Microvascular dysfunction is an important component of the pathologic processes that occur in diabetic foot disease. The endothelial abnormalities observed in patients with diabetes mellitus are poorly understood, and evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction could be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic macroangiopathy and microangiopathy. With the advent of insulin replacement in the early 1900s and increased efforts toward metabolic control of diabetes, long-term complications of this disease have become apparent. These late-term complications are primarily disorders of the vascular system. This article reviews the process of microvascular dysfunction and how it may relate to the pathogenesis of diabetic foot problems. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 96(3): 245–252, 2006)

Background. It is well known that intramammary arterial calcifications diagnosed by mammography as a part of generalized diabetic macroangiopathy may be an indirect sign of diabetes mellitus. Hence, the aim of this study was to determine the incidence of intramammary arterial calcifications, the patient?s age when the calcifications occur, as well as to observe the influence of diabetic polineuropathy, type, and the duration of diabetes on the onset of calcifications, in comparison with nondiabetic women. Methods. Mammographic findings of 113 diabetic female patients (21 with type 1 diabetes and 92 with type 2), as well as of 208 nondiabetic women (the control group) were analyzed in the prospective study. The data about the type of diabetes, its duration, and polineuropathy were obtained using the questionnaire. Statistical differences were determined by Mann-Whitney test. Results. Intramammary arterial calcifications were identified in 33.3% of the women with type 1 diabetes, in 40.2% with type 2, and in 8.2% of the women from the control group, respectively. The differences comparing the women with type 1, as well as type 2 diabetes and the controls were statistically significant (p=0.0001). Women with intramammary arterial calcifications and type 1 diabetes were younger comparing to the control group (median age 52 years, comparing to 67 years of age, p=0.001), while there was no statistically significant difference in age between the women with calcifications and type 2 diabetes (61 years of age) in relation to the control group (p=0.176). The incidence of polineuropathy in diabetic women was higher in the group with intramammary arterial calcifications (52.3%) in comparison to the group without calcifications (26.1%), (p=0.005). The association between intramammary arterial calcifications and the duration of diabetes was not found. Conclusion. The obtained results supported the theory that intramammary arterial calcifications, detected by mammography could serve as markers of co-existing diabetes mellitus and therefore should be specified in radiologic report in case of their early development.

The review elucidates the role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiovascularcomplications. It was analyzed the main reasons for excessive production of reactive oxygen speciesin the conditions of hyperglycemia and the basic mechanisms of their damaging effect on the morphological and functional state of the myocardium and endothelium. It was considered theperspective of natural antioxidants, such as flavonoids, for the prevention and treatment of diabeticmacroangiopathy. It was made a retrospective analysis of own researches devoted to the quercetin effect on the main factors of cardiometabolic risk at the insulin resistance syndrome

Objective: analyze the effectiveness of the angiosomal oriented endovascular revascularization method in the complex treatment of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS). Materials and methods. One of the most serious complications of diabetes mellitus is damage to the vessels of the lower extremities. In diabetic macroangiopathy, an extended lesion of medium-sized arteries occurs, which, coupled with an atherosclerotic lesion, often leads to the formation of arterial stenosis and occlusion. The leading method for correcting the patency of the great vessels today is endovascular balloon angioplasty. The study examined the feasibility of selective angiosomal revascularization of the lower extremities. The advantages of angiosomaly-oriented endovascular revascularization are a reduction in the duration of the intervention, a decrease in the volume of the injected contrast drug, and targeted restoration of blood flow in the arteries that feed the affected segment of the limb. The study included 49 patients with a neuroischemic form of DFS with hemodynamically significant stenosis and occlusion of the lower extremities arteries. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Patients of both groups underwent complex conservative treatment and performed operations on the lower extremities (from surgical debridement to below the knee amputation). Patients of the first group underwent angiosomaly oriented revascularization of the lower extremities. Patients from the second group underwent traditional endovascular revascularization. Results. After angiosomaly oriented revascularization, a complete restoration of the initial diameter of the vessel was achieved in 80.0 % of cases, the absence of residual stenosis – in 82.5 %, the absence of intimal dissection – in 95.0 % of cases. It was possible to achieve laminar blood flow in 90.0 % of cases. A reduction in the revascularization procedure by an average of 30 minutes and a decrease in the consumption of contrasting pharmaceuticals by an average of 100.0 ml are shown. Conclusion. When evaluating the results of complex treatment of patients after angiosomaly oriented revascularization, a decrease in the average hospital stay (11 and 13 days, respectively), a decrease in the average healing time of a wound defect by 1.25 times, a decrease in the average duration of ulcerative epithelization (9 and 13 days, respectively) and a decrease in the volume of surgical intervention and the number of high amputations during the year after angioplasty compared with patients who underwent endovascular revascularization according to the traditional method.
