  • Influence of the metabolic syndrome and its components on the condition and prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia

    Objective To explore the effects of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and its components on the condition and prognosis of patients with Severe Pneumonia. Methods 306 patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the intensive care unit of Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2020 to July 2023 were included as study subjects.The patients were divided into MS and non-MS groups according to whether they were combined with MS,and into survival and death groups according to 28-day prognosis,and the general data, laboratory indexes, condition and prognostic indexes of the two groups were compared; multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors for the prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia. ResultsThe levels of test indicators such as body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), blood lactate,white blood cell count(WBC),urea phosphate (Urea), creatinine (SCr),as well as the incidence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), shock,multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), rate of endotracheal intubation and mortality, ICU treatment cost,and total treatment cost of the MS group were significantly higher than those of the non-MS group; the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and oxygenation index (OI) of the MS group were significantly lower than those of the non-MS group (P<0.05).Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of death from severe pneumonia was 1.276 times higher in combined MS than in no combined MS (95%CI: 1.013, 5.114, P=0.047). Subgroup analyses also showed that the risk of death from non-viral severe pneumonia was 2.147 times higher in those with MS than those without (95%CI: 1.175, 8.428, P=0.023). ConclusionSevere pneumonia with MS may be more severe and may have a worse prognosis.

  • Lipid-modifying Therapy for Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of metformin for metabolic syndrome. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, China Biological Medicine Database, VIP, and CMAC up to the year of 2007. Handsearches and additional searches were also conducted. Randomized controlled trials of metformin for metabolic syndrome were included. Two reviewers independently extracted data from eligible studies and evaluated the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed for the results of homogeneous studies by The Cochrane Collaboration’s software RevMan 4.2.9. Results Six trials involving a total of 2442 patients with metabolic syndrome were included. Meta-analysis was not performed due to the apparent heterogeneity. Metformin, compared with placebo, exhibited more favorable effects in reducing the proportion of patients with metabolic syndrome (RR 1.27, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.60), the proportion of patients with low HDL-c (RR 1.61, 95%CI 1.16 to 2.23), wide waist circumference (RR 1.64, 95%CI 1.06 to 2.55), and high FPG (RR 1.55, 95%CI 1.17 to 2.05). Metformin was also more effective in improving FPG and insulin sensitivity. The addition of metformin to atenolol plus nitrendipine was superior to atenolol plus nitrendipine alone in reducing the proportion of patients with high TG (RR 5.57, 95%CI 1.56 to 19.84), abdominal obesity (RR 14.47, 95%CI 3.34 to 62.61), and IGT (RR 16.51, 95%CI 6.06 to 45.0). Compared with low-fat diet therapy, metformin was superior in improving FPG, 2-hour postload plasma glucose, and insulin sensitivity. No differences were observed between metformin and acarbose in the reduction of TG and FPG, but metformin was less effective than acarbose in improving 2-hour postload plasma glucose. No adverse drug reactions were reported. Conclusion  Metformin has beneficial effects in reducing the incidence of high FPG, IGT, and abdominal obesity. It also proved beneficial in reducing the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and increasing insulin sensitivity. The therapeutic effects of metformin on blood pressure, obesity, and lipid profile are uncertain. There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of metformin in the treatment of metabolic syndrome due to low methodological quality, small sample size, and limited number of trials. More high quality, large-scale randomized controlled trials are required.

  • Current status of metabolic syndrome and its influencing factors among physical examination population aged 60 years old and above in Chengdu

    Objective To analyze the current status of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its influencing factors among physical examination population aged 60 years old and above in Chengdu, and to provide evidence for the screening and management of MetS in people aged 60 years old and above. Methods Retrospective analysis of the data of people aged 60 years old and above who participated in physical examination in the North District of the Department of Health Management of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital between January 2018 and December 2020. According to whether the elderly occurred to have MetS, they were divided into MetS group and non-MetS group, to observe the distribution of MetS in different genders and different age groups, and to analyze the influencing factors of MetS by multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 10 335 elderly were enrolled, 2 769 cases (26.79%) in MetS group and 7 566 cases (73.21%) in non-MetS group. Except for gender and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P>0.05), there were significant differences in other general data between the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the detection rate of MetS among different age groups (χ²=64.332, P<0.001). In MetS group, 951 cases (34.34%) of abdominal obesity, 716 cases (25.86%) of high fasting blood glucose (FBG), 1 938 cases (69.99%) of hypertension, 1 011 cases (36.51%) of high triglycerides (TG) and 303 cases (10.94%) of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were detected. Except hypertension and high TG (P>0.05), there were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of abdominal obesity, high FBG and low HDL-C among different genders in MetS (P<0.05). Except hypertension (P<0.05), there was no significant difference in the detection rates of MetS abdominal obesity, high FBG, low HDL-C and high TG in different age groups (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index [odds ratio (OR)=1.055, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.014, 1.097), P=0.008], systolic blood pressure [OR=1.032, 95%CI (1.027, 1.037), P<0.001], diastolic blood pressure [OR=0.992, 95%CI (0.985, 1.000), P=0.049], FBG [OR=1.853, 95%CI (1.764, 1.947), P<0.001], TG [OR=3.787, 95%CI (3.352, 4.278), P<0.001], hemoglobin [OR=0.991, 95%CI (0.986, 0.996), P<0.001], waist circumference [OR=1.158, 95%CI (1.141, 1.175), P<0.001], HDL-C [OR=0.243, 95%CI (0.170, 0.346), P<0.001], total cholesterol [OR=0.615, 95%CI (0.490, 0.773), P<0.001], LDL-C [OR=1.594, 95%CI (1.303, 1.948), P<0.001], and uric acid [OR=1.001, 95%CI (1.000, 1.002), P=0.042] were related to MetS. Conclusions The prevalence of MetS is high among people aged 60 years old and above who undergo physical examination. Routine screening should be carried out during physical examination to take measures to intervene the controllable risk factors, so as to improve the health level of the region.

  • Missed Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome: Analysis of 42 Cases and Literature Review

    Objective To analyze the causes of missed diagnosis of sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome ( SAHS) . Methods 42 missed diagnosed cases with SAHS from May 2009 to May 2011 were retrospectively analyzed and related literatures were reviewed. Results The SAHS patients often visited the doctors for complications of SAHS such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, etc. Clinical misdiagnosis rate was very high. Lack of specific symptoms during the day, complicated morbidities, and insufficient knowledge of SAHS led to the high misdiagnosis rate and the poor treatment effect of patients with SAHS. Conclusion Strengthening the educational propaganda of SAHS, detail medical history collection, and polysomnography monitoring ( PSG) as early as possible can help diagnose SAHS more accurately and reduce missed diagnosis.

  • The relationship between 25-hydroxy vitamin D and metabolic syndrome in non-dialysis patients with stage 3–5 chronic kidney disease

    Objective To explore the relationship between 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] and metabolic syndrome (MS) in non-dialysis patients with stage 3–5 chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Between January 2014 and May 2015, a total of 61 non-dialysis patients with stage 3–5 CKD were included. The patients’ height, weight, blood lipid, levels of 25(OH)D and serum creatinine were conducted. The relationship between 25(OH)D and MS was analyzed. Results The average level of 25(OH)D was (39.99±17.66) nmol/L. Normal level (≥75 mmol/L) of 25(OH)D was observed in 3.3% (2/61) of the patients, insufficiency of 25(OH)D (≥37.5 nmol/L and <75 nmol/L) was observed in 50.8% (31/61), and deficiency (<37.5 nmol/L) was observed in 45.9% (28/61). The prevalence of MS was 67.2% ( 41/61). The body mass index (BMI), proportion of hypertension, proportion of diabetes mellitus, level of triglyceride in the MS group were higher than those in the non-MS group, while the levels of high-density lipoprotein and 25(OH)D were lower in the MS group than those in the non-MS group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The patients’ BMI, proportion of hypertension, level of triglyceride and proportion of MS in the 25(OH)D deficiency group were higher than those in the 25(OH)D non-deficiency group, meanwhile, the level of high-density lopoprotein was lower in the 25(OH)D deficiency group than that in the 25(OH)D non-deficiency group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Serum 25(OH)D level was correlated negatively with BMI (r=–0.35, P=0.006) and the level of triglyceride (r=–0.16, P=0.039), and correlated positively with the level of high-density lipoprotein (r=0.18, P=0.026). Conclusions Low level of 25(OH)D and MS are both of high incidence rate in non-dialysis patients with stage 3–5 CKD. 25(OH)D is associated with MS.

  • A meta-analysis of the comparison of intervention effects of high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training on patients with metabolic syndrome

    Objective To explore the difference of intervention effect between high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Methods China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, PubMed, Web of Science and EBSCO were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) till May 2022. Two reviewers independently reviewed the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included RCTs. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software was used for meta-analysis. Result A total of 5 RCTs were included, including 216 patients. The results of meta-analysis showed that: except fasting blood glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, waist circumference, body mass index and body fat percentage (P>0.005), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [mean difference (MD)=−7.487 mg/dL, 95% confidence interval (CI) (−12.543, −2.431) mg/dL, P=0.004], total cholesterol [MD=−11.487 mg/dL, 95%CI (−16.523, −6.452) mg/dL, P<0.001], triglycerides [MD=−26.296 mg/dL, 95%CI (−50.557, −2.035) mg/dL, P=0.034] and diastolic blood pressure [MD=−2.770 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), 95%CI (−5.131, −0.409) mm Hg, P=0.021] of HIIT were better than MICT. Conclusion In terms of blood glucose indicators and morphological indicators, the effect of HIIT group and MICT group was similar, but the effect of HIIT on blood lipid indicators and blood pressure indicators of patients with MetS was better than MICT.

  • Effects of heat-inactivated Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 on liver lipid metabolism in rats with metabolic syndrome and its possible mechanism

    Objective To explore the effects of heat-inactivated Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 on liver lipid metabolism in rats with metabolic syndrome (MS) and its possible mechanism. Methods Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected. Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, including control group, MS model group and three TMC0356 test groups (low-, medium- and high-dose groups). The rats in each group were fed with different diets for 7 days, and the liver was dissected and removed after 15 weeks. The mRNA and protein expression levels of peroxisome hyperbioactive receptor-α (PPAR-α), sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (REBP-1c), fatty acid synthase (FAS) and carnitine lipoacyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) genes in liver were detected. Results There was no significant difference in the mRNA expression of PPAR-α, SREBP-1c or CPT-1 among the five groups (P>0.05). The mRNA expression of FAS in low-dose TMC0356 test group was lower than that in MS model group (P=0.011), medium-dose TMC0356 test group (P=0.042) and high-dose TMC0356 test group (P=0.009). There was no significant difference in the expression of FAS mRNA between other groups (P>0.05). There was no significant difference in the protein expression of PPAR-α, SREBP-1c or FAS among the five groups (P>0.05). The protein expression of CPT-1 in low-dose TMC0356 test group was higher than that in control group (P=0.033) and high-dose TMC0356 test group (P=0.043). There was no significant difference in the protein expression of CPT-1 between the other groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Heat-inactivated Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 may improve the symptoms of metabolic disorder in rats by suppressing appetite, improving insulin resistance, and downregulating the expression of key fat metabolism genes such as FAS and SREBP-1c.

  • A Systematic Review of Thiazolidinedioes for Metabolic Syndrome

    Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of thiazolidinediones for metabolic syndrome.Methods Up through 2007, we searched The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMbase, the China Biological Medicine Database, VIP and CMAC. We also handsearched relevant literature. Randomized controlled trials about usingthiazolidinedioes to treat metabolic syndrome were included. Two reviewers independently extracted the data from the eligible studies and evaluated the quality of the included studies. Meta-analysis was performed for the results ofhomogeneous studies using RevMan 4.2.9 software. Results Ten randomized control trials involving 1,183 patients with metabolic syndrome met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was not carried out because of apparent heterogeneity. Five trials compared rosiglitazone and placebo, which of single study reported CVD events at the end of 9 month follow-up. The results suggested that no significant differences were found between the two groups in occurrence of CVD events (RR=0.50, 95%CI 0.25 to 1.00), such as myocardial infarction and urgent vessel revascularization after coronary stent implantation, in the patients with metabolic syndrome, while rosiglitazone significantly decreased the proportion of metabolic syndrome (RR=4.0, 95%CI 1.63 to 9.82) and HOMA-index (WMD=-0.80, 95%CI -0.90 to -0.70) as compared with placebo. Pioglitazone did not affect TG, significantly decreased HOMA-index (WMD=0.02, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.03), and increased HDL-c (WMD=0.02, 95%CI 0.01 to 0.03), compared with placebo. Pioglitazone plus glimepirde was better than rosiglitazone plus glimepiride in TG and HDL-c improvement, with no significant differences in improving BP, FPG, PPG, HbA1c, and HOMA-index for both treatments. The combination of rosiglitazone with metformin was similar to pioglitazone-metformin combination in improving FPG, PPG, HbA1c and HOMA-index, whereas pioglitazone plus metformin was superior to rosiglitazone plus metformin in improving TG and HDL-c. No differences between rosiglitazone-metformin combination and glimepirde-metformin combination were observed in improving FPG, PPG, and HbA1c, but rosiglitazone plus metformin significantly lowered HOMA-index and SBP/DBP more than glimepirde plus metformin. The results of included trails revealed that rosiglitazone and pioglitazone had no favorable effects on BMI and WC or resulted in weight gain. The adverse drug reactions for thiazolidinediones were mild to moderate, and well tolerated. Conclusion The results suggest that thiazolidinediones produce positive effects on blood glucose level and insulin sensitivity in the absence of favorable obesity effects or resulting in weight gain. Pioglitazone favorably affects HDL-c. Thiazolidinediones show a certain effect on decreasing the proportion of metabolic syndrome, but the therapeutic effect on BP is uncertain. Overall there is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of thiazolidinediones for metabolic syndrome due to low methodological quality, small sample size, and limited number of trials. More high-quality, largescale randomized controlled trials are required.

  • Relationship between vitamin D level and the incidence of metabolic syndrome in adults in Chengdu city: a prospective cohort study

    Objective To explore the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) level and risk of the onset of metabolic syndrome (MS) in people in Chengdu. Methods In total, 474 participants were selected randomly by cluster sampling from one urban district and two rural villages in Longquanyi district of Chengdu. The data of sociodemographic information, lifestyle and family history were collected by questionnaires. Binary logistic regression was performed to assess the relationship between baseline 25OHD level and incident of MS, while multiple linear regression was conducted to analyze the relationship between baseline 25OHD level and insulin resistance. Results Four hundred seventy-four people were enrolled in the cohort study, 39 of them developed MS, with the incidences of 20.8 events per 1 000 person years. Among women, low 25OHD status was significantly associated with the risk of developing MS (OR=4.29, 95%CI 1.05 to 29.50, P=0.044) after adjustment for multiple potential confounders. In a multiple linear regression analysis, low 25OHD level of baseline was independently associated with the increased HOMA-IR over a 4-year period among Chengdu individuals (P<0.05) and was independently related to the decreased ISIcomp over a 4-year period in female (P<0.05). Conclusions The current prospective study suggests that low 25OHD level may contribute to increase insulin resistance in Chengdu population. Furthermore, low 25OHD level may increase the risk of MS among women in Chengdu.

  • Retrospective analysis of susceptibility factors of magnesium ammonium phosphate stone, carbonate apatite and calcium oxalate stone

    Objective To investigate the differences in characteristics and susceptibility factors between infectious stones and calcium oxalate stones, and provide reference value for screening infectious stones in clinical work. Methods According to the results of analysis of stone components in the extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University between June 2014 and April 2017, 392 patients with infectious stones (including 56 patients with magnesium ammonium phosphate stones in group A and 336 patients with calcium carbonate apatite in group B) and 392 patients with calcium oxalate stone (group C) were selected to discuss the difference of clinical features by retrospectively analyzing the clinical data. Results The proportion of females, the long diameter of stones and the proportion of staghorn stones in group A [75.0%, (3.9±2.5) cm, 41.1%] were higher than those in group B [39.3%, (2.4±1.3) cm, 6.0%], and the proportion of females and the long diameter of stones in group A and B were larger than those in group C [30.1%, (1.9±0.7) cm]; the differences above were statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference among the three groups in surgically history or complicated factors of urinary tract such as ureteral stricture (P>0.05). The prevalences of diabetes, renal tubular acidosis and hyperlipidemia in patients with infectious stones were higher than those in group C. The prevalences of renal tubular acidosis and hyperlipidemia in group A (16.1%, 39.3%) were higher than those in group B (0.6%, 21.1%), the positive rate of urine culture in group A (58.9%) was higher than that in group B (20.5%), which were both higher than that in group C (8.9%); these differences were statistically significant (P<0.017). The bacteria cultured from urine were mainlyProteus mirabilis and Escherichia coli in group A, and Escherichia coli in group B and group C. Conclusion Patients with large volume of stones, complicated with diabetes, renal tubular acidosis, hyperlipidemia and positive urine culture are more likely to have infectious stones.
