Soluble P-Selectin as an Indicator of Cutaneous Microangiopathy in Uncomplicated Young Patients with Type 1 Diabetes.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between cutaneous microcirculation reactivity, retinal circulation, macrocirculation function, and specific adhesion molecules in young patients with uncomplicated type 1 diabetes. Fifty-five patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), aged 8 to 18 years, were divided into subgroups based on skin microcirculation reactivity. The cutaneous microcirculatory vessels were considered reactive if post-test PORH coverage increased compared to pre-test coverage.

Patients with a Wide Range of Disorders Related to Gene Variants: Novel Mutations and Genotype-Phenotype Correlations.

-spectrum disorders are caused by a mutation in the gene. The term includes a wide range of rare disorders, from the most severe Wolfram syndrome with autosomal recessive inheritance to milder clinical manifestations with a single causative variant in the gene, such as Wolfram-like syndrome, low-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (LFSNHL), isolated diabetes mellitus (DM), nonsyndromic optic atrophy (OA), and isolated congenital cataracts. The aim of this study was to evaluate genotype-phenotype correlations in Polish patients with -spectrum disorders.

Guidelines of the Polish Society of Pediatric Endocrinology and Diabetology and Pediatric Section of Diabetes Poland on insulin therapy using hybrid closed-loop systems in children and adolescents with diabetes in Poland.

Currently, hybrid closed loop (HCL) systems represent the most advantageous therapeutic option for people with diabetes requiring intensive insulin therapy. They make it possible to achieve optimal metabolic control of the disease in any age group while improving the quality of life of children and adolescents with diabetes and their families. Therefore, we present recommendations for the use of HCL systems in children and adolescents focusing on systems currently available in Poland.

The Impact of Thyroiditis on the Immune Profile in Young Patients with Uncomplicated Type 1 Diabetes.

Autoimmune thyroid disease (AIT) is the most frequently linked autoimmune condition to type 1 diabetes (T1D). The analysis of immune profiles could provide valuable insights into the study of these diseases. This knowledge could play a crucial role in understanding the relationship between immune profiles and microcirculation structures and functions.

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2)-an underappreciated partaker in cancer and metastasis.

The coagulation system is known to play an important role in cancer development and metastasis, but the precise mechanisms by which it does so remain incompletely understood. With this in mind, we provide an updated overview of the effects of TFPI-2, a protease inhibitor, on cancer development and metastasis. TFPI-2 interacts with the thrombin cascade and also employs other mechanisms to suppress cancer growth and dissemination, which include extracellular matrix stabilization, promotion of caspase-mediated cell apoptosis, inhibition of angiogenesis and transduction of intracellular signals.
