Objective: To characterize blood glucose fluctuation during hemodialysis in patients with end stage diabetic nephropathy (ESDN) by a continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS), and aim to improve blood glucose control in this patient population.

Methods: Forty-six patients with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), receiving hemodialysis, were recruited in this study. Thirty-six patients had end stage diabetic nephropathy (ESDN group), the other ten patients had end stage renal disease without diabetes (ESRD group). A continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) was employed to monitor glycemic fluctuation for 72 hours. Blood samples were collected and analyzed.

Results: Mean, standard deviation (SD), maximum, and mean amplitude glycemic excursion (MAGE) of blood glucose and the ratio of blood glucose readings that was greater than 13.9 mmol/L of ESDN group, were significantly greater than those of ESRD group (p<0.01 for all) during 72 hours of observation. The mean blood glucose was significantly lower, while SD and MAGE were significantly higher in ESDN group on hemodialysis day than on days off hemodialysis (p<0.05), while these were not been observed in ESRD group. Though mean, SD, and MAGE of blood glucose during hemodialysis were significantly lower than those of peri-hemodialysis in both groups (p<0.01 or p<0.05, respectively), they were significantly higher in ESDN group than that in ESRD group (p<0.05). The mean blood glucose value calculated from HbA1c did not reflect the actual mean blood glucose measured by CGM in both groups, and gave an inaccurate impression of a significantly lower mean glucose.

Conclusions: ESDN patients had larger glycemic fluctuations as compared with ESRD patients. Hemodialysis caused reduction in mean, SD, and MAGE, which in turn caused bigger glycemic fluctuations on hemodialysis day. The HbA1c in ESDN patients gave an inaccurate value, which did not truly reflect blood glucose status for a prolonged period.

Schwannomas are tumors that originate from the glial cells of the nervous system and can occur on myelinated nerve fibers throughout the body, especially in the craniofacial region. However, pancreatic schwannomas are extremely rare. We report a case of a pancreatic schwannoma that was difficult to differentiate from other pancreatic tumors preoperatively.

Introduction: The identification of type 1 diabetes at an early presymptomatic stage has clinical benefits. These include a reduced risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the clinical manifestation of the disease and a significant reduction in clinical symptoms. The European action for the Diagnosis of Early Non-clinical Type 1 diabetes For disease Interception (EDENT1FI) represents a pioneering effort to advance early detection of type 1 diabetes through public health screening.

Piscirickettsiosis causes the highest mortality in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) farming, and prophylactic treatment has not provided complete protection to date. In this study, we analyzed the immune and metabolic responses of Atlantic salmon inoculated with live and inactivated Piscirickettsia salmonis, monitoring plasma markers related to immune and stress responses. The fish were inoculated with inactivated P.

TRADD-mediated pyroptosis contributes to diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Acta Pharmacol Sin

January 2025

Department of Pharmacology, School of Pharmacy, Nantong University, Nantong, 226001, China.

Regulated cell death like pyroptosis is one vital cause of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), which eventually leads to heart failure. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated death domain protein (TRADD) is an adapter protein with multiple functions that participates in the pathophysiological progress of different cardiovascular disorders via regulating regulated cell death. Studies have shown that TRADD combines with receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) and facilitates its activation, thereby mediating TNF-induced necroptosis.
