The Association of Smoking Status with Diabetic Microvascular Complications in Korean Patients with Type 2 Diabetes. Yonsei Med J 2024; 65:427-433. [PMID: 39048318 PMCID: PMC11284303 DOI: 10.3349/ymj.2023.0355] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Few studies have investigated the association between smoking and microvascular complications in the Asian population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to investigate the relationship between smoking status and microvascular complications in Korean patients with T2DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS From the Korean National Diabetes Program cohort, we included 2316 Korean male with T2DM who had baseline clinical information available, including their smoking status, and underwent diabetic complication studies. RESULTS Compared to non-smokers, current smokers had higher odds of any-microvascular complications [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.45, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07-1.97, p=0.016]. The odds of neuropathy were significantly higher; however, the odds of retinopathy were significantly lower in current smokers than in nonsmokers (all p<0.05). Among those who underwent repeated complication tests after 3 years, the risk of newly developed retinopathy was significantly increased in ex-smokers [aOR 3.77 (95% CI 1.61-8.87), p=0.002]. Within ex-smokers, long smoking duration and smoking cessation within the recent 5 years were associated with an increased risk of newly developed retinopathy (all p<0.05). CONCLUSION Male smokers had higher odds of having overall diabetic microvascular complications, including neuropathy. However, the odds of having retinopathy were significantly lower among current smokers. More attention and research are needed regarding the increased risk of retinopathy development in ex-smokers who have recently stopped smoking after a long history of smoking.

Magalhães CODE, Sousa RALD, Mendes BF, Dias IR, Pereira RRS, Pereira GC, Lee KS, Peixoto MFD, Cassilhas RC. Accumulated HIIT inhibits anxiety and depression, improves cognitive function, and memory-related proteins in the hippocampus of aged rats. Exp Brain Res 2024; 242:1871-1879. [PMID: 38864869 DOI: 10.1007/s00221-024-06869-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) performed in a single session(1xHIIT) versus three daily sessions (3xHIIT) on fitness level and behavior of aged rats. Eighteen-month-old Wistar rats were assigned to Untrained (UN), 1xHIIT, or 3xHIIT (n = 12/group). Both groups, 1xHIIT and 3xHIIT, performed 15 min of a treadmill running HIIT protocol during 8 weeks. 1xHIIT protocol consisted of a single daily session of 15 min, while the 3xHIIT performed three daily sessions of 5 min with a 4 h interval between the sessions. Morris Water Maze (MWM) task was used to evaluate spatial learning and memory. Splash test, Forced Swim test, and Elevated Plus Maze task (EPM) were used to evaluate anhedonic, depressive-like, and anxious behaviors, respectively. Rats were euthanized, and the hippocampus was harvested for western blot analyses (CaMKII and BDNF). Both HIIT protocols improved VO2max and spatial memory. Notably, only the 3xHIIT protocol attenuated anxious and depressive-like behaviors. Western blot analyses of the hippocampus revealed that both HIIT protocols increased BDNF levels. BDNF levels were higher in the 3xHIIT when compared with 1xHIIT group, and we observed increasement of the CamKII levels just in the 3x HIIT group. Therefore, this study provides evidence indicating that accumulated HIIT sessions is more effective than traditional daily HIIT sessions in improving fitness level, cognitive function, memory, inhibiting the development of mood disorders, and enhancing BDNF and CaMKII levels in the hippocampus of aged rats.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome refers to the pathological state of metabolic disorder of protein, fat, carbohydrate, and other substances in the human body. It is a syndrome composed of a group of complex metabolic disorders, whose pathogenesis includes multiple genetic and acquired entities falling under the category of insulin resistance and chronic low-grade inflammationand. It is a risk factor for increased prevalence and mortality from diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular diseases are the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality globally, thus it is imperative to investigate the impact of metabolic syndrome on alleviating this substantial disease burden. Despite the increasing number of scientists dedicating themselves to researching metabolic syndrome in recent decades, numerous aspects of this condition remain incompletely understood, leaving many questions unanswered. In this review, we present an epidemiological analysis of MetS, explore both traditional and novel pathogenesis, examine the pathophysiological repercussions of metabolic syndrome, summarize research advances, and elucidate the mechanisms underlying corresponding treatment approaches.

[PMID: 39113944 PMCID: PMC11305311 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e34604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have explored the impact of melatonin on body composition and blood pressure (BP). However, the findings from these studies remain a topic of debate. This systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs sought to evaluate the effects of melatonin consumption on body composition (body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC)) and asleep/daytime BP (systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP)) in adults. Methods In order to identify eligible RCTs, a systematic literature search was carried out up to June 2024 in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science without any language restrictions. The I2 statistic was used to perform heterogeneity tests on the selected studies. After evaluating random effects models based on heterogeneity tests, the weighted mean differences (WMD) with a 95 % confidence interval (CI) were calculated using pooled data. Results Overall, 28 studies (n = 1,543 participants) met our inclusion criteria. A pooled analysis of studies demonstrated that melatonin consumption led to a significant reduction in HC (WMD: 1.21 cm; 95 % CI: 1.94 to -0.49; P = 0.001), and daytime DBP (WMD: 1.40 mmHg; 95 % CI: 2.46 to -0.34; P = 0.009) in comparison with the control group. However, no substantial effects were observed on BW, BMI, WC, and SBP compared to the control group. Conclusion: The current meta-analysis of RCTs shows that treatment with melatonin reduces HC and daytime DBP levels in adults. However, further well-designed RCTs with large sample sizes and long durations are necessary to determine the effect of this supplement on body composition and BP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major public health issue with no definitive treatment. The first-line approach for obesity is lifestyle modification, including a healthy diet. Although the amount of fat has been considered, there is no network meta-analysis (NMA) study investigating the effect of edible oils on body weight. Therefore, we sought to investigate the effect of different edible oils on body weight using a systematic review and NMA study of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). METHOD PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to April 2019. RCTs of different edible oils for body weight were included. A frequentist network meta-analysis was conducted to appraise the efficacy of different types of edible oils, and the Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking Curve (SUCRA) was estimated. The GRADE framework was used to assess the certainty of evidence. RESULTS Forty-two eligible studies were included. Most of the included trials examined the effect of olive oil compared to canola oil (n = 7 studies), followed by canola oil compared to sunflower oil (n = 6 studies), and olive oil compared to sunflower oil (n = 4 studies). Sesame oil had the highest SUCRA value for reducing weight (SUCRA value = 0.9), followed by the mixture of canola and sesame oil (0.8). Palm oil and soy oil were ranked the lowest (SUCRA value = 0.2). CONCLUSION There is low to moderate certainty of evidence showing that soybean, palm, and sunflower oils were associated with weight gain, while sesame oil produced beneficial anti-obesity effects.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of swimming in the brain and behavior of young and aged mice. Forty-eight male C57BL/6 J mice were randomly distributed into 4 groups (n = 12 per group, 3 and 18 months old). The subdivision of the groups was: 3 months-SED, 18 months-SED, 3 months-EXE, and 18 months-EXE. SED mice did not swim, while EXE mice performed the physical exercise protocol. Training was initiated 48 h after the adaptation week. Swimming sessions consisted of 30 min, with no overload, 5 days per week, for 4 weeks. After the exercise protocol, it was revealed working and spatial memory were impaired in the 18 months-SED group. Pre- and post-synaptic proteins were enhanced in the groups that swam when compared to the 3- and 8 months-SED groups. Lipid peroxidation was greater in the aged mice that did not perform the physical exercise protocol and might have contributed to the cognitive impairment in this group. In conclusion, an aerobic physical exercise protocol, performed through regular swimming sessions, inhibited cognitive impairment, memory loss and lipid peroxidation in the aged mice, while pre- and post-synaptic proteins were enhanced in the hippocampus of young and aged mice.

Abstract
This article investigates the effectiveness of feature extraction and selection techniques in enhancing the performance of classifier accuracy in Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) detection using microarray gene data. To address the inherent high dimensionality of the data, three feature extraction (FE) methods are used, namely Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Ridge Regression (RR), and Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (PCC). To further refine the data, meta-heuristic algorithms like Bald Eagle Search Optimization (BESO) and Red Deer Optimization (RDO) are utilized for feature selection. The performance of seven classification techniques, Non-Linear Regression-NLR, Linear Regression-LR, Gaussian Mixture Models-GMMs, Expectation Maximization-EM, Logistic Regression-LoR, Softmax Discriminant Classifier-SDC, and Support Vector Machine with Radial Basis Function kernel-SVM-RBF, are evaluated with and without feature selection. The analysis reveals that the combination of PCC with SVM-RBF achieved a promising accuracy of 92.85% even without feature selection. Notably, employing BESO with PCC and SVM-RBF maintained this high accuracy. However, the highest overall accuracy of 97.14% was achieved when RDO was used for feature selection alongside PCC and SVM-RBF. These findings highlight the potential of feature extraction and selection techniques, particularly RDO with PCC, in improving the accuracy of DM detection using microarray gene data.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory systemic disease accompanied by systemic damage that leads to the development of multiple comorbidities including metabolic syndrome. Conventional systemic therapies for psoriasis are associated with toxicity and have a greater burden on the patients. The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of etanercept (ETN) monotherapy in comparison with methotrexate (MTX) monotherapy. METHODS In this prospective interventional comparative open-label study, 117 patients with psoriasis were randomized to 2 groups; 1 group of 42 patients; 32 (67.2%) males and 10 (23.8%) females treated with MTX, and the second group of 75 patients; 54 (72%) males and 21 (28%) females treated with ETN. Full laboratory investigations, body mass index (BMI), measurement of skin disease severity which was performed using Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI), and the reduction of 75% of the skin lesions (PASI 75) were calculated for all participants. RESULTS In the MTX group, there were no significant differences in BMI, or blood pressure after 12 weeks of the study. There is a reduction in the values of FBS, TSC, LDL, TRIG, ESR, CRP, and PASI, but this reduction was statistically not significant. Ten (23.8%) patients achieved PASI 75. In the ETN group, except for BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, all other metabolic syndrome components, inflammatory markers, and PASI were decreased; the reduction was statistically significant. Sixty (80%) patients achieved PASI 75. CONCLUSION Etanercept monotherapy showed greater efficacy than MTX monotherapy in the treatment of moderate to severe plaque-type psoriasis as it achieved greater reductions in PASI score and greater achievement of PASI 75 after 12 weeks. Etanercept monotherapy showed greater efficacy than MTX monotherapy in the improvement of all components of the associated metabolic syndrome except for BMI, which was increased in etanercept-treated patients.

Abstract
There has been growing attention to multi-class classification problems, particularly those challenges of imbalanced class distributions. To address these challenges, various strategies, including data-level re-sampling treatment and ensemble methods, have been introduced to bolster the performance of predictive models and Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms in scenarios where excessive level of imbalance is present. While most research and algorithm development have been focused on binary classification problems, in health informatics there is an increased interest in the field to address the problem of multi-class classification in imbalanced datasets. Multi-class imbalance problems bring forth more complex challenges, as a delicate approach is required to generate synthetic data and simultaneously maintain the relationship between the multiple classes. The aim of this review paper is to examine over-sampling methods tailored for medical and other datasets with multi-class imbalance. Out of 2,076 peer-reviewed papers identified through searches, 197 eligible papers were chosen and thoroughly reviewed for inclusion, narrowing to 37 studies being selected for in-depth analysis. These studies are categorised into four categories: metric, adaptive, structure-based, and hybrid approaches. The most significant finding is the emerging trend toward hybrid resampling methods that combine the strengths of various techniques to effectively address the problem of imbalanced data. This paper provides an extensive analysis of each selected study, discusses their findings, and outlines directions for future research.

MetSCORE: a molecular metric to evaluate the risk of metabolic syndrome based on serum NMR metabolomics. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:272. [PMID: 39048982 PMCID: PMC11271192 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-024-02363-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of medical conditions and risk factors correlating with insulin resistance that increase the risk of developing cardiometabolic health problems. The specific criteria for diagnosing MetS vary among different medical organizations but are typically based on the evaluation of abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia. A unique, quantitative and independent estimation of the risk of MetS based only on quantitative biomarkers is highly desirable for the comparison between patients and to study the individual progression of the disease in a quantitative manner. METHODS We used NMR-based metabolomics on a large cohort of donors (n = 21,323; 37.5% female) to investigate the diagnostic value of serum or serum combined with urine to estimate the MetS risk. Specifically, we have determined 41 circulating metabolites and 112 lipoprotein classes and subclasses in serum samples and this information has been integrated with metabolic profiles extracted from urine samples. RESULTS We have developed MetSCORE, a metabolic model of MetS that combines serum lipoprotein and metabolite information. MetSCORE discriminate patients with MetS (independently identified using the WHO criterium) from general population, with an AUROC of 0.94 (95% CI 0.920-0.952, p < 0.001). MetSCORE is also able to discriminate the intermediate phenotypes, identifying the early risk of MetS in a quantitative way and ranking individuals according to their risk of undergoing MetS (for general population) or according to the severity of the syndrome (for MetS patients). CONCLUSIONS We believe that MetSCORE may be an insightful tool for early intervention and lifestyle modifications, potentially preventing the aggravation of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically review the current status and influencing factors of psychological resilience in stroke patients and to provide a theoretical basis for future personalized rehabilitation support and psychological interventions. METHOD This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. A comprehensive search of databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, CNKI, VIP, CMB, and WANGFANG was conducted from inception until November 22, 2023, resulting in the retrieval of 2099 studies. Literature screening and data extraction were performed by two independent evaluators based on pre-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, and meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software. RESULTS The final review included 23 studies. The results showed that self-efficacy, hope, confrontation coping, avoidance coping, functional independence, quality of life, and social support were positively associated with psychological resilience. Conversely, anxiety, depression, and resignation coping were negatively associated with psychological resilience. CONCLUSIONS Patients with stroke have a low level of psychological resilience, which was influenced by a variety of factors. However, longitudinal and large sample studies are needed to further confirm these findings. These results should be integrated into clinical practice for early assessment and targeted intervention in psychological resilience to assist patients in coping with the rehabilitation process and life changes after a stroke.

PLoS One 2024; 19:e0306413. [PMID: 39046996 PMCID: PMC11268606 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0306413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals diagnosed with chronic medical conditions and patients appointed to undergo surgery face various degrees of anxiety as a result of doubts related to the outcome of surgery, and the psycho-socioeconomic costs of the medical illness. This can affect the treatment process and even the outcome of patients with medical and surgical cases. Though different studies were conducted on anxiety and associated factors among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia, the findings were found to be inconsistent and had a wide discrepancy. So, this systematic review and meta-analysis estimated the pooled effect size of anxiety among this population and guides to plan appropriate intervention at a national level. METHODS Studies conducted on anxiety and associated factors among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia were included. Data was extracted using Microsoft Excel and analyzed using STATA version 11. The random-effects model was used to estimate the pooled effect size of anxiety and its determinants with 95% confidence intervals. Funnel plots and Egger's regression tests were employed to check publication bias. Sub-group and sensitivity analyses were also conducted. RESULTS The pooled prevalence of anxiety among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia was found to be 48.82% with a 95% CI (42.66, 54.99). Being female[OR = 2.84(2.02, 4.01)], fear of death [OR = 2.93(1.57, 5.50)], and history of surgery[OR = 0.42(0.27, 0.065)], among surgical patients and being female[OR = 2.35(1.94, 2.850], having poor social support[OR = 2.22(1.62, 3.05)], perceived stigma[OR = 4.25(1.97, 9.18)] and family history of mental illness[OR = 1.86(1.21, 2.86)] among medical patients were significantly associated with anxiety in this systematic review and meta-analysis. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION The pooled prevalence of anxiety among medical and surgical patients in Ethiopia was found to be high. Therefore, it would be good for professionals to screen patients for anxiety besides managing their medical or surgical cases to detect them early and address them.

Abstract
The hepatoprotective effects of natural products have been a significant focus in recent decades due to the growing demand for the help in the treatment of hepatic impairments. This review specifically delves into the findings of clinical trials involving 13 selected natural products, namely plants and their derived compounds (e.g., artichoke, berberine, and turmeric), algae (e.g., spirulina), probiotics, and other products like phospholipids and vitamin D. A literature search was performed in the Scopus database, PubMed, and Google Scholar, covering all articles found up to June 2024. Artichoke, berberine, chlorella, chicory, green tea, probiotics, phospholipids, schisandra, silymarin, spirulina, and vitamin D caused a decrease in liver enzymes, while for cinnamon and turmeric such an effect was either not observed or not convincing. The presented results indicate that some natural products might satisfactorily improve hepatic outcomes in NAFLD, NASH, and other liver disorders; however, further studies and metanalyses are needed to clearly demonstrate their effectiveness.

Abstract
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) prevalence and diabetes mellitus (DM) prevalence are continuously increasing worldwide. The strong relationship between DM and PAD is highlighted by recent evidence. PAD diagnosis in diabetic patients is very important, particularly in patients with diabetic foot disease (DFD); however, it is often made difficult by the characteristics of such diseases. Diagnosing PAD makes it possible to identify patients at a very high cardiovascular risk who require intensive treatment in terms of risk factor modification and medical therapy. The purpose of this review is to discuss the diagnostic methods that allow for a diagnosis of PAD in diabetic patients. Non-invasive tests that address PAD diagnosis will be discussed, such as the ankle-brachial index (ABI), toe pressure (TP), and transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2). Furthermore, imaging methods, such as duplex ultrasound (DUS), computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and digital subtraction angiography (DSA), are described because they allow for diagnosing the anatomical localization and severity of artery stenosis or occlusion in PAD. Non-invasive tests will also be discussed in terms of their ability to assess foot perfusion. Foot perfusion assessment is crucial in the diagnosis of critical limb ischemia (CLI), the most advanced PAD stage, particularly in DFD patients. The impacts of PAD diagnosis and CLI identification in diabetic patients are clinically relevant to prevent amputation and mortality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating microRNAs have been implicated in a diverse array of biological and pathological phenomena. Their potential utility as noninvasive biomarkers for screening and diagnosing various diseases has been proposed. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the potential role of the miRNAs miR-122 and miR-486 as molecular biomarkers in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Thus, miR-122 and miR-486 were detected in the serum of HCV patients and healthy controls. Moreover, the potential correlations of miR-122 and miR-486 with viral complications, such as physical activity, pain, muscle fatigue, and HCV infection, were identified. METHODS A total of 150 subjects aged 30 to 66 years were included in this study. The patients were classified as patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (CHC) (n = 110) or healthy controls (n = 40). Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses were performed to determine miR-122 and miR-486 expression. Physical activity (PA), pain score, HCV genotyping, viral overload, aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), lactic acid dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), and antioxidant status were also estimated by using prevalidated questionnaires, PCR, and spectrophotometric analyses. RESULTS Compared with those in normal controls, significant increases in the serum levels of miR-122 and miR-486 were reported in patients with CHC. In physically active CHC patients, there was a significant correlation between the expression of miRNAs and increased alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), fibrosis scores, and inflammation activity, but no association was reported for hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA or viral load. Additionally, significant decreases in LDH, CK, GSSG, and pain scores and increases in TAC, GSH, and the GSH/GSSG ratio were reported. Moreover, the expression of miR-122 and miR-486 was positively correlated with changes in body mass index (BMI) and liver fibrosis stage, as well as negatively correlated with sex, PA, TAC, GSH, GSSG, and the GSH/GSSG ratio. CONCLUSION MiR-122 and miR-486 expression levels were strongly correlated with physical activity, pain perception, and muscle fatigue biomarkers in HCV-infected patients. These miRNA levels were associated with elevated AST, ALT, fibrosis scores, LDH, CK, and antioxidant status, thus suggesting their potential as biomarkers for disease severity and oxidative stress. However, no correlation was observed with viral load or HCV-RNA expression, thus implying that these miRNAs may impact disease progression and symptoms through host factors, rather than directly affecting viral replication. In summary, the results demonstrated that molecular studies of miR-22 and miR-468 and their associations with PA, pain, adiposity, sex differences, and muscle fatigue, as well as routine biomarkers, could be useful as prognostic nanoninvasive biomarkers, thus providing novel therapeutic targets for CHC infection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Beta-cell monogenic forms of diabetes have strong support for precision medicine. We systematically analyzed evidence for precision treatments for GCK-related hyperglycemia, HNF1A-, HNF4A- and HNF1B-diabetes, and mitochondrial diabetes (MD) due to m.3243 A > G variant, 6q24-transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TND) and SLC19A2-diabetes. METHODS The search of PubMed, MEDLINE, and Embase for individual and group level data for glycemic outcomes using inclusion (English, original articles written after 1992) and exclusion (VUS, multiple diabetes types, absent/aggregated treatment effect measures) criteria. The risk of bias was assessed using NHLBI study-quality assessment tools. Data extracted from Covidence were summarized and presented as descriptive statistics in tables and text. RESULTS There are 146 studies included, with only six being experimental studies. For GCK-related hyperglycemia, the six studies (35 individuals) assessing therapy discontinuation show no HbA1c deterioration. A randomized trial (18 individuals per group) shows that sulfonylureas (SU) were more effective in HNF1A-diabetes than in type 2 diabetes. Cohort and case studies support SU's effectiveness in lowering HbA1c. Two cross-over trials (each with 15-16 individuals) suggest glinides and GLP-1 receptor agonists might be used in place of SU. Evidence for HNF4A-diabetes is limited. Most reported patients with HNF1B-diabetes (N = 293) and MD (N = 233) are on insulin without treatment studies. Limited data support oral agents after relapse in 6q24-TND and for thiamine improving glycemic control and reducing/eliminating insulin requirement in SLC19A2-diabetes. CONCLUSION There is limited evidence, and with moderate or serious risk of bias, to guide monogenic diabetes treatment. Further evidence is needed to examine the optimum treatment in monogenic subtypes.

Abstract
Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia that affects the elderly population. Lately, blood-based proteomics have been intensively sought in the discovery of AD biomarkers studies due to the capability to link external environmental factors with the development of AD. Demographic differences have been shown to affect the expression of the proteins in different populations which play a vital role in the degeneration of cognitive function. Method In this study, a proteomic study focused on Malaysian Chinese and Malay prospects was conducted. Differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in AD patients and normal controls for Chinese and Malays were identified. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted to further interpret the biological functions and pathways of the DEPs. In addition, a survey investigating behavioural practices among Chinese and Malay participants was conducted to support the results from the proteomic analysis. Result The variation of dysregulated proteins identified in Chinese and Malay samples suggested the disparities of pathways involved in this pathological condition for each respective ethnicity. Functional enrichment analysis supported this assumption in understanding the protein-protein interactions of the identified protein signatures and indicate that differentially expressed proteins identified from the Chinese group were significantly enriched with the functional terms related to Aβ/tau protein-related processes, oxidative stress and inflammation whereas neuroinflammation was associated with the Malay group. Besides that, a significant difference in sweet drinks/food intake habits between these two groups implies a relationship between sugar levels and the dysregulation of protein APOA4 in the Malay group. Additional meta-analysis further supported the dysregulation of proteins TF, AHSG, A1BG, APOA4 and C4A among AD groups. Conclusion These findings serve as a preliminary understanding in the molecular and demographic studies of AD in a multi-ethnic population.

Abstract
Vegetables are good sources of essential mineral elements that promote good health and immunity. Information on the nutritional contents of indigenous vegetables is scarce. Therefore, this study sought to ascertain the concentrations of magnesium, manganese, chrome, zinc, copper, and iron in Solanum nigrum and Gynandropsis gynandra indigenous vegetables from two agroecological zones (upper midland and lower highland) of Kisii County, Kenya, using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‒OES). For Gnandropsis gynandra, the most abundant erythrocytic synthesis element was Fe (1856.67 ± 15.28 mg/kg DW) for plants harvested from Nyanchwa (UM), and the least was Cu (8.90 ± 0.44 mg/kg DW) in plants harvested from Kari (LH). In addition, Mg was the hypoglycemic element with the highest concentration (5975.00 ± 10.00 mg/kg DW), and Cr lowest (3.16 ± 0.45 mg/kg DW) in samples harvested from Matongo (UM). For Solanum nigrum, the most erythrocytic synthesis element was Fe (1280.00 ± 10.00 mg/kg DW for samples collected from Kiamabundu (UM), and the least was Cu (9.08 ± 0.15 mg/kg DW) in the samples from Nyanchwa (UM), whereas Mg in samples from Nyabioto (UM) was the hypoglycemic element with the highest concentration (4920.00 ± 10.00 mg/kg DW) and Cr in samples from Mariba (LH had the lowest concentration) (3.95 ± 1.63 mg/kg DW). The concentrations of elements in the two indigenous vegetables from the UM agroecological zone were slightly greater than those in the LH agroecological zone. Nonetheless, the variations observed were not statistically significant (P < 0.05). Enzymatically bio accessed concentrations of iron, zinc, chromium, magnesium, manganese, and copper were higher than those obtained aquatically. The indigenous vegetable bio avails substantial amounts of iron and copper to enable them be used in the management pernicious anaemia; on the other hand, the substantial bio availed levels of zinc, manganese, magnesium, and chromium enables the vegetable to be used in the management of diabetes.

Abstract
Introduction Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with impaired offspring cardiac function. The objective of this systematic review was to determine the effect of diabetes in pregnancy on cardiac function in the offspring measured by echocardiography. Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL and Web of Science databases were searched from 1992 to June 27, 2023. Studies reporting offspring (age < 18 years) cardiac function by echocardiography compared between any type of diabetes in pregnancy and healthy control pregnancies were included. Study selection, quality assessment and risk of bias was independently performed by two reviewers. Meta-analyses was performed where possible. Results Thirty-one observational studies were included 1,679 cases and 2,694 controls. In the first week of life (23 studies, n = 2,663), intraventricular septum diastolic diameter (hypertrophy) was increased, while myocardial performance index (global function) and LV E/A-ratio (diastolic function) were decreased. No difference was found for left ventricular ejection fraction (systolic function). At 1-6 months (4 studies, n = 454) studies found hypertrophy, and decreased global function, but no difference in systolic or diastolic function. At 1-8 years (7 studies, n = 1,609) no difference was found. The available data did not allow for sub-analysis based on the type of diabetes, treatment, or glycemic control. Conclusions Diabetes in pregnancy is associated with cardiac hypertrophy and impaired global cardiac function in infants up to six months old. The few studies reporting on older children found no difference in the parameters investigated. Longitudinal studies employing more advanced echocardiographic measures or MRI are needed to evaluate consequences for long-term cardiac health.

Abstract
Background Inappropriate management of blood sugar in patients with diabetes mellitus leads to micro-vascular and macro-vascular complications, subsequently leading to high morbidity and mortality rates. In addition, diabetes independently increases the occurrence of cognitive impairment complicated by dementia. Scientific evidence on the magnitude of cognitive impairment will provide a sound basis for the determination of healthcare needs and the planning of effective healthcare services. Despite this, there are no comprehensive data on the prevalence and associated factors of cognitive impairment among patients with diabetes in Africa. Methods To identify relevant articles for this review, we searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, African Journals Online, and Google Scholar. After extraction, the data were imported into Stata software version 11 (Stata Corp., TX, USA) for further analysis. The random-effects model, specifically the DerSimonian and Laird (D+L) pooled estimation method, was used due to the high heterogeneity between the included articles. Begg's and Egger's regression tests were used to determine the evidence of publication bias. Sub-group analyses and sensitivity analyses were also conducted to handle heterogeneity. Results The pooled prevalence of cognitive impairment among patients with diabetes in Africa is found to be 43.99% (95% CI: 30.15-57.83, p < 0.001). According to our analysis, primary level of education [pooled odds ratio (POR) = 6.08, 95% CI: 3.57-10.36, I 2 = 40.7%], poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (POR = 5.85, 95% CI: 1.64-20.92, I 2 = 87.8%), age above 60 years old (POR = 3.83, 95% 95% CI: 1.36-10.79, I 2 = 63.7%), and diabetes duration greater than 10 years (POR = 1.13; 95% CI: 1.07-1.19, I 2 = 0.0%) were factors associated with cognitive impairment among patients with diabetes. Conclusion Based on our systematic review, individuals with diabetes mellitus exhibit a substantial prevalence rate (43.99%) of cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment was found to be associated with factors such as primary level of education, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, age above 60 years, and diabetes duration greater than 10 years. Developing suitable risk assessment tools is crucial to address uncontrolled hyperglycemia effectively. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero, identifier CRD42024561484.

Abstract
Background Undiagnosed diabetes mellitus poses a significant global public health concern, exerting a substantial impact on the well-being of individuals, their families, and societies at large. Those individuals with undiagnosed diabetes miss opportunities to maintain quality of life and prevent diabetes-related complications. Even if there are ample primary studies on undiagnosed diabetes in Ethiopia, the results reveal conflicting results. Therefore, a comprehensive national picture of undiagnosed diabetes is essential for designing effective strategies at the national level. Methods This study adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines for prevalence studies (PROSPERO ID: CRD42021266676). PubMed, Web of Science and the World Health Organization's Hinari portal were searched using a strategy developed in collaboration with Liberians. The inclusion criteria comprised studies reporting undiagnosed diabetes in Ethiopia. Two independent reviewers conducted a quality assessment using a 10-item appraisal tool. Meta-analysis and meta-regression were performed using a random-effects model. Result Twenty-five studies with 22,193 participants met the inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes among the Ethiopian adult population was 5.68% (95% CI: 4.53 - 6.83, I2 = 75.4). Factors significantly associated with undiagnosed diabetes include age, waist circumference, overweight, family history of diabetes, and a history of hypertension. Conclusion Our systematic review found a noteworthy prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes in Ethiopia. The majority of factors linked with undiagnosed diabetes in this review were modifiable. This underscores the importance of targeted factors and public health interventions to improve early detection and reduce the burden of undiagnosed diabetes and its complications in Ethiopia.

Abstract
Over the years, the world has continued to be plagued by type 2 diabetes (T2D). As a lifestyle disease, obese individuals are at higher risk of developing the disease. Medicinal plants have increasingly been utilized as remedial agents for managing metabolic syndrome. The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro anti-hyperglycemic and anti-lipidemic potential of Croton gratissimus herbal tea infusion. The inhibitory activities of C. gratissimus on carbohydrate (α-glucosidase and α-amylase) and lipid (pancreatic lipase) hydrolyzing enzymes were determined, and the mode of inhibition of the carbohydrate digestive enzymes was analyzed and calculated via Lineweaver-Burk plots and Michaelis Menten's equation. Its effect on Advanced Glycation End Product (AGE) formation, glucose adsorption, and yeast glucose utilization were also determined. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to quantify the possible phenolic compounds present in the herbal tea infusion, and the compounds were docked with the digestive enzymes. C. gratissimus significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited α-glucosidase (IC50 = 60.56 ± 2.78 μg/mL), α-amylase (IC50 = 35.67 ± 0.07 μg/mL), as well as pancreatic lipase (IC50 = 50.27 ± 1.51 μg/mL) in a dose-dependent (15-240 µg/mL) trend. The infusion also inhibited the non-enzymatic glycation process, adsorbed glucose effectively, and enhanced glucose uptake in yeast cell solutions at increasing concentrations. Molecular docking analysis showed strong binding affinity between HPLC-quantified compounds (quercetin, caffeic acid, gallic acid, and catechin) of C. gratissimus herbal tea and the studied digestive enzymes. Moreover, the herbal tea product did not present cytotoxicity on 3T3-L1 cell lines. Results from this study suggest that C. gratissimus herbal tea could improve glucose homeostasis and support its local usage as a potential anti-hyperglycemic and anti-obesogenic agent. Further in vivo and molecular studies are required to bolster the results from this study.

Abstract
CLINICAL RELEVANCE Retinopathy is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus and is the leading cause of vision loss in the working middle-aged population. BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the value of neopterin and orexin-A levels in patients with diabetes mellitus with different stages of diabetic retinopathy and without diabetic retinopathy and to compare those findings with results from healthy individuals without diabetes mellitus. METHODS In total, 65 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 22 healthy individuals without diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this prospective study. The participants were separated into four subgroups. The first subgroup included 25 patients without diabetic retinopathy, the second subgroup included 20 patients non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, the third subgroup included 20 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and the fourth subgroup included 22 healthy individuals without diabetes mellitus as controls. Serum neopterin and orexin-A levels were analysed and compared among the groups. RESULTS The age and gender of the participants between the four subgroups were not statistically significantly different (p > 0.05). The mean neopterin levels were significantly higher in patients included in the diabetes mellitus subgroups compared with the controls (p < 0.001). Neopterin levels significantly increased as diabetic retinopathy progressed within the diabetes mellitus subgroups. Mean orexin-A levels were significantly lower in the diabetes mellitus subgroups compared with the controls (p < 0.001); however, orexin-A levels were not significantly different within the diabetes mellitus subgroups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Patients with diabetes mellitus have higher serum neopterin and lower serum orexin-A levels compared with healthy individuals without diabetes mellitus. Moreover, serum neopterin levels increase with progression of diabetic retinopathy.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes is defined as hyperglycaemia first detected during pregnancy at glucose concentrations that are less than those of overt diabetes. Around 14% of pregnancies globally are affected by gestational diabetes; its prevalence varies with differences in risk factors and approaches to screening and diagnosis; and it is increasing in parallel with obesity and type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes direct costs are US$1·6 billion in the USA alone, largely due to complications including hypertensive disorders, preterm delivery, and neonatal metabolic and respiratory consequences. Between 30% and 70% of gestational diabetes is diagnosed in early pregnancy (ie, early gestational diabetes defined by hyperglycaemia before 20 weeks of gestation). Early gestational diabetes is associated with worse pregnancy outcomes compared with women diagnosed with late gestational diabetes (hyperglycaemia from 24 weeks to 28 weeks of gestation). Randomised controlled trials show benefits of treating gestational diabetes from 24 weeks to 28 weeks of gestation. The WHO 2013 recommendations for diagnosing gestational diabetes (one-step 75 gm 2-h oral glucose tolerance test at 24-28 weeks of gestation) are largely based on the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes Study, which confirmed the linear association between pregnancy complications and late-pregnancy maternal glycaemia: a phenomenon that has now also been shown in early pregnancy. Recently, the Treatment of Booking Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (TOBOGM) trial showed benefit in diagnosis and treatment of early gestational diabetes for women with risk factors. Given the diabesity epidemic, evidence for gestational diabetes heterogeneity by timing and subtype, and advances in technology, a life course precision medicine approach is urgently needed, using evidence-based prevention, diagnostic, and treatment strategies.

Abstract
CONTEXT Low-dose sulfonylureas (SUs) have been found to augment the classical incretin effect, increase glucose sensitivity and late phase incretin potentiation. OBJECTIVE To evaluate potential synergy between low-dose SU plus a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) inhibitor. METHODS Unblinded randomized crossover study at the Clinical Research Centre, University of Dundee. Thirty participants with T2DM (HbA1c < 64 mmol/mol) were treated with diet or metformin. Participants completed 4, 14-day blocks in a random order: control, gliclazide 20 mg (SU), sitagliptin 100 mg (DPP4 inhibitor [DPP4i]), or combination (SUDPP4i). A mixed meal test was conducted after each intervention. The primary outcome was the effect of treatment on beta-cell glucose sensitivity. Secondary outcomes included frequency of glucose <3 mmol/L on continuous glucose monitoring, subanalyses by genotype (KNCJ11 E23K), gender, and body mass index. RESULTS SU combination with DPP4i showed additive effect on glucose lowering: mean glucose area under the curve (mean 95% CI) (mmol/L) was control 11.5 (10.7-12.3), DPP4i 10.2 (9.4-11.1), SU 9.7 (8.9-10.5), SUDPP4i 8.7 (7.9-9.5) (P < .001). Glucose sensitivity mirrored the additive effect (pmol min-1 m-2 mM-1): control 71.5 (51.1-91.9), DPP4i 75.9 (55.7-96.0), SU 86.3 (66.1-106.4), SUDPP4i 94.1 (73.9-114.3) (P = .04). The additive effect was seen in men but not women. Glucose time in range <3 mmol/L on continuous glucose monitoring (%) was unaffected: control 1 (2-4), DPP4i 2 (3-6), SU 1 (0-4), SUDPP4i 3 (2-7) (P = .65). CONCLUSION Low-dose sulfonylurea plus DPP4i has a potent glucose-lowering effect through augmentation of beta-cell function. A double-blind randomized controlled trial would formalize efficacy and safety of this combination, which may avoid negative aspects of SU.

Paul RK, Raza K. Natural hypoglycaemic bioactives: Newer avenues and newer possibilities. Phytother Res 2024. [PMID: 38990182 DOI: 10.1002/ptr.8281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 06/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
The incidences of endocrine and metabolic disorders like diabetes have increased worldwide. Several proposed molecular pathways mechanisms for the management of diabetes have been identified, but glycaemic control is still a challenging task in the drug discovery process. Most of the drug discovery processes lead to numerous scaffolds that are prominent in natural products. The review deals with the natural bioactives as an α-amylase inhibitors, α-glucosidase inhibitors, protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors, G-protein coupled receptors-40 agonists, PPAR-γ agonists and the activators of 5'-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase and glucokinase. So, in this review, we focused on the hypoglycaemic bioactives, which will assist scientific developers, traditional medicinal practitioners, and readers to discover some potent antidiabetic molecules. Strategies like chemometric approaches, scaffold hopping, and total synthesis of natural products by group modification or ring opening/closing mechanism could be useful for the development of novel hit/lead antidiabetic molecules. The study concludes that each phyto molecule inherits a potential to get explored by repurposing techniques for various antidiabetic targets and offer an alternative antidiabetic therapeutic medicinal potential.

Abstract
Background Apelin is one of the endogenous peptides that play a key role in the homeostasis of cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the correlation between apelin levels and epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in patients with stable angina and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Materials and Methods In a case-control study, 90 patients nominated for angiography were enrolled in the study and divided into three groups: healthy subjects without angiographic findings (Con), stable angina pectoris group (SAP), and acute AMI group. Data collected from all subjects included biochemical, echocardiographic, and angiographical parameters. The Gensini score analyzed the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Results A decrease in adjusted apelin levels was evident in the AMI and SAP groups compared with healthy individuals (for both P < 0.001), especially in the AMI group. In addition, a detectable negative association was identified between apelin and Gensini score (r = -0.288, P = 0.006), Ck-MB (r = -0.300, P = 0.004), EFT (r = -0.300, P = 0.004), and troponin-T (r = -0.288, P = 0.006). Conclusion Myocardial injury in patients with CAD appears to play a significant role in apelin concentration independent of the role of adipose tissue, which requires further studies.

Abstract
Objectives Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) face unique challenges in glycaemic control due to the complexity and uniqueness of the dietary structure in China, especially in terms of postprandial glycaemic response (PPGR). This study aimed to establish a personalized model for predicting PPGR in patients with T1D. Materials and methods Data provided by the First People's Hospital of Yunnan Province, 13 patients with T1D, were recruited and provided with an intervention for at least two weeks. All patients were asked to wear a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device under free-living conditions during the study period. To tackle the challenge of incomplete data from wearable devices for CGM measurements, the GAIN method was used in this paper to achieve a more rational interpolation process. In this study, patients' PPGRs were calculated, and a LightGBM prediction model was constructed based on a Bayesian hyperparameter optimisation algorithm and a random search algorithm, which integrated glucose measurement, insulin dose, dietary nutrient content, blood measurement and anthropometry as inputs. Results The experimental outcomes revealed that the PPGR prediction model presented in this paper demonstrated superior accuracy (R=0.63) compared to both the carbohydrate content only model (R=0.14) and the baseline model emulating the standard of care for insulin administration (R=0.43). In addition, the interpretation of the model using the SHAP method showed that blood glucose levels at meals and blood glucose trends 30 minutes before meals were the most important features of the model. Conclusion The proposed model offers a heightened precision in predicting PPGR in patients with T1D, so it can better guide the diet plan and insulin intake dose of patients with T1D.

Arbutin intervention ameliorates memory impairment in a rat model of lysolecethin induced demyelination: Neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Behav Brain Res 2024; 469:115041.

Abstract
Cognitive impairment (CI) and memory deficit are prevalent manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study explores the therapeutic potential of arbutin on memory deficits using a rat hippocampal demyelination model induced by lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). Demyelination was induced by bilateral injection of 1% LPC into the CA1 area of the hippocampus, and the treated group received daily arbutin injections (50 mg/kg, i.p) for two weeks. Arbutin significantly improved memory impairment 14 days post-demyelination as assessed by Morris water maze test. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated that arbutin reduced demyelination suppressed pro-inflammatory markers (IL-1β, TNF-α) and increased anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. Arbutin also diminished astrocyte activation, decreased iNOS, enhanced anti-oxidative factors (Nrf2, HO-1), and exhibited neuroprotective effects by elevating myelin markers (MBP) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). These findings propose arbutin as a potential therapeutic candidate for multiple sclerosis-associated memory deficits, warranting further clinical exploration.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a worldwide-concerning disease with a rising prevalence. There are many ongoing studies aimed at finding new and effective treatments. Ellagic acid (EA) is a natural polyphenolic compound abundant in certain fruits and vegetables. It is the objective of this investigation to assess the effectiveness and preventive mechanisms of EA on DM and associated complications. This systematic review used PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar as search databases using a predetermined protocol from inception to June 2024. We assessed all related English studies, including in vitro, in vivo, and clinical trials. EA counteracted DM and its complications by diminishing inflammation, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, apoptosis, insulin resistance, obesity, lipid profile, and histopathological alterations. Several mechanisms contributed to the anti-diabetic effect of EA, the most significant being the upregulation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-γ), protein kinase B, and downregulation of nuclear factor-kappa-B (NF-κB) gene expression. EA also revealed protective effects against diabetes complications, such as diabetic-induced hepatic damage, testicular damage, endothelial dysfunction, muscle dysfunction, retinopathy, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, neuropathy, and behavioral deficit. Administration of EA could have various protective effects in preventing, treating, and alleviating DM and its complications. Although it could be considered a cost-effective, safe, and accessible treatment, to fully establish the effectiveness of EA as a medication for DM, it is crucial to conduct further well-designed studies.

[PMID: 38966878 DOI: 10.1111/andr.13687] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes damages the seminal vesicle tissues leading to a decrease in seminal fluid secretion, so investigations are ongoing to identify specific therapeutic approaches to address diabetes-induced damage to seminal vesicles. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the secretory dysfunction of seminal vesicles and how curcumin can ameliorate this dysfunction. MATERIALS AND METHODS First, 40 diabetic males (DM group) and 40 nondiabetic males (control group) underwent seminal vesicle ultrasound evaluation and ejaculate volume measurements. Then, the effects of curcumin on seminal vesicle function were investigated in a diabetic rat model. Fifty 8-week-old SPF-grade SD rats were categorized into five groups: control, DM (diabetes mellitus), low-dose CUR (curcumin 50 mg/kg/d), medium-dose CUR (curcumin 100 mg/kg/d), and high-dose CUR (curcumin 150 mg/kg/d). After a month-long diet with varying curcumin doses, key parameters such as body weight, blood glucose levels, seminal vesicle volume, and seminal fluid secretion were measured. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to assess differences in gene expression and structural changes in rat seminal vesicle tissues were examined by HE staining. Finally, human seminal vesicle cell lines were cultured and divided into five groups (HG-CON, HG-CUR-5 µM, HG-CUR-10 µM, HG-CUR-20 µM, and HG-CUR-50 µM) to measure the fructose levels in the seminal vesicle cell culture fluids and evaluate the expression of CASP1, GSDMD, and TRPV6. Post TRPV6 interference, variations in the gene expression of CASP1, GSDMD, and TRPV6 were monitored. RESULTS Diabetic patients exhibited a notable reduction in seminal vesicle volume and ejaculate volume compared with the control group, with a direct correlation between the decrease in ejaculate and seminal vesicle volume. Animal studies demonstrated that curcumin supplementation significantly augmented seminal vesicle volume in diabetic rats and notably improved their seminal vesicle secretory dysfunction, particularly in the high-dose curcumin group. Transcriptome sequencing and experimental verification pinpointed the differential expression of TPRV6 and pyroptosis-associated genes (CASP1, GSDMD), with reduced TRPV6 expression but increased markers of pyroptosis (CASP1 and GSDMD) in diabetic rats. Curcumin treatment reversed these effects with an increase in TRPV6 and a decrease in GSDMD and CASP1. Cell transfection experiments indicated that TRPV6 downregulation increased GSDMD and CASP1 gene expression. CONCLUSION Curcumin effectively activates TRPV6, thereby diminishing pyroptosis in the seminal vesicle tissues of diabetic rats. This activation not only leads to an increase in the seminal vesicle volume but also significantly ameliorates the seminal vesicle secretory dysfunction in diabetic rats.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex heterogenic metabolic with a wide range of etiology. Purinergic receptors have pivotal roles in different processes and are hypothesized to have roles in the pathogenesis of T2DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred subjects affected by T2DM and 300 healthy subjects were genotyped by amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). SPSS V16.0 was recruited for statistical analysis. RESULTS The findings showed that the G allele of rs25644A > G increases the risk of T2DM in our population statistically (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.14-1.99, p = 0.003). This allele in some genotype models, including the dominant model, caused an increase in the risk of T2DM. The interaction of genotypes between studied variants in the P2XR4 gene increased the risk of T2DM. Haplotype analysis showed that Ars1169727/Grs25644 haplotype caused an increase in the risk of T2DM. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that rs25644A > G plays a role in our population's increased risk of T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although there have been many studies on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) treatment, there is still a knowledge gap regarding the comparative cost-effectiveness of metformin and insulin in the treatment phase. Existing studies have focused on treatment efficacy and drug safety, but relatively little has been explored regarding cost-effectiveness analysis. In particular, no comprehensive study has evaluated the cost-effectiveness of metformin and insulin for GDM treatment. Therefore, this study aimed to fill this knowledge gap by conducting a cost-effectiveness analysis of these two treatments for GDM. METHODS A decision-analytic model was used to compare the cost-effectiveness of metformin and insulin in China. Probabilities, costs, and utilities were derived from the literature. The cost and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were calculated using the roll-back method. The strategy was considered cost-effective if the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was below the willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold of ¥242,938 per QALY. Sensitivity analyses were also conducted to assess the robustness of the results. RESULTS The roll-back analysis indicated that insulin was not cost-effective compared to metformin, resulting in increased costs and decreased QALYs, with a negative ICER. These findings suggested that metformin is a cost-effective option than insulin. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis showed that the model was robust. CONCLUSIONS Compared with insulin, metformin is a cost-effective treatment option for GDM.

Abstract
AIM Parents in the caregiving role for children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are affected from many aspects including physically, psychologically, socially, financially and spiritually. The aim of this study was to determine the factors affecting the care burden and life satisfaction of parents caring for a child with T1D and to examine the relationship between them. METHOD This research was completed with 293 parents of children with T1D aged 3-18 years, attending the pediatric health and diseases clinics in two state hospitals located in [redacted for peer review] from May 2023 to September 2023. For collection of data, a survey form, the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and Adult Life Satisfaction Scale (ALSS) were used. Analysis of data used percentages, means, one-way ANOVA (post-hoc Tukey test), independent samples t-test, regression and correlation tests. Statistical significance level was accepted as p < 0.05. RESULTS Parents had mean care burden scale scores of 56.30 ± 12.4, with mean adult life satisfaction scale scores of 69.39 ± 11.61. According to the regression analysis results, the ZBI scores were affected by the child's general health status after T1D diagnosis, impact on responsibilities after T1D diagnosis and diabetes management skills (p < 0.05). ALSS scores were affected by the variables of caregiver assessment of health status before and after the child's T1D diagnosis, income level, impact on responsibilities after T1D diagnosis and diabetes management skills (p < 0.05). There was a negative weak level of significant correlation identified between the ZBI and ALSS total scores (r = -0.36; p < 0.05). CONCLUSION General health status after receiving T1D diagnosis, impact on responsibilities after diabetes diagnosis and diabetes management skills are factors affecting the care burden and life satisfaction of parents. Additionally, a negative relationship was determined between parents' care burden and life satisfaction. Nurses should develop family-centered care plans and work to reduce factors increasing care burden while increasing life satisfaction.

Abstract
Consumers rely on product labels to make healthy choices, especially with regard to the glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL), which identify foods that stabilize blood sugar. Employing both thermal and nonthermal processing techniques can potentially reduce the GI, contributing to improved blood sugar regulation and overall metabolic health. This study concentrates on the most current advances in GI-reduction food processing technologies. Food structure combines fiber, healthy fats, and proteins to slow digestion, reducing GI. The influence of thermal approaches on the physical and chemical modification of starch led to decreased GI. The duration of heating and the availability of moisture also determine the degree of hydrolysis of starch and the glycemic effects on food. At a lower temperature, the parboiling revealed less gelatinization and increased moisture. The internal temperature of the product is raised during thermal and nonthermal treatment, speeds up retrogradation, and reduces the rate of starch breakdown.

Rawat S, Bansal N, Yadav R, Goyal S, Nagpal J. Out-of-pocket direct cost of ambulatory care of type 2 diabetes in Delhi: Estimates from the Delhi diabetes community-II (DEDICOM-II) survey. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:103089. [PMID: 39126763 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2024.103089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIM Much of the cost data from India is restricted to patients recruited purely from healthcare institutions and do not explore determinants. Therefore, the out of pocket expenditure for ambulatory diabetes care was evaluated in Delhi. METHODS The DEDICOM-II survey used a two-stage probability-proportionate-to-size(systematic) cluster design. Thirty clusters were chosen to recruit 25 to 30 subjects per area. We used questionnaires to estimate the direct out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE) on drugs, investigations, consultation and travel, excluding hospitalization, and then analysed its determinants and impact on quality of care. RESULTS We enrolled 843 subjects with a mean age of 53.1 years. The annual direct OOPE on ambulatory care of diabetes was US$ 116.3 (95 % CI 93.8-138.9) or INR 8074.8 (95 % CI 6512.9-9636.7), corresponding to 3.6 %(95 % CI 2.9-4.3) of the yearly family income. The burden of expenses was disproportionately higher for those visiting private providers from lower-income groups(19.1 %). Duration of disease and treatment with insulin predicted higher annual OOPE while care at public facilities was less expensive. Cost was higher for those adhering to the recommended processes of care. Quality of care was better for institutional care and worse for alternative medicine or self-care. CONCLUSIONS The study provides representative estimates of the high cost of diabetes management in Delhi across the socio-economic and care provider spectra. Poorer patients suffer a high financial burden from diabetes, highlighting the need for enhancing equity in diabetes care.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine how the nursing approach based on Meleis's transition theory affects the self-management and adjustment to the illness among newly diagnosed diabetic patients. The study was conducted as one-group and pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The data were collected using the Introductory Questionnaire, the Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire (DSMQ), and the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self Report (PAIS-SR). It was determined that there was a positive increase in the total score of the DSMQ after the intervention, and a positive decrease in the total score of the PAIS-SR, and the difference between the scores were statistically significant (p < .05).

Abstract
Over the years, several international guidelines have been developed by specialist organizations for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, these guidelines vary and lack consensus on what level of glycemia defines GDM and worryingly, there is now evidence of over- or- under-diagnosis of women with GDM by current criteria. Towards this end, the National Priorities Research Program (NPRP) funded a program of research aimed at elucidating the problem with GDM diagnosis. It was determined, on completion of the project, that the solution required diagnosis of graded levels of dysglycemia in pregnancy and not just a diagnosis of presence or absence of GDM. A new diagnostic criterion (called the NPRP criterion) was created based on a single numerical summary of the three readings from the oral glucose tolerance test (GTT) that diagnosed women in pregnancy into four levels: normal, impaired, GDM and high risk GDM. This paper now examines existing GDM criteria vis-à-vis the NPRP criterion. It is noted that no significant change has happened over the years for existing criteria except for a gradual reduction in the threshold values of individual time-points or the number of time points, bringing us towards over-diagnosis of GDM in pregnancy. The new criterion unifies all readings from the GTT into one numerical value and, because it results in four levels of glycemia, represents a new way forwards for GDM diagnosis and can potentially reduce the rates of under diagnosis and over diagnosis of GDM.

Prevalence of latent and overt polyautoimmunity in type 1 diabetes: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetes Metab Syndr 2024; 18:103087. [PMID: 39074403 DOI: 10.1016/j.dsx.2024.103087] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 07/15/2024] [Accepted: 07/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/31/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients afflicted by type 1 diabetes (T1D) exhibit polyautoimmunity (PolyA). However, the frequency and distribution of PolyA in T1D is still unknown. OBJECTIVE We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to define the prevalence of latent and overt PolyA in individuals with T1D. METHODS Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search across medical databases identified studies on latent and overt PolyA in T1D. Two researchers independently screened, extracted data, and assessed study quality. A random effects model was utilized to calculate the pooled prevalence, along with its corresponding 95 % confidence interval (CI), for latent PolyA and overt PolyA. Meta-regression analysis was conducted to study the effect of study designs, age, sex, and duration of disease on pooled prevalence. RESULTS A total of 158 articles, encompassing a diverse composition of study designs were scrutinized. The analysis included 270,890 individuals with a confirmed diagnosis of T1D. The gender was evenly distributed (50.30 % male). Notably, our analysis unveiled an overt PolyA prevalence rate of 8.50 % (95 % CI, 6.77 to 10.62), with North America having the highest rates (14.50 %, 95 % CI, 7.58 to 24.89). This PolyA profile was further characterized by a substantial incidence of concurrent autoimmune thyroid disease (7.44 %, 95 % CI, 5.65 to 9.74). Moreover, we identified a notable prevalence of latent PolyA in the T1D population, quantified at 14.45 % (95 % CI, 11.17 to 18.49) being most frequent in Asia (23.29 %, 95 % CI, 16.29 to 32.15) and Oceania (21.53 %, 95 % CI, 16.48 to 27.62). Remarkably, this latent PolyA phenomenon primarily featured an array of autoantibodies, including rheumatoid factor, followed by Ro52, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, and thyroglobulin antibodies. Duration of the disease was associated with a highest frequency of latent (β: 0.0456, P-value: 0.0140) and overt PolyA (β: 0.0373, P-value: 0.0152). No difference in the pooled prevalence by study design was observed. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis constitutes a substantial advancement in the realm of early detection of PolyA in the context of T1D. Individuals with T1D should regularly undergo assessments to identify potential concurrent autoimmune diseases, especially as they age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Short term studies have reported that yoga could be beneficial in preventing diabetes. We evaluated long term effectiveness of yoga in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. METHODS This open labelled randomized controlled trial was conducted across five medical centers. Adults diagnosed with prediabetes following an oral glucose tolerance test were randomly assigned to receive a structured yoga intervention consisting of 40 minutes of specific yoga asanas pranayama in addition to standard lifestyle measures or standard lifestyle measures alone. The primary outcome of incident diabetes was compared in both groups at the end of the 3-year intervention period using intention-to-treat analysis. RESULTS A total of 974 individuals were randomized (488 to the yoga + lifestyle group-group1 and 486 to the Lifestyle alone group-group2). After 3 years of follow-up, there was a 39.2 % reduction of the relative risk of diabetes with yoga (11.5 % in group1 vs 18.9 % in group 2). Cox proportional hazard model analysis revealed a significantly higher odds ratio of 1.74 (95 % CI 1.25-2.43) of developing diabetes in the lifestyle alone group compared to those who also performed yoga. Adherence to yoga was good with 77 % of individuals performing yoga for more than 75 % of the time. CONCLUSIONS Structured yoga intervention along with standard lifestyle measures significantly reduces risk of type 2 diabetes when compared with those given lifestyle measures alone.

Abstract
Adenosine deaminase (ADA) catalyzes the irreversible deamination of adenosine (ADO) to inosine and regulates ADO concentration. ADA ubiquitously expresses in various tissues to mediate ADO-receptor signaling. A significant increase in plasma ADA activity has been shown to be associated with the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Here, we show that elevated plasma ADA activity is a compensated response to high level of ADO in type 2 diabetes mellitus and plays an essential role in the regulation of glucose homeostasis. Supplementing with more ADA, instead of inhibiting ADA, can reduce ADO levels and decrease hepatic gluconeogenesis. ADA restores a euglycemic state and recovers functional islets in db/db and high-fat streptozotocin diabetic mice. Mechanistically, ADA catabolizes ADO and increases Akt and FoxO1 phosphorylation independent of insulin action. ADA lowers blood glucose at a slower rate and longer duration compared to insulin, delaying or blocking the incidence of insulinogenic hypoglycemia shock. Finally, ADA suppresses gluconeogenesis in fasted mice and insulin-deficient diabetic mice, indicating the ADA regulating gluconeogenesis is a universal biological mechanism. Overall, these results suggest that ADA is expected to be a new therapeutic target for diabetes.

Critically Ill Older Adults' Representation in Intervention Trials: A Systematic Review. Crit Care Explor 2024; 6:e1107.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Older adults may be under-represented in critical care research, and results may not apply to this specific population. Our primary objective was to evaluate the prevalence of inclusion of older adults across critical care trials focused on common ICU conditions or interventions. Our secondary objective was to evaluate whether older age was used as a stratification variable for randomization or outcome analysis. DESIGN SETTING AND SUBJECTS We performed a systematic review of previously published systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in critical care. We searched PubMed, Ovid, CENTRAL, and Cochrane from 2009 to 2022. Systematic reviews of any interventions across five topics: acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis/shock, nutrition, sedation, and mobilization were eligible. MAIN RESULTS We identified 216 systematic reviews and included a total of 253 RCTs and 113,090 patients. We extracted baseline characteristics and the reported proportion of older adults. We assessed whether any upper age limit was an exclusion criterion for trials, whether age was used for stratification during randomization or data analysis, and if age-specific subgroup analysis was present. The most prevalent topic was sepsis (78 trials, 31%), followed by nutrition (62 trials, 25%), ARDS (39 trials, 15%), mobilization (38 trials, 15%), and sedation (36 trials, 14%). Eighteen trials (7%) had exclusion criteria based on older age. Age distribution with information on older adults prevalence was given in six trials (2%). Age was considered in the analysis of ten trials (5%) using analytic methods to evaluate the outcome stratified by age. Conclusions In this systematic review, the proportion of older critically ill patients is undetermined, and it is unclear how age is or is not an effect modifier or to what extent the results are valid for older adult groups. Reporting age is important to guide clinicians in personalizing care. These results highlight the importance of incorporating older critically ill patients in future trials to ensure the results are generalizable to this growing population.

Abstract
Legumes are widely appreciated for their abundant reserves of insoluble dietary fiber, which are characterized by their high fiber content and diverse bioactive compounds. Insoluble dietary fiber in leguminous crops is primarily localized in the structural cell walls and outer integument and exhibits strong hydrophilic properties that enable water absorption and volumetric expansion, resulting in increased food bulk and viscosity. This contributes to enhanced satiety and accelerated gastrointestinal transit. The benefits of legume insoluble dietary fiber extend to its notable antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, as well as its ability to modulate the composition of the intestinal microbiota, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while suppressing the proliferation of harmful pathogens, thereby promoting optimal intestinal health. It is highly valued as a valuable thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier, contributing to the texture and stability of a wide range of food products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in a developing country like Thailand has rarely been conducted in long-term cohorts, especially among the working-age population. We aim to assess the prevalence and incidence of risk factors and their associations underlying NCDs, especially type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among healthcare workers enrolled in the Siriraj Health (SIH) study cohort. METHODS The SIH study was designed as a longitudinal cohort and conducted at Siriraj hospital, Thailand. A total of 5,011 participants (77% women) were recruited and follow-up. Physical examinations, blood biochemical analyses, family history assessments, behavior evaluations, and genetics factors were assessed. RESULTS The average age was 35.44±8.24 years and 51% of participants were overweight and obese. We observed that men were more likely to have a prevalence of T2DM and dyslipidemia (DLP) compared to women. Aging was significantly associated with pre-diabetes and T2DM (P<0.001). Additionally, aging, metabolic syndrome, and elevated triglycerides were associated with the development of pre-diabetes and T2DM. The minor T allele of the rs7903146(C/T) and rs4506565 (A/T) were associated with a high risk of developing pre-diabetes with odds ratios of 2.74 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.32-23.3) and 2.71 (95% CI: 0.32-23.07), respectively; however, these associations were statistically insignificant (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The findings of the SIH study provide a comprehensive understanding of the health status, risk factors, and genetic factors related to T2DM in a specific working population and highlight areas for further research and intervention to address the growing burden of T2DM and NCDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global rise in diabetes, particularly in India, poses a significant public health challenge, with factors such as limited awareness, financial strain, and cultural considerations hindering its effective management. Although lifestyle changes have shown promising results, their consistent implementation and maintenance continue to pose challenges. Most studies have focused primarily on dietary modifications, overlooking other essential aspects of lifestyle intervention. The DiRemI study aims to address these gaps by evaluating the efficacy of a comprehensive one-year program that combines diet, exercise, psychological support, and medical management to achieve weight loss, diabetes remission, and improved glycemic control among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in India, while also considering the unique needs of the Indian population. METHODS The DiRemI study is a prospective, open-label, matched-group trial aimed at assessing the impact of a one-year online integrated intensive lifestyle intervention (ILI) comprising dietary modifications, physical activity, psychological support, and medical management on weight loss and remission in adult T2D patients (aged 30-70 years), with a body mass index (BMI) between 25 and 35 kg/m2, and disease duration of <15 years. ILI will be compared with routine medical care (RMC). Participants will be recruited from three clinics: one providing ILI and two others providing RMC. The co-primary outcome will be weight loss and remission at 12 months, with a follow-up at 18 months. The proposed sample size is 360 participants (180 each in intervention and control group). DISCUSSION The DiRemI study represents the first large-scale remission study in India to show the effectiveness of an integrated approach in the remission and management of T2D and its complications. The findings of this study hold the potential to report evidence-based strategies for managing T2D both in India and globally, thus alleviating the substantial burden of diabetes on public health systems.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease with a steadily increasing prevalence worldwide. Diabetes affects the function of many organs, including the skin. Pharmacotherapy for T2DM is mainly based on oral hypoglycemic drugs. The therapeutic strategy is chosen taking into account the individual patient's characteristics, among other comorbidities. Antidiabetic drugs can induce cutaneous adverse reactions (CADRs) ranging in severity from mild erythema to serious disorders such as DRESS or Stevens-Johnson syndrome. CADRs can result from hypersensitivity to the drug but can also be related to the mechanism of action of the drug or cross-reactivity with drugs of similar structure. This paper reviews CADRs induced by oral antidiabetic drugs, considering their dermatological manifestations and possible pathomechanisms. Particular attention was paid to specific dermatological conditions such as dipeptidylpeptidase 4 inhibitor-associated bullous pemphigoid or Fournier's gangrene associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor therapy. Knowledge of the dermatological manifestations of CADRs is important in clinical practice. Recognition of a skin lesion resulting from an adverse drug reaction allows for appropriate management, which in this case is primarily related to drug discontinuation. This is particularly important in the treatment of T2DM since this disease has a high prevalence in the elderly, who are at higher risk of adverse drug reactions.

Abstract
Background Serum trace elements and oxidative stress factors are related to diabetic microvascular complications. The study was to investigate the complex relationship between trace elements, oxidative stress factors, and the severity of microvascular complications of diabetes in older adults. Methods The present study included patients with or without type 2 diabetes, and blood glucose, blood lipids, trace elements (iron, magnesium, zinc), oxidative stress factors (malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC)) were evaluated. Risk factors for the severity of diabetic microvascular complications in older adults with diabetes were also estimated. Results There were statistically significant differences in fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), low density lipoprotein (LDL), glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc), MDA, NO, SOD, T-AOC, magnesium, and zinc between the two groups (P<0.05). Iron (rZinc = 0.147, rSOD = 0.180, rT-AOC = 0.193, P < 0.05) was positively correlated with zinc, SOD and T-AOC. Iron was negatively correlated with MDA (rMDA = -0.146, P < 0.05). Magnesium was positively correlated with SOD (rMagnesium = 0.147, P < 0.05). Zinc (rSOD = 0.616, rT-AOC = 0.575, P < 0.01) was positively correlated with SOD and T-AOC. Zinc (rMDA =-0.636, rNO=-0.616, P<0.01) was positively correlated with MDA and negatively correlated with NO. The course of disease (18.653, [5.726; 60.764], P <0.01), FBG (1.265, [1.059; 1.511], P <0.05), HbAlc (1.545, [1.431; 1.680], P <0.01), MDA (2.989, [1.900; 4.702], P <0.01) were risk factor for the severity of diabetic microvascular complications. Zinc (0.680, [0.503; 0.919], P < 0.05) and SOD (0.820, [0.698; 0.964], P < 0.05) were protective factors for the severity of diabetic microvascular complications. Conclusion Serum trace elements are related to oxidative stress levels in older adults with type 2 diabetes. The more stable trace element in older adults with diabetes, the lower the oxidative stress and the fewer microvascular complications of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of diabetic gastrointestinal diseases is increasing year by year. This study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between antidiabetic medications and gastrointestinal disorders, with the goal of reducing the incidence of diabetes-related gastrointestinal diseases and exploring the potential repurposing of antidiabetic drugs. METHODS We employed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (TSMR) design to investigate the causal association between antidiabetic medications and gastrointestinal disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastric ulcer (GU), chronic gastritis, acute gastritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, gastric cancer (GC), functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), diverticulosis, and colorectal cancer (CRC). To identify potential inhibitors of antidiabetic drug targets, we collected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, DPP-4 inhibitors, insulin, and its analogs, thiazolidinediones, sulfonylureas, and alpha-glucosidase inhibitors from published genome-wide association study statistics. We then conducted a drug-target Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using inverse variance weighting (IVW) as the primary analytical method to assess the impact of these inhibitors on gastrointestinal disorders. Additionally, diabetes was selected as a positive control. RESULTS Sulfonylureas were found to significantly reduce the risk of CD (IVW: OR [95% CI] = 0.986 [0.978, 0.995], p = 1.99 × 10- 3), GERD (IVW: OR [95% CI] = 0.649 [0.452, 0.932], p = 1.90 × 10- 2), and chronic gastritis (IVW: OR [95% CI] = 0.991 [0.982, 0.999], p = 4.50 × 10- 2). However, they were associated with an increased risk of GU development (IVW: OR [95%CI] = 2 0.761 [1.259, 6.057], p = 1 0.12 × 10- 2). CONCLUSIONS The results indicated that sulfonylureas had a positive effect on the prevention of CD, GERD, and chronic gastritis but a negative effect on the development of gastric ulcers. However, our research found no causal evidence for the impact of metformin, GLP-1 agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors, DPP 4 inhibitors, insulin and its analogs, thiazolidinediones, or alpha-glucosidase inhibitors on gastrointestinal diseases.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Undiagnosed diabetes poses significant public health challenges in Ghana. Numerous factors may influence the prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes among adults, and therefore, using a model that takes into account the intricate network of these relationships should be considered. Our goal was to evaluate fasting plasma levels, a critical indicator of diabetes, and the associated direct and indirect associated or protective factors. METHODS This research employed a cross-sectional survey to sample 1200 adults aged 25-70 years who perceived themselves as healthy and had not been previously diagnosed with diabetes from 13 indigenous communities within the Cape Coast Metropolis, Ghana. Diabetes was diagnosed based on the American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria for fasting plasma glucose, and lipid profiles were determined using Mindray equipment (August 2022, China). A stepwise WHO questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic and lifestyle variables. We analyzed the associations among the exogenous, mediating, and endogenous variables using a generalized structural equation model (GSEM). RESULTS Overall, the prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes in the Cape Coast Metropolis was found to be 14.2% and 3.84%, respectively. In the sex domain, females had a higher prevalence of prediabetes (15.33%) and diabetes (5.15%) than males (12.62% and 1.24%, respectively). Rural areas had the highest prevalence, followed by peri-urban areas, whereas urban areas had the lowest prevalence. In the GSEM results, we found that body mass index (BMI), triglycerides (TG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and female sex were direct predictive factors for prediabetes and diabetes, based on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels. Indirect factors influencing diabetes and prediabetes through waist circumference (WC) included childhood overweight status, family history, age 35-55 and 56-70, and moderate and high socioeconomic status. High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, childhood overweight, low physical activity, female sex, moderate and high socioeconomic status, and market trading were also associated with high BMI, indirectly influencing prediabetes and diabetes. Total cholesterol, increased TG levels, WC, age, low physical activity, and rural dwellers were identified as indirectly associated factors with prediabetes and diabetes through SBP. Religion, male sex, and alcohol consumption were identified as predictive factors for GGT, indirectly influencing prediabetes and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes in indigenous communities is directly influenced by blood lipid, BMI, SBP, and alcohol levels. Childhood obesity, physical inactivity, sex, socioeconomic status, and family history could indirectly influence diabetes development. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and health-sector stakeholders, enabling them to understand the factors associated with diabetes development and implement necessary public health interventions and personalized care strategies for prevention and management in Ghana.

Abstract
The gut microbiota is one of the essential contributors of the pathogenesis and progress of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Compared with first-line drug therapy, probiotic supplementation has emerged as a viable and secure therapeutic approach for managing IBD through the regulation of both the immune system and gut microbiota. Nevertheless, the efficacy of oral probiotic supplements is hindered by their susceptibility to the gastrointestinal barrier, leading to diminished bioavailability and restricted intestinal colonization. Here, we developed a bacteria-microalgae symbiosis system (EcN-SP) for targeted intestinal delivery of probiotics and highly effective treatment of colitis. The utilization of mircroalge Spirulina platensis (SP) as a natural carrier for the probiotic Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) demonstrated potential benefits in promoting EcN proliferation, facilitating effective intestinal delivery and colonization. The alterations in the binding affinity of EcN-SP within the gastrointestinal environment, coupled with the distinctive structural properties of the SP carrier, served to overcome gastrointestinal barriers, minimizing transgastric EcN loss and enabling sustained intestinal retention and colonization. The oral administration of EcN-SP could effectively treat IBD by reducing the expression of intestinal inflammatory factors, maintaining the intestinal barrier and regulating the balance of gut microbiota. This probiotic delivery approach is inspired by symbiotic interactions found in nature and offers advantages in terms of feasibility, safety, and efficacy, thus holding significant promise for the management of gastrointestinal disorders.
