Association of TCF7L2 gene polymorphisms with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus in a Chinese Hui population
Authors: Y. Yang, J.R. Xu, Y.J. Wang and X.M. Li
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 popula.. Read More»

Roles of microRNA-221/222 in type 2 diabetic patients with post-menopausal breast cancer
Authors: M.Y. Li, S.R. Pan and A.Y. Qiu
The aim of the research was to examine the expression level of microRNA221/222 (miR-221/222) in the serum of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who are also diagnosed with post-menopausal breast cancer. We aimed to evaluate the differences in microRNA expression in patients with T2DM alone, patients with post-menopa.. Read More»

Correlation between serum YKL-40 levels and albuminuria in type 2 diabetes
Authors: J.Y. Han, X.Y. Ma, L.J. Yu, Y. Shao and Q.Y. Wang
We explored the correlation between serum YKL-40 levels and albuminuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its clinical significance. This study used a cross-sectional survey method. According to the American Diabetes Association 2007 Clinical Practice Recommendations, 738 patients with T2DM were divided into three groups: a normoalbuminuria group [al.. Read More»
