Dose–response association between the triglycerides: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and type 2 diabetes mellitus risk: The rural Chinese cohort study and meta-analysis
甘油三酯:高密度脂蛋白胆固醇比值和2型糖尿病风险之间的剂量反应关系:中国农村人群队列和meta分析

  • Pages: 183-192
  • First Published: 09 August 2018

Highlights

  • This is the first prospective cohort study in rural Chinese people and the first meta-analysis to quantify the dose–response association between the triglycerides:  high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio and T2DM risk.
  • The TG/HDL-C ratio was an independent risk factor for T2DM, with a high TG/HDL-C ratio linearly increasing the risk of T2DM incidence, especially for females.
  • For individuals with a 1-unit increment in the TG/HDL-C ratio, the risk of T2DM increased 28%.

Sweet fish: Fish models for the study of hyperglycemia and diabetes
可爱的鱼儿:研究高血糖和糖尿病的鱼类模型

  • Pages: 193-203
  • First Published: 28 September 2018

Highlights

  • Different fish species are becoming increasingly attractive as models for the study of hyperglycemia and diabetes due to the ease of generating and maintaining large numbers of animals.
  • Some fish species exhibit unique physiological and evolutionary features that could be used to gain further insights into vertebrate glucose homeostasis and dysregulation.

Safety and efficacy of zotarolimus-eluting stents in the treatment of diabetic coronary lesions in Chinese patients: The RESOLUTE-DIABETES CHINA Study佐他莫司药物洗脱支架治疗中国糖尿病人群冠状动脉病变的安全性和有效性研究: RESOLUTE-DIABETES CHINA研究

  • Pages: 204-213
  • First Published: 02 August 2018

Highlights

  • Zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) demonstrated good performance in the Chinese diabetic population.
  • This single-arm study with a performance goal design revealed an acceptable rate of events, including cardiac death, revascularization and stent thrombosis, in Chinese diabetic patients receiving ZES.
  • Moreover, ZES may have further utility in patients with poor glucose control, complex lesions, and unfavorable clinical features.

Sleep questionnaires for the screening of obstructive sleep apnea in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with non-diabetic patients
在2型糖尿病患者与非糖尿病患者中使用睡眠问卷筛查阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停

  • Pages: 214-222
  • First Published: 07 August 2018

Highlights

  • Sleep questionnaires were found to have similar predictive performance in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), regardless from the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
  • STOP-Bang and Berlin questionnaires had the highest sensitivities in both groups.
  • The Epworth Sleepiness Scale had the highest specificity in diabetics, and the STOP and STOP-Bang questionnaires had the highest specificity in those without diabetes.
  • Diabetic women with OSA reported more insomnia-like symptoms.

Effect of pioglitazone on bone mineral density in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis: A 36-month clinical trial吡格列酮对非酒精性脂肪性肝炎患者骨密度的影响:一项为期36个月的临床试验

  • Pages: 223-231
  • First Published: 03 August 2018

Highlights

  • Treatment with pioglitazone was associated with a significant reduction in spine bone mineral density (BMD) in a cohort of patients predominantly composed of male individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
  • These findings are likely to assist clinicians and patients make an informed decision about the benefits versus risks of long-term pioglitazone treatment.

Association between cigarette smoking and diabetes mellitus using two different smoking stratifications in 145 040 Korean individuals: Self-reported questionnaire and urine cotinine concentrations
在145040名韩国人群中使用两种不同的吸烟分层方法研究吸烟与糖尿病之间的关系:自我报告的问卷与尿液可替宁浓度之间的关系

  • Pages: 232-241
  • First Published: 09 August 2018

Highlights

  • Overall diabetes prevalence was higher in self-reported and cotinine-verified current smokers than self-reported and cotinine-verified never smokers.
  • Cotinine-verified current smoking, self-reported former smoking, current smoking, and “unobserved” smoking were associated with increased diabetes prevalence than cotinine-verified and self-reported never smoking, without any significant sex interactions.
  • Cotinine may provide additional information when assessing cardiometabolic risks.

Population attributable fractions of the main type 2 diabetes mellitus risk factors in women: Findings from the French E3N cohort
女性2型糖尿病主要危险因素的人群归因分数:法国E3N队列研究结果

  • Pages: 242-253
  • First Published: 11 August 2018

Highlights

  • If all the women from the E3N study had followed a healthy lifestyle, 57% of cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cases could have been prevented.
  • This study helps sort out and quantify the effects of various dietary and biological T2DM risk factors, and highlights the importance of a healthy lifestyle for primary prevention.
  • Clinicians could use these results to explain to their patients how lifestyle changes can directly affect their risks of developing T2DM.
