- The Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat represents a model of hereditary non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), characterized by nonobesity, mild hyperglycemia from early life, impaired glucose tolerance test results, and a markedly defective insulin response to glucose. The rats develop signs of both nephropathy and neuropathy, but, to our knowledge, retinal changes have not been reported so far in this model of NIDDM. Hence, the aim of the present study was to assess whether morphological vascular changes could be demonstrated in retinal vessel preparations of GK rats. The endothelial/pericyte ratio was found to be higher in GK rats aged 8 months as well as after 24-30 months compared to their matched controls (2.3 +/- 0.2 versus 2.0 +/- 0.1; p < 0.01, and 2.6 +/- 0.2 versus 1.9 +/- 0.1; p < 0.001, respectively). Furthermore, in 24 to 30-months-old GK rats, the endothelial/pericyte ratio was higher than in 8 month old GK rats (p < 0.05). Thus, the GK rat appears to be a suitable model for experimental studies of chronic complications, including diabetic retinopathy, in NIDDM.

- We report findings in 223 consecutively included people with diabetes, foot ulcer and a deep foot infection treated by a multidisciplinary diabetic foot care team at the University Hospital in Lund, Sweden. The aim of the present study was to evaluate type and characteristics of deep foot infections and their relation to choice of treatment and outcome. Three different groups of deep foot infections were identified; osteomyelitis only (n = 112), deep soft tissue infection only (n = 46) and combined infections (osteomyelitis and deep soft tissue infection, n = 65). The various types of deep foot infections had different characteristics, treatment and prognosis. Patients with a deep soft tissue infection only or a combined infection had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher; (1) body temperature (38.0 and 38.0 vs. 37.3°C), (2) erythrocyte sedimentation rate (75 and 80 vs. 56 mm/h) and (3) white blood count (11.0 and 12.0 vs. 8 x 109) at diagnosis compared with those who had osteomyelitis only. Patients with a deep soft tissue infection only or a combined infection also had a significantly (p < 0.05) shorter time to surgery (2 and 4 vs. 10 days), higher mean number of surgical procedures (1.9 and 2.1 vs. 1.4 procedures) and higher percentage of patients had intravenous antibiotics (87 and 84 vs. 46%) compared with those who had osteomyelitis only. Amputation before healing was more common in patients with a combined infection (62%) compared with those who had osteomyelitis only (37%) or a deep soft tissue infection only (30%). The findings in the present study indicate that deep foot infections in patients with diabetes is a heterogeneous entity, in which the type of deep foot infection is related to choice of treatment strategy and to outcome. Therefore, these various types of infections has to be considered in future studies of deep foot infections in people with diabetes. Copyright (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Fifty-six type I diabetic patients with microalbuminuria (albumin excretion rate 20-200 micrograms/min) were characterized as to sex, age, duration of diabetes, smoking habits, blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, urinary NC1 (the carboxy-terminal domain of collagen IV), and Tamm-Horsfall protein excretion rate. Albumin excretion rate was considered a sign of glomerular damage, NC1 excretion rate a measure of renal basement membrane turnover, and Tamm-Horsfall protein excretion rate a marker for distal tubular function. There were no differences between males and females and between smokers and nonsmokers with respect to blood pressure, body-mass index, albumin excretion rate, glomerular filtration rate, excretion rate of NC1, and Tamm-Horsfall protein. As a group, the patients with microalbuminuria had normal glomerular filtration rate, excretion rate of NC1, and Tamm-Horsfall protein. The latter was influenced by glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels, especially so in patients with an albumin excretion rate less than the median value of 53.0 micrograms/min (r = -0.61, p < 0.01). Furthermore, both excretion rate of NC1 and Tamm-Horsfall protein were increased in patients with high glomerular filtration rate > or = 130 mL min-1 1.73 m-2). There was no association between glomerular filtration rate and HbA1c levels. As glomerular filtration rate is related to kidney size, these observations suggest that patients with a high glomerular filtration rate have an increased mass and turnover of tubular basement membrane.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- To describe the impact of a history of diabetes mellitus on the improvement of symptoms and various aspects of quality of life (QoL) during 5 years after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients who underwent CABG between 1988 and 1991 in western Sweden were approached with an inquiry prior to surgery and 5 years after the operation. QoL was estimated with three different instruments: Physical Activity Score (PAS), Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) and Psychological General Well-Being (PGWB) index. 876 patients participated in the evaluation, of whom 87 (10%) had a history of diabetes. Symptoms of dyspnea and chest pain improved both in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Diabetic patients scored worse than non-diabetic patients both prior to and 5 years after CABG, but without any major difference in improvement between the two groups with all three measures of QoL. PAS tended to improve more in non-diabetic than in diabetic patients, whereas improvement in NHP and PGWB was similar regardless of a history of diabetes. Diabetic patients differ from non-diabetic patients having an inferior QoL both prior to and 5 years after CABG. Both diabetic and non-diabetic patients improve in symptoms and QoL after the operation. In some aspects improvement tended to be less marked in the diabetic patients but on the whole improvement was similar compared to non-diabetic patients.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two common complaints related to diabetes mellitus are oral dryness (xerostomia) and peripheral neuropathy (PN) and there is some evidence of a relationship between them. Therefore, we formulated a hypothesis that type 2 diabetic subjects with xerostomia in our study also exhibited PN. The study included 102 randomly sampled type 2 diabetic patients from a healthcare district in mid-Sweden. Besides clinical and X-ray examinations, patients were asked whether they experienced oral dryness. PN was defined through thorough foot examination and the use of a modified neuropathy symptom score (NSS) and neuropathy disability score (NDS). Other diabetes-related variables were extracted from medical records. More than half of the individuals (53.5%) reported oral dryness and 23.8% were diagnosed with PN. None of the variables in a stepwise regression analysis could explain the variance in oral dryness, besides "pain in the legs," which contributed with 5% to the explanation. Our hypothesis that type 2 diabetic subjects with xerostomia also were affected with PN could not be verified in this study, but the results must be interpreted with caution as relatively few subjects were affected with both oral dryness and PN (13.8%). Further and larger controlled studies are needed before the hypothesis can be definitely rejected. Despite our incomplete understanding about the relation between oral dryness and PN, professionals in oral health as well as in primary health have to strive for increased knowledge in this field. ⌐ 2003 Elsevier Inc.

- AIM: To examine the prevalence and the clinical characteristics associated with normoalbuminuric renal impairment (RI) in a general type 2 diabetes (T2D) population. METHODS: We included 94 446 patients with T2D (56% men, age 68.3±11.6years, BMI 29.6±5.3kg/m(2), diabetes duration 8.5±7.1years; means±SD) with renal function (serum creatinine) reported to the Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR) in 2009. RI was defined as estimated glomerular filtration (eGFR)<60ml/min/1.73m(2) and albuminuria as a urinary albumin excretion rate (AER)>20μg/min. We linked the NDR to the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register, and the Swedish Cause of Death and the Hospital Discharge Register to evaluate ongoing medication and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: 17% of the patients had RI, and 62% of these patients were normoalbuminuric. This group of patients had better metabolic control, lower BMI, lower systolic blood pressure and were more often women, non-smokers and more seldom had a history of cardiovascular disease as compared with patients with albuminuric RI. 28% of the patients with normoalbuminuric RI had no ongoing treatment with any RAAS-blocking agent. Retinopathy was most common in patients with RI and albuminuria (31%). CONCLUSIONS: The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes and RI were normoalbuminuric despite the fact that 25% of these patients had no ongoing treatment with RAAS-blocking agents. Thus, RI in many patients with type 2 diabetes is likely to be caused by other factors than diabetic microvascular disease and ongoing RAAS-blockade.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this Phase II study was to evaluate if alum-formulated human recombinant GAD65 is safe and does not compromise beta cell function. The study was conducted as a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation clinical trial in a total of 47 Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) patients who received either placebo or 4, 20, 100, or 500 μg Diamyd subcutaneously at Weeks 1 and 4. Safety evaluations, including neurology, beta cell function tests, diabetes status assessment, hematology, biochemistry, and cellular and humoral immunological markers, were repeatedly assessed over 24 weeks. None of the patients had significant study-related adverse events (AE). Fasting c-peptide levels at 24 weeks were increased compared with placebo (P=.0015) in the 20 μg but not in the other dose groups. In addition, both fasting (P=.0081) and stimulated (P=.0236) c-peptide levels increased from baseline to 24 weeks in the 20 μg dose group. GADA log levels clearly increased (P=.0002) in response to 500 μg Diamyd. The CD4+CD25+/CD4+CD25− cell ratio increased (P=.0128) at 24 weeks in the 20 μg group. No sudden increase in HbA1c or plasma glucose or decrease in beta cell function was observed in any of the dose groups. These positive findings for clinical safety further support the clinical development of Diamyd as a therapeutic to prevent autoimmune diabetes.

- Aim: The impact of BL11282, an imidazoline receptor (NISCH) agonist, on potentiation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) from isolated human non-diabetic (ND) and type 2 diabetic (T2D) islets was investigated. Methods: Analysis of mRNA was performed by RNA-sequencing and qPCR Insulin and cAMP by RIA and EUSA respectively. Results: RNA-sequencing data revealed that NISCH is highly expressed in fat tissues, islets, liver and muscles, with eight detectable splice variants of transcripts in islets. NISCH had a positive correlation with GLP-1 (GLP1R) and GIP (GIPR) receptor transcripts. The expression of NISCH was confirmed by qPCR in human islets. NISCH and GLP1R were comparably higher expressed in mouse islets compared to human islets. GSIS was dose-dependently potentiated by BL11282 from incubated islets of ND and T2D human islet donors. The insulinotropic action of BL11282 was associated with increased cAMP. While the harmful effect of high glucose on reductive capacity of islet cells was enhanced by glibenclamide during long-term culture, it was counteracted by BL11282 or Bt2-cAMP. BL11282 also increased proliferation of INS-1 cells during long-time culture. Conclusion: Our data suggest that BL11282 potentiates GSIS by an action involving cAMP/PKA system and BL11282 could be an attractive insulinotropic and beta-cell protective agent.

- Aims: To evaluate how HbA1c in adolescents with type 1 diabetes affects microvascular complications in young adults. Methods: All individuals registered in the Swedish paediatric diabetes quality registry (SWEDIABKIDS) 13-18 years of age, and as adults registered in the Swedish National Diabetes Registry (NDR) in both the years 2011 and 2012 were included, in total 4250 individuals. Results: Of the individuals with mean HbA1c >78 mmol/mol in SWEDIABKIDS 83.4% had retinopathy, 15.8% had microalbuminuria and 4.9% had macroalbuminuria in NDR. The logistic regression analysis showed that the OR to develop macroalbuminuria as a young adult was significantly higher in the group with mean HbA1c >78 mmol/mol in SWEDIABKIDS (p < 0.05). Among the patients with mean HbA1c above 78 mmol/mol in both registries there was a significantly higher proportion that had retinopathy, microalbuminuria (p < 0.001) and/or macroalbuminuria (p < 0.01) compared to the group with HbA1c below 57 mmol/mol in both registries. Only 6.5% of the persons in this study were over 30 years of age. Conclusions: Paediatric diabetes teams working with teenagers must be aware of the impact of good metabolic control during adolescence, and should intensify the care during this vulnerable period of life to reduce the risk of microvascular complications in young adults.

- OBJECTIVE: Patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) have an increased risk of cognitive dysfunction. The cognitive decrement is believed to depend on macro- and microvascular complications and long disease duration. Some patients do not develop these complications, but still report cognitive symptoms. We examined if long-standing T1D without complications is associated with lower cognitive performance.METHODS: A group of patients (n=43) with long-standing T1D (>30years) without micro- or macro vascular complications was compared with a non-diabetic control group (n=86) on six cognitive tests which probed episodic memory, semantic memory, episodic short-term memory, visual attention and psychomotor speed. Each patient was matched with two controls regarding age, gender and education. A linear mixed effect model was used to analyze the data.RESULTS: The mean age was 57years and mean duration was 41years. Patients with diabetes had lower diastolic blood pressure but BMI, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure and smoking did not differ between groups. Patients had lower results than non-diabetic controls in episodic short-term memory (p<0.001) and also lower values on a test that mirrors visual attention and psychomotor speed (p=0.019).CONCLUSIONS: Long-standing T1D was associated with lower cognitive performance, regardless of other diabetes-related complications.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate circulating biomarkers associated with the risk of developing diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) and nephropathy in type 1 diabetes (T1D).MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with childhood-onset T1D (n = 49, age 38.3 ± 3.8 yrs.) followed prospectively were evaluated after 30 years of diabetes duration. DPN was defined as an abnormality in nerve conduction tests. Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and its tissue inhibitor TIMP-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin-2 (NGAL), soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin), estimated GFR (eGFR), micro/macroalbuminuria and routine biochemistry were assessed. For comparison, control subjects were included (n = 30, age 37.9 ± 5.5 yrs.).RESULTS: In all, twenty-five patients (51 %) were diagnosed with DPN, and nine patients (18 %) had nephropathy (five microalbuminuria and four macroalbuminuria). Patients with DPN had higher levels of TIMP-1 (p = 0.036) and sP-selectin (p = 0.005) than controls. Patients with DPN also displayed higher levels of TIMP-1 compared to patients without DPN (p = 0.035). Patients with macroalbuminuria had kidney disease stage 3 with lower eGFR, higher levels of TIMP-1 (p = 0.038), and NGAL (p = 0.002). In all patients, we found only weak negative correlations between eGFR and TIMP-1 (rho = -0.304, p = 0.040) and NGAL (rho = -0.277, p = 0.062, ns), respectively. MMP-9 was higher in patients with microalbuminuria (p = 0.021) compared with normoalbuminuric patients.CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that TIMP-1 and MMP-9, as well as sP-selectin and NGAL, are involved in microvascular complications in T1D. Monitoring and targeting these biomarkers may be a potential strategy for treating diabetic nephropathy and neuropathy.

- Background: Diabetes is associated with increased risk of a spectrum of cancers, but there are few meta-analyses on the association between diabetes and kidney cancer. We performed a meta-analysis of case-control studies and cohort studies to address the incidence and mortality of kidney cancer in diabetes. Methods: Studies were identified by searching PubMed database and manual assessment of the cited references in the retrieved articles. Study-specific relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using a random-effect model. Study quality was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: A total of 24 studies were included. We found that diabetes was significantly associated with increased risk of kidney cancer (RR=1.40, 95% CI = 1.16 to 1.69), and the results were consistent between case-control and cohort studies. A slightly stronger positive relation was observed in women (RR = 1.47, 95% CI=1.18 to 1.83) than in men (RR=1.28, 95% CI=1.10 to 1.48). Additional analyses indicated that the increased risk of kidney cancer was independent of alcohol consumption, body mass index (BMI)/obesity and smoking. However, there was no association between diabetes and mortality of kidney cancer (RR=1.12, 95% CI=0.99 to 1.20), without heterogeneity (P = 0.419, I-2 = 1.8%). Conclusions: Diabetes mellitus may increase the risk of kidney cancer in both women and men.

- Aim: Impaired regulation of glucose metabolism in childhood adversely affects bone health. We assessed the effect of fasting hyperglycemia and insulin resistance on bone turnover markers in prepubertal children with normal glycemia (<100 mg/dL) and fasting hyperglycemia (100-125 mg/dL).Methods: Glucose, hemoglobin A1c, IGF-I (insulin-like growth factor I), iP1NP (N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen), CTX-1 (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen) and insulin were measured. Bone turnover index (BTI) and HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment) were calculated.Results: Bone resorption marker (CTX) levels were decreased by 26.5% in boys with hyperglycemia, though only 7% in girls. Hyperglycemia had no effect on the bone formation marker iP1NP. IGF-1, the best predictor of bone marker variance accounted for 25% of iP1NP and 5% of CTX variance. Girls presented significantly higher BTI indicating the predominance of bone formation over resorption. Insulin resistance significantly decreased CTX. In girls, HOMA-IR and IGF-1 predicted 15% of CTX variance.Conslusions: Fasting hyperglycemia and insulin resistance in children impact bone turnover suppressing bone resorption. Hyperglycemia decreased resorption, particularly in boys, while suppression of resorption by insulin resistance was more pronounced in girls. We suggest that the progression of disturbances accompanying prediabetes, may interfere with bone modelling and be deleterious to bone quality in later life.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aims: The aim of the present study was to compare outcomes of endovascular surgery versus open vascular surgery in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Methods: Between 1984 and 2006, 1151 patients with DFU were admitted to the diabetic foot care team. Three hundred seventy-six patients with 408 limbs were consecutively included at a multidisciplinary foot center, 289 limbs were treated with endovascular surgery and 119 limbs with open vascular surgery first strategy. A propensity score adjusted analysis was performed to compare outcomes for type of revascularization. Results: Major amputation rates at 3 years were 17.0% and 16.8% (p = 0.97) and mortality at 3 years were 43.1% and 46.5% (p = 0.55) after endovascular surgery and open vascular surgery, respectively. In the propensity score adjusted analysis, patients undergoing endovascular surgery first had similar outcomes in terms of major amputation, mortality, combined major amputation/mortality compared to those undergoing open vascular surgery. Longer time to intervention (p = 0.003) was associated with increased major amputation rate in the multivariable Cox regression analysis. Conclusion: The endovascular surgery first and open vascular surgery first strategies were associated with similar long-term results in a large cohort of patients with DFU and PAD undergoing revascularization. Rapid revascularization reduces the risk of amputation.

- AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: This study aimed to examine hand disorders, symptoms, overall hand function, activities of daily living (ADLs), and life satisfaction in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and normal glucose tolerance (NGT). METHODS: Subjects were interviewed and evaluated with a battery of clinical and laboratory tests, including hand assessment, and a questionnaire. RESULTS: HbA1c differed between groups (highest in DM, especially in long-term DM). Limited joint motion (LJM), for example, prayer sign and Dupuytren's contracture, was most common in individuals with DM, followed by individuals with IGT, as compared to those with NGT. Vibrotactile sense was impaired symmetrically in the index and little fingers in DM. However, there were no differences for sensibility, dexterity, grip strength, and cold intolerance between groups. Individuals with long-term (>15 years) DM were more affected regarding sensibility and ADL than individuals with short-term DM, who had more sleep disturbances. ADL difficulties were less among IGT subjects. Vibrotactile sense showed correlations with Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test and static two-point discrimination. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Dupuytren's contracture and impaired vibrotactile sense in finger pulps occurred in patients with DM but not in those with IGT, although LJM occurred in both IGT and DM patients. A longer duration of DM was associated with more severe neuropathy and ADL difficulties. Life satisfaction was high, and hand disorders did not have a significant impact on ADL.

- Aims: Elevated plasma soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) predicts long-term progression of chronic kidney disease. We investigated the association between elevated TNFR1 and the presence of renal disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus registering a haemoglobin Mc (HbA1c) >48 mmol/mol despite medical therapy. Methods: Using sensitivity, specificity and regression analyses we interrogated the association between plasma TNFR1 and presence of chronic kidney disease as assessed by the presence of microalbuminuria and/or an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) (stages 3-5 chronic kidney disease). The association of TNFR1 with C-reactive protein and leptin-adiponectin ratio as plasma markers of systemic inflammation and adipose stress respectively was also investigated. Results: Upper quartile TNFR1 is independently associated with elevated urinary albumin-creatinine ratios, reductions in eGFR and strongly predicts the presence of stages 3-5 chronic kidney disease in regression modelling. Elevated TNFR1 levels are associated with increased plasma C-reactive protein and augmented leptin-adiponectin ratio. Conclusions: Our study confirms plasma TNFR1 as a surrogate of renal structural and functional impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Association of TNFR1 with markers of systemic inflammation and adipose stress indicates that TNFR1 may be a biomarker of these processes as components of the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: To investigate to which extent differences in cardiovascular risk factors explain the increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and complication rate in women with diabetes mellitus (DM). DESIGN: Case-control study. SUBJECTS: We compared women with diabetes and previous MI (n=29), diabetes but no MI (n=46), prior MI but no diabetes (n=64), and healthy controls (n=125). MEASUREMENTS: Smoking habits, physical activity, blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), waist/hip ratio (WHR), serum lipids, plasma fibrinogen, and serum sex hormones. RESULTS: Despite the fact that diabetic women had similar BMI, those with a past MI, compared to diabetic women without MI, had significantly higher WHR (mean, 95% CI) [0.89 (0.87, 0.92) vs. 0.84 (0.81, 0.86) mmol/l, P=.001] and very high S-triglycerides [3.03 (2.23, 3.83) vs. 1.69, (1.39, 1.99) mmol/l, P=.001] and low HDL-cholesterol [1.09 (0.94, 1.24) vs. 1.56 (1.41, 1.71) mmol/l, P<.001], indicating pronounced metabolic disturbances. Women with MI but no diabetes had intermediate values for WHR, triglycerides, and HDL-cholesterol. Furthermore, women with diabetes and MI had significantly higher p-fibrinogen, were smokers, and lived a more sedentary life than the other women. Over half of all women with prior MI were on lipid-lowering therapy and tended to have nonsignificantly lower S-cholesterol than women without MI. CONCLUSIONS: Women with diabetes who have manifested an MI carry a very substantial cardiovascular risk factor burden, which probably explain their increased morbidity and mortality. In order to improve prognosis, studies targeted at investigating treatment modalities for these abnormalities are needed.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with structural and functional changes of the central nervous system. We used electroencephalography (EEG) to assess resting state cortical activity and explored associations to relevant clinical features. Multichannel resting state EEG was recorded in 27 healthy controls and 24 patients with longstanding DM and signs of autonomic dysfunction. The power distribution based on wavelet analysis was summarized into frequency bands with corresponding topographic mapping. Source localization analysis was applied to explore the electrical cortical sources underlying the EEG. Compared to controls, DM patients had an overall decreased EEG power in the delta (1-4 Hz) and gamma (30-45 Hz) bands. Topographic analysis revealed that these changes were confined to the frontal region for the delta band and to central cortical areas for the gamma band. Source localization analysis identified sources with reduced activity in the left postcentral gyrus for the gamma band and in right superior parietal lobule for the alpha 1 (8-10 Hz) band. DM patients with clinical signs of autonomic dysfunction and gastrointestinal symptoms had evidence of altered resting state cortical processing. This may reflect metabolic, vascular or neuronal changes associated with diabetes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: To examine patient-reported outcome (PRO) in a selected group of Swedish patients about to receive anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment for diabetic macular edema (DME). Material and methods: In this cross-sectional study, 59 patients with diabetes mellitus, who regularly visited the outpatient eye-clinics, were included. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected and the patients completed PRO measures before starting anti-VEGF treatment. PRO measures assessed eye-specific outcomes (NEI-VFQ-25) and generic health-related quality of life (SF-36). Results: The participants consisted of 30 men and 29 women (mean age, 68.5 years); 54 (92%) patients had type 2 diabetes; 5 (9%) patients had moderate or severe visual impairment; 28 (47%) were classified as having mild visual impairment. Some of the patients reported overall problems in their daily lives, such as with social relationships, as well as problems with impaired sight as a result of reduced distance vision. Conclusions: Further studies are needed to investigate PRO factors related to low perceived general health in this patient population. It is important to increase our understanding of such underlying mechanisms to promote improvements in the quality of patient care.

IGF2BP2 and IGF2 genetic effects in diabetes and diabetic nephropathy
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Journal of diabetes and its complications. - : Elsevier BV. - 1056-8727 .- 1873-460X. ; 26:5, s. 393-398

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: The IGF2BP2 gene is located on chromosome 3q27.2 within a region linked to type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (120) and diabetic nephropathy (ON). Its protein functionally binds to 5'-UTR of the imprinting IGF2 gene. The present study aims to evaluate the IGF2BP2-IGF2 genetic effects in diabetes and DN. Materials and Methods: Three cohorts including T1D with and without DN (n = 1139) of European descents from the GoKinD study, Swedish T1D with and without ON (n = 303) and Czech control subjects without diabetes, T1D, T2D with and without ON (n = 1418) were enrolled in TaqMan genotyping experiments for IGF2BP2 rs4402960 and IGF2 rs10770125. Igf2bp2 gene expression in kidney tissues of db/db and control mice at the ages of 5 and 26 weeks was examined with real time RT-PCR and Western blot. Results: An association of IGF2BP2 rs4402960 with T2D in the Czech population was replicated. This IGF2BP2 polymorphism (P = 0.037, OR = 0.69 95% CI 0.49-0.98) was found to be associated with DN in male not in female patients with T1D selected from the GoKinD study. In the analyses of combined the GoKinD, Czech and Swedish populations, the association between IGF2BP2 polymorphism and ON in male patients with T1D was still significant (P = 0.030, OR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.54-0.97). IGF2 rs10770125 was also associated with DN in male T1D patients of the GoKinD population (P = 0.038, OR = 0.67 95% CI 0.46-0.98). There might be a genetic interaction between IGF2BP2 and IGF2 (P = 0.05). The Igf2bp2 gene expression levels were increased in the kidneys of db/db mice compared to controls at the age of 5 weeks but not at 26 weeks. Conclusions: The present study has replicated the association of IGF2BP2 rs4402960 with T2D in the Czech population and provided data suggesting that IGF2BP2 may have genetic interaction with IGF2 with a protective effect against DN in male patients with T1D.

- PURPOSE: This study aimed to determine if there are any associations between serum levels of inflammatory markers and proliferative retinopathy (PDR) in type 1 diabetic patients. DESIGN: A cross-sectional design was utilized for this study. METHODS: One hundred twenty-eight type 1 diabetic patients underwent stereo fundus photography according to the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study and were divided into two retinopathy groups: no or nonproliferative retinopathy (NDR/NPDR; n=62) and PDR (n=66). Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, soluble vascular cellular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), P-selectin, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test and multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Patients with PDR had higher levels of TNF-alpha [7.0 pg/ml (<4-17) vs. 6.0 pg/ml (<4-25); P=.009], sVCAM-1 [860 ng/ml (360-2120) vs. 700 ng/ml (310-1820); P<.001], and P-selectin [180 ng/ml (39-400) vs. 150 ng/ml (42-440); P=.017; figures are expressed as median (range)]. There were no differences in serum levels of sICAM-1 or hsCRP. IL-1beta was not detectable in any patient, and IL-6 was detectable in only 22.7% of the patients. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, TNF-alpha was the single, persistent, independent determinant inflammatory marker for PDR. CONCLUSION: The association between TNF-alpha and PDR in type 1 diabetic patients suggests that inflammation might play a role in the pathogenesis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: This post hoc analysis evaluated efficacy and safety of dronedarone in atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) patients with/without diabetes. Methods: Patients were categorized according to baseline diabetes status. Time-to-event analyses were performed using Kaplan-Meier method. Hazard-ratios were assessed using Cox models. Results: 945/4628 (dronedarone = 482; placebo = 463) patients in ATHENA and 215/1237 (dronedarone = 148; placebo = 67) patients in EURIDIS/ADONIS studies had diabetes. In ATHENA, there were higher rates of CV hospitalization/death in patients with diabetes (39.5%) than without diabetes (34.7%). Incidence of first CV hospitalization/death was lower in patients with diabetes treated with dronedarone (35.1%) than placebo (44.1%), and time to this event was longer in those treated with dronedarone than placebo (log-rank p = 0.005). Median AF/AFL recurrence time was longer in patients treated with dronedarone than placebo in patients with diabetes (ATHENA: 722 vs 527 days, log-rank p = 0.004; EURIDIS/ADONIS: 100 vs 23 days, log-rank p = 0.15) or without diabetes (ATHENA: 741 vs 492 days, log-rank p < 0.0001; EURIDIS/ADONIS: 120 vs 59 days, log-rank p = 0.0002). Occurrence of any treatment-related adverse events with dronedarone was similar for patients with/without diabetes and was comparable to placebo. Conclusions: Dronedarone reduced incidence of CV hospitalization/death, AF/AFL recurrence and increased time to these events in AF/AFL patients with/without diabetes. Trial registration: Not applicable, as it was a post hoc analysis. This article is based on previously conducted studies (ATHENA: NCT00174785, EURIDIS: NCT00259428, and ADONIS: NCT00259376).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Despite marked improvement in therapy and monitoring of patients with insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes, diabetic nephropathy remains a serious complication, with subsequent end-stage renal disease in about 20% of cases. OBJECTIVE: To investigate in young patients with type 1 diabetes whether urine α-Glutathione S-transferase to creatinine ratio (α-GST:crea) relates to markers of systemic inflammation and subclinical vasculopathy. DESIGN: Children and adolescents (median age and diabetes duration 14 and 6years, respectively) with type 1 diabetes screened in a previous study for proximal tubular (urine α-GST:crea ratio) and renal (plasma creatinine, cystatin C glomerular filtration rate (GFR), and timed urine albumin excretion rate (AER)) function were, within the same timeframe, also investigated for vascular (blood pressure, carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and compliance (CAC), brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and plasma cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and inflammatory (C-reactive protein (CRP), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α)) profiles. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) was assessed through questionnaire (n=67 respondents). RESULTS: None of the patients (n=69) had overt renal insufficiency. AER correlated with age (p=0.01, r=0.3), diabetes duration (p=0.02, r=0.3), FMD (p=0.04, r=-0.3, n=52), CAC (p=0.03, r=-0.3, n=62) and cGMP (p=0.01, r=-0.3, n=59). α-GST:crea was lower (p=0.03) in patients than in controls. α-GST:crea appeared to be particularly lower in older patients (p=0.004, r=-0.34 vs age), in those with worse diabetic control (p=0.03, r=-0.26 vs HbA1c), and in those with lower carotid artery elasticity (p=0.017, r=0.3 vs CAC). Although ETS had no direct significant impact on α-GST:crea, α-GST:crea correlated with FMD only in patients with ETS (r=0.5, p=0.009, n=13). α-GST:crea showed positive association with TNF-α (p=0.01, r=0.3). CONCLUSION: In children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, lower levels of urine excretion of α-GST:crea appear to be associated with decreasing elasticity and endothelial vasomotor function of peripheral arteries, especially in patients with ETS. In contrast, higher levels of α-GST:crea are more common in patients with elevated markers of systemic inflammation. Large scale prospective studies are needed to clarify the meaning and mechanisms of this association.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: The aim of this study is to identify risk factors for the loss of measurable plasma C-peptide in newly diagnosed 15- to 35-year-old diabetic subjects. Methods: This Swedish study included 778 subjects. C-peptide levels were obtained each year for 6 years after diagnosis. Loss of measurable C-peptide was defined as a level at or below the lower detection limit of the local assay (0.13 nmol/l). In addition to C-peptide, other baseline covariates included gender, age, body mass index, HLA genotype, and autoantibody levels. Results: Compared with autoantibody-negative subjects, autoantibody-positive subjects had lower median baseline C-peptide (0.27 vs. 0.50, P<001), their levels declined over the study period, and the risk of losing measurable C-peptide was significantly higher when more than one autoantibody was present [odds ratio (OR), 4.0; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.13-7.54]. Among autoantibody-positive individuals, the presence of GAD65Ab (OR, 1.8; 95% Cl, 1.24-2.51) and islet cell antibodies (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.19-2.18) conferred a higher risk for loss of measurable C-peptide as did female gender (OR, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.17-2.11) and time after diagnosis (OR, 1.5 for each additional year postdiagnosis; 95% CI, 1.41-1.57). Higher baseline C-peptide levels were protective (OR, 0.5 for each additional log nanomoles per liter; 95% CI, 0.36-0.58). Conclusions: This study identified autoantibody status, gender, and baseline C-peptide levels as factors that will be useful for predicting the disease course of 15- to 35-year-old diabetic individuals.

- Aims To assess peripheral neuropathy following a standardized foot examination protocol in a representative population-based cohort of subjects with type 2 diabetes. Methods In a geographically defined population, aged 40–70 years with diabetes prevalence of 3.5% according to medical records, we investigated 156 type 2 diabetic subjects, 95% Caucasian, mean age 61.7±7.2 years, duration of diabetes 7.0±5.7 years, and HbA1c 7.3±2.4% (6.4% Mono-S), by questionnaires, clinical examinations, blood sampling, and review of medical records. Foot examination included clinical signs of peripheral neuropathy and tests of sensibility with monofilament, tuning fork, and assessments of the vibration perception thresholds (VPT). Results Peripheral autonomic neuropathy (PAN) as judged by two or more signs of dysfunction was the most common and affected 43%. The prevalence of peripheral sensory neuropathy (PSN) was 15% by monofilament, 24% by tuning fork, and 28% by VPT expressed as ZscoreVPT ≥2.0 S.D. Twenty-nine percent had a VPT ≥25 V. Signs of peripheral motor neuropathy (PMN) affected 15%. Peripheral neuropathy, at least one variable, affected 67%, whereas 25% were affected by more than one variable of neuropathy, i.e., polyneuropathy. Exclusion of other identified causes for neuropathy than diabetes reduced the prevalence of diabetic polyneuropathy to 23%. Concurrent diabetic complications were 29% for retinopathy, 14% for incipient nephropathy, and 8% for overt nephropathy. The prevalence of macrovascular complications was 62% for CVD, 26% for PVD, and 11% for cerebrovascular lesion (CVL). Conclusion Peripheral neuropathy was common in this representative type 2 diabetes population. Clinical signs of PAN were the most frequent followed by diminished perception of vibration and touch.

- The aim of this study was to compare self-perceived health among diabetic patients who experienced threat of blindness with those who had already gone blind. Another aim was to explore different aspects of self-care in relation to self-perceived health among the subjects. Twenty-one diabetic patients under threat of becoming blind and 23 with diabetes-related blindness agreed to participate in the study. The participants were compared with an age- and gender-matched nondiabetic reference group. Self-perceived health was measured using the 63-item Swedish Health-Related Quality of Life Survey (SWED-QUAL) questionnaire. Data on diabetes-related variables were collected from the patient's hospital records. An interview guide was created for measuring dimensions of self-care. Patients with threat of becoming blind showed better self-perceived health than blind patients, but no differences were found in comparison with the Swedish reference group. Blind patients scored lower in 6 of the 13 health domains and they reported more problems with diabetes self-care than patients with threat of becoming blind. One of the 13 health domains, role limitations due to physical health, seemed to be associated with impaired self-care although only a partial understanding could be demonstrated. The results show that blind patients need specific support to cope well with different self-care situations. A great challenge in future research in diabetes is to implement education programs suitable especially for patients who have gone blind because of diabetes. © 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVES: This is the first nationwide study with the aim to analyze whether there is an association between country of birth in first-generation immigrants and hospitalization for type 2 diabetes (T2D), and to study whether any such association remains in second-generation immigrants. DESIGN: In this follow-up study, the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register was used to identify all hospital diagnoses of T2D in first- and second-generation immigrants in Sweden between January 1, 1964 and December 31, 2007. Hospitalization rate ratios standardized with regard to gender, age, geographical region, socioeconomic status, obesity, and family history of hospitalization for T2D were estimated in first- and second-generation immigrants. RESULTS: Both increased and decreased risks of hospitalization for T2D were shown for several first-generation immigrant groups. However, only second-generation immigrants with Finnish or former Yugoslavian parents had higher rates of hospitalization for T2D than the reference group. No other differences remained in the second-generation immigrants. CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggests that ethnic environmental factors may be more important than ethnic genetic factors in explaining the observed variation in hospitalization for T2D among first-generation immigrants.

- To investigate the risk of major amputation after elective endovascular therapy in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia (CLTI) comparing patients with and without diabetes mellitus (DM).In this nationwide cohort study, all patients registered in the Swedish Vascular Register after elective endovascular therapy for CLTI caused by infra-inguinal arterial disease from 2010 to 2014 were included. Among 4578 individuals, 2251 had DM and were registered in the National Diabetes Register between 2009 and 2014. A propensity score adjusted Cox regression analysis was conducted to compare outcomes between groups. Median follow-up was 4.0 and 3.6years for patients with DM and without DM, respectively.The incidence rates of major amputation and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were 43% (95% CI 1.23-1.67) and 37% (95% CI 1.13-1.67) higher, respectively, among patients with DM compared to patients without DM. There was no difference in mortality (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.95-1.14).Patients with DM had a higher risk of major amputation and AMI compared to those without DM after elective endovascular therapy for CLTI. Prevention of DM with CLTI is of utmost importance to reduce the risk of adverse limb and cardiovascular outcomes.

Reduced brachial artery distensibility in patients with type 1 diabetes
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of diabetes and its complications. - : ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC. - 1056-8727 .- 1873-460X. ; 30:5, s. 893-897

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background and aims: In patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), cardiovascular disease (CVD) events are more common and occur earlier in life than in non-diabetics. Reduced brachial artery distensibility (BrachD) is an independent risk factor for development of CVD. Our aim was to determine if adults with T1D have lower BrachD compared to adults without diabetes and also to determine how age and gender affect the relationship of BrachD with T1D status. Materials and methods: BrachD was measured using the Dynapulse instrument in 829 participants (352 with T1D, 477 non-diabetics). An ANCOVA model was used to test the association of BrachD with age, sex, and T1D, and the significance of an age*sex*T1D interaction. Results: Mean BrachD was lower in T1D patients vs. controls (6.43 +/- 1.46 vs. 7.16 +/- 1.48 % change per mmHg, p amp;lt; 0.0001). In a model adjusted for age, T1D, and sex, the interaction of age*T1D*sex was significant (p = 0.0045). Younger women both with and without T1D had higher BrachD than men with and without T1D, but older women with and without T1D had lower BrachD compared to older men with and without T1D. Women with T1D had a steeper decline in BrachD with age than nondiabetic women. Conclusions: BrachD is lower in T1D patients than in non-diabetics, indicating increased vascular stiffness. Younger females have higher BrachD than males, but the decline with age in BrachD is steeper for women, particularly among those with T1D. BrachD may be an inexpensive, non-invasive method to ascertain increased CVD risk in this population. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVE: Adiponectin [adipocyte C1q and collagen domain containing (ACDC)] is the most abundant adipose-specific protein. It is beneficial in that it improves insulin sensitivity and mitigates vascular damage, in addition to the possibility of it having anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical evidences demonstrate that serum adiponectin concentrations are increased in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as well as in patients with microvascular complications. However, the genetic influence of the ACDC gene in T1D and diabetic microvascular complications is still unclear. The present study aims to evaluate the association of the ACDC genetic variation in T1D and diabetic nephropathy (DN). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the ACDC gene were genotyped in 432 T1D patients (of which, 196 had DN) and 187 nondiabetic control subjects, who were all Swedish Caucasians, by using dynamic allele specific hybridization. RESULTS: Single-marker association analysis demonstrated that SNPs +45G15G(T/G) and +276(G/T) were strongly associated with T1D [P=.002, OR=1.855 (1.266-2.717) and P=.001, OR=1.694 (1.337-2.147)]. Further analysis for haplotypes of these two SNPs indicated that one of the common haplotype (T_G) was strongly associated with T1D [P<.001, OR=1.769 (1.430-2.188)]. However, there was no significant difference in the allele frequencies of these two SNPs between the groups of T1D patients with nephropathy and the patients without nephropathy. CONCLUSIONS: The present study thus suggests that SNPs +45G15G(T/G) and +276(G/T) in the ACDC gene are associated with T1D but not with DN among Swedish Caucasians.
