ABSTRACT
Objective@#This systematic review and meta-analysis was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of antibacterial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of periodontitis in type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and to provide better treatment for patients with T2DM complicated with periodontitis.@*Methods@#The PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, and Wanfang databases were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). RevMan 5.3 was applied for the meta-analysis, and a systematic evaluation was conducted.@*Results@#A total of 8 RCTs were included. The results showed that compared to simple subgingival scaling and root planing (SRP), aPDT assisted SRP had a better effect on improving the probing depth (PD) at 3 months after treatment, The difference was statistically significant [WMD=-0.32,95%CI（-0.45, -0.2）, P < 0.05], but 6 months after treatment, there was no significant difference in the two groups [ WMD=-0.15,95%CI（-0.40, 0.10）,P=0.23]. During the 6-month follow-up period, there were no significant differences in the clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP) or hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) between the two groups (P> 0.05).@*Conclusion@#aPDT-assisted periodontal nonsurgical treatment in T2DM patients can improve PD in the short term but has no significant effect on the improvement of CAL, BOP and HbA1c.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effects and safety of metformin combined with vildagliptin on the glycemic control for patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:60 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who were treated from February 2015 to April 2016 were selected and divided into the control group and the observation group according to different treatment methods.The control group was treated with routine treatment.The observation group was treated with vildagliptin based on the control group.The blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,two-hour postprandial blood glucose and serum as well as urinal amylase were measured before and after treatment,and the clinical curative effect of the two groups and the levels of interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor and C-reactive protein were compared.Results:After treatment,the total effective rate of observation group was 90％,which was significantly higher than that of the control group(66.7％,P＜0.05).After treatment,the serum interleukin-6,tumor necrosis factor,C-reactive protein and fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin and postprandial blood glucose levels were significantly lower than those of the control group[(7.63± 1.12)dvs(8.68± 1.30)d;(7.23± 0.95)d vs(7.89± 1.20)d;(11.14± 1.56)d vs(12.12± 1.89)d];[(12.12± 1.89)d vs(ll.20± 1.34)d;(6.89± 0.96)d vs(8.23± 1.10)d;(1.65± 0.23)d vs(3.65± 0.48)d] (P＜0.05).After treatment,the INS level of observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P＜0.05) and the GLP-1 level was significantly higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Metformin combined with vildagliptin could effectively control the blood glucose of patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and enhance the safety.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the important controllable factors which affect the glycemic control of diabetes. Methods:A cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the role of relevant characteristics in glycemic control by a sampling investigation of 430 diabetic patients in Hunan, China. A questionnaire was designed for personal interviews to collect data. Univariate regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to evaluate the effects of various factors on glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) control. Results:hTe level of HbA1c in 430 patients was (8.7±2.6)%, and the value in 34%patients among them was ≤7.0%. Base on univariate regression analysis some factors were associated with good HbA1c control, including age, diabetic education, self monitoring of blood glucose, knowledge of blood sugar control standard, living environment, and self-owned glucometer. However, the upgraded treatment was associated with poor control. Based on multiple linear regression analysis, the ifrst four factors mentioned above were protective factors for HbA1c while upgraded treatment was risk factor for HbA1c. Conclusion:Knowledge of blood sugar control standard, diabetic education and self monitoring of blood glucose are important controllable factors for better glycemic control of diabetes.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: Generally, it seemed that the therapeutic result in diabetic patients was changed by compliance. This study was conducted on the basis of assumption that the therapeutic result in diabetic patients could control according to compliance. This study was conducted to analyze the related factors in association with compliance to drug, diet and exercise therapy. METHODS: 224 diabetic patients in Kyungpook National University Hospital were selected through the interviews and HbA1c values from 1 Jan. to 28 Feb. 1997. The drug compliance was tested by regularity of drug administration, the diet compliance was tested by restriction of food, exactly allocation, balance of nutrient, measuring food and the exercise compliance was tested by regularity of exercise per day. We assessed compliance by percentage, X2-test and generalized logit regression model(method:enter). RESULTS: The significant variable was the satisfaction to medical personnels in drug, the knowledge to disease in diet, the participation of the diabetic education in exercise therapy and the satisfaction to medical personnels in HbA1c. Using the generalized logit model(method : enter) in compliance change, the significant variables were the satisfaction to medical personnels and the complication in drug; the significant variables were the age at the first diagnosis, the family history, the concern of health, the knowledge of disease, the self-exertion for therapy and the complication in diet; the only significant variable was the gender in exercise therapy. CONCLUSIONS: The degree of glycemic control in diabetic patients was influenced by compliance. In order to improve patient's compliance, we must foster the knowledge on the diseases, lead participation for diabetic education. Because the satisfaction to medical personnels was the important variables, we must build up good relationship between doctors and patients.
