Aim. To study the effect of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors used to treat the erectile dysfunction in patients of different age groups with concomitant diabetes mellitus. Methods. The study included 293 patients with diabetes mellitus type I and II aged 17-60 years, with duration of diabetes varying from 6 months to 29 years, duration of erectile dysfunction - from 6 months to 12 years. To diagnose the erectile dysfunction, an international index of erectile function, together with routine and special methods were used. Patients were administered phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors: sildenafil, taladafil and vardenafil. The control group included men with the erectile dysfunction without diabetes. To identify the male hypogonadism, patients were examined depending on the age group: 18-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years. Patiens were tested for sex hormones level, male ageing questionnaires were administered. Results. The increased rate of hypogonadism (from 12.5 to 54%) was associated with older age in patients with diabetes mellitus. The androgen status index in patients with diabetes mellitus, according to the Aging Males’ Symptoms rating scale, was 37.1±1.4 points. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors were more effective in younger age groups (57.1-91.7%) compared to older (36.8-67.3%). When comparing the study drugs, vardenafil showed better effect and relatively few side effects. Conclusion. Androgen deficiency, developing with increasing age is accompanied by a decrease in phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors efficiency. The use of small doses of these drugs corresponding the circadian rhythm of testosterone in males with normal testosterone blood level has the same effect as large doses.

The first part of the review article highlights modern views on the prevalence, etiology and features of the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men with diabetes mellitus. Google Scholar and PubMed databases were used to search for literature sources. The role of comorbid diseases in the development of ED in men with diabetes mellitus has been shown. The generalized data on the main clinical manifestations of erectile dysfunction, methods of its diagnosis and treatment are given. A number of epidemiological studies over the past 20 years have found that erectile dysfunction in men with diabetes may be an early marker of cardiovascular complications. Thus, in the algorithm for ED diagnosis in patients with diabetes it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the cardiovascular system. Numerous literature sources indicate an important role in the correction of androgen deficiency in men with type 2 diabetes, in order to enhance the effectiveness of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Erectile dysfunction involves a change in any of the components of an erectile response. ED can negatively affect a man’s quality of life because most patients experience symptoms of depression and anxiety related to their sexual capabilities. These symptoms also affect a partner’s sexual experience and the couple’s quality of life. Clinical features of ED have many key features in the anamnesis, including some physical signs during examination depending on a type of diabetes. With age, comorbid conditions play an increasing role in the development of ED. Diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, obesity can lead to the development of ED before accelerated deterioration of erectile function and disorders at the molecular level of the mechanisms underlying erection. Patients with diabetes and ED have higher scores on the depression rating scale, and poorer overall health and quality of life. Early detection of ED in individuals with diabetes can improve the overall health and quality of life of patients. Patients with diabetes with poor glycemic control and older age are more likely to develop severe ED, which further exacerbates an already compromised health and quality of life. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001–2002), diabetes mellitus is a modified risk factor independently associated with the development of ED (odds ratio (OR) 2.69), obesity (OR 1.60), smoking (OR 1.74) and hypertension (OR 1.56). Erectile dysfunction is a common complication of diabetes, and diabetes is a risk factor for ED; men with diabetes are three times more likely to have ED.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is frequently associated with disturbances of the sexual function underlain by hypogonadism and neuropathy. These pathologicalconditions are successfully managed by androgens, alpha-lipoic acid, and phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, besides compensation of carbohydratemetabolism. This paper reports results of evaluation of different methods for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in DM patients basedat Endocrinological Research Centre. Their combination ensured higher than 90% efficiency of therapy.

Background Approximately 300 million people are affected by hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection worldwide. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a frequent condition that impairs the quality of life and can be associated with several chronic disorders (type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, depression). Few studies have evaluated the prevalence of ED in patients with HBV and HCV chronic infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and the risk factors of ED in a cohort of patients with HBV or HCV-related chronic liver diseases. Methods: Consecutive patients with HCV and HBV chronic infection were enrolled. Results: In total, 89 out (49 with cirrhosis, 21 with HBV and 68 with HCV infection) were included in this study. ED was diagnosed in 76.4% of patients. The use of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors was reported by 21.3% of patients. Patients with ED were older and had a higher rate of cirrhosis and diabetes mellitus compared with patients without ED. At multivariate analysis, diabetes mellitus and stage of liver disease (cirrhosis vs chronic hepatitis) were the only independent predictors of ED. Conclusion: Due to the high rate of ED in outpatients with viral-related liver disease and the underuse of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, a larger study focussed on these patients is needed.

ABSTRACT Aim The objective of this study was to determine the oxidative status of saliva and plasma in diabetic children, by analyzing advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC). Materials and methods Study included 60 patients with diabetes mellitus type I (DMT1) aged 12.45 ± 2.65 years, and 40 healthy age-matched controls. The AOPP and TAC of the plasma and saliva samples were determined using a commercial QuantiChrom™ Antioxidant Assay Kit (DTAC-100) for TAC determination, and Immunodiagnostic AG [enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for AOPP]. Results Values of salivary and plasma AOPP were lower in diabetic patients than in healthy controls, while value of TAC was clinically and significantly higher in plasma of controls, and clinically higher in saliva of healthy control group, compared with diabetic patients. Average value of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was 7.58 ± 0.85%. Conclusion Results of this study showed that diabetes mellitus as a condition, with well-controlled HbA1c, has no influence on AOPP levels in saliva and plasma, while TAC levels of saliva and plasma are lower in diabetic patients, which means that DMT1 has an influence on the TAC.

Aim.  To study the distribution and cellular architecture of the largest human pancreatic islets (with a diameter of more than 200 micron) in aging and diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2. Materials and methods.  Antibodies to insulin, glucagon, somastatin and nturon-specific enolase were applied. The autopsy samples of the pancreatic tissue of patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DMT1) and type 2 (DMT2) and 2 age groups (up to 50 years old (control) and after 50 (aging control)), not suffering from diseases of the pancreas and carbohydrate metabolism malfunction were investigated. Results.  The number of islets with diameter more than 200 mkm compared to control group increased both in aging and diabetes groups. Their number reaches in some cases 15% (and higher in DM) of the total number of islets. These islets compared to the other are rich-vascularized. It was shown that glucagon and somatostatin-containing cells are found both on the periphery of the large islets, and inside them only in the immediate proximity of the capillaries. Insulin-containing cells form clusters, surrounded by the capillaries and the ?- and ?-cells, while the inner part of such clusters has no direct contact with the capillaries. In the large islets the number of glucagon-containing cells is often increased, and insulin-containing cells show signs of degradation. Conclusion.  The largest of the pancreatic islets may be useless for the transplantation, because of the high content of glucagon-containing cells, the rich vascularization and, in some cases, the limited functionality of ?-cells.
