Background: To examine efficacy of Subetta as an add-on to insulin therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial was performed. Derived by technological treatment of antibodies to insulin receptor β-subunit and endothelial NO synthase Subetta was previously proved to activate insulin signaling pathway. Methods: A total of 144 randomized patients with poor glycemic control in basal-bolus insulin regime were included in intention-to-treat analysis in Subetta add-on therapy or placebo (n = 72 in both groups). Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), basal and prandial insulin doses, number of hypoglycemia episodes confirmed by self-monitoring of blood glucose were recorded for 36 weeks. Results: The baseline characteristics of subjects did not differ between the two groups. HbA1c mean (±standard deviation) change was −0.59 ± 0.99% (95% CI −0.84 to −0.37) after 36 weeks in Subetta (vs. −0.20 ± 1.14%; 95% CI −0.44 to 0.11 in placebo; p = 0.028). The rate of overall hypoglycemia events was 7.9 per patient year (95% CI 7.1–8.6) in Subetta group and 7.6 (95% CI 6.9–8.4) in Placebo group (p = 0.63). The basal and total insulin doses did not change at the end of 36 weeks in both groups. Conclusions: Subetta add-on therapy boosting insulin activity and improving glycemic control in patients with T1DM is proved to be beneficial. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01868594.

Literature data devoted to transplantation of Langerhans cells have been analyzed. The main stages, indications, dissection of islets, immunosuppressive therapy, complications and data of the latest clinical trials were discussed.

In rodents, vaccination can prevent development of DM1. This review summarises existing literature and discusses the results of a 2016 meta-analysis, pertaining to vaccination and DM1. No vaccines appear to increase the risk of DM1. Additional investigations are needed to determine if vaccines can be considered protective against DM1. Patients with DM1 are at increased risk of morbidities from controllable infections. Children with DM1 should receive regularly-scheduled vaccinations; choice of vaccines and inoculation with non-regular vaccines should be determined on an individual basis. We present basic principles surrounding vaccination in patients with DM1 and analyse the role of the paediatric endocrinologist in increasing vaccination uptake in children with DM1.

Determination of desialized apolipoprotein-B-100 (apoB-100) and lipoprotein-containing circulating immune complexes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in program hemodialysis with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. We examined 81 patients with CKD (50 men / 31 women) treated with program hemodialysis, of which 36 (17/19) with type 2 diabetes mellitus, 45 (33/12) non-diabetic patients. The levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and desialylated apoB-100 in blood plasma and lipoprotein-containing circulating immune complexes. A color duplex scan of brachiocephalic arteries was used to assess the extent of development of atherosclerosis with the determination of the thickness of the intima-medial complex. Results and discussion. Patients with diabetes had high values of total cholesterol, triglycerides (p<0.05). Duplex scan of brachiocephalic arteries showed an increase in the thickness of intima-medial complex in all patients for program hemodialysis, however, in patients with diabetes, the thickness was 13% higher (p<0.05). In patients with diabetes, plaques with stenosis up to 50% prevail, compared with non-diabetic patients, p<0.05. The incidence was significantly higher for desialized apoB-100 by 46% in patients with diabetes on hemodialysis compared non-diabetic patients (p<0.05). An increase in the level of lipoprotein-containing circulating immune complexes by 39%, (p<0.05) in patients with diabetes mellitus was observed, compared with patients non-diabetic patients. The correlation between desialized apoB-100 and duplex scan of brachiocephalic arteries parameters (r=0.325), as well as between the cholesterol level and stenosis up to 50% (r=0.465) in patients with diabetes mellitus, was found to be of medium strength. The patients with diabetes and CKD, myocardial infarction developed 79% more often than in patients without diabetes (p<0.05). Thus, immunogenic lipid markers of atherosclerosis can be considered both as mechanical factors of atherogenesis and diagnostic and prognostic characteristics in type 2 diabetic patients with impaired renal function and chronic renal insufficiency. The conclusion. Accelerated development of atherosclerosis with diabetes and CKD, confirmed with the help of duplex scan of brachiocephalic arteries, may be associated with an increase in the level of modified low density lipoprotein.

The child has suffered from brittle diabetes since the age of 1 year and received insulin. The HbA1c level is 9.9-11.4%. The patient was examined at the age of 14 years; the disease duration is 13 years. The daily dose of insulin is 1.15-1.35 U/kg. DM complications include initial manifestations of distal diabetic polyneuropathy as well as cheiropathy. The mother (39 years) and grandmother (74 years) have T1DM with multiple complications. A genetic study revealed that all three family members had a heterozygous substitution p.P274 in the PTF1A gene with an unknown pathological significance. At present, it can not be asserted that the identified mutation is the etiologic factor of diabetes in the described case. We can not exclude T1DM in this child because specific antibodies have not been tested. However, the mutation is detected in all three members of the same family with diabetes, which does not exclude the discovery of a new form of MODY, not described earlier.

A proband was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at the age of 12 years; metformin therapy was used. A family history of DM involves three generations: The mother, aunt, and maternal grandfather have suffered from insulin-dependent DM since the age of 23, 22, and 40 years, respectively. The patient was examined at the age of 14 years. Obesity was present (SDS BMI 2.3). The insulin and C-peptide levels were 4.4 μU/mL and 1.5 ng/mL, respectively. The HbA1c level was 7.3%. Under glucose load, glycemia reached diabetic values; hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance were not detected. Specific pancreatic antibodies were absent. Metformin was discontinued, and a sulfonylurea (SU) drug was prescribed, which had a positive effect. The heterozygous mutation p.P291fs was identified in the HNF1A gene. Therefore, MODY3 was verified. The presence of concomitant obesity in the patient significantly complicates the differential diagnosis, and only a careful comprehensive analysis of clinical and laboratory parameters and a family history makes it possible to suspect the diagnosis of MODY3 (requiring subsequent molecular genetic verification) and prescribe pathogenetic therapy.

© Russian Association of Endocrinologists, 2018. This review examined the current problem of low adherence to treatment in patients with chronic diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus. According to the definition of the World Health Organization, 'adherence to treatment' is the degree to which a patient's behaviour corresponds to the doctor's recommendations with respect to medications and implementation of dietary advice and/or lifestyle changes. The current medical literature includes a large number of scientific publications devoted to the study of various factors that lead to low adherence to treatment. The term 'barriers' is most often used to designate these factors. The first part of this work contains an analysis of the main factors that impede compliance to the doctor's recommendations, such as socioeconomic and psychological (personal) barriers related to the disease itself, the peculiarities of its treatment and the organisation of medical care (the health care system). The second part of this review examines the different theoretical models of patient behaviour and strategies that improve adherence to treatment. Most researchers believe that there is an unsatisfactory (low) adherence to treatment and that none of the existing intervention strategies can improve adherence to treatment among all patients. The cornerstone of the entire diabetes management system is the training of patients within the framework of developed structured programmes. Conversely, success depends on the individual approach, the course of the disease and the mandatory consideration of the individual psychological characteristics of each person. Establishment of a partnership built on trust between a doctor and a patient contributes to greater patient satisfaction with treatment and improved adherence, and this relationship ultimately affects the treatment efficacy and clinical outcomes.

Materials and methods. In the blood of 50 patients with DM and 25 patients without disorders of carbohydrate metabolism were estimated: the level of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by immunochemical method, the content of SH-groups in plasma proteins, the activity of Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) in erythrocytes, the length of telomere in leukocyte DNA, the level of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxy-gunosine (8-oxo-dG) in plasma and urine. Results and discussion. It is shown that in DM patients the level of oxLDL increases and the content of SH-groups in proteins and peptides of the blood plasma decreases, which indicates the development of oxidative stress. In addition, a carbonyl-dependent modification of erythrocyte SOD was detected in DM patients, as well as oxidative DNA destruction (decrease in telomere length in leukocytes and an increase in the level of 8-oxo-dG in blood plasma and urine). Conclusion. On the basis of the definition of a complex of correct indicators, a multiple oxidative modification of biopolymers of blood (proteins and DNA) was detected in patients with DM.

In recent years, a large amount of data has been accumulated on the relationship between cognitive impairment, dementia and diabetes mellitus. This article presents an overview of modern literature, including the definition of cognitive functions, the modern classification of cognitive impairment, pathogenetic mechanisms of diabetes mellitus influence on the development of cognitive impairment and dementia (neurogenesis, integrity of the blood-brain barrier, systemic inflammatory reactions, hyper- And hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, vascular dysfunction of the microvasculature and increase in glucocorticosteroids). The influence of anti-diabetic medications on cognitive functions has been examined in detail: insulin preparations, oral hypoglycemic agents of the biguanide group (metformin), thiazolidinediones (rosiglitazone and pioglitazone), sulfonylurea derivatives (glycazide, glipizide), a-glucosidase (acarbose) inhibitors, incretin-directed therapy (receptor agonists glucan-like peptide (exenatide and liraglutide) and inhibitors of dipeptidylpeptidase type 4 (sitagliptin, vildagliptin and alogliptin)), sodium glucose inhibitors cotransporter type 2. The data demonstrating a multidirectional effect on the cognitive functions of various antidiabetic drugs is presented, the possible influence on the rate of progression of cognitive impairment and the risk of dementia of intensive control of plasma glucose level in comparison with the standard decrease in patients with type 2 diabetes is analyzed.

To evaluate the efficiency of methodological approaches to optimizing the care of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) under the present-day conditions of a progressive increase in the incidence of this disease in case of a specialized obstetric hospital. Materials and methods. The statistical data on the 2015–2016 activities of the Outpatient Department and the Maternity Department, Moscow City Clinical Hospital Twenty-Nine, were retrospectively analyzed. Results. GDM was diagnosed in two thirds of the pregnant women at more than 30 weeks’ gestation in primary outpatient care services. In the management of pregnant women with untimely detected GDM, the sensitivity of ultrasound fetometry using the specific markers of diabetic fetopathy (DF) was 65.5%. Programmed labor (PL) was one of the leading methods during childbirth. Conclusion. Ultrasound fetometry using specific markers for DF and the strict continuity of outpatient and inpatient care permitted the frequency of DF to be reduced about 1.5-fold. The use of PL methods in GDM contributed to a two-fold decrease in the cesarean delivery rate without deteriorating the perinatal outcomes of labor.

© 2018 Undersea  &  Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc. Taking into consideration that a high concentration of oxygen can express toxic effects due to production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the aim of our investigation was to establish the influence of hyperbaric oxygenation on oxidative stress parameters and antioxidant enzymes in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2. Investigation included 50 patients with DM type 2 divided into two groups. The first group consisted of 25 patients, mean age 70 years, mean duration of illness 12 years and without manifest peripheral vascular complications (Wagner 0). The second group consisted of 25 patients, mean age 74 years, mean duration of illness 17 years and with manifest peripheral vascular complications (Wagner 1-5). All patients underwent the same therapeutic protocol, which included 10 hyperbaric oxygenation therapies, once a day for a duration of 60 minutes, with an average partial oxygen pressure of 1.7 atmospheres absolute (ATA). In blood samples the following parameters of redox balance were determined: Levels of nitrites (NO2-), index of lipid peroxidation (TBARS), superoxide anion radical (O2-), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Our results clearly show that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy does not have a pro-oxidative effect. Additionally, it seems that this procedure strongly mobilized the antioxidant enzyme system, thus improving defense from oxidative damage. All significant data are marked as P<0.05. Our results have shown that in terms of ROS production, HBO2 can be safe to use in patients suffering from DM type 2 with or without vascular complications.

© 2018 Bentham Science Publishers. The burden of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases is increasing with every year. Although the management of these conditions has improved greatly over the years, it is still far from perfect. With all of this in mind, there is a need for new methods of prophylaxis and treatment. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an essential compound of the human body. There is growing evidence that CoQ10 is tightly linked to cardiometabolic disorders. Its supplementation can be useful in a variety of chronic and acute disorders. This review analyses the role of CoQ10 in hypertension, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, heart failure, viral myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, cardiac toxicity, dyslipidemia, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiac procedures and resuscitation.
