Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the main causes of visual loss in individuals aged 20–64 years old. The aim of this study was to investigate, in a multicenter retrospective cross-sectional study, sex-gender difference in DR in a large sample of type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM). 20,611 T2DM regularly attending the units for the last three years were classified as having: (a) No DR (NDR), (b) nonproliferative DR (NPDR), or (c) preproliferative/proliferative DR (PPDR). DR of all grades was present in 4294 T2DM (20.8%), with a significant higher prevalence in men as compared to women (22.0% vs. 19.3% p < 0.0001). Among DR patients, both NPDR and PPDR were significantly more prevalent in men vs. women (p = 0.001 and p = 0.0016, respectively). Women had similar age and BMI, but longer diabetes duration, worse glycemic metabolic control, and more prevalence of hypertension and chronic renal failure (CRF) of any grade vs. men. No significant differences between sexes were evident in term of drug therapy for diabetes and associate pathologies. Conclusions: In this large sample of T2DM, men show higher prevalence of DR vs. women, in spite of less represented risk factors, suggesting that male sex per se might be a risk factor for DR development.

ObjectiveSerum cystatin C (CysC) is a sensitive marker of kidney function and recent studies have shown that CysC plays a critical role in degenerative diseases in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between serum CysC and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsIn total, 937 type 2 diabetic patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Serum CysC concentration was measured by immunoturbidimetry. DPN was evaluated by neurological symptoms, neurological signs, neurothesiometer, and electromyogram.ResultsSerum CysC levels were significantly higher in DPN patients (1.3 (1.1–1.5) mg/l) compared with patients with signs of DPN (1.1 (0.9–1.3) mg/l, P<0.001) and non-DPN patients (1.0 (0.9–1.3) mg/l, P<0.001). Multiple regression analysis revealed that DPN was associated with age, diabetes duration, HbA1c, and serum CysC. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that serum CysC was closely related with age, sex, diabetes duration, hypertension, glomerular infiltration rate, and serum creatinine (Cr) level. The patients were divided into quartiles according to the serum CysC levels. Compared with quartile 1 (referent), the risk of DPN was significantly higher in quartile 2 (odds ratio (OR), 1.753; 95% CI, 1.055–2.912; P<0.05), quartile 3 (OR, 2.463; 95% CI, 1.445–4.917; P<0.01), and quartile 4 (OR, 5.867; 95% CI, 2.075–16.589; P<0.01). Receiver-operating characteristic analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff point of serum CysC to indicate DPN was 1.25 mg/l in male patients and 1.05 mg/l in female patients. High serum CysC level indicated a onefold higher risk of DPN.ConclusionsHigh serum CysC level is closely associated with DPN and may be a potential biomarker for DPN in type 2 diabetic patients.

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between inflammatory markers, and diabetic retinopathy in type II diabetic patients. Methods: The study was a cross-sectional study included 150 type 2 diabetic patients who were divided into 3 groups. 50 in each group are divided as Diabetic patients without retinopathy (DM, n=50), nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy patients (NPDR, n=50), proliferative diabetic retinopathy patients (PDR, n=50). All the patients were subjected to complete clinical examination and laboratory investigations, such as fasting and postprandial blood glucose, serum creatinine, lipid profile tests, glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting insulin, serum inflammatory markers (TNF-alpha, C-reactive protein) and serum VEGF. Results: The study revealed from the multivariate analysis that age, duration and WHR (waist-hip ratio) are potent risk factors responsible for the risk of Diabetic retinopathy. Similarly, serum creatinine, CRP, TNF- alpha and VEGF are significantly higher in diabetic patients with retinopathy compared to diabetic patients without retinopathy. Conclusion: The study concluded that inflammation was associated with severe diabetic retinopathy in patients with well-controlled diabetes. A possible relationship was provided between the risk factors and biomarkers which are responsible for Diabetic retinopathy. Hence, modifying the risk factors risk and development of severe diabetic retinopathy can be reduced.
