Project description:BACKGROUND:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of chronic respiratory disease. Recent studies have reported diabetes mellitus (DM) to be a poor prognostic factor in patients with chronic respiratory disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial pneumoniae. However, the association between DM and PH in chronic respiratory disease remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether DM is a predictor of PH in patients with chronic respiratory disease. METHODS:We prospectively analyzed 386 patients in our hospital with chronic respiratory disease. An echocardiographic pressure gradient between the right atrium and the right ventricle of ? 40 mmHg was defined as PH. We compared the clinical characteristics and impact of DM between chronic respiratory disease patients with and those without PH. RESULTS:Of the 386 patients, 42 (10.9%) were diagnosed as having PH. The PH group had higher modified medical research council (mMRC) grade and complication rate of DM, but not hypertension and hyperlipidemia, when compared to the non-PH group. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that mMRC scale (odds ratio 1.702, 95% confidence interval, 1.297 to 2.232, P < 0.001) and presence of DM (odd ratio 2.935, 95% confidence interval, 1.505 to 5.725, P = 0.002) were associated with PH in chronic respiratory disease patients. CONCLUSION:DM is potentially associated with PH and is an independent factor for prediction of PH in patients with chronic respiratory disease.

Project description:To determine the effects of empagliflozin on adiposity indices among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Changes in weight, waist circumference, estimated total body fat, index of central obesity and visceral adiposity index were assessed using analysis of covariance and testing of treatment by strata for age, sex and baseline waist circumference in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus randomized to blinded treatment with empagliflozin versus placebo in clinical trials of 12 weeks (cohort 1) or 24 weeks (cohort 2) duration.This study comprised 3300 patients (cohort 1, N = 823; cohort 2, N = 2477). Empagliflozin reduced weight, waist circumference and adiposity indices versus placebo in both cohorts. Adjusted mean (95% confidence interval) change from baseline in empagliflozin versus placebo was -1.7 kg (-2.1 to -1.4 kg) and -1.9 kg (-2.1 to -1.7 kg) for body weight (p < 0.001); -1.3 cm (-1.8 to -0.7 cm) and -1.3 cm (-1.7 to -1.0 cm) for waist circumference (p < 0.001); -0.2% (-0.7% to 0.3%; p = 0.45) and -0.3% (-0.7% to 0.0%; p = 0.08) for estimated total body fat; -0.007 (-0.011 to -0.004) and -0.008 (-0.010 to -0.006) for index of central obesity (p < 0.001); and -0.3 (-0.5 to 0.0; p = 0.07) and -0.4 (-0.7 to -0.1; p = 0.003) for visceral adiposity index in cohorts 1 and 2, respectively. Adipose reductions were seen across most age, sex and waist circumference subgroups.Empagliflozin significantly reduced weight and adiposity indices with the potential to improve cardiometabolic risk among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:ContextMaternal obesity and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can both contribute to adverse neonatal outcomes. The extent to which this may be mediated by differences in placental metabolism and nutrient transport remains to be determined.ObjectiveOur objective was to examine whether raised maternal body mass index (BMI) and/or GDM contributed to a resetting of the expression of genes within the placenta that are involved in energy sensing, oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic pathways.MethodsPregnant women from Spain were recruited as part of the "Study of Maternal Nutrition and Genetics on the Foetal Adiposity Programming" survey at the first antenatal visit (12-20 weeks of gestation) and stratified according to prepregnancy BMI and the incidence of GDM. At delivery, placenta and cord blood were sampled and newborn anthropometry measured.ResultsObese women with GDM had higher estimated fetal weight at 34 gestational weeks and a greater risk of preterm deliveries and cesarean section. Birth weight was unaffected by BMI or GDM; however, women who were obese with normal glucose tolerance had increased placental weight and higher plasma glucose and leptin at term. Gene expression for markers of placental energy sensing and oxidative stress, were primarily affected by maternal obesity as mTOR was reduced, whereas SIRT-1 and UCP2 were both upregulated. In placenta from obese women with GDM, gene expression for AMPK was also reduced, whereas the downstream regulator of mTOR, p70S6KB1 was raised.ConclusionsPlacental gene expression is sensitive to both maternal obesity and GDM which both impact on energy sensing and could modulate the effect of either raised maternal BMI or GDM on birth weight.

Project description:ObjectiveMetabolic complications are common in patients with acromegaly. However, this occasionally does not improve post-surgery and may be related to postoperative weight gain. We aimed to investigate the postoperative weight change and factors associated with postoperative weight gain in patients with acromegaly.Design and methodsOverall, 113 consecutive patients with body weight records pre- and 3-6 months post-surgery between October 2009 and March 2021 were enrolled. Patients were divided into three groups: weight loss (weight decrease ≥3%), stable, and weight gain (weight increase ≥3%). Hormone status, metabolic comorbidities, and anthropometric parameters were compared between the groups.ResultsAmong 113 patients, 29 (25.7%) and 26 (23.0%) patients lost and gained weight, respectively, post-surgery. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics, including age at diagnosis, sex, body mass index, and growth hormone levels among the three groups. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus at diagnosis was significantly higher in the weight gain group than in the other groups. Patients with diabetes (n=22) had a 5.2-fold higher risk of postoperative weight gain than those with normal glucose tolerance (n=37) (P=0.006). In the diabetes mellitus group, the percentage lean mass decreased (-4.5 [-6.6-2.0]%, P=0.002), and the percentage fat mass significantly increased post-surgery (18.0 [4.6-36.6]%, P=0.003), whereas the normal glucose tolerance group did not show body composition changes post-surgery.ConclusionIn patients with acromegaly, 23% experienced ≥3% weight gain post-surgery. Diabetes mellitus at diagnosis is a significant predictor of weight and fat gain post-surgery.

Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) predicts ominous outcomes in acute pulmonary embolism (PE). The influence of gender on the prognostic impact of DM in PE is unknown. We did a retrospective analysis of a cohort of patients hospitalized with PE between 2006 and 2013. The exclusion criteria were age <18, non-pulmonary veins thromboembolism, recurrent PE, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, no radiologic confirmation of PE, and active neoplasia. The primary endpoint was all-cause mortality. The follow-up was from diagnosis until October 2017. We assessed the prognostic impact of DM using a multivariate Cox regression analysis. The analysis was stratified according to gender. The interaction between gender and DM in the outcome of patients with PE was tested. We studied 577 PE patients (median age 65 years, 36.9% men, 19.8% diabetic). The genders were similar regarding the prevalence of DM, the extension and location of PE, and the thrombolytic therapy or brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) value. Diabetics presented higher all-cause mortality (Hazard ratio (HR) = 2.33 (95% confidence Interval (CI) 1.513.61)) when compared with non-diabetics. However, when analysis was stratified according to gender, DM was independently associated with a worse prognosis only in women (HR = 2.31 (95% CI 1.453.65)), while in men the HR was 1.10 (95% CI 0.592.04). The interaction between gender and DM was significant (p = 0.04). Gender influences the prognostic impact of DM in acute PE. Diabetic women with PE have twice the long-term mortality risk, while DM is not mortality-associated in men.

Project description:The objective of the present study was to establish if individuals with Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) and periodontal diseases (gingivitis or periodontitis) presented an increase in the concentration of modified LDL (moLDL) and what is the influence of periodontal treatment on the decrease of moLDL particles with consequent improvement in the parameters of DM2. Twenty-four diabetic patients with periodontitis (Group 1) and twenty-four diabetic patients with gingivitis (Group 2) were followed up for a period of 12 months. Group 1 was treated with periodontal debridement, and Group 2 received supra-gingival scaling and prophylaxis. In both groups, periodontal clinical parameters: probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), gingival resection (GR), bleeding on probing index (BOP) and plaque index; inflammatory serum markers (glycemia, A1c, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-c), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c), triglycerides and hs-CRP) and oxidized LDL (oxLDL) were measured at baseline, t = 6 and t = 12 months after treatment. Solutions of LDL were analyzed using the nonlinear optical Z-Scan and optical absorption techniques. The periodontal clinical parameters showed significant improvement (p < 0.05) in both Group after 12 months. For both groups, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, triglycerides and A1c levels did not show significant reductions after periodontal therapy. hs-CRP levels in Group 1 presented a significant reduction after 12 months. The glycemic rate and the oxLDL concentrations did not show significant differences as a function of time. The optical measurements of LDL solutions revealed an improvement of the LDL-c quality in both groups. Periodontal debridement was able to improve periodontal parameters and the quality of LDL-c in diabetic patients but without changes in the oxLDL concentration in both groups. Considering the clinical relevance, the reduction of infectious and inflammatory sites present in the oral cavity through periodontal therapy may help with the control and prevention of hyperglycemia and precursors of cardiovascular diseases.

Project description:Excessive pre-pregnancy weight is a known risk factor of pregnancy complications. The purpose of this analysis was to assess the relationship between several categories of maternal weight and the risk of developing hypertension and diabetes in pregnancy, and the relationship of these complications with the results of the newborn. It was carried out in a common cohort of pregnant women and taking into account the influence of disturbing factors. Our analysis was conducted in a prospective cohort of 912 Polish pregnant women, recruited during 2015-2016. We evaluated the women who subsequently developed diabetes with dietary modification (GDM-1) (n = 125) and with insulin therapy (GDM-2) (n = 21), as well as the women who developed gestational hypertension (GH) (n = 113) and preeclampsia (PE) (n = 24), compared to the healthy controls. Odds ratios of the complications (and confidence intervals (95%)) were calculated in the multivariate logistic regression. In the cohort, 10.8% of the women had pre-pregnancy obesity (body mass index (BMI) ? 30 kg/m2), and 36.8% had gestational weight gain (GWG) above the range of the Institute of Medicine recommendation. After correction for excessive GWG and other confounders, pre-pregnancy obesity (vs. normal BMI) was associated with a higher odds ratio of GH (AOR = 4.94; p < 0.001), PE (AOR = 8.61; p < 0.001), GDM-1 (AOR = 2.99; p < 0.001), and GDM-2 (AOR = 11.88; p <0.001). The threshold risk of development of GDM-2 occurred at lower BMI values (26.9 kg/m2), compared to GDM-1 (29.1 kg/m2). The threshold point for GH was 24.3 kg/m2, and for PE 23.1 kg/m2. For GWG above the range (vs. GWG in the range), the adjusted odds ratios of GH, PE, GDM-1, and GDM-2 were AOR = 1.71 (p = 0.045), AOR = 1.14 (p = 0.803), AOR = 0.74 (p = 0.245), and AOR = 0.76 (p = 0.672), respectively. The effect of maternal edema on all the results was negligible. In our cohort, hypertension and diabetes were associated with incorrect birth weight and gestational age at delivery. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance and influence of excessive pre-pregnancy maternal weight on the risk of pregnancy complications such as diabetes and hypertension which can impact fetal outcomes.

Project description:Proteomics is a powerful approach to study the molecular mechanisms of cancer. In this study, we aim to characterize the proteomic profile of gastric cancer (GC) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. Forty GC tissue samples including 19 cases from diabetic patients and 21 cases from individuals without diabetes (control group) were selected for the proteomics analysis. Gastric tissues were processed following the single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced sample preparation approach—SP3 and enzymatic digestion with trypsin. The resulting peptides were analyzed by LC-MS Liquid Chromatography—Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). The comparison of protein expression levels between GC samples from diabetic and non-diabetic patients was performed by label-free quantification (LFQ). A total of 6599 protein groups were identified in the 40 samples. Thirty-seven proteins were differentially expressed among the two groups, with 16 upregulated and 21 downregulated in the diabetic cohort. Statistical overresentation tests were considered for different annotation sets including the Gene Ontology(GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), Reactome, and Disease functional databases. Upregulated proteins in the GC samples from diabetic patients were particularly enriched in respiratory electron transport and alcohol metabolic biological processes, while downregulated proteins were associated with epithelial cancers, intestinal diseases, and cell–cell junction cellular components. Taken together, these results support the data already obtained by previous studies that associate diabetes with metabolic disorders and diabetes-associated diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, and also provide valuable insights into seven GC-associated protein targets, claudin-3, polymeric immunoglobulin receptor protein, cadherin-17, villin-1, transglutaminase-2, desmoglein-2, and mucin-13, which warrant further investigation.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension overlap in the population. In many subjects, development of diabetes mellitus is characterized by a relatively rapid increase in plasma glucose values. Whether a similar phenomenon occurs during the development of hypertension is not known. We analyzed the pattern of blood pressure (BP) changes during the development of hypertension in patients with or without diabetes mellitus using data from the MCDS (Mexico City Diabetes Study; a population-based study of diabetes mellitus in Hispanic whites) and in the FOS (Framingham Offspring Study, a community-based study in non-Hispanic whites) during a 7-year follow-up. Diabetes mellitus at baseline was a significant predictor of incident hypertension (in FOS, odds ratio, 3.14; 95% confidence interval, 2.17-4.54) independently of sex, age, body mass index, and familial diabetes mellitus. Conversely, hypertension at baseline was an independent predictor of incident diabetes mellitus (in FOS, odds ratio, 3.33; 95% CI, 2.50-4.44). In >60% of the converters, progression from normotension to hypertension was characterized by a steep increase in BP values, averaging 20 mm Hg for systolic BP within 3.5 years (in MCDS). In comparison with the nonconverters group, hypertension and diabetes mellitus converters shared a metabolic syndrome phenotype (hyperinsulinemia, higher body mass index, waist girth, BP, heart rate and pulse pressure, and dyslipidemia). Overall, results were similar in the 2 ethnic groups. We conclude that (1) development of hypertension and diabetes mellitus track each other over time, (2) transition from normotension to hypertension is characterized by a sharp increase in BP values, and (3) insulin resistance is one common feature of both prediabetes and prehypertension and an antecedent of progression to 2 respective disease states.

Project description:BackgroundCardiovascular disease is the most prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Hypertension (HTN) has been confirmed as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is frequently associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, the detection and management of elevated blood pressure (BP) is a critical component of the comprehensive clinical management of diabetics. Since the rates of hypertension in diabetics are lacking in Afghanistan, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of elevated blood pressure in type-2 diabetic patients.Materials and methodsThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study, which included 321 type -2 diabetic patients (119 males, 202 females) with a mean age of 53.86 ± 11.54 years who were presented to the Noble OPD center from November 2019 to January 2020.ResultsThe elevated blood pressure was detected in 70.5% of the patients. It was more prevalent in women than men (76.8% and 59.7% respectively). The mean systolic blood pressure was 146.94 ± 23.19 mmHg and mean diastolic blood pressure was 89.61 ± 11.59 mmHg. The mean pulse pressure was 57.32 ± 15.58 mmHg and the mean arterial pressure was 48.98 ± 7.73 mmHg. The mean body weight was 73.09 ± 13.75 Kg. The mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 7.08 ± 5.95 years with the average HbA1c of 9.27 ± 2.41%. The mean body mass index (BMI) of the patients was noted 28.77 ± 5.58 kg/m2.ConclusionThis study showed high prevalence of hypertension in type-2 diabetes patients with a significant difference in the rate of elevated blood pressure between males and females (it was higher in females than males). The systolic blood pressure had a positive correlation with age. However, it was insignificant for diastolic blood pressure. Healthcare providers and other health sector should work in collaboration for designing appropriate preventive strategies targeting the modifiable risk factors associated with hypertension.
