ObjectiveTo compare the effect of ileal transposition (IT) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP) on blood glucose and expression of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats with non-obese type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MethodsThirty male GK rats were randomized divided into three groups:IT group (n=10), RYGBP group (n=10), and Sham group (n=10). The mortality and complication were observed after surgery. The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and GLP-1 were determined before operation, and 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months after operation in the GK rats of 3 groups. Results① Mortality and morbility. There was no death and complication occurred in IT group and Sham group, only 5 rats of RYGBP group suffered from complication, and 2 of them died. The mortality and morbility were higher in RYGBP group than those of IT group and Sham group (P < 0.05). ② FBG. Compared with before operation in the same group, the FBG levels of IT group and RYGBP group in 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months after operation were all lower (P < 0.05). In 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months after operation, FBG levels of IT group and RYGBP group were all lower than those of Sham group at the same time point (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between IT group and RYGBP group at the 6 time points (P > 0.05). ③ FINS and HbA1c. Compared with before operation in the same group, the FINS levels of IT group and RYGBP group in 3 months and 6 months after operation were higher than those of Sham group (P < 0.05), HbA1c levels of IT group and RYGBP group were both lower at the 2 time points (P < 0.05). In 3 months and 6 months after operation, FINS levels of IT group and RYGBP group were both higher, and HbA1c levels were both lower than corresponding indexes of Sham group at the same time point (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between IT group and RYGBP group at the 2 time points (P > 0.05). ④ GLP-1. Compared with before operation in the same group, the GLP-1 levels of IT group and RYGBP group in 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months after operation were all higher (P < 0.05). In 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, and 6 months after operation, GLP-1 levels of IT group and RYGBP group were both higher than those of Sham group at the same time point (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between IT group and RYGBP group at the 6 time points (P > 0.05). ConclusionIT and RYGBP have a significant hypoglycemic effect on non-obese T2DM GK rats, but IT has lower mortality and morbility, which is more effective and safer, comparing with RYGBP.
Obesity is a chronic metabolic disease driven by multiple factors such as genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, and neuroendocrine system disorders. In recent years, the prevalence of obesity in China has been increasing year by year, and a series of obesity-induced diseases are a serious threat to public health. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, as a representative of the new weight loss drugs, have shown a therapeutic effect close to that of weight-loss metabolic surgery in clinical trials by targeting central appetite and metabolism and other synergistic effects, but they still face key problems such as significant differences in individual efficacy, limited evidence of the safety of long-term treatment, and regaining body weight after discontinuation of the drug. The mechanism of action and clinical evidence of several obesity drugs approved and listed in China are summarized, and the progress and challenges of obesity drug therapy in China in combination with recent advances in the development of multi-target agents internationally are discussed, with a view to providing a scientific basis for the clinical drug management of obesity and providing ideas for the research and development of obesity drugs in China as well as for the clinical transformation.
Objective To investigate and analyze the relationships among glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level, chronic inflammation, and atherosclerosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods From October 2016 to February 2017, using cross-sectional investigation, the GLP-1 level, chronic inflammation, and atherosclerosis were investigated in 80 subjects (40 NAFLD patients in NAFLD group, and 40 non-fatty liver disease participants in control group) who underwent physical examination at Xi’an Road Community Hospital. Results Compared with those in the control group, GLP-1 fasting level in patients with NAFLD [(9.09±1.03) vs. (9.15±1.06) pmol/L, P=0.807] and postprandial plasma GLP-1 [(15.96±3.37) vs. (17.46±4.76) pmol/L, P=0.108] had no changes. The correlations of GLP-1 level with chronic inflammation and insulin resistance (IR) were not significant either. The increased risk of carotid intima-media thickness related cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the NAFLD group was greater than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [22 (55.0%)vs.13 (32.5%), P=0.043]. When the plasma lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 level increased, the risk of NAFLD increased [odd ratio (OR)=1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.02, 1.32), P=0.023]. Plasma ceramide kinase (CERK) in the NAFLD group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant [(12.36±2.45) vs. (18.33±3.71) ng/mL, P<0.001]. When the plasma CERK level of the fasting plasma was elevated, the risk of NAFLD decreased [OR=0.30, 95%CI (0.12, 0.78), P=0.014]. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in the NAFLD group was higher than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (2.46±2.53 vs. 1.11±0.66, P=0.002). The Matsuda index in the NAFLD group was less than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (5.88±4.09 vs. 10.46±7.90, P=0.002). When HOMA-IR increased, the risk of NAFLD increased [OR=2.75, 95%CI (2.49, 3.12), P=0.036]. Conclusions Plasma GLP-1 level is not a sensitive indicator of chronic inflammation and IR in patients with NAFLD. Patients with NAFLD are in an increased risk of atherosclerosis and CVD. It suggests that NAFLD might be involved in chronic inflammation and IR. Chronic inflammation can cause IR, and then chronic inflammation and IR can cause NAFLD and subclinical atherosclerosis. In return for this, NAFLD increases chronic inflammation and IR.
Objective To assess the influence of different digestive tract reconstruction on the blood glucose of gastric antral cancer patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods The clinical data of 51 cases of gastric antral cancer with type 2 diabetes treated radical surgery in this hospital from January 2006 to January 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into three groups according to the different digestive tract reconstruction methods：BillrothⅠ anastomosis group （n=14）， BillrothⅡ anastomosis group （n=28）， and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group （n=9）. The indexes were analyzed and compared among three groups：① The levels of fast blood glucose （FBG） and 2h postprandial blood glucose （PG2h） were detected before operation and on 1 month and 6 months after the operation；② The level of glycated hemoglobin （HbA1c） was detected before operation and 6 months after the operation；③ The diabetes control was observed. Results The FBG and PG2h levels in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group detected on 1 month and 6 months after the operation were not statistically different from those detected before the operation （P＞0.05）. The FBG and PG2h levels in the BillrothⅡanastomosis group and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group detected on 1 month and 6 months after the operation were significantly lower than those before the operation respectively （P＜0.05）. The FBG and PG2h levels in the BillrothⅡ anastomosis group detected on 1 month and 6 months after the operation were not statistically different from those in the Roux-en-Y anastomosis group respectively （P＞0.05）， but which were markedly lower than those in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group， the differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05）. The HbA1c levels in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group detected before the operation and on 6 months after the operation were not statistically different from each other （P＞0.05）. The HbA1c levels in the BillrothⅡ anastomosis group and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group detected on 6 months after the operation were markedly lower than those before the operation and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. On 6 months after the operation， the HbA1c levels in the BillrothⅡanastomosis group and Roux-en-Y anastomosis group were markedly lower than those in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group and the differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05）；the HbA1c level was not statistically different between the BillrothⅡ anastomosis group and the Roux-en-Y anastomosis group （P＞0.05）. The total curative effects in the BillrothⅡ anastomosis and Roux-en-Y anastomosis groups were significantly better than those in the BillrothⅠ anastomosis group （P＜0.05）. Conclusion According to our limited clinical data， BillrothⅡ anastomosis and Roux-en-Y anastomosis for gastric antral cancer patients with type 2 diabetes may be the best surgical approach.
ObjectiveTo explore the levels of serum glucose and insulin secretion function in people with different educational background of normal glucose tolerance and to investigate its relationship with educational levels. MethodsWe had telephone connections with normal fast glucose people who did health examination from January 2007 to January 2011, then the 75 g oral glucose tolerance test was performed and the level of insulin were measured. A total of 340 people with normal glucose tolerance who completed our examination and answered a questionnaire on lifestyle were included in our study. They were divided into three groups according to their educational levels. The levels of plasma glucose and insulin were measured in 92 high educational level participants, 68 middle educational level participants and 70 low educational level participants. We calculated homevstasis model assessment (HOMA)-S, HOMA-IR, and HOMA-β and compared differences between the three groups. ResultsWith the decline of educational levels, fasting plasma glucose, body mass index (BMI), fasting insulin, postprandial insulin, HOMA-β, and HOMA-IR gradually increased, while HOMA-S gradually decreased. The level of BMI, fasting insulin and HOMA-IR in high educational level group were significantly lower than those in low educational level group. The level of BMI, HOMA-IR in middle educational level group were significantly lower than those in low educational level group (P<0.05). Correlation analysis indicated that level of fasting plasma glucose was related to age, BMI, and educational levels. ConclusionWith the decline of educational levels, BMI and HOMA-IR increase, and HOMA-S decreases, which indicates that they already have differences in glucose metabolism and insulin secretion function in people with normal glucose tolerance, presaging that in the future the proportion of development of diabetes in the low educational level may increase.
Objective To investigate the correlation between cervical Modic change (MC) and blood lipid and glucose levels. Methods Patients hospitalized with neck and shoulder pain in the Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College between January 2015 and January 2021 were selected and divided into MC group and non-MC group according to whether the signal changes of cervical vertebral endplate occurred on MRI. The general data (age, gender, smoking history, drinking history), blood lipid indicators (high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, lipoprotein a, total cholesterol, triglyceride) and blood glucose indicators (glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose) were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the correlation between MC and various indicators. Results A total of 160 patients were included, including 48 patients in MC group and 112 patients in non-MC group. The age [(61.46±12.10) vs. (56.22±10.65) years], total cholesterol [(5.06±1.17) vs. (4.44±1.31) mmol/L], triglyceride [(1.61±0.64) vs. (1.38±0.58) mmol/L], glycosylated hemoglobin (6.78%±1.27% vs. 5.79%±0.85%), and fasting blood glucose [(7.84±1.51) vs. (6.93±1.47) mmol/L] of the patients in MC group were significantly higher than those in non-MC group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in gender, smoking ratio, drinking ratio, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein or lipoprotein a between the two groups (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysisshowed that age [odds ratio (OR)=1.064, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.022, 1.109), P=0.003], total cholesterol [OR=1.788, 95%CI (1.187, 2.694), P=0.005], triglyceride [OR=2.624, 95%CI (1.257, 5.479), P=0.010] and glycosylated hemoglobin [OR=4.942, 95%CI (2.446, 9.987), P<0.001] were risk factors of cervical MC. Conclusions Age, total cholesterol, triglyceride and glycosylated hemoglobin are risk factors of cervical MC. Elderly patients with hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia should be alert to the occurrence of cervical MC. Controlling the levels of blood lipid and glucose may reduce the risk of cervical MC.
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.

Methods Thirty-eight children with respiratory infection combined with febrile convulsion and 42 children with single respiratory infection diagnosed between June 2009 and December 2010 were selected as the observation group and control group, respectively. Serum electrolytes and blood glucose concentration were assayed and compared between the two groups. Results The concentrations of serum sodium and chloride were (133.05 ± 1.74) mmol/L and (100.37 ± 1.79) mmol/L in the observation group, while (142.19 ± 1.85) and (104.57 ± 1.55) mmol/L in the control group; the differences between the two groups were significant (Plt;0.01). The concentrations of blood glucose were (6.93 ± 0.87) mmol/L in the observation group and (5.12 ± 0.55)mmol/L in the control group; the difference was significant (Plt;0.01). After the treatment, the serum concentrations of sodium and chloride were (140.89 ± 2.68) and (103.29 ± 1.94)mmol/L in the observation group, which were higher than those before treatment (Plt;0.01). After treatment, the blood glucose concentration was (5.31 ± 0.68）mmol/L in the observation group, which was lower than that before the treatment (Plt;0.01). Conclusion Hyponatremia, low serum chlorine and hyperglycemia occurre in the febrile convulsion in children, which should be corrected in the treatment of febrile convulsion.
The use of non-invasive blood glucose detection techniques can help diabetic patients to alleviate the pain of intrusive detection, reduce the cost of detection, and achieve real-time monitoring and effective control of blood glucose. Given the existing limitations of the minimally invasive or invasive blood glucose detection methods, such as low detection accuracy, high cost and complex operation, and the laser source's wavelength and cost, this paper, based on the non-invasive blood glucose detector developed by the research group, designs a non-invasive blood glucose detection method. It is founded on dual-wavelength near-infrared light diffuse reflection by using the 1 550 nm near-infrared light as measuring light to collect blood glucose information and the 1 310 nm near-infrared light as reference light to remove the effects of water molecules in the blood. Fourteen volunteers were recruited for in vivo experiments using the instrument to verify the effectiveness of the method. The results indicated that 90.27% of the measured values of non-invasive blood glucose were distributed in the region A of Clarke error grid and 9.73% in the region B of Clarke error grid, all meeting clinical requirements. It is also confirmed that the proposed non-invasive blood glucose detection method realizes relatively ideal measurement accuracy and stability.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the effectiveness of breastfeeding duration and intensity in reducing the risk of overweight or obesity among offspring exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia. MethodsThe PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, CBM, WanFang Data, CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect observational studies on the associations of breastfeeding with the risk of overweight or obesity among offspring exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia from inception to September 25th, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Stata 16.0 software was used for the meta-analysis. ResultsA total of 12 657 participants from 13 observational studies were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that breastfeeding could reduce the risk of overweight or obesity among offspring exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia (OR=0.67, 95%CI 0.53 to 0.84, P=0.001). Subgroup analysis revealed a protective effect of breastfeeding for both 1-6 months (OR=0.53, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.75, P<0.001) and ≥6 months (OR=0.56, 95%CI 0.46 to 0.69, P<0.001); however, breastfeeding shorter than one month was suggested to increase the risk of overweight or obesity (OR=2.15, 95%CI 1.41 to 3.27, P<0.001). ConclusionAvailable evidence suggests that breastfeeding for more than one month is effective in reducing the risk of overweight or obesity in offspring exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia, and women with hyperglycemia should be encouraged to breastfeed their offspring for at least 1 month to achieve the effect. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
