The disposable single-use strips were made from conductive carbon ink and modified with fructosyl amino acid oxidase. The electrodes and conducting paths were made solely with carbon ink and characterized by conductivity and cyclic voltammetry. The biosensor showed high current output, large linearity, and effectiveness for fructosyl valine as well as human blood samples. Amperometric studies were carried out using both fructosyl valine and human blood samples. With 5 uL sample volume, the biosensor showed strong amperometric response with good linearity for a wide range (0 to 8 mM). Diabetic and healthy blood samples showed sufficient difference in their amperometric responses that correlate well with their different hemoglobin A1c levels. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using this type of inexpensive single-use biosensor strips as the basis for determining hemoglobin A1c levels for diabetic patients.展开更多

Objective: The aim was to study the relationship between GFR, C-peptide level and other parameters at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Methods: We determined GFR, Cpeptide level, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI) SDS and loss of weight at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes in 495 children (231 females). Linear and multiple regression analysis was used to test for the associations between GFR and other parameters. Results: In the 495 patients, GFR median (interquartile range) was increased vs normal values (p = 0.0001). GFR was significantly negatively correlated with age (p < 0.001) and C-peptide level (p = 0.001), and positively correlated with weight loss (p = 0.02). The multiple regression analysis showed that age (p = 0.001) and C-peptide level (p = 0.05) were independently and negatively related to GFR. Conclusions: This study shows that, at onset of Type 1 diabetes, higher the GFR, younger the age and lower the C-peptide level are. The role of this hyperfiltration in the development of later nephropathy and the putative preventive effect of C-peptide administration need to be evaluated.展开更多

The monitoring of glycemic control is currently based on the self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG) and laboratory testing for hemoglobin A1 c(HbA1 c),which is a surrogate biochemical marker of the average glycemia level over the previous 2-3 mo period. Although hyperglycemia is a key biochemical feature of diabetes, both the level of and exposure to high glucose, as well as glycemic variability, contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications and follow different patterns in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. HbA1 c provides a valuable,standardized and evidence-based parameter that is relevant for clinical decision making, but several biological and analytical confounders limit its accuracy in reflecting true glycemia. It has become apparent in recent years that other glycated proteins such as fructosamine, glycated albumin, and the nutritional monosaccharide 1,5-anhydroglucitol, as well as integrated measures from direct glucose testing by an SMBG/continuous glucose monitoring system, may provide valuable complementary data, particularly in circumstances when HbA1 c results may be unreliable or are insufficient to assess the risk of adverse outcomes. Long-term associations of these alternative biomarkers of glycemia with the risk of complications need to be investigated in order to provide clinically relevant cut-off values and to validate their utility in diverse populations of diabetes patients.展开更多

After a two-week acclimation period, the control group was administered Brucella broth and the H. pylori group was challenged intra-gastrically five times every other day with approximately 109/CFU H. pylori ATCC43504(Cag A+, Vac A+). Each group was then divided into two subgroups, which were sacrificed at either 6 or 12 mo. The control and H. pylori subgroups each contained 10 Mongolian gerbils. Body weight, abdominal circumference, and body length were measured, and body mass index(BMI) and Lee's index were calculated. Biochemical assays were used to detect serum indexes, including glucose, glycated hemoglobin(GHb), glycated hemoglobin A1c(Hb A1c), triacylglycerol, and total cholesterol, using an automatic biochemistry analyzer. Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4,IL-10, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interferon(IFN)-g, were assayed using ELISA. The expression of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) was detected by immunohistochemistry, and islet apoptosis was measured using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay.RESULTS: At each time point, body weight, abdominal circumference, BMI, and Lee's index were increased after H. pylori infection. However, these differences were not significant. H. pylori infection significantly increased the GHb(5.45 ± 0.53 vs 4.98 ± 0.22, P < 0.05) and Hb A1c(4.91 ± 0.61 vs 4.61 ± 0.15, P < 0.05) levels at 12 mo. We observed no significant differences in serum biochemical indexes, including fasting blood glucose, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol, at 6 or 12 mo after infection. H. pylori infection significantly increased the expression of IGF-1(P < 0.05). Insulin levels from the pancreas and the apoptotic rate of islet β-cells remained unchanged. Also, we observed no significant differences among cytokines levels, including IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-g. IL-4 was the only exception, which increased at 6(44.36 ± 25.17 vs 17.38 ± 3.47, P < 0.05) and 12 mo(33.41 ± 10.00 vs 18.91 ± 5.31, P < 0.05) after H. pylori infection.CONCLUSION: Long-term H. pylori infection is significantly associated with high levels of Hb A1 c in Mongolian gerbils, indicating a potential role of H. pylori infection in glucose dysregulation.展开更多

The influence of acetylsalicylic acid on reversing the decrease in antioxidants, insulin resistance, glucose homeostasis, and inflammatory cascade can help prevent diabetes complications. Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on the antioxidant enzymatic system in patients with diabetes. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was carried out in 21 patients of both sexes with Type 2 diabetes for less than five years at the time of diagnosis, without pharmacological treatment, and randomly selected. Acetylsalicylic acid (300 mg) was administered orally for three months to the study group (n = 11) compared to the placebo control group (n = 10). Before and after the intervention, anthropometric and metabolic measurements were taken, fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c, lipid profile panel, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and antioxidant capacity/activity were determined;values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Intra- and intergroup differences were tested by Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney U test, respectively;p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The acetylsalicylic acid group showed a decrease in weight (85.6 ± 19.3 vs. 84.1 ± 19.0 kg p = 0.01), cholesterol (205.9 ± 16.6 vs. 186.0 ± 23.2 mg/dL p = 0.02), and glycated hemoglobin A1c (7.8% ± 0.9% vs. 7.0% ± 0.7% p = 0.02). The placebo group exhibited reduction in weight (76.1 ± 14.9 vs. 74.9 ± 15.0 kg p = 0.04), glycated hemoglobin A1c (6.9% ± 0.6% vs. 6.2% ± 0.4% p = 0.004), and total antioxidant capacity (4.1 ± 0.5 vs. 4.8 ± 0.3 mmol/L p = 0.002). Conclusion: The administration of acetylsalicylic acid did not modify the antioxidant enzyme system.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

The disposable single-use strips were made from conductive carbon ink and modified with fructosyl amino acid oxidase. The electrodes and conducting paths were made solely with carbon ink and characterized by conductivity and cyclic voltammetry. The biosensor showed high current output, large linearity, and effectiveness for fructosyl valine as well as human blood samples. Amperometric studies were carried out using both fructosyl valine and human blood samples. With 5 uL sample volume, the biosensor showed strong amperometric response with good linearity for a wide range (0 to 8 mM). Diabetic and healthy blood samples showed sufficient difference in their amperometric responses that correlate well with their different hemoglobin A1c levels. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using this type of inexpensive single-use biosensor strips as the basis for determining hemoglobin A1c levels for diabetic patients.

文摘BACKGROUND Metabolic memory is important for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in the early stage,and in maintaining blood glucose concentrations within the normal range.The clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is currently made using fasting plasma glucose,2 h-plasma glucose(2h-PG)during a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test,and hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)level.However,the fasting plasma glucose test requires fasting,which is a barrier to screening,and reproducibility of the 2h-PG level is poor.HbA1c is affected by a shortened red blood cell lifespan.In patients with anemia and hemoglobinopathies,the measured HbA1c levels may be inaccurate.Compared with HbA1c,glycated albumin(GA)is characterized by more rapid and greater changes,and can be used to diagnose new-onset diabetes especially if urgent early treatment is required,for example in gestational diabetes.In this study,we provided cutoff values for GA and evaluated its utility as a screening and diagnostic tool for diabetes in a large high-risk group study.AIM To evaluate the utility of GA in identifying subjects with diabetes in northeast China,and to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the proposed GA cutoff in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.METHODS This cross-sectional study included 1935 subjects,with suspected diabetes or in high-risk groups,from 2014 to 2015 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University(Harbin,China).The use of GA to identify diabetes was investigated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC).The GA cutoffs were derived from different 2h-PG values with hemoglobin A1c cutoffs used as a calibration curve.RESULTS The GA cutoff for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus was 15.15%from the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.ROC analysis demonstrated that GA was an efficient marker for detecting diabetes,with an AUC of 90.3%.CONCLUSION Our study supports the use of GA as a biomarker for the diagnosis of diabetes.
文摘Background: Increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) commonly develops in early diabetes and is closely correlated with the development of diabetic nephropathy. Objective: The aim was to study the relationship between GFR, C-peptide level and other parameters at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Methods: We determined GFR, Cpeptide level, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI) SDS and loss of weight at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes in 495 children (231 females). Linear and multiple regression analysis was used to test for the associations between GFR and other parameters. Results: In the 495 patients, GFR median (interquartile range) was increased vs normal values (p = 0.0001). GFR was significantly negatively correlated with age (p < 0.001) and C-peptide level (p = 0.001), and positively correlated with weight loss (p = 0.02). The multiple regression analysis showed that age (p = 0.001) and C-peptide level (p = 0.05) were independently and negatively related to GFR. Conclusions: This study shows that, at onset of Type 1 diabetes, higher the GFR, younger the age and lower the C-peptide level are. The role of this hyperfiltration in the development of later nephropathy and the putative preventive effect of C-peptide administration need to be evaluated.
文摘Attaining and maintaining good glycemic control is a cornerstone of diabetes care. The monitoring of glycemic control is currently based on the self-monitoring of blood glucose(SMBG) and laboratory testing for hemoglobin A1 c(HbA1 c),which is a surrogate biochemical marker of the average glycemia level over the previous 2-3 mo period. Although hyperglycemia is a key biochemical feature of diabetes, both the level of and exposure to high glucose, as well as glycemic variability, contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic complications and follow different patterns in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. HbA1 c provides a valuable,standardized and evidence-based parameter that is relevant for clinical decision making, but several biological and analytical confounders limit its accuracy in reflecting true glycemia. It has become apparent in recent years that other glycated proteins such as fructosamine, glycated albumin, and the nutritional monosaccharide 1,5-anhydroglucitol, as well as integrated measures from direct glucose testing by an SMBG/continuous glucose monitoring system, may provide valuable complementary data, particularly in circumstances when HbA1 c results may be unreliable or are insufficient to assess the risk of adverse outcomes. Long-term associations of these alternative biomarkers of glycemia with the risk of complications need to be investigated in order to provide clinically relevant cut-off values and to validate their utility in diverse populations of diabetes patients.

文摘AIM: To assess the effect of Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) infection on metabolic parameters in Mongolian gerbils.METHODS: A total of 40 male, 5- to 8-wk-old, specific-pathogen-free Mongolian gerbils(30-50 g) were randomly allocated into two groups: a control group(n = 20) and an H. pylori group(n = 20). After a two-week acclimation period, the control group was administered Brucella broth and the H. pylori group was challenged intra-gastrically five times every other day with approximately 109/CFU H. pylori ATCC43504(Cag A+, Vac A+). Each group was then divided into two subgroups, which were sacrificed at either 6 or 12 mo. The control and H. pylori subgroups each contained 10 Mongolian gerbils. Body weight, abdominal circumference, and body length were measured, and body mass index(BMI) and Lee's index were calculated. Biochemical assays were used to detect serum indexes, including glucose, glycated hemoglobin(GHb), glycated hemoglobin A1c(Hb A1c), triacylglycerol, and total cholesterol, using an automatic biochemistry analyzer. Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin(IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4,IL-10, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interferon(IFN)-g, were assayed using ELISA. The expression of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1) was detected by immunohistochemistry, and islet apoptosis was measured using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay.RESULTS: At each time point, body weight, abdominal circumference, BMI, and Lee's index were increased after H. pylori infection. However, these differences were not significant. H. pylori infection significantly increased the GHb(5.45 ± 0.53 vs 4.98 ± 0.22, P < 0.05) and Hb A1c(4.91 ± 0.61 vs 4.61 ± 0.15, P < 0.05) levels at 12 mo. We observed no significant differences in serum biochemical indexes, including fasting blood glucose, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol, at 6 or 12 mo after infection. H. pylori infection significantly increased the expression of IGF-1(P < 0.05). Insulin levels from the pancreas and the apoptotic rate of islet β-cells remained unchanged. Also, we observed no significant differences among cytokines levels, including IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-g. IL-4 was the only exception, which increased at 6(44.36 ± 25.17 vs 17.38 ± 3.47, P < 0.05) and 12 mo(33.41 ± 10.00 vs 18.91 ± 5.31, P < 0.05) after H. pylori infection.CONCLUSION: Long-term H. pylori infection is significantly associated with high levels of Hb A1 c in Mongolian gerbils, indicating a potential role of H. pylori infection in glucose dysregulation.
文摘Type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications are associated with oxidative stress and the depletion of antioxidant defenses. The influence of acetylsalicylic acid on reversing the decrease in antioxidants, insulin resistance, glucose homeostasis, and inflammatory cascade can help prevent diabetes complications. Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of acetylsalicylic acid on the antioxidant enzymatic system in patients with diabetes. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was carried out in 21 patients of both sexes with Type 2 diabetes for less than five years at the time of diagnosis, without pharmacological treatment, and randomly selected. Acetylsalicylic acid (300 mg) was administered orally for three months to the study group (n = 11) compared to the placebo control group (n = 10). Before and after the intervention, anthropometric and metabolic measurements were taken, fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c, lipid profile panel, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and antioxidant capacity/activity were determined;values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. Intra- and intergroup differences were tested by Wilcoxon signed rank and Mann-Whitney U test, respectively;p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The acetylsalicylic acid group showed a decrease in weight (85.6 ± 19.3 vs. 84.1 ± 19.0 kg p = 0.01), cholesterol (205.9 ± 16.6 vs. 186.0 ± 23.2 mg/dL p = 0.02), and glycated hemoglobin A1c (7.8% ± 0.9% vs. 7.0% ± 0.7% p = 0.02). The placebo group exhibited reduction in weight (76.1 ± 14.9 vs. 74.9 ± 15.0 kg p = 0.04), glycated hemoglobin A1c (6.9% ± 0.6% vs. 6.2% ± 0.4% p = 0.004), and total antioxidant capacity (4.1 ± 0.5 vs. 4.8 ± 0.3 mmol/L p = 0.002). Conclusion: The administration of acetylsalicylic acid did not modify the antioxidant enzyme system.
文摘<div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-family:Verdana;"><strong><em>Background:</em></strong> Very limited data are available regarding the association of vitamin D with glycemic status among adults with newly detected type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Bangladesh. <strong><em>Objectives:</em></strong> To determine vitamin D status and its association with glycemic status in Bangladeshi adults with newly detected T2DM. <strong><em>Materials and Methods:</em></strong> This cross-sectional study was carried out in 102 newly detected T2DM diagnosed on the basis of the American Diabetes Association 2017 criteria (age: 42.95 ± 10.68 yrs.;m/f: 44/58) and equal number of age and sex matched controls (age: 40.43 ± 11.04 years) recruited consecutively from the Department of Endocrinology, BSMMU to measure serum vitamin D by high performance liquid chromatography method. <strong><em>Results:</em></strong> Both vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/ml) (87.3% vs. 74.5%, <em>p </em>< 0.03) and severe vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/ml) (56.2% vs. 26.3%, <em>p</em> < 0.001) were significantly higher in people with T2DM than control population.

文摘Objective: Decompensated chronic hyperglycemia often leads to late microvascular complications such as retinopathy, diabetic foot syndrome, and diabetic kidney disease. 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.
文摘目的比较扫描式葡萄糖监测(FGM)和自我血糖监测(SMBG)对近1年内临床诊断为1型糖尿病(T1DM)的儿童、青少年患者的血糖控制、残存胰岛功能和患者报告结局的影响。方法将2016年1月至2020年1月在中南大学湘雅二医院T1DM门诊就诊的133例新发T1DM的儿童、青少年患者分为2组:FGM组(n=82),SMBG组(n=51)。观察指标包括随访1年期间糖化血红蛋白(HbA_(1c)),空腹和餐后2 h血糖(FBG和2 h BG)、C肽(FCP和2 h CP),ΔCP(2 h CP-FCP),患者报告的低血糖和糖尿病自我管理及生活质量问卷等结果的变化。结果两组患者6个月时HbA1c均显著下降(均P<0.05),6~12个月期间FGM组HbA1c趋于平稳(P>0.05),12个月时SMBG组HbA1c较6个月时显著升高(P=0.001),且12个月时SMBG组HbA1c高于FGM组(P=0.001)。12个月时,FGM组的FBG与基线水平相当(P>0.05),而SMBG组的FBG较基线水平明显升高(P=0.006)。2 h BG仅在FGM组中第6个月和12个月时下降(均P<0.05)。SMBG组的FCP在12个月时显著降低(P<0.05),两组2 h CP、ΔCP均逐渐下降(均P<0.05)。FGM组在6、12个月时出现更多的低血糖事件(均P<0.05)。6个月时,FGM组T1DM自我管理量表(SMOD-A)评分有显著改善(P=0.001)。随访期间FGM组的生活质量评分稳定(P>0.05),而SMBG组的生活质量评分有下降趋势(P=0.052)。结论在新发儿童和青少年T1DM患者中,尽早应用FGM进行血糖管理有助于提升HbA1c和降低餐后血糖。此外,FGM佩戴6个月后患儿的自我管理能力有所提高。
