Published: December 2010

The objective of this study is to explore the mechanism of oxidative stress induced by intermittent high glucose in porcine iliac endothelial cells (PIECs). The PIECs were exposed to intermittent or constant high glucose for 3 or 6 days, and the mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) was measured via intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) captured by flow cytometry. The NADPH oxidase activity was measured by chemiluminescence with lucigenin. Intermittent high glucose induced a greater over-production of ROS than constant high glucose in PIECs; the NADPH oxidase activity was increased under both constant and intermittent high glucose conditions, being more marked in the latter (P < 0.05). In conclusion, intermittent high glucose induced more ROS in PIECs than constant high glucose, this effect seemed to be, at least in part related to the enhanced activation of NADPH oxidase. Glucose fluctuation may be involved in the development of vascular complications.

Clinical Outcomes in A Multi-center Cohort Involving 919 Patients with Hypertriglyceridemia-associated Acute Pancreatitis.

Am J Gastroenterol

Center for Biomarker Discovery and Validation, National Infrastructures for Translational Medicine (PUMCH), Institute of Clinical Medicine, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing, China.

Objectives: Hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) is one of the most common etiologies of acute pancreatitis (AP) worldwide. Compared to other etiologies, patients with HTG-AP may develop more severe AP, but previous studies yielded controversial conclusion due to the lack of adequate adjustment for the confounders. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the possibility and risk factors of developing severe AP in HTG-AP.

Prediabetes and atrial fibrillation risk stratification, phenotyping, and possible reversal to normoglycemia.

Patients admitted with prediabetes and atrial fibrillation are at high risk for major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events independent of confounding variables. The shared pathophysiology between these three serious but common diseases and their association with atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors establish a vicious circle culminating in high atherogenicity. Because of that, it is of paramount importance to perform risk stratification of patients with prediabetes to define phenotypes that benefit from various interventions.
