Uric acid (UA) is the final product of human purine metabolism. As one of the main antioxidants in the body, it can scavenge oxidative radicals. Under the action of oxidative-antioxidant shuttle mechanism, the antioxidant activity of UA can be reversed, causing inflammation and oxidative stress of vascular endothelial cells. Hyperuricemia (HUA) is considered to be one of the major risk factors for diabetes and diabetic nephropathy. The study of HUA in diabetic retinopathy (DR) is also a hot topic. UA can cause retinal vascular sclerosis, and affect the occurrence and development of DR by promoting oxidative stress and inducing neovascularization.
Objective To investigate the risk factors of high peritoneal transport characteristics in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing initial continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Method The clinical data of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients who underwent initial peritoneal dialysis and catheterization in the Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2011 to December 2017 and completed the peritoneal equilibration test were collected retrospectively. According to the ratio of dialysate to plasma ratio for creatinine at 4 hour [D/Pcr (4h)] in the standard peritoneal equilibration test, the patients were divided into 4 groups (low transport, low average transport, high average transport and high transport). Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the related factors of D/Pcr (4h). The risk factors of high peritoneal transport characteristics were analyzed by ordered multi classification logistic regression. Results A total of 647 patients were included. The average age of the patients was (45.85±14.03) years, and the average D/Pcr (4h) was 0.67±0.12. Among them, there were 89 cases (13.76%) in the high transport group, 280 cases (43.28%) in the high average transport group, 234 cases (36.17%) in the low average transport group and 44 cases (6.80%) in the low transport group. Diabetic patients with D/Pcr (4h) were higher than those without diabetes mellitus (0.72±0.12 vs. 0.66±0.12; t=?4.005, P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed that age and 24-h urine volume were positively correlated with D/Pcr (4h); serum albumin, triglyceride, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, hemoglobin, serum uric acid and creatinine were negatively correlated with D/Pcr (4h); body surface area (BSA), high sensitivity C-reactive protein, ferritin, cholesterol, sodium, intact parathyroid hormone and estimated giomerular filtration rate had no correlation with D/Pcr (4h). Regression analysis showed that serum albumin [odds ratio (OR)=0.842, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.809, 0.877), P<0.001], serum uric acid [OR=0.996, 95%CI (0.994, 0.998), P<0.001], magnesium [OR=0.389, 95%CI (0.156, 0.965), P=0.042], BSA [OR=3.916, 95%CI (1.121, 13.680), P=0.032] were correlated with the incidence of peritoneal high transport characteristics. Conclusion Low serum albumin, high BSA, low magnesium and low serum uric acid were independent risk factors for high transport characteristics in initial PD patients.

Methods The blood lipid (TG, TC, LDL, and HDL) levels in 200 asymptomatic individuals with high uric acid (A group) and 200 sex-and age-matched ones with normal serum uric acid (B group) were examined and the results of the two groups were compared. Results The concentration of triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were (3.09±0.98), (4.05±1.07), (3.38±0.98), and (1.30±0.51) mmol/L, respectively in group A; and were (1.65±0.86), (3.99±0.99), (2.97±0.89), and (1.41±0.66) mmol /L, respectively in group B. The concentration of TG in group A was obvious higher than that in group B (Plt;0.01). However, the differences of their total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were not significant (Pgt;0.05). The increase of TG was obvious compared with TC(Plt;0.01), LDL (Plt;0.01), and HDL (Plt;0.01) in group A; while the comparisons in group B were not significant (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Uric acid metabolism correlates with triacylglycerol metabolism.
Objective To observe serum uric acid (UA) level of patients with optic neuritis (ON). Methods Thirty-nine patients with ON (ON group), 53 healthy control subjects (control group), 69 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS group) and 51 patients with neuromyelitis optica (NMO group) matched in age and sex were enrolled in the study. In ON group, there were 25 patients with papillitis and 14 patients with retrobulbar type ON. Twenty-eight patients were first time onset while 11 patients were recurrent. The disease duration was less than a year for 28 patients, and over a year for the remainder. Venous blood samples were collected from all individuals in the morning after an overnight fast. UA concentration was measured by the urate oxidaseindirect peroxidase couple assay. Differences of UA concentration were comparatively analyzed among all the groups. UA levels between different genders, different groups, different lesion sites, recurrence and duration of ON were comparatively analyzed. Results Serum UA level in ON group was significantly lower than that in control group (t=3.16,P＜0.05). However, no significant differences were found between ON and MS, ON and NMO, MS and NMO group (t=0.26, 0.94, 1.36;P＞0.05). Serum UA level was significantly lower in female than in male in all groups (F=6.27, 16.20, 21.09, 11.96;P＜0.05). In male and female patients of ON group, UA levels were significantly lower when compared with same gender in control group(t=2.13, 3.04;P＜0.05). However, no differences (P＞0.05) were found between ON and MS of same gender (t=0.25, 0.59), ON and NMO of same gender (t=0.33, 0.63), MS and NMO of same gender (t=0.63, 1.41). Patients with recurrent ON had lower serum UA level than that with first episodes (F=2.73). Patients with duration of over a year had lower serum UA level than that with duration of less than a year (F=0.23). Patients with retrobulbar neuritis also had lower serum UA level than that with papillitis (F=0.76). But the differences were not significant (P＞0.05). Conclusions A reduced serum UA level is found in patients with ON compared with healthy control. But serum UA level is not correlated with recurrence, lesion site or duration of disease.
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of benzbromarone vs. allopurinol for primary gout. Methods Searching PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, VIP and CBM, randomized controlled trials were collected and the quality of RCTs was evaluated using Cochrane systematic review. Meta-analysis was performed. Results 6 RCTs were included in this study,with a total of 350 patients. Meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical significance in total effective rate between two groups (Pgt;0.05). 4 RCTs were enrolled in comparison of ADR. There was statistical significance between two groups (Plt;0.05). Conclusion There is no significant difference in the efficacy between benzbromarone and allopurinol for the primary gout.But benzbromarone is safe than allopurinol for primary gout .
