The aim is to study morphofunctional structure of NALT (nasal associated lymphoid tissue) and visceral lymph nodes of rats with experimental type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM-1) and to define the effectiveness of the treatment with herbal drug “Imupret”. Materials and methods: The experiment involved 20 animals, divided into 4 groups: the 1st group was the control group of healthy rats, the 2nd group was the control group subject to prophylactic treatment with “Imupret, the 3rd group included rats with experimental diabetes, and the 4th group included rats with experimental diabetes subject to treatment with “Imupret. Functional changes in immune organs were evaluated by the results of morphometric analysis; morphological pattern was evaluated by histostructural changes. Results. The research revealed that under conditions of diabetes mellitus type 1, the volume, area and density of the lymphoid tissue decreased, and only its "fine" cell was detected. The paper demonstrates the development of relative immune deficiency in immunocompetent organs in rats with diabetes mellitus type 1. The use of drug "Imupret" demonstrated its immunomodulatory function, which is especially important in terms of immunosuppression in patient with DM-1. Conclusion. The received results are of a great clinical significance, and show the necessity of early prevention and treatment of immunity disorders under conditions of diabetes mellitus type 1.

Aim. To evaluate the effect of changes occuring in the organism in diabetes mellitus type 1 on the state of bone mineral density and its metabolism parameters; to determine the changes in serum markers of bone remodeling and bone mineral density in this disease. Methods. Bone mineral density (by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) and serum markers of bone remodeling (total alkaline phosphatase activity, level of aminoterminal propeptide of type 1 procollagen and C-terminal telopeptide) were examined in 98 patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 and in the control group consisting of 82 subjects. Results. The average concentration of C-terminal telopeptide in the blood serum of patients with type 1 diabetes (0.525±0.03 ng/ml) was significantly higher in comparison to the control group (0.424±0.02 ng/ml; p <0.01). Proximal femoral T-score in type 1 diabetes was significantly lower than the average value in the control group: -1.44±0.15 and -0.49±0.17 (p <0.001). In the femoral neck it was -1.68±0.14 and -0.64±0.18 (p <0.001), in LI-IV zone -2.04±0.16 and -0.73±0.19, respectively (p <0.001). Moderate negative significant correlation was found between T-score (LI-IV) and level of C-terminal telopeptide (r=-0.431, p=0.000). Conclusion. In patients with diabetes mellitus osteopenia is a relatively frequent complication, but bone loss increases with duration and decompensation of the disease; evaluation of bone mineral density and C-terminal telopeptide level (bone resorption marker) promotes detection of bone metabolism abnormalities at any stage of the disease, especially in the long-term course of type 1 diabetes.


Summary. Mitral valve prolapse is a significant cardiovascular risk factor in young adults. Its combination with type 1 diabetes mellitus can influence the nature and development of the disease. Objective – a comparative analysis of free and peptide-bound oxyproline levels and basic echocardiographic parameters (ECP) in patients with mitral valve prolapse, type 1 diabetes and their combination. Materials and methods – 93 people aged 19–33 years were examined, including 24 people with mitral valve prolapse without concomitant pathology; 33 patients with mitral valve prolapse and type 1 diabetes; 36 patients with type 1 diabetes without mitral valve prolapse. Results. The level of free and peptide-bound oxyproline in blood serum and their ratio were assessed as a marker of collagen metabolism. The levels of free oxyproline were significantly higher only for the group of MVP patients with type 1 diabetes (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. Severity of destructive processes was demonstrated by a high level of peptide-bound oxyproline, both in combined pathology compared with control group, and compared with groups of patients with monomorbid diabetes and MVP (p < 0.05). In patients with mitral valve prolapse and type 1 diabetes for more than 10 years in anamnesis were found significant differences in the echocardiography parameters (ventricular septum thickness, posterior wall of the left ventricle thickness) compared with the subgroup of patients with less than 10 years of type 1 diabetes in anamnesis and the group with isolated mitral valve prolapse. Conclusions. The data obtained indicate an aggravation in collagen metabolism disorders in patients with mitral valve prolapse depending on the duration of type 1 diabetes, and demonstrate the effect of carbohydrate metabolism disorders on the risk of developing connective tissue degradation of the heart valve apparatus.

The aims of this study were to investigate the influence of alterations in bone metabolism and in hormonal and biochemical parameters on periodontium tissue as well as to estimate the optimal algorithm of investigation and treatment in men with diabetes mellitus type 1. During the first stage (12 months) the comparative analysis of conditions of pariodontium tissue was conducted in 60 men of childbearing age with diabetes mellitus type 1 and in 25 men of the control group. During the second stage (12 months) the markers of bone metabolism and the conditions of paradontium tissue were studied in 26 men of childbearing age with diabetes mellitus type 1 and in 25 men of the control group. The marker of bone resorption (CTX) was significantly lower (372,7 pkg/ml versus 473,0 pkg/ml; p= 0,006) and the marker of bone formation (OK) was significantly higher (27,6 ng/ml compared to 21,42 ng/ml; p< 0,005) in the group of patients who received ALPHA D3-TEVA (alfacalcidol 0,75mkg/day) and 2 tab CALCEMIN ADVANCE (calcium 1000 mg, cholecalciferol 400 UI) in comparison with the control group. Conclusion: the treatment with Calcium and Vitamin D is effective for prevention of bone resorbtion, particularly in jaws.

Diabetes mellitus type 1 is associated with impaired cognitive function. Based on the results of systematic reviews and meta-analyzes, the most likely modifiable risk factor is the degree of metabolic control, in particular the variability of glycemia. Aims: to determine the influence of the variability of glycemia on cognitive functions in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Material and methods. Design-observational, one-stage, cross-sectional research. We examined 30 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus who were divided into 2 groups: 1 group (main) with cognitive impairment, and 2 (control) with normal cognitive functions. All patients were screened for cognitive functions using the Montreal scale (MoCa test). For the diagnosis of fluctuations in glucose level, continuous monitoring of glycemia was carried out using the iPro-2 device (Medtronic, USA): mean glycemic mean (MEAN), standard deviation (SD), mean amplitude of glycemic fluctuation (MAGE), long-term glycemic index (CONGA) Glycemia lability index (LI), hypoglycemia risk index (LBGI), hyperglycemia risk index (HBGI), mean hourly rate of glycemic change (MAG). Results. The study revealed that in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, cognitive impairment was dominated by a violation of constructive praxis, memory and attention. Recorded a significant difference in MEAN, SD, CONGA, Gindex, LBGI, HBGI, MAGE, Mvalue and MAG. Correlation analysis revealed the relationship of cognitive impairments with the level of HbA1c, as well as the variability parameters MEAN, SD, CONGA, Gindex, LBGI, HBGI, MAGE, Mvalue, MAG. Conclusions. The relationship between the variability of glycemia and cognitive impairment was registered in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is the most common chronic endocrine pathology among children. Data from the Indonesian Pediatric Association (IDAI) states that the incidence of DM in children aged 0-18 years has increased by 700% over a period of 10 years. Treatment includes diet, physical activity, insulin medication, and proper self-control. The necessary changes in habits and lifestyles can lead to psychosocial problems, including anxiety, depression and eating disorders. Subsequently, the child or adolescent and his or her family group may move into new balance characterized by good self-control and adherence to treatment, or deepen individual and group disorders which may reappear, especially in adolescence. The comprehensive treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus requires addressing these aspects through multidisciplinary teams which include medical and psychosocial professionals. This review analyses the main aspects related to the psychosocial impact of diabetes mellitus type 1 among children, adolescents and their families mental. A substantial amount of behavioral science research has demonstrated that psychosocial factors play an integral role in the management of diabetes in both children and adults. Research has also shown how psychosocial therapies that can improve regimen adherence, glycemic control, psychosocial functioning, and quality of life.

Many studies focus on the effect of compensation of diabetes, glucose-lowering therapy of choice, the influence of cardio - vascular diseases in the state of cognition. At the same time, not enough attention is paid to cognitive impairment in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, especially young people. The aim of our study was to investigate the prognostic factors of dementia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus are younger. 33 patients were examined with type 1 diabetes and 10 people in the control group. Of the 33 patients with diabetes, 21 people had hypoglycemia in the last 3 months and 12 without hypoglycemic states. To identify depression used two questionnaires: Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD). Evaluation of cognitive impairment was conducted using the following methods: The test "5 words", sample Schulte, the scale of assessment of mental status ( MMSE), test battery on the frontal dysfunction (BLD), evaluation of test o’clock. To reveal the 10-year risk of dementia patients used the scale which was developed by a team of researchers at Utrecht University Medical Rudolf Magnus. In patients with type 1 diabetes with hypoglycemia marked deterioration in cognitive function, according to the neuropsychological tests, namely the BLD and MMSE compared with  patient without hypoglycemia. The risk of developing dementia over 10 years in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 young up 2.2 times compared with patients without hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemic state is the main risk factor that leads to the development of cognitive impairment, and this is a factor which can be influenced by insulin properly selected.

Objective. To examine kidney transplant dysfunction markers in patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) after kidney transplantation (KT) and simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplantation (SPK).Materials and methods. The study included 20 patients after successful SPK (group 1) and 41 patients after KT (21 received insulin pump therapy (group 2), 20 –multiple daily injections of insulin (group 3). Post transplantation period at the time of inclusion in the KT group was 8 months [7;8], in SPK-11 months [8;18]. The control group consisted of 15 patients with DM1 without diabetic nephropathy (group 4). Sex, age and duration of T1DM were comparable. Donors of SPK were younger than KT: 29 [25; 33] vs 46[30; 51] years p<0,01 and transplant cold ischemia time was less 8[7;10] vs 11,5 [1; 17] hours respectively, p<0,01. After 9 months of observation biomarkers of dysfunction of renal transplant: Cystatin C (serum, urine); NGAL, KIM-1, podocin, nephrin, IL-18, IP-10 (urine), TGF-β1, MMP-9, VEGF-A, Osteopontin – (OPN) (serum) were defined.Results. the level of GFR in patients after transplantation was C2 stage, albuminuria A1 of chronic kidney disease. In the group of patients with T1DM after successful SPK and KT revealed a significant increase in markers of renal dysfunction (cystatin C (serum), NGAL, Podocin, OPN) compared with the control group despite of carbohydrate metabolism compensation (Tabl.1). High level and a negative associated of blood cystatin C with GFR (r = - 0,36, p<0.05) and positive with albuminuria (r=0,40, p<0,05), as well as a direct link of podocin urine-with blood creatinine (r = 0,35, p<0.05) and NGAL with albuminuria (r = 0,35, p<0.05) in recipients after transplantation were defined. Association between podocin with MMP-9 (r = 0,46, p<0,05) and NGAL (r = 0,33, p<0,05) indicated correlation of stress factors of renal microstructures in posttransplantation patients.Conclusion. High levels of renal graft dysfunction biomarkers in the examined patients (including those after SPK) show the persistence of damage to the microstructures with stable graft function and demonstrate the need to control all factors in the preservation of renal function.Table 1.

A recently discussed cardiovascular risk factor, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), is known to act as an endogenous inhibitor of endothelial nitric oxide synthase. The aim of this study was to establish 1) the relationship between ADMA and ultrasonographically or biochemically determined endothelial dysfunction in children, and 2) the effect of folate supplementation on these parameters. The study cohort included 32 children with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), 30 with diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1) and 30 age-matched healthy children as the control group. Furthermore, twenty-eight randomly selected FH and DM1 children were re-examined after 3-months supplementation with folic acid. Baseline levels of ADMA and oxidized low density lipoproteins (oxLDL) were significantly higher in FH group than in DM1 and healthy children. Children in DM1 group had significantly lower concentration of homocysteine, but ADMA levels were normal. Folic acid supplementation significantly lowered homocysteine and hsCRP levels in both FH and DM1 group; however, ADMA and oxLDL concentrations remained unaltered. In conclusion, ADMA and oxLDL appear to be associated with endothelial dysfunction in children with FH. Administration of folic acid did not influence these markers in both FH and DM1 children.
