Uric acid is an independent factor associated with endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria by XIE Chao, TIAN Jie, LIANG Min, YE Pei-yi, KONG Yao-zhong

“…Objective To study the relationship between uric acid and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients with or without microalbuminuria.Methods From March 2010 to May 2011,we recruited 149 cases of type 2 diabetic mellitus without macrovascular disease from3 affiliated hospitals of Southern Medical University（Nanfang hospital,Jiangdu hospital,Zhujiang hospital）.Patients were divided into two groups in term of the 24-h urinary microalbumin excretion rate:112 patients with 24-h urinary microalbumin excretion rateless than 30 mg was the DN（-）group,and37 patients with24-h urinary microalbumin excretion rate between30 mg and 300 mg was the DN（+）group.49 age-and gender-matched healthy people served as the control group.The demographic indexes,biochemical indexes,and the marker of endothelial dysfunction:soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule 1（sVCAM-1）were analyzed.Results Serum uric acid in DN（+）group was much higher than the other two group[DN（+）vsDN（-）vs health control=（370.3±116.1）μmol/L vs（334.2±100.0）μmol/L vs（324.5±63.7）μmol/L,P=0.083],sVCAM-1 level was significantly higher in DN（+）group than the other two groups[DN（+）vs DN（-）vs health control=（519.4±130.9）ng/ml vs（466.2±108.7）ng/ml vs（435.5±70.3）ng/ml,P=0.002],Multivariate regression analysis showed that serum uric acid was the only independent factor positively correlated to sVCAM-1 in DN（+）group（β=0.35,P=0.044）,but this relationship was not significant in DN（-）group（β=0.052,P=0.593）.Conclusions Serum uric acid was significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients with microalbuminuria than that in healthy people,and significantly correlated to endothelial dysfunction,but this relationship was not significant in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients without microalbuminuria,suggesting that we should more strictly control of the uric acid level in type 2 diabetes patients with microalbuminuria.…”

Association of serum chemerin,tumor necrosis factor-α and type 2 diabetic kidney disease by WU Meng-shui, NING Cui-li, LIU Kuan-zhi

“…Objective To examine the level of serum chemerin and TNF-α in different stages of type 2 diabetic kidney disease(DKD) patients and explore the pathogenesis of DKD.Methods Fortyfive normal subjects(NC group) and 133 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) were enrolled in this study.The T2DM patients were divivded into three subgroups:simple T2DM(SDM) group(n= 47),microalbuminuria(mic-DKD) group(n = 41) and macroalbuminuria(mac-DKD) group(n=45) according to the urinary albumin creatinine ratio.The levels of serum chemerin and TNF-α were determined by ELISA.Logistic regession model was used to analyze the risk factors of DKD.Results Serum chemerin concentration and serum TNF-α concentration in NC group,SDM group,mic-DKD group and mac-DKD group were(34.14 ± 7.54),(38.23 ± 5.48),(42.69 ± 8.05) and(47.32 ±9.11) ng/ml,and(103.99 ± 20.43),(134.42 ± 27.31),(165.48 ± 32.63) and(227.53 ± 58.31)ng/L,respectively.The levels of chemerin and TNF-α were increased gradually from NC group,SDM group,mic-DKD group to mac-DKD group with the difference being statistically significant between each two groups(all P<0.05).The serum chemerin was positively correlative with TNF-α,hs-CRP,HbAlc,SCr and duration,but negatively correlated with HDL-G The serum TNF-α was positively correlated with urinary ACR,HbAlc,hs-CRP,SCr,LDL-C and duration,but negatively correlated with HDL-G Logistic regression analysis revealed that chemerin,TNF-α,WBC,age,HbAlc,lower HDL-C and hypertension were independent risk factors of DKD.Conclusions Chemerin and TNF-α were involved in the pathogenesis of DKD,and their levels may reflect a degree of severity for DKD.…”
