[Q]: To examine the lipid profile in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients and their relationship with anthropometric parameters, glycaemic control and cardiovascular mortality.', 'A consecutive cohort of 562 newly referred patients with type 2 diabetes to a hospital-based diabetes centre were examined in 1996. Subjects treated with lipid lowering drugs at the time of referral were excluded. A total of 517 subjects were followed up over a mean (+/-SD) period of 4.6 +/- 0.9 years. Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting insulin and lipid profile and anthropometric parameters were documented at the time of recruitment. Cardiovascular mortality, mainly due to coronary heart disease and stroke, was ascertained using death registry and review of hospital case notes in 2001.', 'Of the 517 subjects (mean age of 54.0 +/- 14.0 years), 42.6% were men. In this cohort, 63.3% of subjects were either overweight (BMI > or = 23 kg/m2) or obese (BMI > or = 25 kg/m2) using Asian criteria. The mean (+/-SD) total cholesterol (TC), LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C) and geometric mean (x// antilog SD) of triglycerides (TG) were 5.6 +/- 1.3 mmol/L, 3.6 +/- 1.1 mmol/L, 1.3 +/- 0.3 mmol/L and 1.46x//1.90 mmol/L respectively. TC and LDL-C correlated positively with HbA1c, HDL-C negatively with BMI and WC (waist circumference), while TG positively with HbA1c, BMI, WC and HOMA (insulin resistance estimated using the homeostasis model assessment). During the 4.6 years follow-up period, there were 61 deaths giving a total mortality rate of 11.4%, of which 15 (25%) were because of cardiovascular events. Apart from age and disease duration, logarithm of TG was significantly associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (p = 0.049, relative risk = 2.97, 95% CI 1.00-8.77).

[Q]: To ascertain whether inoculation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) into the mouse cochlea might induce enhancement of DNA binding activity of NK-kappa B and to establish a positive model of NF-kappa B activation in the cochlea.', 'Two groups of CBA mice were transtympanically injected either with 10 micrograms of LPS or an equal volume of saline. The nuclear proteins of the cochlea were extracted, quantitated and bound with 32P-radiolabeled oligonucleotide probe for NF-kappa B. The bound and free probes were separated by electrophoresis on a 4.5% native polyacrylamide gel. Supershift assays were carried out using the antibodies against NF-kappa B subunit P65 and P50.', 'The radiolabeled probe bound differently to nuclear extracts from the LPS-treated and the saline-treated mouse cochleae, showing that LPS inoculation significantly increased NF-kappa B binding activity. Supershift analysis demonstrated that the enhancement of DNA binding activity was related to both P65 and P50 subunits.

[Q]: Little is known about causes of intimal hyperplasia (IH) after sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) implantation.', 'Intravascular ultrasound was performed in 24 lesions with intra-SES restenosis and a comparison group of 25 nonrestenotic SESs. To assess stent strut distribution, the maximum interstrut angle was measured with a protractor centered on the stent, and the visible struts were counted and normalized for the number of stent cells. In SES restenosis patients, minimum lumen site was compared with image slices 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 mm proximal and distal to this site. The minimum lumen site had a smaller IVUS lumen area at follow-up (2.7+/-0.9 versus 6.2+/-1.9 mm2; P<0.01), larger maximum interstrut angle (135+/-39 degrees versus 72+/-23 degrees; P<0.01), larger IH area (3.4+/-1.5 versus 0.6+/-1.1 mm2; P<0.01) and thickness (0.7+/-0.3 versus 0.1+/-0.2 mm; P<0.01) at maximum interstrut angle, and fewer stent struts (4.9+/-1.0 versus 6.0+/-0.5; P<0.01) even when normalized for the number of stent cells (0.78+/-0.15 versus 0.97+/-0.07; P<0.01). Compared with nonrestenotic SES, the restenosis lesions also had a smaller minimal lumen area, larger IH area, thicker IH at maximum interstrut angle, fewer stent struts, and larger maximum interstrut angle. Multivariate analysis identified the number of visualized stent struts normalized for the number of stent cells and maximum interstrut angle as the only independent IVUS predictor of IH cross-sectional area (P<0.01 and P<0.01), minimum lumen area (P<0.01 and P<0.01), and IH thickness (P<0.01 and P<0.01).
