Methods: A total of 81 elderly patients with T2DM and cerebral infarction were selected as the observation group, 80 cases of T2DM patients without cerebral infarction were selected as T2DM group, and 80 healthy elderly people as control group. According to the Adama classification, the patients in the observation group were divided into three groups: lacunar infarction group (n=28), small infarction group (n=39) and large infarction group (n=14). The blood rheology and coagulation function indexes levels among the groups were compared. Results: The single factor variance analysis showed that the differences of the high shear whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, low shear whole blood viscosity, APTT, PT, FIB and D-D levels among the control group were significant, T2DM group and observation group were statistically significant. Compared with the control group, the high shear whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, low shear whole blood viscosity, FIB and D-D levels in the T2DM group and observation group were significantly increased, PT and APTT were decreased sharply, and in the observation group high shear whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, low shear whole blood viscosity, FIB and D-D levels were significantly higher than that of T2DM group APTT, and PT were significantly lower than those of T2DM group. Lacunar infarction group, small infarction group and large infarction group with increased infarct size, with high shear whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, low shear whole blood viscosity, FIB and D-D levels were significantly increased, while APTT and PT were significantly decreased. Conclusion: T2DM and cerebral infarction patients with abnormal blood rheology and coagulation function, the index examination has important clinical value for cerebral infarction area evaluation.展开更多

Heart rate was collected from baseline resting electrocardiogram and mortality(all-cause and CVD) was obtained from state and national death registry. Kaplan-Meier(K-M) and Cox proportional hazard analyses were used to assess the association.RESULTS The mean age, body mass index(BMI) and systolic blood pressure(SBP) of the cohort were 61.4 ± 9.2 years, 32.0 ± 6.6 kg/m2, and 139.4 ± 19.4 mmHg respectively. Fiftysix percent were females, 85% were whites, 15% were blacks, 18% were smokers. The mean ± SD heart rate was 69.8(11.9) beats per minute(bpm). After a median follow-up time of 8.5 years(maximum follow-up time is 14.0 years), 258 participants were deceased. In K-M analysis, participants with heart rate above the median had a significantly higher event rate compared with those below the median(log-rank P = 0.0223). A one standard deviation increase in heart rate was associated with allcause mortality in unadjusted(hazard ratio 1.16, 95%CI: 1.03-1.31) and adjusted(hazard ratio 1.20, 95%CI: 1.05-1.37) models. Similar results were obtained with CVD mortality as the outcome of interest.CONCLUSION Heart rate is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in this population with type 2 diabetes. In this study, a 1-SD increase in heart rate was associated with a 20% increase in risk suggesting that additional prognostic information may be gleaned from this ubiquitously collected vital sign.展开更多
