Background. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a complex polygenic disorder characterized by impaired insulin resistance, insulin secretion, and dysregulation of lipid and protein metabolism with environmental and genetic factors. ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) gene polymorphisms are reported as the one of the genetic risk factors for T2DM in various populations with conflicting results. This study was conducted based on PCR-HRM to determine the frequency of ABCA1 gene by rs2230806 (R219K), rs1800977 (C69T), and rs9282541 (R230C) polymorphisms Malaysian subjects.Methods. A total of 164 T2DM and 165 controls were recruited and their genotypes for ABCA1 gene polymorphisms were determined based on the real time high resolution melting analysis.Results. There was a significant difference between the subjects in terms of age, BMI, FPG, HbA1c, HDL, LDL, and TGP<0.05. There was a significant association between HOM of R219KP=0.005, among Malaysian subjects; moreover, allele frequency revealed the significant difference in A allele of R219KP=0.003. But, there was no significant difference in genotypic and allelic frequencies of C69T and R230C polymorphism.Conclusion. R219K polymorphism of ABCA1 gene can be considered as a genetic risk factor for T2DM subjects among Malaysians.

Objective: To investigate the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? (peroxisome) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Proliferators-activated receptors-?, PPARs-? (?) gene polymorphisms about serum lipofuscin and leptin. Methods: One hundred and twenty patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to our hospital from June 2015 to June 2018 were selected. The patients were divided into an obese group and a non-obese group of 60 patients each according to their waist circumference. A polymerase chain reaction-length polymorphism protocol was implemented in all patients to explore the PPAR-? gene polymorphism, and blood glucose, lipid, adiponectin and leptin levels were measured in both groups. Results: PPAR-? gene polymorphisms in type 2 diabetic patients were dominated by wild-type homozygous; The levels of total cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL cholesterol in the obese group were significantly higher than those in the non-obese group, while the levels of HDL cholesterol were lower than those in the non-obese group. There is significant difference in comparison between groups (P<0.05) Those carrying the A allele had a significant lipid disorder profile and decreased adiponectin levels. Conclusions: PPAR-? gene polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes are not significantly associated with adiponectin and leptin, and only in the obese group, the patients with the Allele A showed significant dyslipidemia and a declining trend of adiponectin levels.

AbstractBackground:Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major microvascular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Several lines of evidence implicate the endothelin (ET) system in the pathophysiology of DN. The aim of the present study was to analyze if genetic polymorphisms of the ET-1 (EDN1) gene affect susceptibility to DN in Caucasians with T2DM.Materials and methods:The study population consisted of 651 Caucasian subjects with T2DM of more than 10 years’ duration: 276 patients with DN (cases) and 375 patients without evidence of DN (controls). Polymorphisms in ET-1 (EDN1) gene, rs5370, rs1476046, and rs3087459, were studied.Results:Genotype distributions of the studied polymorphisms showed no significant difference between cases and controls.Conclusions:We provide evidence that the rs5370, rs1476046, and rs3087459 polymorphisms ofEDN1gene are not risk factors for DN in Caucasians with T2DM.

Abstract Background Our study attempted to observe the value of periodontal curettage combined with root planing on moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods There involved 72 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated with moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2019 to December 2019. The patients enrolled were randomly divided into four groups using a computer-generated table: root planing and periodontal curettage combined group (n = 18), root planning group (n = 18), periodontal curettage group (n = 18) and cleansing group (n = 18). Blood glucose, plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), attachment loss (AL), serum levels of inflammatory factors (Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha [TNF- α] and hypersensitive C-reactive protein [hs-CRP]) were observed before and after treatment. The collecting dates were analyzed by the chi-square χ 2 test, repeated measurement analysis of variance, or t-test according to different data types and research objectives. Results Before treatment, there was no significant difference in PI, GI, PD and AL among the four groups (P> 0.05), while after 3-month treatment, the levels of PI, GI, PD and AL in the combined group were lower than those in the root planing group, periodontal curettage group and cleansing group, with both root planing group and periodontal curettage group significantly lower than cleansing group (P< 0.05). The fasting blood glucose, 2-h postprandial blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in the combined group, root planing group, periodontal curettage group and cleansing group were significantly lower than those before treatment (P < 0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in TNF- α and hs-CRP among the four groups (P> 0.05), but the levels of TNF- α and hs-CRP in the four groups decreased significantly after 3-month treatment (P< 0.05). The levels of TNF- α and hs-CRP in the combined group were lower than those in the root planing group, periodontal curettage group and cleansing group, and those in the root planing group and periodontal curettage group were significantly lower than those in the cleansing group (P< 0.05). Conclusion The combination therapy of periodontal curettage and root planing exerted beneficial effects on moderate-to-severe chronic periodontitis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which holds the potential to maintain the level of blood glucose and improve the quality of life of the patients.
