Effect of sustained decreases in sedentary time and increases in physical activity on liver enzymes and indices in type 2 diabetes. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1393859. [PMID: 38854689 PMCID: PMC11157683 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1393859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 05/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Current guidelines for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) recommend high volumes and/or intensities of physical activity (PA), the achievement of which generally requires participation in supervised exercise training programs that however are difficult to implement in routine clinical practice. Conversely, counselling interventions may be more suitable, but result in only modest increases in moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA). This study assessed whether a counseling intervention for increasing PA and decreasing sedentary time (SED-time) is effective in improving NAFLD markers in people with type 2 diabetes. Methods Three-hundred physically inactive and sedentary patients were randomized 1:1 to receive one-month theoretical and practical counseling once-a-year (intervention group) or standard care (control group) for 3 years. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γGT) levels were measured and fatty liver index (FLI), hepatic steatosis index (HSI), and visceral adiposity index (VAI) were calculated. Total PA volume, light-intensity PA (LPA), moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA), and SED-time were objectively measured by an accelerometer. Results Throughout the 3-year period, NAFLD markers did not change in the control group, whereas ALT, γGT, FLI, and HSI decreased in the intervention group, with significant between-group differences, despite modest MVPA increases, which however were associated with larger decrements in SED-time and reciprocal increments in LPA. Mean changes in NAFLD markers varied according to quartiles of (and correlated with) changes in MVPA (all markers) and SED-time, LPA, and PA volume (ALT, γGT, and HSI). Mean changes in MVPA or PA volume were independent predictors of changes in NAFLD markers. When included in the models, change in cardiorespiratory fitness and lower body muscle strength were independently associated with some NAFLD markers. Conclusion A behavior change involving all domains of PA lifestyle, even if insufficient to achieve the recommended MVPA target, may provide beneficial effects on NAFLD markers in people with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Background Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) contributes to disability and imposes heavy burdens, while subclinical DPN is lack of attention so far. We aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D and distinct subtypes of subclinical DPN in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 3629 T2DM inpatients who undertook nerve conduction study to detect subclinical DPN in Zhongshan Hospital between March 2012 and December 2019. Vitamin D deficiency was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level < 50 nmol/L. Results 1620 (44.6%) patients had subclinical DPN and they were further divided into subgroups: distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN) (n=685), mononeuropathy (n=679) and radiculopathy (n=256). Compared with non-DPN, DPN group had significantly lower level of 25(OH)D (P < 0.05). In DPN subtypes, only DSPN patients had significantly lower levels of 25(OH)D (36.18 ± 19.47 vs. 41.03 ± 18.47 nmol/L, P < 0.001) and higher proportion of vitamin D deficiency (78.54% vs. 72.18%, P < 0.001) than non-DPN. Vitamin D deficiency was associated with the increased prevalence of subclinical DPN [odds ratio (OR) 1.276, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.086-1.501, P = 0.003] and DSPN [OR 1. 646, 95% CI 1.31-2.078, P < 0.001], independent of sex, age, weight, blood pressure, glycosylated hemoglobin, T2DM duration, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone, lipids and renal function. The association between vitamin D deficiency and mononeuropathy or radiculopathy was not statistically significant. A negative linear association was observed between 25(OH)D and subclinical DSPN. Vitamin D deficiency maintained its significant association with subclinical DSPN in all age groups. Conclusions Vitamin D deficiency was independently associated with subclinical DSPN, rather than other DPN subtypes.

Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by predominantly increasing large-fiber lesions. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2024; 209:111585.

Abstract
AIMS This study explores the link between Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS Involving 257 elderly T2DM patients, the study utilized propensity score matching to balance age, sex, and diabetes duration. VDD was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels below 20 ng/ml. Large nerve fiber lesions were evaluated by electromyogram, while small nerve fiber lesions were assessed by measuring skin conductance. RESULTS DPN patients had notably lower serum 25(OH)D levels than non-DPN patients [15.05 vs. 18.4 ng/ml, P = 0.018]. VDD was identified as an independent risk factor for DPN (odds ratio = 2.488, P = 0.008) in multivariate logistic regression analysis. Spearman's correlation showed negative correlations between serum 25(OH)D levels and specific nerve latencies, and positive correlations with specific nerve velocities and amplitudes. The VDD group exhibited longer median sensory nerve latencies and motor evoked potential latencies compared to the vitamin D-sufficient group. Further, VDD is associated with the prolongation of the median motor nerve latency (odds ratio = 1.362, P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS VDD is independently associated with a higher risk of DPN. VDD may promote the development of DPN by affecting large nerve fibers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triad "insulin resistance, prediabetes, diabetes" is three independent neologies with characteristic features and development. In addition, each are characterized by progression and the possibility of transition from one form to other. Due to the fact that diabetes is one of the common diseases associated with high rates of disability, it is necessary to improve diagnostic methods and educational regimens for successful prevention and treatment of the disease. OBJECTIVE We investigated Band 3 protein (B3p) level, osmotic resistance of erythrocytes, the total antioxidant activity (TAA) of blood serum, level of HbA1 in group patients with insulin resistance (IR), prediabetes, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and comparative with health control group. METHODS We used original, accurate research methods that measure the essence of the studied quantities. RESULTS Disruptions of glucose and insulin homeostasis ay lead to the initiation of oxidative stress (in our study demonstrated by a decrease of TAA of blood serum) increased redox-sensitive PTP activity and aberrant band 3 phosphorylation, potentially leading to reduced erythrocyte deformability. At the same time glycation of Hb during T2DM may affect its cross-link with membrane proteins, in particular with B3p, and although appears to limit its cross-linking and decrease its clusterization ability, induces alterations in the cytoskeletal matrix, and thereby decrease erythrocytes' osmotic resistance making them more susceptible to hemolysis. CONCLUSIONS The osmotic resistance of the erythrocytes can be used as a sensitive marker for the detection of the early stages of hyperglycemia (prediabetes). This set of clinical trials will make it possible to identify diseases that make up the triad at an early stage. Early detection of disorders and continued research in this direction will help in the development of a diagnostic scheme for the prevention of such patients. Based on our data, research into anti-oxidation drugs is very important. With the help of the array of studies described in the article and antioxidant treatment, the likelihood of successful treatment will increase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lepidium sativum, Garden Cress (GC), seeds have a lot of natural molecules with a pronounced activity against different disorders. It was reported that GC seeds have the ability to lower the blood glucose level. AIM The aim of this work was to formulate GC seeds into oral tablets containing a fixed dose of the grounded seeds. Furthermore, the anti-diabetic performance of the prepared tablets was studied in the streptozotocin rats' model in comparison with positive control metformin. METHODS Micrometrics of GC grounded seeds with different excipients were investigated. Then, GC tablets were prepared via direct compression technique. GC tablets were characterized for their uniformity of dosage unit, friability, hardness, disintegration time, and in vitro release. The antidiabetic effect was studied in rats for a period of 28 days. Glycosylated hemoglobin, liver performance, and lipid levels include total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) were also estimated. In addition, histopathological study of liver and pancreas was also performed. RESULTS Prosolv®EasyTab produced tablets with higher hardness, lower disintegration time, and fast release. GC tablets significantly lower the elevated blood glucose level. In addition, they have antihyperlipidemic activity, hepatocellular protective role and restore the histology of the liver and pancreas. CONCLUSION GC tablets could be a promising alternative formulation to control the high blood glucose level in diabetic rats rather than chemically derivatized drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The assessment of the normative values of sensory nerve action potentials (SNAP) and their diagnostic accuracies using validated neuropathy-assessment tools to classify participants into groups with and without neuropathy was not previously described in the literature. METHODS The Utah Early Neuropathy Scale (UENS), Michigan neuropathy-screening instrument, and nerve conduction data were collected prospectively. We described and compared the values of the sural, superficial peroneal sensory (SPS), and superficial radial SNAP amplitude in different age groups for three groups. Group 1 (G1)-control participants (UENS <5), group 2 (G2)-participants with diabetes without clinical diabetic neuropathy (UENS <5), and group 3 (G3)-participants with clinical diabetic neuropathy (UENS ≥5). We also described the diagnostic accuracy of single-nerve amplitude and a combined sensory polyneuropathy index (CSPNI) that consists of four total points (one point for each of the following nerves if their amplitude was <25% lower limit of normal: right sural, left sural, right SPS, and left SPS potentials). RESULTS We assessed 135 participants, including 41, 37, and 57 participants in G1, G2, and G3, respectively, with age median (interquartile ranges) of 51 (45-56), 47 (38-56), and 54 (51-61) years, respectively, whereas 19 (46.3%), 18 (48.7%), and 32 (56.14%) of them were males, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) scores were 68.4%, 92.3%, 86.7%, and 80% for the sural amplitude; 86%, 58.3%, 62%, and 84% for the SPS amplitude; 66.7%, 94.4%, 90.5%, and 78.2% for the CSPNI of 3; and 54.4%, 98.6%, 96.9%, and 73.2% for the CSPNI of 4, respectively. CONCLUSION Sural nerve had a high specificity for neuropathy; however, the CSPNI had the highest specificity and PPV, whereas the SPS had the highest sensitivity and NPV.

Abstract
Affecting an estimated 88 million Americans, prediabetes increases the risk for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and independently, cardiovascular disease, retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Nevertheless, little is known about the use of metformin for diabetes prevention among patients in the Veterans Health Administration, the largest integrated healthcare system in the U.S. This is a retrospective observational cohort study of the proportion of Veterans with incident prediabetes who were prescribed metformin at the Veterans Health Administration from October 2010 to September 2019. Among 1,059,605 Veterans with incident prediabetes, 12,009 (1.1%) were prescribed metformin during an average 3.4 years of observation after diagnosis. Metformin prescribing was marginally higher (1.6%) among those with body mass index (BMI) ≥35 kg/m2, age <60 years, HbA1c≥6.0%, or those with a history of gestational diabetes, all subgroups at a higher risk for progression to T2DM. In a multivariable model, metformin was more likely to be prescribed for those with BMI ≥35 kg/m2 incidence rate ratio [IRR] 2.6 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 2.1-3.3], female sex IRR, 2.4 [95% CI: 1.8-3.3], HbA1c≥6% IRR, 1.93 [95% CI: 1.5-2.4], age <60 years IRR, 1.7 [95% CI: 1.3-2.3], hypertriglyceridemia IRR, 1.5 [95% CI: 1.2-1.9], hypertension IRR, 1.5 [95% CI: 1.1-2.1], Major Depressive Disorder IRR, 1.5 [95% CI: 1.1-2.0], or schizophrenia IRR, 2.1 [95% CI: 1.2-3.8]. Over 20% of Veterans with prediabetes attended a comprehensive structured lifestyle modification clinic or program. Among Veterans with prediabetes, metformin was prescribed to 1.1% overall, a proportion that marginally increased to 1.6% in the subset of individuals at highest risk for progression to T2DM.

Gray J, Thynne TR, Eaton V, Larcombe R, Tantiongco M, Karnon J. Using Expert Elicitation to Adjust Published Intervention Effects to Reflect the Local Context. MDM Policy Pract 2024; 9:23814683231226335. [PMID: 38283395 PMCID: PMC10812103 DOI: 10.1177/23814683231226335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Background. Local health services make limited use of economic evaluation to inform decisions to fund new health service interventions. One barrier is the relevance of published intervention effects to the local setting, given these effects can strongly reflect the original evaluation context. Expert elicitation methods provide a structured approach to explicitly and transparently adjust published effect estimates, which can then be used in local-level economic evaluations to increase their local relevance. Expert elicitation was used to adjust published effect estimates for 2 interventions targeting the prevention of inpatient hypoglycemia. Methods. Elicitation was undertaken with 6 clinical experts. They were systematically presented with information regarding potential differences in patient characteristics and quality of care between the published study and local contexts, and regarding the design and application of the published study. The experts then assessed the intervention effects and provided estimates of the most realistic, most pessimistic, and most optimistic intervention effect sizes in the local context. Results. The experts estimated both interventions would be less effective in the local setting compared with the published effect estimates. For one intervention, the experts expected the lower complexity of admitted patients in the local setting would reduce the intervention's effectiveness. For the other intervention, the reduced effect was largely driven by differences in the scope of implementation (hospital-wide in the local setting compared with targeted implementation in the evaluation). Conclusions. The pragmatic elicitation methods reported in this article provide a feasible and acceptable approach to assess and adjust published intervention effects to better reflect expected effects in the local context. Further development and application of these methods is proposed to facilitate the use of local-level economic evaluation. Highlights Local health services make limited use of economic evaluation to inform their decisions on the funding of new health service interventions. One barrier to use is the relevance of published intervention evaluations to the local setting.Expert elicitation methods provide a structured way to consider differences between the evaluation and local settings and to explicitly and transparently adjust published effect estimates for use in local economic evaluations.The pragmatic elicitation methods reported in this article offer a feasible and acceptable approach to adjusting published intervention effects to better reflect the effects expected in the local context. This increases the relevance of economic evaluations for local decision makers.

Complement Ther Clin Pract 2023; 53:101802. [PMID: 37769432 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctcp.2023.101802] [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: 07/14/2023] [Revised: 09/10/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to compare the relative effectiveness of different forms of mind-body exercise in improving glycolipid metabolism in patients with T2DM using a network meta-analysis. METHODS The relevant literature was systematically searched in Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang database and VIP Chinese Science. A network meta-analysis was conducted using a random-effects model within a frequentist framework. RESULTS A total of 52 studies with 6 modalities of mind-body exercise involving 4024 patients were included. Compared with controls, all exercise modalities except Yijinjing significantly improved patients' fasting blood glucose (MDs ranged from -0.72(95% CI: -1.20,-0.25) in dance to -2.06(95% CI: -2.59,-1.54) in yoga), glycated hemoglobin (MDs ranged from -0.62 (95% CI: -0.96) in taijiquan to -0.27,-0.27) in Pilates to -1.18(95% CI: 1.80,-0.57)), total cholesterol (MDs ranged from -0.73(95% CI: -1.29,-0.17) in Pilates to -0.41(95% CI: -0.62,-0.19) in Tai Chi), triglycerides (MDs ranged from -0.56 in Pilates (95% CI: -1.07,-0.04) for Pilates to -0.38 (95% CI: -0.67,-0.10)) for dance; only Tai Chi Chuan (MD:0.12 95% CI:0.04,0.20) and Baduanjin (MD:0.14 95% CI:0.06,0.22) significantly increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in patients; only yoga(MD: 0.78 95%CI: 1.20,-0.37) and Tai Chi Chuan(MD: 0.32 95%CI: 0.60,-0.04) significantly decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in patients. CONCLUSION All mind-body exercises help to improve blood glucose and lipid levels in T2DM patients, but the ranking of relative effectiveness needs to be rationalized. Our study suggests that T2DM patients should choose appropriate mind-body exercises according to their conditions and stick to them for a long time under their healthcare professionals' guidance to achieve effective diabetes control.

Abnormal left ventricular systolic reserve function detected by treadmill exercise stress echocardiography in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1253440. [PMID: 37928757 PMCID: PMC10622805 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1253440] [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: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 10/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Aims Subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction may occur in T2DM patients at the early asymptomatic stage, and LV reserve function is a sensitive index to detect subtle LV dysfunction. The purpose of our study is (1) to assess the LV reserve function using treadmill exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients; (2) to explore the link of serum biological parameters and LV reserve function. Methods This study included 84 patients with asymptomatic T2DM from September 2021 to July 2022 and 41 sex- and age-matched healthy controls during the corresponding period. All subjects completed treadmill ESE, LV systolic function-related parameters such as global longitudinal strain (GLS) and systolic strain rate (SRs), as well as diastolic function-related parameters such as E wave (E), early diastolic velocity (e'), E/e' ratio, early diastolic SR (SRe), and late diastolic SR (SRa) were compared at rest and immediately after exercise. The difference between LV functional parameters after treadmill exercise and its corresponding resting value was used to compute LV reserve function. In addition, the associations of LV reserve function and serum biological parameters were analyzed. Results Patients with T2DM did not significantly vary from the controls in terms of alterations in LV diastolic reserve measures, the changes of LVGLS and SRs (ΔGLS: 2.19 ± 2.72% vs. 4.13 ± 2.79%, P < 0.001 and ΔSRs:0.78 ± 0.33 s-1 vs. 1.02 ± 0.28 s-1, P < 0.001) in the T2DM group were both lower than those in the control group. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), waist circumference, and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were identified as independent predictors of LV systolic reserve by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Conclusion LV systolic reserve function, as measured by pre- and post-exercise differences in GLS and SRs were significantly impaired in patients with asymptomatic T2DM, whereas diastolic reserve remained normal during exercise and was comparable to that of the control group. This was different from previous findings. High levels of HbA1c, NTproBNP, hsCRP, and increasing waist circumference were independent predictors of LV systolic reserve.

Abstract
Background A substantial portion of heart failure (HF) patients adherent to guideline-directed medical therapies have experienced improved ejection fraction (EF), termed HFimpEF. Glycemic variability (GV) has emerged as a critical cardiometabolic factor. However, the relation between long-term GV and the incidence of HFimpEF is still unclear. Methods A total of 591 hospitalized HF patients with reduced EF (HFrEF, EF≤ 40%) admitted from January 2013 to December 2020 were consecutively enrolled. Repeat echocardiograms were performed at baseline and after around 12 months. The incidence of HFimpEF, defined as (1) an absolute EF improvement ≥10% and (2) a second EF > 40% and its association with long-term fasting plasma glucose (FPG) variability were analyzed. Results During a mean follow-up of 12.2 ± 0.6 months, 218 (42.0%) patients developed HFimpEF. Multivariate analysis showed FPG variability was independently associated with the incidence of HFimpEF after adjustment for baseline HbA1c, mean FPG during follow-up and other traditional risk factors (odds ratio [OR] for highest vs. lowest quartile of CV of FPG: 0.487 [95% CI 0.257~0.910]). Evaluation of GV by alternative measures yielded similar results. Subgroup analysis revealed that long-term GV was associated with HFimpEF irrespective of glycemic levels and diabetic conditions. Conclusions This study reveals that greater FPG variability is associated with compromised development of HFimpEF. A more stable control of glycemic levels might provide favorable effects on myocardial functional recovery in HF patients even without diabetes.

Int J Nurs Stud 2023; 145:104532. [PMID: 37315453 PMCID: PMC10760981 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnurstu.2023.104532] [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: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 05/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/17/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND "Low-value" healthcare is care without benefit to patients. Overly intensive glycemic control (i.e., HgbA1C < 7 %) can cause harm to patients at high risk of hypoglycemia, particularly among older adults with co-morbidities. It is unknown whether overly intensive glycemic control differs among patients with diabetes and at high-risk of hypoglycemia cared for by primary care nurse practitioners versus physicians. OBJECTIVE This study examined patients with diabetes at high risk of hypoglycemia receiving primary care between Jan 2010 and Jan 2012, comparing patients reassigned to nurse practitioners to those reassigned to physicians after their previous physician separated from practice in an integrated United States health system. DESIGN This was a retrospective cohort study. Study outcomes were collected at two years after reassignment to a new primary care provider. Outcomes were predicted probabilities of HgbA1C < 7 % using two-stage residual inclusion instrumental variable models, controlling for baseline confounders. SETTING Primary care clinics within the United States Veterans Health Administration. PARTICIPANTS 38,543 patients with diabetes at increased risk for hypoglycemia (age ≥ 65 years with renal disease, dementia, or cognitive impairment), who had their primary care physician leave the Veterans Health Administration and who were reassigned to a new primary care provider in the following year. RESULTS Cohort patients were on average 76 years and 99 % men. Of these, 33,700 were reassigned to physicians and 4843 to nurse practitioners. After two years with their new provider, in adjusted models, patients reassigned to nurse practitioners had a -20.4 percentage-point [95 % CI -37.9 to -2.8] lower probability of two-year HgbA1C < 7 %. CONCLUSIONS Aligned with prior studies on care quality, rates of overly intensive glycemic control may be appropriately lower among older patients with diabetes at high-risk of hypoglycemia, cared for by nurse practitioners than physicians. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Primary care nurse practitioners deliver equivalent or better rates of low-value diabetes care for older patients, compared to physicians.

Abstract
Background Studies suggest a link between prenatal gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) exposure and poor mental health outcomes. We examined associations between prenatal GDM exposure and depressive and anxiety symptoms in children and assessed physical activity as a potential modifier of these associations. Method Seventy children (AgeM(SD): 12(2.0), 56% GDM, 59% female) and their parents completed surveys: Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale for Children (CES-DC), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC), Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), and 3-day physical activity recall (3DPAR). Associations between mental health measures with GDM exposure and interactions between GDM exposure and child moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were assessed using regression. Results GDM-exposed children had higher anxiety (p = 0.03) and internalizing symptoms (CBCL) (p = 0.04) than unexposed children. There was an interaction between GDM exposure and child MVPA on anxiety (p = 0.02), internalizing (p = 0.04) and externalizing symptoms (p = 0.004). In the low MVPA group, GDM exposed children had more depressive (p = 0.03), anxiety (p = 0.003), and internalizing symptoms (p = 0.03) than unexposed children. In the high MVPA group, there were no group differences except with externalizing symptoms (p = 0.04). Conclusion Prenatal GDM is associated with higher anxiety and internalizing symptoms in children. Child MVPA modified the relationship between GDM exposure and mental health outcomes suggesting that physical activity during childhood could mitigate the negative mental health outcomes associated with prenatal GDM exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are prone to developing diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) with an increased risk of injuries while walking, potentially leading to plantar ulcers. We aimed to assess the early gait changes in T2DM patients without clinical signs of DPN in comparison to age-matched healthy controls (HC). SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred T2DM patients (78 women, mean age: 66.4 ± 11.5 years) and 50 age-matched HC (34 women, mean age 62.1 ± 7.9 years) were evaluated with the PODOSmart® gait analysis device. Anthropometric and biochemical data, as well as dietary habits were collected for all participants. T2DM patients also completed the Diabetes Distress (DS) self-report validated questionnaire. RESULTS One patient was excluded from the study due to lack of recent biochemical data. Among the T2DM patients, 88.9% reported little or no DS and 11.1% moderate DS. The T2DM group had higher body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin A1c, sodium, white blood cell count, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, but lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than HC (p < 0.05 for all comparisons). The MedDiet score was satisfactory in both groups (p > 0.05). Significant differences were found between the two study groups in gaitline heel off, propulsion speed, foot progression angle, time taligrade phase, stride length, walking speed, angle attack, oscillation speed, pronation-supination toe off and clearance. CONCLUSIONS The T2DM patients without self-reported DS or clinical signs of DPN may exhibit significant differences in several gait parameters analyzed with PODOSmart®. Whether gait analysis can be used as an early diagnostic tool of T2DM complications should be further explored.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a complicated disease characterized by a complex interplay of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental variables. It is one of the world's fastest-growing diseases, with 783 million adults expected to be affected by 2045. Devastating macrovascular consequences (cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease) and microvascular complications (like retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy) increase mortality, blindness, kidney failure, and overall quality of life in individuals with diabetes. Clinical risk factors and glycemic management alone cannot predict the development of vascular problems; multiple genetic investigations have revealed a clear hereditary component to both diabetes and its related complications. In the twenty-first century, technological advancements (genome-wide association studies, next-generation sequencing, and exome-sequencing) have led to the identification of genetic variants associated with diabetes, however, these variants can only explain a small proportion of the total heritability of the condition. In this review, we address some of the likely explanations for this "missing heritability", for diabetes such as the significance of uncommon variants, gene-environment interactions, and epigenetics. Current discoveries clinical value, management of diabetes, and future research directions are also discussed.

[PMID: 37215877 PMCID: PMC10195895 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e15967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This study evaluated the association between renal function, assessed by serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according to the Cockcroft-Gault (CG) and Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equations, and bone mineral density (BMD) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods 1322 patients with T2DM were included, and their basic clinical information, serum biochemical tests, and BMD at the total hip and femur neck were collected. Multivariate adjusted linear regression, smooth curve fitting and a piecewise linear regression model were used to analyze linear and nonlinear associations. Age, BMI, drinking, smoking, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, FBG, HbA1C, course of diabetes, hsCRP, TC, TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, Ca, P, PTH, ALP, OC, P1NP, β-CTX and 25(OH)D were adjusted. Results After adjusting the variables, no correlation between eGFR CG and eGFR MDRD and femur neck BMD was observed in women, men, or the total population. The eGFR CG and eGFR MDRD had a significant positive association with total hip BMD in men and the total population with T2DM. With a 10-unit decrease in eGFR CG, total hip BMD reduced by 0.012 g/cm2 in men and 0.010 g/cm2 the total population. Total hip BMD reduced by 0.014 g/cm2 in men and 0.022 g/cm2 in the total population with a 10-unit decrease in eGFR MDRD. There was no correlation between eGFR CG or eGFR MDRD and total hip BMD in female participants. Conclusion Impaired renal function was associated with decreased total hip BMD in men and the total population with T2DM. No associated between renal function with femur neck BMD was observed.

Abstract
Background Clinical guidelines and expert committees have recently suggested that the hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) should be individualized based on various criteria. Data regarding the achievement of individualized glycemic targets in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients is scant in Iran. We intended to provide information found on real-world outcomes from the perspective of an individualized recommendation. Methods A cross-sectional analysis was conducted in 15 diabetes centers in Iran between 2013-2017. Two steps cluster sampling selection was used to recruit 1591 patients with T2DM. Considering Ismail-Beigi's individualized strategy, the study population was categorized into five treatment intensities of HbA1c: most intensive (≤6.5%), intensive (6.5-7.0%), less intensive (~7.0%), not intensive (7.0-8.0%), and moderated (~8.0%). The percentage of patients who met their group individualized glycemic targets was estimated as the degree of achievement of each treatment intensity. Results The cumulative incidence rate of early microvascular, advanced microvascular, and macrovascular complications was 53%, 25%, and 34%, respectively. Besides, [78% 77.6-79%] of patients did not achieve individualized glycemic targets. Conclusion The outcome showed poor individualized glycemic control and a high incidence of diabetes complications. Considering individualized HbA1c targets for Iranian patients with T2DM is an urgent need.

[PMID: 36632855 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2022] [Revised: 12/24/2022] [Accepted: 01/01/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Natural herbs are gradually gaining recognition for their efficacy and safety in preventing diabetes and improving quality of life. Morus alba L. is a plant widely grown in Asia and is a traditional Chinese herb with a long history of use. Furthermore, several parts of Morus alba L. have been found to have significant health benefits. In particular, mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves (ML) have been shown in human and animal studies to be promising hypoglycemic agents that can reduce or prevent glucolipid metabolism disorders caused by imbalances in the gut microbiota, inflammation, and oxidative stress and have demonstrated significant improvements in glucose metabolism-related markers, effectively lowering blood glucose, and reducing hyperglycemia-induced target organ damage. AIM OF THE STUDY This review briefly summarizes the methods for obtaining ML's bioactive components, elaborates on the clinical potential of the relevant components in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and focuses on the therapeutic mechanisms of gut microbiota, inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolism, to provide more inspiration and directions for future research in the field of traditional natural plants for the management of T2DM and its complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Research on ML and its bioactive components was mainly performed using electronic databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceNet, to ensure the review's quality. In addition, master's and doctoral theses and ancient documents were consulted. RESULTS In clinical studies, we found that ML could effectively reduce blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance in T2DM patients. Furthermore, many in vitro and in vivo experiments have found that ML is involved in various pathways that regulate glucolipid metabolism and resist diabetes while alleviating liver and kidney damage. CONCLUSIONS As a potential natural anti-diabetic phytomedicine, an in-depth study of ML can provide new ideas and valuable references for applying traditional Chinese medicine to treat T2DM. While continuously exploring its clinical efficacy and therapeutic mechanism, the extraction method should be optimized to improve the efficacy of the bioactive components. in addition, further research on the dose-response relationship of drugs to determine the effective dose range is required.

Abstract
The effect of an increasing diabetes population has resulted in escalated costs and overburdened physicians. The increase in cost is not due to the disease per se, but because of its largely preventable complications. Patient-friendly technologies are proven to significantly reduce complications and thereby cost, but seldom practised. Telemedicine is increasingly being utilized in diabetology to improve access to health care, quality of care, and clinical/psychosocial outcomes in patients with diabetes (PWD). In PWD, patient-physician interactions are essential for improving health outcomes and preventing long-term complications. Smartphones are one of the basic modalities for telemedicine application. Mobile phone messaging applications, including text messaging and multimedia message service, could offer a convenient and cost-effective way to support desirable health behaviors. There are diabetes-related mobile apps mainly focusing on self-management of diabetes, lifestyle modification, and medication adherence motivation. With the widespread availability of high-speed Internet, remote monitoring has also become popular. Home monitoring of blood glucose and blood pressure, wearable devices, and continuous glucose monitoring also play a vital role in bringing down the long‑term vascular complications of diabetes and thereby reduce the overall cost and improve the quality of life of patients. There are hundreds of tech platforms for diabetes management, of which only a few with proven efficacy and safety are recommended by physicians.

Abstract
Oral GSH supplementation along with antidiabetic treatment was shown to restore the body stores of GSH significantly and reduce oxidative DNA damage (8-OHdG) in Indian Type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients over 6 months in our recent clinical study. Post hoc analysis of the data also suggested that elder patients benefit from improved HbA1c and fasting insulin. We modeled longitudinal changes in diabetic individuals using a linear mixed-effects (LME) framework and obtained i) the distribution of individual trajectories with and without GSH supplementation and ii) the overall rates of changes in the different study arms. Serial changes in elder and younger diabetic individuals were also modeled independently to examine differences in their progression. The average linear trajectories obtained from the model explain how biochemical parameters in T2D patients progress over 6 months on GSH supplementation. Model estimates show improvements in erythrocytic GSH of 108 µM per month and a reduction in 8-OHdG at a rate of 18.5 ng/μg DNA per month in T2D patients. GSH replenishes faster in younger people than in the elder. 8-OHdG reduced more rapidly in the elder (24 ng/μg DNA per month) than in younger (12 ng/μg DNA per month) individuals. Interestingly, elder individuals show a substantial reduction in HbA1c (0.1% per month) and increased fasting insulin (0.6 µU/mL per month). Changes in GSH correlate strongly with changes in HbA1c, 8-OHdG, and fasting insulin in the elder cohort. The model estimates strongly suggest it improves the rate of replenishment in erythrocytic GSH stores and reduces oxidative DNA damage. Elder and younger T2D patients respond differently to GSH supplementation: It improves the rate of reduction in HbA1c and increases fasting insulin in elder patients. These model forecasts have clinical implications that aid in personalizing treatment targets for using oral GSH as adjuvant therapy in diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a risk factor for cognitive impairment, and disease duration is associated with geriatric decline and functional disabilities. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the association of diabetes duration with domain-specific cognitive impairment in elderly. METHODS A total of 3,142 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from the period between 2011 and 2014 were included. We assessed cognitive function using the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), the CERAD Word Learning (CERAD-WL) test, the CERAD Delayed Recall (CERAD-DR) test and animal fluency (AF) test. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education level, and annual household income, we found that diabetes with a duration longer than 20 years were at 3.32-fold increased risk of DSST impairment (OR = 3.32, 95% CI: 1.95 to 5.67), 1.72-fold increased risk of CERAD-WL impairment (OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.13 to 2.62), and 1.76-fold increased risk of AF impairment (OR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.23 to 2.53), compared with those with no diabetes. Associations were generally stronger in women than in men. Participants with diabetes, who were diagnosed at 50-59 years old were at increased risk of DSST impairment, CERAD-WL impairment, CERAD-DR impairment, and AF impairment per 5 years longer duration of diabetes. CONCLUSION Longer diabetes duration was associated with the increased risk of cognitive impairment, especially in processing speed and attention. The presence of chronic kidney disease was associated with the increased risk of DSST impairment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data regarding the performance of computational fractional flow reserve in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) remain scarce. This study sought to explore the impact of DM on quantitative flow ratio (QFR) and its association with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived anatomical references.Methods and Results: IVUS and QFR were retrospectively analyzed in 237 non-diabetic and 93 diabetic patients with 250 and 102 intermediate lesions, respectively. Diabetics were further categorized based on adequate (HbA1c <7.0%: 47 patients with 53 lesions) or poor (HbA1c ≥7.0%: 46 patients with 49 lesions) glycemic control. Lesions with QFR ≤0.8 or minimum lumen area (MLA) ≤4.0 mm2and plaque burden (PB, %) ≥70 were considered functionally or anatomically significant, respectively. PB increased, and MLA decreased stepwise across non-diabetics, diabetics with adequate glycemic control and those with poor glycemic control. In contrast, QFR was similar among the 3 groups. PB correlated significantly with the QFR for lesions in non-diabetics, but not for lesions in diabetics. DM was independently correlated with the functionally non-significant lesions (QFR >0.8) with high-risk IVUS features (MLA ≤4.0 mm2and PB ≥70; OR 2.053, 95% CI: 1.137-3.707, P=0.017). When considering the effect of glycemic control, HbA1c was an independent predictor of anatomical-functional discordance (OR 1.347, 95% CI: 1.089-1.667, P=0.006). CONCLUSIONS Anatomical-functional discordance of intermediate coronary lesions assessed by IVUS and QFR is exacerbated in patients with diabetes, especially when glycemia is poorly controlled.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cutaneous lipohypertrophy (LH) is a thickened, "rubbery" lesion in the subcutaneous tissue following multiple injections performed at the same site, i.e., an incorrect injection technique. It is widespread, averaging 47% of insulin patients worldwide, and has severe direct and indirect consequences. Direct consequences consist mainly of poor metabolic control and frequent hypoglycemic events (HYPOs), and indirect ones of markedly increased healthcare costs related to hospital access due to acute events and long-term disease complications. This observation also holds for Italy, despite the National Health System organization expecting every patient with diabetes to undergo a series of visits by different care team members, each performing a specific treatment/education task. Indeed, the recent literature points to poor awareness of LH relevance and metabolic consequences among doctors from general and diabetic hospital wards, with educational deficiencies on correct injection practice in nurses too. The aim was to establish if, to what extent, and by whom they had received training on correct insulin injection techniques, and how many initially received notions had persisted over time. METHODS We investigated the possible causes of such a failure from the point of view of 1160 insulin-requiring subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), reporting for the first time to specialized diabetic structures through a validated questionnaire and, in the same patients, we searched for LH by inspection/palpation according to international guidelines, further confirmed by ultrasound scans. We then analyzed differences in education and injecting behavior between subjects classified as LH+ or LH- depending on the presence or absence of LH lesions. RESULTS We documented significant educational gaps, with 50% of patients failing to refer to healthcare professionals and relying on their peers with diabetes, thought to be more experienced in 15% of the cases. Seventy-five percent of LH- patients received education from healthcare providers, while 90% of LH+ learned from another patient or could not remember how they knew, and 68% of LH+ versus 52% of LH- (p < 0.01) patients had failed to receive training on injection techniques by healthcare providers. All of this enabled the most disabling features of diabetes from the very beginning of the disease history. CONCLUSIONS This study documents, from the patients' point of view, that educational gaps are significant and that, even in initially trained subjects, education on correct injection techniques has a fleeting effect if not regularly recalled. Therefore, to rehabilitate LH+ patients as soon as possible and prevent LH- patients from inadvertently slipping into the other group, there is an urgent need to educate doctors and nurses repeatedly on the importance of correctly injecting insulin to improve patients' knowledge and skills.

Abstract
PURPOSE Poor self-care behavior and depression are associated with worse glycemic control, but the relationship between these variables is poorly reported. The present study aimed to describe self-care behaviors and explore the association between depression, self-care and glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes in an Arab population. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study recruited 446 patients with type-2 diabetes from an outpatient clinic in Kuwait and completed assessments of diabetes self-care using the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire and depression using the Patients Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) scales. Multiple linear regression models were used to determine the associations between depression, self-care behaviors and glycemic control. RESULTS Self-care behaviors were highest for medication taking (92.9%), an average for foot care (61.4%), blood glucose testing (60%) and healthy diet (55.7%), and lowest for exercise (27.1%). Depression, poor self-care activities and poor HbA1c levels were inter-correlated in univariate analysis (p< 0.03). In regression analysis, following healthful eating (B= -0.27, p< 0.001), general eating plan (B= -0.21, p= 0.01), more space carbohydrates evenly throughout the day (B= - 0.17, p= 0.03) and exercise at least 30 minutes (B= -0.17, p= 0.02) behaviors were associated with better HbA1c levels. However, depression was associated with poor scores of following a general eating plan (B= -0.20, p= 0.03), space carbohydrates evenly throughout the day (B= -0.21, p= 0.05), and exercising at least 30 minutes (B= -0.24, p= 0.03) behaviors. Depression scores were also associated with poor HbA1c levels (B= 0.32, p= 0.03). However, this association no longer persists after mutual adjustment with following a healthy diet (B= 0.14, p= 0.38) and exercise (B = 0.26, p = 0.08) behaviors. CONCLUSION Self-care activity was less than fifty percent in people with type 2 diabetes and higher activity was associated with better glycemic control. However, depression adversely affects self-care behaviors. To maintain and achieve glycemic control, diabetes educators might motivate people with type 2 diabetes to enhance their self-care activities, particularly those with depression symptoms and poor compliance with self-care activities.

Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been increasing worldwide. As the therapeutic options for type 2 diabetes mellitus have evolved over the last 2 decades, national and global guidelines related to type 2 diabetes mellitus pharmacotherapy issued by various organizations have tended to vary in their recommendations. This narrative review aimed to analyze the key recommendations by major global and national guidelines on the initiation of insulin therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus over the last 20 years. Strategies for insulin therapy for titration and intensification were also assessed. All guidelines recommend initiation of insulin (basal/ premixed/other formulations) when glycemic targets are not achieved despite lifestyle measures and oral antidiabetic drugs. In the recent decade, early initiation of insulin has been recommended when the glycated hemoglobin levels are >10% or blood glucose levels are ≥300 mg/dL (16.7 mmol/L). Initiation is recommended at a dose of 10 units or 0.1-0.2 U/kg. Titration is advised to achieve the optimal dosage, while intensification is recommended when glycemic targets are not achieved despite titrating to an acceptable level. Glucose monitoring at periodic intervals is recommended for adequate glycemic control. The guidelines further suggest that the choice of insulin should be individualized, considering the clinical status of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The physicians as well as patients should be a part of the decisions made regarding the therapeutic choice of regimen, preparation, and delivery device.

Comparing the accuracy of point-of-care with laboratory (capillary, venous, and arterial) blood glucose levels in critically ill patients with and without shock. BMC Res Notes 2022; 15:372. [PMID: 36528779 PMCID: PMC9758800 DOI: 10.1186/s13104-022-06256-0] [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: 07/15/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the accuracy of point-of-care capillary and venous/arterial samples to laboratory testing of venous/arterial samples in critically sick shocked and non-shocked patients. This is a prospective case-control study including capillary, venous, and arterial blood samples from 268 critically ill patients. The King Fahd Military Medical Complex in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, was the site of this investigation. RESULTS We were able to obtain data on 268 patients for this investigation. POCT and lab findings of venous and central blood did not differ significantly (P = 0.389 and 0.208), while POCT indicated somewhat higher results with venous glucose concentrations of 10.18 and 10.05 (POCT and lab tests respectively) and 9.18 and 9.54 (POCT and lab tests respectively). In addition, the mean differences between POC and laboratory analyses of venous, arterial, and central glucose were 0.13, - 1.75, and - 0.36 mmol/L for venous, arterial, and central glucose, respectively. Except for arterial blood glucose, we did not observe a significant difference between POCT and routine laboratory analysis of glucose concentrations in critically ill patients. Compared to laboratory blood analysis, the use of POCT is marginally accurate, with no difference between shocked and non-shocked patients.

Abstract
Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of metformin, glyburide, and insulin for GDM, we conducted a subgroup analysis of outcomes for women with GDM according to the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG) diagnostic criteria. Methods We searched the NCBI, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to March 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the outcomes of hypoglycemic agents in women with GDM were included. Bayesian network analysis was employed. Results A total of 29 RCTs were included. Metformin was estimated to lead to a slight improvement in total gestational weight gain (WMD - 1.24 kg, 95% CI -2.38, -0.09), a risk of unmet treatment target in the sensitivity analysis (OR 34.50, 95% CI 1.18-791.37) than insulin. The estimated effect of metformin showed improvements in birth weight than insulin (WMD - 102.58 g, 95% CI -180.45 to -25.49) and glyburide (WMD - 137.84 g, 95% CI -255.31 to -25.45), for hypoglycemia within 1 h of birth than insulin (OR 0.65, 95% CI 0.47 to 0.84). The improvement in the estimated effect of metformin for hypoglycemia within 1 h of birth still existed when compared with glyburide (OR 0.41, 95% CI 0.26 to 0.66), whether in the IADPSG group (OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.92) or not (OR 0.43, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.98). Conclusion Metformin is beneficial for GDM women to control total GWG compared with insulin, regulate fetal birth weight more than insulin and glyburide, and increase the risk of unmet treatment targets compared with insulin. Compared to metformin, glyburide is associated with neonatal hypoglycemia.

Quality of Care for US Adults With Medicaid Insurance and Type 2 Diabetes in Federally Qualified Health Centers Compared With Other Primary Care Settings. Med Care 2022; 60:813-820.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate indicators of diabetes quality of care for US nonelderly, adult Medicaid enrollees with type 2 diabetes and compare federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) versus non-FQHCs. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We analyzed diabetes process measures and acute health services utilization with 2012 US fee-for-service and managed care Medicaid claims in all 50 states and DC. We compared FQHC (N=121,977) to non-FQHC patients (N=700,401) using propensity scores to balance covariates and generalized estimating equation models. RESULTS Overall, laboratory-based process measures occurred more frequently (range, 65.7%-76.6%) than measures requiring specialty referrals (retinal examinations, 33.3%; diabetes education, 3.4%). Compared with non-FQHC patients, FQHC patients had about 3 percentage point lower rates of each process measure, except for higher rates of diabetes education [relative risk=1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03-1.16]. FQHC patients had fewer overall [incident rate ratio (IRR)=0.87, 95% CI: 0.86-0.88] and diabetes-related hospitalizations (IRR=0.79, 95% CI: 0.77-0.81), but more overall (IRR=1.06, 95% CI: 1.05-1.07) and diabetes-related emergency department visits (IRR=1.10, 95% CI: 1.08-1.13). CONCLUSIONS This national analysis identified opportunities to improve diabetes management among Medicaid enrollees with type 2 diabetes, especially for retinal examinations or diabetes education. Overall, we found slightly lower rates of most diabetes care process measures for FQHC patients versus non-FQHC patients. Despite having higher rates of emergency department visits, FQHC patients were significantly less likely to be hospitalized than non-FQHC patients. These findings emphasize the need to identify innovative, effective approaches to improve diabetes care for Medicaid enrollees, especially in FQHC settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The efficacy and safety of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in adjusting inpatient insulin therapy have not been evaluated. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This randomized trial included 185 general medicine and surgery patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes treated with a basal-bolus insulin regimen. All subjects underwent point-of-care (POC) capillary glucose testing before meals and bedtime. Patients in the standard of care (POC group) wore a blinded Dexcom G6 CGM with insulin dose adjusted based on POC results, while in the CGM group, insulin adjustment was based on daily CGM profile. Primary end points were differences in time in range (TIR; 70-180 mg/dL) and hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL and <54 mg/dL). RESULTS There were no significant differences in TIR (54.51% ± 27.72 vs. 48.64% ± 24.25; P = 0.14), mean daily glucose (183.2 ± 40 vs. 186.8 ± 39 mg/dL; P = 0.36), or percent of patients with CGM values <70 mg/dL (36% vs. 39%; P = 0.68) or <54 mg/dL (14 vs. 24%; P = 0.12) between the CGM-guided and POC groups. Among patients with one or more hypoglycemic events, compared with POC, the CGM group experienced a significant reduction in hypoglycemia reoccurrence (1.80 ± 1.54 vs. 2.94 ± 2.76 events/patient; P = 0.03), lower percentage of time below range <70 mg/dL (1.89% ± 3.27 vs. 5.47% ± 8.49; P = 0.02), and lower incidence rate ratio <70 mg/dL (0.53 [95% CI 0.31-0.92]) and <54 mg/dL (0.37 [95% CI 0.17-0.83]). CONCLUSIONS The inpatient use of real-time Dexcom G6 CGM is safe and effective in guiding insulin therapy, resulting in a similar improvement in glycemic control and a significant reduction of recurrent hypoglycemic events compared with POC-guided insulin adjustment.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to analyse the evolution of the metabolic control, cardiovascular risk factors and chronic complications in a Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) population in a healthcare area of Barcelona. METHODS We carried out a comparative study of T2D patients (20.457) between 2012 and 2016 (data recorded in the "Electronic Clinical-Station in Primary Care") concerning: age, gender, body mass index (BMI), arterial blood pressure (BP), HbA1c, LDL-Cholesterol, smoking, heart failure (HF), micro and macrovascular complications. RESULTS Average HbA1c was 6.9 % in 2012 and 7 % in 2016 (Non significant differences)(NS). In 2012, 57.9 % of patients presented proper glycaemic control, 42.8 % LDL-Cholesterol < 100 mg/dL and 76.9 % BP < 140/90 while in 2016 it was 61.2 % (NS), 59.2 % (p = 0.001) and 82.9 % (p = 0.016) respectively. No changes were found in BMI or active smoking. Significant increases were found in the prevalence of microvascular complications, HF and peripheral vasculopathy (PV). Patients with vascular diseases (PVD) and adequate metabolic control increased from 57.5 % to 62.7 % (p = 0.006). Albuminuria > 30 mg/g were more frequent among PVD. CONCLUSIONS Between 2012 and 2016 it was observed that, amongst our study population, glycaemic control was steady and cholesterol and BP levels were improved, while there was a significant increase of diabetic complications, HF and PV.

Abstract
Aims To investigate the quality of care and prescription patterns of patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) receiving primary care at local clinics in Taiwan. Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted in 43 primary care clinics in Taiwan. The patients' baseline characteristics, laboratory tests, presence of complications and antidiabetic agents prescribed were analyzed. Results 7,200 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled. Percentage of HbA1c, blood pressure (BP), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) goals reached were 52.5% in HbA1c < 7%, 40.9% in BP < 130/80 mmHg and 79.7% in LDL-C < 2.59 mmol/L. 18.3% achieved all three ABC goals. However, patients with DKD had a lower rate of ABC goal attainment and higher rate of complications. Among DKD patients with eGFR ≥ 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 and on monotherapy, metformin was most frequently prescribed. As for dual therapy, the most common combinations were metformin with sulfonylurea and metformin with DPP-4 inhibitors. Conclusions Diabetes patients in Taiwan receiving primary diabetes care at local clinics had generally satisfactory management performance. However, more aggressive HbA1c, BP, and LDL-C management among DKD patients should be emphasized. Contrary to current recommendations, SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists as frontline therapy were under-prescribed.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small anuclear vesicles, delimited by a lipid bilayer, released by almost all cell types, carrying functionally active biological molecules that can be transferred to the neighbouring or distant cells, inducing phenotypical and functional changes, relevant in various physio-pathological conditions. The microRNAs are the most significant active components transported by EVs, with crucial role in intercellular communication and significant effects on recipient cells. They may also server as novel valuable biomarkers for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders. Moreover, EVs are supposed to mediate type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk and its progress. The T2DM development is preceded by prediabetes, a state that is associated with early forms of nephropathy and neuropathy, chronic kidney disease, diabetic retinopathy, and increased risk of macrovascular disease. Although the interest of scientists was focused not only on the pathogenesis of diabetes, but also on the early diagnosis, little is known about EVs-incorporated microRNA involvement in prediabetes state and its microvascular and macrovascular complications. Here, we survey the biogenesis, classification, content, biological functions and the most popular primary isolation methods of EVs, review the EVs-associated microRNA profiling connexion with early stages of diabetes and discuss the role of EVs containing specific microRNAs in prediabetes complications.

RESEARCH QUARTERLY FOR EXERCISE AND SPORT 2022; 93:291-300. [PMID: 33064065 DOI: 10.1080/02701367.2020.1828562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Accepted: 06/21/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Purpose: To report pilot test findings on whether in-task affect during a supervised exercise program, where participants were randomized to either moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), predicts changes in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA-Total and MVPA10+ in bouts of ≥ 10 min) at 1- and 6-month post-intervention. Method: This experimental study design randomized 32 inactive adults with prediabetes to complete a 2-week supervised MICT or HIIT plus behavioral counseling exercise intervention and objectively assessed free-living physical activity post-intervention. The Feeling Scale (FS) was used to assess the in-task effect. FS was measured in the middle of four, 1-min intervals in the HIIT condition, corresponding to ~20%, ~50%, ~75%, and ~85% of work out time. For the MICT condition, FS was assessed at similar exercise duration percentage times as HIIT. Accelerometer data evaluated MVPA at 1- and 6-month post-intervention. Results: 32 adults were included in the analyses. Pilot findings indicated in-task affect between the conditions did not predict changes in MVPA-Total from baseline to 1 and 6 months. For MVPA10+, in-task affect negatively predicted MVPA10+ over time in the MICT condition only. Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence that affect during MICT negatively predicts MVPA10+ over time, and that there is no difference of in-task affect's utility in predicting MVPA-Total between HIIT and MICT. Larger studies are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Background Among several potential mechanisms, mitochondrial dysfunction has been proposed to be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). A mitochondrial complex I deficiency severely impairs cardiovascular health and contributes to CAD development. Previous evidence highlighted a key role of NDUFC2, a subunit of complex I, deficiency in the increased occurrence of renal and cerebrovascular damage in an animal model of hypertension, and of juvenile ischemic stroke occurrence in humans. Furthermore, a significant decrease of NDUFC2 mRNA was detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients experiencing acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The T allele at NDUFC2/rs23117379 variant is known to associate with reduced gene expression and mitochondrial dysfunction. Objective In the present study we tested the impact of the T/C NDUFC2/rs23117379 variant on occurrence of ACS in a prospective cohort of CAD patients (n = 260). Results Hypertension, smoking habit, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia were present in a large proportion of patients. Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) represented the most frequent type of ACS (44%, n = 115), followed by ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (34%, n = 88) and unstable angina (22%, n = 57). The alleles/genotypes distribution for T/C at NDUFC2/rs23117379 revealed that the TT genotype was associated with a trend toward the development of ACS at an earlier age (TT 61 ± 12, CT 65 ± 12 and CC 66 ± 11 years; p = 0.051 after adjustment for gender, hypertension, smoking habit, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia) and with a significant predictive role for ACS recurrence (hazard ratio [HR]1.671; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.138–2.472; p = 0.009). Conclusions Our findings are consistent with a deleterious effect of NDUFC2 deficiency on acute coronary events predisposition and further support a role of the NDUFC2/rs23117379 variant as a genetic cardiovascular risk factor.

Abstract
Background Non-healing skin wounds are a common complication in diabetic patients. Vector biomaterials embedded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered a promising treatment approach. In this study, we presented a novel and effective approach to accelerate diabetic skin wound healing. Methods and Materials Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) were shaped into spheres. RADA16-I, KLT, and RGD nanopeptides were selected for self-assembly into hydrogels. hUC-MSCs spheroids (hUC-MSCsp) were combined in vitro with self-assembled nanopeptide hydrogels and subsequently transplanted into a mouse model of diabetic skin trauma. Results Compared with the PBS, hUC-MSCs, hUC-MSCsp, and hUC-MSCs with hydrogel groups, hUC-MSCsp with hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing (p<0.01) and shortened the healing time (10 vs 14 vs 21 days). The expressions of IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β, and TNF-α were significantly decreased (p<0.001). The expression of VEGF was significantly higher in the hUC-MSCsp with hydrogel group (p<0.05), and the density of neovascularization in the fresh skin tissue at the wound was also remarkably increased (p<0.01). Conclusion Nanopeptide hydrogels loaded with hUC-MSCsp accelerated diabetic skin wound healing by inhibiting inflammation and promoting angiogenesis compared with conventional stem cell transplantation, which deserves further investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden is increasing among persons living with HIV (PLWH) in sub-Saharan Africa. It is unclear whether this reflects absolute increase in HIV-related CVD risk or unmasking by improved survival. Therefore, we examined whether HIV is associated with adverse cardiometabolic profiles among South African adults. METHODS We analyzed a nationally representative dataset (n=6420), estimating the weighted prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and 10-year predicted risk of incident fatal/nonfatal CVD (if aged ≥40 years). Associations between HIV and cardiometabolic indices were assessed using log-binomial regression models adjusted for sociodemographic factors. RESULTS HIV population prevalence was 18.9%, with a median age of 36 years. Hypertension (44.2% vs 45.4%), diabetes (18.6% vs 20.4%), and overweight/obesity (body mass index ≥25 kg/m2: 54.9% vs 52.0%) prevalence did not substantially differ by HIV status, although PLWH had a lower 10-year predicted CVD risk (median: 5.1% vs 13.5%). In adjusted models, females who are HIV-negative had a 5 mm Hg higher median systolic blood pressure (128 vs 123 mmHg) than female PLWH. CONCLUSIONS PLWH in South Africa have better cardiometabolic disease profiles than the general population, and social determinants, rather than HIV, may have a greater influence on cardiometabolic risk. Designating PLWH a CVD high-risk group in South Africa is likely unwarranted.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by increased levels of blood glucose but is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous disease, especially its multiple discrete cardiovascular phenotypes. Genetic variations play key roles in the heterogeneity of diabetic cardiovascular phenotypes. This study investigates possible associations of ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) variants with cardiovascular phenotypes among the Chinese patients with T2D. Six hundred thirty-six patients with T2D and 634 non-diabetic individuals were analyzed in the study. Nine KATP variants were determined by MassARRAY. The KATP rs2285676 (AA + GA, OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.13–1.81, P = 0.003), rs1799858 (CC, OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.12–1.78, P = 0.004), and rs141294036 (CC, OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.15–1.83, P = 0.002) are associated with increased T2D risk. A follow-up of at least 45.8-months (median) indicates further association between the 3 variants and risks of diabetic-related cardiovascular conditions. The associations are categorized as follows: new-onset/recurrent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (rs2285676/AA + GA, HR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.10–1.70, P = 0.005; rs141294036/TT + CT, HR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.28–1.99, P < 0.001), new-onset stroke (rs1799858/CC, HR = 2.58, 95% CI: 1.22–5.43, P = 0.013; rs141294036/CC, HR = 2.30, 95% CI: 1.16–4.55, P = 0.017), new-onset of heart failure (HF) (rs1799858/TT + CT, HR = 2.78, 95% CI: 2.07–3.74, P < 0.001; rs141294036/TT + CT, HR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.07–1.96, P = 0.015), and new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) (rs1799858/TT + CT, HR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.25–3.37, P = 0.004; rs141294036/CC, HR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.40–3.82, P = 0.001). In particular, the CC genotype of rs1799858 (OR = 2.38, 95% CI: 1.11–5.10, P = 0.025) and rs141294036 (OR = 1.95, 95% CI: 1.04–3.66, P = 0.037) are only associated with the risk of ischemic stroke while its counterpart genotype (TT + CT) is associated with the risks of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) (rs1799858, OR = 3.46, 95% CI: 2.31–5.18, P < 0.001) and HF with mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) (rs141294036, OR = 2.74, 95% CI: 1.05–7.15, P = 0.039). Furthermore, the 3 variants are associated with increased risks of abnormal serum levels of triglyceride (TIRG) (≥ 1.70 mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (≥ 1.40 mmol/L), apolipoprotein B (ApoB) (≥ 80 mg/dL), apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) level (< 120 mg/dL), lipoprotein(a) Lp(a) (≥ 300 mg/dL) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HsCRP) (≥ 3.0 mg/L) but exhibited heterogeneity (all P < 0.05). The KATP rs2285676, rs1799858, and rs141294036 are associated with increased risks of T2D and its related cardiovascular phenotypes (ACS, stroke, HF, and AF), but show heterogeneity. The 3 KATP variants may be promising markers for diabetic cardiovascular events favoring “genotype-phenotype” oriented prevention and treatment strategies.

BIOLOGY 2022; 11:biology11020288. [PMID: 35205155 PMCID: PMC8869592 DOI: 10.3390/biology11020288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 02/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Simple Summary The presented manuscript contains the most current and extensive summary of the role of the most predominant gastrointestinal hormones—GIP and GLP-1 in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease both in animals and humans. We have described GIP and GLP-1 as (1) expressed in many human tissues, (2) emphasized relationship between GIP and GLP-1 and inflammation, (3) highlighted importance of GIP and GLP-1-dependent pathways in atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease and (4) proved that GIP and GLP-1 could be used as markers of incidence, clinical course and recurrence of coronary artery disease, and related to extent and severity of atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemia. Our initial review may state a cornerstone for the future, however, there are still many unknowns and understatements on this topic. Due to the widespread growing interest for the potential use of incretins in cardiovascular diseases, we think that further research in this direction is desirable. For the future, we would like to recognize GIP and GLP-1 as widely implemented into clinical practice as new biomarkers of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Abstract Coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the manifestation of atherosclerosis in coronary arteries, is the most common single cause of death and is responsible for disabilities of millions of people worldwide. Despite numerous dedicated clinical studies and an enormous effort to develop diagnostic and therapeutic methods, coronary atherosclerosis remains one of the most serious medical problems of the modern world. Hence, new markers are still being sought to identify and manage CAD optimally. Trying to face this problem, we have raised the question of the most predominant gastrointestinal hormones; glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), mainly involved in carbohydrates disorders, could be also used as new markers of incidence, clinical course, and recurrence of CAD and are related to extent and severity of atherosclerosis and myocardial ischemia. We describe GIP and GLP-1 as expressed in many animal and human tissues, known to be connected to inflammation and related to enormous noncardiac and cardiovascular (CV) diseases. In animals, GIP and GLP-1 improve endothelial function and lead to reduced atherosclerotic plaque macrophage infiltration and stabilize atherosclerotic lesions by directly blocking monocyte migration. Moreover, in humans, GIPR activation induces the pro-atherosclerotic factors ET-1 (endothelin-1) and OPN (osteopontin) but also has anti-atherosclerotic effects through secretion of NO (nitric oxide). Furthermore, four large clinical trials showed a significant reduction in composite of CV death, MI, and stroke in long-term follow-up using GLP-1 analogs for DM 2 patients: liraglutide in LEADER, semaglutide in SUSTAIN-6, dulaglutide in REWIND and albiglutide in HARMONY. However, very little is known about GIP metabolism in the acute phase of myocardial ischemia or for stable patients with CAD, which constitutes a direction for future research. This review aims to comprehensively discuss the impact of GIP and GLP-1 on atherosclerosis and CAD and its potential therapeutic implications.

Abstract
ObjectiveThis study assessed temporal relationships of serum uric acid (SUA) with blood glucose and determine the mediating effects of body mass index (BMI) and dyslipidemia on the relation of SUA and risk of type 2 diabetes.MethodsParticipants aged ≥ 45 years were participated in 2011 and followed up until 2015. Cox proportional hazards regression with a robust variance estimator was performed to explore the association of SUA with the risk of diabetes, and crosslagged path analysis was introduced to examine the temporal relationships between SUA and blood glucose. A mediation analysis was finally used to identify the mediating effect of BMI and dyslipidemia on the relation of SUA and the future risk of diabetes.ResultsA total of 9,020 participants were included with an average age of 58.59 years at baseline in 2011, and 53.6% of them were women. Linear dose–response relationship was identified by restricted spline cubic analysis between baseline SUA and follow-up blood glucose (the non-linear trend for fasting plasma glucose (FPG): β2 = −0.71, p = 0.52; for HbA1c: β2 = 0.05, p = 0.07; for risk of diabetes: β2 = 0.12, p = 0.39). Additionally, compared with the lowest quartiles of SUA, the adjusted risk ratios of diabetes were 1.00 (95% CI: 0.82–1.23), 1.08 (95% CI: 0.89–1.31), and 1.37 (95% CI: 1.11–1.96) for quartile 2–4 (p-trend < 0.01), respectively. Further additional adjustments for BMI or dyslipidemia, these ratios were not statistically significant. In addition, a unidirectional relationship from baseline SUA to follow-up FPG (ρ1 = 0.24, p = 0.03) was further confirmed using crosslagged path analysis. After stratifying by genders, the above results were only significant in the women subgroup, and we thus conducted a mediation analysis in women and found that the BMI and dyslipidemia partially mediated the effect of SUA on diabetes with a 23.05 and 18.82% mediating effect, respectively.ConclusionsThese findings provide strong evidence that hyperuricemia preceded diabetes, and the effect of baseline SUA on follow-up type 2 diabetes was more pronounced among middle-aged and elderly Chinese women, especially in postmenopausal women, and this effect is partly mediated by BMI and dyslipidemia at baseline.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to quantify left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain and torsion in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and evaluate their systolic and diastolic function using conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography. Methods: Forty-seven patients with T2DM were divided into a group without microvascular complications (the DM A group) and a group with microvascular complications (the DM B group), while another 27 healthy participants acted as the control group. All the participants had had an echocardiography examination. All the original data were imported into EchoPAC workstation for the analysis and quantification of LV strain and torsion. Results: Compared with the control group, the LV end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, and ejection fraction of the DM A and DM B groups showed no significant differences, but the global longitudinal strain and the global circular strain were reduced in the DM B group. There were significant differences in the left ventricular relative wall thickness (RWT), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), the early mitral valvular blood flow velocity peak/left ventricular sidewall mitral annulus late peak velocity, left ventricular sidewall mitral annulus early peak velocity/left ventricular sidewall mitral annulus late peak velocity, isovolumic relaxation time, peak twisting, peak untwisting velocity (PUV), untwisting rate (UntwR), time peak twisting velocity (TPTV), and time peak untwisting velocity (TPUV) between the DM A, DM B, and control groups. While the peak twisting velocity (PTV) was slower in the DM B group compared with the control group, the RWT, PTV, PUV, UntwR, TPTV, and TPUV in the DM B group were significantly different from the DM A group. Conclusion: The cardiac function of patients with T2DM in its early stages, when there are no microvascular complications, could be monitored with the analysis of two-dimensional strain and torsion.

Tummalapalli SL, Estrella MM, Jannat-Khah DP, Keyhani S, Ibrahim S. Capitated versus fee-for-service reimbursement and quality of care for chronic disease: a US cross-sectional analysis. BMC Health Serv Res 2022; 22:19. [PMID: 34980111 PMCID: PMC8723903 DOI: 10.1186/s12913-021-07313-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2021] [Accepted: 11/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Upcoming alternative payment models Primary Care First (PCF) and Kidney Care Choices (KCC) incorporate capitated payments for chronic disease management. Prior research on the effect of capitated payments on chronic disease management has shown mixed results. We assessed the patient, physician, and practice characteristics of practices with capitation as the majority of revenue, and evaluated the association of capitated reimbursement with quality of chronic disease care. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of visits in the United States' National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS) for patients with hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease (CKD). Our predictor was practice reimbursement type, classified as 1) majority capitation, 2) majority FFS, or 3) other reimbursement mix. Outcomes were quality indicators of hypertension control, diabetes control, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker (ACEi/ARB) use, and statin use. RESULTS About 9% of visits were to practices with majority capitation revenue. Capitated practices, compared with FFS and other practices, had lower visit frequency (3.7 vs. 5.2 vs. 5.2, p = 0.006), were more likely to be located in the West Census Region (55% vs. 18% vs. 17%, p < 0.001), less likely to be solo practice (21% vs. 37% vs. 35%, p = 0.005), more likely to be owned by an insurance company, health plan or HMO (24% vs. 13% vs. 13%, p = 0.033), and more likely to have private insurance (43% vs. 25% vs. 19%, p = 0.004) and managed care payments (69% vs. 23% vs. 26%, p < 0.001) as the majority of revenue. The prevalence of controlled hypertension, controlled diabetes, ACEi/ARB use, and statin use was suboptimal across practice reimbursement types. Capitated reimbursement was not associated with differences in hypertension, diabetes, or CKD quality indicators, in multivariable models adjusting for patient, physician, and practice characteristics. CONCLUSIONS Practices with majority capitation revenue differed substantially from FFS and other practices in patient, physician, and practice characteristics, but were not associated with consistent quality differences. Our findings establish baseline estimates of chronic disease quality of care performance by practice reimbursement composition, informing chronic disease care delivery within upcoming payment models.

Serum free triiodothyronine is inversely associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy but not with carotid atherosclerotic lesions in euthyroid patients with type 2 diabetes. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2021; 13:142.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The associations between serum free triiodothyronine (FT3) and diabetic peripheral neuropatprohy (DPN)/carotid atherosclerotic lesions in euthyroid patients with type 2 diabetes are still unclear. The purpose of our study was to explore the relations of FT3 to DPN and carotid atherosclerotic lesions in Chinese type 2 diabetes inpatients with euthyroid function. METHODS 2477 euthyroid inpatients with type 2 diabetes were recruited and they were stratified into quartiles by FT3 levels in this cross-sectional study. Peripheral neuropathy was assessed by neurological symptoms and signs as well as nerve conduction velocity tests. Carotid atherosclerotic lesions, including carotid intima-media thickness, plaque and stenosis, were evaluated by Doppler ultrasound. RESULTS The prevalence of DPN in type 2 diabetic patients exhibited the significant decrease across the FT3 quartiles (23.5%, 20.9%, 18.8%, and 11.2%, respectively, p < 0.001). Multiple logistical regression analysis also revealed that FT3 quartiles were significantly and inversely associated with DPN. Compared with the subjects in the highest FT3 quartile, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of DPN from the first to third FT3 quartile were successively 2.338 (1.407-3.884), 1.903 (1.134-3.194) and 1.598 (0.960-1.125). The patients with DPN had significantly higher prevalence of carotid atherosclerotic lesions compared with non-DPN patients. However, no statistical association was observed between FT3 quartiles and carotid atherosclerotic lesions after adjusting for confounder factors. CONCLUSIONS Lower FT3 within the normal range was independently associated with DPN, but not with carotid atherosclerotic lesions in Chinese euthyroid inpatients with type 2 diabetes.

Ann Med 2021; 53:1316-1326. [PMID: 34382495 PMCID: PMC8366658 DOI: 10.1080/07853890.2021.1965204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2021] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effects of PPM1K rs1440581 and rs7678928 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the serum branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. METHODS Anthropometric and biochemical examinations were performed at baseline and the end of 4 years in 234 individuals who were randomly recruited from the Diabetes Prevention Programme in Huai'an and received lifestyle intervention and follow up for 4 years. Serum BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine and valine (Val)) levels were measured by hydrophilic interaction chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method and the PPM1K rs1440581 and rs7678928 were detected by high-throughput SNP genotyping at baseline. The associations of rs1440581 and rs7678928 with serum BCAA levels and risk for CVD after 4 years were further evaluated. RESULTS The distribution frequencies of PPM1K rs1440581 and rs7678928 met the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (p> .05). The baseline serum levels of Val (p = .022) and total BCAAs (p = .026) in subjects with rs1440581 CC genotype were higher than in those with TT genotype. There were no significant differences in the serum levels of BCAAs among subjects with different genotypes of rs7678928. After 4-year follow-up, the subjects with rs1440581 CC genotype had higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) (p = .027), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (p = .019), triglycerides (TGs) (p = .019) and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) (p = .008) than those with TT genotype, and had higher AST level than those with TT (p = .030) or TC (p = .003) genotype; the subjects with rs7678928 TT genotype had higher SBP (p = .039) and DBP (p = .019) and lower HDL-c than those with CC (p = .017) genotype. Lifestyle intervention had little influence on the serum levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), TG, HDL-c, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), AST and creatinine (CREA) in subjects with rs1440581 CC genotype or rs7678928 TT genotype (p> .05). The incidences of CVD and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in subjects with rs1440581 CC genotype were higher than in those with TT genotype; the incidence of CVD in subjects with rs7678928 TT genotype was higher than in those with CC (p < .05) genotype. CONCLUSIONS Allele C of PPM1K rs1440581 was associated with elevated serum Val, total BCAAs and CVD risks. rs1440581 CC genotype may be a better marker than baseline serum BCAAs in predicting the risk for CVD. TRIAL REGISTRATION Diabetes Prevention Programme in Huai'an of Huai'an Second People's Hospital, ChiCTR-TRC-14005029.KEY MESSAGEAllele C of PPM1K rs1440581 was relevant to elevated serum Val and total BCAAs.PPM1K rs1440581 CC and rs7678928 TT genotypes were associated with CVD risk.PPM1K rs1440581 CC genotype carriers were more likely to have liver injury and develop NAFLD.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Despite there being several meta-analyses on the effects of antidiabetic agents in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, the reliability of their findings is a concern, mainly due to undetermined methodological quality of these studies. This study aimed to assess the methodological quality of available meta-analyses and provide a summary estimation of the effectiveness of treatments modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were comprehensively searched for retrieving relevant meta-analyses published in English up to May 2020. A Measurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR-2) was applied to evaluate methodological quality of eligible meta-analyses. A network meta-analysis was used to calculate the pooled odds ratio of maternal and neonatal outcomes in gestational diabetes mellitus patients treated with metformin or glyburide compared with those treated with insulin. The rank network analysis was carried out for ranking of the treatments and reporting the most efficient treatment. RESULTS A total of 27 and 17 studies were included for qualitative and quantitative syntheses, respectively; of these, just four studies were classified as high quality. The results showed that metformin had the highest probability of being the best treatment, compared with insulin and glyburide, for the majority of adverse neonatal outcomes, whereas glyburide was the best treatment in reducing the risk of adverse maternal outcomes. The results were not significantly changed after excluding low-quality studies. CONCLUSIONS This review study of available literature shows that metformin can be a superior option in most neonatal and maternal adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with gestational diabetes mellitus; the results need to be further updated by including future more qualified studies.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate changes in glucose metabolism and incretin hormone response following longer intestinal bypass reconstruction after distal gastrectomy (DG) in low BMI patients with gastric cancer and type 2 diabetes. A total of 20 patients were prospectively recruited and underwent either conventional Billroth I (BI), Billroth II with long-biliopancreatic limb (BII), or Roux-en-Y anastomosis with long-Roux limb (RY) after DG. A 75g-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was given preoperatively; and at 5 days, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively. Serum glucose, insulin, glucagon, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) were serially measured. At 6 months after surgery, complete diabetes remission was achieved in 57.1% of the BII group but in no patients in the other two groups (p = 0.018). BII group showed a significant reduction in glucose concentration during OGTT at 6 months in contrast to the other 2 groups. In the BII group, a significant increase in GLP-1 secretion was observed after surgery but not maintained at 6 months, while postoperative hyperglucagonemia was alleviated along with a reduction in GIP. BII gastrojejunostomy with long biliopancreatic limb achieved better diabetes control with favorable incretin response after DG compared to BI or RY reconstruction.
