Relationship between waist circumference and elevation of carotid intima-media thickness in newly-diagnosed diabetic patients.

Objective: Waist circumference, as a brief indicator of visceral obesity, is associated with multi-metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. The present study was aimed to find out the relationship between waist circumference and carotid intima media thickness (C-IMT), as well as the best waist circumference cutoff for identifying C-IMT elevation in Chinese male patients with newly-diagnosed diabetes.

Methods: Five hundred and seventy-eight patients from Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism in Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University were enrolled.

[Relationship between glycated albumin level and pancreatic β cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics].

Objective: To explore the relationship between glycated albumin (GA) level and pancreatic β cell function in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetics.

Methods: The subjects sought the confirmation of diabetes diagnosis or underwent diabetes screening tests in high-risk patients from January 2008 to October 2010. All of them underwent 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin releasing test.

Liver enzymes concentrations are closely related to prediabetes: findings of the Shanghai Diabetes Study II (SHDS II).

Objective: To investigate the relationship of liver enzymes with hyperglycemia in a large population in Shanghai and identify the association between liver enzymes and insulin resistance.

Methods: A total of 3 756 participants were enrolled. Each participant underwent an oral glucose tolerance test and completed a questionnaire.

[Combined utility of hemoglobin A1c and glycated albumin in diabetic screening].

Objective: To assess the validity of combined detection of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) in diabetic screening.

Methods: A total of 1480 subjects at our out-patient department from March 2007 to December 2009. Those suspected of diabetes or at a high risk of diabetes were enrolled.

Combined assessment of glycated albumin and fasting plasma glucose improves the detection of diabetes in Chinese subjects.

1. The aim of the present study was to assess the validity of glycated albumin (GA) and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) as a screening tool for the early detection of diabetes in Chinese subjects. 2.

Characteristics of obesity and its related disorders in China.

Obesity is a medical condition with excess body fat accumulation to the extent which leads to serious health consequences. Abdominal obesity, also known as central obesity, refers to the presence of excess fat in the abdominal area. Obesity, especially abdominal obesity, contributes to many metabolic disorders including metabolic syndrome (MetS), type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

[Relation between the level of serum CA19-9 and glucose control in inpatients with diabetes].

Objective: To investigate the effect of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) on serum CA199 in diabetic patients.

Methods: 29 NGT matched control subjects and 371 hospitalized diabetic patients were enrolled. Diabetic patients were divided into satisfactory group (< 6.

[Glycated albumin level and its influential factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus].

Objective: To provide evidence for assessing glycated albumin (GA) appropriately cliniccally through determining the GA level of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and analyzing its influential factors.

Method: Continuous glucose monitor system was used to monitor the levels of fasting plasmic glucose (FPG), 2-hour post-prandial plasmic glucose (2hPG), GA, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in 445 type 2 DM in-patients.

Results: (1) The mean GA value was 24.

[Study on prevalence and risk factors of fatty liver of patients with type 2 diabetes].

Objective: To study the prevalence and risk factors of nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods: A total of 1335 patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into NAFL group and control group according to type B ultrasonic tomography results.

Results: (1) The prevalence of NAFL in type 2 diabetic patients was 42.
