[Summary]Early-onset DM and suboptimal glycemic control leads to irreversible damage to nerves,blood vessels,and other target organs.Vitamin D is an important calcium and phosphorus regulator in the body,and its receptor is present in various cells throughout the body,playing an integral role in many biological effects.Previous studies have identified an inverse or independent relationship between vitamin D levels and the prevalence of microangiopathic complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).However,it remains to be investigated whether serum vitamin D levels have a contributory role in the development of microvascular complications in patients with early-onset T2DM,and whether supplementation with vitamin D has a beneficial impact on the risk of microvascular complications in early-onset T2DM.In this article,we will review the advances in the relationship between vitamin D and early-onset T2DM combined with microangiopathy.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate changes in ultrafast pulse wave velocity (ufPWV) in individuals with arterial stiffness and subclinical atherosclerosis (subAS), and to provide cutoff values. Methods: This retrospective study recruited 231 participants, including 67 patients with subAS. The pulse wave velocity was measured at the beginning and end of systole (PWV-BS and PWVES, respectively) using ultrafast ultrasonography to assess arterial stiffness. The right and left common carotid arteries were measured separately, and laboratory metabolic parameters were also collected. Participants were balanced between groups using propensity score matching (PSM) at a 1:1 ratio, adjusting for age, sex, and waist-to-hip ratio as potential confounders. Cutoff values of ufPWV for monitoring subAS were determined via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: PWV-ES, unlike PWV-BS, was higher in the subAS subgroup than in the subAS-free group after PSM (all P<0.05). For each 1 m/s increase in left, right, and bilateral mean PWV-ES, the risk of subAS increased by 23% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.46), 26% (95% CI, 1.07 to 1.52), and 38% (95% CI, 1.12 to 1.72), respectively. According to ROC analyses, predictive potential was found for left PWV-ES (cutoff value=7.910 m/s, P=0.002), right PWV-ES (cutoff value=6.615 m/s, P=0.003), and bilateral mean PWV-ES (cutoff value=7.415 m/s, P<0.001), but not for PWV-BS (all P>0.05). Conclusion PWV-ES measured using ultrafast ultrasonography was significantly higher in individuals with subAS than in those without. Specific PWV-ES cutoff values showed potential for predicting an increased risk of subAS.

The correlation of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs 10569304 on the second ex-pressed region of hole gene and congenital heart disease (CHD) of human being, and the effect of hole gene on CHD were investigated. 179 patients with CHD as CHD group and 183 healthy people as control group were selected in the case-control study. DNA was abstracted from the peripheral blood by phenol-chloroform method. Primer was designed for the flanking sequence of SNP rs10569304 on the second expressed region of hole gene. The genotype was identified by PCR de-generative acrylamide electrophoresis with amplification products. Then the three amplification products received sequencing. By chi-square test, the genotype frequency and allele frequency in CHD group and control group were analyzed. There was insertion-deletion (GCC/-) of SNP rs10569304 which corresponded to alleles of A and B in Southern Chinese people. The genotype fre-quency and allele frequency in control group and CHD group were met the Hardy-Weinberg equilib-rium. By chi-square test, in control group and CHD group, the genotype frequency of AA (insertion homozygous), AB (insertion-deletion heterozygous) and BB (deletion homozygous) was 21.31%, 54.09%, 24.59% and 16.75%, 46.36%, 36.87%, respectively. The distributional difference of geno-type frequency bad statistical significance (χ2=6.51, P<0.05);The allele frequency of A and B was 48.36% and 51.64% in control group, 39.94% and 60.06% in CHD group, respectively. The distribu-tional difference of allele frequency had statistical significance (χ2=5.20, P<0.05). Meanwhile, by contrast with the control group, the BB genotype frequency and B allele frequency in CHD group was higher, but the AA and AB frequency was lower. There was higher risk to suffer from CHD in-volving B allele. BB genotype had 1.907-fold increased risk of developing CHD according to AA genotype (P<0.05). It is concluded that there is insertion-deletion (GCC/-) of SNP rs10569304 in the Southern Chinese people, and the people whose hole gene involving BB genotype have higher risk to suffering from CHD.
