Since periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus are complex diseases, a thorough understanding of their pathogenesis requires knowing the relationship of these pathologies with other disorders and environmental factors. In this study, the representability of the subgingival periodontal microbiome of 46 subjects was studied by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and shotgun sequencing of pooled samples. We examined 15 patients with chronic periodontitis (CP), 15 patients with chronic periodontitis associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (CPT2DM), and 16 healthy subjects (Control). The severity of generalized chronic periodontitis in both periodontitis groups of patients (CP and CPT2DM) was moderate (stage II). The male to female ratios were approximately equal in each group (22 males and 24 females); the average age of the subjects was 53.9 ± 7.3 and 54.3 ± 7.2 years, respectively. The presence of overweight patients (Body Mass Index (BMI) 30–34.9 kg/m2) and patients with class 1–2 obesity (BMI 35–45.9 kg/m2) was significantly higher in the CPT2DM group than in patients having only chronic periodontitis or in the Control group. However, there was no statistically significant difference in all clinical indices between the CP and CPT2DM groups. An analysis of the metagenomic data revealed that the alpha diversity in the CPT2DM group was increased compared to that in the CP and Control groups. The microbiome biomarkers associated with experimental groups were evaluated. In both groups of patients with periodontitis, the relative abundance of Porphyromonadaceae was increased compared to that in the Control group. The CPT2DM group was characterized by a lower relative abundance of Streptococcaceae/Pasteurellaceae and a higher abundance of Leptotrichiaceae compared to those in the CP and Control groups. Furthermore, the CP and CPT2DM groups differed in terms of the relative abundance of Veillonellaceae (which was decreased in the CPT2DM group compared to CP) and Neisseriaceae (which was increased in the CPT2DM group compared to CP). In addition, differences in bacterial content were identified by a combination of shotgun sequencing of pooled samples and genome-resolved metagenomics. The results indicate that there are subgingival microbiome-specific features in patients with chronic periodontitis associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the incurable cronic diseases. The patient’s dietary obedience is a principal component in diabetes treatment success. One of the efforts to increase dietary obedience behavior in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients is using a Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) principles approach. Diabetes Self Management Education (DSME) is the ongoing process of facilitating knowledge, skill and ability necessary for diabetes self care. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of DSME principles approach toward the dietary obedience behavior that consists of knowledge, attitude, and practice aspects in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Puskesmas Kebonsari Surabaya.Methods: A quasy experimental design was used in this study with 24 people as the sample which taken by using purposive sampling and divided into two groups (treatment and control group). A structured questionnaire and daily meal note for seven days were used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using Wilcoxon signed rank test and Mann Whitney U test with significant level α≤0.05. Result: The results showed that there was an influence of DSME principles approach after being applied to the treatment group and control group toward the dietary knowledge with the value of p=0.004 and p=0.083 respectively, the attitude of dietary obedience with p=0.025 and p=0.083 and the dietary obedience practice with p=0.002 and p=0.564.Discussion: The study showed that DSME approach had a significant influence toward the dietary obedience behavior in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. DSME principles approach used learning based on patient empowerment and behavior strategies. Ongoing support also contributed in maintaining progress achieved so that resulting dietary obedience behavior in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Larger respondents, more proper instruments and longer duration of study are needed to get a better results of the study concerning diabetic patient’s obedience in the future.

Abstract: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a structured group education program administered by a primary care nurse in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The sample included 137 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, randomized into two groups: intervention (5-week educational course and reinforcements every 4 months for one year) and control (with no structured diabetes mellitus education) with an evaluation of metabolic control, weight, blood pressure, distress scores, and knowledge on diabetes. There were no differences between the two groups in HbA1c at 4, 8, or 12 months when compared to baseline values. An increase in HbA1c was observed in the control group after adjusting for baseline HbA1c and insulin dose (p = 0.044 between groups). Knowledge scores and diabetes-related distress improved after the intervention. A structured educational program administered to type 2 diabetes mellitus patients seen at a primary care unit improved the knowledge and distress associated with the disease. The results also suggest the prevention of an increase in HbA1c.

Aim. Our aim was to study how different BMI scores may influence the levels of inflammation, oxidative stress, adipogenesis, glucose, and lipid metabolism, in lean, overweight, and obese Portuguese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods. We studied 28 lean, 38 overweight, and 17 obese patients with T2DM and 20 controls (gender and age matched). The circulating levels of oxLDL, CRP, and some adipokines—adiponectin, leptin, and chemerin—and the lipid profile were evaluated. Results. Obese patients presented significantly lower levels of adiponectin and higher leptin, oxLDL, and chemerin levels, as compared to the overweight, lean, and control groups. Overweight, compared to lean and control, subjects showed significantly lower adiponectin and higher leptin and chemerin levels; oxLDL values were significantly higher in overweight than in lean patients. Lean patients presented significantly higher chemerin values than the control. Obese patients presented significantly higher CRP values, as compared to lean patients and the control group. Obese and overweight patients presented significantly higher triglycerides values than lean patients. Except for CRP, all the observed significant changes between control and patients remained significant after statistical adjustment for the body mass index (BMI). Conclusion. The levels of leptin, adiponectin, oxLDL, CRP, and triglycerides in patients with T2DM seem to be more associated with obesity and less with diabetes. Chemerin levels were raised in lean, overweight, and obese patients, suggesting that, independently of BMI, an adipocyte dysfunction occurs. Moreover, chemerin may provide an important early biomarker of adipocyte dysfunction and a link between obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background. Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) require an adequate glycemic control to avoid diabetic complications. Currently, saliva biomarkers are used as a diagnostic tool and can be indicative of the degree of progression and control of various diseases. Several studies indicate thatα-2-macroglobulin levels are elevated in diabetic patients.Methods. 120 subjects with DM2 were enrolled and classified into two groups according to their glycemic control (percentage of glycated hemoglobin-A1c (HbA1c), <7% adequate glycemic control group; >7% inadequate glycemic control group). The relationship betweenα-2-macroglobulin levels from saliva samples and HbA1c was subsequently evaluated.Results. We found a positive correlation betweenα-2-macroglobulin and HbA1c (r=0.778andP<0.0001). Area under the receivers operating characteristic (ROC) curve ofα-2-macroglobulin indicated a positive discrimination threshold ofα-2-macroglobulin (AUC = 0.903, CI 95%: 0.847–0.959,P<0.0001) to diagnose glycemic control.Conclusions. Our data strongly suggest that the level of salivaα-2-macroglobulin is an indicator for the degree of glycemic control in diabetic patients and represents a promising alternative method to evaluate this parameter.

Aim. To study the relationship between changes in the artery structure and function and peripheral lymphocyte telomere length in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Materials and methods. A total of 50 patients with T2DM and without clinical manifestations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) were included in the study; the control group consisted of 49 people. The following tests were conducted for all study participants: carbohydrate metabolism evaluation, carotid artery duplex scan to measure intima?media complex thickness (IMT) and to determine the presence of atherosclerotic plaques, carotid?femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement and lymphocyte telomere length measurement. Results. The vascular changes were more pronounced in patients with T2DM than in controls. The telomeres were shorter in patients with T2DM than in those without diabetes (9.53?0.1 vs 9.86?0.1, p=0.033). The participants were divided according to the telomere length. Among patients with T2DM, there were significant differences in the condition of the vascular wall [PWV: 10.58?0.1 m/s in patients with ?long? telomeres and 15.08?1.3 m/s in patients with ?short? telomeres; IMT: 0.80?0.09 mm in patients with ?long? telomeres and 0.87?0.05 mm in patients with ?short? telomeres (p=0.024)]. There were no significant differences in the arterial structure between the patient and control groups with ?long? telomeres [PWV: 10.58?0.1 m/s vs 10.5?0.5 m/s (p=0.913); IMT: 0.080?0.09 mm vs 0.73?0.03 mm (p=0.12). However, there were significant differences in the vascular wall condition between the patient and control groups with ?short? telomeres [PWV: 15.08?1.3 m/s vs, 10.7?0.5 m/s (p=0.015); IMT: 0.87?0.1 vs 0.78?0.1 (p=0.03)]. Conclusions. The signs of vascular ageing were more pronounced in patients with T2DM than in controls. However, despite diabetes, vascular changes were minimal in patients with ?long? lymphocyte telomeres, comparable with the state of the vascular walls in healthy individuals. Thus, enhanced lymphocyte telomere length may have a protective effect on the vascular wall and may prevent damage from carbohydrate metabolism disorders.

o study the association of serum leptin and glucose/leptin ratio with microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus at different durations, and to predict their effect on their renal function. A case control study was conducted in the International Diabetic Center at Al-Mustansiryia University in Baghdad-Iraq from 1st September 2008 to the 30th of July 2010. One hundred and eight male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were introduced in this study. Fifty three healthy subjects were used as a control. Fasting serum glucose, insulin, leptin, urea, creatinine and body mass index were estimated in both patient and control groups. Fifty three 49.07% out of 108 were diabetic for ≤2 years, while 55 patient 50.93% were diabetic >2 years. All patients were obese while healthy control subjects were not. Fasting serum glucose, insulin and leptin levels were found elevated in patients group while in control group their levels were found within normal range. Both urea and creatinine were also within the normal range for patients and control groups. Level of albumin in urine of patients with diabetes mellitus for ≤ 2years was found normal while in those with 3 to 6 or more than 6 years of DM, level of urinary albumin was found within the micro rang. A positive correlation with highly significant p value (<0.01) was found between patients (≤ 2 years and >2 years) serum leptin, glucose/leptin ratio and microalbuminuria. Conclusions: a strong association was found between serum leptin and glucose/leptin ratio with microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients which can be used to predict the efficiency of their renal function at different durations and can be used as additional marker for the diagnosis of early stage of nephropathy.

Bioinformatic Analysis of Evolutional Conservatism and Functional Significance of Microsatellite Alleles of Human 14Q13.2 Region Associated with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus The paper deals with bioinformatic and statistical analysis of the possible functional significance of the previously shown association of several microsatellite alleles in intron 6 of the human proteasome core particle PSMA6 gene (HSMS006) and four other microsatellites localised upstream in human chromosome 14q13.2 (HSMS801, HSMS702, HSMS701, HSMS602) with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Latvia and Botnia, Finland. Genotype analysis revealed that (CAA)8/(CAA)8 homozygotes of the HSMS602 marker were never found in Type 2 diabetes patients, although 6.56% of the individuals from the control groups were the (CAA)8/(CAA)8 homozygotes. For the HSMS801 marker the (AC)21/(AC)23 genotype was never found in the case group and in the control group it was detected with a frequency 4.40%; these differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). In contrast to the Latvian population, the distribution of genotype frequencies in cases and controls taken from the Botnian dataset was almost similar. Haplotype analysis showed that in the Latvian population besides haplotypes including alleles differently represented in case and control groups, a combination of some alleles almost equally represented in both groups formed combinations that were more characteristic of either the case group or the control group. This indicates probable independent functional significance of these haplotypes that warrants further investigation. In the Botnian population, more allele combinations were observed, and the distribution of haplotypes in case and control groups differed from that observed in Latvia. The observed haplotype distributions might reflect differences between the studied populations: a homogenous and isolated Botnian vis-à-vis a mixed Latvian population. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis of data on the Latvian population revealed nine of ten two-allele combinations manifesting a high LD. HSMS006 and HSMS602 combination had a low LD; among the analysed markers these were situated at the largest distance from one another. Data on the Botnian population showed that haplotypes in eight of ten combinations had a high LD, including the HSMS006 and HSMS602 combinations. It appears that the two populations differ also in linkage disequilibrium of two-loci haplotypes. Theoretical analysis of a potential functional role of the polymorphisms indicated the significance of the microsatellite length of HSMS602 and HSMS006 for the formation of DNA hairpins. The whole genomic region appears to be conservative in mammals.

The objective of the present study was to identify the association of the TNF-α- 308G/A and leptin receptor (LEPR) Gln223Arg polymorphisms with the risk of development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: A total of 160 volunteers were studied: 108 with T2DM and 52 participants as control, who served as the control group. Polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) for the genomic region of TNF-α- 308G/A and LEPR Gln223Arg were carried out. Results: The frequency of LEPR Gln223Arg genotypes in T2DM and control groups showed significant differences in the distribution of genotypes (p < 0.05). The frequency also of TNF-α- 308G/A genotypes in T2DM and control subjects showed significant differences in the distribution of genotypes (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our results indicate that there are significant differences in the distribution of genotypes and alleles between the individuals with T2DM and control subjects (p < 0.05).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular complications including ischemia reperfusion injury (IR). Activation of mitochondrial KATP channels by Diazoxide (DZX) promotes beta cell rest and suppresses glucose production in patients. We hypothesized that DZX prevents IR arrhythmias in T2DM owing to its dual cardioprotective & antidiabetic property. Methods: Obese Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats (n=17) with established T2DM were studied. Control groups consisted of lean ZDF (n=6) and normal Sprague Dawley (n=10) rats. High resolution optical action potential (AP) mapping was performed in hearts before and after challenge with no flow ischemia for 12min followed by reperfusion. Results: Basal properties including rate dependence of conduction velocity (CV) and AP duration (APD) were not significantly (p=NS) altered in T2DM. Remarkably, ischemia uncovered major differences between groups as APD in T2DM failed to adapt to the ischemic challenge. Unlike APD, CV was reduced in all groups. DZX paradoxically promoted arrhythmias as all DZX (30uM) treated T2DM hearts exhibited ischemia related VT. In contrast, untreated T2DM (0/5) and control (0/9) hearts did not exhibit VT during ischemia. Underlying arrhythmic vulnerability of DZX treated T2DM hearts was a pronounced reduction (by 75% p<0.01) of the cardiac wavelength (WL) caused by accelerated APD shortening in response to ischemia. Upon reperfusion, T2DM and control groups exhibited a high (60% T2DM vs 44% control, p=NS) rate of VT, although the VT cycle length in T2DM was significantly longer (72 vs 44ms, p<0.01) suggesting a more adverse substrate modification by IR injury. Blocking the inner membrane anion channel (IMAC) fully abrogated reperfusion VT in T2DM. Conclusion: Ischemia uncovers a paradoxical resistance of T2DM hearts to APD adaptation. DZX reverses this property resulting in accelerated APD & WL shortening. This promotes reentrant VT during ischemia. Therefore, the anti-diabetic agent DZX should be avoided in T2DM patients at risk of ischemic events. Instead IMAC is an effective antiarrhythmic target for these patients.

Introduction: The incidence of diabetes mellitus is increasing rapidly with interference in electrolytes sodium (Na+), potassium (K+) and chloride (Cl-). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is rapidly rising all over the globe at an alarming rate. Objective: Study of serum electrolyte levels in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Material and methods: Total of 100 subjects were included in the study, out of which two groups were formed; 50 type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and 50 controls. Centrifuged serum was analyzed for estimation of Na+, K+ and Cl- level by the Accustar auto analyzer. Results: In type 2 diabetes mellitus serum Na+ level was observed significantly decreased while Cl- and K+ levels were increased. Both the electrolytes (Na+ Cl-) differ significantly in diabetes and control group. Conclusion: Electrolyte metabolism is disturbed in type 2 diabetes mellitus and proper glycemic control and evaluation of electrolyte levels can reduce the fatalities associated with electrolyte derangement in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
