Introduction. Neurofunctional state is an essential criterion in assessing the quality of the regulatory mechanisms of autonomic and somatic functions that determine the prognosis and course of vibration disease associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Objective of the study is to identify neurophysiological signs of changes in the functional state of the nervous system in patients with vibration disease caused by the combined effects of local and general vibration (VD com.) in combination with DM2. Materials and Methods. The group I included (n = 33) - VD com. patients, group II - 30 cases with VD com., burdened with DM2. We used neuroenergy mapping (NEM), registration of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP). Statistica software was used for statistical processing. Results. Analysis of the severity of changes in DC-potential level in both groups established a statistically significant predominance of persons with an increased average DC-potential level. In group II, when compared with group I, there was an increase in the latency of components N9, N10, N11, N13, N18, N20, N25, N30, bipolar DC-potential level Cz-Pz, local DC-potential level in the central lead of the right hemisphere, decrease in DC-potential level in the central parietal region, bipolar pote ntials Fpz -Ts, Cz-Td, Pz-Oz. As a result of discriminant analysis, the following signs were obtained: indices of the latent period of the peak N13, the duration of the interpeak interval N10-N13, DC-potential level of the central parietal, right central, frontal right, frontal central leads. Discussion. The presence of DM2 in VD com. patients accompanied by disturbances in the neurofunctional state caused by a slowdown in the passage of an afferent impulse at the peripheral and central levels, a decrease in energy exchange in the frontal, central-parietal regions with its increase in the occipital, temporal parts of both hemispheres. Conclusion. Neurophysiological signs of changes in the functional state of the nervous system in VD com. patients with DM2 are a decrease in DC-potential level in the parietal central, frontal central, an increase in the latent period of the peak N13, the duration of the inter-peak interval N10-N13, DC-potential level in the central and frontal regions of the right hemisphere of the brain.

Physical and chemical factors, obesity, lipid metabolism disorder, diabetes affect the state of the vascular endothelium, the processes of thrombus formation, fibrinolysis and increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. It can be assumed that the development and course of pathological processes in the cardiovascular system, caused by vibration disease with the onset of diabetes, will undergo changes. The purpose of the study was to assess the state of heart condition according to the level of specific autoantibodies with the combined effect of vibration disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients with vibration disease (group I), patients with type 2 diabetes (group II) and persons with vibration disease in combination with type 2 diabetes (group III) were examined. Individuals do not have a history of coronary heart disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction have been included in obsledrovanie. Serum levels of specific autoantibodies characterizing the state of the heart have been studied. It was revealed that the content of autoantibodies to 1-adrenoreceptors in patients of group I was higher than in individuals of group II. The relative content of autoantibodies to the components of the membrane and cytoplasm of myocardial cells in patients of groups I-III did not differ. It was found that elevated levels of autoantibodies to components of the membrane and cytoplasm of myocardial cells, cardiomyosin, 1-adrenoreceptors were observed more often in patients with vibration disease combined with diabetes and in persons with vibration disease than in people with diabetes. Persons with a reduced content of autoantibodies to 1-adrenergic receptors were not detected among patients of groups I and III. Changes in the levels of specific autoantibodies in persons with vibration disease may indicate the development of functional metabolic and structural changes in the heart, disorders of its electrical activity that have not yet been manifested in the form of a pathological process. Lower levels of 1-adrenoceptor autoantibodies in patients with type 2 diabetes without vibration disease can be caused by increased levels of catecholamines, which is characteristic of diabetics. Further research, including clinical data and indicators of functional diagnostics is necessary to confirm our assumptions.

Background: Reliability studies are used to verify the evaluation accuracy of a given device. Strength is an important factor for the development of daily activities and its correct management is fundamental. The objective of this study was to examine the reliability of a concentric strength test in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: Twenty-seven individuals with T2DM performed three repetitions of extension-flexion in concentric-concentric action at 60°/s, for both legs, using an isokinetic dynamometer. For the reliability analysis, we performed an intra-session test retest. Results: The total sample and men sub-group intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) values were excellent for peak torque and work. In the women sub-group, ICC values were excellent for extensors in both peak torque and work; however, concerning flexor, the ICC values were good for peak torque while, for work, they were good for the right leg and moderate for the left leg. Standard error of measurement (SEM) percentage oscillated from 3.85% to 6.80%, with the smallest real difference (SRD) percentage being from 10.66% to 18.86% for peak torque. Furthermore, the SEM (%) was around 5.5% and SRD (%) was around 15% for work. Conclusions: The isokinetic dynamometry had “good” to “excellent” relative reliability for peak torque (0.862–0.983) and work (0.744–0.982) of extension-flexion in concentric-concentric action at 60°/s. In addition, our study showed that, in general, an SRD < 20% could indicate a true change in strength regarding this protocol in T2DM.

THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY is to carry out an analysis of the literature evaluating diabetic encephalopathy by determining neuromarkers. MATERIAL AND METHODS. In this article, the authors analyzed the literature on the role of neuromarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing program hemodialysis. RESEARCH RESULTS. Among biochemical markers, the determination of the level of neurospecific proteins is actively being investigated. The main part of them is autoantigens, entering the bloodstream, can cause the appearance of autoantibodies, which, when the blood-brain barrier is impaired, enter the brain from the blood vessel and cause morphological changes, destructive processes in neurons, as well as the development of nonspecific acute-phase reactions like edema or inflammation. Biomarker studies for the diagnosis of various brain lesions have been under way for more than 20 years, but at present no ideal biomarker has been found. Among biochemical markers, the determination of the level of neurospecific proteins is being actively studied. In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing hemodialysis, this issue is also relevant in view of the frequent vascular cerebrovascular complications, but few studies have been conducted. CONCLUSIONS. All of the above emphasizes the need to identify the features of clinical and functional changes in the nervous system in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus receiving program hemodialysis and to evaluate the prognostic value of neuromarkers in early detection of the degree of brain damage.

Introduction: Osteoporosis and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) are common medical conditions in the society with an increasing prevalence in elderly people. Osteoporosis is more common in female than male and postmenopausal women are vulnerable to it.   Objective: The aim of this study was to verify the effect of type-2 diabetes mellitus on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women and, thereby, to evaluate the risk of osteoporosis in them.   Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out at National institute of Nuclear Medicine and Allied Sciences (NINMAS), BSMMU campus, Shahbagh, Dhaka, over a period of one year. 175 postmenopausal women were enrolled as study subjects, among them 72 (41.10%) were diabetic and rest 103 (59.90%) were nondiabetic and they were assigned as Group-I and Group-II respectively. The bone mineral density (BMD) was measured by central DEXA device at lumbar spines and left femoral neck of each study subject.   Results: The mean (±SD) ages of group-I and group-II were 58.79 (±8.06) and 58.27 (±8.39) respectively with an age range of 45 to 75 years in both cases. A total of 30 (41.66%) patients in diabetic group (group-I) and 40 (38.83%) patients in non-diabetic (group-II) had osteoporosis at lumbar spines. On the other hand, 40 (56.94%) patients in group-I and 58 (56.31%) patients in group-II had osteoporosis at femoral neck. The Odds Ratios of osteoporosis for lumbar spines and femoral. neck were 1.125 and 1.026 respectively. The differences of frequencies of osteoporosis between group-I and group-II were not statistically significant at any anatomical site and the association between osteoporosis and type-2 diabetes mellitus was not significant. According to Odds Ratio type-2 diabetes mellitus was not a risk factor for developing osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.   Conclusion: Postmenopausal women are prone to develop osteoporosis and type-2 diabetes mellitus may have adverse influence on osteoporosis, which was supported by few previous studies. This study could not establish any significant effect of type-2 diabetes mellitus on osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.Bangladesh J. Nuclear Med. 18(1): 21-26, January 2015

Background. Today, issues of renoprotection have gone beyond the use of antihypertensive therapy alone. Stable glucose-lowering and urate-lowering therapy are integral parts of modern renoprotection, which improve the functional state of the kidneys by increasing the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and reducing the albumin excretion rate (AER) and the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR). Nevertheless, hypoazotemic therapy aimed at reducing the content of nitrogenous wastes remains the leading component of the treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The aim of the study is the assessment of the renoprotective potential of the drug Libera (Lespedeza capitata) in patients with CKD stages 2–3 on the background of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Materials and methods. The study included 107 patients with type 2 DM, aged 19 to 75 years (female — 41.1 %, male — 58.9 %), CKD stages 2–3, micro- and macroalbuminuria (category A2 and A3). The patients were divided into two groups: group I — traditional stable glucose-lowering and antihypertensive therapy (n = 50) and group II — traditional stable glucose-lowering and antihypertensive therapy in combination with Libera (Lespedeza capitata) (n = 57), which was prescribed 1 capsule t.i.d. regardless of food intake for 3 months. The criteria for the effectiveness of treatment were dynamics of GFR, AER/ACR in daily urine. The observation period for the patients was 3 months. Results. The renoprotective potential of Lespedeza capitata (Libera) was demonstrated after 3 months of treatment in the form of a significant increase in GFR in patients with CKD stage 2 in group II up to 79.0 ± 1.4 ml/min/1.73 m2 in comparison with the initial data (p < 0.01) and the results obtained in group I after 3 months of using only traditional stable glucose-lowering and antihypertensive therapy (p < 0.05). The use of Libera in the complex treatment of patients of the II group with CKD stage 3 against the background of type 2 DM for 3 months had a positive effect on nitrogen and water excretory kidney function, which manifested itself in an improvement in GFR to 56.6 ± 2.1 ml/min/1.73 m2 in comparison with the initial data (p < 0.05) and the results obtained in group I — 50.8 ± 1.9 ml/min/1.73 m2 (p < 0.05). In group I with traditional stable glucose-lowering and antihypertensive therapy, only 3 patients (9.1 %) transferred from category A2 to category A1 (normoalbuminuria) after 3 months and 2 patients (11.8 %) from category A3 to category A2. In group II, the appointment of Lespedeza capitata (Libera) in combination with stable glucose-lowering and antihypertensive therapy facilitated the transfer of 10 patients (27.8 %) from category A2 to A1 and 7 patients (33.3 %) from category A3 to A2 (p < 0.001). Conclusions. Lespedeza capitata (Libera) in combination with traditional stable glucose-lowering and antihypertensive therapy contributes to the preservation and improvement of the filtration function of the kidneys, a decrease in AER/ACR in patients with CKD stage 2–3 (3a і 3b) against the background of type 2 DM and proves renoprotective efficiency and safety.

Currently, diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex global problem, which is increasing every year. So, in 2019, diabetes mellitus was detected in 463 million adults (from 20 to 79 years old) in the world. And the main cause of death in patients with diabetes mellitus is cardiovascular complications. The study was aimed investigate the features of functional and structural changes in the heart in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nephropathy. A total of 98 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were examined, out of which 78 patients had diabetic nephropathy (DN) of varying severity. The control group consisted of 20 healthy patients. After a clinical examination, depending on the state of renal function, all patients were divided into the following groups: group I — patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without signs of nephropathy (n = 36), group II — patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria (n = 33), group III — patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with decreased GFR and albuminuria (n = 29). To study changes in hemodynamics and structural parameters of the heart, patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography on an ULTIMA PA ultrasound machine (Radmir, Ukraine) using a sectoral phased transducer with a frequency range of 2–3 MHz according to the standard technique based on the recommendations of the American Echocardiographic Society. To determine indexing indicators, the patients underwent anthropometric measurements. Patients with DN and albuminuria and decreased GFR showed an increase in the linear dimensions of the heart in comparison with controls and patients without signs of nephropathy. With DN, patients have a significant increase in left ventricular mass and a significant increase in the detection rate of left ventricular hypertrophy up to 91.3 % in patients with albuminuria and preserved renal function and up to 100 % with a decrease in GFR.

Hypoglycemic therapy over the past 20 years has expanded considerably with the use of new classes of more effective and safer medicines. Alongside the aging of the general population, the survival of diabetic subjects has significantly increased, thus exposing them to a greater risk of developing co-morbidities. This represents a challenge for the diabetologist, who must acquire ever broader concepts for the management of a complex and multi-organ disease. We report the case of a 72-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes mellitus and pulmonary adenocarcinoma of the right upper lobe with brain and bone metastases who, subjected to innovative and integrated treatments agreed between specialists of different disciplines, is still alive and free of cancer symptoms 23 months after diagnosis (Diabetology)
