    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To review the incident status of childhood type 1 diabetes mellitus hospitalized in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from 1999 to 2009 and to explore the clinical value of IL-10 in diabetic ketoacidosis. METHODS: The clinical data of 263 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus hospitalized in the Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 1999 to February 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. Serum lipid levels were measured in 48 children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and in 24 healthy children. The diabetic children were classified into two subgroups, with or without ketoacidosis. Serum lipid and cytokines levels were compared. RESULTS: Childhood type 1 diabetes mellitus was common in females (56.3%). The peak incident age of the disease was between 6 and 11.9 years. Diabetic ketoacidosis was as the presenting symptom for the first visit in 86 cases (32.7%). The levels of serum lipid, blood glucose and HbA1c in diabetic children with ketoacidosis were significantly higher than those without ketoacidosis (P<0.05). Logistic analysis demonstrated that the increased levels of blood glucose, serum lipid and HbA1c were risk factors for diabetic ketoacidosis. The level of serum IL-10 in diabetic children with ketoacidosis was significantly higher than that in patients without ketoacidosis (P<0.01), while there were no differences in serum levels IL-2, IL4, IL-6, TNF-α and IFN-γ between them. Serum levels IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-α and IFN-γ in diabetic children were significantly higher than those in healthy children (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Ketoacidosis is a common acute complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus. The disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism are the risk factors for ketoacidosis in diabetic children. IL-10 may be a sensitive index of diabetic ketoacidosis in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
