Nigella sativa (NS) is a widely used medicinal plant throughout the world. Seeds and oil have a long history of folklore usage in various aspects of medicines and food. It has been used to treat a wide range of diseases including diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is a chronic incurable disease with high mortality and morbidity and increasing prevalence. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypoglycemic effect of (NS) in type 1 diabetic patients. 30 patients with type I diabetes aged 5 to 17 years were included in the study after consenting their parents. Their medical history was taken to confirm that they were fit in the last month and their FBG was measured. They were given NS (2gm per day) with yogurt, beside their regular treatment (insulin) without changing their dose or diet for 30 days. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was rechecked after that and compared with the initial FBG paired t-test in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 22 software. The mean levels of FBS before and one month after the intervention were 259 ± 102 and 134 ± 70 mg/dl respectively. There was significant reduction in FBS after treatment with NS (P =0.000). In conclusion NS, a natural product, showed a significant improvement in FBG in type 1 diabetic patients. More studies are recommended in the future to determine the optimal dose, duration and frequency of NS as an antidiabetic drug, its mechanism of action in type1 diabetes and to search for the active antidiabetic ingredient as well as to study the effect of NS in prevention of diabetic complications.

1. Increased erythrocyte sodium-lithium countertransport activity has been reported to be associated with nephropathy in type 1 diabetes and linked to a family history of essential hypertension. 2. This study aimed to determine the mechanism of increased sodium-lithium countertransport activity. Sodium-lithium countertransport kinetics were measured in uncomplicated and hyperlipidaemic type 1 diabetic patients. 3. In the nine out of 31 uncomplicated type 1 diabetic patients who had high sodium-lithium countertransport activity, the sodium affinity (Km) was normal but the maximum velocity (Vmax.) was increased. 4. Hyperlipidaemia, when present in diabetic patients, was associated with increased sodium-lithium countertransport activity, but could not explain the high activity in uncomplicated type 1 diabetic patients in whom plasma lipid concentrations were normal. 5. Sodium-lithium countertransport activity is increased in type 1 diabetes by a mechanism different to that in essential hypertension, where the mechanism is a low Km (increased sodium affinity). Hence familial hypertension cannot explain the raised sodium-lithium countertransport activity in type 1 diabetes.

Purpose To investigate if diabetic patients without diabetic retinopathy despite long disease duration have different human leukocyte antigen (HLA) status vs those with an early onset of retinopathy. Methods Retrospective, nonrandomized, masked comparative study. Type 1 diabetic patients with a disease onset before age 30 were recruited to the study. The study population consisted of two groups of diabetic patients: those with normal retinopathy course (retinopathy developed during the first 20 years of diabetes onset) (23 patients) and those with postponed retinopathy (no obvious retinopathy in spite of passing 20 years of diabetes) (19 patients). These groups were matched with regard to level of glycemic control, blood pressure, and lipid profile. A group of 23 healthy patients served as controls. HLA-DQB1 typing of blood samples was done using a polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primer (PCR-SSP) method. Results HLA-DQB1*0201/HLA-DQB1*0501 and HLA-DQB1*0201/HLA-DQB1*0504 haplotypes were more common among type 1 diabetic patients with normal retinopathy course than those with postponed retinopathy (26.1% vs 0.0%; p=0.019). HLA-DQB1*0301 and HLA-DQB1*0304 were less common among those diabetic patients with normal retinopathy course than those with a postponed retinopathy (63.2% vs 34.8%; p=0.067). Conclusions Some haplotypes seem to predispose diabetic patients to diabetic retinopathy. HLA typing may be beneficial for predicting the prognosis of diabetic retinopathy in younger diabetic patients.

Abstract Oxygen supplementation, although a cornerstone of emergency and cardiovascular medicine, often results in hyperoxia, a condition characterized by excessive tissue oxygen which results in adverse cardiac remodeling and subsequent injurious effects to physiological function. Cardiac remodeling is further influenced by various risk factors, including pre-existing conditions and sex. Thus, the purpose of this experiment was to investigate cardiac remodeling in Type I Diabetic (Akita) mice subjected to hyperoxic treatment. Overall, we demonstrated that Akita mice experience distinct challenges from wild type (WT) mice. Specifically, Akita males at both normoxia and hyperoxia showed significant decreases in body and heart weights, prolonged PR, QRS, and QTc intervals, and reduced %EF and %FS at normoxia compared to WT controls. Moreover, Akita males largely resemble female mice (both WT and Akita) with regards to the parameters studied. Finally, statistical analysis revealed hyperoxia to have the greatest influence on cardiac pathophysiology, followed by sex, and finally genotype. Taken together, our data suggest that Type I diabetic patients may have distinct cardiac pathophysiology under hyperoxia compared to uncomplicated patients, with males being at high risk. These findings can be used to enhance provision of care in ICU patients with Type I diabetes as a comorbid condition.

Aims: To evaluate the urinary microalbumin levels in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in association with the glycemic control. Methodology: 100 subjects were enrolled (50 controls and 50 type 1 diabetic patients) with age and sex matched. 50 Type 1 diabetic patients were grouped into 3 based on their glycemic status. Venous blood and urine is collected for the estimation of the urinary microalbumin, serum creatinine, fasting blood glucose and HbA1c. Results: The present study received significant correlations between MA and HbA1c with their respective controls with p –value < 0.005. The difference of means between Group 2 and Group 3 is statistically significant, and between Group 1 and Group 3 is also statistically significant (p value <0.05). Conclusion: The present study stated that urinary microalbumin was found to be higher in type 1 DM. The raised MA levels are found to be associated with poor glycemic control in Type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Background Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is one of the most common chronic and metabolic diseases worldwide. The incidence of T1DM is reported to be increasing by 3-5% per year, and the number of people with diabetes is estimated to reach 380 million by 2025. Several studies have shown that TIDM is associated with metabolic abnormalities and alteration of adipose tissue hormones (adipokines). Apelin, one of the most abundantly expressed adipocytokine, is a bioactive peptide and produces its effects through a cell surface G protein-coupled receptor called APJ.The apelinergic system, is involved in a wide range of functions including regulation of body fluid homeostasis, cardiovascular system, angiogenesis and energy metabolism . Additionally, apelin participates in pathological processes, including obesity and diabetes. Apelin plays a beneficial role in energy metabolism. Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate serum Apelin levels in patients with type 1 diabetes and to correlate the serum Apelin level and glycemic control. Patients and Methods This study was a cross sectional study. Participants were classified into two groups. The first group included 60 patient with T1DM recruited from Ain Shams University Endocrinology and Diabetes outpatient clinics in Cairo during the period from June 2019 to January2002 and the second group included 40 healthy controls. Serum apelin (APLN), FBS, 2hrPP, HbA1c, lipid profile and eGDR were measured for each case. Results Comparison between T1DM patients and controls revealed that serum apelin levels, were significantly increased in cases compared to controls. Negative correlations were found between Apelin and HbA1c% in the diabetic group as a marker for glycemic control so apelin may have a promising role as biomarkers in T1DM. Conclusion Our study showed that apelin concentrations were increased in type 1 diabetic patients compared to healthy controls. The potential association of apelin with insulin secretion and action may reveal new pathways in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. Apelin in T1DM patients may be considered as promising adipokines for predicting glycemic control.

Background: Therapies for hyperglycemic treatment, including insulin and oral diabetes medications, have been confirmed to cause several side effects. Thus, finding new drugs with fewer side effects is of high importance. Salung leaf herb (Psychotria malayana Jack) reported used in traditional societies as a treatment for diabetes. However, the scientific proof of this plant for diabetes treatment is still lacking.Objective: To evaluate the antidiabetic effect of the P. malayana jack in induced type 1 diabetic rats by assessing blood glucose level and pancreatic cells in white rats.Methods: Alloxan used to induce type I diabetes. Rats randomly divided into six groups. A Group P1 received 250 mg/kg BW; group P2 received 500 mg/kg BW, group P3 received 1000 mg/kg BW. While group 4 basal received no treatment, group 5 received distilled water as a negative control, and group 6 received glibenclamide as a positive control. Medications are given for six days. Glucose levels were measured, and observation of pancreatic Langerhans cell damages.Results:  A decrease in blood glucose levels observed in all treatment groups. The most significant reduction (49.76%; 1000 mg/kg BW) occurred in the P3 group. Morphological features of pancreatic Langerhans cell damage were slightly high in the P1 group.Conclusion: P. malayana Jack can consider having an antidiabetic effect in a type 1 diabetic rat by reducing blood glucose levels.
