Methods: The electronic medical record system was utilized to search for a total of 16 patients with type 2 diabetes complicated by NAFLD who were hospitalized at the First Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University from October 2022 to April 2023 and treated with GLP-1RA for the first time. The clinical indices were compared before and after 12 weeks of treatment with GLP-1RA. Results: The liver-spleen CT ratio (L/S), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in all patients treated with GLP-1RA after 12 weeks were significantly different (P 0.05). The patients were categorized into two groups based on the types of GLP-1RAs. The changes in L/S, TC, TG, and LDL-C in the long-acting group after treatment were statistically significant (P Conclusions: GLP-1RAs can improve liver function, regulate lipid metabolism, and reduce the severity of fatty liver in patients with T2DM complicated by NAFLD, which demonstrates the importance of clinical applications.展开更多

Increased catecholamine levels have been proposed to play a central role in the pathogenesis of the disease, although the specific pathophysiology of this condition remains elusive at the present moment. In recent times, there have been reports of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) following medical interventions such as invasive or surgical procedures or specific medical regimens. In the current report, we present a patient with multiple recurrences of TC triggered by the same medical therapeutic intervention; in our particular case, repetitive exposure to inhaled beta-2-adrenoceptor agonist.展开更多

文摘Both GLP-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RA)and SGLT-2 inhibitors(SGLT-2I)are newer classes of anti-diabetic agents that lower HbA1c moderately and decrease body weight and systolic blood pressure(SBP)modestly.Combination therapy with GLP-1RA plus SGLT-2I have shown a greater reduction in HbA1c,body weight,and SBP compared to either agent alone without any significant increase in hypoglycemia or other side effects.Since several agents from each class of these drugs have shown an improvement in cardiovascular(CV)and renal outcomes in their respective cardiovascular outcome trials(CVOT),combination therapy is theoretically expected to have additional CV and renal benefits.In this comprehensive opinion review,we found HbA1c lowering with GLP-1RA plus SGLT-2I to be less than additive compared to the sum of HbA1c lowering with either agent alone,although body weight lowering was nearly additive and the SBP lowering was more than additive.Our additional meta-analysis of CV outcomes with GLP1RA plus SGLT-2I combination therapy from the pooled data of five CVOT found a similar reduction in three-point major adverse cardiovascular events compared to GLP-1RA or SGLT-2I alone,against placebo.Interestingly,a greater benefit in reduction of heart failure hospitalization with GLP-1RA plus SGLT-2I combination therapy was noted in the pooled meta-analysis of two randomized controlled trials.Future adequately powered trials can confirm whether additional CV or renal benefit is truly exerted by GLP-1RA plus SGLT-2I combination therapy.
文摘BACKGROUND The sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors(SGLT-2i)and glucagon-like-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RA)are antidiabetic agents effective both in hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)reduction(with a low risk of hypoglycemia)and cardiovascular event prevention.In patients with type 2 diabetes,the add-on value of combination therapy of GLP-1RA and an SGLT-2i seems promising.AIM To investigate whether the efficacy of GLP-1RA and SGLT-2i combination observed in randomized controlled trials translates into therapeutic benefits in the Croatian population during routine clinical practice and follow-up.METHODS We included 200 type 2 diabetes patients with poor glycemic control and analyzed the effects of treatment intensification with(1)GLP-1RA on top of SGLT-2i,(2)SGLT-2i on top of GLP-1RA compared to(3)simultaneous addition of both agents.The primary study endpoint was the proportion of participants with HbA1c<7.0%and/or 5%bodyweight reduction.Secondary outcomes included changes in fasting plasma glucose(FPG),prandial plasma glucose,lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR),and cardiovascular(CV)incidents assessment over a follow-up period of 12 mo.RESULTS The majority of patients were over 65-years-old,had diabetes duration for more than 10 years.The initial body mass index was 39.41±5.49 kg/m2 and HbA1c 8.32±1.26%.Around half of the patients in all three groups achieved target HbA1c below 7%.A more pronounced decrease in the HbA1c seen with simultaneous SGLT-2i and GLP-1RA therapy was a result of higher baseline HbA1c and not the effect of initiating combination therapy.The number of patients achieving FPG below 7.0 mmol/L was significantly higher in the SGLT-2i group(P=0.021),and 5%weight loss was dominantly achieved in the simultaneous therapy group(P=0.044).A composite outcome(reduction of HbA1c below 7%(53 mmol/mol)with 5%weight loss)was achieved in 32.3%of total patients included in the study.Only 18.2%of patients attained composite outcome defined as HbA1c below 7%(53 mmol/mol)with 5%weight loss and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol<2.5 mmol/L.There were no significant differences between treatment groups.No differences were observed regarding CV incidents or eGFR according to treatment group over a follow-up period.CONCLUSION Combination therapy with GLP-1RA and SGLT-2i is effective in terms of metabolic control,although it remains to be determined whether simultaneous or sequential intensification is better.

文摘PPARγis a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR)family protein and is a target for type 2 diabetes(T2D).In this paper,we have performed a molecular docking analysis between ligand molecules(CID9816265,CID11608015,CID20251380,CID20251343,CID20556263,CID624491,CID42609928,and CID86287562)and PPARγto determine the ligand specificity.It also helps to understand the ligand-binding domain(LBD)activity of PPARγduring the binding of the ligand.Further,a molecular dynamics simulation study was performed to determine the ligand biding stability in the PPARγLBD.Its ligand specificity informed us about the potentiality of selecting a partial agonist.The study also shows the binding conformation of Ceramicine B having hydrogen bonding affinity with a tricyclic polar head and stabilized theβ-sheet region.On the other hand,the tricyclic polar head of nimbolide also formed hydrogen bonding(Ser342),but it shows a lesser degree of stabilization in theβ-sheet region.It shows the binding conformation of partial agonist(PPARγ)in the Pocket-II of PPARγLBD,which has a significant role in stabilizing theβ-sheet region.It might help to regulate ERK/Cdk5 mediated phosphorylation of Ser245.The study helps us understand the valid pose of a set of ligands confirmation and target protein conformation using docking and molecular dynamics study.This in silico study will also help to initiate a drug discovery process of T2D.
