Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) managed in primary health care in China. Methods: A total of 2 528 T2DM patients were selected using a two-stage cluster random sampling method based on the baseline survey of the "China Diabetic Foot Prevention Model Project." The study was conducted in 2015 among T2DM patients in 8 primary healthcare centers in Changshu county and Jiang'an district of Wuhan, China. Data collection methods included a questionnaire, body measurement, and blood glucose detection. The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is the most widely used noninvasive vascular test. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence factors. Results: The prevalence of PAD was 11.2% among the diabetic patients managed in primary health care in the two cities. The prevalence of PAD under 55 years old, 55- years old, 65- years old, and ≥75 years old were 7.8%, 6.0%, 12.9% and 22.5%, respectively. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression identified influence factors included older age, higher education level, smoking, drinking, postprandial glucose uncontrol, and prior myocardial infarction or angina. Compared to age <55 years, the odds ratio for PAD were 0.74 for 55- years (95%CI: 0.43-1.28), 1.72 for 65- years (95%CI: 1.05-2.81), 3.56 for 75 years and above (95%CI: 2.07-6.11), respectively. Compared to patients with education in primary school and below, the odds ratio was 1.37 (95%CI: 0.97-1.94), 2.48 (95%CI: 1.73-3.55), 1.99 (95%CI: 1.26-3.13) for those with education levels of junior high school, senior high school, and college, respectively. Current smoking (OR=1.49, 95%CI: 1.02-2.17), current drinking (OR=0.45, 95%CI: 0.28-0.71), postprandial glucose uncontrol (2 h postprandial plasma glucose >10.0 mmol/L: OR=1.72, 95%CI: 1.22-2.43), and prior myocardial infarction or angina (OR=2.32, 95%CI: 1.50-3.61) were influencing factors of PAD. Conclusions: Despite the high prevalence of PAD in diabetes managed in primary health care; multiple risk factors are not effectively aware of and under control. It is urgent to promote ABI screening and standardized management for diabetes, especially in primary health care.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the clinical features and CBS gene variants of 13 patients with classic homocystinuria, and the strategies of individual treatment and prevention were explored. Methods: The general information, clinical manifestations, laboratory tests, cranial images, CBS gene variants, diagnosis and therapeutic strategies of 13 patients with classic homocystinuria admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University and Peking University First Hospital from November 2013 to June 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. Results: There were 13 patients diagnosed at the age of 10 days to 14 years, 6 were male and 7 were female. There were 3 patients detected by newborn screening and received treatment at the asymptomatic stage. There were 10 patients clinically diagnosed at the age of 5 to 14 years. Their symptoms appeared at age of 1 to 6 years. The major clinical manifestations were marfanoid features, lens dislocation and (or) myopia, developmental delay, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed asymmetric infarcts in 4 patients and hypomyelination in 1 case. Increased blood methionine, plasma total homocysteine and urinary total homocysteine with normal urinary methylmalonic acid were found in 13 patients. The biochemical features were consistent with classic homocystinuria. Totally 18 variants were identified in CBS gene of 13 patients, 10 variants were novel and 8 were reported. only 1 patient was partially responsive to vitamin B6 treatment, while 12 cases were non-responsive. They were mainly treated with low methionine diet and betaine supplement. Three vitamin B6 non-responsive cases received liver transplantation at age of 3, 8 and 8 years, respectively. Their blood methionine and total homocysteine returned to normal within a week after liver transplantation. One patient died. Prenatal diagnosis was performed for a fetus when the mother was pregnant again. Two pathogenic CBS gene variants were identified from the amniocytes as same as the proband. Conclusions: The clinical manifestations of classic homocystinuria are complex and variable. Blood amino acid analysis, serum or urine total homocysteine assay and gene analysis are critical for its diagnosis. There were 10 novel CBS gene varients were identified expanding the CBS gene varient spectrum. Liver transplantation is an effective treatment. Prenatal diagnosis is important to prevent classic homocysteinuria.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetic patients under community management programs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on T2DM patients in eight communities in Wuhan and Changshu cities. Data would included questionnaire, body measurement, blood testing and clinical examination. The criterion of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was under the combination of symptoms with five physical examinations. Binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influential factors. Results: The overall prevalence of peripheral neuropathy was 71.2% among the diabetic patients who were managed in primary care health services in the two cities. The binary logistic regression method identified older age (≥60 years, OR=2.39, 95%CI:1.95-2.94), longer diabetic duration (≥10 years, OR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.02-1.54), and worse postprandial glucose control (2 h postprandial plasma glucose >10.0 mmol/L: OR=1.65, 95%CI:1.33-2.04) (all P<0.05) as risk factors for the presence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, while higher education level was protective factor (compared to patients with education levels of primary school or below, OR=0.52, 95%CI: 0.41-0.66; OR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.44-0.79; OR=0.64, 95%CI: 0.44-0.94 for those with education levels of junior high school, senior high school, and college, respectively). Conclusions: High rates of diabetic peripheral neuropathy among T2DM patients suggested the urgent need for early screening and standardized management at the community levels. It is necessary to promote appropriate screening techniques and methods to identify the peripheral neuropathy, in the primary health service institutions.

Abstract
Objective: To detect the high mobility group A2 (HMGA2) expression in renal carcinoma, and to explore the relationship with clinicopathological features and its significance for prognosis. Methods: 50 renal carcinoma specimens, 50 corresponding adjacent normal kidney tissue samples, and 40 benign renal tumor specimens were used in this study. The expressions of HMGA2 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunohistochemical assays, and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis in the renal carcinoma patients was analyzed. Results: The RT-PCR results showed that the relative expression levels of HMGA2 mRNA in the renal carcinoma, benign renal tumor tissues, and adjacent normal renal tissues were 0.84±0.23, 0.19± 0.06 and 0.08±0.04, respectively, and the expression in renal carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than those of the other 2 groups (P<0.01). The Western blot results showed that the relative expression levels of HMGA2 protein in the renal carcinoma, benign renal tumor tissues, and adjacent normal renal tissues were 0.91±0.24, 0.12±0.04 and 0.03±0.01, respectively, and the expression in renal carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than those of the other 2 groups (P<0.01). Immunohistochemical results showed that the expression of HMGA2 protein exhibited brown and tan granular, which mainly distributed in the cell nuclei. Among the 50 cases of renal carcinoma, 34 cases exhibited positive expression, with a positive rate of 68.0%. Among the 40 cases of benign tumor tissues, 3 cases had positive expression, with a positive rate of 7.5%, while among the 50 cases of adjacent normal renal tissues, there was only 1 case exhibiting positive expression of HMGA2 protein, with a positive rate of 2.0%. The protein expression of HMGA2 was significantly higher in the renal carcinoma than in the benign tumors and normal renal tissues (P=0.004). There was no statistically significant difference in the association of HMGA2 protein expressions with age, sex, tumor size and histological type (P>0.05), while significant difference did exist in the association with different statuses of TNM staging and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The median time to progression (TTP) in 34 HMGA2 protein-positive patients was (22.36±1.48) months and that of 16 HMGA2 protein-negative patients was (34.55±1.87) months (P<0.05). Conclusions: HMGA2 plays an important role in the tumorigenesis and development of renal carcinoma, and may be used as an important predictor for estimating the prognosis of renal carcinoma. HMGA2 might become a new diagnostic and prognostic marker for renal carcinoma.

Abstract
A novel method for measuring the linewidth of each laser and channel spacing in a multichannel transmission system is presented. Using the dependence of the Stokes frequency shift on the pump wavelength in stimulated Brillouin scattering, we are able to construct a delayed self-heterodyne interferometer that can measure the linewidths and channel spacing simultaneously.
