Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024:10.1007/s00261-024-04383-9. [PMID: 38900315 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04383-9] [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: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Pancreas transplantation is a complex surgical procedure performed to restore normoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes and includes whole/segmental organ transplant and islet cell transplantation (ICT). In the United States, simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant (SPK) is most commonly performed due to the higher occurrence of end-stage renal disease in diabetic patients. Understanding the surgical technique and postoperative anatomy is imperative for effective and accurate surveillance following transplantation. Imaging plays an essential role in patients with pancreatic transplants and is often used to evaluate viability, vascular and parenchymal anatomy, and identify potential complications. Imaging techniques such as ultrasound, color and spectral Doppler, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and angiography have a complementary role in the postoperative evaluation following a pancreas transplant. The common complications after a whole organ pancreas transplant include vascular thrombosis, graft rejection, pancreatitis, and infections. Complications can be classified into vascular (partial or complete venous thrombosis, arterial thrombosis, stenosis or pseudoaneurysm), parenchymal (pancreatitis, graft rejection), and bowel-related or miscellaneous causes (bowel obstruction, anastomotic leak, and peripancreatic fluid collections). Islet cell transplantation is an innovative therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes. It involves isolating insulin-producing islet cells from donor pancreas and transplanting into recipients, to provide long-term insulin independence or significantly reduce insulin requirements. In recent years, isolation techniques, immunosuppressive regimens, and post-transplant monitoring advancements have propelled ICT as a viable therapeutic option. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the current state-of-the-art imaging techniques discussing both normal and abnormal features following pancreas transplantation.

Abstract
Diabetes's effects on wound healing present a major treatment challenge and increase the risk of amputation. When traditional therapies fail, new approaches must be investigated. With their submicron size and improved cellular internalisation, nanoparticles present a viable way to improve diabetic wound healing. They are attractive options because of their innate antibacterial qualities, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Nanoparticles loaded with organic or inorganic compounds, or embedded in biomimetic matrices such as hydrogels, chitosan, and hyaluronic acid, exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Drug delivery systems (DDSs)-more precisely, nanodrug delivery systems (NDDSs)-use the advantages of nanotechnology to get around some of the drawbacks of traditional DDSs. Recent developments show how expertly designed nanocarriers can carry a variety of chemicals, transforming the treatment of diabetic wounds. Biomaterials that deliver customised medications to the wound microenvironment demonstrate potential. Delivery techniques for nanomedicines become more potent than ever, overcoming conventional constraints. Therapeutics for diabetes-induced non-healing wounds are entering a revolutionary era thanks to precisely calibrated nanocarriers that effectively distribute chemicals. This review highlights the therapeutic potential of nanoparticles and outlines the multifunctional nanoparticles of the future that will be used for complete wound healing in diabetics. The investigation of novel nanodrug delivery systems has the potential to revolutionise diabetic wound therapy and provide hope for more efficient and focused therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by the autoimmune-mediated attack of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to reliance on exogenous insulin to control a patient's blood glucose levels. As progress is being made in understanding the pathophysiology of the disease and how to better develop therapies to treat it, there is an increasing need for monitoring technologies to quantify beta cell mass and function throughout T1D progression and beta cell replacement therapy. Molecular imaging techniques offer a possible solution through both radiologic and non-radiologic means including positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, electron paramagnetic resonance imaging, and spatial omics. This commentary piece outlines the role of molecular imaging in T1D research and highlights the need for further applications of such methodologies in T1D.

Abstract
To fully research the anti-diabetic activity of apricot polysaccharide, low temperature plasma (LTP) was used to modify apricot polysaccharide. The modified polysaccharide was isolated and purified using column chromatography. It was found that LTP modification can significantly improve the α-glucosidase glucosidase inhibition rate of apricot polysaccharides. The isolated fraction FAPP-2D with HG domain showed excellent anti-diabetic activity in insulin resistance model in L6 cell. We found that FAPP-2D increased the ADP/ATP ratio and inhibited PKA phosphorylation, activating the LKB1-AMPK pathway. Moreover, FAPP-2D activated AMPK-PGC1α pathway, which could stimulated mitochondrial production and regulate energy metabolism, promoting GLUT4 protein transport to achieve an anti-diabetic effect. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data showed that the LTP modification could increase the CH bond content while decreasing the C-O-C/C-O bond content, indicating that LTP destroyed the C-O-C/C-O bond, which enhanced the anti-diabetes activity of the modified apricot pectin polysaccharide. Our findings could pave the way for the molecular exploitation of apricot polysaccharides and the application of low-temperature plasma.

Abstract
The portal vein is the largest vessel supplying the liver. A number of radiological interventions are performed through the portal vein, namely for primary pathologies of the portal vein, for inducing liver hypertrophy or to treat the sequelae of portal hypertension among others. The routes used include direct transhepatic, transjugular, and, uncommonly, trans-splenic and through subcutaneous varices. Portal vein embolization and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt are among the most common portal vein interventions that are performed to induce hypertrophy of the future liver remnant and to treat complications of portal hypertension, respectively. Other interventions include transhepatic obliteration of varices and shunts, portal vein thrombolysis, portal vein recanalization, pancreatic islet cell transplantation, and embolization of portal vein injuries. We present a detailed illustrative review of the various radiological portal vein interventions.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are one of the most challenging public health issues of the 21st century due to their inadequate vascular supply, bacterial infections, high levels of oxidative stress, and abnormalities in antioxidant defenses, whereas there is no effective treatment for diabetic wounds. Due to the distinct properties of nanoparticles, such as their small particle size, elevated cellular uptake, low cytotoxicity, antibacterial activity, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The application of nanoparticles has been widely used in the treatment of diabetic wound healing due to their superior anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant activities. These nanoparticles can also be loaded with various agents, such as organic molecules (eg, exosomes, small molecule compounds, etc.), inorganic molecules (metals, nonmetals, etc.), or complexed with various biomaterials, such as smart hydrogels (HG), chitosan (CS), and hyaluronic acid (HA), to augment their therapeutic potential in diabetic wounds. This paper reviews the therapeutic potential and future perspective of nanoparticles in the treatment of diabetic wounds. Together, nanoparticles represent a promising strategy in the treatment of diabetic wound healing. The future direction may be to develop novel nanoparticles with multiple effects that not only act in wound healing at all stages of diabetes but also provide a stable physiological environment throughout the wound-healing process.

Abstract
Pancreatic surgery still remains burdened by high levels of morbidity and mortality with a relevant incidence of complications, even in high volume centers. This review highlights the interventional radiological management of complications after pancreatic surgery. The current literature regarding the percutaneous drainage of fluid collections due to pancreatic fistulas, percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage due to biliary leaks and transcatheter embolization (or stent–graft) due to arterial bleeding is analyzed. Moreover, also, percutaneous intra-portal islet auto-transplantation for the prevention of pancreatogenic diabetes in case of extended pancreatic resection is also examined. Moreover, a topic not usually treated in other similar reviewsas percutaneous intra-portal islet auto-transplantation for the prevention of pancreatogenic diabetes in case of extended pancreatic resection is also one of our areas of focus. In islet auto-transplantation, the patient is simultaneously donor and recipient. Differently from islet allo-transplantation, it does not require immunosuppression, has no risk of rejection and is usually efficient with a small number of transplanted islets.

Abstract
Diabetic heart is one of the common complications of diabetes mellitus. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous product rich in growth factors that can enhance tissue regeneration. This work was conducted to study the PRP ability to improve diabetes-inducing cardiac changes. Also, it sheds more light on the possible mechanisms through which PRP induces its effects. Rats were divided into; control, PRP, diabetic, and PRP-diabetic groups. Cardiac specimens were obtained and processed for biochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical study. The diabetic group exhibited a significant increase in cardiac oxidative stress, inflammation, and cardiac injury markers if compared with the control group. Additionally, the cardiac tissue showed variable morphological changes in the form of focal distortion and loss of cardiac myocytes. Distorted mitochondria and heterochromatic nuclei were observed in the cardiac muscle fibers. The mean number of charcoal-stained macrophages, and mean area fraction for collagen fibers, mean number of PCNA-immune positive cardiac muscle were significantly decrease in PRP- diabetic group. Collectively, the results showed that PRP treatment ameliorated most of all these previous changes. CONCLUSION: PRP ameliorated the diabetic cardiac injury via inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation. It was confirmed by biochemical, histological, and immunohistochemical study. It could be concluded that PRP could be used as a potential therapy for diabetic heart.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic autoimmune disease caused by the specific destruction of pancreatic islet β cells and is characterized as the absolute insufficiency of insulin secretion. Current insulin replacement therapy supplies insulin in a non-physiological way and is associated with devastating complications. Experimental islet transplantation therapy has been proven to restore glucose homeostasis in people with severe T1DM. However, it is restricted by many factors such as severe shortage of donor sources, progressive loss of donor cells, high cost, etc. As pluripotent stem cells have the potential to give rise to all cells including islet β cells in the body, stem cell therapy for diabetes has attracted great attention in the academic community and the general public. Transplantation of islet β-like cells differentiated from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) has the potential to be an excellent alternative to islet transplantation. In stem cell therapy, obtaining β cells with complete insulin secretion in vitro is crucial. However, after much research, it has been found that the β-like cells obtained by in vitro differentiation still have many defects, including lack of adult-type glucose stimulated insulin secretion, and multi-hormonal secretion, suggesting that in vitro culture does not allows for obtaining fully mature β-like cells for transplantation. A large number of studies have found that many transcription factors play important roles in the process of transforming immature to mature human islet β cells. Furthermore, PDX1, NKX6.1, SOX9, NGN3, PAX4, etc., are important in inducing hPSC differentiation in vitro. The absent or deficient expression of any of these key factors may lead to the islet development defect in vivo and the failure of stem cells to differentiate into genuine functional β-like cells in vitro. This article reviews β cell maturation in vivo and in vitro and the vital roles of key molecules in this process, in order to explore the current problems in stem cell therapy for diabetes.

Abstract
Diabetic wound shows delayed and incomplete healing processes, which in turn exposes patients to an environment with a high risk of infection. This article has summarized current developments of nanoparticles/hydrogels and nanotechnology used for promoting the wound healing process in either diabetic animal models or patients with diabetes mellitus. These nanoparticles/hydrogels promote diabetic wound healing by loading bioactive molecules (such as growth factors, genes, proteins/peptides, stem cells/exosomes, etc.) and non-bioactive substances (metal ions, oxygen, nitric oxide, etc.). Among them, smart hydrogels (a very promising method for loading many types of bioactive components) are currently favored by researchers. In addition, nanoparticles/hydrogels can be combined with some technology (including PTT, LBL self-assembly technique and 3D-printing technology) to treat diabetic wound repair. By reviewing the recent literatures, we also proposed new strategies for improving multifunctional treatment of diabetic wounds in the future.

Abstract
Clinical trials that have used encapsulated islet cell therapy have been few and overall disappointing. This is due in part to the lack of suitable methods to monitor the integrity vs. rupture of transplanted microcapsules over time. Fluorocapsules were synthesized by embedding emulsions of perfluoro-15-crown-5-ether (PFC), a bioinert compound detectable by 19F MRI, into dual-alginate layer, Ba2+-gelled alginate microcapsules. Fluorocapsules were spherical with an apparent smooth surface and an average diameter of 428 ± 52 μm. After transplantation into mice, the 19F MRI signal of capsules remained stable for up to 90 days, corresponding to the total number of intact fluorocapsules. When single-alginate layer capsules were ruptured with alginate lyase, the 19F MRI signal dissipated within 4 days. For fluoroencapsulated luciferase-expressing mouse βTC6 insulinoma cells implanted into autoimmune NOD/ShiLtJ mice and subjected to alginate-lyase induced capsule rupture in vivo, the 19F MRI signal decreased sharply over time along with a decrease in bioluminescence imaging signal used as a measure of cell viability in vivo. These results indicate that maintenance of capsule integrity is essential for preserving transplanted cell survival, where a decrease in 19F MRI signal may serve as a predictive imaging surrogate biomarker for impending failure of encapsulated islet cell therapy.

Abstract
Non-healing, chronic wounds place a huge burden on healthcare systems as well as individual patients. These chronic wounds especially diabetic wounds will ultimately lead to compromised mobility, amputation of limbs and even death. Currently, wounds and limb ulcers associated with diabetes remain significant health issues; the associated healthcare cost ultimately leads to the increased clinical burden. The presence of diabetes interrupts a highly coordinated cascade of events in the wound closure process. Advances in the understanding of pathophysiological conditions associated with diabetic wounds lead to the development of drug delivery systems which can enhance wound healing by targeting various phases of the impaired processes. Wound environments typically contain degradative enzymes, along with an elevated pH and demonstrate a physiological cascade involved in the regeneration of tissue, which requires the application of an effective delivery system. This article aims to review the pathophysiological conditions associated with chronic and diabetic wounds. The delivery systems, involved in their treatment are described, highlighting potential biomaterials and polymers for establishing drug delivery systems, specifically for the treatment of diabetic wounds and the promotion of the associated mechanisms involved in advanced wound healing. Emerging approaches and engineered devices for effective wound care are reported. The discussion will give insight into the mechanisms relevant to all stages of wound healing.
