Abstract Background Serum wnt1-induced signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP1) levels are increased with obesity, which is a common complication associated with lower extremity atherosclerotic disease (LEAD). However, to date, the relationship between elevated WISP1 levels and the incidence of lower extremity atherosclerotic disease (LEAD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unclear. Methods 174 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in our study. Patients were divided into two groups, LEAD group (n=100) and control group (n=74). Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure and some biochemical parameters were obtained. Body composition was detected by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Levels of serum insulin were determined by radioimmunoassay. Serum WISP1 and interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results It was shown that serum WISP1 levels in diabetic patients with LEAD were higher than those without LEAD (P<0.001). Serum WISP1 levels were positively related with waist circumference (r=0.237, P=0.003), waist-hip ratio (r=0.22, P=0.006), visceral fat area (r=0.354, P<0.001), serum creatinine (r=0.192, P=0.012), interleukin 6 (r=0.182, P=0.032), c-reactive protein (r=0.681, P<0.001), triglycerides (r=0.119, P<0.001), fasting glucose (r=0.196, P=0.011), glycated hemoglobin (r=0.284, P<0.001), and HOMA-IR (r=0.285, P<0.026). Compared with the lowest tertile, the odds ratio of the middle tertile for LEAD incidence was 3.27 (95% CI, 1.24–8.64) and 4.46 (95% CI, 1.62–12.29) for the highest tertile after adjusting confounding factors. Conclusion The results suggest that increased serum WISP1 levels independently contribute to the incidence of LEAD in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM.

Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is very common worldwide and genetically heterogeneous. One of the microvascular complications is diabetic nephropathy (DN). In recent years, T2DM has been described as a disease caused by chronic inflammation. The imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines causes inflammation. One of the candidate genes associated with T2DM and DN is the Interleukin-6 (IL-6) gene, one of the pro-inflammatory cytokines. This study was conducted to determine the polymorphism frequencies of the IL-6 gene rs1800796 and investigate the role of this polymorphism in the development of T2DM and DN. Genomic DNA that was obtained from 261 people was used in the study. IL-6 gene rs1800796 polymorphism was determined using the PCR, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and electrophoresis. IL-6 gene PCR products were discontinued by treatment with restriction enzyme BsrBI and were analyzed in 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. IL-6 (Bioassay technology laboratory, Shangai, China) level was examined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a commercial kit. The results were statistically analyzed. The frequencies of rs1800796 genotypes were found to be GG 70.7%, GC 28.5%, CC 0.8% in the control group and GG 87.8%, GC 9.9 %, CC 2.3% in T2DM patients. Although there was a statistically significant difference between the control group and the T2DM patient group in genotype and allele frequencies, there was no significant difference in DN. The G allele frequency was also significantly higher in the T2DM group (p=0.000). IL-6 levels were determinated increased in patients with Type-2 diabetes compared to the control group. However; there was no significant statistically. We can say that IL-6 rs1800796 polymorphism is related to T2DM and G allele can be used as a useful genetic marker; this polymorphism is not related to DN, though.

INTERLEUKIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS WITH ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION COMBINED WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUSShelest B.O.The problem of combined course of hypertension of diabetes mellitus type 2 and obesity is becoming more common. This variant of comorbidity crucially increases the risk of cardiovascular complications. Inflammation is considered as an important link between the progression of hypertension and the development of adverse events. This study is devoted to the question of the relationship between the pro-inflammatory marker interleukin-6 and the increased blood pressure in patients with concomitant diabetes and obesity. The treatment of such patients with combined pathology remains the actual and difficult issue of medical practice. The article analyses the dynamics of interleukin-6 in the process of treatment with a fixed triple antihypertensive combination. Key words: hypertension, interleukin-6, type 2 diabetes mellitus, obesity. РІВНІ ІНТЕРЛЕЙКІНІВ У ХВОРИХ НА ГІПЕРТОНІЧНУ ХВОРОБУ У ПОЄДНАННІ З ЦУКРОВИМ ДІАБЕТОМ 2 ТИПУ Шелест Б.О.Все більшого поширення набуває проблема поєднаного перебігу гіпертензії цукрового діабету 2 типу та ожиріння.

Background: Reaven originally described the clustering of insulin resistance/hyperinsulinaemia, obesity (particularly visceral), altered cytokine levels, glucose intolerance, hypertriglyceridaemia and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Subsequently, a potentially highly atherogenic small, dense low-density lipoprotein was also reported. We have studied the effect of bariatric surgery on this and other risk factors for atherosclerosis. Methods: Forty patients (20 with type 2 diabetes mellitus) undergoing bariatric surgery were studied before and 1 year after bariatric surgery. Results: Twelve months after bariatric surgery, median body mass index had decreased from 49.5 to 36.5 kg/m2, fasting insulin from 21.3 to 7.8 mU/L and insulin resistance (homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance) from 5.9 to 1.8 (all p < 0.001). Thirteen out of 20 patients had remission from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Highly sensitive C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, fasting triglycerides ( p < 0.001) and small, dense low-density lipoprotein ( p < 0.001) decreased, while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased ( p < 0.001) significantly, irrespective of having type 2 diabetes mellitus and/or being treated with statin therapy before surgery. Conclusion: The association between marked weight loss and change in insulin resistance and hyperinsulinaemia with the change in small, dense low-density lipoprotein and interleukin-6 warrants further investigation. Bariatric surgery provides a model for investigating the mechanisms linking insulin resistance/hyperinsulinaemia to atherosclerosis.
