AimDevelopment of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is associated with disturbances in immune and metabolic status that may be reflected by an altered gene expression profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). To reveal a potential family predisposition to these alterations, we investigated the regulation of gene expression profiles in circulating CD14+ and CD14- PBMC in fasting conditions and in response to oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in glucose tolerant first-degree relatives (FDR) of T2DM patients and in control subjects.Materials and MethodsThis work is based on the clinical study LIMEX (NCT03155412). Non-obese 12 non-diabetic (FDR), and 12 control men without family history of diabetes matched for age and BMI underwent OGTT. Blood samples taken before and at the end of OGTT were used for isolation of circulating CD14+ and CD14- PBMC. In these cells, mRNA levels of 94 genes related to lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, immunity, and inflammation were assessed by qPCR.ResultsIrrespectively of the group, the majority of analyzed genes had different mRNA expression in CD14+ PBMC compared to CD14- PBMC in the basal (fasting) condition. Seven genes (IRS1, TLR2, TNFα in CD14+ PBMC; ABCA1, ACOX1, ATGL, IL6 in CD14- PBMC) had different expression in control vs. FDR groups. OGTT regulated mRNA levels of nine genes selectively in CD14+ PBMC and of two genes (ABCA1, PFKL) selectively in CD14-PBMC. Differences in OGTT-induced response between FDR and controls were observed for EGR2, CCL2 in CD14+ PBMC and for ABCA1, ACOX1, DGAT2, MLCYD, and PTGS2 in CD14- PBMC.ConclusionThis study revealed a different impact of glucose challenge on gene expression in CD14+ when compared with CD14- PBMC fractions and suggested possible impact of family predisposition to T2DM on basal and OGTT-induced gene expression in these PBMC fractions. Future studies on these putative alterations of inflammation and lipid metabolism in fractionated PBMC in larger groups of subjects are warranted.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of diabetes mellitus in the Basque Country and the risk factors involved in the disease by reassessing an adult population after 7 years of follow-up. In the previous prevalence study, 847 people older than 18 years were randomly selected from all over the Basque Country and were invited to answer a medical questionnaire, followed by a physical examination and an oral glucose tolerance test. In the reassessment, the same variables were collected and the resulting cohort comprised 517 individuals of whom 43 had diabetes at baseline. The cumulative incidence of diabetes was 4.64% in 7 years and the raw incidence rate was 6.56 cases/1000 person-years (95%CI: 4.11–9.93). Among the incident cases, 59% were undiagnosed. The most strongly associated markers by univariate analyses were age > 60 years, dyslipidaemia, prediabetes and insulin resistance. We also found association with hypertension, obesity, family history of diabetes and low education level. Multivariate analysis adjusted for age and sex showed that a set of risk factors assessed together (dyslipidaemia, waist-to-hip-ratio and family history of diabetes) had great predictive value (AUC-ROC = 0.899, 95%CI: 0.846–0.953, p = 0.942), which suggests the need for early intervention before the onset of prediabetes.

Background Diabetes mellitus is a common complication in pa-tients with thalassemia major. Iron overload plays an important roleby damaging the pancreatic β-cell and the liver cell, with the con-sequences of insulin deficiency and insulin resistance. Family his-tory of diabetes mellitus is one of the critical factors for the devel-opment of glucose metabolism derangement. However, the patho-genesis of glucose metabolism derangement remains unclear.Objective To evaluate the prevalence of impaired glucose toler-ance, diabetes mellitus, and insulin resistance in patients with β-thalassemia major treated in the Thalassemia Outpatient Clinic,Department of Child Health, Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital,Jakarta.Methods This was a descriptive cross sectional study conductedin May 2002. Forty-eight subjects aged 10 to 18 years, grouped bytotal volume of transfusions and family history of diabetes mellitus,underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), serum transfer-rin saturation, and insulin level examinations. Insulin resistancewas calculated from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concen-trations using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA).Results One of 48 patients (2%) had impaired glucose toleranceat the age of 17 years. Diabetes mellitus occurred in three of 48patients (6%) at the age of 15.5 years in one patient and 18 yearsin two patients. Family history of diabetes mellitus was found in 2patients with diabetes mellitus and in the only one with impairedglucose tolerance. Insulin resistance was not detected in this study.Conclusion The prevalence of glucose metabolism derangementin patients with thalassemia major was low. No insulin resistancewas found in this study

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is carbohydrate intolerance at the onset of pregnancy which induces pathological short term or long term outcomes for both mother and baby. The aim of the present study was to know the prevalence of GDM in pregnant women who were attending the antenatal care (ANC) center at a tertiary care hospital in Kolar, Karnataka, India.Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College, a constituent of Sri Devaraj Urs Academy of Higher Education and Research, Kolar, Karnataka, India. The duration of the study was two months. In this study, 108 pregnant women above 24 weeks of gestation were screened for GDM by oral glucose tolerance test. Fasting 2 milli liter blood was collected and were given 75 grams of glucose in 200 milli liters of water and asked to drink within 5 minutes. Again 2 milli liters venous blood was collected after 1 hour and 2 hours from all participants. Plasma sample was used for the estimation of glucose by glucose oxidase and peroxidase (GOD-POD) method.Results: Out of 108, 12 women (11.1%) were diagnosed with GDM. The prevalence rate was higher in the age group of 26-30 years (41.6%).  Among 12 diabetic women, five (47.2%) exercised regularly and seven (58.3%) did not doing exercise. Out of 12 GDM subjects, eight of them had family history of diabetes in first degree relatives; among which one was hypertensive and five were suffering from thyroid problems.Conclusions: In the present study, the prevalence of GDM was found to be 11.1%. Prevalence of GDM might be influenced by increasing age, pre pregnancy weight, family history of diabetes, past history of pregnancy complications, status of literacy and exercise.

Objectives: The present study was designed to find the importance of properscreening and early diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus. Study Design: A prospective/descriptive study Place of Study: tertiary care hospital Hyderabad. Duration of Study: fromSeptember 2014 to November 2014. Materials and Methods: A total of 168 pregnant femalesbetween the ages of 20-40 years & in their 24th to 28th week of gestation were enrolled for thestudy. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test of all the participants was done after an overnight fasting of10-12 hours. All the participants were given 75gm of glucose per 100 ml of distilled water. Theblood samples were collected after two hours time for serum glucose levels. Results: Mostof the participants were below 26 years of age 47(27.9%) with the mean age of 30.2±5.83years. However the highest prevalence of GDM was observed in age group 31-35 years (36%).Among the 25 cases of gestational diabetes mellitus the highest number of patients with GDMwere multipara (40%) followed by parity of 3-4 gravida (32%). Twenty seven women (16%)women had family history of diabetes mellitus. Among these 12/27 (44.4%) women were foundwith GDM, compared to 15/141 (10.6%) who have no family history of diabetes mellitus. Total14 (8.33%) women were found obese, out of these 8 (57%) women had GDM while only 6(42.8%) women had no GDM. Conclusion: The prevalence of GDM in the present study isfound to be 14.8%. A prevalence of GDM was higher in the elderly multiparous females whowere overweight and had family history of diabetes mellitus.

1п 1989-1990, a total of 94 children (43 boys and 51 girls) aged 2-15 years from radionuclide-polluted areas (Zones 2 to 4) divided into zones according to the level of contamination after the Chernobyl accident were examined. Obvious deviations in the children’s physical and mental development were not observed. There was a family history of diabetes mellitus (DM) (n= 1) and arterial hypertension (n - 1). Individual dosimetric data were absent. The basal levels of glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon, thyroxine, prolactin, and insulin-binding serum activity (IBSA) were determined in blood. According to the blood concentration of insulin, the children were divided into 3 groups: 1) children with normal basal levels; 2) those with not more than twice higher levels than the upper normal range; and 3) those with twice or more higher than the range (there was no correlation of the content of insulin with age, sex, the levels of glucagon, thyroxine, and IBSA). In all the groups, body-mass index (BMI), the levels of C-peptide and glucose, and IBSA were in the normal range. Group 3 children were tallest. The children from more polluted areas (Zones 2-3) had higher insulin levels. Adult victims without a family history of DM made up 2 groups. Group 1 included 119 liquidators of accident consequences (LA Cs) aged 22-48years at its moment who had been exposed to radioecological and psychogenic factors for a short space of time (not more than 3 months in Zone 1' in 1988 to early 1987) (SELACs). The basal blood concentrations of glucose, insulin, C-peptide, glucagon were measured at the stages of the 1988-1992follow-up. There were gradual increases in the levels of insulin and C-peptide with their peak in 1990 and subsequent decreases to normal values in 1992. Following 5-6years after the accident, the insulin test showed no hypoglycemic effect of the hormone in LACs with the normal BMI. Following 11-12 years after the accident, the oral glucose tolerance test (OGT) revealed enhanced insulin production. Group 2 comprised 78 LACs who had been exposed to radioecological and psychogenic factors in the zone of the Chernobyl atomic power station from 1986-1987 to 1993-1994) (LELACs). Of them, 16 LELACs suffered from type 2 DM within 3 years. The baseline blood concentrations of glucose and insulin were determined. The baseline level of insulin was increased, in patients with DM in particular. Thus, all the examined children and LACs were found to have hyperinsulinemia that might be directly or indirectly associated with the influence of radioecological factors of the accident and be a cause of metabolic syndrome X in both adults and children.

Objectives: To predict the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in ten years by applying FINDRISC. Methods: 131 patients were diagnosed pre-diabetes according to the ADA (2010) criteria using fasting plasma glucose, 2h after 75g oral glucose load and/or HbA1c. FINDRISC includes eight parameters: age, abdominal obesity, waist circumference, family history of diabetes, physical activity, history of increased glucose and using of anti-hypertensive medications and eating habit of vegetables fruits or berries. Results: In the eight element of FINDRISC, BMI and waist circumference, family history of diabetes, history of hypertension and antihypertensive drug use are risk factors are most important. The area under the curve order is 0.912; 0.879; 0.819; 0.720 and 0.664 respectively. Application FINDRISC- South Asian we recorded the optimal cut points 9 points (Se = 0.61, Sp = 0.85, p <0.001) to detect pre-diabetes and 15 points (Se = 1.00 and Sp=0.91, p< 0.0001) to detect diabetes. Risk of diabetes in 10 years by using FINDRISC-Asian scale is higher than using FINDRISC- European scale: 7.68% vs 4.91% in men, 9.64% vs 8.17% in female and 8.74% vs 6.68% for both sexes, respectively. Conclusion: We can use FINDRISC to predict the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, and screening type 2 undiagnosed diabetes mellitus in Vietnam if the BMI and waist circumference are change criteria for South Asia.
