However, few studies have compared the relative importance of glycemic w'. Bp control in patients with diabetes and hypertension. We aimed to investigate the association between Bp and glycemic control and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in older patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Methods In a cross-sectional study, B-mode high-resolution ultrasonography of the carotid artery was performed in 670 subjects (508 males and 162 females) aged 60 years or over who had self-reported hypertension and diabetes but no history of coronary heart disease or stroke. Subjects were categorized by their systolic blood pressure: tight control, 〈 130 mmHg; usual control, 130-139 mmHg; or uncontrolled, 〉 140 mmHg, and by their hemoglobin Alc (HbAlc) level: tight control, 〈 6.5%; usual control, 6.5%-7.5%; or uncontrolled, 〉 7.5%, respectively. Results The mean CIMT was 8.20 ±0.11 mm, and carotid plaque was found in 52.5% (352/670) subjects. Overall, 62.1% of the subjects had subclinical carotid atherosclerosis, defined as having either carotid plaque or elevated CIMT (≥ 1.1 ram). The mean CIMT was significantly different between Bp control categories (7.60 ± 0.09 mm, 7.90 ±0.08 mm, and 8.60 ± 0.12 mm, respectively, P = 0.03) but not between glycemic control categories (8.20± 0.10 mm, 8.1 ±0.08 mm, and 8.40 ± 0.14 ram, respectively, P = 0.13) using ANCOVA analysis. Multivariable logistic regression adjusting for potential confounding factors showed that usual or uncontrolled Bp control were associated with having carotid plaque (OR = 1.08 and OR=1.42, respectively), or elevated CIMT [Odd ratio (OR) = 1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-2.24, and OR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.36-2.96, respectively compared to tight Bp control; but did not show glycemic control as independent predictor of either having carotid plaque or elevated CIMT. Conclusions In older patients with hypertension and diabetes, blood pressure control, but not glycemic control is associated with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis.展开更多

The aim of this study was to assess the level of under-pharmacy and poly-pbarmacy and its prognostic impact in elderly patients with metabolic syndrome. Methods Retrospective chart-review at a tertiary medical center, of 324 patients greater than 65 years of age who met the International Diabetes Foundation criteria for metabolic syndrome diagnosis [Body Mass Index (BMI) 〉 30 kg/m2, diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia]. Results There were 60 (18.5%) patients in the low (〈 5) medication burden group, 159 (49.1%) in the medium (〉 5 and 〈 10) medication burden group, and 105 (32.4%) in the high (〉 10) medication burden group. At baseline, the groups differed only by systolic blood pressure. At two years follow-up, the medium group had significantly better improvement in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), HbAlc, and systolic blood pressure compared to the low medication burden group and significantly better improvement in triglycerides, Haemoglobin Alc (HbAlc) and systolic blood pressure compared to the high medication group. Decrease in HDL-C was the only variable associated with strokes. High medication burden predicted hospitalization burden. The number of anti-hypertensives, history of tobacco use, low and high medication burdens and decrease in HDL-C were all associated with death. Conclusions Both poly-pharmacy and under-pharmacy are associated with a decreased therapeutic benefit among patients with metabolic syndrome in terms of important laboratory measurements as well as clinical outcomes such as myocardial infarctions, hospitalization, and death.展开更多

However, it remains inconclusive whether saxagliptin is associated with increased risk of adverse events (AE) and efficacy as add-on treatment. Therefore, we performed an up-to-date meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of saxagliptin with placebo and other oral hypoglycemic agents in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing saxagliptin with comparators were retrieved by selecting articles from Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Clinical Trials Registry Platform up to Oct. 2013. Weighted mean difference (WMD) was used to analyze the effect of hypoglycemic agents on HbAlc, weight and fasting plasma glucose (FPG). While the patients who achieved HbAlc〈7.0% and had AE were analyzed as relative risks (RR). A total of 18 articles from 16 RCTs and one clinic trial from the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform met the included criterion. Clinically significant decrease from baseline HbAlc compared with placebo was certified for 2.5 mg/day saxagliptin (WMD = -0.45%, 95% CI, -0.48% to -0.42%) and 5 mg/d saxagliptin (WMD = -0.52%, 95% CI, -0.60% to -0.44%). Saxagliptin as add-on therapy was superior to thiazolidinediones, up-titrated glyburide, up-titrated metformin or metformin monotherapy in achieving HbA1c〈7.0%. Treatment with saxagliptin had negligible effect on weight, and it was considered weight neutral. Saxagliptin treatment did not increase the risk of hypoglycemia (RR = 1.28, 95% CI 0.72 to 2.27, P = 0.40) and serious adverse experiences (RR = 1.25, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.66, P = 0.13). No statistically significant differences were observed between saxagliptin and comparators in terms of the risk of infections. The present study showed that saxagliptin was effective in improving glycaemic control in T2DM with a low risk of hypoglycaemia and incidence of infections in either monotherapy or add-on treatment. This founding should be further certified by large-sample size and good-designed RCT.展开更多

Gilg have been used in folk medicine for the treatment of diabetes in Guangdong Province,China.In this study,effects of ethanol extract of Aquilaria sinensis leaves on hyperglycemia were investigated in diabetic db/db mice.After 4 weeks of administration,the 95%ethanol(EtOH) extract of Aquilaria sinensis leaves (AE),especially at high dose level(600 mg/kg),activated AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK),resulting in reduced fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in db/db mice.In addition,the oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT test) showed that AE could remarkably improve insulin resistance.Compared to Thiazolinediones(TZDs),no weight gain was observed after AE administration,which is a severe side effect of TZDs.The data suggested that AE could act as an activator of AMPK,and might be used as an alternative to TZDs in the management of obesity-related diabetes.展开更多

The aim of this study was to determine the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and its receptors in patients with well-controlled diabetes. Methods: The study was conducted on 31 patients with well-controlled type 2 diabetes without microor macroangiopathy. Thirty healthy volunteers were enrolled in a control group. Serum concentrations of VEGF-A, VEGF receptors 1 and 2 (VEGFR1 and VEGFR2), fasting glucose, and lipid profiles were measured, and the plasma concentration of glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc) was determined. Results: No significant differences were observed between the concentration of VEGF-A, VEGFR1 or VEGFR2 in the subject group and that in the control group. Positive correlations were noted between the levels of VEGF-A, VEGFR2, and triglyceride, and there was a negative correlation between the levels of VEGFR2 and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterel in the study group. Conclusions: The concentrations of VEGF-A and its receptors 1 and 2 in patients with well-controlled diabetes are comparable to those of healthy individuals, which may indicate that appropriate control of glucose levels delays the occurrence of vascular complications. A negative correlation between VEGFR2 and HDL-cholesterol levels, and positive correlations between VEGF-A, VEGFR2, and triglyceride levels, suggest that lipid abnormalities occurring in diabetes may be involved in the modulation of angiogenesis.展开更多
