Objective To determine the efficacy of low-dose radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy (30 mCi, 1110 MBq) in Chinese patients with intermediate- to high-risk papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) without distant metastasis. Design and methods This large retrospective study included Chinese patients with PTC that tested negative for thyroglobulin antibodies. Patients were categorized into low-dose (30 mCi, 1110...
The objective of this study is to determine the property of human perirenal adipose tissue (PAT) and assess the adipose property of PAT in hypertension. Ninety-four patients, including 64 normotensive patients (T-NP) and 30 hypertensive patients (HP), who underwent renal surgery were included. Expression analysis was performed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, and...
The purpose of the study was to determine whether impaired beta-cell function exists in Chinese individuals within the normal range of glucose tolerance (NGT), and these individuals are predisposed to diabetes later in life. The cross-sectional study included 843 NGT subjects and 562 isolated impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) patients and the longitudinal study included 1,724 NGT subjects. Insulin...
The present study was designed to determine the prevalence of ‘metabolically healthy but obese’ (MHO) and ‘metabolically abnormal but not obese’ (MANO) phenotypes in Chinese population, and to investigate the association of these two phenotypes with the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD). A total of 2,764 subjects aged 30–90 were followed up over a mean period of 43.80 ± 11.25 months...
Insulin resistance is a major feature and pathogenic factor of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Theoretically, genetic variation in candidate genes related to insulin resistance may contribute to the pathogenesis of NAFLD. The purpose of this study was to identify potentially pathogenic genes involved in NAFLD and insulin resistance that have not yet been discovered. This study yielded five...
