Objective:To analyze the impact of rare bacteria infection on clinical outcome in patients with diabetic foot ulcer(DFU).Methods:A total of 288 cases infected with single strains bacteria were selected. Data were grouped according to the 15 bacteria infection identified. The outcomes of healing, amputation, cardio and cerebrovascular events, and death were collected, and risk factors to the outcome were analyzed.Results:The rare infected bacteria were acinetobacter baumannii, staphylococcus epidermidis, morgan morganella, staphylococcus haemolyticus, streptococcus lactis, streptococcus agalactiae, enterobacter cloacae, and serratia marcescens.There were significant differences in age, albumin, HbA 1C, body mass index, condition of foot ulcer, degree of infection, healing, and minor amputation among these groups. Severe lower extremity arterial disease and age over 70 years were the main risk factors for the healing of ulcers. Wagner grade over 3 and infected with streptococcus lactis were the main risk factors for minor amputation. Severe lower extremity arterial disease, hemoglobin(Hb)≤90 g/L, and albumin(ALB)≤30 g/L were the main risk factors for major amputation. Estimated glomerular filtration rate <60 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 and Hb≤90 g/L were the main risk factors for heart failure. Age over 70 years and ALB≤30 g/L were the main risk factors for death(All P<0.05). Conclusion:There exist significant differences in general condition, foot ulcer, and outcome in DFU patients infected with rare bacteria strains.

Objective Most common infected bacteria were found to analyze their effects on clinical characteristics and 3-year outcome of patients with diabetic foot ulcer ( DFU ) . Methods Materials of cases with positive bacterial culture were selected from DFU patients. 203 cases were infected with the most common 6 strains of mono-bacteria, and 62 cases were infected with multi-bacteria. Data were grouped according to the most common 6 infected bacteria. The outcomes of healing, recurrence, amputation, cardiac events, cerebrovascular events and death were calculated of 3 years after hospitalization. Clinical characteristics of mono-and multi-infected groups and these 6 mono-bacterial infection groups, and risk factors to outcome were analyzed. Results No significant difference was found in baseline clinical characteristics, cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and death during follow-up between mono-and multi-infected groups. The most common 6 infected bacteria were staphylococcus aureus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, proteus, enterococcus faecalis, escherichia coli and klebsiella pneumoniae. Among these groups, there were no significant differences of baseline clinical characteristics and recurrence, cardiac and cerebrovascular events, and death except for the foot ulcer and foot ulcer related prognosis. In staphylococcus aureus infected group, severe lower extremity arterial disease (8.5%), Wagner grade 3-5 (48.9%), moderate and severe infection rate (34.0%) were significantly lower than other groups, and the healing rate ( 93. 6%) was higher than other groups ( all P<0.05). Severe lower extremity arterial disease, cardiac function grading over 3(NYHA), eGFR<60 ml·min-1· (1.73 m2)-1, duration of DFU over 30 days were the main risk factors for ulcers′healing. Wagner grade over 3 was main risk factor for minor amputation. Severe lower extremity arterial disease, Hb<90g/L were the main risk factors for major amputation. Cardiac function grading over 3 ( NYHA ) was main risk factor for cardiac events, and also for death. ALB<30 g/L was main risk factor for death (all P<0.05). Conclusion DFU patients infected with different strains of bacteria were significantly different in foot ulcer and healing rate, while not in cardiac and cerebrovascular events and death.

Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2019;35(12):1073-1078
In Nov 2019, " The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism" published an article " Association of inpatient glucose measurements with amputations in patients hospitalized with acute diabetic foot" [Peled S, Pollack R, Elishoov O, et al. J Clin Endocrinol Metab, 2019, 104(11): 5445-5452. DOI: 10.1210/jc.2019-00774], with the permission of the original journal, we translated it into Chinese. This article studied the relationship of glycemic indices during hospitalization with amputations in patients with acute diabetic foot. The retrospective cohort study included 418 patients admitted with acute diabetic foot in the diabetic foot unit during 2015-2017. Information on demographic characteristics, medical history, laboratory tests, and point-of-care glucose measurements were collected. The primary outcomes were any or major amputation during hospitalization. 45 496 glucose measurements were taken for 418 patients hospitalized with acute diabetic foot. Patients experiencing any hyperglycemia and any or severe hypoglycemia were more likely to undergo any or major amputations during hospitalization. High glycemic variability was associated with major amputations. Peripheral vascular disease, high Wagner score, and hypoglycemia were independent predictors of amputations. Older age, peripheral vascular disease, previous amputation, elevated white blood cell, high Wagner score, and hypoglycemia were independent predictors of major amputations. Hypoglycemia appeared to be an independent risk factor for any and major amputations. While it is unclear whether hypoglycemia directly contributes to adverse outcomes, efforts to minimize in-hospital hypoglycemic events are needed.

Objective Secondary infection with pseudomonas aeruginosa( PA) in diabetic foot ulcer( DFU) was analyzed to investigate the related risk factor, antibiotic resistance, and prognoses of the infection. Methods Pathogen cultures were carried out in 966 DFU patients with their clinical data collected. All of the patients were followed-up for two years to observe the outcomes, including ulcer healing, amputation, recurrence of ulcers, non-fatal cardiovascular events, and death. The antibiotic susceptibility, risk factors and associated outcome of secondary PA infection were analyzed. Results Total incidence of PA infection was 13. 0% in DFU patients, of which 38. 1%was secondary. The susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA to tobramycin, meropenem, eftazidime, levofloxacin, cefepime, and cefepime were similar to those in primary infected PA. However, the susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA to piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ciprofloxacin, imipenen, gentamicin, aztreonam, and amikacin decreased by 12% to 22% as compared with primary infected PA. The healing rate was much lower in patients with secondary PA infection compared with those with primary PA infection, and the accumulated healing rates at2yearswere44.44% and70.4% (P=0.01) respectively. Theriskofulcerhealingfailurewithintwoyears increased by 3 folds in patients with secondary PA infection. After adjusting for age, sex, Wagner grade, infection grade, and duration of DFU, plasma albumin level was an independent risk factor for secondary PA infection in patients with DFU(P=0. 001). Conclusions The antibiotics susceptibility rates of secondary infected PA were lower than those of primary infected PA. Secondary PA infection in DFU was less likely to be healed. Plasma albumin level was a risk factor for secondary PA infection.

Objective To investigate the association of serum C peptide concentration with the severity and the outcome of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU). Methods The clinical data of 257 inpatients with DFU were collected, including fasting and postprandial 2h C peptide levels and C peptide area under curve (AUCCP ). The patients were followed up on the outcomes of ulcers and death. The associations of serum C peptide concentration with the Wagner degree, infection severity, and healing rate were analyzed. Results The medians of fasting and 2h postprandial serum C peptide as well as AUCCP were 1. 37(0. 02 ~ 9. 00) nmol/ L, 3. 22(0. 02 ~ 29. 61) nmol/ L, and 511. 65 (3. 60 ~ 2 691. 30)nmol·min-1 ·L-1 respectively, which were lower than general levels. The time of follow-up in our study was 2. 8 (1. 0 ~ 5. 1) years. By the end of study, the wound of 75. 88% patients was healed, 3. 5%undergone major amputation, and 23. 74% died. After adjusting for relative factors, there were no significant associations of serum fasting and postprandial C peptide levels and AUCCP with Wagner degree and infection severity (P>0. 05). Cox regression analysis showed that the fasting plasma C peptide and hemoglobin were the independent protective factors for the healing of ulcers; old age, male, higher infection degree, and diabetes family history were their independent risk factors ( all P < 0. 05). Conclusions The lower plasma fasting C peptide concentration in patients with DFU is not correlated with Wagner degree and infection severity, but closely related with healing rate.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of peiminine on increasing the chemosensitivity of 5 kinds of cancer cells. METH-ODS:Using human esophageal cancer Eca-109 cell,human breast cancer MCF-7 cell,human small cell lung cancer A549 cell,hu-man hepatoma HepG2 cell and human cervical cancer HeLa cell as objects,MTT colorimetric method was used to detect the growth inhibition rate of above-mentioned 5 kinds of cancer cells after treated by peiminine with maximal non-toxic mass concentra-tion(20 μg/mL)and adriamycin with different gradient mass concentrations(0.026-2.1,0.026-2.1,0.125-2.0,0.125-2.0,0.0625-0.10μg/mL)for 72 h. The half inhibitory concentration(IC50)was calculated. Crystal violet staining method was adopted to observe the proliferation of above-mentioned cancer cells after treated by peiminine with maximal non-toxic mass concentration and adriamycin with low mass concentrations(0.02,0.005,0.04,0.02,0.01 μg/mL)for 7 d. Solvent control,single use of peiminine and adriam-ycin control were conducted. RESULTS:Compared with single use of adriamycin,the combination use of peiminine and adriamy-cin can improve the growth inhibition rate of 5 kinds of cancer cells to certain degree,most of the differences were statistically sig-nificant (P<0.05 or P<0.01);and IC50 was obviously decreased,with statistical significances (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with solvent control,single use of peiminine or adriamycin had no obvious effects on the proliferation of above-mentioned cancer cells in 7 d,and the combination use of peiminine and adriamycin can obviously inhibit the proliferation of above-mentioned cancer cells in 7 d. CONCLUSIONS:Peiminine can enhance the sensitivity of above-mentioned-mentioned 5 kinds of cancer cells to cer-tain degree,showing certain chemosensitivity increasing effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of simvastatin on oxidative stress and inflammatory reac-tion in patients with stable moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and its mechanism. Meth-ods Sixty patients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were randomly divided into the simvas-tatin group and the placebo group.The simvastatin group was treated with simvastatin in 40 mg/d for 12 weeks,and the placebo group with placebo.The general clinical features,the concentration of inflammatory factors,pulmonary function,6-minute walk test and MRC score were compared between the two groups.Results There was no signif-icant difference between these two groups in basic features. There was a decrease of IL-6,TNF-a and Hs-CRP in concentration in the simvastatin group after treatment. which was significantly lower than that of the placebo group after treatment.The 6-minute walk test in the simvastatin group was much better than that in the placebo group(P=0.00).MRC score was improved compared with therapy before(P=0.02).There was no significantly difference in 6-minute walk test and MRC score before and after treatment in the placebo group(P=0.81). The PaO2 was im-proved after treatment in the simvastatin group compared with therapy before and that in the placebo group after therapy(P<0.05)respectively.There was no significantly difference in FEV1and FVC between these two groups. Conclusion Simvastatin can decrease the concentration of inflammatory factors in stable moderate to severe chron-ic obstructive pulmonary disease,and improve the pulmonary function.

Objective To investigate the level of plasma GDF-15 in patients with COPD and its clinical value in the diagnosis of COPD in the stable stage and in acute exacerbation stage. Methods From 2015 to 2016, 58 cases of patients with COPD were enrolled ,including COPD patients in the stable stage and in acute exacerba-tion stage. 29 cases of COPD patients diagnosed in our hospital were enrolled in the experimental group ,and 29 cases of age-,gender and body mass index-matched healthy people were enrolled in the control group. Compared and analyzed the blood cell count ,determination of plasma GDF-15 and C-reactive protein were performed and ana-lyzed. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to compare levels of GDF-15 and C-reactive protein between pa-tients with the stable stage of COPD and those with acute exacerbation stage of COPD. The diagnostic efficacy was compared between GDF-15 and C-reactive protein in differentiatingthe COPD in acute exacerbation period and in the stable period. Results Level of GDF-15 in the stable COPD patients was significantly increased compared with that in the control group. The plasma GDF-15 level was significantly increased in acute exacerbation COPD patients compared to patient with the stable COPD(P<0.001). For the stable COPD patients,GDF-15 level and C-reactive protein level was positively correlated(r = 0.776,P < 0.001). In acute exacerbation COPD patients, GDF-15 level and C-reactive protein level was positively correlated (r = 0.877,P < 0.001). The ROC curves showed that the GDF-15 level on the diagnosis of acute exacerbation COPD patients with an AUC was 0.783(95%CI,0.666~0.900,P<0.001)and with the diagnostic accuracy was 69%. C-reactive protein in the acute exacer-bation of AUC diagnosis of COPD was 0.686(95%CI:0.549~0.823,P<0.01)and the diagnostic accuracy rate was 59%. Conclusion The plasma level of GDF-15 was significantly increased in COPD patients compared with people in the healthy control group. Plasma GDF-15 and C- reactive protein were highly correlated in the stable stage of COPD patients and in acute exacerbation stage of COPD patients. The diagnostic accuracy of GDF in patients with the stable stage of COPD and with acute exacerbation stage of COPD was higher than C-reactive pro tein.
