Simultaneous 24-h recordings of ambulatory ECG and blood pressure monitoring were performed in 36 male old patients with simple EH and 33 male old patients with EH combined with T2DM. HRV analysis included time domain parameters such as SDNN, SDANN, SDNNi, rMSSD and pNN50, and total spectral power (TP) of HRV, which mainly consists of VLF, LF and HF component along with LF/HF ratio, was also obtained. The value of ambulatory blood pressure was represented as the mean blood pressure (mean systolic/mSBP, diastolic/mDBP and pulse pressure/mPP) during different periods (24 h/24 h, day time/d and night time/n). Standard deviation (SD) as well as coefficient of variance (CV) of blood pressure during each above-mentioned period were obtained to reflect the long-term BPV. Our result showed that SDNN, SDNNi, SDANN, rMSSD, PNN50, TP and HF of HRV in cases of EH with T2DM were all significantly lower than those in simple EH subjects (P〈0.05). No significant differences in VLF or LF was found between the two groups (P〉0.05), while LF/HF ratio was significantly higher in EH with T2DM patients than in simple EH subjects (P〈0.01). Moreover, dmSBP, 24 h-mPP and dmPP were all significantly higher in EH with T2DM patients than in simple EH subjects (P〈0.05), while nmSBP, 24 h-mSBP, 24 h-mDBP, dmDBP, nmDBP or nmPP showed no significant difference between this two groups of patients (P〉0.05). And dSBPSD, dSBPCV and 24 h-SBPSD were all significantly higher in EH with T2DM patients than in simple EH subjects (P〈0.05), while the other BPV indexes showed no significant difference between this two groups (P〉0.05). It is concluded that the cardiovascular autonomic nervous systems in EH patients was further impaired by T2DM, displaying lowering of HRV and enlargement of BPV, which in turn induced abnormal structural and functional changes of cardiovascular systems. Therefore, improving cardiovascular autonomic nervous systems might reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular complications in the EH patients with IGM.展开更多

This study investigates the effect of chronic in vitro ethanol exposure on the metabolism of immature rat cerebellar granular cells(CGCs) and on their response to oxygen-glucose deprivation(OGD). Primary CGC cultures were exposed to ethanol(100 mM in culture medium) or to control ethanol-free medium starting day one in vitro(DIV1). At DIV8, the expression of ATP synthase gene ATP5 g3 was quantified using real-time PCR, then cultures were exposed to 3 hours of OGD or normoxic conditions. Subsequently, cellular metabolism was assessed by a resazurin assay and by ATP level measurement. ATP5 g3 expression was reduced by 12-fold(P = 0.03) and resazurin metabolism and ATP level were decreased to 74.4 ± 4.6% and 55.5 ± 6.9%, respectively after chronic ethanol treatment compared to control values(P < 0.01). Additionally, after OGD exposure of ethanol-treated cultures, resazurin metabolism and ATP level were decreased to 12.7 ± 1.0% and 9.0 ± 2.0% from control values(P < 0.01). These results suggest that chronic ethanol exposure reduces the cellular ATP level, possibly through a gene expression down-regulation mechanism, and increases the vulnerability to oxygen-glucose deprivation. Thus, interventions which improve metabolic function and sustain ATP-levels could attenuate ethanol-induced neuronal dysfunction and should be addressed in future studies.展开更多

Methods:We evaluated 46 women with MFO and 30 normal women as controls. All the subjects were given 75g of glucose orally in order to perform the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin releasing test (IRT), and they were also evaluated for insulin resistance using the insulin resistance index with homeostatic model assessment (HOMA). Results:The occurrence of impaired glucose tolerance in women with MOF was 10.87%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (3.33% ,P 〈 0.05). The rate of insulin resistance was 30.43% in the study group as compared to 10.00% in the control group. The results showed that there was significant difference between the two groups(P 〈 0.05). The levels of FSH,LH,PRL,E2,T and P between the two groups had no significant difference (P 〉 0.05). BMI in women with impaired glucose tolerance was correlated positively to insulin resistance (r = 0.567, P 〈 0.05). Conclusion:Abnormal glucose metabolism was observed in women with unitary multiple ovarian follicles, and this could be attributed to obesity and insulin resistance. Women with MOF and associated obesity should be subjected to OGTT so that their glucose levels can be monitored as a preventive measure.展开更多

However, the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. This study was designed to observe cardiac dysfunction in prediabetic rats with IGT and to determine whether glucose metabolic abnormalities, inflammation and apoptosis are linked to it.Methods The IGT rat models were induced by streptozocin, and the heart functions were assessed by echocardiography. Myocardial glucose metabolism was analyzed by glycogen periodic acid-Schiff staining, and the pro-apoptotic effect of IGT was evaluated by TUNEL staining. Additionally, caspase-3 activation, macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and G-protein coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) were detected by Western blotting in cardiac tissue lysates.Results Area-under-the-curve of blood glucose in rats injected with streptozotocin was higher than that in controls, increased by 16.28%, 38.60% and 38.61% at 2, 4 and 6 weeks respectively (F=15.370, P=0.003). Abnormal cardiac functions and apoptotic cardiomyocytes were observed in the IGT rats, the ejection fraction (EF) being (68.594-6.62)% in IGT rats vs. (81.07±4.59)% in controls (t=4.020, P=0.002). There was more glucose which was converted to glycogen in the myocardial tissues of IGT rats, especially in cardiac perivascular tissues. Compared to controls, the cleaved caspase-3, MIF and GRK2 were expressed at higher levels in the myocardial tissues of IGT rats.Conclusions IGT in the prediabetes period resulted in cardiac dysfunction linked to abnormal glycogen storage and apoptosis. Additionally, MIF and GRK2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of cardiac dysfunction in prediabetes and their regulation may contribute to the design of novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for those who have potential risks for diabetic cardiovascular complications.展开更多

Simultaneous 24-h recordings of ambulatory ECG and blood pressure monitoring were performed in 36 male old patients with simple EH and 33 male old patients with EH combined with T2DM. HRV analysis included time domain parameters such as SDNN, SDANN, SDNNi, rMSSD and pNN50, and total spectral power (TP) of HRV, which mainly consists of VLF, LF and HF component along with LF/HF ratio, was also obtained. The value of ambulatory blood pressure was represented as the mean blood pressure (mean systolic/mSBP, diastolic/mDBP and pulse pressure/mPP) during different periods (24 h/24 h, day time/d and night time/n). Standard deviation (SD) as well as coefficient of variance (CV) of blood pressure during each above-mentioned period were obtained to reflect the long-term BPV. Our result showed that SDNN, SDNNi, SDANN, rMSSD, PNN50, TP and HF of HRV in cases of EH with T2DM were all significantly lower than those in simple EH subjects (P〈0.05). No significant differences in VLF or LF was found between the two groups (P〉0.05), while LF/HF ratio was significantly higher in EH with T2DM patients than in simple EH subjects (P〈0.01). Moreover, dmSBP, 24 h-mPP and dmPP were all significantly higher in EH with T2DM patients than in simple EH subjects (P〈0.05), while nmSBP, 24 h-mSBP, 24 h-mDBP, dmDBP, nmDBP or nmPP showed no significant difference between this two groups of patients (P〉0.05). And dSBPSD, dSBPCV and 24 h-SBPSD were all significantly higher in EH with T2DM patients than in simple EH subjects (P〈0.05), while the other BPV indexes showed no significant difference between this two groups (P〉0.05). It is concluded that the cardiovascular autonomic nervous systems in EH patients was further impaired by T2DM, displaying lowering of HRV and enlargement of BPV, which in turn induced abnormal structural and functional changes of cardiovascular systems. Therefore, improving cardiovascular autonomic nervous systems might reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular complications in the EH patients with IGM.

文摘目的分析健胰方加减对糖调节受损患者血糖、胰岛素代谢水平的影响。方法90例糖调节受损患者,采取随机法分为对照组和观察组,每组45例。对照组行生活方式干预,观察组在对照组的基础上应用健胰方加减辅助治疗。比较两组患者治疗前以及治疗3个月后的糖代谢指标[空腹血糖(FBG)、餐后2小时血糖(2 h PG)、糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)]水平、胰岛素代谢指标[脂联素、胰岛β细胞功能指数(HOMA-β)、空腹胰岛素(FINS)、胰岛素抵抗指数(HOMA-IR)]水平。结果治疗后,观察组患者FBG(4.60±0.50)mmol/L、2 h PG(7.02±1.01)mmol/L、HbA1c(4.53±0.03)%均低于对照组的(5.70±0.60)mmol/L、(7.75±1.02)mmol/L、(5.75±0.50)%,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。治疗后,观察组患者脂联素(3.10±0.80)mg/L、HOMA-β(4.84±0.50)均高于对照组的(2.53±0.80)mg/L、(4.40±0.30),FINS(7.05±0.05)mIU/L、HOMA-IR(1.45±0.30)均低于对照组的(9.20±2.02)mIU/L、(2.33±0.20),差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论生活方式干预配合健胰方加减治疗,有助于糖调节受损患者血糖、胰岛素代谢水平调节,有效阻断疾病发展。
文摘目的:检测脂联素(adiponectin,ADPN)在合并糖代谢异常的冠心病患者血浆中浓度的变化,探讨其临床意义。方法:收集2009年8月至2010年4月在湘雅医院心内科经冠状动脉造影(coronary angiography,CAG)检查证实为冠心病的患者87名,根据糖代谢情况分为单纯冠心病组(coronary heart disease group,CHD组,n=31)、冠心病合并糖耐量异常组(CHD combine with impaired glucose tolerance group,CHD+IGT组,n=28)和冠心病合并糖尿病组(CHDcombine with diabetes mellitus group,CHD+DM组,n=28),另选健康体检者31例为正常对照组(normal control group,NC组)。采用酶联免疫吸附法检测血浆ADPN水平;为所有受试对象测身高、体质量、腰围、血压;测空腹血糖、胰岛素、血脂、高敏C反应蛋白(high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,hs-CRP)、游离脂肪酸(free fatty acid,FFA)和肝、肾功能等,计算体质量指数(body mass index,BMI)和胰岛素抵抗指数(homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance,HOMA-IR)。结果:1)CHD组、CHD+IGT组、CHD+DM组患者血浆ADPN水平均低于NC组(P<0.05);2)与CHD组相比,CHD+DM组ADPN水平最低,CHD+IGT组次之,各组间差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);3)ADPN与HDL-C呈正相关(r=0.483,P<0.01),与hs-CRP和冠脉Gensini积分呈负相关(r=–0.489,P<0.05;r=–0.252,P<0.05)。结论:冠心病患者血浆ADPN浓度降低;合并糖代谢异常的冠心病患者血浆ADPN浓度更低,且随着糖代谢异常程度加重降低更显著;冠心病与糖代谢异常是影响血浆ADPN浓度改变的两个重要因素,血浆ADPN水平显著降低反映了上述两种疾病状态的叠加作用。ADPN联合HDL-C,hs-CRP,Gensini积分等血清学指标可为判断合并糖代谢异常的冠心病患者的疾病严重程度提供一定参考。
