ABSTRACT

Background: Diabetes will be the 7th leading cause of death by 2030 as per the World Health Organization (WHO). Encouraging the populace to use drugs rationally is the main goal of research on drug usage. Aims and Objectives: The objective of this study is to determine drug utilization pattern among patients with diabetes mellitus using the WHO Core Indicators in a tertiary care hospital, Indore. Materials and Methods: A prospective and observational study was done in the Department of Pharmacology along with the Department of Medicine in MGM Medical College and Hospital, Indore. After taking informed consent from diabetic patients visiting the outpatient department, their demographic details and prescriptions were recorded in case record form and analyzed using WHO core indicators. Results: In our study, total prescription assessed was 123. The total drugs prescribed were 652, out of which a total of 278 were anti-diabetic drugs. The average number of drugs per encounter was 5.3. Percentage of drugs prescribed by generic name = 92.4%. Percentage of encounters with an antibiotic prescribed = 10.5%. Percentage of encounters with an injection prescribed = 34.9%. The percentage of drugs prescribed from the essential drugs list (2015) = 72.3%. Conclusion: Prescribing pattern of anti- diabetic drugs vary a little from the WHO standards. Rational prescription should be encouraged and such studies should be done regularly for periodic auditing of prescription.

ABSTRACT

Background: Serum ferritin is a valuable marker of glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Measuring serum ferritin can be used as an indicator of control of glycaemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. It can also be used as a marker to prevent disease complications. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the association of HbA1c and serum ferritin in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: 42 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes of either sex, aged between 20 and 65, were included. Analysis of serum ferritin and HbA1c by Vitros autoanalyser was done. Result: A positive and significant correlation was seen between HbA1c and serum ferritin. A positive and significant correlation was also observed between HbA1c and serum ferritin in females. Among males, the correlation was positive but non-significant. Among cases of the age group 25–40 yr positive and significant correlation was seen, and among cases of the age group 40–70 yr positive, non-significant correlation was observed. Conclusion: Both short- and long-term relationship between serum ferritin and glycaemic control is reflected by our findings. To conclude, there are many significant issues regarding good glycemic control, whether to set a cut-off value for serum ferritin or to estimate serum ferritin routinely in all type 2 diabetes patient. Our study results show a significant relationship between serum ferritin and HbA1c levels, suggesting that serum ferritin levels can be used as a routine screening tool for the early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes.

ABSTRACT

Biotinidase deficiency (BD) (OMIM 609019) autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder where enzyme biotinidase, is defective and biotin is not recycled in body. One novel phenotype reported from our tertiary care centre, 3-month-old baby presented with bilateral corneal haziness, development delay and seizures. Evaluation showed metabolic acidosis, persistent lactate elevation and MRI showed acute infract. Metabolic evaluation showed profound BD, confirmed by molecular testing. Treatment and follow up with biotin showed clearing of corneal opacity, resolution of bleed and improvement in development and seizures. BD has got wide range of clinical manifestations- neurologic, dermatologic, ophthalmologic and immunological features. Acute infract and corneal opacity are not yet reported in OMIM literature and BD not considered in differential diagnosis of stroke in metabolic disorders. Being clinicians, it is our responsibility to add novel associations and clinical findings and thus broaden the phenotype.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To determine the incidence of adrenal incidentalomas(AIs) in patients with diabetes mellitus and the metabolism profiles.Methods:A total of 615 hospitalized patients with diabetes mellitus in the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism of Peking University People′s Hospital from March 2020 to May 2021 were retrospectively included in this study. AIs were screened by unenhanced chest computed tomography(CT) retrospectively and subsequently confirmed by multiplanar reconstruction. Participants′ physical indicators, metabolic profiles, and adrenal function parameters were collected. Unpaired t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chi-Square test were adopted to compare the metabolism profiles between diabetes mellitus patients with or without AIs. Regression models were used to estimate the correlations between AIs and the metabolism profiles such as blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure, and the adrenal function parameters.Results:Twenty-seven out of 615 participants were detected with AIs(4.4%). Patients with AIs had higher body mass index, waist circumference, and hip circumference than patients without AIs [(29.4±5.1)kg/m 2vs(26.8±3.8)kg/m 2,P=0.018; (102.3±11.7)cm vs(95.8±10.3)cm, P=0.002; (107.3±10.1)cm vs(101.4±7.6)cm, P=0.008]. The levels of serum uric acid and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio were also significantly increased in patients with AIs [(409.6±118.1)μmol/L vs(357.4±100.6)μmol/L, P=0.009; 21.25(7.49, 180.24)mg/g vs 8.60(4.71, 34.56)mg/g, P=0.010]. Besides, individuals with AIs were also associated with a higher risk of co-existing hypertension( P=0.045). Conclusion:The incidence of AIs in patients with diabetes is 4.4%. The presence of AIs in patients with diabetes may associated with increased risk of obesity and hypertension.

ABSTRACT

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally high blood glucose level. One of the plants frequently used to manage diabetes is Vigna subterrenea, also known as the Bambaranut. The aim of this study is to verify the usefulness of this plant to mitigate the effects of diabetes. Thirty (30) Wistar rats weighing 170-200 g were used for this evaluation, the rats were randomly divided into six groups namely; group A: normal control, group B: diabetic control, group C: metformin (500 mg), group D: leaf extract (1000 mg), group E: stem extract (1000 mg), and group F: nut extract (1000 mg). Alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, balsam carbohydrate, phenol, steroids, and cardiac glycosides were all identified during the phytochemical screening of aqueous extracts. Intraperitoneal injections were used to cause diabetes using streptozotocin across groups and treatment commenced after 48 hours of induction upon confirmation of diabetes mellitus. The sacrifices of animals occurred after a 28-day session of treatment. For hematological and biochemical examination, blood, liver, kidney, and pancreas were obtained. Significantly lowering of fasting blood sugar in the extract treatment groups resulted in improved biochemical markers (P?0.05). Serum enzyme markers showed a significant drop (P?0.05) while High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) level increased considerably when compared with diabetic control. Also, when compared to the diabetic control group, the markers of kidney function all noticeably dropped, while electrolyte levels rose. Additionally, there was a significant positive impact on hematological parameters. In accordance with the results of this investigation, V subterrenea is a potent hypoglycemia and hypolipidemic agent on streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

ABSTRACT

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is the most serious metabolic disturbance of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and about 25 to 40% of the newly diagnosed T1DM children present with DKA. This research was conducted to study the clinical profile and identify the precipitating factors at time of presentation of DKA and to correlate the type onset of disease with the severity of DKA and the treatment outcome.Methods: Ambispective record based study of children admitted in in the paediatric ward of a tertiary care hospital with DKA between 01 July 2019 and 31 January 2022.Results: A total of 19 patients were enrolled and the mean age of presentation was 10.79±4.17 years with a female predominance. The family history of type 2 DM was noted in 73.7% and osmotic symptoms in 68.4% of the patients. 52.6% of the patients presented in severe DKA. Mean HbA1C noted was 15.14±2.74%. Acute Kidney Injury was present in 10.5% of the patients. Pneumonia was the major precipitating factor. The average length of hospital stay was 7.42±3.27 days. There was no significant correlation with the type of onset of T1DM and the treatment outcome. There was a significant reduction in HbA1c (p<0.05) on follow-up.Conclusions: This study highlights the need for creating awareness, early referral and timely management of T1DM presenting not only in DKA but also during the ambulatory management.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: El desarrollo de la tolerancia inmunológica frente a los autoantígenos se denomina autotolerancia. La Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1A (1ADM) es un trastorno metabólico secundario a la destrucción autoinmune de las células beta pancreáticas e insulitis. La miastenia grave (MG) es una enfermedad autoinmune causada por el bloqueo postsináptico de la placa mioneural por AAcs contra los receptores de acetilcolina (ACRA) o contra moléculas de la membrana postsináptica. La asociación entre DM1A y MG se puede observar en el síndrome poliglandular tipo III, caracterizado por enfermedad autoinmune de la glándula tiroides asociada con otras entidades autoinmunes. Método: Reporte de Casos, cuatro pacientes entre 7-19 años, con asociación de MG y DM1A atendidos en el Hospital Garrahan. Conclusión: La Tiroiditis de Hashimoto y la Enfermedad Celíaca son las enfermedades autoinmunes relacionadas más frecuentemente con DM1A en nuestra población. La bibliografía describe la asociación de MG y Tiroiditis de Hashimoto y su coexistencia con DM1A se describe en el Síndrome Poliglandular III. En este trabajo presentamos 4 casos de DM1A asociado con MG fuera de dicho síndrome (AU)


Introduction: The development of immune tolerance to autoantibodies (AAbs) is referred to as self-tolerance. Type 1A Diabetes Mellitus (1ADM) is a metabolic disorder secondary to autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and insulitis. Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by postsynaptic blockade of the myoneural plate by AAbs against acetylcholine receptors (Acra) or against postsynaptic membrane molecules. The association between 1ADM and MG may be observed in polyglandular syndrome type III, characterized by autoimmune disease of the thyroid associated with other autoimmune conditions. Methods: Case report; four patients between 7-19 years old, with an association of MG and 1ADM seen at the Garrahan Hospital. Conclusion: Hashimoto's thyroiditis and celiac disease are autoimmune diseases most frequently related to 1ADM in our population. In the literature, the association of MG and Hashimoto's thyroiditis has been described and its coexistence with 1ADM is reported in polyglandular syndrome III. In this study we present 4 cases of 1ADM associated with MG unrelated to this syndrome. (AU)

ABSTRACT

As a member of G protein coupled-receptors superfamily, free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1), is also known as GPR40, has been shown to regulate numerous pathophysiological processes in a variety of tissues and organs. The activated FFAR1 has a variety of biological functions. For instance, it can not only regulate metabolism of fatty acids and glucose, but also play an important role in immune inflammatory response, it may be a potential drug target for the treatment of various chronic inflammatory diseases. In this review, we focus on the recent researches of FFAR1's action in the regulation of pathophysiological processes, its molecular mechanism and new agonists development. At the same time, this review will take the discovery of series FFAR1 agonists as examples, and display the applied prospects of FFAR1.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES@#To study the association between early-life factors (including birth weight, method of birth, gestational age, and history of gestational metabolic disorders) and pubertal timing in girls.@*METHODS@#The stratified cluster sampling method was used to select the girls in grades 2-3 and 7-8 from three primary schools and three middle schools in Guangzhou, China from March to December, 2019, and breast development was examined for all girls. A questionnaire survey was performed to collect the information on early-life factors. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association of gestational metabolic disorders, birth weight, method of birth, and gestational age with pubertal timing in girls. The Bootstrap method was used to assess the mediation effect of body mass index (BMI) (Z score) between high birth weight (≥4 000 g) and pubertal timing.@*RESULTS@#A total of 1 665 girls were enrolled, among whom 280 (16.82%) were judged to have early pubertal timing. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high birth weight was associated with the increased risk of early pubertal timing (OR=2.12, 95%CI: 1.19-3.66, P=0.008). Nevertheless, no significant association was observed between other early-life factors and pubertal timing (P>0.05). The OR for the mediation effect of BMI (Z score) between high birth weight and early pubertal timing was 1.25 (95%CI: 1.09-1.47), accounting for 29.33% of the total effect of high birth weight on early pubertal timing.@*CONCLUSIONS@#High birth weight is associated with the increased risk of early pubertal timing in girls, and overweight/obesity may play a partial mediating role in the association between high birth weight and early pubertal timing in girls.

ABSTRACT

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a metabolic disorder that occurs due to various etiologies including lifestyle. One of the significant contributors in causing Type-2 diabetes is diet. For high-risk individuals, diet is way more significant in causing Type-2 diabetes. This present study discussed several published papers comprising of various food categories and their effects on type-2 diabetes or its role in causing the disorder. The study revealed the advantages of functional foods and their role in the prevention of T2D. The study has elaborated the outcome of T2D due to consumption of fats, carbohydrates, protein, dietary fibres, red meat, fried food, common beverages like carbonated drinks, and a few other foods. The authors also reviewed T2D from the aspect of religion, region, specific lifestyles, smoking and drinking habit and body weight. Overall, the study has successfully drawn a map of the spectrum of dietary role in T2D including its prevention, increasing the risk of T2D, its causation and affecting the outcome of the disorder.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El objetivo del trabajo fue analizar los valores de hemoglobina glucosilada en el tercer trimestre de embarazo como predictores alternativos de la diabetes gestacional en pacientes del Noreste de México. Se trata de un estudio retrospectivo de casos y controles a partir de 121 expedientes de pacientes embarazadas, divididos en dos grupos, pacientes con diabetes gestacional (casos) y gestantes con valores glucémicos normales (controles). Se analizaron los factores de riesgo asociados a la diabetes gestacional y se obtuvo un punto de corte para la hemoglobina glucosilada. Se encontró que la obesidad materna, la edad y el antecedente del padecimiento fueron asociados significativamente con la diabetes gestacional. Valores de hemoglobina glucosilada ≥5% incrementaron el riesgo de padecer diabetes mellitus gestacional 4 veces y, aunado a un factor de riesgo, la probabilidad se incrementó 7 veces. Se concluye que los valores de hemoglobina glucosilada en el tercer trimestre de embarazo podrían emplearse como prueba diagnóstica de la diabetes gestacional en pacientes del Noreste de México. Sin embargo, aunque las diferencias encontradas fueron estadísticamente significativas, los resultados se deben interpretar con cautela y requieren su confirmación con estudios que incluyan una muestra mayor.


Abstract The objective of this study was to analise glycosylated hemoglobin values in the third trimester of pregnancy as an alternative predictor of gestational diabetes in North East Mexican cohort patients. This is a retrospective case-control study based on 121 records of pregnant patients, divided into two groups, patients with gestational diabetes (cases) and pregnant women with normal glycemic values (control). The risk factors associated with gestational diabetes were analised and a cut-off point for glycosylated hemogestaglobin was obtained. It was found that maternal obesity, age and a history of the condition were significantly associated with gestational diabetes. Values of glycosylated hemoglobin ≥5% increased the risk of suffering from gestational diabetes 4 times, and coupled with a risk factor, the risk increased 7 times. It is concluded that glycosylated hemoglobin values in the third trimester of pregnancy could be used as a diagnostic test for gestational diabetes in patients from the North East of Mexico. Although the differences found were statistically significant, our results must be interpreted with caution and require confirmation by studies with a larger sample.


Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os valores da hemoglobina glicada no terceiro trimestre de gestação como preditores alternativos do diabetes gestacional em pacientes na região nordeste do México. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo de casos e controles utilizando 121 prontuários de gestantes divididas em dois grupos; pacientes com diabetes gestacional (casos) e gestantes com valores de glicemia normais (controles). Foram analisados os fatores de risco associados a diabetes gestacional obtendo-se um ponto de corte para a hemoglobina glicada. Descobriu-se que a obesidade materna, idade e antecedentes da doença foram associados significativamente ao diabetes gestacional. Valores da hemoglobina glicada ≥ 5% aumentaram o risco de padecer diabetes mellitus gestacional 4 vezes, e juntamente a um fator de risco, a probabilidade aumentou 7 vezes. Conclui-se que os valores da hemoglobina glicada no terceiro trimestre de gestação poderiam ser usados como teste diagnóstico do diabetes gestacional em pacientes da região nordeste do México. Embora as diferenças encontradas tenham sido estatisticamente significativas, os resultados devem ser interpretados com cautela e requerem confirmação através de estudos que incluam uma amostra maior.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La urolitiasis se ha incrementado en las últimas décadas. La enfermedad renal poliquística autosómica dominante (ERPAD), enfermedad renal hereditaria más frecuente, ocupa un lugar preponderante. Objetivos: Identificar la frecuencia de presentación de los trastornos metabólicos urinarios en pacientes litiásicos cubanos con ERPAD y sin ella Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal. Fueron estudiados 579 pacientes adultos sin ERPAD, seleccionados por muestreo simple aleatorio y los 21 pacientes con ERPAD, del total de pacientes con litiasis urinaria que se realizó estudio metabólico renal en el Laboratorio de Fisiopatología Renal del Instituto de Nefrología, en el periodo 2010-2015. Los datos fueron tomados de la historia clínica y del informe de estudio metabólico renal. La información se procesó de forma automatizada (SPSS 22.0). Se utilizó el promedio, desviación estándar, análisis de distribución de frecuencias y el test de homogeneidad. Resultados: En los pacientes con ERPAD predominó el sexo femenino (57,1 por ciento), mientras que en los pacientes sin ERPAD, el masculino (63,4 por ciento). Los trastornos más frecuentes en la población no poliquística fueron hipercalciuria (45,3 por ciento) e hipofosfatemia (17,1 por ciento). En los poliquísticos, aclaramiento aumentado de ácido úrico (38,1 por ciento) e hipercalciuria (23,8 por ciento). Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas para aumento del aclaramiento de ácido úrico (p = 0,01) e hiperfosfatemia (p = 0,04). Conclusiones: Los principales trastornos metabólicos de los pacientes litiásicos, tanto poliquísticos como no poliquísticos, son el aclaramiento de ácido úrico aumentado, hipercalciuria, hiperuricosuria e hipofosfatemia, aunque el orden de presentación es diferente. El aclaramiento de ácido úrico aumentado y la hiperfosfatemia se presentan con mayor frecuencia en los pacientes litiásicos poliquísticos(AU)


Introduction: Urolithiasis has increased in recent decades. Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common of all hereditary kidney diseases, occupies a predominant position in terms of incidence. Objectives: Identify the frequency of occurrence of urinary metabolic disorders in Cuban urolithiasis patients with and without ADPKD. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted of 579 adult patients without ADPKD selected by simple random sampling, and 21 patients with ADPKD, from the total urolithiasis patients undergoing renal metabolic evaluation at the Renal Physiopathology Laboratory of the Institute of Nephrology in the period 2010-2015. Data were obtained from medical records and reports of renal metabolic studies. Information was processed with the statistical software SPSS version 22.0. Average and standard deviation were estimated and use was made of frequency distribution analysis and homogeneity testing. Results: A predominance was found of female sex among patients with ADPKD (57.1 percent) and male sex among patients without ADPKD (63.4 percent). The most common disorders were hypercalciuria (45.3 percent) and hypophosphatemia (17.1 percent) in the non-polycystic population, and increased uric acid clearance (38.1 percent) and hypercalciuria (23.8 percent) in polycystic patients. Statistically significant differences were found in uric acid clearance increase (p = 0.01) and hyperphosphatemia (p = 0.04). Conclusions: The main metabolic disorders of lithiasis patients, polycystic as well as non-polycystic, are increased uric acid clearance, hypercalciuria, hyperuricosuria and hypophosphatemia, with a varying order of presentation. Increased uric acid clearance and hyperphosphatemia are more common in polycystic lithiasis patients(AU)

ABSTRACT

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second major neurodegenerative disease.The pathogenesis of PI) is still unclear.It is generally believed that neural damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress and autophagy dysfunction caused by the transmission and aggregation of a- synuclein play an important role in the occurrence and development of PD.More and more research show- that metabolic disorder is one of the pathogenesis of PD.We examined whether overexpression of a- synuclein could induce metabolic disorder in mice and the possible mechanisms.Mice were divided into two groups: Thyl-aSYN transgenic mice (TG) and the control wild-type (WT) group.The rotarod test was used to analyze motor function in mice.We detected the body weight, plasma insulin content, glucose tolerance and insulin tolerance in the two group mice.The morphology of islets in the two groups were observed by hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, and the islets were isolated to detect the glucose- stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS).The results showed that compared with the WT group, exercise tolerance of 12-month-old TG group decreased by 23.1% (P < 0.05) , body weight increased by 7% (P < 0.01), glucose tolerance decreased (P < 0.05), insulin tolerance decreased (P < 0.05), and insulin contents in the peripheral blood decreased by 20% (P < 0.05).Compared with the WT group, the levels of ce -syn proteins in the pancreas of the TG group increased by 1.32 times (P < 0.05) , the area of islets in the TG group decreased (P < 0.05 ) , the number of islets decreased (P < 0.01) , and the insulin secretion function decreased (P< 0.01).This study showed that the role of a-synuclein in PD is not limited to the damage of dopaminergic neurons, it also can affect metabolism and the morphology and function of peripheral organs, which provides a new theoretical basis for the pathogenesis of PD.

ABSTRACT

Metabolic disorders, such as glucose and lipid, are likely to occur after renal transplantation, leading to graft dysfunction and reduced long-term survival. Trigonelline is a type of natural alkaloid with various biological activities, which can alleviate the metabolic disorders of glucose, lipid and other types, and relieve inflammatory reaction, oxidative stress and cell apoptosis of the kidney, thereby protecting the renal function. Therefore, trigonelline may be a potential drug to regulate metabolic disorders after renal transplantation. In this article, the role of trigonelline in metabolic disorders of glucose, lipid and other types, and its application prospect in renal transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for alleviating metabolic disorders after renal transplantation and improving the long-term survival of renal transplant recipients and transplanted kidneys.

Objective:To investigate the association of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)gene G308A single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)with childhood obesity and metabolic disorders.Methods:A total of 620 obese children admitted to our pediatric department from January 2015 to December 2019 were selected as research subjects, who were divided into metabolic non-healthy group( n=267)and metabolic healthy group( n=353), and 260 healthy children were selected as the control group. Single nucleotide polymorphism of TNF-α gene G308A was detected, serum TNF-α level, obesity indicators, glucose and lipid metabolism indicators were compared among the children in various groups. Results:No significant differences in body mass index(BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, and serum TNF-α level were found between metabolic non-healthy group and metabolic healthy group( P>0.05), but higher than those in control group( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in fasting plasma glucose(FPG)and total cholesterol(TC) levels among the three groups( P>0.05). The levels of fasting insulin(FINS), fasting glucagon(FGC), HbA 1C, triglyceride(TG), and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C)in metabolic non-health group and metabolic health group were significantly higher than those in control group, higher in metabolic non-health group compared with metabolic healthy group( P<0.05). HDL-C level in two obese groups was significantly lower than that in control group, lower in metabolic non-health group compared with metabolic healthy group( P<0.05). The frequencies of GG genotype and allele G in metabolic non-healthy group and metabolic healthy group were significantly lower than those in control group, lower in metabolic non-health group compared with metabolic healthy group. The frequencies of AA, GA genotypes and allele A were significantly higher in metabolic non-health group than those in metabolic healthy group( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in TNF-α, FPG, and TC among AA, GA and GG groups( P>0.05). BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, FINS, FGC, HbA 1C, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C were comparable between AA type and GA type( P>0.05), but revealed a significant difference compared with GG type( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the level of TNF-α was positively correlated with BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference, FPG, FINS, FGC, HbA 1C, TC, TG, and LDL-C( P<0.05), but negatively correlated with HDL-C( P<0.05). Conclusion:TNF-α gene G308A single nucleotide polymorphism is associated with obesity and metabolic disorders in children.

ABSTRACT

Diabetic foot infections are frequent clinical problem. Properly managed, most can be cured, but many patients needlessly undergo amputations because of improper diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The aim of this study is to evaluate patients with diabetic foot ulcer and their incidences. 320 cases were taken for our study of deferent gender and age group, date of study was from January 2019 to the end of December 2019, study was done in Maysan Endocrine and Diabtology Center. Most cases were males about (59%) of young age group, most of the cases occurred in extreme weathers. Diabetic foot ulcers are preventable lesions, males at active age group more prone to develop diabetic foot lesions because they are more liable to expose to minor trauma during work. Health education for protection of diabetic patients from serious DFU complications

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects and mechanisms of berberine (BBR) against dexamethasone (Dex)-induced metabolic disorders. 3T3-L1 cells were differentiated by Dex treatment and then treated with BBR (2.5, 5, 10 μmol·L-1). Lipid accumulation was detected using oil-red O staining. After review and approval of the ethics committee of the Institute of Materia Medica, Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into three groups. In the BBR treatment group, mice were subcutaneously implanted with an osmotic pump containing Dex and gavaged with BBR (100 mg·kg-1·day-1) for 4 weeks. The model control group was implanted with a Dex osmotic pump with no other treatment. Mice given a saline-filled osmotic pump were used as a negative control. During the study, food intake and body weight were measured weekly. Subcutaneous fat and visceral fat was detected by MRI. At the end of the experiment the plasma levels of total cholesterol (CHO), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), glucose (Glu), and muscle mass were measured. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) and AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) in 3T3-L1 cells and epididymal fat of C57BL/6N mice was evaluated through RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. The results showed that BBR inhibited Dex-induced adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by up to 23% in a dose-dependent manner. In C57BL/6N mice, berberine alleviated hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia and reduced visceral fat accumulation induced by Dex. The results from RT-PCR and Western blot analysis showed that BBR reduced PPARγ expression and increased the phosphorylation of AMPKα in 3T3-L1 cells as well as in adipose tissue. Berberine might alleviate Dex-induced metabolic disorder and visceral fat accumulation by modulating PPARγ and AMPK expression.
