Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) due to its increasing prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality has become a serious public health problem. In DM, HDL may lose its beneficial features and become proatherogenic due to its altered biological activity thus increasing cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of the presence of diabetes mellitus type 2 and its duration on the distribution of HDL subfractions. Moreover, the effect of statin treatment on HDL subfraction share was analysed in this study. Methods: The study group consisted of 50 patients with newly diagnosed DM and 50 persons with DM for longer than 10 years while the control group consisted of 50 healthy volunteers. HDL subfractions were analysed with the use of Lipoprint. Results: We demonstrated progressive worsening of heart functioning and impairment of its structure in the course of diabetes mellitus. Moreover, we observed that HDL-6 subfraction and intermediate HDL fraction are lowest in the group with advanced DMt2 compared to the group with newly diagnosed DM and a healthy control group. Finally, the results of our study indicated the effect of statin treatment on HDL subfractions that seems not to be advantageous. Conclusion: It seems that in patients with diabetes mellitus compromised antiatherogenic properties of HDL, as a result of oxidative modification and glycation of the HDL protein as well as the transformation of the HDL proteome into a proinflammatory protein, increase cardiovascular risk.

The aim: was to improve the course of purulent wounds in diabetes by using physical therapies. Materials and methods: we investigated 122 patients with diabetes mellitus and wound processes. We divided all patients on the two groups. Our study groups were 50 patients who had therapy by ozone together with other general treatment and surgery treatment (daily dressings, ointments and solutions). Our control groups were 72 patients, who had treated only by general methods and surgery treatment (daily dressings, ointments and solutions).The patients of our explore group had received intravenous injection of saline ozone solution together with other general treatment and surgery treatment (daily dressings, ointments and solutions). Results: it had studied of indicators of oxidative modification of proteins, lipid peroxidation in blood plasma, antioxidant protection during this period, there were no significant changes in these parameters between the control and experimental groups. As the result of the study was found that the leukocyte index of intoxication in patients in the main and control groups was almost indistinguishable. Regarding the indexes of hematological index of intoxication, which decreased during the treatment of patients of the main group, and different from the patients of the control group, in which this indicator increased sharply. The result of the study of changes in the indicators of sorption capacity of erythrocytes showed that the level of sorption capacity of erythrocytes in patients in the main group during treatment, also decreased, compared with patients in the control group. Conclusions: Therefore, the use of ozone in the treatment of patients with complicated forms of diabetes does not cause a negative impact on the dynamics of homeostasis and indicators of the level of intoxication of the body. Ozone therapy has a beneficial effect on the course and wound process in patients with diabetes with purulent processes.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a critical public health problem, and its prevalence in Indonesia remains high. Diabetes mellitus may cause complications, one of which is neuropathy that can impair foot sensitivity. This requires a treatment by doing diabetic foot exercises using sponges and paper.Objective: To examine the effectiveness of diabetic foot exercise using sponges and newspapers on foot sensitivity in patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study with pretest posttest with a control group research design, which was conducted at Public Health Center Depok III, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. An accidental sampling technique was used to select participants, with a total sample of 108 respondents consisting of 36 respondents in a control group, 36 respondents in a sponge group, and 36 respondents in a newspaper group. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney test.Results: Among the three groups, only those who received foot exercises using sponges and newspapers had a significant effect on foot sensitivity (p <.05). However, there was no significant difference on the effect of foot exercise on foot sensitivity between sponges and newspapers group (p >.05).Conclusion: The use of sponges and newspapers in foot exercise could significantly improve foot sensitivity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is therefore recommended for nurses to provide the foot exercise as a part of nursing practice in both hospitals and community health centers.

Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a multifactorial chronic disease, in which patients need to be treated with insulin in some conditions. Capillary growth is regulated by growth factors like vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endogenous inhibitors such as the splice variant of VEGF receptor-1 (sVEGFR-1). We aimed to show the levels and the clinical significance of VEGF, sVEGFR-1 in patients with DM on insulin treatment. Materials and methods A total of 83 subjects consisting of patients with the diagnosis of DM (n=47) and healthy control (n=36) were included the study. Plasma levels of VEGF and sVEGFR-1, were measured using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Results The average sVEGFR-1 levels of DM group was significantly higher than the control group (0.106±0.052 and 0.073±0.049, respectively; p=0.005). Significantly lower sVEGFR-1 levels were determined in patients receiving metformin vs. without metformin using (0.065±0.016 and 0.118±0.053, respectively; p=0.001). Conclusion This is the first study evaluating and demonstrating the importance of plasma VEGF and sVEGFR-1 levels together in DM patients receiving insulin. Using metformin may have positive effect on angiogenesis in DM. Further studies are required to understand these effects.

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a progressive metabolic disorder. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between antioxidant and oxidative stress markers in the saliva of patients with type 2 DM and a healthy control group. Methods: In this study, 20 patients with diabetes and 20 healthy individuals were evaluated. Salivary antioxidants markers consisted of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), uric acid (UA), peroxidase and catalase. Oxidative stress markers included total oxidant status (TOS), malondealdehyde (MDA) and total thiol (SH). Sialochemical analysis was performed with spectrophotometric assay. All the statistical analyses were conducted using STATA software. Results: TAC decreased significantly in patients with diabetes. Although salivary UA and peroxidase were lower in patients with diabetes compared to the control group, the difference was not significant. Salivary catalase in patients with diabetes was significantly lower than that in the control group. MDA and TOS exhibited significantly higher levels in type 2 DM. SH levels were slightly higher in DM. Conclusions: According to the results of the present study, there were some changes in the salivary levels of some antioxidants and oxidative stress markers in patients with type 2 DM and could be measured as an indicator of serum changes..

IntroductionGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common gestational disease and an important global public health problem. GDM may affect the short-term and long-term health of offspring, but the associations between GDM and the neurodevelopment of offspring of mothers with GDM (OGDM) are still unclear, and studies based on the Chinese population are lacking. We aim to determine the associations between GDM and the neurodevelopment of OGDM by studying a cohort of OGDM and offspring of non-GDM mothers.Methods and analysisThe single-centre prospective cohort study is being conducted in China over 7 years. A total of 490 OGDM (GDM group) and 490 fromof healthy mothers (control group) will be enrolled during the same period. Baseline characteristics, neuropsychological development scores and clinical data at specific time points (at 0, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 72 months old) will be collected from the children in both groups until the age of 6 years. The associations between GDM and the neurodevelopment of OGDM from infancy to preschool age will be analysed using a multiple linear regression model adjusted for confounders. In addition, we will compare longitudinal data to further assess the effects of GDM on neurodevelopmental trajectories.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University (Approval Number: (2019) Institutional Review Board (IRB) (STUDY) No. 85). The findings of this study will be disseminated through open access journals, peer-reviewed journals and scientific meetings.Trial registration numberNCT03997396.
