Abstract Background Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) is an important inflammatory marker in diabetic nephropathy. Many studies assessed the association between MMP-9 gene polymorphism and different microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus, though the results were inconclusive and need further exploration. Our study aimed to assess the association between MMP-9 -1562C/T gene polymorphism and diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results Taking CC genotype of rs3918242 (MMP-9-1562C/T SNP) as the reference genotype and C as the reference allele, TT genotype, T allele showed significantly lower frequency in diabetic nephropathy group than without nephropathy (2.9% versus 20%, 20% versus 35.7% respectively), with the possible significant protective effect against diabetic nephropathy development (OR = 0.269, 0.450 respectively); it was considered as an independent predictor for diabetic nephropathy occurrence. Conclusions This study suggested that T allele of MMP-9 -1562C/T single nucleotide polymorphism had a protective role against diabetic nephropathy development and also had a role for early prediction of patients susceptible to this complication, so it helps in prevention and management of those patients.

Relevance. The problem of treatment and prevention of microvascular complications against the background of hyperglycemia is much broader than adherence to an appropriate diet. It is necessary to take into account both the behavioral characteristics of a person and the genetically determined mechanisms of metabolic regulation. Objective to study the behavioral and genetically determined differences in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by retinopathy with different PPARG-dependent phenotype. Materials and methods. The study included 101 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), who, according to the results of an ophthalmological examination, revealed various stages of diabetic retinopathy (DR) according to the ETDRS scale. The control group (CG) included 40 people without diabetes, comparable to patients by gender, age, and body mass index. Gene polymorphism was determined using real-time PCR on an automatic amplifier Gene Amp® PCR System 7500, the fatty acid spectrum (FA) was determined using gas-liquid chromatography, and behavioral and nutritional habits were analyze according to the results of a questionnaire. Results. In patients with type 2 diabetes, the most effective way to correct hyperglycemia at all stages of development of complications was the use of insulin in tablet forms. Carriers of the PPARG gene polymorphism had greater stability in achieving the target blood glucose level. The carriers of the wild genotype Pro12Pro did not differ from the CG in the rationality of nutrition and lifestyle. Carriers of the 12Ala allele were characterized by a neglect of food recommendations at the beginning of the disease, but with the progression of the degree of microvascular complications, the awareness of the need for proper nutrition doubled (P <0.05). Their lifestyle was initially less rational than that of carriers of the wild genotype Pro12Pro, but the course of T2DM and the development of complications in the form of DR by 2–3 times (P <0.05) reduced the desire for a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract Introduction Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease associated with a rise in the level of blood glucose. Individuals with diabetes mellitus are more likely to develop hearing loss, tinnitus, and dizziness due to macro- and microvascular complications. The extent to which auditory and vestibular functions are impaired in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus is still under debate. Objective To systematically review studies focusing on auditory and vestibular functions in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus. Data Synthesis A search was conducted in the PubMed, MedlinePlus, Ingenta Connect and Google Scholar databases for articles published until June 2019. A total of 15,980 articles were primarily retrieved, 33 of which were shortlisted based on the inclusion criteria set by the investigators for the systematic review. Out of 33 full-length articles, 26 evaluated the functioning of the auditory system, while 7 evaluated the functioning of the vestibular system. Most studies related to auditory functioning reported a significant effect of type-2 diabetes mellitus on the peripheral auditory system, whereas studies on vestibular functioning reported no significant effect of diabetes mellitus on the functioning of the peripheral vestibular end-organ. Conclusion Overall, the results of various audiological and peripheral vestibular tests reveal distinctive peripheral and/or central auditory and vestibular end-organ impairments in individuals with type-2 diabetes mellitus.
