Objective To detect the changes of oxidative stress in peripheral blood of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),and analyze their relationships with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD).Methods A total of 133 T2DM patients admitted to our unit from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected and followed up for 5 years to analyze the incidence of NAFLD.The occurrence of NAFLD was classified as the occurrence group(n=98)and the non-occurrence group(n=35).The general data and the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX)and thioredoxin interacting protein(TXNIP)in peripheral blood of the two groups were compared.Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of NAFLD in T2DM patients.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of peripheral blood SOD,MDA,GSH-PX and TXNIP levels alone and in combination in T2DM patients with NAFLD.Results The incidence of NAFLD in T2DM patients was 73.68%(98/133).The levels of MDA and TXNIP in peripheral blood of patients with NAFLD were higher than those of patients without NAFLD(P<0.05),and the levels of SOD and GSH-PX were lower than those of patients without NAFLD(P<0.05).The disease duration>5 years,no insulin hypoglycemia was per-formed,fasting blood glucose,the levels of SOD,MDA,GSH-PX and TXNIP in peripheral blood were the influencing factors of T2DM complicated with NAFLD(OR=3.062,3.725,4.350,0.649,4.328,0.551,4.697,P<0.05).The sensitivity of SOD,MDA,GSH-PX and TXNIP combined in predicting T2DM complicated with NAFLD was higher than that of single prediction(P<0.01),and the AUC was higher than that of single prediction(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in specificity between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Elevated levels of peripheral blood oxidative stress can increase the risk of T2DM complicated with NAFLD.The combination of peripheral blood SOD,MDA,GSH-PX and TXNIP levels has a high efficacy in predicting NAFLD complicated with T2DM.
