AIM:To explore the changes of intesti-nal flora in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with coronary heart disease after lira-glutide treatment and its correlation with glucose and lipid metabolism indexes.METHODS:Twenty-six patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicat-ed with coronary heart disease were selected to compare the changes of glucose and lipid metabo-lism indexes and intestinal flora(high-throughput sequencing technique)before and after liraglutide treatment,and to analyze the correlation between glucose and lipid metabolism indexes and intestinal flora.RESULTS:Compared with those before treat-ment,the indexes of glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism in the patients were significantly de-creased(P＜0.01).Liraglutide had no significant ef-fect on the diversity of intestinal flora(P＞0.05),but can significantly change the composition of intesti-nal flora(P＜0.05).While beneficial bacteria such as Lachnospiraceae increased significantly,it signifi-cantly reduced the abundance of pathogenic bacte-ria such as Escherichia_Shigella(P＜0.05),and pro-moted the production of short-chain fatty acids and body metabolism.CONCLUSION:Lilalutide can affect the composition of intestinal flora in type 2 diabetes patients with coronary heart disease,and then participate in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic process and clinical characteristics of autoimmune gastritis(AIG)in order to improve the awareness and diagnostic proficiency of this disease.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 114 patients diagnosed with AIG in Army Medical Center of PLA between January 2021 and June 2024.Comprehensive statistical analysis was performed on clinical data,including demographic characteristics(age,sex),clinical symptoms,comorbidities,diagnostic process,Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection and treatment history,laboratory indicators[results of routine blood test,anemia-related indices,thyroid function,anti-parietal cell antibody(APCA),intrinsic factor antibody(IFA)],and gastrointestinal endoscopic findings(frequency and endoscopic features).Results Among the 114 patients,males accounted for 28.1%(32/114)and females for 71.9%(82/114),and they were at a mean age of 56.3±8.4 years.Predominant symptoms included epigastric/upper abdominal pain(47.4%,54/114)and postprandial fullness(43.0%,49/114),while 24.6%(28/114)reported acid reflux or heartburn.Diagnostic delay occurred in 76.4%(87/114)of patients,with a median delay duration of 11.5 months.Primary diagnostic clues were endoscopic reverse gradient atrophy(significantly more severe mucosal atrophy in the gastric corpus/fundus versus antrum;53.5%,61/114)and repeated H.pylori eradication failure(≥2 attempts;22.8%,26/114).Positivity rate of thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb)and thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb)was 56.9%(33/58)and 36.2%(21/58),respectively.APCA positive rate was 98.8%(81/82),IFA positive rate was 34.1%(28/82),and dual-antibody rate was 32.9%(27/82).Anemia was present in 25.7%(26/101)of the patients.Gastric neuroendocrine tumors(NET)were found in 12.2%(14/114),intraepithelial neoplasia in 5.3%(6/114),and gastric adenocarcinoma in 0.9%(1/114).Among colonoscopy-examined patients,tubular adenomas occurred in 25.0%(13/52)and colorectal malignancies in 3.4%(2/58).There were 18.4%(21/114)patients having gallbladder-related diseases,7.9%(9/114)having diabetes mellitus,and 1.8%(2/114)of subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord.Conclusion AIG is frequently associated with diagnostic delay.The reverse pattern of atrophy on endoscopy serves as a critical diagnostic clue,necessitating enhanced recognition in endoscopists.Patients with recurrent H.pylori eradication failure(≥2 attempts)should be evaluated for AIG.
