A systematic review of urinary bladder hypertrophy in experimental diabetes: Part 2. Comparison of animal models and functional consequences.
2018
Aims To explore whether the bladder hypertrophy consistently seen in rats upon streptozotocin injection also occurs in other animal models of type 1 or 2 diabetes and how hypertrophy is linked to functional alterations of the urinary bladder. Methods A systematic search for the key word combination "diabetes," "bladder," and "hypertrophy" was performed in PubMed; additional references were identified from reference lists of those publications. All papers were systematically extracted for relevant information. Results Models other than streptozotocin-injected rats and female animals have been poorly studied. Most animal models of diabetes exhibit less bladder hypertrophy as compared to strep…
Polymorphonuclear leukocyte membrane fluidity and cytosolic Ca2+ concentration in subjects with vascular atherosclerotic disease subdivided according…
2006
An abnormal activation state of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) plays a key role in organ injury induced by vascular atherosclerotic disease (VAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). PMN membrane fluidity and cytosolic Ca2+ content can be considered markers of PMN activation. In this research we evaluated the PMN membrane fluidity and cytosolic Ca2+ content in VAD subjects with and without type 2 DM and examined the association between these parameters and the mono- or polyvascular localization. We enrolled 155 VAD subjects, including 92 non-diabetic (group A: mean age 63.6 +/- 9.2 years) and 63 diabetic patients (group B: mean age 65.4 +/- 7.8 years). Among group A 63 patients had monovascular …
Visceral Adiposity Index: An Indicator of Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
2013
The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) has recently proven to be an indicator of adipose distribution and function that indirectly expresses cardiometabolic risk. In addition, VAI has been proposed as a useful tool for early detection of a condition of cardiometabolic risk before it develops into an overt metabolic syndrome. The application of the VAI in particular populations of patients (women with polycystic ovary syndrome, patients with acromegaly, patients with NAFLD/NASH, patients with HCV hepatitis, patients with type 2 diabetes, and general population) has produced interesting results, which have led to the hypothesis that the VAI could be considered a marker of adipose tissue dysfuncti…
Hyaluronic acid treatment outcome on the post-extraction wound healing in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes: A randomized controlled sp…
2020
Background Hyaluronic acid is widely used in the medical field. However, there is a lack of research about its effect on patients with certain risks, such as compromised wound healing commonly found in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of hyaluronic acid on the post-extraction wound healing and pain in patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes. Material and Methods The randomized controlled split-mouth study was designed, which included 30 patients with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes with a bilaterally same teeth in the lower jaw for extraction. The sockets treated with 0.8% hyaluronic acid represented the study gr…
Involvement of the visual evoked potentials in type 2 diabetes
2013
Objective :To assess the function of the optic pathway in type 2 diabetics without retinopathy (40 subjects) or with mild Non Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (40 subjects). Methods: VEPs , elicited by means of pattern-reversal stimulation, were studied in a group of 80 non-insulin-dependent diabetics . Results: In subjects suffering from diabetes for less than 10 years, with mild retinopathy or without retinopathy, the amplitude N75-P100 decreased, and this is statistically significant with stimulation at 15’. As the time from disease onset increases, VEP latency (P100) shows a greater increase with the use of small checks (15’), than with large checks (30’) and this becomes statisticall…
N-3 fatty acids modulate antioxidant status in diabetic rats and their macrosomic offspring.
2006
We investigated the role of dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) in the modulation of total antioxidant status in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and their macrosomic offspring. Female wistar rats, fed on control diet or n-3 PUFA diet, were rendered diabetic by administration of five mild doses of STZ on day 5 and were killed on days 12 and 21 of gestation. The macrosomic (MAC) pups were killed at the age of 60 and 90 days. Lipid peroxidation was measured as the concentrations of plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and the total antioxidant status was determined by measuring (i) plasma oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), (ii) plasma vitami…
Mediterranean diet and risk of heart failure: results from the PREDIMED randomized controlled trial
2017
Aims The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) on the incidence of heart failure (HF), a pre-specified secondary outcome in the PREDIMED (PREvencion con DIeta MEDiterranea) primary nutrition-intervention prevention trial. Methods and results Participants at high risk of cardiovascular disease were randomly assigned to one of three diets: MedDiet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO), MedDiet supplemented with nuts, or a low-fat control diet. Incident HF was ascertained by a Committee for Adjudication of events blinded to group allocation. Among 7403 participants without prevalent HF followed for a median of 4.8 years, we observed 29 new H…
Use of hospital and amubutory data in assessment of screnning, follow-up and complications of diabetes mellitus
2017
Diabetes is a priority health target worldwide. Access to conclusive data is equally a priority in order to establish clear objectives and to implement coordinated action. Medico-administrative databases are being used more and more frequently for this purpose. We set out to illustrate and assess the interest of using a French healthcare consumption database to evaluate screening, surveillance and the risk of acute or chronic complications of diabetes in certain at-risk populations. We concluded that early screening for type-2 diabetes in women with a history of gestational diabetes was inadequate. Although a slight improvement occurred following the recommendations published in 2010, one w…
Les histones désacétylases de type 2 (HD2) : caractérisation fonctionnelle dans l'immunité des plantes
2016
Les histones désacétylases (HDAC) sont des enzymes qui catalysent les réactions de désacétylation des protéines, une modification post-traductionnelle caractérisée par le retrait d’un groupement acétyle des chaînes latérales des résidus de lysine des protéines. Chez les plantes, il existe trois familles de HDAC. Les deux premières – les familles RDP3/HDA1 et SIR2 – sont communes à tous les eucaryotes, alors que la troisième – la famille des HD2 – est spécifique des plantes. Chez le tabac, des HD2 ont été identifiées comme des régulateurs négatifs de la réponse hypersensible induite par la cryptogéine, un éliciteur protéique. La réponse hypersensible est une réponse de défense caractérisée p…
Type 2 Diabetes as a Factor Modifying the Course and Prognosis of Acute Pancreatitis
2022
Acute pancreatitis (AP) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are diseases with steadily increasing incidence. On the one hand, the presence of diabetes increases the risk of AP development; on the other hand, there is a question whether the presence of T2D adversely affects the course and prognosis of AP. In this study we attempted to demonstrate the adverse effect of T2D on the course and prognosis of AP. Materials and methods:The retrospective study analyzed the data of 333 patients with the diagnosis of AP in the Internal Medicine Department of the University Hospital in Opole between 2015 and 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: with T2D and without T2D. The comparative analysis includ…
