Early vascular parameters in the micro- and macrocirculation in type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Diabetes converts from a metabolic disorder into a predominantly vascular disease, once its duration extends over several years or/and when additional cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension coexist. In a cross-sectional analysis we analyzed various vascular parameters in the renal, retinal and systemic circulation, with the goal to identify which vascular parameter of early organ damage is the earliest that can be clinically detected. METHODS:In 111 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (off any anti-diabetic medication for at least 4 weeks) and 54 subjects without T2DM we compared various parameters of early vascular remodeling in the same patient: urinary albumin creatinine ratio ([UACR], early morning spot urine) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), retinal capillary flow (RCF) and intercapillary distance (ICD) as parameters of capillary rarefaction, wall-to-lumen ratio (WLR) of the retinal arterioles [all assessed by Scanning Laser Doppler Flowmetry], and central systolic pressure (cSBP) and central pulse pressure (cPP) [measured by pulse wave analysis, Syphygmocor] both reflecting vascular stiffness of large arteries. RESULTS:Compared to subjects without T2DM, patients with T2DM (diabetes duration: median 48 months, interquartile range 24-88 months) were older (59.8?±?7.3 vs 43.4?±?12.9 years, p?

Project description:AimsThe aim of the present study was to evaluate, by means of a meta-analysis approach, whether new available data, appeared on qualified literature, can support the effectiveness of an association of HbA1c variability with the risk of macro- and/or micro-vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsThe meta-analysis was conducted according to PRISMA Statement guidelines and considered published studies on T2DM, presenting HbA1c variability as standard deviation (SD) or its derived coefficient of variation (CV). Literature search was performed on PubMed in the time range 2015-July 2022, with no restrictions of language.ResultsTwenty-three selected studies fulfilled the aims of the present investigation. Overall, the analysis of the risk as hazard ratios (HR) indicated a significant association between the HbA1c variability, expressed either as SD or CV, and the complications, except for neuropathy. Macro-vascular complications were all significantly associated with HbA1c variability, with HR 1.40 (95%CI 1.31-1.50, p < 0.0001) for stroke, 1.30 (95%CI 1.25-1.36, p < 0.0001) for transient ischaemic attack/coronary heart disease/myocardial infarction, and 1.32 (95%CI 1.13-1.56, p = 0.0007) for peripheral arterial disease. Micro-vascular complications yielded HR 1.29 (95%CI 1.22-1.36, p < 0.0001) for nephropathy, 1.03 (95%CI 0.99-1.08, p = 0.14) for neuropathy, and 1.15 (95%CI 1.08-1.24, p < 0.0001) for retinopathy. For all-cause mortality, HR was 1.33 (95%CI 1.27-1.39, p < 0.0001), and for cardiovascular mortality 1.25 (95%CI 1.17-1.34, p < 0.0001).ConclusionsOur meta-analysis on HbA1c variability performed on the most recent published data since 2015 indicates positive association between HbA1c variability and macro-/micro-vascular complications, as well as mortality events, in T2DM, suggesting that this long-term glycaemic parameter merits further attention as a predictive, independent risk factor for T2DM population.

Project description:Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, unexplained by traditional risk factors. Impairment of microcirculation and vascular hemodynamics may represent early signs of vascular affection. We hypothesized that studies of microcirculation and pulse waves may provide additional information, compared to ultrasound (US) alone, for the detection of early vascular disease in SLE. Methods: Sixty well-characterized SLE-patients (52 women, eight men; mean age 43.21 ± 1.3 years) characterized by lupus nephritis (LN; n = 20), antiphospholipid syndrome (APS; n = 20) or skin and joint involvement (n = 20) and 60 healthy controls were included. Microcirculatory peak oxygen saturation (OxyP) was evaluated using a novel combined laser Doppler flowmetry/diffuse reflectance spectroscopy method. Pulse waves were recorded in the radial artery by the aid of applanation tonometry in order to calculate central augmentation index (AIx75). Intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque occurrence were evaluated using high frequency US, in carotid and central arteries. Results: Lower OxyP (84 ± 8 vs. 87 ± 5 %, p = 0.01) and higher AIx75 (17.3 ± 13.9 vs. 10.0 ± 14.2 %, p = 0.005) were seen in the SLE cohort. OxyP was inversely correlated with IMT in internal carotid artery (ICA), (R = -0.32, p = 0.01). AIx75 correlated with IMT in common carotid artery (CCA), (R = 0.36, p = 0.005), common femoral artery (CFA), (R = 0.43, p = 0.001), and ICA (R = 0.27, p = 0.04). AIx75 correlated negatively with OxyP (R = -0.29, p = 0.02). SLE-patients with plaque had lower OxyP values (80 ± 8 vs. 85 ± 7 %, p < 0.001) and higher AIx75 (23.0 ± 11.6 vs. 15.5 ± 14.2 %, p < 0.001) compared to those without plaque. Conclusion: Impaired microcirculation and vessel hemodynamics were observed in SLE. These methods correlated with IMT and plaque occurrence. The importance of early macro- and micro-circulatory vascular affection for increased risk of CVD in SLE will be followed-up in future studies.

Project description:The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare plasma C-peptide presence and levels in people without diabetes (CON) and with Type 1 diabetes and relate C-peptide status to clinical factors. In a subset we evaluated 50 microRNAs (miRs) previously implicated in beta-cell death and associations with clinical status and C-peptide levels. Diabetes age of onset was stratified as adult (≥ 18 y.o) or childhood (< 18 y.o.), and diabetes duration was stratified as ≤ 10 years, 10-20 years and > 20 years. Plasma C-peptide was measured by ultrasensitive ELISA. Plasma miRs were quantified using TaqMan probe-primer mix on an OpenArray platform. C-peptide was detectable in 55.3% of (n = 349) people with diabetes, including 64.1% of adults and 34.0% of youth with diabetes, p < 0.0001 and in all (n = 253) participants without diabetes (CON). C-peptide levels, when detectable, were lower in the individuals with diabetes than in the CON group [median lower quartile (LQ)-upper quartile (UQ)] 5.0 (2.6-28.7) versus 650.9 (401.2-732.4) pmol/L respectively, p < 0.0001 and lower in childhood versus adult-onset diabetes [median (LQ-UQ) 4.2 (2.6-12.2) pmol/L vs. 8.0 (2.3-80.5) pmol/L, p = 0.02, respectively]. In the childhood-onset group more people with longer diabetes duration (> 20 years) had detectable C-peptide (60%) than in those with shorter diabetes duration (39%, p for trend < 0.05). Nine miRs significantly correlated with detectable C-peptide levels in people with diabetes and 16 miRs correlated with C-peptide levels in CON. Our cross-sectional study results are supportive of (a) greater beta-cell function loss in younger onset Type 1 diabetes; (b) persistent insulin secretion in adult-onset diabetes and possibly regenerative secretion in childhood-onset long diabetes duration; and (c) relationships of C-peptide levels with circulating miRs. Confirmatory clinical studies and related basic science studies are merited.
