Objectives To assess the effects of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method We searched The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, Current Contents, LILACS, databases of ongoing trials, reference lists of reviews on the topic of alpha-glucosidase inhibitors and we contacted experts and manufacturers for additional trials. Date of most recent search: December 2003 (Current Contents) and April 2003 (other databases). Randomised controlled trials of at least 12 weeks duration comparing alpha-glucosidase inhibitor monotherapy in patients with type 2 diabetes with any other intervention and that included at least one of the following outcomes: mortality, morbidity, quality of life, glycemic control, lipids, insulin levels, body weight, adverse events. Two reviewers read all abstracts, assessed quality and extracted data independently. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus or by the judgement of a third reviewer. A statistician checked all extracted data entrance in the database. We attempted to contact all authors for data clarification. Results We included 41 trials (8130 participants), 30 investigated acarbose, seven miglitol, one trial voglibose and three trials compared different alpha-glucosidase inhibitors. Study duration was 24 weeks in most cases and only two studies lasted amply longer than one year. We found only few data on mortality, morbidity and quality of life. Acarbose had a clear effect on glycemic control compared to placebo: glycated haemoglobin –0.77% (95% confidence interval –0.90 to –0.64), fasting blood glucose –1.1 mmol/L (95% confidence interval –1.4 to –0.9), post-load blood glucose –2.32 mmol/L (95% confidence interval –2.73 to –1.92). The effect on glycated haemoglobin by acarbose was not dose-dependent. We found a decreasing effect on post-load insulin and no clinically relevant effects on lipids or body weight. Adverse effects were mostly of gastro-intestinal origin and dose dependent. Compared to sulphonylurea, acarbose decreased fasting and post-load insulin levels by –24.8 pmol/L (95% confidence interval –43.3 to –6.3) and –133.2 pmol/L (95% confidence interval –184.5 to –81.8) respectively and acarbose caused more adverse effects. Conclusions It remains unclear whether alpha-glucosidase inhibitors influence mortality or morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes. Conversely, they have a significant effect on glycemic control and insulin levels, but no statistically significant effect on lipids and body weight. These effects are less sure when alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are used for a longer duration. Acarbose dosages higher than 50 mg TID offer no additional effect on glycated haemoglobin but more adverse effects instead. Compared to sulphonylurea, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors lower fasting and post-load insulin levels and have an inferior profile regarding glycemic control and adverse effects.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of interactive message management on patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsCNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, Web of Science, PubMed and The Cochrane Library databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of T2DM with interactive message intervention from inception to May 2021. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Revman5.3 software.ResultsA total of 17 RCTs involving 1 827 patients were included. Results of meta-analyses showed that compared with routine management, interactive message combined with routine management was associated with improvement of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol in T2DM patients. However, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, or high-density lipoprotein were not improved. ConclusionsThe current evidence shows that interactive message combined with routine management can significantly reduce blood glucose level, body mass index, systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol in T2DM patients. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusions.
The incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in adolescents has been rapidly increasing over the past two decades due to dramatic changes in dietary structure and physical activity. The incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a serious vision-threatening complication of diabetes, is also increasing yearly in the adolescent population with T2DM. Due to the insidious onset of retinal diseases in the early stages, regular screening is important for the timely diagnosis of DR. However, there are still problems such as low attention of the population and insufficient screening rate. In the future, we should strengthen the health education of the adolescent population and optimize the control of risk factors such as blood glucose and blood pressure. At the same time, appropriate screening strategies should be actively developed, and the use of telemedicine and emerging technologies should be promoted for early detection of treatable lesions to improve patient prognosis.
Objective To explore the feasibility and operation points of establishing duodenal-jejunal bypass （DJB）surgery animal model in Goto-Kakizaki （GK） rats. Methods Sixteen GK rats were randomly divided into experimental group （n=8） and control group （n=8）. In a standardized preoperative， intraoperative， and postoperative operation， the rats of experimental group and control group received DJB and sham surgery respectively. The fasting plasma glucose and body mass were observed before operation， and 1， 2， 3， and 4 weeks after operation in order to evaluate whether the models were established successfully. Survival situation of rats were observed too. Results All experimental rats survived at 4 weeks after the operation. Compared with the levels before operation， the fasting plasma glucose levels of experimental group decreased significantly （P＜0.05） at 1 week after operation， and remained stable at 2， 3， and 4 weeks after operation.The fasting plasma glucose levels of control group did not change statistically at all time points after operation （P＞0.05）. Compared with control group at the same time point， the fasting plasma glucose level of experimental group was lower （P＜0.05）， indicating that DJB models were established successfully. After 4 weeks， the value of body mass added in experimental group was significantly lower than those of control group （P＜0.05）. Conclusions DJB is a feasible， safe， and effective hypoglycemic surgery. The application of this set of experimental operating procedures can reduce the risk of intraoperative and postoperative mortality， and can develop a stable DJB model in Goto-Kakizaki rats.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity and its comorbidities. MethodsSuch databases as PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2013), CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data, etc. were electronically searched from inception to November 2013, for including all studies on Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity and its comorbidities. According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and evaluated methodological quality of included studies. And then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. ResultsA total of 25 before and after self-control studies involving 2 966 cases with overweight or obesity were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that:after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operation, the patients had significant reduction in BMI (MD=-16.40, 95%CI-17.42 to-15.38, P < 0.000 01), type 2 diabetes mellitus prevalence (RR=0.23, 95%CI 0.17 to 0.31, P < 0.000 01), and hypertension prevalence (RR=0.34, 95%CI 0.26 to 0.43, P < 0.000 01); besides, fasting glucose, blood pressure and serum lipid levels obviously decreased (P < 0.000 01). ConclusionRoux-en-Y gastric bypass for obesity patients is effective in reducing weight loss, type 2 diabetes mellitus incidence and cardiovascular disease incidence. Due to the limitation of the design of the included studies, the conclusion needs to be verified by further conducting high quality randomized controlled trials with large sample-size.
Objective To explore the effects on quality of life (QOL), the targeted rates of metabolic parameters and cost-effectiveness in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients who underwent multifactorial intensive intervention. Methods One hundred and twenty seven cases in an intensive intervention and 125 cases in a conventional intervention group were investigated by using the SF-36 questionnaire. The comparison of QOL and the targeted rates of metabolic parameters between the two groups were made. We assessed the influence factors of QOL by stepwise regression analysis and evaluated the efficiency by pharmacoeconomic cost-effectiveness analysis. Results The targeted rates of blood glucose, blood lipid and blood pressure with intensive policies were significantly higher than those with conventional policy (P＜0.05). The intensive group’s role limitations due to physical problems (RP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), role limitation due to emotional problems (RE) and total scores after 6 months intervention were significantly higher than those of baseline (P＜0.05). The vitality scores and health transition (HT) of the intensive group were better than those of the conventional group after 6 months intervention. But the QOL scores of the conventional group were not improved after intervention. The difference of QOL’s total scores after intervention was related to that of HbA1c. The total cost-effectiveness rate of blood glucose, blood lipid, blood pressure control and the total cost-effectiveness rate of QOL with intensive policy were higher than those with the conventional policy. Conclusions Quality of life and the targeted rates of blood glucose, blood lipid and blood pressure in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients with multifactorial intensive intervention policy are better and more economic than those with conventional policy.
ObjectiveTo observe expre with ssions of insulin receptor substrate 1(IRS-1) and ubiquitin-protein in skeletal muscle of non-obese rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus following gastric bypass operation (GBP), and to investigate possible mechanism of GBP in improving insulin resistance. MethodsMale GK rats were randomly divided into diabetic operation group (DO group), diabetic sham operation group (DSO group), and diabetic control group (DC group), 8 rats in each group; besides 8 male Wistar rats were served as normal control group (NC group). Fasting body weight (FBW), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and fasting insulin (FINS) were measured respectively before operation and on week 1, 2, 4 and 8 after operation. Homeostasis model-insulin resistant (HOMA-IR) index was calculated respectively before operation and on week 8 after operation. The expressions of IRS-1 protein and ubiquitin-protein in skeletal muscle were detected by using Western blot method on week 8 after operation. Results① Compared with the preoperative levels, the FBWs on week 1, 2, and 4 after operation markedly decreased (P < 0.05), but it recovered to the preoperative level on week 8 after operation (P > 0.05) in the DO group; which in the DSO group decreased on week 1 after operation (P < 0.05) and then increased on week 4 after operation (P < 0.05); which in the DC group or the NC group increased continuously and had a significant difference on week 8 after operation (P < 0.05).② The FPGs in the DO, DSO and DC groups were significantly higher than those of the NC group before operation (P < 0.05), which in the DO group decreased from (9.10±0.98) mmoL/L before operation to (5.70±0.91) mmol/L on week 8 after operation (P < 0.05) and were significantly lower than those of the DSO group or the DC group on week 2, 4, and 8 after operation (P < 0.05); which in the DC group, DSO group and NC group had no obviously changes between before and after operations (P > 0.05). ③ The FINS had no significant differences among these four groups before operation (P > 0.05), which in the DO group obviously increased[(9.64±1.59) mU/L] on week 2 after operation (P < 0.05) and then obviously decreased[(6.58±1.05) mU/L] on week 8 after operation (P < 0.05) and significantly lower than those of the DSO group or the DC group on week 8 after operation (P < 0.05), while which had no significant difference between before and after operations in the DSO group, the DC group, or the NC group (P > 0.05). ④ The HOMA-IR index in the DO, DSO or DC group was significantly higher than that of the NC group before operation (P < 0.05), which in the DO group markedly decreased from 3.18±0.50 before operation to 1.96±0.63 on week 8 after operation (P < 0.05) and significantly lower than that of the DSO group or the DC group on week 8 after operation (P < 0.05), while which had no significant difference between before and after operations in the DSO group, the DC group, or the NC group (P > 0.05). ⑤ The expression of IRS-1 protein in the DO group was significantly higher than that in the DSO group (P < 0.05) or the DC group (P < 0.05) on week 8 after operation. While there was no significant difference between the DSO and the DC group after operation (P > 0.05). ⑥ Compared with the NC group, the expression of ubiquitin-protein was significantly increased in the DO group, the DSO group, or the DC group (P < 0.05). Compared with the DSO group or the DC group, the expression of ubiquitin-protein was significantly decreased in the DO group on week 8 after operation (P < 0.05), especially it was most obvious near the molecular weight of 180×103. While there was no significant difference between the DSO group and the DC group after operation (P > 0.05). ConclusionsExpression of IRS-1 protein in skeletal muscle insulin signaling pathway in type 2 diabetes mellitus rats following GBP is increased, it might be associated with decreasing ubiquitin-protein level in skeletal muscle, thus reduces the IRS-1 ubiquitin-degradation, increase insulin sensitivity, and improve insulin resistance of skeletal muscle.
ObjectiveTo investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs3754219 in the glucose transporters 1 (GLUT1) gene and genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Han population in Guangdong Province.MethodsA total of 1 092 T2DM patients (case group) and 1 092 healthy controls (control group) diagnosed or examined between November 2011 and October 2014 form 10 hospitals were enrolled in this study. SNPscanTM SNP classification technology was used to detect the polymorphism of rs3754219 of GLUT1 genetype. Finally, 1 067 T2DM patients and 1 054 healthy controls were included, removing 37 individuals with SNP typing deletion rates >20% and 26 individucals with failed SNP site genotyping. The differences in allele frequency distribution, genotype, and genetic models between the two groups were analyzed.ResultsAfter correction for age and body mass index, there was no statistically significant difference in allele frequency or polymorphism genotype frequency of rs3754219 (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups under different genetic models (P>0.05).ConclusionGenetic susceptibility to T2DM in Han population in Guangdong Province may be unrelated to the GLUT1 rs3754219 SNP.
ObjectivesTo systematically review the detection rate of depression in Chinese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CBM, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect observational studies on the detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM from inception to January, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and evaluated the quality of included studies. Meta-analysis was performed by R 3.6.1 software.ResultsA total of 29 studies involving 96 557 cases were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the total detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM was 27% (95%CI 24% to 30%). Subgroup analysis showed that the detection rate of depression in female was 32% (95%CI 20% to 45%), and in male was 26% (95%CI 18% to 37%). The detection rate of depression in rural areas was 36% (95%CI 18% to 54%), and in urban areas was 30% (95%CI 16% to 43%). The detection rate of depression in individuals aged 60 and above was 31% (95%CI 24% to 39%), and in individuals aged less than 60 was 23% (95%CI 10% to 36%). Individuals with a primary school education and below, a middle or high school education and college degree and above education had detection rate of 31%, 23% and 22%, respectively. Individuals with diabetes duration less than 5 years, 5 to 10 years and more than 10 years had detection rates of 23%, 25% and 30%, respectively. Individuals with and without complications had detection rates of 43% and 26%, respectively. The detection rates of mild and moderate to major depression were 20% and 10%, respectively.ConclusionsThe detection rate of depression in Chinese with T2DM is high. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify above conclusion.
Objective To study the therapeutic effect of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass （RYGB） on type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） rats and explore the possible mechanism of vaspin in RYGB on T2DM. Methods Twenty SD rats with T2DM and 20 age- and sex-matched normal SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups according to the random digits table：T2DM-RYGB group， T2DM-sham operation （SO） group，RYGB group，and SO group，10 rats in each group. Fasting plasma glucose （FPG） level，serum insulin （INS） level，vaspin level，and homeostasis model of insulin resistance （HOMA-IR） were determined before operation and on week 4，8 after operation，respectively．At the same time，the correlation between vaspin and the indicators （FPG，INS，or HOMA-IR） was analyzed．Results Compared the indicators after operation with before operation，the FPG level，INS level，vaspin level，and HOMA-IR were not significantly different between the T2DM-RYGB group and T2DM-SO group （P＞0.05） or between the RYGB group and SO group （P＞0.05），but the FPG level，INS level，vaspin level，and HOMA-IR in the T2DM-RYGB group and T2DM-SO group were significantly higher than those in the RYGB group （P＜0.05） and SO group （P＜0.05），respectively. On week 4 after operation，the FPG level，INS level，vaspin level，and HOMA-IR decreased in the T2DM-RYGB group，except for the FPG level，the other indexes had no significant differences as compared with the values before operation. On week 8 after operation，the FPG level，INS level，vaspin level，and HOMA-IR further decreased in the T2DM-RYGB group，there were significant differences of these indicators between before operation and on week 8 after operation. Compared the indicators after operation with before operation，the FPG level，INS level，vaspin level，and HOMA-IR were not statistically significant （P＞0.05） in the T2DM-SO group，RYGB group，or SO group. The changes in serum vaspin level correlated positively with those in INS and HOMA-IR before operaion and on week 4，8 after operaion in the T2DM-RYGB group and T2DM SO group rats （P＜0.05），respectively. Conclusions RYGB surgery has a therapeutic effect on T2DM rats，and serum vaspin level decreases and insulin resistance is improved after RYGB surgery，which may be one of the mechanisms of the treatment for T2DM.
