AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to analyze levels of proinflammatory cytokines in diabetic arthropathy patients and their potential impact on this condition.
  • 118 patients were assessed, categorized by diabetes type and arthropathy severity, with serum levels of specific cytokines (IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6) measured via immunoassay.
  • Results showed significantly elevated TNF-α and IL-6 levels in diabetic arthropathy patients, with a direct relationship between cytokine levels and joint damage severity, indicating these cytokines as possible markers for arthropathy progression in diabetes.

Article Abstract

Objective: The aim: Of our work was to study the level of proinflammatory cytokines in patients with diabetic arthropathy and to investigate their possible effect on the development of this complication.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 118 patients were examined, which were divided into groups by type of diabetes, the presence and severity of diabetic arthropathy. The content of IL-1, TNF-α, IL-6 and receptors to S IL-6-R in serum was determined by immunoassay.

Results: Results: In patients with diabetic arthropathy, levels of TNF-α (with type 1 diabetes 44.5%, type 2 diabetes 42.9%) and IL-6 (with type 1 diabetes 52.1%, with diabetes 2 types by 64.4%) significantly increased. There is a direct correlation between the severity of joint damage and the level of TNF-α and IL-6. For IL -1, receptors for S IL-6-R have not been detected.

Conclusion: Conclusions: The chances of detecting arthropathy with type 1 diabetes with increasing TNF levels increase by 1.7 times, with an increase in IL-6 by 1.5 times. For type 2 diabetes, it is 1.8 and 1.3 times, respectively. Thus, TNF-α and IL-6 may be markers of the presence and progression of arthropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Potential trend of regenerative treatment for type I diabetes has been introduced for more than a decade. However, the technologies regarding insulin-producing cell (IPC) production and transplantation are still being developed. Here, we propose the potential IPC production protocol employing mouse gingival fibroblast-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (mGF-iPSCs) as a resource and the pre-clinical approved subcutaneous IPC transplantation platform for further clinical confirmation study.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a growing global health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia. To the best of our knowledge, the impact of diabetes knowledge on glycemic control in Ethiopia has not been documented. This study assessed diabetes knowledge and its relationship with glycemic control among Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients in Debre Berhan, Ethiopia.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a morbid complication of Type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM), and its occurrence at diagnosis has rarely been studied in Ethiopia, despite the many cases seen in the pediatric population.

Objective: The aim of this study was to know the prevalence of DKA among patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and identify avoidable risk factors.

Method: This institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from December 1, 2018 to December1, 2022.

Background: We aimed to characterize factors associated with the under-studied complication of cognitive decline in aging people with long-duration type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: Joslin "Medalists" (n = 222; T1D ≥ 50 years) underwent cognitive testing. Medalists (n = 52) and age-matched non-diabetic controls (n = 20) underwent neuro- and retinal imaging.

Background: People with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) commonly report a higher fatigue intensity than the general population. However, effective fatigue management is lacking because little is known about other fatigue characteristics, including timing, distress, and quality, as well as the potential fatigue subtypes experienced in people with T2DM.

Objective: To describe fatigue intensity, timing, distress, and quality, and identify fatigue subtypes in people with T2DM.
