Long-term cumulative incidence of clinically diagnosed retinopathy in the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study
CONCLUSION: A higher cumulative HbA1c was significantly associated with a higher risk of retinopathy. No evidence was found for a beneficial effect of a 4-year lifestyle intervention on the long-term occurrence of clinically diagnosed retinopathy during a median of 22-year follow-up.PMID:38661084 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae287 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

High serum levels of CCL11/Eotaxin-1 are associated with diabetic sensorimotor polyneuropathy and peripheral nerve function but not with cardiac autonomic neuropathy in people with type 2 diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Serum CCL11/Eotaxin-1 is elevated in patients with DSPN and is associated with peripheral nerve dysfunction, in particular sensory nerve conduction velocity, suggesting that serum CCL11/Eotaxin 1 May be a potential biomarker for DSPN.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN) Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN000040631).PMID:38660919 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2024.2347196 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)

Macrophage polarization: an important role in inflammatory diseases
Front Immunol. 2024 Apr 10;15:1352946. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2024.1352946. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTMacrophages are crucial cells in the human body's innate immunity and are engaged in a variety of non-inflammatory reactions. Macrophages can develop into two kinds when stimulated by distinct internal environments: pro-inflammatory M1-like macrophages and anti-inflammatory M2-type macrophages. During inflammation, the two kinds of macrophages are activated alternatively, and maintaining a reasonably steady ratio is critical for maintaining homeostasis in vivo. M1 macrophages can induce inflammation, but M2 macrophages suppress...

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor is Associated with Self-Reported
Quality of Sleep in Type 2 Diabetes Patients in Ghana
Conclusion In this study population, patients with T2DM had a high burden
of self-reported poor quality of sleep and shorter sleep duration compared to
the nondiabetic controls. T2DM interacts negatively with serum BDNF levels to
affect sleep quality. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | open access Full text (Source: Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology and Diabetes)

Aminotransferases as causal factors for metabolic syndrome: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionsOur bidirectional MR analyses suggest that ALT and AST are causally associated with several metabolic syndrome-related traits, especially hypertension and type 2 diabetes. These findings highlight the potential role of aminotransferases as biomarkers and therapeutic targets for metabolic syndrome. (Source: PLoS One)

Vitamin B12 deficiency in diabetic patients treated with metformin: A cross-sectional study
This study set out to evaluate the rate of vitamin B12 deficiency in Vietnamese patients with type 2 diabetes who were t reated with metformin and to investigate factors associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted in Vinmec Central Park Hospital from February to June 2023. The clinical and paraclinical characteristics of the participants were recorded, and the levels of v itamin B12 and folate were measured. The rate of vitamin B12 deficiency in patients treated with metformin was found to be 18.6%. Further, the duration of diabetes, duration of metformin use, metformin dose, ...

Contribution of systemic factors on macular vessel density: a sex-specific population-based study
ConclusionsThis large cross-sectional study shows that older age and type 2 diabetes mellitus are associated with lower superficial and deep retinal capillary vessel density in men. This may help clinicians better understand how systemic factors influence retinal vessel density in different genders and future studies can ascertain more potential sex differences.
