Aims Elevated sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) concentrations have been described in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), probably due to low portal insulin concentrations. We aimed to investigate whether the route of insulin administration, continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion (CIPII), or subcutaneous (SC), influences SHBG concentrations among T1DM patients. Methods Post hoc analysis of SHBG in samples derived from a randomized, open-labeled crossover trial was carried out in 20 T1DM patients: 50% males, mean age 43 (±13) years, diabetes duration 23 (±11) years, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 8.7 (±1.1) (72 (±12) mmol/mol). As secondary outcomes, testosterone, 17-β-estradiol, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were analyzed. Results Estimated mean change in SHBG was −10.3nmol/L (95% CI: −17.4, −3.2) during CIPII and 3.7nmol/L (95% CI: −12.0, 4.6) during SC insulin treatment. Taking the effect of treatment order into account, the difference in SHBG between therapies was −6.6nmol/L (95% CI: −17.5, 4.3); −12.7nmol/L (95% CI: −25.1, −0.4) for males and −1.7nmol/L (95% CI: −24.6, 21.1) for females, respectively. Among males, SHBG and testosterone concentrations changed significantly during CIPII; −15.8nmol/L (95% CI: −24.2, −7.5) and −8.3nmol/L (95% CI: −14.4, −2.2), respectively. The difference between CIPII and SC insulin treatment was also significant for change in FSH 1.2U/L (95% CI: 0.1, 2.2) among males. Conclusions SHBG concentrations decreased significantly during CIPII treatment. Moreover, the difference in change between CIPII and SC insulin therapy was significant for SHBG and FSH among males. These findings support the hypothesis that portal insulin administration influences circulating SHBG and sex steroids.

Aim of the study. To elucidate the association between the polymorphous marker A/del132 of the CCR5 gene with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. The study included 177 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and 408 healthy subjects (ethnic Russians). CR5 alleles and genotypes were identified with the use of the real-time amplification technique. Results. It was shown that the CCR5 allele without 32 base pair deletion (allele A) predominated in both diabetic patients and diabetes-free subjects. The difference between their occurrence in the two groups was insignificant. At the same time, we documented a significant rise in the frequency of del132/del132 genotype in the diabetic patients compared with the healthy subjects (p=0.008). It is concluded that carriers of the CCR5-del32/del32 genotype in the Russian population of Moscow are at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes mellitus.

The objective of the present work was to estimate the degree of rigidity of the vascular wall and endothelial function in the patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus at different stages of diabetic retinopathy and in its absence. The study included 118 patients at the age from 18 to 40 years presenting with type 1 diabetes mellitus more than 5 years in duration. The patients were divided into several groups based on the stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR). The control group was comprised of 23 healthy subjects. The contour pulsed wave analysis and the reactive hyperemia test were performed with the use of an Angioscan device. All the patients gave the informed consent to participate in the study. The aortic stiffness index (SI) in all groups of the patents with DM1 and DR was higher than in the healthy subjects. However, the SI values remained normal in the DM1 patients without DR. An increase of SI values was unrelated to the presence of arterial hypertension. The analysis of RI values revealed no statistically significant differences between the groups. The reactive hyperemia test has demonstrated a decrease in the increment of the post-occlusive signal amplitude in a large number of patients suggesting endothelial dysfunction. This decrease was apparent even in the patients exhibiting no signs of retinal damage. However, despite the overall decrease of this parameter, many patients showed its paradoxically high values that probably reflected the elevated baseline level of nitric oxide. The increase of aortic stiffness index with the progression of diabetic retinopathy may be used as an early marker of macrovascular complications even in the patients without arterial hypertension. The lowering of the increment of the post-occlusive signal amplitude in the patients having no signs of retinal damage is indicative of endothelial dysfunction as early as the preclinical stage of DR development. The paradoxically high increment of the signal amplitude is supposed to be associated with the elevation of the baseline level of nitric oxide that in its turn reflects the severity of inflammation and is a factor of high risk of progression of angiopathies.

AbstractAssessing the degree of involvement of caregivers for children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in their diabetes care, differences in the degree of involvement based on the method of insulin administration (multiple daily injections: MDI/continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion: CSII), and its effect on glycemic control.: This was a cross-sectional study with T1DM patients, ages 6–13 years using a six question survey derived from the Diabetes Family Responsibility Questionnaire (DFRQ). All caregivers (n=140) and participants between ages 11 and 13 (n=60) completed the survey.Significant differences between MDI and CSII caregiver responses were found for responsibility for giving insulin boluses, as well as for rotation of infusion/injection sites (p<0.001 and p=0.03, respectively). A sub-analysis of caregiver responses for caregiver versus child responsibility for giving infusion boluses (excluding shared responsibility) showed that 36% of children in the CSII group had primary responsibility for giving insulin boluses, compared to 17% in the MDI group (p<0.001). The median agreement for all questions combined between participants and caregivers for ages 11–13 (n=60 pairs) was “poor” (κ=0.18). No significant effect of parental involvement on last 2-year average HbACaregiver reported diabetes care responsibility (mostly parent, mostly child, shared between parent and child) varies for certain aspects of diabetes related care for children ages 6–13, depending upon the mode of insulin administration. Based on the reported degree of parental collaboration, HbA

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Enhanced platelet reactivity is considered a main determinant of the increased atherothrombotic risk of diabetic patients. Thrombopoietin (THPO), a humoral growth factor able to stimulate megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation, also modulates the response of mature platelets by enhancing both activation and binding to leukocytes in response to different agonists. Increased THPO levels have been reported in different clinical conditions characterized by a generalized pro-thrombotic state, from acute coronary syndromes to sepsis/septic shock, and associated with elevated indices of platelet activation. To investigate the potential contribution of elevated THPO levels in platelet activation in T1DM patients, we studied 28 T1DM patients and 28 healthy subjects. We measured plasma levels of THPO, as well as platelet-leukocyte binding, P-selectin, and THPO receptor (THPOR) platelet expression. The priming activity of plasma from diabetic patients or healthy subjects on platelet–leukocyte binding and the role of THPO on this effect was also studied in vitro. T1DM patients had higher circulating THPO levels and increased platelet–monocyte and platelet–granulocyte binding, as well as platelet P-selectin expression, compared to healthy subjects, whereas platelet expression of THPOR did not differ between the two groups. THPO concentrations correlated with platelet–leukocyte binding, as well as with fasting glucose and Hb1Ac. In vitro, plasma from diabetic patients, but not from healthy subjects, primed platelet–leukocyte binding and platelet P-selectin expression. Blocking THPO biological activity using a specific inhibitor prevented the priming effect induced by plasma from diabetic patients. In conclusion, augmented THPO may enhance platelet activation in patients with T1DM, potentially participating in increasing atherosclerotic risk.

Materials and methods. HLA genotyping was accomplished in 51 DM1 patients and 51 volunteers randomly selected from the indigenous populationof Yakutia (Yakuts in three successive generations). Another 205 DM1 patients and 300 healthy subjects comprised random samples of patients andcontrols respectively from residents of Moscow and Moscow region. Results. HLA DRB1*17(03) allele proved to be the strongest one predisposing to DM1 in the Yakutian population (relative risk, RR=8,47) andDQB1*0304 in the Moscow population (RR=8,94). The presence of DRB1*04, DRB1*17(03), DQA1*0301, DQB1*0201, and DQB1*0302 accountedfor RR >2 in both populations. Only two alleles, DRB1*04 and DRB17(03), in the Yakutian population and five of the six (DRB1*04,DRB1*17(03), DQA1*(0301), DQB1*0302, and DQB1*0304) in the Moscow one were closely associated with DM1 (RR >4). DRB1*09, DRB1*11,DQB1*13, DQB1*0602/8 in Yakutian and DRB1*11, DRB1*13, DQA1*0103, DQB1*0301, DQB1*0602/8 in Moscow populations had the highestprotective potential (RR
