Meta AnalysisReplication of association study between type 2 diabetes mellitus and IGF2BP2 in Han Chinese population.
The association between IGF2BP2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been repeatedly confirmed among different ethnic populations. However, in several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) from the Chinese Han population, the gene IGF2BP2 has not been replicated. The results of relevant studies for the association between IGF2BP2 and T2DM showed controversy in Chinese Han population. It is necessary to systematically evaluate the contribution of common variants in IGF2BP2 to T2DM in Chinese Han population. ⋯ IGF2BP2 was strongly associated with the risk of T2DM in Chinese Han population.

ReviewEfficacy and safety of insulin treatment in type 2 diabetes using a new index called glucose safety control index.
To recommend an index named glucose safety control index (GSCI) to evaluate the efficacy and safety for insulin regimens. ⋯ According to the GSCI ratio, long-acting basal insulin therapy tended to be superior to NPH therapy, oral hypoglycemic agents plus basal insulin therapy tended to be superior to premixed insulin therapy, noninsulin antidiabetic agents and premixed insulin therapy was comparable, and basal-bolus insulin therapy tended to be superior to premixed insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes.

Cross-sectional association of serum C-reactive protein and uric acid with albuminuria in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients.
Evidences show that subclinical chronic inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between serum C-reactive protein (CRP), serum uric acid, and albuminuria in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients. ⋯ Elevated serum CRP and increased serum uric acid level were associated with albuminuria in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients. Moreover, CRP and uric acid had an interactive effect on albuminuria.

Dynesys dynamic stabilization system for the lumbar degenerative disease: a preliminary report from China.
Dynesys dynamic stabilization system was first implanted in patients in 1994, and introduced to China in 2007. Therefore, it was a new technique for Chinese orthopedics and hence necessary to collect clinical data about Dynesys in China. The objective of this study was to report the preliminary results of Dynesys for the lumbar degenerative disease in China. ⋯ The preliminary results of Dynesys for the lumbar degenerative disease in China are similar to the published results of other countries. It can significantly improve the clinic symptoms and preserved motion at the level of implantation. However, the long-term follow-up data need to be collected.
