Hu WS, Lin CL. Effect of anti-diabetic agent on interstitial lung disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. NAUNYN-SCHMIEDEBERG'S ARCHIVES OF PHARMACOLOGY 2024:10.1007/s00210-024-03296-0. [PMID: 39031184 DOI: 10.1007/s00210-024-03296-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024]
Abstract
The objective was to assess the protective role of anti-diabetic agent (ADA) in predicting interstitial lung disease (ILD) among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). We formed a cohort of DM patients between 2009 and 2016 using data from Taiwan. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportion hazards regression models were used to examine the effect of risk factor on the risk of developing ILD, presented as a hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Cox proportional hazard regression analysis for the risk of DM-associated ILD with joint effect of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4I), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2I) showed that SGLT2I, GLP-1 RA, and DPP-4I had a decreased risk of ILD with adjusted HR of 0.14 (0.11, 0.18), 0.29 (0.24, 0.35), and 0.64 (0.62, 0.67), respectively. DPP4I, GLP-1 RA, and SGLT2I could be considered to be introduced to this DM population for ILD risk reduction in DM, especially with SGLT2I usage.

Abstract
Growing evidence shows that the lung is an organ prone to injury by diabetes mellitus. However, the molecular mechanisms of these pulmonary complications have not yet been characterized comprehensively. To systematically study the effects of insulin deficiency and hyperglycaemia on the lung, we combined proteomics and lipidomics with quantitative histomorphological analyses to compare lung tissue samples from a clinically relevant pig model for mutant INS gene-induced diabetes of youth (MIDY) with samples from wild-type littermate controls. Among others, the level of pulmonary surfactant-associated protein A (SFTPA1), a biomarker of lung injury, was moderately elevated. Furthermore, key proteins related to humoral immune response and extracellular matrix organization were significantly altered in abundance. Importantly, a lipoxygenase pathway was dysregulated as indicated by 2.5-fold reduction of polyunsaturated fatty acid lipoxygenase ALOX15 levels, associated with corresponding changes in the levels of lipids influenced by this enzyme. Our multi-omics study points to an involvement of reduced ALOX15 levels and an associated lack of eicosanoid switching as mechanisms contributing to a proinflammatory milieu in the lungs of subjects with diabetes mellitus.

Deciphering the molecular mechanism of Bu Yang Huan Wu Decoction in interference with diabetic pulmonary fibrosis via regulating oxidative stress and lipid metabolism disorder. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 243:116061. [PMID: 38430615 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2023] [Revised: 01/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/17/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus type 2 and pulmonary fibrosis have been found to be closely related in clinical practice. Diabetic pulmonary fibrosis (DPF) is a complication of diabetes mellitus, but its treatment has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Bu Yang Huan Wu Decoction (BYHWD) is a well-known traditional Chinese prescription that has shown great efficacy in treating pulmonary fibrosis with hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. METHODS The active ingredients of BYHWD and the corresponding targets were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systematic Pharmacology Database (TCMSP) and SymMap2. Disease-related targets were obtained from the GeneCard, OMIM and CTD databases. GO enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment were carried out using the DAVID database. AutoDock Vina software was employed to perform molecular docking. Molecular dynamics simulations of proteinligand complexes were conducted by Gromacs. Animal experiments were further performed to validate the effects of BYHWD on the selected core targets, markers of oxidative stress, serum lipids, blood glucose and pulmonary fibrosis. RESULTS A total of 84 active ingredients and 830 target genes were screened in BYHWD, among which 56 target genes intersected with DPF-related targets. Network pharmacological analysis revealed that the active ingredients can regulate target genes such as IL-6, TNF-α, VEGFA and CASP3, mainly through AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway and TNF signaling pathway. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations suggested that IL6-astragaloside IV, IL6-baicalein, TNFα-astragaloside IV, and TNFα-baicalein docking complexes could bind stably. Animal experiments showed that BYHWD could reduce the expression of core targets such as VEGFA, CASP3, IL-6 and TNF-α. In addition, BYHWD could reduce blood glucose, lipid, and MDA levels in DPF while increasing the activities of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px. BYHWD attenuated the expression of HYP and collagen I, mitigating pathological damage and collagen deposition within lung tissue. CONCLUSIONS BYHWD modulates lipid metabolism disorders and oxidative stress by targeting the core targets of IL6, TNF-α, VEGFA and CASP3 through the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway, making it a potential therapy for DPF.

Abstract
Diabetes, a severe metabolic disease characterized by chronic hypoglycemia, poses debilitating and life-threatening risks of microvascular and macrovascular complications, including blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, and limb amputation. Addressing these complications is paramount, urging the development of interventions targeting diabetes-associated vascular dysfunctions. To effectively combat diabetes, a comprehensive understanding of the pathological mechanisms underlying complications and identification of precise therapeutic targets are imperative. Transglutaminase 2 (TGase2) is a multifunctional enzyme implicated in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders, fibrosis, and inflammatory conditions. TGase2 has recently emerged as a key player in both the pathogenesis and therapeutic intervention of diabetic complications. This review highlights TGase2 as a therapeutic target for diabetic complications and explores TGase2 inhibition as a promising therapeutic approach in their treatment.

Abstract
Although the short-term mortality of patients with COVID-19 infection and hyperglycemia has been well documented, there is little available data regarding longer-term prognosis. The presence of diabetes has not only influenced disease severity but has also impacted its transmission dynamics. In this study, we followed a historical cohort of patients without previous history of diabetes who presented with moderate to severe COVID-19 and were found to have hyperglycemia (random blood glucose > 140 mg/dL) at the time of admission. We evaluated the need for antidiabetic therapy in these patients at the end of 6 months and the risk factors associated with persistent hyperglycemia determined by monthly values of self-monitored blood glucose. Of the seventy participants who were followed telephonically, 54 (77%) continued to receive antidiabetic therapy or have persistent hyperglycemia (> 140 mg/dL) at the end of 6 months. Persistent hyperglycemia at the end of follow-up, was found to be associated with a higher blood glucose at presentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes (T2D) leads to serious respiratory problems. This study investigated the effectiveness of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on T2D-induced lung injuries at histopathological and molecular levels. METHODS Forty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into control (CTL), Diabetes (Db), exercise (Ex), and Diabetes + exercise (Db + Ex) groups. T2D was induced by a high-fat diet plus (35 mg/kg) of streptozotocin (STZ) administration. Rats in Ex and Db + Ex performed HIIT for eight weeks. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), Interleukin 10 (IL-10), BAX, Bcl2, Lecithin, Sphingomyelin (SPM) and Surfactant protein D (SPD) levels were measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels were measured in lung tissue. Lung histopathological alterations were assessed by using H&E and trichrome mason staining. RESULTS Diabetes was significantly associated with imbalance in pro/anti-inflammatory, pro/anti-apoptosis and redox systems, and reduced the SPD, lecithin sphingomyelin and alveolar number. Performing HIIT by diabetic animals increased Bcl2 (P < 0.05) and IL10 (P < 0.01) levels as well as surfactants components and TAC (P < 0.05) but decreased fasting blood glucose (P < 0.001), TNFα (P < 0.05), BAX (P < 0.05) and BAX/Bcl2 (P < 0.001) levels as well as MDA (P < 0.01) and MDA/TAC (P < 0.01) compared to the diabetic group. Furthermore, lung injury and fibrosis scores were increased by T2D and recovered in presence of HIIT. CONCLUSION These findings suggested that the attenuating effect of HIIT on diabetic lung injury mediated by reducing blood sugar, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis as well as improving pulmonary surfactants components.

Abstract
Introduction: Diabetic ulcers have become one of the major complications of diabetes mellitus (DM) and are a leading cause of death and disabling disease. However, current therapies are not effective enough to meet clinical needs. A traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, Pien Tze Huang (PZH), is known as a medicine that is used to treat diabetic ulcers. Methods: In this study, PZH (0.05 g/cm2 and 0.15 g/cm2) and the positive drug-rhEGF were topically administered in a high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic full-thickness incisional wounds, respectively. Wound healing was assessed by wound closure rate, two-photon microscope (SHG), staining with Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and Masson's trichrome (MTC). Then, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), western blotting, and immunofluorescence (IF), network analysis, were performed. Results and discussion: The results showed that PZH significantly accelerated wound healing, as well as enhanced the expression of collagen. RNA-seq analysis showed that PZH has functions on various biological processes, one of the key biological processes is inflammatory response. Tlr9, Klrk1, Nod2, Tlr2, and Ifng were identified as vital targets and the NF-κB signaling pathway was identified as the vital pathway. Additionally, PZH profoundly reduced the levels of Cleaved caspase-3 and promoted the expression of CD31 and TGF-β1. Mechanically, PZH significantly decreased expression of NKG2-D, NOD2, and TLR2, and further inhibited the activation of downstream NF-κB signaling pathway and inhibited expression of inflammatory factors (IFN-γ and IL-1β). Importantly, we found that several active ingredients may play a significant role in diabetic wound healing, including Notoginsenoside R1, Deoxycorticosterone, Ursolic acid, and 4-Methoxyphenol. In summary, our study sheds light on the complicated mechanisms underlying the promising anti-diabetic wounds of PZH and provides the discovery of agents treating diabetic ulcers.

Abstract
There is a need for research addressing the functional characteristics of the motor end-plate in diabetes to identify mechanisms contributing to neuromuscular dysfunction. Here, we investigated the effect of diabetes on spontaneous acetylcholine release in the rat neuromuscular junction. We studied two randomized groups of male Wistar rats (n = 7 per group, 350 ± 50 g, 12-16 weeks of age): one with streptozotocin-induced experimental diabetes, and a healthy control group without diabetes. After 8 weeks of monitoring after diabetes induction, rats in both groups were anesthetized with pentobarbital. Then, the diaphragm muscle was dissected for electrophysiological recordings of miniature end-plate potentials (MEPPs) using a single electrode located at the region of the muscle end-plate. All experiments were conducted at environmental temperature (20-22 °C) in rat Ringer solution with constant bubbling carbogen (95% O2, 5% CO2). Compared to healthy controls, in the diaphragm neuromuscular end-plate derived from diabetic rats, the MEPPs were higher in amplitude and frequency, and the proportion of giant MEPPs was elevated (7.09% vs. 1.4% in controls). Our results showed that diabetes affected the acetylcholine MEPP pattern and increased the number of giant potentials compared to healthy controls.

Abstract
This review explores the intricate relationship between acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and Type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It covers ARDS epidemiology, etiology and pathophysiology, along with current treatment trends and challenges. The lipopolysaccharides (LPS) role in ARDS and its association between non-communicable diseases and COVID-19 are discussed. The review highlights the therapeutic potential of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) for ARDS and T2DM, emphasizing their immunomodulatory effects. This review also underlines how T2DM exacerbates ARDS pathophysiology and discusses the potential of hUC-MSCs in modulating immune responses. In conclusion, the review highlights the multidisciplinary approach to managing ARDS and T2DM, focusing on inflammation, oxidative stress and potential therapy of hUC-MSCs in the future.

Wang AJ, Ren J, Wang A, Hascall VC. Monocyte adhesive hyaluronan matrix induced by hyperglycemia in diabetic lung injuries. J Biol Chem 2023; 299:104995. [PMID: 37394007 PMCID: PMC10413281 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbc.2023.104995] [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: 04/26/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Infiltrated pre-inflammatory monocytes and macrophages have important roles in the induction of diabetic lung injuries, but the mechanism mediating their infiltration is still unclear. Here, we showed that airway smooth muscle cells (SMCs) activated monocyte adhesion in response to hyperglycemic glucose (25.6 mM) by significantly increasing hyaluronan (HA) in the cell matrix, with concurrent 2- to 4-fold increases in adhesion of U937 monocytic-leukemic cells. The HA-based structures were attributed directly to the high-glucose and not to increased extracellular osmolality, and they required growth stimulation of SMCs by serum. Treatment of SMCs with heparin in high-glucose induces synthesis of a much larger HA matrix, consistent with our observations in the glomerular SMCs. Further, we observed increases in tumor necrosis factor-stimulated gene-6 (TSG-6) expression in high-glucose and high-glucose plus heparin cultures, and the heavy chain (HC)-modified HA structures existed on the monocyte-adhesive cable structures in high-glucose and in high-glucose plus heparin-treated SMC cultures. Interestingly, these HC-modified HA structures were unevenly distributed along the HA cables. Further, the in vitro assay with recombinant human TSG-6 and the HA14 oligo showed that heparin has no inhibitory activity on the TSG-6-induced HC-transfer to HA, consistent with the results from SMC cultures. These results support the hypothesis that hyperglycemia in airway smooth muscle induces the synthesis of a HA matrix that recruits inflammatory cells and establishes a chronic inflammatory process and fibrosis that lead to diabetic lung injuries.

Abstract
Background Diabetes impacts various organs in the body and some reports showed that the lung is also affected by diabetes, and an imbalance of inflammation and oxidative stress may participate to diabetic lung impairments. The present study is conducted to assess the impacts of Citrullus colocynthis (CC) on some aspects of these impairments. Methods Frothy two male Wistar rats (3-4 months old and weighing 200-250 g) were used in the present research. Animals were divided into 3 groups of control, Diabetes, and Diabetes + Drug. CC was administered to diabetic rats orally. The lung tissue and BALF oxidative stress and inflammatory indices including the MDA, TAC, SOD, Gpx, TNFα, IL-6, IL-17, and IL-10 were evaluated by the ELISA method. Results Our observations disclosed the ameliorative impacts of CC administration against oxidative stress and inflammation imbalance. Also, it was found that CC improved body weight and fasting blood sugar in rats with diabetes. Conclusion We can conclude that the administration of CC can be effective in improving diabetic lungs in rats.

Abstract
This study evaluated possible mitigating effect of adropin on lung injury in diabetic rats, targeting role of Rho A/Rho-associated kinase pathway. Rats were allocated into four groups: control, adropin, diabetic, and diabetic+adropin groups. At the termination of the experiment, serum fasting glucose, insulin and adropin levels and insulin resistance were calculated. Wet/dry ratio, histopathological, immunohistochemical analyses, and relative real time gene expression of lung tissue was determined. Interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha, malondialdehyde, 8-Oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, Bcl-2, BAX, myeloperoxidase, intracellular adhesion molecule-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, and transforming growth factor-β were determined in lung tissue. Adropin treatment in diabetic rats notably attenuated hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. Also, it mitigated diabetic lung injury via suppressing effect on Rho A/ROCK pathway, apoptosis, inflammatory reactions, oxidative stress, and fibrosis of lung tissue. Adropin can be considered as a promising therapeutic agent for treating diabetic lung injury.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic lung disease is already known as one of the diabetes complications, but report on its therapeutic strategy is rare. The present study aimed to add novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic lung disease, to reveal the protective effect of ghrelin on diabetic lung disease both in vivo and in vitro, and to discuss its probable molecular mechanism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Diabetic mice and 16HBE cells were our research objects. We surveyed the effect of ghrelin on streptozotocin-induced lung tissue morphology changes by H&E staining. Furthermore, the changes of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)) were detected by ELISA. To expound the molecular mechanism, we detected critical proteins of TLR4 pathway and observed their changes by immunohistochemistry (IHC), real-time PCR and western blot analysis in vivo and in vitro, respectively. RESULTS The results of H&E staining showed that pathological alterations of the lung induced by hyperglycemia were ameliorated by ghrelin. The results of ELISA demonstrated that the elevated levels of IL-1β and TNF-α induced by hyperglycemia turned to decrease in the lung after ghrelin treatment. In the results of IHC, real-time PCR and western blot analysis, we found that the TLR4 pathway was elevated by hyperglycemia or high glucose and is remarkably inhibited by the treatment of ghrelin both in vivo and in vitro. CONCLUSIONS Ghrelin could inhibit inflammation of diabetic lung disease by regulating the TLR4 pathway. This study might affect research on diabetic lung disease, and the therapeutic potential of ghrelin for diabetic lung disease is worth considering.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the combination of elastic band resistance exercise (EBRE) with modified Thai yoga on the alleviation of blood glucose and oxidative stress in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Forty-two patients with T2DM were enrolled and allocated to an exercise or control group (n=21/group). The exercise group participated in EBRE combination with modified Thai yoga for 40 min, 5 days/wk, for 12 consecutive weeks. Blood glucose, oxidative stress markers, antioxidants, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and airway inflammation were measured before and after the 12 weeks. The results showed that the exercise group had a significant reduction in fasting blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin. Moreover, T2DM patients in the exercise group showed a significant reduction in plasma malondialdehyde, while superoxide dismutase and catalase were significantly increased. The exercise group also observed a significant improvement in pulmonary function; forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow, and forced midexpiratory flow as well as respiratory muscle strength. Interestingly, the combination of EBRE with modified Thai yoga markedly improved airway inflammation through the reduction in fractional exhaled nitric oxide. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the combination of EBRE with modified Thai yoga improves blood glucose, oxidative stress, antioxidants, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and airway inflammation in T2DM patients. Hence, it could be considered as a possible exercise program for T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty is the third most common complication of diabetes after macrovascular and microvascular complications. The aim of this study was to develop a validated risk prediction model for frailty in patients with diabetes. METHODS The research used data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), a dataset representative of the Chinese population. Twenty-five indicators, including socio-demographic variables, behavioral factors, health status, and mental health parameters, were analyzed in this study. The study cohort was randomly divided into a training set and a validation set at a ratio of 70 to 30%. LASSO regression analysis was used to screen the variables for the best predictors of the model based on a 10-fold cross-validation. The logistic regression model was applied to explore the associated factors of frailty in patients with diabetes. A nomogram was constructed to develop the prediction model. Calibration curves were applied to evaluate the accuracy of the nomogram model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve analysis were conducted to assess predictive performance. RESULTS One thousand four hundred thirty-six patients with diabetes from the CHARLS database collected in 2013 (n = 793) and 2015 (n = 643) were included in the final analysis. A total of 145 (10.9%) had frailty symptoms. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that marital status, activities of daily living, waist circumference, cognitive function, grip strength, social activity, and depression as predictors of frailty in people with diabetes. These factors were used to construct the nomogram model, which showed good concordance and accuracy. The AUC values of the predictive model and the internal validation set were 0.912 (95%CI 0.887-0.937) and 0.881 (95% CI 0.829-0.934). Hosmer-Lemeshow test values were P = 0.824 and P = 0.608 (both > 0.05). Calibration curves showed significant agreement between the nomogram model and actual observations. ROC and DCA indicated that the nomogram had a good predictive performance. CONCLUSIONS Comprehensive nomogram constructed in this study was a promising and convenient tool to evaluate the risk of frailty in patients with diabetes, and contributed clinicians to screening the high-risk population.

Abstract
Cigarette smoking (CS) or ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure is a risk factor for metabolic disorders, such as insulin resistance (IR), increased plasma triglycerides, hyperglycemia, and diabetes mellitus (DM); it can also cause gut microbiota dysbiosis. In smokers with metabolic disorders, CS cessation decreases the risks of serious pulmonary events, inflammation, and metabolic disorder. This review included recent studies examining the mechanisms underlying the effects of CS and PM on gut microbiota dysbiosis and metabolic disorder development; one of the potential mechanisms is the disruption of the lung-gut axis, leading to gut microbiota dysbiosis, intestinal dysfunction, systemic inflammation, and metabolic disease. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are the primary metabolites of gut bacteria, which are derived from the fermentation of dietary fibers. They activate G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, suppress histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity, and inhibit inflammation, facilitating the maintenance of gut health and biofunction. The aforementioned gut microbiota dysbiosis reduces SCFA levels. Treatment targeting SCFA/GPCR signaling may alleviate air pollution-associated inflammation and metabolic disorders, which involve lung-gut axis disruption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mycobacterium tuberculosis genotyping has been crucial to determining the distribution and impact of different families on disease clinical presentation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the associations among sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and M. tuberculosis lineages from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Orizaba, Veracruz, Mexico. METHODS We analyzed data from 755 patients whose isolates were typified by 24-loci mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit-variable number of tandem repeats (MIRU-VNTR). The associations among patient characteristics and sublineages found were evaluated using logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Among M. tuberculosis isolates, 730/755 (96.6%) were assigned to eight sublineages of lineage 4 (Euro-American). Alcohol consumption (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.528, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.041-2.243; p = 0.030), diabetes mellitus type 2 (aOR 1.625, 95% CI 1.130-2.337; p = 0.009), sputum smear positivity grade (3+) (aOR 2.198, 95% CI 1.524-3.168; p < 0.001) and LAM sublineage isolates (aOR 1.023, 95% CI 1.023-2.333; p = 0.039) were associated with the presence of cavitations. Resistance to at least one drug (aOR 25.763, 95% CI 7.096-93.543; p < 0.001) and having isolates other than Haarlem and LAM sublineages (aOR 6.740, 95% CI 1.704-26.661; p = 0.007) were associated with treatment failure. In a second model, multidrug resistance was associated with treatment failure (aOR 31.497, 95% CI 5.119-193.815; p < 0.001). Having more than 6 years of formal education was not associated with treatment failure. CONCLUSIONS Knowing M. tuberculosis genetic diversity plays an essential role in disease development and outcomes, and could have important implications for guiding treatment and improving tuberculosis control.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the common diseases of the respiratory system. As the disease recurs, damage to the airways and lung tissue gradually worsens, leading to a progressive decline in lung function, affecting the patient's workforce and quality of life, and causing a huge social and economic burden. Diabetes is a common comorbidity of COPD and patients with COPD are at increased risk of developing diabetes, while hyperglycemia can also reduce lung function and contribute to the progression and poor prognosis of COPD. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) is a new type of hypoglycemic agent that has been shown to regulate blood glucose levels, reduce inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, and regulate lipid metabolism, among other effects. GLP-1RAs may benefit COPD patients by acting directly on the lung from mechanisms such as reducing the inflammatory response, improving oxidative stress, regulating protease/anti-protease imbalance, improving airway mucus homeostasis, and reducing airway remodeling. This study provides a review of the potential role of GLP-1RAs in COPD and offers new ideas for the prevention and treatment of COPD.

Association of adverse respiratory events with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors versus dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors among patients with type 2 diabetes in South Korea: a nationwide cohort study. BMC Med 2023; 21:47. [PMID: 36765407 PMCID: PMC9913005 DOI: 10.1186/s12916-023-02765-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired respiratory function remains underrecognized in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), despite common pulmonary impairment. Meanwhile, there is little data available on the respiratory effects of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Hence, we examined the association between SGLT2i use and the risk of adverse respiratory events in a real-world setting. METHODS We conducted a population-based, nationwide cohort study using an active-comparator new-user design and nationwide claims data of South Korea from January 2015 to December 2020. Among individuals aged 18 years or older, propensity score matching was done to match each new user of SGLT2is with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4is), with patients followed up according to an as-treated definition. The primary outcome was respiratory events, a composite endpoint of acute pulmonary edema, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), pneumonia, and respiratory failure. Secondary outcomes were the individual components of the primary outcome and in-hospital death. Cox models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs. RESULTS Of 205,534 patient pairs in the propensity score matched cohort, the mean age of the entire cohort was 53.8 years and 59% were men, with a median follow-up of 0.66 years; all baseline covariates achieved balance between the two groups. Incidence rates for overall respiratory events were 4.54 and 7.54 per 1000 person-years among SGLT2i and DPP4i users, respectively, corresponding to a rate difference of 3 less events per 1000 person-years (95% CI - 3.44 to - 2.55). HRs (95% CIs) were 0.60 (0.55 to 0.64) for the composite respiratory endpoint, 0.35 (0.23 to 0.55) for acute pulmonary edema, 0.44 (0.18 to 1.05) for ARDS, 0.61 (0.56 to 0.66) for pneumonia, 0.49 (0.31 to 0.76) for respiratory failure, and 0.46 (0.41 to 0.51) for in-hospital death. Similar trends were found across individual SGLT2is, subgroup analyses of age, sex, history of comorbidities, and a range of sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest a lower risk of adverse respiratory events associated with patients with T2D initiating SGLT2is versus DPP4is. This real-world evidence helps inform patients, clinicians, and guideline writers regarding the respiratory effects of SGLT2i in routine practice.

Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic significantly threatens the health and well-being of older adults. Aging-related changes, including multimorbidity, weakened immunity and frailty, may make older people more susceptible to severe infection and place them at higher risk of morbidity and mortality from COVID-19. Various quarantine measures have been implemented to control the spread of COVID-19. Nevertheless, such social distancing has disrupted routine health care practices, such as accessibility of medical services and long-term continuous care services. The medical management of older adults with multimorbidity is significantly afflicted by COVID-19. Older persons with frailty or multiple chronic disease may poorly adapt to the altered health care system, having detrimental consequences on their physical and mental health. COVID-19 pandemic has posed great challenges to the health of older adults. We highlighted the difficulties and obstacles of older adults during this unprecedented time. Also, we provided potential strategies and recommendations for actions to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic threats. Certain strategies like community primary health care, medication delivery and home care support are adopted by many health facilities and caregivers, whereas other services such as internet hospital and virtual medical care are promoted to be accessible in many regions. However, guidelines and policies based on high-quality data are still needed for better health promotion of older groups with increasing resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Silibinin (SIL)-modified Hydroxyapatite coating on osseointegration in diabetes in vivo and in vitro and explore the mechanism of osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1. RT-qPCR, Immunofluorescence, and Western blot were used to measure the expression level of oxidative Stress Indicators and osteogenic markers proteins. Moreover, CCK-8 assay was conducted to detect cell viability in hyperglycemia. Alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase staining were used to examine osteogenic function and calcium deposits. The diabetic rat model receive titanium rod implantation was set up successfully and Von-Gieson staining was used to examine femoral bone tissue around titanium rod. Our results showed that intracellular oxidative stress in hyperglycemia was overexpressed, while FoxO1, SIRT1, GPX1, and SOD2 were downregulated. SIL suppressed oxidative stress to promote osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, it was confirmed that SIL promoted osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 and obviously restored the osseointegration ability of diabetic rats. Further study indicated that SIL exerted its beneficial function through activation SIRT1/SOD2 signaling pathway to restore osteoblast function, and improved the osseointegration and stability of titanium rods in vivo. Our research suggested that the SIL-modulated oxidative Stress inhibition is responsible for the activation of the process of osteogenic differentiation through activation SIRT1/SOD2 signaling pathway in hyperglycemia, providing a novel insight into improving prosthetic osseointegration in diabetic patients. Hyperglycemia impaired the activity and function of MC3T3-E1 and inhibits bone formation by up-regulating intracellular ROS levels through inhibition of SIRT1/SOD2 signaling pathway. Local administrator SIL can improve the activity and function of osteoblasts and enhance osseointegration by reducing intracellular ROS through activation of SIRT1/SOD2 signaling pathway in DM rat models.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to determine the forced vital capacity (FVC) and slow vital capacity (SVC) along with other pulmonary functions in Indian diabetic patients for early diagnosis of pulmonary function reduction and to compare the ratios of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) with FVC and SVC (FEV1/FVC and FEV1/SVC) in diabetic patients. Materials and methods: A prospective observational study was carried out in the physiology department for two years after the approval of the institutional ethics committee. The study included 90 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients previously diagnosed by the physician and 90 age and sex-matched controls for spirometric tests. Medspiror having Helios 401 software (Recorders & Medicare Systems Pvt. Ltd., Panchkula, India) was used to assess the pulmonary function in all subjects. A comparison of dynamic pulmonary function parameters among non-diabetic and diabetic groups and non-obese vs. overweight/obese individuals of the diabetic group has been done. FEV1/FVC ratio vs. FEV1/SVC ratio comparison was conducted between the non-obese vs. the overweight/obese group in diabetic patients. Results: A significant variation in FEV1 and FVC was observed in the type 2 diabetic group as compared to the non-diabetic group. However, in the case of type 2 diabetic subjects, FEV1/FVC ratio was almost constant in both BMI groups, whereas the FEV1/SVC ratio increased in the overweight/obese group. Conclusion: Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for a predictive factor for worsening pulmonary function. SVC, particularly the FEV1/SVC ratio, can be an earlier diagnostic marker for pulmonary dysfunction in diabetic subjects as this ratio changes even with a constant FEV1/FVC ratio.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Identifying the risks for chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) after lung transplantation (LTx) is beneficial to the patient. We hypothesized that diabetes mellitus (DM) is relevant to CLAD development. Our study aimed to clarify if DM is a risk for poor post-LTx outcomes. METHODS The records of patients first undergoing LTx in our institution between 2010 and 2018 were reviewed retrospectively. Patient characteristics and postoperative outcomes were analyzed. We established 6 months post-LTx as the landmark point for predicting overall survival (OS) and CLAD development. To identify perioperative DM, we evaluated the patient for DM at 6 months post-LTx. RESULTS A total of 172 patients were investigated. DM and CLAD occurred in 76 and 39 patients, respectively, and 40 died. At 6 months post-LTx, the unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of DM for OS were 3.36 (95% confidence interval [CI95%] = [1.67-6.73]) and 2.78 (CI95% = [1.35-5.75]), respectively. The unadjusted and adjusted HRs of DM for CLAD-free survival were 2.20 (CI95% = [1.27-3.80]) and 2.15 (CI95% = [1.24-3.74]). The patients with DM were older and had a higher body mass index and more incidents of post-LTx malignant disease than the non-DM patients. The five-year OS and CLAD-free survival rates of the patients with or without DM were 57.2% vs 86.5% and 50.1% vs 72.9%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative DM was identified as an independent adverse factor for OS and CLAD-free survival. Perioperative management of DM should be emphasized in the clinical setting of lung transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Massive hemoptysis is a common and fatal complication of bronchiectasis. However, the risk factors for massive hemoptysis in patients with bronchiectasis have not yet been reported. This study investigated the potential risk factors for massive hemoptysis in patients with bronchiectasis. METHODS This retrospective study included patients with bronchiectasis and their data were obtained from medical records. The risk factors for massive hemoptysis were evaluated by multivariate analysis of patient characteristics, medical history, and computed tomography imaging data, including the number of lesions, lesion location, and laboratory findings. RESULTS Among 379 patients, 61 (16.09%) experienced severe hemoptysis. Multivariate analysis revealed that diabetes (odds ratio (OR) 2.885; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.009-8.247), lesions involving two lobes (OR 4.347; 95% CI 1.960-9.638) and three lobes (OR 2.787; 95% CI 1.055-7.363) were significant predictors of severe hemoptysis. However, a disease course between 1 and 5 years (OR 0.300; 95% CI 0.112-0.801) and involvement of the left lower lobe (OR 0.394; 95% CI 0.196-0.793) were protective factors for the prevention of massive hemoptysis. Lesions in the right upper lobe were more likely to cause massive hemoptysis (OR 1.458) than involvement of other lobes. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes and lesions involving two and three lobes, were risk factors for massive hemoptysis in patients with bronchiectasis. Disease duration between 1 and 5 years and involvement of the left lower lobe were protective factors, while lesions in the right upper lobe had a stronger relationship with massive hemoptysis in patients with bronchiectasis.

Abstract
The global prevalence of diabetes mellitus was estimated to be 463 million people in 2019 and is predicted to rise to 700 million by 2045. The associated financial and societal costs of this burgeoning epidemic demand an understanding of the pathology of this disease, and its complications, that will inform treatment to enable improved patient outcomes. Nearly two decades after the sequencing of the human genome, the significance of noncoding RNA expression is still being assessed. The family of functional noncoding RNAs known as microRNAs regulates the expression of most genes encoded by the human genome. Altered microRNA expression profiles have been observed both in diabetes and in diabetic complications. These transcripts therefore have significant potential and novelty as targets for therapy, therapeutic agents and biomarkers.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes may, in time, cause lung dysfunction including airflow limitation. We hypothesized that ventilatory flow morphology during a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) would be altered in adult men with well-controlled type 1 diabetes. Thirteen men with type 1 diabetes [glycated hemoglobin A1c 59 (9) mmol/mol or 7.5 (0.8)%, duration of diabetes 12 (9) years, and age 33.9 (6.6) years] without diagnosed diabetes-related complications and 13 healthy male controls [age 37.2 (8.6) years] underwent CPET on a cycle ergometer (40 W increments every 3 min until volitional fatigue). We used a principal component analysis based method to quantify ventilatory flow dynamics throughout the CPET protocol. Last minute of each increment, peak exercise, and recovery were examined using linear mixed models, which accounted for relative peak oxygen uptake and minute ventilation. The type 1 diabetes participants had lower expiratory peak flow (P = 0.008) and attenuated slope from expiration onset to expiratory peak flow (P = 0.012) at peak exercise when compared with the healthy controls. Instead, during submaximal exercise and recovery, the type 1 diabetes participants possessed similar ventilatory flow dynamics to that of the healthy controls. In conclusion, men with relatively well-controlled type 1 diabetes and without clinical evidence of diabetes-related complications exhibited attenuated expiratory flow at peak exercise independently of peak oxygen uptake and minute ventilation. This study demonstrates that acute exercise reveals alterations in ventilatory function in men with type 1 diabetes but not until peak exercise.

Abstract
La dificultad respiratoria, también conocida como disnea, es un síntoma frecuente que causa debilidad. Varios reportes han destacado la ausencia de disnea en un subgrupo de pacientes que padecen COVID-19, en la llamada hipoxemia «silenciosa» o «feliz». Los reportes también han mencionado la falta de una relación clara entre la gravedad clínica de la enfermedad y los niveles de disnea referidos por los pacientes. Se ha demostrado en gran medida que entre las complicaciones cerebrales del COVID-19 hay alta prevalencia de encefalopatía aguda, que podría afectar el procesamiento de las señales aferentes o bien la modulación descendente de las señales de disnea. En esta revisión pretendemos destacar los mecanismos implicados en la disnea y resumir la fisiopatología del COVID-19 y sus efectos en la interacción cerebro-pulmón. Posteriormente, presentamos hipótesis sobre la alteración de la percepción de la disnea en pacientes con COVID-19 y sugerimos formas de investigar más a fondo este fenómeno.

Abstract
Since December 2019, a new coronavirus, called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread around the world, causing the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. From the beginning, SARS-CoV-2 has put a strain on the health system. In fact, many patients have had severe forms of the disease with the need for hospitalization due to respiratory failure. To contain the pandemic, the most widely used approach has been lockdowns. Social restrictions have been reduced thanks to the development of vaccines and targeted therapies. However, fatal events still occur among people at high risk of serious infection, such as patients with concomitant diabetes. Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the poor prognosis of patients with diabetes and COVID-19, but the specific cause is unclear. It is now known that insulin resistance, inflammation, and cytokine storm are involved. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 uses the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors to enter cells. This receptor is expressed on pancreatic beta cells and, during infection, it appears that receptor involvement may induce hyperglycemia in patients with or without diabetes. In this study, we discuss the mechanisms underlying the poor prognosis in people with COVID-19 and diabetes and what may improve the outcome in these patients.

Abstract
Atemnot, auch als Dyspnoe bezeichnet, ist ein häufiges und lähmendes Symptom. In mehreren Berichten wurde die Abwesenheit von Atemnot bei einer Untergruppe von Patienten mit COVID-19 hervorgehoben, die manchmal als «stille» oder «glückliche Hypoxie» bezeichnet wird. Ebenfalls wurde in Berichten erwähnt, dass es an einem klaren Zusammenhang zwischen dem klinischen Schweregrad der Erkrankung und der von den Patienten berichteten Schwere der Atemnot fehlt. Die zerebralen Komplikationen von COVID-19 sind weitgehend nachgewiesen, mit einer hohen Prävalenz akuter Enzephalopathien, die möglicherweise die Verarbeitung afferenter Signale oder die absteigende Modulation von Atemnotsignalen beeinträchtigen könnte. In dieser Übersichtsarbeit möchten wir die an der Atemnot beteiligten Mechanismen hervorheben und die Pathophysiologie von COVID-19 und den bekannten Auswirkungen der Erkrankung auf die Interaktion von Gehirn und Lunge zusammenfassen. Anschließend stellen wir Hypothesen für die Veränderung der Wahrnehmung von Atemnot bei COVID-19-Patienten auf und schlagen Möglichkeiten vor, mit denen dieses Phänomen weiter erforscht werden könnte.

A comprehensive review on the phytochemistry, pharmacokinetics, and antidiabetic effect of Ginseng. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 92:153717. [PMID: 34583224 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2021.153717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2021] [Revised: 08/08/2021] [Accepted: 08/15/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Radix Ginseng, one of the well-known medicinal herbs, has been used in the management of diabetes and its complications for more than 1000 years. PURPOSE The aim of this review is devoted to summarize the phytochemistry and pharmacokinetics of Ginseng, and provide evidence for the antidiabetic effects of Ginseng and its ingredients as well as the underlying mechanisms involved. METHODS For the purpose of this review, the following databases were consulted: the PubMed Database (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (http://www.cnki.net), National Science and Technology Library (http://www.nstl.gov.cn/), Wanfang Data (http://www.wanfangdata.com.cn/) and the Web of Science Database (http://apps.webofknowledge.com/). RESULTS Ginseng exhibits glucose-lowering effects in different diabetic animal models. In addition, Ginseng may prevent the development of diabetic complications, including liver, pancreas, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, nephropathy, cardiomyopathy, retinopathy, atherosclerosis and others. The main ingredients of Ginseng include ginsenosides and polysaccharides. The underlying mechanisms whereby this herb exerts antidiabetic activities may be attributed to the regulation of multiple signaling pathways, including IRS1/PI3K/AKT, LKB1/AMPK/FoxO1, AGEs/RAGE, MAPK/ERK, NF-κB, PPARδ/STAT3, cAMP/PKA/CERB and HIF-1α/VEGF, etc. The pharmacokinetic profiles of ginsenosides provide valuable information on therapeutic efficacy of Ginseng in diabetes. Although Ginseng is well-tolerated, dietary consumption of this herb should follow the doctors' advice. CONCLUSION Ginseng may offer an alternative strategy in protection against diabetes and its complications through the regulations of the multi-targets via various signaling pathways. Efforts to understand the underlying mechanisms with strictly-controlled animal models, combined with well-designed clinical trials and pharmacokinetic evaluation, will be important subjects of the further investigations and weigh in translational value of this herb in diabetes management.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections have posed a problematic healthcare situation worldwide since December 2019. Diabetes mellitus is associated with an increased risk and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While interacting with various other risk factors, high blood sugar was found to reduce immunity and increase the replication of SARS-CoV-2. Oxidative stress and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines are greater in diabetic individuals than in healthy people, worsening the outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection in diabetics. Increased expression of furin and angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor in the hyperglycemic environment may promote the entry of SARS-CoV-2 in the host cell. COVID-19 infection primarily modulates immune and inflammatory responses, and may cause a cytokine storm, resulting in possible lethal outcomes in diabetics. An experimental report suggests that ACE expressed in the pancreas and the SARS-CoV-2 virus invariably destroy β-cells which contain ACE-2 receptors and results in acute diabetes. Moreover, COVID-19 also causes hyperglycemia in an individual with diabetes which may be related to insulin resistance and destruction of β-cells during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Early observations also suggest a correlation between oral hypoglycemic agents and the risk of COVID-19. This review focused on the possible cause and mechanism involved in SARS-CoV-2 infection in diabetics and the role of antidiabetic drugs in COVID-19.

Effects of adding L-arginine orally to standard therapy in patients with COVID-19: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trial. Results of the first interim analysis. EClinicalMedicine 2021; 40:101125. [PMID: 34522871 PMCID: PMC8428476 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2021.101125] [Citation(s) in RCA: 44] [Impact Index Per Article: 14.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2021] [Revised: 08/11/2021] [Accepted: 08/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We and others have previously demonstrated that the endothelium is a primary target of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and L-arginine has been shown to improve endothelial dysfunction. However, the effects of L-arginine have never been evaluated in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). METHODS This is a parallel-group, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial conducted on patients hospitalized for severe COVID-19. Patients received 1.66 g L-arginine twice a day or placebo, administered orally. The primary efficacy endpoint was a reduction in respiratory support assessed 10 and 20 days after randomization. Secondary outcomes were the length of in-hospital stay, the time to normalization of lymphocyte number, and the time to obtain a negative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for SARS-CoV-2 on nasopharyngeal swab. This clinical trial had been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier: NCT04637906. FINDINGS We present here the results of the initial interim analysis on the first 101 patients. No treatment-emergent serious adverse events were attributable to L-arginine. At 10-day evaluation, 71.1% of patients in the L-arginine arm and 44.4% in the placebo arm (p < 0.01) had the respiratory support reduced; however, a significant difference was not detected 20 days after randomization. Strikingly, patients treated with L-arginine exhibited a significantly reduced in-hospital stay vs placebo, with a median (interquartile range 25th,75th percentile) of 46 days (45,46) in the placebo group vs 25 days (21,26) in the L-arginine group (p < 0.0001); these findings were also confirmed after adjusting for potential confounders including age, duration of symptoms, comorbidities, D-dimer, as well as antiviral and anticoagulant treatments. The other secondary outcomes were not significantly different between groups. INTERPRETATION In this interim analysis, adding oral L-arginine to standard therapy in patients with severe COVID-19 significantly decreases the length of hospitalization and reduces the respiratory support at 10 but not at 20 days after starting the treatment. FUNDING Both placebo and L-arginine were kindly provided by Farmaceutici Damor S.p.A., Naples.

Association of Pulmonary Function Decline over Time with Longitudinal Change of Glycated Hemoglobin in Participants without Diabetes Mellitus. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11100994.

Abstract
Pulmonary damage and function impairment were frequently noted in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the relationship between lung function and glycemic status in non-DM subjects was not well-known. Here, we evaluated the association of longitudinal changes of lung function parameters with longitudinal changes of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in non-DM participants. The study enrolled participants without prior type 2 DM, hypertension, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from the Taiwan Biobank database. Laboratory profiles and pulmonary function parameters, including forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), were examined at baseline and follow-up. Finally, 7055 participants were selected in this study. During a mean 3.9-year follow-up, FVC and FEV1 were significantly decreased over time (both p < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, the baseline (unstandardized coefficient β = −0.032, p < 0.001) and longitudinal change (unstandardized coefficient β = −0.025, p = 0.026) of FVC were negatively associated with the baseline and longitudinal change of HbA1c, respectively. Additionally, the longitudinal change of FVC was negatively associated with the risk of newly diagnosed type 2 DM (p = 0.018). During a mean 3.9-year follow-up, our present study, including participants without type 2 DM, hypertension, and COPD, demonstrated that the baseline and longitudinal change of FVC were negatively and respectively correlated with the baseline and longitudinal change of HbA1c. Furthermore, compared to those without new-onset DM, participants with new-onset DM had a more pronounced decline of FVC over time.

Abstract
Objective: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at an increased risk of developing infectious diseases such as pneumonia. Hitherto, there has been uncertainty as to whether there is a relationship between different antidiabetic drug combinations and development of pneumonia in this specific cohort. Research Design and Methods: In this longitudinal retrospective study we used multiple logistic regression analysis to assess the odds ratios (ORs) of pneumonia during an observational period of 2 years in 31,397 patients with T2DM under previously prescribed stable antidiabetic drug combinations over a duration of 4 years in comparison to 6568 T2DM patients without drug therapy over 4 years adjusted for age, sex and hospitalization duration. Results: Of the 37,965 patients with T2DM, 3720 patients underwent stable monotherapy treatment with insulin (mean age: 66.57 ± 9.72 years), 2939 individuals (mean age: 70.62 ± 8.95 y) received stable statin and insulin therapy, and 1596 patients were treated with a stable combination therapy of metformin, insulin and statins (mean age: 68.27 ± 8.86 y). In comparison to the control group without antidiabetic drugs (mean age: 72.83 ± 9.96 y), individuals undergoing insulin monotherapy (OR: 2.07, CI: 1.54–2.79, p < 0.001); insulin and statin combination therapy (OR: 2.24, CI: 1.68–3.00, p < 0.001); metformin, insulin and statin combination therapy (OR: 2.27, CI: 1.55–3.31, p < 0.001); statin, insulin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-IV inhibitor) combination therapy (OR: 4.31, CI: 1.80–10.33, p = 0.001); as well as individuals treated with metformin and sulfonylureas (OR: 1.70, CI: 1.08–2.69, p = 0.02) were at increased risk of receiving a diagnosis of pneumonia. Conclusions: Stable monotherapy with insulin, but also in combination with other antidiabetic drugs, is related to an increased risk of being diagnosed with pneumonia during hospital stays in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus compared to untreated controls.

Abstract
Breathlessness, also known as dyspnoea, is a debilitating and frequent symptom. Several reports have highlighted the lack of dyspnoea in a subgroup of patients suffering from COVID-19, sometimes referred to as “silent” or “happy hypoxaemia.” Reports have also mentioned the absence of a clear relationship between the clinical severity of the disease and levels of breathlessness reported by patients. The cerebral complications of COVID-19 have been largely demonstrated with a high prevalence of an acute encephalopathy that could possibly affect the processing of afferent signals or top-down modulation of breathlessness signals. In this review, we aim to highlight the mechanisms involved in breathlessness and summarize the pathophysiology of COVID-19 and its known effects on the brain-lung interaction. We then offer hypotheses for the alteration of breathlessness perception in COVID-19 patients and suggest ways of further researching this phenomenon.

Abstract
SARS-CoV-2 started spreading toward the end of 2019 causing COVID-19, a disease that reached pandemic proportions among the human population within months. The reasons for the spectrum of differences in the severity of the disease across the population, and in particular why the disease affects more severely the aging population and those with specific preconditions are unclear. We developed machine learning models to mine 240,000 scientific articles openly accessible in the CORD-19 database, and constructed knowledge graphs to synthesize the extracted information and navigate the collective knowledge in an attempt to search for a potential common underlying reason for disease severity. The machine-driven framework we developed repeatedly pointed to elevated blood glucose as a key facilitator in the progression of COVID-19. Indeed, when we systematically retraced the steps of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, we found evidence linking elevated glucose to each major step of the life-cycle of the virus, progression of the disease, and presentation of symptoms. Specifically, elevations of glucose provide ideal conditions for the virus to evade and weaken the first level of the immune defense system in the lungs, gain access to deep alveolar cells, bind to the ACE2 receptor and enter the pulmonary cells, accelerate replication of the virus within cells increasing cell death and inducing an pulmonary inflammatory response, which overwhelms an already weakened innate immune system to trigger an avalanche of systemic infections, inflammation and cell damage, a cytokine storm and thrombotic events. We tested the feasibility of the hypothesis by manually reviewing the literature referenced by the machine-generated synthesis, reconstructing atomistically the virus at the surface of the pulmonary airways, and performing quantitative computational modeling of the effects of glucose levels on the infection process. We conclude that elevation in glucose levels can facilitate the progression of the disease through multiple mechanisms and can explain much of the differences in disease severity seen across the population. The study provides diagnostic considerations, new areas of research and potential treatments, and cautions on treatment strategies and critical care conditions that induce elevations in blood glucose levels.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a new emerging respiratory virus, caused evolving pneumonia outbreak around the world. In SARS-Cov-2 infected patients, diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity are two metabolic diseases associated with higher severity of SARS-CoV-2 related complications, characterized by acute lung injury requiring assisted ventilation as well as fibrosis development in surviving patients. Different factors are potentially responsible for this exacerbated response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. In patients with DM, base-line increase in inflammation and oxidative stress represent preexisting risk factors for virus-induced damages. Such factors are also likely to be found in obese patients. In addition, it has been proposed that massive injury to the alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells, which express the SARS-CoV-2 receptor angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), leads to the activation of their stromal niches represented by the Lipofibroblasts (LIF). LIF are instrumental in maintaining the self-renewal of AT2 stem cells. LIF have been proposed to transdifferentiate into Myofibroblast (MYF) following injury to AT2 cells, thereby contributing to fibrosis. We hypothesized that LIF's activity could be impacted by DM or obesity in an age- and gender-dependent manner, rendering them more prone to transition toward the profibrotic MYF status in the context of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Understanding the cumulative effects of DM and/or obesity in the context of SARS-CoV-2 infection at the cellular level will be crucial for efficient therapeutic solutions.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18136970.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a highly challenging global health care problem. This study aimed to assess the effect of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and duration of diabetes on lung function in type 2 diabetic patients and assess whether duration or high HbA1c is more noxious to damage the lung functions. A total of 202 participants, 101 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and 101 age-, gender-, height-, and weight-matched controlled subjects were recruited. The HbA1c was measured through a clover analyzer, and lung function test parameters were recorded by spirometry. The results revealed a significant inverse correlation between HbA1c and Vital Capacity (VC) (r = -0.221, p = 0.026), Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) (r = -0.261, p = 0.008), Forced Expiratory Volume in First Second (FEV1) (r = -0.272, p = 0.006), Forced Expiratory Flow 25% (FEF-25%) (r = -0.196, p = 0.050), Forced Expiratory Flow 50% (FEF-50%) (r = -0.223, p = 0.025), and Forced Expiratory Flow 75% (FEF-75%) (r = -0.169, p = 0.016). Moreover, FEV1 (p = 0.029), FEV1/FVC% (p = 0.006), FEF-50% (p = 0.001), and FEF-75% (p = 0.003) were significantly lower in the diabetic group with duration of disease 5-10 and >10 years compared to the control group. The overall results concluded that high HbA1c or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus has a more damaging effect on lung function impairment compared to the duration of diabetes mellitus. Physicians must regularly monitor the HbA1c level while treating diabetic patients, as good glycemic control is essential to minimize the complications of DM, including lung function impairment in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Asthma and type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) are two of the most frequent chronic diseases in children, representing a model of the atopic and autoimmune diseases respectively. These two groups of disorders are mediated by different immunological pathways, T helper (Th)1 for diabetes and Th2 for asthma. For many years, these two groups were thought to be mutually exclusive according to the Th1/Th2 paradigm. In children, the incidence of both diseases is steadily increasing worldwide. In this narrative review, we report the evidence of the potential link between asthma and T1DM in childhood. We discuss which molecular mechanisms could be involved in the link between asthma and T1DM, such as genetic predisposition, cytokine patterns, and environmental influences. Cytokine profile of children with asthma and T1DM shows an activation of both Th1 and Th2 pathways, suggesting a complex genetic-epigenetic interaction. In conclusion, in children, the potential link between asthma and T1DM needs further investigation to improve the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to these patients. The aim of this review is to invite the pediatricians to consider the potential copresence of these two disorders in clinical practice.

Abstract
Biological exploration of early biomarkers for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in (pre)diabetic individuals is crucial for personalized management of diabetes. Here, we evaluated two candidate biomarkers of incident CKD (sphingomyelin (SM) C18:1 and phosphatidylcholine diacyl (PC aa) C38:0) concerning kidney function in hyperglycemic participants of the Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) cohort, and in two biofluids and six organs of leptin receptor-deficient (db/db) mice and wild type controls. Higher serum concentrations of SM C18:1 and PC aa C38:0 in hyperglycemic individuals were found to be associated with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and higher odds of CKD. In db/db mice, both metabolites had a significantly lower concentration in urine and adipose tissue, but higher in the lungs. Additionally, db/db mice had significantly higher SM C18:1 levels in plasma and liver, and PC aa C38:0 in adrenal glands. This cross-sectional human study confirms that SM C18:1 and PC aa C38:0 associate with kidney dysfunction in pre(diabetic) individuals, and the animal study suggests a potential implication of liver, lungs, adrenal glands, and visceral fat in their systemic regulation. Our results support further validation of the two phospholipids as early biomarkers of renal disease in patients with (pre)diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with acute exacerbation of COPD (AECOPD), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as comorbidity have poor outcomes. However, data on the impact of previously diagnosed and new- diagnosed T2DM in such a patient population is lacking. METHODS Inpatients diagnosed with AECOPD in the department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine of The First Hospital of China Medical University during 2011-2017 were enrolled. Data on demography, prevalence of type 2 DM, other comorbidities, hospital stays and laboratory tests (including arterial partial pressure of oxygen [PaO2]) results were recorded. Results were compared with AECOPD patients having previously diagnosed and new-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Markers associated with development of type 2 DM and the prognosis of AECOPD patients were identified. RESULTS Of the 196 patients enrolled in this study, the overall prevalence of T2DM was 26%. The PaO2 in the newly diagnosed T2DM group was considerably lower versus non-diabetic group. The T2DM group had a longer hospital stay and higher troponin level versus the non-diabetic group. AECOPD patients with T2DM were found to be correlated with hypertension. Age, need for assisted ventilation, increased troponin, and elevated fasting blood glucose on admission were risk factors for death in hospitalized AECOPD patients. CONCLUSIONS AECOPD patients had a higher prevalence of T2DM than the general population; T2DM comorbidity caused lower PaO2, longer hospital stays, and increased troponin. Poor blood glucose control may increase the risk of death in AECOPD patients.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes are over-represented among the total cases reported with "idiopathic" pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). This raises the question, whether this is an association only or whether diabetes itself can cause pulmonary fibrosis. Recent studies in mouse models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes demonstrated that diabetes causes pulmonary fibrosis. Both types of diabetes trigger a cascade, starting with increased DNA damage, an impaired DNA repair, and leading to persistent DNA damage signaling. This response, in turn, induces senescence, a senescence-associated-secretory phenotype (SASP), marked by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors, finally resulting in fibrosis. Restoring DNA repair drives fibrosis into remission, thus proving causality. These data can be translated clinically to patients with type 2 diabetes, characterized by long-term diabetes and albuminuria. Hence there are several arguments, to substitute the term "idiopathic" pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) in patients with diabetes (and exclusion of other causes of lung diseases) by the term "diabetes-induced pulmonary fibrosis" (DiPF). However, future studies are required to establish this term and to study whether patients with diabetes respond to the established therapies similar to non-diabetic patients.

Abstract
AIM To assess the lung functions with impulse oscillometry (IOS) and spirometry in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS Fifty-one children with T1DM, and sex- and age-matched 53 healthy control (HC) subjects were included in this study. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of the subjects were recorded and their pulmonary functions were analyzed by IOS and spirometry. RESULTS In IOS, zR5, zR10, and zR20 levels were higher in children with T1DM compared with HCs (P = .019, P = .017, and P = .002, respectively). In spirometry, zFEF75 and zFEF25-75 were lower in children with T1DM compared with HCs (P = .025, P = .001, respectively). In IOS, zR5-20 (P = .008, P = .005, respectively) and zAX (P = .013, P = .009, respectively) were significantly lower in good-controlled group compared with moderate- and poor-controlled group. In spirometry, zFEF25-75 was significantly higher in good-controlled group compared with moderate- and poor-controlled group (P = .005, P = .009, respectively). HbA1c was positively correlated with zR5-20 value (r = .339; P = .017) in male children with T1DM. The duration of the disease was positively correlated with zR5-20 (r = .290; P = .043) and zFres (r = .358; P = .010). According to the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis to estimate optimal cut-offs to discriminate good control level of T1DM (HbA1c < 7%), a zR5-20 ≤ 2.28 demonstrated a 75.0% sensitivity and 82.9% specificity, with an area under the curve of 0.805 ([confidence interval, 0.615-0.995]; P = .007). CONCLUSIONS This study showed subclinical impairment of lung functions which is associated with disease duration and the degree of metabolic control in children with T1DM.

Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a recent pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), a novel coronavirus. Diabetes (mostly type 2 diabetes mellitus, T2DM) and hyperglycemia are among the major comorbidities in patients with COVID-19 leading to poor outcomes. Reports show that patients with diabetes and COVID-19 are at an increased risk for developing severe complications including acute respiratory distress syndrome, multi-organ failure, and death. Here we explore potential mechanistic links that could explain the observed higher morbidity and mortality in this patient population. Patients with T2DM have an underlying increased level of inflammation associated with obesity and insulin resistance in addition to other comorbidities including hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and being older. We review evidence that T2DM with hyperglycemia are among factors that lead to elevated expression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) in lungs and other tissues; ACE2 is the cellular "receptor" and port of viral entry. The preexisting chronic inflammation with augmented inflammatory response to the infection and the increasing viral load leads to extreme systemic immune response ("cytokine storm") that is strongly associated with increased severity of COVID-19. Based on the available evidence, it is recommended by a panel of experts that safe but stringent control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids be carried out in patients with T2DM, measures that could potentially serve to decrease the severity of COVID-19 should these patients contract the viral infection. Once the infection occurs, then attention should be directed to proper glycemic control with use of insulin and frequent monitoring of blood glucose levels.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a common heterogeneous metabolic disorder, characterized by
deposition of extracellular matrix, oxidative stress, and vascular dysfunction,
thereby leading to gradual loss of function in multiple organs. However, little
attention has been paid to gene expression changes in the lung under
hyperglycemic conditions. In this study, we found that diabetes inuced
histological changes in the lung of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Global
gene expression profiling revealed a set of genes that are up- and
down-regulated in the lung of diabetic mice. Among these, expression of
Amigo2, Adrb2, and Zbtb16 were confirmed
at the transcript level to correlate significantly with hyperglycemia in the
lung. We further evaluated the effect of human umbilical cord-derived
perivascular stem cells (PVCs) on these gene expression in the lung of diabetic
mice. Our results show that administration of PVC-conditioned medium
significantly suppressed Amig2, Adrb2, and
Zbtb16 upregulation in these mice, suggesting that these
genes may be useful indicators of lung injury during hyperglycemia. Furthermore,
PVCs offer a promising alternative cell therapy for treating diabetic
complications via regulation of gene expression.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia is a causative factor in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases, known to induce fibrosis and inflammation in the lung. However, little attention has been paid to genes related to hyperglycemic-induced lung alterations and stem cell applications for therapeutic use. In this study, our microarray data revealed significantly increased levels of junctional adhesion molecule 2 (JAM2) in the high glucose (HG)-induced transcriptional profile in human perivascular cells (hPVCs). The elevated level of JAM2 in HG-treated hPVCs was transcriptionally and epigenetically reversible when HG treatment was removed. We further investigated the expression of JAM2 using in vivo and in vitro hyperglycemic models. Our results showed significant upregulation of JAM2 in the lungs of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice, which was greatly suppressed by the administration of conditioned medium obtained from human mesenchymal stem cell cultures. Furthermore, JAM2 was found to be significantly upregulated in human pluripotent stem cell-derived multicellular alveolar organoids by exposure to HG. Our results suggest that JAM2 may play an important role in STZ-induced lung alterations and could be a potential indicator for predicting the therapeutic effects of stem cells and drugs in diabetic lung complications.
