The efficacy of using Quercetin as maintenance therapy in complete dentures for prevention of inflammatory and degenerative disorders. High efficiency of the proposed preventive measures concerning the preparation of the mucous membrane in patients with diabetes type ІІ has been approved. Application of Quercetin combined in enteral and topical manner (application on the tissue of the prosthetic bed) significantly reduces the clinical manifestations of inflammation, leading to the restoration of the balance of oxidant-antioxidation system and, on the effectiveness of the above conventional enteral administration. Given the fact that the effect of therapeutic measures is unstable and get reduced by some values within 6 months after the treatment twice a year, the patients in this category are indicated repeated courses.

Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent cause of death in patient with diabetes. It is difficult to evaluate cardiovascular status of patients with diabetes because of complex symptomatology. NTproBNP, a split peptide from pro BNP molecule is a novel biomarker, released from cardiac myocytes in response to myocardial stretch, cardio vascular disease, endothelial dysfunction and heart failure. We aimed to test that is elevated NTproBNP levels associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in diabetes patients in comparison to matched control. Demographic, anthropometric measure, NT pro BNP, lipid profile, blood glucose were estimated and compared among angiographically proven cardiovascular disease patients with diabetes and healthy controls. Univariate and multivariate analysis were carried out to compare individual factor using t-Test, ANOVA and the inter group comparisons were done by using Bon ferroni Post Hoc test. Patients with type 2 diabetes were shown to have higher NTproBNP values (n=50, 1481.021±813.405) than control subjects (n=50, 23.562±23.395) (p <0.05). NTproBNP levels were independently related to diabetes after adjustment for age, sex, family history, smoking, obesity, blood pressure and lipid profile. Our data suggests that the secretion of NT pro BNP is increased in type II diabetes patients, suggesting association of diabetes and NTproBNP in cardio vascular disease with higher prevalence. Thus NTproBNP may serve as a screening tool to diagnose patients with type II diabetes with cardiovascular disease having complex symptomatology.

Fungal organisms could be present in the nail without any clinical manifestations. As onychomycosis in diabetics has more serious complications, early detection of such infection could be helpful to prevent them. We aim in this study to assess the possibility of detecting subclinical onychomycosis in type II diabetic patients and addressing possible associated neuropathy. A cross sectional, observational study included patients with type II diabetes with normal big toe nail. All were subjected to nail clipping of the big toe nail, followed by staining with Hematoxylin and Eosin and Periodic-Acid-Schiff (PAS) stains and examined microscopically. A total of 106 patients were included, fungal infection was identified in eight specimens, all were uncontrolled diabetes, and six had neuropathy. Using the nail clipping and microscopic examination with PAS stain to detect such subclinical infection could be an applicable screening test for diabetic patients, for early detection and management of onychomycosis.

Insulin stimulates endothelin-1 (ET-1) expression in a dose-response relationship, and ET-1 effects on vascular wall structure are similar to the long-term complications of diabetes. We therefore determined whether the plasma ET-1 concentration in patients with diabetes is associated with their total insulin exposure to see if plasma ET-1 might be a link between insulin exposure and long-term complications of diabetes. We studied 69 patients with Type I and 40 patients with Type II diabetes mellitus in equally tight glycaemic control for 2 years in a cross-sectional design. We measured basal and glucagon-stimulated plasma C-peptide, abdominal sagittal diameter, skinfold thickness, glomerular filtration rate, albumin excretion rate and standard clinical characteristics. Mean HbA1c was 6.4% in Type I and 6.3% in Type II diabetes. Patients with an albumin excretion rate > 300 μg/min were excluded. Adjusted mean plasma ET-1 was 4.11 (S.E.M. 0.39) pg/ml in 21 normal subjects, 3.47 (0.19) pg/ml in Type I diabetes and 4.84 (0.26) pg/ml in Type II diabetes (P = 0.0001). In all patients with measurable plasma C-peptide, plasma ET-1 was associated with basal plasma C-peptide (r = 0.5018, P < 0.0001), with stimulated plasma C-peptide (r = 0.5379, P < 0.0001), and with total daily insulin dose (r = 0.2219, P = 0.00851). Abdominal obesity, metabolic abnormalities, blood pressure and glomerular filtration rate were not associated with plasma ET-1, when corrected for C-peptide and daily insulin dose. Our study shows that the plasma concentration of ET-1 is closely associated with insulin secretion and insulin dose in patients with diabetes. Plasma ET-1 is higher in Type II diabetes than in Type I diabetes. Increased insulin exposure in patients with diabetes may have long-term effects on vascular wall structure through its stimulation of ET-1 expression.

ABSTRACT. Macroangiopathy is the most important cause of mortality and morbidity in type II diabetes. The atherosclerotic process in diabetes is similar to that found in non-diabetic subjects, but the laesions are more extensive and the clinical manifestations are more common in diabetic subjects than in the non-diabetic population. In diabetic patients from different populations, the prevalence of macroangiopathy is variable, and the relative frequency follows the pattern found in the respective non-diabetic populations. The relative risk of large vessel disease is in most populations higher for female than for male diabetics. Coronary heart disease is the most important manifestation of macroangiopathy while cerebrovascular disease and peripheral vascular disease are less frequent, although all these manifestations occur at increased frequency among middle-aged diabetic subjects. The incidence of peripheral vascular disease seems to increase with increasing duration of diabetes in middle-aged subjects, whereas coronary heart disease is particularly frequent in type II diabetes already at the time of the diagnosis. Key words: atherosclerosis, complications, diabetes mellitus, macroangiopathy, mortality.

1.The role of oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of the diabetic state is being investigated extensively. Although oxidative stress has been reported in terms of glycoxidation, protein oxidation and DNA oxidation in diabetes mellitus, oxidation parameters have not been determined in parallel on the same study population. 2.We studied 24 patients with diabetes mellitus (14 patients with Type I diabetes with a mean age of 62.3±6.3 years and 10 patients with Type II diabetes aged 67.3±5.9 years) and compared them with age-matched non-diabetic controls. Urinary o-tyrosine, 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine and pentosidine measurements by HPLC were made on two occasions (t1 and t2). 3.A clear statistical difference was found between diabetic patients and controls at t1 or t2 for 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine and pentosidine, but not for o-tyrosine. No significant correlations were found between clinical and other laboratory parameters except high-density lipoprotein and uric acid. We revealed significantly increased glycoxidation and DNA oxidation in patients with Type I and Type II diabetes, but protein oxidation was not different from controls. 4.The finding of increased glycoxidation reflects increased oxidation of the carbohydrate moiety, whereas the increased levels of oxidized DNA may also be interpreted as due to increased DNA repair. The increased 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine does not indicate the generation of an individual active oxygen species, but DNA could have been oxidized simply by alkenals from lipid peroxidation, as e.g. malondialdehyde. As no difference in protein oxidation (i.e. o-tyrosine) between diabetics and controls could be revealed, the oxidation of DNA by hydroxyl radical attack is unlikely, as o-tyrosine was proposed as a marker for hydroxyl radical attack. Therefore, the message is that increased glycoxidation can be confirmed, protein oxidation does not appear to take place and increased DNA oxidation is still not proven, as increased 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine may simply reflect repair.

The article is devoted to the study of psychoemotional characteristics of patients with diabetes mellitus. Conducting psychological techniques, testing, questioning patients will reveal anxiety-depressive states and psychological characteristics of patients with type I diabetes and type II diabetes for successful disease control. It is necessary to strive for the examination of such patients with an individual approach for each. To improve the quality of life of such patients, it is necessary to search for effective approaches in the education system of patients with type I diabetes and type II diabetes with the participation of psychologists.

Anaemia is common in patients with diabetes and associated with an increased risk of diabetic complications. Although the role of anaemia in heart failure is established, we hypothesize that anaemia also contributes to an increased risk of cardiac dysfunction in patients with Type II diabetes. In the present study, 228 consecutive adults with diabetes were investigated using transthoracic echocardiography. Echocardiographic parameters were correlated with the Hb (haemoglobin) level and adjusted for other risk factors for cardiac dysfunction using multivariate analysis. More than one in five patients (23%) had anaemia, which was an independent risk factor for cardiac dysfunction on echocardiography. Over one-third of all patients with evidence of abnormal cardiac function (diastolic and/or systolic dysfunction) on echocardiography had anaemia compared with <5% of patients with normal echocardiographic findings. Most patients with anaemia had cardiac dysfunction (94%), with the major abnormality being diastolic dysfunction associated with an increased left ventricular mass and impaired relaxation indices. A continuous association between diastolic function and Hb was also observed in patients without anaemia. In patients with a history of cardiovascular disease, systolic dysfunction was twice as common in patients with anaemia. Anaemia was also correlated with plasma markers of cardiac risk, including BNP (brain natriuretic peptide), CRP (C-reactive protein) and AVP (arginine vasopressin). Notably, the predictive utility of these markers was eliminated after adjusting for Hb. Consequently, the inexpensive measurement of Hb may be a useful tool to identify diabetic patients at increased risk of cardiac dysfunction.

The authors analyze the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in Daghestan, a republic with various climatic and geographic zones, whose population belongs to a great variety of ethnic groups, over 1987-1991. The findings evidence a lower prevalence of this condition in Daghestan than in other regions, but there is a trend to an annual increment in the morbidity, mostly at the expense of Type II diabetes. The urban residents of Daghestan more often develop the disease, may be due to the fact that wine-making industry is concentrated mainly in town. In the country diabetes mellitus in more incident on the planes, less incident in the foothills, and still less incident in the mountains. The highlanders, when they come to the planes, develop diabetes mellitus as frequently as the residents of the planes. Of the ethnic groups the Russians suffer from the disease most frequently, then come the Kumyks, Lakts, Darghines, Lezghines, Aguls, Tabasaranes; the Avares and Rutules are the least frequent among the diabetics. Preventive measures should be concentrated mostly in towns and on the planes. These specific features of diabetes mellitus epidemiology should be taken into consideration when organizing a net of endocrine service.

Elderly are high risk for the development of type 2 diabetes due to the combined effects of increasing insulin resistance and impaired pancreatic function with aging. Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that causes insulin in the pancreas is not effective one of the treatments that can be done by diabetics to reduce blood sugar levels One of them with physical activity, the activity is taichi exercises.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of taichi exercises on reducing blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.The design of this study was pre-experiment one group pre-test and post-test design with a population of 88 patients and a sample of 44 respondents. Research sampling technique used purposive sampling. Data collection with observation sheets. The intervention was carried out four times during 4 weeks. Before the intervention, sugar levels of type II diabetics were classified as moderate as 24 people (54.5%) and high as many as 20 people (45.5%). After the management of taichi exercises sugar levels experienced changes in the categories of good as many as 16 people (36.4%), moderate as many as 20 people (45.5%) and high as many as 8 people (18.2%). Data analized with Wilcoxon Signed Rank test with a significant level α = 0.05, the result ρ-value = 0.001 means ρ-value <α so that there is a significant effect of taichi exercises on decreasing blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus before doing taichi exercises with the number of respondents 44 people mostly experienced changes, evidenced by the level of blood sugar levels from moderate levels to good.
