Poor glycemic control of diabetes mellitus is associated with higher risk of prostate cancer detection in a biopsy population.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the impact of glycemic control of diabetes mellitus (DM) on prostate cancer detection in a biopsy population.We retrospectively reviewed the records of 1,368 men who underwent prostate biopsy at our institution. We divided our biopsy population into three groups according to their history of DM, and their Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level: a no-DM (DM-) group; a good glycemic control (DM+GC) group (HbA1c <6.5%); and a poor glycemic control (DM+PC) group (HbA1c ≥6.5%). For sub-analyses, the DM+PC group was divided into a moderately poor glycemic control (DM+mPC) group (6.5≤ HbA1c <7.5%) and a severely poor glycemic control (DM+sPC) group (HbA1c ≥7.5%).Among 1,368 men, 338 (24.7%) had a history of DM, and 393 (28.7%) had a positive biopsy. There was a significant difference in prostatic specific antigen density (PSAD) (P = 0.037) and the frequency of abnormal DRE findings (P = 0.031) among three groups. The occurrence rate of overall prostate cancer (P<0.001) and high-grade prostate cancer (P = 0.016) also presented with a significantly difference. In the multivariate analysis, the DM+PC group was significantly associated with a higher rate of overall prostate cancer detection in biopsy subjects compared to the DM- group (OR = 2.313, P = 0.001) but the DM+PC group was not associated with a higher rate of high-grade (Gleason score ≥7) diseases detected during the biopsy (OR = 1.297, P = 0.376). However, in subgroup analysis, DM+sPC group was significantly related to a higher risk of high-grade diseases compared to the DM- group (OR = 2.446, P = 0.048).Poor glycemic control of DM was associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer detection, including high-grade disease, in the biopsy population.

Project description:PurposeTo examine the association of individual and combined indicators of diabetes control with diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema.Materials and methodsIn this clinical, cross-sectional study, 613 adults with type 2 diabetes (372 any diabetic retinopathy; 183 any diabetic macular edema) were examined. Diabetic retinopathy was assessed from fundus photographs; diabetic macular edema from Ocular Coherence Tomography scans; and HbA1c and serum lipid values from fasting blood samples. Poor glucose control was defined as HbA1c?7%; poor blood pressure control as SBP?130/DBP?80; and poor lipid control as total cholesterol:HDL ratio?4.0. The association of poor glucose control, poor blood pressure control and poor lipid control alone and in combination (poor glucose & blood pressure control; poor glucose & lipid control; poor blood pressure & lipid control; and poor glucose, blood pressure & lipid control) with diabetic retinopathy/diabetic macular edema was examined using multiple logistic regression models.ResultsPatients' mean±standard deviation age was 64.9±11.6 years (57% male). In adjusted models, compared to those with good control of all indicators (n = 99, 18.3%), the odds ratio (95% Confidence Interval) of having any diabetic retinopathy was 2.44 (1.34-4.46), 3.75 (1.75-8.07), 4.64 (2.13-10.12) and 2.28 (1.01-5.16) for poor glucose control only; poor glucose & blood pressure control; poor glucose & lipid control; and poor glucose, blood pressure & lipid control, respectively. Correspondingly for diabetic macular edema, they were 3.19 (1.55-6.59); 3.60 (1.58-8.22); 2.76 (1.18-6.44); and 3.01 (1.18-7.67), respectively. Odds were not significantly increased for other indicators.DiscussionCompared to individual indicators of poor diabetes control, risk of diabetic retinopathy and diabetic macular edema increased three to fourfold with a combination of these indicators. Targeting combined diabetes control indicators is important to reduce risk of diabetic retinopathy/diabetic macular edema.

Project description:Abstract Background An emerging field of research concerns the deleterious effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on bone. Our group has previously reported a hemoglobin A1c (A1c) threshold of 7% where bone impairment occurs as reflected by reduction in bone turnover markers and deterioration in bone microarchitecture and strength. However, whether poor glycemic control is also associated with underlying derangements in cellular flux remains unclear. Methods Analysis of the baseline data from 42 consecutive men aged 35-65 enrolled in a clinical trial (NCT03887936) at the Michael E DeBakey VA Medical Center, Houston, TX, who were able to provide the outcomes of interest. Inclusion criteria were average fasting morning testosterone from 2 measurements of <300 ng/dl, T2DM and BMI<35 kg/m2. The following variables were assessed: A1c by high performance liquid chromatography; testosterone and estradiol by LC/MS; bone turnover markers and sex hormone binding globulin by ELISA; quantification of osteoblast (OB) progenitors and osteoclast (OC) precursors by flow cytometry; areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and body composition by DXA; and bone microarchitecture and strength by high resolution peripheral quantitative computerized tomography. Results Participants with poorly controlled T2DM (A1c>7%) had significantly lower percent of OB progenitors in circulation than those with A1c≤7% (1.12 ± 0. 079% v 1.47 ± 0.11% of non-B non-T non-NK cells, p=0. 02) when controlling for age, duration of T2DM, free testosterone, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Higher levels of free testosterone were associated with smaller percentage of OB progenitors (r = -0.31, p = 0. 05). Although the percent of OC precursors in circulation (cells that were dual CD14CD11b+, CD14MCSFR+, or CD14CD120b+) was not significantly related to A1c, it was positively associated with percent of OB progenitors in peripheral blood (r = 0.34, p = 0. 03; r = 0.35, p = 0. 02; r = 0.39, p = 0. 01) respectively. There was a significant positive association between OB progenitors and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume (r=0.41, p=0. 009). Although there was no association between osteoblast progenitors and osteocalcin levels (product of mature OBs), osteocalcin negatively correlated with VAT (r=-0.47, p=0. 002). There was no association between OB progenitors and OC precursors with aBMD or bone microarchitecture parameters. Conclusions Poor glycemic control is associated with fewer circulating OB progenitors, as was higher free testosterone levels while the converse was true for VAT. It is possible that the former harms cell viability, while the latter two affect differentiation of OB progenitors into mature OB's; with testosterone promoting, and visceral adipose tissue (via unknown mediators) retarding maturation as suggested by the negative association between osteocalcin and VAT. The positive association between OB progenitors with circulating OC precursors is consistent with the physiologic crosstalk between OB and OC which appears to be preserved in patients with T2D.
