Global cognition and executive functions of older adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus without dementia. J Diabetes Investig 2024; 15:922-930. [PMID: 38525910 PMCID: PMC11215676 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.14191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION This study aimed to characterize the global cognition and executive functions of older adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus in comparison with type 2 diabetes mellitus. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 37 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus aged ≥65 years and 37 age- and sex-matched patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients with dementia scoring <24 on the Mini-Mental State Examination were excluded. General cognition, memory, classic, and practical executive function were investigated. RESULTS Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus demonstrated lower psychomotor speed scores on Trail Making Tests A and B (P < 0.001, P < 0.013) than those with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The dysexecutive syndrome behavioral assessment revealed similar results in patients with types 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus. The Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised verbal episodic memory and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Japanese version were similar in terms of general cognition, but worse delayed recall subset on the latter was associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P = 0.038). A worse Trail Making Test-A performance was associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus and age (P < 0.004, P < 0.029). CONCLUSIONS Executive function of psychomotor speed was worse in older outpatient adults without dementia with type 1 diabetes mellitus than in those with type 2 diabetes mellitus but with no significant differences in the comprehensive and practical behavioral assessment of dysexecutive syndrome. Patients with type 1 diabetes had more severely impaired executive function, whereas those with type 2 had greater impaired memory than executive function.

Tang X, Han YP, Chai YH, Gong HJ, Xu H, Patel I, Qiao YS, Zhang JY, Cardoso MA, Zhou JB. Association of kidney function and brain health: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies. Ageing Res Rev 2022; 82:101762. [PMID: 36374833 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2022.101762] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/05/2022] [Revised: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 10/14/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the bidirectional association between the kidney dysfunction and the brain health, including structural and functional abnormalities. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis with network meta-analysis for outcomes with different estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ranges. DATA SOURCES PubMed, Embase database, Cochrane library and Web of Science (up to Dec. 2021). ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIES Longitudinal studies that provided evidence of the impact of kidney function estimated from eGFR and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) or chronic kidney disease (CKD) on structural and functional brain abnormalities, and those that provided evidence of the opposite relationship. Studies with study population mean age under 18 years old were excluded. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Two independent reviewers screened the included studies, extracted the data, and assessed the risk of bias. We performed a random-effects meta-analysis and a network meta-analysis for outcomes with compatible data. We assessed the risk of bias using the Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale criteria (NOS). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to explore heterogeneity in the meta-analyses. Inconsistency analyses using the node-splitting method were performed to confirm the results of network meta-analysis. RESULTS A total of 53 studies with 3037,357 participants were included in the current systematic review. Among these, 16 provided evidence of structural brain abnormalities, and 38 provided evidence of cognitive impairment and dementia. Analysis of evidence of categorical kidney function showed a positive association between kidney dysfunction and cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD) (relative risk (RR) 1.77, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.40-2.24, I2 = 0.0%), but such results were not found in the analyses of evidence where the kidney function was measured as a continuous variable. Meanwhile, analysis of 28 prior longitudinal studies with 194 compatible sets of data showed that the worse kidney function as categorical variables was related to a greater risk of global brain cognitive disorder (RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.20-1.36, I2 = 82.5%). CONCLUSIONS In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we found a positive association between CKD and functional brain disorders. However, the relationship between the kidney dysfunction and structural abnormalities in the brain remains controversial. As for the opposite relationship, structural brain abnormalities, especially cerebral microbleeds and silent infarction, but not functional brain abnormalities, are associated with worse renal function. In addition, a higher UACR, but not a lower eGFR, was associated with a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.

Abstract
Cognitive dysfunctions such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and other forms of dementia are recognized as common comorbidities of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Currently, there are no disease-modifying therapies or definitive clinical diagnostic and prognostic tools for dementia, and the mechanisms underpinning the link between T2DM and cognitive dysfunction remain equivocal. Some of the suggested pathophysiological mechanisms underlying cognitive decline in diabetes patients include hyperglycemia, insulin resistance and altered insulin signaling, neuroinflammation, cerebral microvascular injury, and buildup of cerebral amyloid and tau proteins. Given the skyrocketing global rates of diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders, there is an urgent need to discover novel biomarkers relevant to the co-morbidity of both conditions to guide future diagnostic approaches. This review aims to provide a comprehensive background of the potential risk factors, the identified biomarkers of diabetes-related cognitive decrements, and the underlying processes of diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction. Aging, poor glycemic control, hypoglycemia and hyperglycemic episodes, depression, and vascular complications are associated with increased risk of dementia. Conclusive research studies that have attempted to find specific biomarkers are limited. However, the most frequent considerations in such investigations are related to C reactive protein, tau protein, brain-derived neurotrophic factor, advanced glycation end products, glycosylated hemoglobin, and adipokines.

Abstract
The incidence of diabetes is gradually increasing in China, and diabetes and associated complications, such as cognitive dysfunction have gained much attention in recent time. However, the concepts, clinical treatment, and prevention of cognitive dysfunction in patients with diabetes remain unclear. The Chinese Society of Endocrinology investigated the current national and overseas situation of cognitive dysfunction associated with diabetes. Based on research both in China and other countries worldwide, the Expert Consensus on Cognitive Dysfunction in Diabetes was established to guide physicians in the comprehensive standardized management of cognitive dysfunction in diabetes and to improve clinical outcomes in Chinese patients. This consensus presents an overview, definition and classification, epidemiology and pathogenesis, risk factors, screening, diagnosis, differential diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cognitive dysfunction in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Microvascular complications can accelerate cognitive impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and have a high impact on their quality of life; however, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. The complex network in the human brain is the physiological basis for information processing and cognitive expression. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between the functional network topological properties and cognitive function in T2DM patients with and without microvascular complications (T2DM-C and T2DM-NC, respectively). Sixty-seven T2DM patients and 41 healthy controls (HCs) underwent resting-state functional MRI and neuropsychological assessment. Then, graph theoretical network analysis was performed to explore the global and nodal topological alterations in the functional whole brain networks of T2DM patients. Correlation analyses were performed to investigate the relationship between the altered topological parameters and cognitive/clinical variables. The T2DM-C group exhibited significantly higher local efficiency (Eloc), normalized cluster coefficient (γ), and small-world characteristics (σ) than the HCs. Patients with T2DM at different clinical stages (T2DM-C and T2DM-NC) showed varying degrees of abnormalities in node properties. In addition, compared with T2DM-NC patients, T2DM-C patients showed nodal properties disorders in the occipital visual network, cerebellum and middle temporal gyrus. The Eloc metrics were positively correlated with HbA1c level (P = 0.001, r = 0.515) and the NE values in the right paracentral lobule were negatively related with serum creatinine values (P = 0.001, r = −0.517) in T2DM-C patients. This study found that T2DM-C patients displayed more extensive changes at different network topology scales. The visual network and cerebellar may be the central vulnerable regions of T2DM-C patients.

Abstract
Introduction In diabetes mellitus (DM), the underlying pathophysiology of albuminuria and cognitive dysfunction is similar. So, we hypothesized that urinary albumin excretion (UAE) could be linked to cognitive dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods and Materials It was a hospital-based observational study. Patient aged 40-60 years with type 2 DM were included in this study. Complete assessment with detailed history, physical examination, and necessary biochemical investigations including spot urine albumin creatinine ratio (uACR) was done. Cognitive status was determined in all the individuals with the application of Hindi translated version of the mini-mental status examination (MMSE) questionnaire. Results In 80 patients, the mean MMSE score was 25.37 ± 3.34. Cognitive dysfunction (score <26) was present in 45% of individuals. Spot uACR, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), presence of retinopathy and dyslipidemia were significantly different between the normal and subnormal scoring groups. On multivariate analysis spot uACR was found to be independently predicting odds of developing cognitive dysfunction (OR 1.01, CI 1.004-1.022; P = 0.001). The mean MMSE scores in normo-albuminuric (n = 15), moderately increased albuminuric (n = 48) and severely albuminuric (n = 17) patients were 28.00 ± 1.60, 25.54 ± 3.33 and 22.58 ± 2.31, respectively, which were significantly different among the three groups (P < 0.001). Conclusions Spot uACR could be helpful in predicting cognitive decline in people with type 2 DM.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetes-related cerebral microangiopathy can manifest as cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and exhibit cognitive decline. To find the early change of function in advance, this study examined the spatiotemporal dynamics of cerebral vascular permeability (Ktrans) in the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Ktrans was cross-sectionally measured in T2DM and non-diabetes groups with or without CSVD using dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI). RESULTS In all patients with T2DM, the Ktrans of white matter (WM) was increased, whereas the Ktrans of gray matter (GM) was increased only in T2DM with CSVD. The involvement of WM was earlier than GM and was before the CSVD features could be visualized on MRI. Among the commonly available four CSVD items of MRI, microbleeds were the most sensitive, indicating the increased permeability in all patients. Increased Ktrans in T2DM was more associated with moderate WM hyperintensity but less with the presence of lacunae or multiple perivascular spaces, in contrast to patients without diabetes. The differential correlation suggested distinct mechanisms underlying diabetes-related CSVD and other CSVDs. CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the early development of cerebral microangiopathy with increased BBB leakage in T2DM, before the CSVD features can be visualized on MRI. The results may increase the proactivity of clinicians in recognizing the subsequent neurological comorbidities.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of serological level homocysteine (Hcy) and cystatin C (Cys-C) as biomarkers for progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods Seventy-five patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) hospitalized in Lishui People’s Hospital from January 2015 to May 2018 were included in the present study. Of the 75 cases, 28 were simple DM, 25 were early stage DN (DNe) and other 22 subjects were clinical stage DN (DNc). The serum level of Hcy and Cys-C were detected and compared among the DM, DNe and DNc groups. The efficacy of serological levels of Hcy, and Cys-C as biomarkers for diagnosis of early stage diabetic nephropathy was calculated.
Results The serological levels of Hcy were 11.53±3.05 μmol/L, 15.39±4.58 μmol/L and 18.14±7.03 μmol/L for DM, DNe and DNc groups respectively (P<0.001). Serum level of Cys-C, were 0.89±0.23 mg/L, 1.51±0.60 mg/L and 2.63±0.90 mg/L respectively for DM, DNe and DNc groups respectively (P<0.001). Significant positive correlation between serum Cys-C and Hcy was detected in DNe (rpearson=0.55, P=0.004) and DNc (rpearson=0.44, P=0.04) groups. However, there was no significant correlation of serological Cys-C and Hcy in DM group (rpearson=0.08, P=0.70). The sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of early stage DN were 76.0 (95%CI:54.87-90.64)%, 64.29 (544.07-81.36)% for serological Hcy and 80.0 (559.30-93.17)%, 89.29 (571.77-97.73)% for serum Cys-C respectively. The diagnostic area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.76 (0.63 to 0.90) and 0.84 (0.72-0.96) respectively for serum Hcy and Cys-C in detection early stage DN.
Conclusion: Serum levels of Hcy and Cys-C in diabetic nephropathy patients were elevated compared to that of simple DM cases, making them potential biomarkers for diagnosis of early DN from DM patients.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder that affects multiple organ systems. DM also affects brain processes, contributing to various CNS disorders, including depression, anxiety and Alzheimer's disease. Despite active research in humans, rodent models and in-vitro systems, the pathogenetic link between DM and brain disorders remains poorly understood. Novel translational models and new model organisms are therefore essential to more fully study the impact of DM on CNS. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a powerful novel model species to study metabolic and CNS disorders. Here, we discuss how DM alters brain functions and behavior in zebrafish, and summarize their translational relevance to studying DM-related CNS pathogenesis in humans. We recognize the growing utility of zebrafish models in translational DM research, as they continue to improve our understanding of different brain pathologies associated with DM, and may foster the discovery of drugs that prevent or treat these diseases.
