2型糖尿病大血管病变患者血清趋化素与hs-CRP的相关性

目的:观察2型糖尿病(type2 diabetes mellitus,T2DM)大血管病变患者血清趋化素(chemerin)和超敏C-反应蛋白(high-sensitivity C-reactive protein,hs-CRP)的水平及其相关性。方法:选择我院2013年4月至2015年4月收治的T2DM患者60例,根据患者血管病变情况分为糖尿病大血管病变组和单纯糖尿病组,每组30例。另选择同期来我院体检的健康志愿者30例作为对照组。检测三组血清chemerin和hs-CRP水平并分析。结果:糖尿病大血管病变组和单纯糖尿病组血清chemerin和hs-CRP水平均显著高于对照组(P0.05);糖尿病大血管病变组血清chemerin和hs-CRP水平均显著高于单纯糖尿病组(P0.05);糖尿病大血管病变组血清chemerin与hs-CRP呈正相关(r=0.451,P0.05)。结论:T2DM大血管病变患者血清chemerin水平显著增高,血清chemerin水平与炎症指标hs-CRP存在正相关,chemerin可能通过介导炎症在T2DM大血管病变过程中发挥作用。     

2型糖尿病患者血清MCP-1与下肢大血管病变的相关性

目的:讨论2型糖尿病(T2DM)患者血清单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(monocyte chemoattractant protein-1;MCP-1)与下肢大血管病变的相关性。方法:(1)2型糖尿病患者61例,根据是否合并下肢大血管病变,分成无下肢大血管病变组(30例)、合并下肢大血管病变组(31例)与正常对照组(20例)对比,用双抗体夹心ELISA法测出血清MCP-1,比较组间血清MCP-1水平的异常。(2)测出各组甘油三酯、胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白、高密度脂蛋白、空腹血糖、糖化血红蛋白、纤维蛋白原等水平,分析各指标和2型糖尿病大血管病变的相关性。结果:(1)2型糖尿病组血清MCP-1水平明显高于正常对照组(P<0.05),合并下肢大血管病变组血清MCP-1水平明显高于无下肢大血管病变组和正常对照组(P<0.05),(2)以T2DM组为整体,有无下肢大血管病变为因变量Y(有=1,无=0),用MCP-1等其它危险因素为自变量,Logstic回归分析,病程、收缩压和MCP-1入回归方程。结论:MCP-1可能是T2DM下肢大血管病变的一个重要的独立危险因素。     

Chemerin及ChemR23与糖尿病大血管病变

Chemerin是2007年新确认的一种脂肪因子,其主要功能受体为ChemR23。近期研究发现chemerin可能是联系肥胖、糖尿病及动脉粥样硬化的潜在因子,有望为糖尿病及其血管并发症的预防及治疗提供新的靶点。然而,chemerin及其受体ChemR23参与糖尿病及其大血管病变的具体机制尚不明确。本文将就目前研究中chemerin及其受体ChemR23与糖尿病及其大血管病变的关系作一综述,并从免疫及炎症反应、氧化应激、自噬、糖脂代谢和胰岛素抵抗等方面,分析chemerin分别对巨噬细胞、血管内皮细胞、脂肪细胞及骨骼肌细胞的影响,从而进一步阐述chemerin及其受体ChemR23参与糖尿病及其大血管病变的具体生物学机制。     

A new En face method is useful to quantitate endothelial damage in vivo

Endothelial damage is considered to be an initial change in the atherosclerotic process. However, it has been difficult to detect this initial change in vivo. We established a modified En face immunostaining method that enabled us to obtain clear images of the entire endothelial surface, including at arterial bifurcations, and to quantitate the number of cells of interest in the endothelium. Using this method, we found that treatment with an atherogenic factor, albumin-derived advanced glycosylation end products, for only 2 weeks caused a significant increase in the number of proliferating cell nuclear antigen-positive endothelial cells and the number of macrophages adhering to the endothelium, suggesting that these changes might be relevant to the early events of endothelial dysfunction. In conclusion, the present modified En face immunostaining method may be a promising tool for understanding the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis.
