There is currently no reported staging system for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here, I attempted to stage type 2 diabetes mellitus in order to help clinicians, patients, and other interested individuals to effectively evaluate patient conditions.
Diabetes is one of costly chronic diseases. Previous studies across several ethnicities have shown that polymorphisms in the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene were strongly associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes (T2DM). In the present study, the association between the TCF7L2 gene and the susceptibility to T2DM in a Chinese Hui population was interrogated ... more
The objective of this study was to investigate the mRNA expression of hepatic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) after gastric bypass surgery (GBS) in rats with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM). Thirty-six male Goto-Kakizaki rats, aged 12 weeks, were randomly divided into the GBS, sham operation with diet restriction (SO), and sham operation alone (control) groups (N = 12 per group ... more
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified many loci associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), hyperuricemia, and obesity in various ethnic populations. However, quantitative traits have been less well investigated in Han Chinese T2DM populations. We investigated the association between candidate gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and metabolic syndrome-related ... more
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is believed to be associated with excessive production of reactive oxygen species. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) polymorphisms result in decreased or absent enzyme activity and altered oxidative stress, and have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The present study assessed the effect of GST polymorphisms on the ... more
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, complex, multifactorial and polygenic disease, constituting one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide. The genetic background has been shown to strongly influence the disease’s susceptibility. We performed genetic screening of risk-variants for T2DM and complications in the Brazilian population. This ... more
In Vietnam, Anguilla eels have been documented before, but their species composition and biological characteristics are still relatively unknown. Research on the molecular phylogeny of Anguilla has been limited, and identification of the species of eels was usually based on morphological characteristics. This is the first time both cytochrome c ... more
We investigated independent predictors of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in older elderly (>75 years) patients in comparison with those of the elderly (from 60-75 years) in Vietnam. Data are for 308 consecutive AIS patients aged ≥ 60 years (138 aged >75 years) admitted to the stroke unit of Phu Tho Hospital from (2014-2017). An assessment of symptoms was also ... more
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)in children is on the rise and is a concern for parents and the community. There has been no research on the epidemiology of autism in children in general and children under six years old in particular in Nghe An, Vietnam. We examined the prevalence of ASD among children under 6 years of age in this region. We retrospectively studied ... more
