Purpose: To assess the levels of general physicians’ knowledge, attitude and practice in terms of early detection of DN in Cotonou. Method: It was a cross-sectional, analytical and descriptive study which was conducted from 1st March 2015 to 30th September 2015. Every general physician working in a health structure in Cotonou who consented to participate in the study was included. We did not included medical specialists and general physicians working in nephrology department. Data were collected through a survey form designed with a score to assess the various items such as: knowledge, attitude and practice. The significance threshold is set to below 0.05. Results: In total, 202 general physicians were included. The average age was 30.9 ± 6.9 years ranging from 24 to 68 years. A male predominance was observed with 2.2 sex ratio. The majority of respondent medical physicians had poor knowledge in 76.2% cases, bad attitudes (61%) and bad practices (64.9%) in terms of early detection of diabetic nephropathy. There was positive impact of continuing medical training focused on diabetic nephropathy on attitudes (p = 0.016) and practices (p = 0.001) of these physicians. Conclusion: Diabetic nephropathy requires particular attention. General physicians’ continuous training is a principal solution.展开更多

On the basis of conventional treatment, control group of patients received benazepril therapy, observation group of patients received calcium dobesilate combined with benazepril therapy, and the treatment lasted for 3 months. Before and after treatment, automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect the levels of renal injury indexes in peripheral blood, RIA method was used to detect the levels of renal injury indexes in urine, ELISA method was used to detect the levels of renal fibrosis indexes and Western-blot method was used to detect the protein expression of TGF-β1/BMP-7 and Smad signaling pathway molecules in renal tissue. Results: Before treatment, differences in renal injury index levels, renal fibrosis index levels and signaling pathway molecule protein expression were not statistically significant between two groups of patients. After treatment, BUN, SCr andβ-TP levels in the peripheral blood as well as KIM-1 level in urine of observation group were lower than those of control group;renal fibrosis indexes TGF-β1, CTGF, TIMP-1, LN and HA levels in serum of observation group were lower than those of control group;TGF-β1 and Smad2/3 protein expression in renal tissue of observation group were lower than those of control group while Smad7 and BMP-7 protein expression were higher than those of control group.Conclusion: Calcium dobesilate combined with benazepril therapy can reduce the renal injury and inhibit the fibrosis process in patients with early diabetic nephropathy, and it achieves the above effect by regulating the TGF-β1/BMP-7 and Smad signaling pathway function.展开更多

Retrospectively, previously published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of four different Chinese patent medicines combined with ACEI or ARB in the treatment of patients with early DN were searched overall from databases. The data were analyzed by R, Generate Mixed Treatment Comparisons and STATA softwares. A total of 78 RCTs were finally included. Network meta-analysis showed that the total effective rate of the Jinshuibao capsule-ACEI/ARB combination group and Huangkui capsule-ACEI/ARB combination groups were better than the others;Jinshuibao capsule-ACEI/ARB combination group reduced the 24-h urinary protein excretion (24-h UTP), urine microalbumin excretion rate (UAER), serum creatinine (Scr), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) values. The Huangkui capsule-ACEI/ARB combination demonstrated a better reduction of (blood urea nitrogen [BUN]). Reduced incidences of adverse effects were only observed on treatment with Bailing capsule-ACEI/ARB combination. In early DN, combination of Jinshuibao capsule-ACEI/ARB provided the highest effective rate;moreover, it could reduce the24-h values of UTP, UAER, Scr, and HbAlc;Huangkuai capsule-ACI/ARB combination group showed a good effect on reducing BUN. Bailing capsule-ACEI/ARB combination group had reduced the incidences of adverse reactions.展开更多
