Methods Literature on randomized controlled trials ofACEI for inhibiting AER in normotensive diabetic patients was searched. The electronic databasesretrieved were Medline (1980 ― 2003), Embase database (1980 ― 2000), Cochrane Library, CL( 1980 ―2004), CBMdisc( 1980 ― 2002), and IPA( 1980 ― 2002). Seven studies were chosen. Data werecombined by Revman 4.2. Results: The pooled effect of change in AER is - 56.31 μg·min^(-1)) [ -81.96, -30.66] (P<0.0001). According to the analysis of subgroups, the pooled effects of 1 - 5 yearsare - 11.97 μg·min^(-1)[-22.04, -1.89] (P = 0.02), -28.01 μg·min^(-1)[-34.50, -21.52](P<0.00001), -43.24 μg·min^(-1) [ -57.15, -29.32] (P< 0.00001), -61.65 μg·min^(-1)[77.77,-45.54] (P< 0.00001), and -98.41 μg·min^(-1)[-162.02,-34.79] (P = 0.002). Regarding progression toclinincal proteinuria as end-point, the pooled Peto OR =0.27 [0.18,0.40] (95% CI), P < 0.00001.According to the analysis of subgroups, the pooled effects of 2 and 5 years are Peto OR = 0.30[0.18,0.51] (P<0.00001) and Peto OR=0.25 [0.13, 0.50](P<0.0001). Publication bias is small.Conclusion In normotensive diabetic patients, ACEI inhibits AER effectively and reduces theprobability of progression of microalbuminuria to clinical proteinuria.展开更多

Methods Twenty-eight patients with type Ⅱ diabetes(T2D) were undergone pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMF) stimulation at the acupoints of Píshū(脾俞 BL 20), Zúsānl(足三里 ST 36), Shènshū(肾俞 BL 23) and Yíshū(胰俞, EX-B3) for a period of 4 weeks. Urinary micro-albumin(U-m Alb) excretion, plasma methane dicarboxylic aldehyde(MDA and lipopolysaccharide(LPS) of the patients were used for evaluating therapeutic efficacies. Results After the acumagnetotherapy, U-m Alb excretion in the participated patients was markedly reduced(27.21±3.51 vs 8.51±0.95, P0.001) accompanied with decreased MDA(16.46±1.17 vs 12.40±1.86, P0.05) and LPS(37.41±3.84 vs 21.63±3.61, P0.05) levels in plasma while the metabolic control of these patients was not significantly altered. Acumagnetotherapy increased IκBα content(0.69±1.17 vs 1.30±0.29, P0.01), an inhibitory protein of inflammatory response, and correspondingly reduced the protein levels of inflammatory activating proteins, NF-κB p65(0.98±0.42 vs 0.43±0.28, P0.05) and NF-κB p50(1.19±0.40 vs 0.76±0.30, P0.05). The acumagnetotherapy also inhibited the oxidantproducing enzyme, Nox4 protein expression(1.32±0.40 vs 0.37±0.23, P0.05) in patient 's blood lymphocytes. Conclusion Short-term intervention of acumagnetotherapy in patients with T2 D mitigates DKD progress potentially by its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects.展开更多
