Objective: To determine the value of lymphocyte subsets and granulocyte/monocyte surface markers in predicting the risk of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes (PPDM-A).
Methods: This study included 308 in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). The markers of granulocytes and monocytes and lymphocyte subsets were detected by flow cytometry, and the fluorescence intensity, absolute count and percentage were obtained. Based on the occurrence of diabetes after AP, patients were divided into two groups: PPDM-A and PPNG-A (post-acute pancreatitis with normal glucose). Correlations between granulocyte and monocyte surface markers and lymphocyte subsets were analyzed. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the potential influencing factors of PPDM-A.
Methods: Compared with patients with PPNG-A, patients with PPDM-A tend to be younger (p < 0.001) and have a higher proportion of fatty liver, recurrent pancreatitis, and hyperlipidemic pancreatitis. The results of linear regression showed that B% was negatively correlated with MFI of HLA-DR on monocytes (R2 = 0.145, p < 0.001), B% was positively correlated with CD10-NEUT% (R2 = 0.291, p < 0.001), and MFI of HLA-DR on monocytes was negatively correlated with CD10-NEUT% (R2 = 0.457, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, serous effusion, fatty liver, recurrent pancreatitis, and B% were independent risk factors for the occurrence of PPDM-A.
Conclusion: Our study has first confirmed the correlation between PPDM-A and lymphocyte subsets and CD10-NEUT%. Furthermore we indicated that age, fatty liver, serous effusion, recurrent AP, and B% were independent risk factors for PPDM-A. The mechanism of granulocyte and monocyte surface markers and B lymphocytes on PPDM-A is worthy of study. This would help clarify the pathogenesis of PPDM-A at the cellular level and potentially provide new strategies for immunotherapy and even disease prevention.

Aim: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) contributes to the heavy burden, but there lacks latest and comprehensive global research on the burden of T2DM attributable to low physical activity (LPA). This study aimed to quantify the global and regional burden of T2DM attributable to LPA from 1990 to 2021.
Methods: We utilized data including disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), mortality, age-standardized disability-adjusted life years (ASDR), and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021. We assessed the burden across different ages, genders, and sociodemographic index (SDI). Joinpoint regression analysis was applied to estimated average annual percent change (AAPC).
Results: Between 1990 and 2021, DALYs and mortality of T2DM attributable to LPA increased rapidly. There was an increase in the ASDR and ASMR, with AAPC of 1.09 (95% CI: 1.03-1.16) and 0.32 (95% CI: 0.2-0.43), which was increased faster in males. Low-middle SDI countries have the highest ASDR and highest ASMR. The global PAF for ASDR and ASMR in 2021 is 7.38% and 9.45%. A U-shaped drift pattern was observed in most SDI quintiles in APC model. Population growth is a major contributor to the burden of T2DM, especially in countries with low SDI. Epidemiological changes also play an important role in DALYs and mortality. A negative correlation existed between SDI and both ASMR and ASDR.
Conclusion: Between 1990 and 2021, there was a marked rise in the global burden of T2DM associated with LPA. The findings lay the groundwork for informed decision-making a public health and healthcare delivery.

Objective: Provide an evidence-based basis for the selection of cardiovascular benefit drugs in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Methods: Conduct a comprehensive search of all relevant literature from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trials.gov from their establishment until December 13, 2023, and select randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that meet the pre-established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Use the Cochrane bias risk assessment tool to evaluate the quality of the included literature. Use R 4.3.2 software to conduct network meta-analysis for drug category comparison.
Results: A total of 24 large-scale randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, including 19 intervention measures, and 172 803 patients participated in the study. The results of the network meta-analysis show that: GLP1RA (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81-0.97) and SGLT2i (OR 0.91, 95% CI 0.83-0.99) can reduce the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), GLP1RA (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79-0.97) and SGLT2i (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81-0.99) reduced the risk of cardiovascular death. SGLT2i (OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.62-0.75) reduced the occurrence of hospitalization for heart failure, GLP1RA (OR 0.88, 95% CI 0.81-0.97) and SGLT2i (OR 0.89, 95% CI 0.80-0.97) reduced the occurrence of all-cause death.
Conclusion: In the comparison of new hypoglycemic drug classes, GLP1RA and SGLT2i reduced MACE, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality in T2DM patients with CVD, with no significant difference in efficacy, and DPP4i was noninferior to placebo. Only GLP1RA reduced the risk of nonfatal stroke, and only SGLT2i reduced the risk of HHF.

Objective: To determine whether the use of herbal medicines combined with conventional treatment is more effective than conventional medication alone in improving clinical symptoms in patients with diabetic distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN).
Methods: This multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized controlled clinical trial recruited patients from 6 clinical centers in mainland China. A total of 188 patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the treatment group (Tangbi Formula plus methylcobalamin) and the control group (placebo plus methylcobalamin). Subjects were reassessed after the 24-week intervention. The primary outcomes were differences in changes in clinical signs and symptoms and changes in the Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Score (MDNS) between the two groups before and after treatment. Secondary outcomes were changes in nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and single clinical signs and symptoms as measured by the visual-analogue scale (VAS) and Toronto clinical scoring system (TCSS).
Results: Compared with the placebo group, after 24 weeks of treatment, the MDNS score of TangBi Formula group was significantly reduced (p < 0.001). There were no significant changes in NCV results in either group before or after treatment. Compared with baseline, the difference in the change value of VAS score between the two groups after treatment was statistically significant (p = 0.031). A statistically significant difference in the change value of TCSS after treatment compared to baseline was found between the two groups (p = 0.033 at 12 weeks and p = 0.030 at 24 weeks). No severe adverse events due to study participation or study intervention were reported.
Conclusions and relevance: This trial demonstrated that combining Tangbi Formula with basal therapy can be safer and more effective in improving the symptoms of DSPN patients.

A study of 274 211 outpatient upper endoscopy procedures among individuals aged 18–64 with type 2 diabetes from 2005 to 2021 compared claims for aspiration and associated pulmonary adverse events in the 14 days following upper endoscopy, highlighting the infrequency of such events, with aspiration, aspiration pneumonia, and respiratory failure occurring with frequencies of 6.8, 7.6, and 25.6 cases per 10 000 endoscopies, respectively; there was no significant difference in event rates between users of GLP1-RA and those of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i), and significantly lower rates of pneumonia, respiratory failure, and hospitalization and ER visits among those using GLP-1RA compared with individuals using chronic opioids, albeit without significant changes in documented aspiration or aspiration pneumonia [<","PeriodicalId":189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes","volume":"16 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1753-0407.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142851807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by defective insulin signaling, insulin resistance, and impairment of insulin secretion. Autophagy is a conserved lysosomal-dependent catabolic cellular pathway involved in the pathogenesis of T2D and its complications. Basal autophagy regulates pancreatic β-cell function by enhancing insulin release and peripheral insulin sensitivity. Therefore, defective autophagy is associated with impairment of pancreatic β-cell function and the development of insulin rersistance (IR). However, over-activated autophagy increases apoptosis of pancreatic β-cells leading to pancreatic β-cell dysfunction. Hence, autophagy plays a double-edged sword role in T2D. Therefore, the use of autophagy modulators including inhibitors and activators may affect the pathogenesis of T2D. Hence, this review aims to clarify the potential role of autophagy inhibitors and activators in T2D.
