About this study

Official title: Department of Solemn Scientific Research Platform in Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Current knowledge: To the best of our knowledge, no studies have reported the correlation between pulmonary function and the vascular endothelial function in diabetic patients during the preclinical period. Indeed, diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy are the leading causes of end-stage renal failure and acquired blindness, respectively. However, when investigators treat patients with type 2 diabetes, investigators seldom consider the pulmonary vascular injury induced by glycemia. Experimental studies have shown that pulmonary function and Vascular endothelial function change during the preclinical stages of diabetic retinopathy. Researchers have already established that compared to healthy subjects, patients with type 2 diabetes have a reduced alveolar gas exchange capacity. The NO and ET-1 can be used to assess the Vascular endothelial function.

What this paper contributes to our knowledge: Regulating glycemia can improve Vascular endothelial function . This study suggests that detecting the NO and ET-1 would allow for the prediction of changes in pulmonary function during the preclinical stages of diabetic retinopathy and the degree of retinopathy in the future.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pulmonary function parameters(vital capacity,VC,%)

    Pulmonary function tests were performed using a spirometer. We used the ratio of measured values to the expected values, % of predicted value, to eliminate the influence of age, height, and weight. Before testing, subjects remained sitting at quiet rest for at least 30 min, pulmonary function tests were performed 3 times and the best of 3 acceptable readings was used in the analysis. Spirometry and analysis of pulmonary function were performed by trained professionals.

    Measured: one week

  2. pulmonary function parameters(forced vital capacity,FVC,%)

    Pulmonary function tests were performed using a spirometer. We used the ratio of measured values to the expected values, % of predicted value, to eliminate the influence of age, height, and weight. Before testing, subjects remained sitting at quiet rest for at least 30 min, pulmonary function tests were performed 3 times and the best of 3 acceptable readings was used in the analysis. Spirometry and analysis of pulmonary function were performed by trained professionals.

  3. pulmonary function parameters(forced expiratory volume in 1 second,FEV1,%)

    Pulmonary function tests were performed using a spirometer. We used the ratio of measured values to the expected values, % of predicted value, to eliminate the influence of age, height, and weight. Before testing, subjects remained sitting at quiet rest for at least 30 min, pulmonary function tests were performed 3 times and the best of 3 acceptable readings was used in the analysis.
