    Objective To explore the risk factors of the type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke.Methods In this retrospective study we enrolled 2099 patients hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Hospital from 2003 to 2010. According to stroke, these patients were divided into two groups, type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke and the ones without stroke. The general state of health and related indicators were compared and the risk factors of type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke were analyzed in this study. Risk factors are slightly different in different gender, we further stratified according to gender, and the risk factors of type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke were analyzed respectively.Results Of the 2099 type 2 diabetic patients, 212 cases(10.1%) with stroke were higher than thosewithout stroke in age, waist-hip ratio, duration of diabetes, fasting insulin, 2 hours postmeal insulin, systolic blood pressure, uric acid, the intima-media thickness of carotid artery and the intima-media thickness of femoral artery. The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The rates of stroke in diabetic patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease were higher than those without the corresponding events(P<0.05). In male, 130 cases(10.9%)with stroke were higher than those without stroke in age, duration of diabetes, fasting insulin, 2 hours postmeal insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, uric acid, systolic blood pressure, the intima-media thickness of carotid artery and the intima-media thickness of femoral artery. The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). In female, 82 cases(9.04%)with stroke were higher than those without stroke in age, waist-hip ratio, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, uric acid, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, the intima-media thickness of carotid artery and the intima-media thickness of femoral artery. The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The rates of stroke in diabetic patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease were higher than those without the corresponding events(P<0.05) in different gender. Logistic regression analysis showed that age(odds ratio, OR 1.067, 95% confidence interval, CI 1.021-1.115, P=0.004), intima-media thickness of femoral artery thickness(OR 1.590, 95%CI 1.041-2.431, P=0.032), systolic blood pressure(OR 1.026, 95%CI 1.008-1.044, P=0.004) and coronary heart disease(OR 2.342, 95%CI 1.081-5.070, P=0.031) were related with type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke.Conclusions The type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke is related with age, waist-hip ratio, duration of diabetes, fasting insulin, 2 hours postmeal insulin, systolic blood pressure and uric acid. The male type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke is related with age, duration of diabetes, fasting insulin, 2 hours postmeal insulin, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, uric acid, systolic blood pressure, the intima-media thickness of carotid artery and the intima-media thickness of femoral artery. The female type 2 diabetic patients complicated with stroke is related with age, waist-hip ratio, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, uric acid, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, the intima-media thickness of carotid artery and the intima-media thickness of femoral artery. Hypertension and coronary heart disease can increase the risk of stroke in male and female patients.

    Objective To observe the characteristics of lower extremity atherosclerosis in diabetic patients and hypertension patients by Lower extremity vascular ultrasound and ankle brachial index(ABI), and to understand the relationship between the incidence and progression of lower extremity atherosclerosis and macrovascular complications.Methods We chose color Doppler ultrasound and ABI to monitor the incidence and characteristics of lower extremity atherosclerosis in diabetic patients(DM), hypertension patients(HT), diabetic patients with hypertension(DM-HT) and patients without diabetes(N-DM) and hypertension(N-HT). Then we collected the data of macrovasular complications in each group.Results The incidence of lower extremity atherosclerosis in DM group and HT group are significantly higher than that in non-diabetes mellitus-non-hypertension group(P<0.01). And the incidence of Lower extremity atherosclerosis in DM group is even higher than that in HT group, particularly in moderate to severe stenosis(82.06%). The incidence of marcovascular complications is closely related to the severity of lower extremity atherosclerosis.Conclusions The severity of lower extremity atherosclerosis is more severe in diabetic patients and hypertension patients. Color Doppler ultrasound and ABI are the easy and efficient ways to monitor the severity of lower extremity atherosclerosis; both of them are closely related to the incidence of macrovascular complincations.

    Objective To investigate the state of abnormal glucose regulation(AGR) in 609 inpatients with the first-ever ischemic stroke(FIS). To comprehend the importance of oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) in the diagnosis of AGR.Methods Inpatients with FIS were enrolled consistently into our study from Aug. 2008 to Nov. 2009, who were hospitalized in Neurology Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital. A total of 609 inpatients with FIS were included in the study. Age, sex, history of diabetes mellitus(DM), blood pressure, biochemical indicators, the score of National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)and Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS) were recorded. After 14±3 days of the patients' onsets, an oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) would be performed to characterize the glucose metabolism status of the inpatients with FIS. The difference was compared in the diagnosis of AGR with the standard of fasting plasma glucose(FPG) and OGTT. A kappa test was done in the two diagnostic criteria of AGR and found the difference between them.Results Among 609 inpatients with FIS, the total numbers of inpatients with history of DM were 120 cases, but there were 143 cases of newly diagnosed of DM, 137 cases of newly diagnosed of impaired glucose regulation(IGR), so the general prevalence of AGR was 65.7%. The prevalenceof DM and IGR was 43.2% and 22.5% respectively. In total, 122 cases of IGR and 95 cases of DM were undiagnosed. If FPG was detected alone, 89.1% IGR and 66.4% newly diagnosed DM would have remained undiagnosed. Considered the criteria of OGTT about AGR as gold standard, a kappa test was done in the diagnostic criteria of FPG compared with that of OGTT, the value of kappa test was 0.226, P>0.05, it had statistically significance and indicated that the concordance of the two diagnostic standards was not good.Conclusion Most of inpatients with FIS have AGR in Beijing, but if the FPG was tested only, many inpatients who had AGR would be underdiagnosed, so it was very important to screen them by OGTT. The standard of OGTT couldn't be replaced by the criteria of FPG on the diagnosis of AGR.

    Objective To explore the prognosis value of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2) for risk of atherothrombosis stroke(AT).Methods A retrospective case-control study was used, and the serum Lp-PLA2 level was assessed in 80 patients which were collected by Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment(TOAST) criteria for AT and 80 controls without history of relevant vascular diseases. Traditional risk factors for AT and risk factors for Lp-PLA2 in all subjects were recorded. The serum Lp-PLA2 level was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The correlation of baseline Lp-PLA2 was analyzed. Then Lp-PLA2 level was further divided into four groups in quartile, and logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were performed.Results Lp-PLA2 level was higher in case group than that in control group, and the difference was statistically significant[(1571.9±57.4)ng/ml vs. (1143.6±262.5)ng/ml, P< 0.001]. Multiple analysis showed that, after adjustment of related risk factors, including gender, systolic pressure and bloodglucose at admission, history of smoking, body mass index and history of stroke, the Lp-PLA2 level in case group was still significantly higher than control group, the difference is significant(odds ratio=1.003, 95%confidence interval=1.001-1.004, P=0.001). Then Lp-PLA2 level was divided into four groups in quartile, logistic regression analysis showed that, elevatedLp-PLA2 level had increased the risk of AT. Before adjustment of related risk factors, the highest quartile of Lp-PLA2 level predicting risk of AT was 20.864 times of that of the lowest quartile (P<0.001). After adjustment of related risk factors, the highest quartile of Lp-PLA2 level predicting risk of AT was 9.200 times of that of the lowest quartile (P=0.003). Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that Lp-PLA2=1531.4 ng/ml can be used as the standard for predicting AT happening, the sensitivity was 48.8% and the specificity was 92.5%, AUC=0.76.Conclusion Lp-PLA2 level is a novel inflammatory indicator that could predict AT happening. A higher Lp-PLA2 level indicates a higher risk of AT. Lp-PLA2≥1531.4 ng/ml has an important role in predicting AT happening.

    Imaging technology and doppler sonography are used for diagnosing the middle cerebral artery(MCA) stenosis. Digital subtract angiography(DSA) has been considered the gold standard for the evaluation of MCA stenosis so far. Transcranial Doppler sonography(TCD) is a convenient noninvasive screening test for the cause of the ischemic cerebrovascular diseases. This article systematically reviewed the applications for diagnosing and grading MCA stenosis, especially in TCD, in order to advance a reasonable check sequence for ischemic cerebrovascular patients.

    Stroke remains a significant public health burden and the leading cause of death and disability of our country. S100B is a protein relevant with the nervous system; it can induce the cell apoptosis of neuron and astrocytes during stroke. In clinical trials, S100B is related to the volume of infarcted tissue and functional outcome of stroke. The biological characteristics of S100B suggest that it can be used as a biomarker of stroke.
