Background
Alpha-lipoic acid, epalrestat, and mecobalamin are widely used as monotherapies for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. However, whether a triple-combination therapy with these three drugs is superior to monotherapy or dual therapy remains debatable.
Methods
Nine randomized controlled trials were identified through a search on electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library. The trial participants (N = 1153) were divided into the experimental group who received the triple-combination therapy and the control group who received conventional or dual therapy with the aforementioned drugs.
Results
Therapeutic outcomes were better in the experimental group than in the control group (odds ratio: 3.74; 95 % confidence interval: 2.57–5.45; I2 = 0 %; p < 0.00001). No statistic difference was noted in adverse effects. Compared with the control group, the experimental group exhibited significant improvements in median motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV), sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV), peroneal MNCV, peroneal SNCV, and vibration perception thresholds (VPT) in the left and right lower limbs. In the control group, a subgroup analysis by treatment strategy revealed similar improvements in total efficacy, MNCV, and SNCV.
Conclusions
For diabetic peripheral neuropathy, the triple-combination therapy may be more effective than monotherapy or dual therapy.

Introduction
This study will explore the effectiveness of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of diabetic foot disease compared to conventional treatments, based on the ulcer healing rate.
Methods
The electronic databases of PubMed, EMBASE, and WOS internet were searched. Evaluated outcome rate of complete ulcer healing. Statistical analysis was performed with RevMan 5.0 software and SPSS 25.0.
Results
Eleven RCTs with 828 patients were included in this study. The meta-analysis showed a higher complete ulcer healing rate (OR = 3.69, 95 % CI 2.62 to 5.20, P < 0.01, I2 = 0 %) in growth factors based in autologous platelech-rich plasma (aPRP) group compared with control. Mixed evidence was seen for publication bias, but analyses by using the trim-and-fill method did not appreciably alter results.
Conclusion
Autologous platelet-rich plasma can improve the complete healing rate of the ulcer compared to current conventional treatments in diabetic foot ulcer patients.

Aims
Automated insulin delivery systems improve blood glucose control in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, optimizing their performance requires patient's proper compliance to meal insulin bolus administration. We explored real-life prevalence of delayed prandial boluses (DBs) in adults with T1D on advanced technologies, and their association with glycemic control and fear of hypoglycemia (FH).
Methods
In the last two-week web-based reports of 152 adults with T1D on Hybrid Closed Loop Systems (HCLS) or Sensor Augmented Pump (SAP), DBs were identified when a steep increase in blood glucose occurred at CGM before the prandial bolus, and CGM metrics were evaluated. All participants completed an online questionnaire on FH.
Results
Mean DBs over two weeks were 10.2 ± 4.7 (M ± SD, range 1–23) and more frequent in women than men (11.0 ± 4.6 vs. 9.4 ± 4.7, p = 0.036). Participants with more DBs (>12) showed significantly lower Time-In-Range (62.4 ± 13.8 vs. 76.6 ± 9.0 %) than those with less DBs (<7.7), along with higher Time-Above-Range, GMI, and Coefficient-of-Variation (ANOVA, p < 0.001 for all). Participants with higher FH score showed more DBs (11.6 ± 5.0) than those in lower tertiles (9.57 ± 4.59 and 9.47 ± 4.45, ANOVA p = 0.045).
Conclusions
In patients on advanced technologies, delayed boluses are extremely common, and associate with significantly worse glycemic control. Utmost attention is needed to bolus timing, mainly tackling fear of hypoglycemia.

Aims
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) complicates diabetes Mellitus and intimately relates to intrarenal renin–angiotensin system (RAS) activity. Dapagliflozin, a selective inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), has been validated to improve renal outcomes in diabetic patients from clinical research by elusive mechanisms. This study explored the presumption that the eagerness activity of intrarenal RAS in DN generated oxidative stress to promote renal fibrosis, and the process can be interrupted by dapagliflozin.
Methods
A streptozotocin-induced DN model was established in male C57BL/6J mice. Mice were treated with dapagliflozin or losartan for 14 weeks. Biochemical data, renal fibrosis, oxidative stress, and RAS were measured.
Results
DN mice were characterized by overtly low body weight, high levels of blood glucose, and renal injury. Interrupting SGLT2 and RAS significantly improved renal dysfunction and pathological lesions in DN mice. Consistent with these favorable effects, dapagliflozin revoked the local RAS/oxidative stress and the succeeding transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling.
Conclusions
This research clarifies that intrarenal RAS activity triggers renal injury in DN, and dapagliflozin attenuates renal fibrosis by suppressing Angiotensin II/TGFβ signaling. It unravels a novel insight into the role of prevention and treatment of SGLT2 inhibitors to DN.

Aims
To evaluate the effect of treatment with semaglutide and empagliflozin on the cortico-medullary sodium gradient (MCR; medulla/cortex ratio), urine sodium/creatinine ratio (UNACR), and estimated plasma volume (ePV) and to compare the MCR between persons with and without type 2 diabetes.
Methods
Using the 23Na magnetic resonance imaging (23Na-MRI) technique, we investigated the effects of 32 weeks of treatment with semaglutide, empagliflozin or their combination on MCR in 65 participants with type 2 diabetes and high risk of cardiovascular disease. The participants were recruited from a randomized, controlled interventional trial and further characterized by UNACR and ePV. In addition, in a cross-sectional design, we compared MCR by 23Na-MRI in 12 persons with type 2 diabetes and 17 matched controls. Data from the interventional trial were analyzed using a single, multivariate linear mixed model strategy for repeated measurements. Data from the cross-sectional study were analyzed by fitting a linear regression model adjusted for age and sex.
Results
Compared to placebo, semaglutide, but not empagliflozin, significantly decreased the MCR (−9 %, 95%CI (−18, −0.06)%, p = 0.035 and −0.05 %, 95%CI(−0.15, 0.05)%, p = 0.319, respectively). The UNACR decreased in the semaglutide group(−35 %, 95 % CI(−52, −14) %, p = 0.003) but not in the empagliflozin group (7 %, 95 % CI(−21, 44)%, p = 0.657), whereas the ePV decreased in the combination group. The MCR was not different between persons with and without type 2 diabetes.
Conclusion
23Na magnetic resonance imaging can identify drug induced changes in the MCR in persons with type 2 diabetes, and 32 weeks of semaglutide decreases the MCR in such persons. There is no difference in the MCR between persons with and without type 2 diabetes.

Aim
Skeletal muscle mass to visceral fat area ratio (SVR) has been recognised as an index of sarcopenic obesity. SVR is associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), metabolic syndrome and arterial stiffness which are known risk factors for cognitive dysfunction. We aimed to investigate association between SVR and cognitive function in patients with T2DM.
Methods
This was a cross-sectional study of 1326 patients with T2DM and mean age 61.3 ± 8.0 years. SVR was assessed based on bioelectrical impedance measurements of muscle mass and visceral fat area (VFA). Cognitive function was assessed using Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Linear regression was used to examine the association between SVR in quartiles and RBANS score, adjusting for demographics, education, presence of depressive symptoms, clinical covariates and medications.
Results
The lower SVR quartiles were negatively associated with RBANS total score in the unadjusted analysis. The corresponding coefficients for Quartiles 1 and 2 SVR were −3.79 (95 % CI −5.39 to −2.19; p < 0.001) and −1.47 (95 % CI −2.86 to −0.07; p = 0.039) in fully adjusted analysis. The negative association between Quartile 1 SVR and RBANS score was evident in immediate memory, delayed memory, visuo-spatial construction, language and attention domains. Muscle mass and VFA alone had weaker associations with RBANS scores.
Conclusion
Our study demonstrated, for the first time, an independent association between reduced SVR and lower cognitive function. This is evident in global and multiple cognitive domains. The synergistic effects of reduced muscle mass and visceral obesity may be more pronounced than their independent effects on cognitive function.
目的骨骼肌质量与内脏脂肪面积比(SVR)被认为是肌肉疏松性肥胖的指标。SVR 与 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)、代谢综合征和动脉僵化有关,而这些都是已知的认知功能障碍的风险因素。我们的目的是研究 SVR 与 T2DM 患者认知功能之间的关系。方法这是一项横断面研究,研究对象为 1326 名 T2DM 患者,平均年龄为 61.3 ± 8.0 岁。SVR 根据肌肉质量和内脏脂肪面积(VFA)的生物电阻抗测量结果进行评估。认知功能使用神经心理状态评估可重复性电池(RBANS)进行评估。在对人口统计学、教育程度、是否存在抑郁症状、临床协变量和药物进行调整后,采用线性回归法检测 SVR 四分位数与 RBANS 分数之间的关系。在完全调整分析中,SVR 四分位数 1 和 2 的相应系数分别为 -3.79 (95 % CI -5.39 to -2.19; p < 0.001) 和 -1.47 (95 % CI -2.86 to -0.07; p = 0.039)。第 1 季度 SVR 与 RBANS 评分之间的负相关在即时记忆、延迟记忆、视觉空间结构、语言和注意力领域都很明显。我们的研究首次证明了 SVR 降低与认知功能降低之间的独立联系。我们的研究首次证明了 SVR 降低与认知功能降低之间的独立关联。肌肉量减少和内脏肥胖的协同作用可能比它们对认知功能的独立影响更明显。

Aims
Growing preclinical and clinical evidence has suggested the potential method of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UCMSC) therapy for diabetic foot. Thus, the authors provided an outline of the application of UCMSCs in the treatment of diabetic foot and further summarized the roles and mechanisms of this therapy.
Data synthesis
With no time limitations, the authors searched the Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PubMed (MEDLINE) databases. 14 studies were included, including 9 preclinical experiments and 5 clinical trials (3 RCTs and 2 single-arm trials).
Conclusions
The UCMSCs are of great efficacy and safety, and function mainly by reducing inflammation, regulating immunity, promoting growth factors, and enhancing the functions of vascular endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and keratinocytes. As a result, ulcer healing-related biological processes ensue, which finally lead to diabetic foot ulcer healing and clinical symptom improvement. UCMSC treatment enhances diabetic foot ulcer healing and has a safety profile. They function mainly by modulating immunity, promoting growth factor secretion, and enhancing cellular functions. More well-designed preclinical and clinical studies are needed to provide the most optimal protocol, the comprehensive molecular mechanisms, as well as to further evaluate the efficiency and safety profile of UCMSC treatment in diabetic foot patients.
目的越来越多的临床前和临床证据表明,脐带间充质干细胞(UCMSC)疗法是治疗糖尿病足的潜在方法。因此,作者概述了脐带间充质干细胞在糖尿病足治疗中的应用,并进一步总结了这种疗法的作用和机制。数据综述在没有时间限制的情况下,作者检索了 Web of Science、Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials 和 PubMed (MEDLINE) 数据库。结论 UCMSCs 具有很好的疗效和安全性,主要通过减轻炎症、调节免疫、促进生长因子以及增强血管内皮细胞、成纤维细胞和角质形成细胞的功能发挥作用。因此,溃疡愈合相关的生物过程随之发生,最终导致糖尿病足溃疡愈合和临床症状改善。UCMSC 治疗可促进糖尿病足溃疡愈合,且具有安全性。它们主要通过调节免疫、促进生长因子分泌和增强细胞功能发挥作用。我们需要更多精心设计的临床前和临床研究,以提供最理想的方案、全面的分子机制,并进一步评估 UCMSC 治疗糖尿病足患者的有效性和安全性。

Aims
In this study we described the clinical and laboratory features of children presented with diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and evaluated its course up to 2 years after initial diagnosis to investigate the progression rate of T1DM in both groups.
Methods
This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study that included 59 children and adolescents presented with either diabetic ketosis (DK) (n = 27) or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) (n = 32) at their first diagnosis with T1DM.
Results
Apart from the metabolic state of presentation at diagnosis, differences in the other basic clinical and laboratory features of both DK and DKA were not statistically significant (age, BMI, pre- diagnosis symptomatic period, HbA1c, multiplicity of autoantibodies positivity, fasting insulin, and total IgG levels), except from the C-peptide and IgA levels which were lower in DKA (p < 0.05). Regarding family history, only the DK group had individuals with a parent diagnosed with T1DM (p = 0.001). During follow-up there was no difference in the levels of HbA1c, basal insulin dose, and insulin/carbohydrate ratio between the DK and DKA group at 3,6,12 and 24 months' time points.
Conclusions
The severity of presentation of T1DM (DK or DKA) is not associated to the rate of progression of the disease course after diagnosis.
