Association of Thyroid Function With the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate in a Large Chinese Euthyroid Population.

Background/aims: We aimed to explore whether thyroid function within a normal range is associated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a large Chinese population.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study that included 10,859 euthyroid individuals who underwent an annual regular health checkup in Jiangsu Province Official Hospital between August 2012 and August 2013. We measured the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels using a Roche modular analytics E170 and then calculated the eGFR using the Chinese modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (CMDRD) equation.

Serum uric acid to creatinine ratio correlates with β-cell function in type 2 diabetes.

Background: The correlation between serum uric acid (SUA) and β-cell function remains controversial. The present study aims to use a new index, renal function-normalized SUA, to observe its correlation with β-cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods: A total of 713 patients with T2DM received standard 75-g oral glucose tolerance and insulin release test.

Serum uric acid to creatinine ratio: A predictor of incident chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with preserved kidney function.

Background: Serum uric acid has shown to be a predictor of renal disease progression in most but not all studies. This study aims to test whether renal function-normalized serum uric acid is superior to serum uric acid as the predictor of incident chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.

Methods: In this study, 1339 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate ⩾60 mL/min/1.

Lack of association between anemia and renal disease progression in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Aims/introduction: Anemia has a close interaction with renal dysfunction in diabetes patients. More proof is still awaited on the relationship between anemia and the progression of renal disease in this population.

Materials And Methods: In the present longitudinal study, 1,645 Chinese type 2 diabetes patients without end-stage renal disease were included in the analysis in Nanjing, China, during January 2006 and December 2012.

Evaluation of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Chinese communities: a cross-sectional study.

This study aimed to evaluate the glycemic levels in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and to explore the factors related to the results of glycemic control. A total of 2454 T2DM patients from 11 communities were examined for glycosylated hemoglobin levels and glycemic control options. Potential factors related to the results of glycemic control were analyzed using logistic regression.

[Influence of electroacupuncture intervention on serum ghrelin content and bone mineral density in ovariectomized rats].

Objective: To observe the influence of electroacupuncture (EA) on serum ghrelin content and bone mineral density in ovariectomized (OVX) rats so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Methods: Thirty ovariectomized SD rats with osteoporosis were randomized into model, EA and estrogen groups (n = 10) and other 10 rats received sham operation were assigned to be control group. For OVX rats of the EA group, EA (2 Hz, 1-3 mA) was applied to "Sanyinjiao" (SP 6) + "Guanyuan" (CV 4) or "Shenshu" (BL 23) + "Housanli" (ST 36), alternately for 20 min, once daily for consecutive 3 months.

Chronic kidney disease and associated cardiovascular risk factors in chinese with type 2 diabetes.
