Objective To observe the curative effect on non-obese type 2 diabetes and the effect on change of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) of gastric bypass operation. Methods Thirty-two cases of gastric ulcer with non-obese type 2 diabetes were suffered gastric bypass operation. Plasma glucose concentrations, insulin and GLP-1 were measured respectively in fasting and postprandial conditions before operation and in week 1, 2, 3 and month 1, 3, 6 after gastric bypass operation, and the body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model assessment β cell function index (HBCI) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c， the index was detected only before operation and in month 3, 6 after operation) were also measured. The turnover of the diabetes condition in the 6th month after surgery was observed. Results Compared with the levels before operation, the fasting and postprandial plasma glucose levels were descending (P＜0.05), fasting and postprandial plasma insulin and GLP-1 levels were ascending (P＜0.05), HBCI was ascending and HbA1c was descending significantly after operation respectively (P＜0.05), while BMI changed un-significantly after operation (Pgt;0.05). The diabetes control rate was 78.1%(25/32) overall six months after operation. Level of GLP-1 was negatively correlated with level of plasma glucose (P＜0.05) and positively correlated with level of insulin (P＜0.05). Conclusions Gastric bypass operation can markedly reduce plasma glucose level on the type 2 diabetes patients with non-obese, and the hypoglycemic effect may be contributed by more GLP-1 secretion that caused more insulin secretion, which doesn’t depend on the loss of weight.
ObjectiveTo discuss the characteristics of coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes using coronary angiography of Dual Source CT. MethodsWe collected the clinical data of patients who underwent coronary angiography of Dual Source CT between December 2010 and November 2012 in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital and Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital. A total of 302 patients (74 with type 2 diabetes, and 228 with no diabetes) were examined with CT coronary angiography. All images were comprehensively assessed. Types of plaques and luminal narrowing were evaluated. ResultsPatients with type 2 diabetes had more plaques (P<0.05), especially mixed plaques and non-calcified plaques, than non-diabetic patients (P<0.05). The proportions of calcified plaque, mixed plaques, non-calcified plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes were 29.1%, 41.1%, 29.8%, respectively. The proportions of calcified plaque, mixed plaques, non-calcified plaque in patients with nondiabetic patients were 39.7%, 36.0%, 24.3%, respectively. The difference of the composition between diabetes and nondiabetic was significant (P<0.05). There were more mild, moderate and severe narrowing in type 2 diabetic patients than those in non-diabetic patients (P<0.05). ConclusionCoronary angiography of CT depicts a high plaque burden in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mixed plaque is the most common type), which may cause stenosis easily.
Objective To analyze the citation classics articles， and approach the research development history and the research direction in the future about surgical treatment for type 2 diabetes.

Of the 50 articles， 18 articles were clinical observational study， 20 articles concerned basic science， 10 articles were review articles， and 2 articles were commentary. These citation classics were published from 1990 to 2009， most of them （40） from 2000 to 2009. Three institutions produced 2 top-cited articles， including Medical College of Virginia， Monash University， and East Carolina University. These articles originated from 14 countries， the top was USA （22 articles）. Two persons authored 3 published papers （Cummings DE and Rubino F）. Conclusion Most “citation classics” in research about surgery for type 2 diabetes are observational studies published in high-impact journals by US-based authors after 1990.
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of saxagliptin in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods The following databases as The Cochrane Library (Issue 2, 2011), PubMed (1978 to May 2011), EMbase (1974 to May 2011), CNKI (1978 to May 2011), VIP (1989 to May 2011) and CBM (1978 to May 2011) were searched. The quality of included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was assessed according to the Cochrane Collaboration system review, and then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.0. Results A total of 7 RCTs were included. The results of meta-analyses showed that HbA1c was significantly reduced in the saxagliptin group than that in placebo group (MD= –0.69, 95%CI –0.78 to –0.60, Plt;0.000 01). There was no significant difference in the incident rate of adverse reaction between two groups (RR=1.02, 95%CI 0.98 to 1.06, P=0.26). Conclusion Saxagliptin is effective and safe for type 2 diabetes. But its long-term efficacy and safety still need to be confirmed by performing more high quality, large sample RCTs with long-term follow-up.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of piolitazone combined with metformin for type 2 diabetes mellitus. MethodsThe Cochrane Library (Issue 9, 2015), PubMed, EMbase, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were searched up to September 2015 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about pioglitazone combined with metformin versus sulfonylurea combined with metformin for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted date, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 7 RCTs involving 3 005 patients were included. The results of metaanalysis showed that when the course of treatment was ≤24 weeks, no significant difference was found in the level of HbA1c between the piolitazone plus metformin group and the sulphonylurea plus metformin group (MD=-0.04, 95%CI -0.26 to 0.19, P=0.74), but the piolitazone plus metformin group had lower risk of hypoglycemia (RR=0.39, 95%CI 0.15 to 1.01, P=0.05); when the course of treatment >24 weeks, only one RCT was included, we didn't conduct pool analysis. ConclusionPiolitazone combined with metformin has similar effect to sulphonylurea combined with metformin in controlling blood sugar, but piolitazone combined with metformin has lower incidence of hypoglycemia. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, the above conclusion need to be verified by more high quality studies.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity and its comorbidities. MethodsSuch databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2013), CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data, etc. were electronically searched from inception to November 2013, for including all studies on Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity and its comorbidities. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and evaluated methodological quality of included studies. And then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 25 before and after self-control studies involving 2 966 cases with overweight or obesity were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that:after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operation, the patients had significant reduction in BMI (MD=-16.40, 95%CI-17.42 to-15.38, P < 0.000 01), type 2 diabetes mellitus prevalence (RR=0.23, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.31, P < 0.000 01), and hypertension prevalence (RR=0.34, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.43, P < 0.000 01); besides, fasting glucose, blood pressure and serum lipid levels obviously decreased (P < 0.000 01). ConclusionRoux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity patients is effective in reducing weight loss, type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence and cardiovascular disease incidence. Due to the limitation of the design of the included studies, the conclusion needs to be verified by further conducting high quality randomized controlled trials with large sample-size.
Objective To observe the correlation between homocysteine (Hcy) and serum uric acid (SUA) and retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), preliminary study on its predictive value. MethodsA retrospective study. From January 2020 to March 2021, a total of 324 T2DM patients hospitalized in Department of Endocrinology, Cangzhou Central Hospital of Hebei Province were included. Fasting blood glucose (FBG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), Hcy, SUA, peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPC), circulating endothelial cells (CEC) were counted and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated. According to the absence or presence of diabetic retinopathy (DR), the patients were divided into non DR (NDR) group and DR group with 100 and 214 cases, respectively. Clinical data and laboratory biochemical indexes of the two groups were compared and observed. The logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for DR in T2DM patients. Smooth curve fitting was used to analyze the curve relationship between Hcy, SUA and DR, and ROC area (AUC) of Hcy, SUA; their combined prediction of DR in T2DM patients was calculated by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), and the predictive value of Hcy and SUA for DR in T2DM patients was evaluated. ResultsDiabetic course (t=5.380), systolic blood pressure (t=2.935), hypertension (χ2=10.248), diabetic nephropathy (χ2=9.515), diabetic peripheral neuropathy (χ2=24.501), FBG (t=3.945), HbA1C (t=3.336) and TG in DR Group (t=2.898), LDL-C (t=3.986), Scr (t=2.139), SUA (t=7.138), HOMA-IR (t=3.237), BUN (t=3.609), Hcy (t=2.363) and CEC (t=19.396) were significantly higher than those in NDR group. The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). EPC (t=9.563) and CPC (t=7.684) levels were significantly lower than those of NDR group, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes course, SBP, hypertension, FBG, HbA1C, LDL-C, SUA, Hcy, EPC, CPC and CEC were all independent risk factors for developing DR in T2DM patients (P＜0.05). The smooth curve fitting analysis showed that Hcy and SUA were positively correlated with the occurrence of DR. After adjusting for confounding factors, when Hcy≥15 μmol/L, the risk of DR Increased by 14% for every 1 μmol/L increase in Hcy [odds ratio (OR)=0.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.88-0.98, P＜0.05]. When Hcy＜15 μmol/L, there was no significant difference (OR=0.96, 95%CI 0.92-1.08, P＞0.05). When SUA≥304 μmol/L, the risk of DR increased by 17%, every 20 μmol/L SUA increased (OR=0.80, 95%CI 0.68-0.94, P＜0.05). When SUA＜304 μmol/L, the difference was not statistically significant (OR=0.83, 95%CI 0.72-0.95, P＞0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the AUC values of Hcy, SUA and Hcy combined with SUA in predicting the occurrence of DR in T2DM patients were 0.775 (95%CI 0.713-0.837, P＜0.001), 0.757 (95%CI 0.680-0.834, P＜0.001) and 0.827 (95%CI 0.786-0.868, P＜0.001). Hcy combined with SUA showed better predictive efficiency. ConclusionsThe abnormal increase of Hcy and SUA levels in T2DM patients are closely related to the occurrence of DR, they are independent risk factors for the occurrence of DR. Hcy combined with SUA has high predictive value for the occurrence of DR.
Objective To compare the condition of the structure and oxidative stress of great saphenous vein grafts between the patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to study the mechanisms for providing the theory evidence ofthe protective way for great saphenous vein graft in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods The segments of human great saphenous vein graft were collected from 36 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery, who were divided into 2 groups, experimental group (17 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus) and control group (19 patients without type 2 diabetes mell itus). There was no significant difference in age, gender, hypertension, serum creatinine, hyperl ipidemia, smoking, and the number of pathological coronary arteries between 2 groups (P gt; 0.05). Two cm distal great saphenous vein from each patient was obtained. The structure of great saphenous vein was observed by the microscope, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase enzymatic activity and superoxide anion level were quantified by lucigenin-enhanced chemilumi nescence. Results The NADPH oxidase activity and superoxide anion levels were significantly higher in experimental group [(308.8 ± 33.7) counts/μg and (1 951.71 ± 355.2) counts/(min.mg)] than in control group [(202.7 ± 29.5) counts/μg and (1 230.73 ± 340.5) counts/(min.mg)] (P lt; 0.05). HE staining showed the damage of ultrastructure of great saphenous vein endothel ium in experimental group, including necrosis and exfol iation of endoepithel ial cells, spl itting of the basement membrane, thickened lower layer of the endothelium with vacuoles and deformed vascular smooth muscle cells; however, integrated vessel intima was observed in control group.
ObjectiveTo observe the influence and interaction of duodenal jejunal bypass (DJB) and hepatic branch of vagus on glucose metabolism, and fasting serum glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY) in non-obese rat with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MethodsForty non-obese Wistar rats (GK) with T2DM were randomly divided into four groups: sham operation group (SO group), sham operation plus hepatic branch of vagus resection (HBVR) group (SO+HBVR group), DJB group, and DJB+ HBVR group. The changes of preoperative and postoperative body weight, fasting blood glucose level, fasting serum insulin level, fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents among four groups were observed. ResultsIn the DJB group, the postoperative body weight and fasting blood glucose level were decreased significantly (P < 0.05) and the fasting insulin level, fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents were increased significantly (P < 0.05) as compared with the preoperative corresponding values in the same group, and it was found that the hepatic branch of vagus could more lastingly maintain postoperative lower body weight (P < 0.05), improve the level of insulin (P < 0.05), increase the fasting serum GLP-1 and PYY contents (P < 0.05) as compared with the DJB+HBVR group. ConclusionDJB could improve glucose metabolism effect of GK rats, the hepatic branch of vagus might play a role in it, too.
Objectives To summarize the regulation of glucagon-like peptide-1（GLP-1） level by metabolism of gastrointestinal nutrients. Methods Domestic and international publications online involving regulation of GLP-1 level by metabolism of gastrointestinal nutrients in recent years were collected and reviewed. Results GLP-1 influenced insulin secretion and sensitivity， and played a leading role in recovery of glucose metabolism. Metabolism of gastrointestinal nutrients regulated GLP-1 level. Studies had shown that GLP-1 was a candidate mediator of the effects of gastric bypass （GBP） for type 2 diabetes mellitus（T2DM）. Conclusions It plays an important role in anti-T2DM effects of GBP that metabolism of gastrointestinal nutrients regulated GLP-1 level. The corresponding studies can provide a novel clinical field to treat T2DM.
