Association of Chronic Kidney Disease with Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke Risks in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: An Observational Cross-sectional Study in Hangzhou, China.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the association between CKD and CVD risk in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in China has not yet been well investigated. This study aimed to determine the association of CKD with the risks of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in a Chinese population with T2DM.

[Effects of berberine on adiponectin mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte].

Objective: To explore the effects of berberine and insulin on adiponectin mRNA expression in 3T3-L1 adipocyte.

Method: The 3T3-L1 adipocyte was treated with berberine and insulin for 48 hours, the level of adiponectin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte expression was determined with semiquantity RT-PCR using beta-actin as internal reference.

Result: The level of adiponetin mRNA in 3T3-L1 adipocyte was increased after treated with berberine only (P < 0.
