Background: Prebeta1-HDL is a minor HDL subfraction that is an initial acceptor of cellular free cholesterol. Prebeta1-HDL is elevated in hypertriglyceridemia, which is exaggerated with postprandial hyperglycemia. We investigated whether the prebeta1-HDL concentration changes postprandially in type 2 diabetic patients and blood glucose (BG) control reduces this change.
Methods: We examined 9 healthy controls and 20 diabetic patients with poor BG control. Seven blood samples (30 min before and 2 h after each meal, and at midnight) were obtained daily in the poor (poor-GC: n=20) and improved (imp-GC: n=11) glycemic control phases of diabetic patients after intensive insulin therapy and a low-calorie diet.
Results: The prebeta1-HDL concentration did not change postprandially in the controls. However, the fasting prebeta1-HDL concentration in the poor-GC phase was 28.3% higher than in the controls (25.4+/-6.8 vs 19.8+/-6.9 mg/l ApoAI, p<0.05) and decreased markedly after breakfast (20.9+/-7.7 mg/l ApoAI, p<0.01). In the imp-GC phase, the prebeta1-HDL concentration showed no morning surge, as in the controls.
Conclusions: Type 2 diabetic patients in the poor-GC phase have high prebeta1-HDL levels in the morning, followed by a gradual reduction until midnight. BG control diminishes this postprandial change. Glucose metabolism may be involved in modulating reverse cholesterol transport in type 2 diabetic patients.

Background: Adolescent diabetes is one of the major public health problems worldwide. This study aims to estimate the burden of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adolescents from 1990 to 2021, and to predict diabetes prevalence through 2030.
Methods: We extracted epidemiologic data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) on T1DM and T2DM among adolescents aged 10-24 years in 204 countries and territories worldwide.

Background: Increased glucagon levels are now recognized as a pathophysiological adaptation to counteract overnutrition in type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to elucidate the role of glucagon in peripheral nerve function in patients with T2D with different body mass indices (BMIs).
Methods: We consecutively enrolled 174 individuals with T2D and obesity (T2D/OB, BMI ≥ 28 kg/m), and 480 individuals with T2D and nonobesity (T2D/non-OB, BMI < 28 kg/m), all of whom underwent oral glucose tolerance tests to determine the area under the curve for glucagon (AUC).

Studies have shown that the prognosis of dental implant treatment in patients with diabetes is not as good as that in the non-diabetes population. The nerve plays a crucial role in bone metabolism, but the role and the mechanism of peripheral nerves in regulating peri-implant osteogenesis under Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) situation remains unclear. In this study, it was shown that high glucose-stimulated Schwann cells (SCs) inhibited peri-implant osteogenesis via their exosomes.

Background: Anthracycline usage has been linked to cardiovascular adverse events (CAEs), which is unpredictable. It is critical to identify the characteristics of vulnerable populations and risk factors in order to reduce the occurrence of CAEs.
Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to assess the correlation between various risk factors and CAEs induced by anthracyclines.

Background: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) can cause life-threatening diseases in immunosuppressed patients. Some of the patients with connective tissue disease develop CMV infection, and approximately half of this group has been reported to have received pulsed-methylprednisolone (p-MPSL) therapy. This study aimed to identify predictors of the onset of CMV infection in patients receiving p-MPSL therapy for connective tissue disease.
