[PMID: 36845662 PMCID: PMC9945283 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2023.1106792] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/17/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction To explore the association between regional gray matter volume (GMV) and cognitive impairments and ascertain whether the regional brain alterations related to cognitive impairments occur in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients with comorbid subclinical hypothyroidism (SHypo). Methods We enrolled 32 MDD patients, 32 MDD patients with comorbid SHypo, and 32 normal controls and subjected them to thyroid function tests, neurocognitive tests, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis, we examined the pattern of gray matter (GM) in these participants. We also used ANOVA to detect group differences and partial correlation to explore the potential association between GMV alterations and cognitive tests in comorbid patients. Results The comorbid patients exhibited significantly smaller GMV in the right middle frontal gyrus (MFG) than the non-comorbid group. Furthermore, the partial correlation analysis showed that GMV of the right MFG was associated with poor executive function (EF) performance in comorbid patients. Conclusion These findings provide valuable insight into the relationship between the alteration of GMV and cognitive dysfunction of MDD patients with comorbid SHypo.

Comorbid autoimmune diseases and burden of diabetes-related complications in patients with type 1 diabetes from a Mediterranean area. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2022; 191:110031. [PMID: 35934173 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2022.110031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
AIM To assess the prevalence of autoimmune diseases (AID) in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to evaluate whether the rate of diabetes-related complications differs depending on the presence of AID. METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of 13,570 T1D patients aged ≥ 18 years registered in the SIDIAP database. The association between AID and diabetes-related complications was assessed by multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS The prevalence of AID was 18.3% with thyroid AID being the most common. Patients with T1D and AID were more often female and their current age, age of diabetes onset and diabetes duration were higher. Patients with only thyroid AID experienced a lower risk of peripheral artery disease (odds ratio [OR] = 0.51, 95%; confidence interval [CI] 0.31 to 0.81) and kidney disease (OR = 0.68, 95%; 95% CI 0.54 to 0.85), whereas patients with other AID had an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (OR = 1.48, 95%; 95% CI 1.04 to 2.06). CONCLUSIONS The burden of diabetes-related complications in patients with T1D differs according to the type of additional AID. The presence of diabetes complications is lower in those with autoimmune thyroid disease while the presence of other AID is associated with higher rates of ischemic heart disease.

Serum Antithyroglobulin Antibody Levels Are Associated with Diabetic Retinopathy among Euthyroid Type 2 Diabetes Patients: A Hospital-Based, Retrospective Study. J Diabetes Res 2022; 2022:2552186. [PMID: 35036446 PMCID: PMC8758256 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2552186] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 12/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have revealed that the variation of thyroid indicators may be associated with the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among euthyroid type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. But the specific conclusions are currently inconsistent. METHODS This is a hospital-based retrospective survey. We recruited 1,145 euthyroid T2D patients and checked the thyroid function and fundus photographs. The modified Airlie House classification system was used to categorize the stages of DR. The association between thyroid indicators and different stages of DR was analyzed. RESULTS We divided free triiodothyronine (FT3) into tertiles and found that the prevalence of mild nonproliferative DR (NPDR) was significantly higher in T2, compared with T1 (32.0% vs. 25.2%, p < 0.05). When FT3 was within the level of T2, FT3 could be an independent risk factor for mild NPDR (OR 1.426, 95% CI (1.031, 1.971), p < 0.05). In addition, the prevalence of severe NPDR and proliferative DR (PDR) was significantly higher in thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) positive group (8.8% vs. 4.1%, p < 0.05) and vice versa (33.3% vs. 18.4%, p < 0.05). TgAb positivity was also an independent risk factor for severe NPDR and PDR (OR 2.212, 95% CI (1.244, 3.934), p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS We hardly observed a significant change in DR risk with the elevation or reduction of serum TSH or thyroid hormone within the reference interval. Although the slightly elevated FT3 may be associated to mild NPDR, the extensibility of this result remains to be seen. For T2D patients with euthyroid function, there may be a significant correlation between serum TgAb positivity and severe NPDR and PDR.

Characteristics of Patients with Type 1 Diabetes and Additional Autoimmune Disease in the DPV Registry. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2021; 106:e3381-e3389. [PMID: 34061946 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgab376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Autoimmune diseases affect ~8% of the population. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is linked to other autoimmune diseases (AIDs), such as autoimmune thyroid disease or Addison's disease (AD), that may impact diabetes therapy and outcome. OBJECTIVE To analyze demographic and clinical characteristics of other AIDs in T1DM from a large standardized registry, the Prospective Diabetes Follow-up Registry (DPV). METHODS We searched the registry for T1DM with the additional diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), Graves' disease (GD), and/or AD. T1DM with other AIDs (n = 6166, 5.4%) were compared with isolated T1DM (n = 107 457). For group comparisons, we used multivariable regression models with age, sex, diabetes duration, migration background, and type of insulin regimen as basic adjustments (microvascular endpoints: additionally adjusted for glycated hemoglobin). RESULTS Patients with additional AIDs were more often female (54.7 vs 32.0%, P < .001) and had a longer diabetes duration (7.9 [4.2-12.5] vs 6.7 [2.7-12.9] years, P < .001). After adjustment, daily insulin dosage was higher in AD and HT than in isolated T1DM (0.858 ± 0.032 and 0.813 ± 0.005 vs 0.793 ± 0.001 IU/kg per day). Retinopathy was less common in HT (1.5%), whereas it was more frequent in GD (3.1%) than in isolated T1DM (1.8%). In both GD and HT, microalbuminuria occurred less often (10.6% and 14.3% vs 15.5%) and neuropathy (2.1% and 1.8% vs 0.8%) was more common than in isolated T1DM. All P < .05. CONCLUSION T1DM with additional AIDs show heterogeneous differences compared with isolated T1DM. T1DM plus AD or HT requires more insulin. Further, the rate of neuropathy is higher in HT or GD, whereas the rate of microalbuminuria is lower.

[PMID: 33064261 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-020-02490-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2020] [Accepted: 08/31/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Sex differences in depressive disorder (DD) and subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) have been well recognized. However, few studies focus on the sex differences in DD patients with SCH. The purpose of this study is to address the sex differences in DD inpatients with SCH and further investigate the clinical characteristics and associations between DD and SCH among female and male depressed inpatients. METHODS A total of 1787 hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of DD were recruited. Depression was assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 items (HAMD), and anxiety was assessed using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. Blood test, including serum thyroid hormone levels, was measured. According to different genders, associations between DD and the presence of SCH were estimated using binary logistic regression. RESULTS In the 1787 hospitalized patients with DD, the prevalence of SCH was 11.8%; the prevalence of SCH in female depressed inpatients is approximately two times that of male inpatients (14.6 vs. 7.4%, P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that recurrent episodes and high BMI were associated with SCH in female inpatients (both P < 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that thyroid stimulating hormone levels were associated with BMI (P < 0.05), total cholesterol levels (P < 0.05), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels (P < 0.05) in female inpatients. CONCLUSIONS Our present study showed that the prevalence of SCH among female hospitalized patients with depression is approximately two times that of male inpatients. Recurrent and high-BMI female depressed inpatients are at high risk to develop SCH. More attention should be paid to the thyroid function of female inpatients with DD in future clinical work.
