BACKGROUND: The cytokine gene polymorphism is associated with the development of metabolic disorder conditions and infectious diseases such as Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and tuberculosis (TB) disease. AIM: The objective of the study is an attempt to examine the association of cytokine genes polymorphisms (IL1β+3954 C/T, IL18-137 G/C, and IL18-607 C/A) in T2DM-TB patients. METHODS: The cytokine genes polymorphisms (IL1β+3954 C/T, IL18-137 G/C, and IL18-607 C/A) were investigated in 46 T2DM-TB patients, 46 T2DM patients, and 46 healthy controls. Cytokine genes polymorphism was carried out by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value was calculated to determine the association between cytokine genes polymorphisms as the risk factor to T2DM-TB development. RESULTS: No association between genotypes and alleles of cytokine genes polymorphisms (IL1β+3954 C/T, IL18-137 G/C, and IL18-607 C/A) in T2DM-TB compared to control group (p = 0.434; OR = 0.373; 95% CI = 0.068-2.028 and p = 0.444; OR = 0.387; 95% CI = 0.073–2.046), (p = 0.833; OR = 0.915; 95% CI = 0.400–2.092 and p = 0.864; OR = 1.061; 95% CI = 0.541–2.078), and (p = 0.815; OR = 0.896; 95% CI = 0.357–2.246 and p = 0.882; OR = 0.957; 95% CI = 0.534–1.715). This study also found no association between genotypes and alleles of cytokine genes polymorphisms (IL1β+3954 C/T, IL18-137 G/C, and IL18-607 C/A) with T2DM-TB compared to T2DM group (p = 1; OR = 0.652; 95% CI = 0.104–4.094 and p = 1; OR = 0.659; 95% CI = 0.108–4.041), (p = 0.189; OR = 1.786; 95% CI = 0.749–4.262 and p = 0.098; OR = 1.857; 95% CI = 0.887–3.889), and (p = 0.374; OR = 1.488; 95% CI = 0619–3.579 and p = 0.365; OR = 1.316; 95% CI=0.727–2.382). CONCLUSION: There is no association of the cytokine genes polymorphisms (IL1β+3954 C/T, IL18-137 G/C, and IL18-607 C/A) in T2DM-TB compared to control and T2DM groups, and all cytokine genes polymorphisms not as the risk factor to T2DM-TB development in this population.

BACKGROUND:Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a major non-communicable disease resulting from insulin resistance and is associated with cardiovascular,neurological and renal complications.Recent studies show association of hyperuricemia and Diabetes Mellitus.Uric acid increases oxidative stress that leads to vascular dysfunction and high intra glomerular pressure leading to renal complications.High serum creatinine is an indicator of renal compromise. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to find association between them. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted in Osmania general hospital. Fifty cases of established Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus formed the study group and 50 normal healthy individuals formed the control group. Serum uric acid, Fasting Blood Glucose (FBS) and serum creatinine were estimated by colorimetric enzymatic methods on Beckman coulter AU5800.Mean values were compared in cases and controls using student t- test.Study group was further studied under 2 subgroups with serum Uric acid < 7 mg/dl and ≥7 mg/dl.In these 2 subgroups the association of Serum uric acid with FBS and creatinine was analysed statistically. RESULTS: Serum uric acid were found high in cases(7.63+/- 3.36)as compared to controls(4.48+/- 1.09) p value < 0.001.Serum creatinine were also high in cases(1.59+/- 1.39 )as compared to controls ( 0.87+/- 0.29) p value <0.005.Study subgroup with serum uric acid ≥7 mg/dl was associated with high creatinine and high fasting blood sugar levels when compared to subgroup with serum uric acid <7 mg/dl. CONCLUSION: Our study showed increased serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in cases when compared to controls.There was significant association between high serum uric acid and high creatinine levels in cases.Therefore,it is important to measure serum uric acid and serum creatinine levels in diabetics for early detection of renal pathology.

Introduction and Aim:The atherosclerosis is the major cause of morbidity and mortality among diabetes population. Diabetes mellitus can accelerate atherosclerotic processes. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) plays a significant role in both glucose and lipid metabolism through adenosine. This study aimed to correlate the atherosclerotic index with adenosine deaminase levels in Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The aim of the study is to find the association between serum ADA levels with atherosclerotic index.   Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study conducted in 100 subjects (50 control and 50 T2DM patients). The following biochemical parameter were estimated:total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, HDL- C and ADA. VLDL, LDL and other atherosclerotic index were calculated using formulae. Statistical analysis such as Student’s‘t’ test and Pearson’s correlation were performed.   Results: We found significant increase (p value <0.001) in lipid profile, Non-HDL-C and lipid ratio when compared to T2DM with control group. The correlation of serum ADA with lipid profile and lipid ratio didnot show any correlation.   Conclusion: Serum ADA used as a biomarker for evaluation of glycemic status. ADA was insignificant, when correlated with dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic index.

Diabetes mellitus hyperglycemia is a chronic disease characterized by the absence of insulin or a relative decrease in cell insensitivity to insulin that requires continuous treatment and ongoing self-management to prevent acute complications and reduce the risk of chronic complications. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is particularly by physical activity. This study aims to understand the difference between two exercise regimens on blood glucose levels reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test post-test control group design. 60 respondents were selected via random sampling and divided evenly into two groups of 30 individuals: 1) the treatment group; and 2) the control group. A Wilcoxon test performed on the treatment group yielded P-value = 0,005 < ? = 0,05 and a Wilcoxon test performed on the control group yielded P-value = 0,046 < ? = 0,05. The conclusion that can be drawn from this study is that physical activity has an effect of reducing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and, when comparing the differences in blood glucose level reduction, a combined regimen of putu sila and Tai Chi is more effective than Tai Chi alone.

Objective: To analyze the differences of early atherosclerosis indices in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with different degrees of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) and explore the correlation between them, so as to provide a new clinical basis for the prevention and treatment of early atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM and OSAHS. Methods. A prospective study was conducted in 312 patients with T2DM and snoring who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, Peking University International Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020. According to the monitoring results, 312 patients were divided into 4 groups including the control group (208 cases), mild OSAHS group (18 cases), moderate OSAHS group (38 cases), and severe OSAHS group (48 cases). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the early atherosclerosis indices including brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with T2DM coexistence with different degrees of OSAHS. Results. (1) As the degree of OSAHS increased, ABI decreased gradually and was lower than that in the control group, but PWV increased and was higher than that in the control group ( p < 0.05 , respectively). (2) The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) positively correlated with PWV ( r = 0.36 , p < 0.05 ) and negatively correlated with ABI ( r = − 0.37 , p < 0.05 ). (3) Multivariate logistic regression showed that after adjusting for age, gender, duration, BMI, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipid, and other factors, OSAHS was a risk factor of lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) in patients with T2DM. With the increase of degree of OSAHS, the risk of lower extremity atherosclerosis gradually increased. Conclusion. OSAHS is an independent risk factor of LEAD in patients with T2DM, and with the increase of AHI, the ABI and PWV have changed, which provides a new clinical basis for the prevention and the treatment of early atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM and OSAHS.

Abstract Background Adiponectin is associated with improved systemic insulin sensitivity and profound positive effects in adipose tissue, such as increasing mitochondrial density in adipocytes, reducing adipocyte size, and effective esterification of free fatty acids on lipid storage The factor performs forward transcriptional regulation. Diabetes and its complications are considered to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Objectives The aim of this study was to correlate serum levels of adiponectin with insulin resistance in Sudanese males' type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methodology: A case-control community-based study carried out among 126 patients with T2DM as cases group (mean ages 45.2 ± 5.4 years); and 126 normal healthy individuals as controls group (mean ages 44.7 ± 5.4 years as) in Aldaraga Diabetic Center, Wad Medani, Gezira State, Sudan. About Five mL of fasting venous blood was obtained from all participants. HbA1c, FPG, FPI, serum Adiponectin, and (HOMA)-IR were analyzed. SPSS (v 20.0) was used for data analysis. Results The mean of serum adiponectin in the cases group (3.03 ± 0.90µg/ml) was lower than the control group (6.02 ± 4.24µg/ml) giving highly significant differences -between them (P = value ≤ 0.000). HbA1c and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance index (HOMA-IR) differed significantly between the two groups (P-value ≤ 0.000). Serum adiponectin concentrations correlated significantly negative with HOMA IR (r = -0.149, P-value = 0.002). Conclusion We concluded that low plasma adiponectin level was predictive of future development of Insulin resistance in Sudanese males.

Abstract Objective The aim of the present study is to investigate the association of urinary calprotectin levels with lower extremities peripheral arterial disease (LEPAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Background calprotectin is formed by two different calcium- binding proteins; it constitutes about 40% of neutrophils all cytosolic proteins. Calprotectin or its components (S100A8/S100A9) consider as a potential therapeutic target in inflammatory conditions including diabetes mellitus. The ankle-brachial index of less than 0.9 was applied for LEPAD diagnosis. Method we recruited 60 patients with T2DM; half of them had LEPAD and a healthy control group consists of 30 participants. Urinary Calprotectin and high sensitivity CRP (hsCRP) were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay kit. Results Urinary calprotectin level was statistically significant higher among the three participating groups (p value &lt;0.001), however, in post-hoc analysis there was no difference between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with or without LEPAD (p value =0.993). However, urinary calprotectin was weakly associated with LEPAD severity (p value = 0.175, p value = 0.06 respectively).There was a statistically significant positive correlation between urinary calprotectin level and hsCRP (r = 0.65, p value 0.001). Conclusion Urinary calprotectin cannot be used as a biomarker for LEPAD in T2DM.
