AIM: The objective of the study was to determine the role of irisin in adolescent type 1 diabetic patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-five type 1 diabetic patients and 50 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Serum irisin, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL), urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, carotid intimal-medial thickness (cIMT), and aortic intimal medial thickness (aIMT) were assessed for all participants in the study. RESULTS: HbA1c, albumin/creatinine ratio, lipid profile, OxLDL, irisin, cIMT, and aIMT were significantly higher in diabetic patients. Irisin had a positive correlation with age of diabetic patients, onset of diabetes, mid-arm circumference, waist/height ratio, body mass index, HbA1c, and cIMT. CONCLUSION: Irisin is a marker for detection of diabetes control and early detection of subclinical atherosclerosis. Irisin had a relation with obesity.

AIM: To evaluate copeptin as an early marker of atherosclerosis in adolescent type 1 diabetics. METHODS: Sixty-two type 1 diabetic patients and 50 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the study. Serum copeptin, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, oxidised low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL), urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, carotid intimal medial thickness (cIMT), aortic intimal medial thickness (aIMT) and resistivity index were assessed for all participant in the study. RESULTS: HbA1, albumin/creatinine ratio, lipid profile, OxlDL, copeptin, cIMT and aIMT were significantly higher in diabetic patients. Copeptin was higher in patients with positive cIMT and aIMT. Copeptin correlated with cIMT and aIMT. Stepwise multiple regression analysis found that copeptin correlated with aIMT. ROC curve showed that copeptin had 100 % specificity with aIMT and cIMT and 95.2 and 60,7 sensitivity with aIMT and cIMT respectively. CONCLUSION: Copeptin can be used as a marker for early detection of atherosclerosis of type 1 diabetic patients.

AIM: To evaluate intrarenal resistivity index (RI) and different biomarkers of diabetic nephropathy (DN) with clinical signs of DN and its progression over time as early detection of DN.PATIENTS AND METHODS: This longitudinal study included 48 type 1 diabetic patients who were studied at baseline and after three years. A blood sample was taken for assessment of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1), lipid profile and a urine sample was taken for assessment of albumin/creatinine ratio, Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) and kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1) at baseline and after three years. Forty diabetic patients did renal Doppler at baseline & after three years.RESULTS: HbA1, waist/hip ratio, albumin/creatinine ratio, lipid profile, NGAL, KIM-1, L-FABP and resistivity index (RI) were significantly increased in follow-up. Twenty patients (41.7%) showed progression to albuminuria. RI showed a significant increase in follow-up study. ROC curve showed that RI and NGAL had the highest sensitivity (100%), followed by L-FABP (90%) and lastly KIM-1 (63.6%) in the prediction of DN.CONCLUSION: High RI, NGAL, KIM-1 & L-FABP can be considered as early markers of diabetic nephropathy in type 1 diabetics and are associated with its progression over time, independent of albuminuria.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to compare resistivity index (RI) in type 1 diabetic patients and normal controls and to evaluate whether high RI is associated with different biomarkers of diabetic nephropathy (DN) as early detection of DN offers the best chance of delaying or possibly preventing progression to end-stage renal disease.The study included 62 type 1 diabetic patients and 30 healthy volunteers of the same age and sex. Blood samples were taken for assessment of glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid profile and urine samples were taken for assessment of albumin/creatinine ratio, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) and kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1). Forty-five diabetic patients and 30 controls had a renal Doppler ultrasonography. t-Test or Mann Whitney U-test for independent variables, Pearson’s or Spearman correlation analysis were used.The mean age of diabetic patients was 16.3±1.5 years, and mean duration of diabetes was 9.4±2.9 years. RI, albumin/creatinine ratio, NGAL, Kim-1 and L-FABP were significantly higher in diabetics than in controls. RI, NGAL, Kim-1, and L-FABP were significantly higher in microalbuminuric compared to normoalbuminuric diabetics. In normoalbuminuric diabetics, RI, NGAL, Kim-1 and L-FABP were significantly higher compared to controls. The study revealed significant positive correlation between the RI in diabetics and both KIM-1 and albumin/creatinine ratio.Increased RI and renal biomarkers in diabetics are early sensitive specific markers of DN, even preceded the development of microalbuminuria, denoting that they can be used as an early and sensitive markers for early detection of DN.

AIM: To assess the risk factor for diabetic atherosclerosis nephropathy and diabetic nephropathy in type 1 diabetic patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Thirty healthy volunteers age and sex-matched and Sixty-five type 1 diabetic patient were in rolled in the study. The mean age of patients was 17.99 ± 2.59 years, mean age of onset of diabetes was 7.00 ± 3.28 years, mean duration of diabetes was 10.91 ± 3.54 years. Glycosylated sex-matched (HbA1c) was assessed in blood samples, serum lipid profile was determined, and serum level of oxidised low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL), and nitric oxide was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Nitric oxide 894G > T genotype was analysed by (PCR-RFLP) method and confirmed by Sequencing. Assessment of the albumin / creatinine ratio was done in urine samples. Renal Doppler and Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) via ultrasound was also performed. RESULTS: OxLDL, lipid profile, albumin/creatinine ratio, cIMT and resistivity index were significantly higher in diabetic patients while nitric oxide was significantly lower. Nitric oxide genotype shows no significant difference between diabetic’s patients and controls. Diabetic patients with homozygous NO had a significantly lower serum level of Nitric oxide, a significantly higher OxLDL, albumin / creatinine ratio and lipid profile. CONCLUSION: diabetic patients are liable for the occurrence of early diabetic nephropathy and atherosclerosis as a result of the presence of low level of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide gene polymorphism 894G > T in diabetic patients is a risk factor for diabetic nephropathy and atherosclerosis.

AbstractTo assess carotid intimal medial thickness (cIMT) in adolescent type 1 diabetic patients and to detect its relation with echocardiographic changes and flow mediated dilatation (FMD) in the brachial artery.The study included 62 type 1 diabetic patients and 30 healthy volunteer of the same age and sex. A blood sample was taken for analysis of glycosylated hemoglobin and lipid profile and a urine sample was taken for analysis of albumin/creatinine ratio. cIMT, echocardiography, and FMD via ultrasound were also done; t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test (for non-symmetrically distributed data) for independent variables and Pearson’s or Spearman correlation were used.The mean age of patients was 16.3±1.5 years and mean duration of diabetes was 9.4±2.9 years. cIMT (Rt, Lt, and both Rt and Lt) were significantly higher, while FMD and FMD/nitrate mediated dilatation (NMD) ratio was significantly lower in diabetics. Rt cIMT had a significant negative correlation with FMD and FMD/NMD. cIMT had a significant positive correlation with left ventricular end diastolic dimension, inter ventricular septum thickness, peak mitral flow velocity during early diastole/peak mitral flow velocity during late diastole, left ventricular mass, and left ventricular mass index (p<0.05). In addition, cIMT had a significant correlation with waist circumference, waist/height ratio, albumin/ creatinine ratio, total cholesterol, and triglyceride.We conclude that alteration in myocardial function and vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by diabetes mellitus may begin early with the association of early atherosclerotic changes.

AbstractOur objective was to evaluate the relationship of plasma level of chemerin and vaspin to early atherosclerotic changes and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) in adolescent type 1 diabetic patients.The study included 62 type 1 diabetic patients and 30 healthy volunteers of the same age and sex. Blood samples were taken for assessment of chemerin, vaspin, asymmetric dimenthylarginine (ADMA), and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique. Also, blood samples were taken for analysis of glycosylated hemoglobin; lipid profiles and urine samples were taken for assessment of albumin/creatinine ratio. Twenty-four-hour holter [for assessment of time domain heart rate variability (HRV)] and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) were also done. The t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test for independent variables, Pearson’s or Spearman’s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression analysis were used.The mean age of diabetic patients was 16.3±1.5 years, and mean duration of diabetes was 9.4±2.9 years. Chemerin, vaspin, OxLDL, and albumin/creatinine ratio were significantly higher, whereas ADMA was significantly lower than the controls. By stepwise multiple regression analysis, vaspin had a relation with a standard deviation difference RR (SDARR) and waist/height ratio. Conversely, chemerin had a relation with OxLDL. Albumin/creatinine ratio had a significant positive correlation with chemerin and OxLDL, and a negative correlation with ADMA.Type 1 diabetic patients had impaired time domain HRV associated with increased CIMT. Vaspin had a significant relation to CAN, whereas chemerin, ADMA, and OxLDL had a significant correlation with albumin/creatinine ratio that reflects their role in renal affection.

AIM: To evaluate the relationship of apelin and nitric oxide (NO) to endothelial dysfunction in type 1 diabetics.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty two type 1 diabetics and 30 healthy age and sex matched controls were included. Blood samples for apelin, NO, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and lipid profile were collected. Albumin/creatinine ratio was assessed in urine. Flow mediated dilatation (FMD) via ultrasound was done.RESULTS: The mean age of diabetics were 16.3 ± 1.5 yrs (14.0 – 19.0 yrs), and duration of disease, were 9.4 ± 2.9 yrs (5.0 – 16.5 yrs). FMD and FMD/nitrate mediated dilatation (NMD) ratio were lower in diabetics. NO was decreased, while apelin and albumin/creatinine ratio were increased significantly in diabetics. There was a positive correlation between apelin and HbA1c. On the contrary, NO had a negative correlation with HbA1c, albumin/creatinine ratio, LDL-c and OxLDL.CONCLUSION: Diabetic patients had endothelial dysfunction and high apelin level, with no related to each other. High level of apelin is associated with bad glycemic control. Obesity had no role to increase in apelin level. NO is related to diabetic nephropathy and atherosclerosis. We recommend a further large study to evaluate the relationship of apelin with endothelial dysfunction.

AbstractTo evaluate new biomarkers such as YKL-40, preptin, and nitric oxide (NO) in patients with diabetes and to assess its relation to cardiorenal injury.The study included 62 patients with type 1 diabetes and 30 healthy volunteers. Blood sample was taken for assessment of glycosylated hemoglobin, lipid profile, YKL-40, preptin, and NO. Also, urine sample was taken for analysis of albumin/creatinine ratio. Echocardiography was also done.NO was lower, whereas YKL-40, preptin, and albumin/creatinine ratio were significantly higher in patients with diabetes. NO had a significant negative correlation with LVEDD, LVESD, PWT, LV mass, YKL-40, preptin, and albumin/creatinine ratio. YKL-40 had a significant positive correlation with waist/height ratio, preptin and negative correlation with E/A ratio. Stepwise multiple regression revealed that E/A ratio is the only parameter related to YKL-40. On the contrary, NO and systolic blood pressure are related to preptin.A significant reduction of NO and elevation of YKL-40 and preptin was found in patients with diabetes. A decrease in NO is associated with diastolic dysfunction, LV hypertrophy, and renal impairment, whereas YKL-40 is associated with diastolic dysfunction. An increase in preptin level was associated with hypertension.
