    الوصف: The stimulation of AT1R (Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1) by Angiotensin II has, in addition to the effects on the renin-angiotensin system, also pro-inflammatory effects through stimulation of ADAM17 and subsequent production of INF-gamma and Interleukin-6. This pro-inflammatory action stimulate the cytokine storm that characterizes the most severe forms of SARS-CoV-2 infection. We studied the effect of AT1Rab on the AT1R on 74 subjects with SARS-CoV-2 infection with respiratory symptoms requiring hospitalization. We divided the patients into 2 groups: 34 with moderate and 40 with severe symptoms that required ICU admission. Hospitalized subjects showed a 50% reduction in the frequency of AT1Rab compared to healthy reference population. Of the ICU patients, 33/40 (82.5%) were AT1Rab negative and 16/33 of them (48.5%) died. All 7 patients positive for AT1Rab survived. These preliminary data seem to indicate a protective role played by AT1R autoantibodies on inflammatory activation in SARS-CoV-2 infection pathology.

    الوصف: Background Most patients with methotrexate‐associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX‐LPD) show diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) types. Patients with MTX‐LPD often have spontaneous remission after MTX discontinuation, but chemotherapeutic intervention is frequently required in patients with CHL‐type MTX‐LPD. In this study, we examined whether programmed cell death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) expression levels were associated with the prognosis of MTX‐LPD after MTX discontinuation. Methods A total of 72 Japanese patients diagnosed with MTX‐LPD were clinicopathologically analyzed, and immunohistochemical staining of PD‐L1 was performed in 20 DLBCL‐type and 24 CHL‐type MTX‐LPD cases to compare with the clinical course. Results PD‐L1 was expressed in 5.0% (1/20) of patients with DLBCL‐type MTX‐LPD, whereas it was expressed in 66.7% (16/24) of the patients with CHL‐type MTX‐LPD in more than 51% of tumor cells. Most CHL‐type MTX‐LPD patients with high PD‐L1 expression required chemotherapy owing to exacerbations or relapses after MTX discontinuation. However, no significant differences in clinicopathologic findings at diagnosis were observed between PD‐L1 high‐ and low‐expression CHL‐type MTX‐LPD. Conclusion PD‐L1 expression was significantly higher in patients with CHL‐type than DLBCL‐type MTX‐LPD, suggesting the need for chemotherapy in addition to MTX discontinuation in CHL‐type MTX‐LPD patients to achieve complete remission. No association was observed between PD‐L1 expression levels and clinical findings at diagnosis, suggesting that PD‐L1 expression in tumor cells influences the pathogenesis of CHL‐type MTX‐LPD after MTX discontinuation.
    Patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL)‐type methotrexate‐associated lymphoproliferative disorder (MTX‐LPD) with high programmed cell death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) expression tended to have exacerbations and relapses after MTX discontinuation. Our study suggests that the PD‐1/PD‐L1 pathway may be involved in refractoriness to MTX discontinuation in CHL‐type MTX‐LPD.

    الوصف: Aims/Introduction To evaluate and compare the efficacy of insulin degludec (IDeg) and insulin glargine 300 U/mL (Gla300) 6 months after switching from other basal insulins by assessing the changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), and insulin doses in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in a real‐world clinical setting. Materials and Methods A total of 307 patients with type 1 diabetes and 294 patients with type 2 diabetes with HbA1c >7.0% were studied. Adjusted mean changes in HbA1c, BMI, and insulin doses were compared between IDeg (IDeg group) and Gla300 (Gla300 group) switchers. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out to examine whether the IDeg or Gla300 group was associated with HbA1c or insulin dose reduction and BMI gain. Results HbA1c was significantly decreased in both the IDeg and Gla300 groups. Adjusted mean changes in HbA1c (approximately −0.3% and −0.5% in type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes patients, respectively) and BMI were similar between both groups. The mean change in insulin dose was slightly larger for dose reduction in the IDeg group than in the Gla300 group. Multivariable logistic regression models showed that the IDeg group was significantly associated with insulin dose reduction after adjusting for basal insulin type, insulin dose, and number of basal insulin injections at baseline and other confounding factors. Conclusions The current study suggested that IDeg and Gla300 have similar effects in reducing HbA1c and gaining BMI after switching from other basal insulins in Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. IDeg selection was associated with insulin dose reduction.
    Insulin degludec and insulin glargine 300 U/mL showed similar values of reduction in glycated hemoglobin with body mass index almost unchanged 6 months after switching from other basal insulins in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients. Switching to insulin degludec was significantly associated with a reduction of basal and total insulin doses in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients.

    الوصف: Introduction Insulin, which is used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM), may lead to the development of lipohypertrophy (LH) which can negatively affect the management of diabetes mellitus. Two common methods to detect LH are palpation and superficial subcutaneous ultrasonography (SSU). We investigated the frequency of non-palpable LH using SSU, as well as examining risk factors. Method We included in our study patients who had been receiving insulin injections at least twice a day for over one year without palpable LH. The epidermis and the subcutaneous tissue thickness of each region were examined using SSU. The presence of LH and associated risk factors for LH were evaluated. Results We included 136 patients in our study. The mean age of all patients was 52.87 ± 14.93 years, 59.6% were female and 73.5% had type 2 DM. The duration of DM and insulin usage were 15.76 ± 9.20 and 11.42 ± 8.26 years, respectively. The mean body mass index (BMI) of all patients was 30.59 ± 7.40 kg/m2. Non-palpable LH was detected in 87.5% (n = 116) of the patients using SSU. In the multivariate logistic regression analyses, total cholesterol level, short-acting insulin dose and coronary artery disease (CAD) were associated with LH presence. Conclusion Non-palpable LH can be seen at high rates in patients who have multiple insulin injections. Palpation is likely not enough to detect LH and we believe it would be appropriate to evaluate the presence of LH using SSU, especially for those who need high-dose insulin to control hyperglycaemia.

    الوصف: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a critical microvascular complication of diabetes. With the continuous increase in the prevalence of diabetes since 2000, the prevalence of DKD has also been increasing in past years. The prevalence of DKD among individuals with type 2 diabetes in Taiwan increased from 13.32% in 2000 to 17.92% in 2014. The cumulative incidence of DKD among individuals with type 1 diabetes in Taiwan was higher than 30% during 1999–2012. DKD is the leading cause of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD), with a prevalence of approximately 45% in a population on chronic dialysis in Taiwan. Among individuals with type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of ESRD in the receipt of dialysis also increased from 1.32% in 2005 to 1.47% in 2014. Risk factors for DKD development are age, race, family history, hyperglycemia, hypertension, dyslipidemia, dietary patterns, and lifestyles. Prognostic factors that aggravate DKD progression include age, family history, sex, glycemic control, blood pressure (BP), microvascular complications, and atherosclerosis. This review summarizes updated information on the onset and progression of DKD, particularly in the Taiwanese population. Translating these epidemiological features is essential to optimizing the kidney care and improving the prognosis of DKD in Asian populations.

    الوصف: Aim This study aimed to determine whether there is an association between influenza and new‐onset type 1 diabetes. Materials and methods This population‐based retrospective cohort study used data from the National Database of Health Insurance Claims and Specific Health Check‐ups of Japan. Influenza was defined based on drug prescriptions and the onset of type 1 diabetes was defined using specific medical codes indicating a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. The incidence rate ratio of new‐onset type 1 diabetes within 180 days after an influenza diagnosis was calculated and it was compared with that at other times using Poisson regression and generalized estimating equations. Sensitivity analyses were performed to confirm the robustness of this finding. Results The data of 10,400 patients with new‐onset type 1 diabetes were analyzed, including 2,196 (952 male 1,244 female) patients diagnosed with influenza between 1 September 2014 and 31 August 2017. Although only patients with type 1 diabetes were included, adjusted analysis showed that individuals had a 1.3‐fold (95% confidence interval: 1.15–1.46) higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes in the first 180 days after influenza diagnosis than that at other times. Conclusions In this Japanese population‐based cohort, the risk of new‐onset type 1 diabetes may increase after the diagnosis of influenza. These results, which must be confirmed in other populations, suggest that influenza may be a causal factor for new‐onset type 1 diabetes. The molecular mechanisms underlying the potential etiological relationship between influenza and type 1 diabetes should be elucidated.

    الوصف: Objectives The lower limb complications of diabetes contribute significantly to patient morbidity and health-care costs in Canada. Despite practice guidelines, awareness of and screening for modifiable early pathologies has been inconsistent. Our study objective was to determine the prevalence and types of early foot pathology in a large, Canadian, community care–based diabetes population. Methods This study was a retrospective, observational analysis of the LMC Diabetes & Endocrinology foot care program launched in 2017. We examined foot pathologies associated with vascular, nerve, nail and dermatologic complications, as well as foot deformities. Individuals ≥18 years of age with diabetes, assessed by an LMC chiropodist in Ontario between February 2018 and April 2019, were included in the analysis. Results Of the 5,084 individuals assessed, 470 with type 1 diabetes and 3,903 with type 2 diabetes met the study criteria. Mean age, body mass index and diabetes duration were 61.5 years, 31.3 kg/m2 and 13.9 years, respectively. Reduced pedal pulses, sensory neuropathy and onychomycosis were reported in 8.9%, 16.7% and 14.5% of those in the type 1 diabetes group, and in 19.4%, 26.6% and 28.7% of those in the type 2 group, respectively. Hyperkeratosis was present in 51% and foot deformities were present in 44.5% among both groups. Foot ulcer prevalence was 1.7%, and pedal pulses, sensory neuropathy, hyperkeratosis and onychauxis, adjusted for age, sex, body mass index and diabetes duration, were each significantly associated with ulceration. Conclusions In a large foot screening program of community-based adults with diabetes, modifiable early foot pathologies were prevalent and provided further evidence of the value of consistent screening to alleviate the morbidity and economic burden of lower limb complications.

    الوصف: Aims/Introduction This study aimed to investigate the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in insulin‐treated type 1 diabetes patients administered sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in real‐world clinical practice. Materials and Methods We carried out a real‐world, retrospective, observational cohort study using Japanese Medical Data Vision, a diagnosis procedure combination database. We identified insulin‐treated adult type 1 diabetes patients enrolled from December 2018 to October 2019. We assessed the incidence and risk of DKA in type 1 diabetes patients using SGLT2 inhibitors in an ‘on‐label’ manner. Cox multivariate regression analyses were carried out to determine clinical factors linked to SGLT2 inhibitor‐associated DKA. Results Of 11,475 type 1 diabetes patients, 1,898 (16.5%) were prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors. DKA occurred in 139 (7.3%) of these patients, with 20.2 incidences per 100 person‐years. These patients also showed significantly higher DKA rates than did those not receiving SGLT2 inhibitors (hazard ratio 1.66, 95% confidence interval 1.33–2.06; P
    This study investigated the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) in type 1 diabetes patients using sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors in an ‘on‐label’ manner. We found that SGLT2 inhibitors might increase the DKA risk among insulin‐treated type 1 diabetes patients irrespective of sex, age and body mass index, and that the mean time until DKA onset in SGLT2 inhibitor‐treated type 1 diabetes patients was 30.6 days. Physicians should fully consider the appropriate use of SGLT2 inhibitors in type 1 diabetes patients to prevent DKA.

    الوصف: Background 2‐deoxy‐2‐[fluorine‐18] fluoro‐d‐glucose (18F‐FDG) positron emission tomography (18F‐FDG‐PET) is a convenient modality to assess the metabolic activity within tumor cells. However, there is no consensus regarding the relationship between 18F‐FDG uptake and the immune environment in thymic epithelial tumors (TETs). We conducted a clinicopathological study to elucidate the relationship between 18F‐FDG uptake and programmed death ligands 1 and 2 (PD‐L1/PD‐L2) expression in patients with TETs. Methods: A total of 108 patients with histologically confirmed TETs classified as thymomas or thymic carcinomas who underwent surgical resection or biopsy or needle biopsy and 18F‐FDG PET before any treatment between August 2007 and March 2020 were enrolled in this study. Tumor specimens underwent immunohistochemical staining for PD‐L1, PD‐L2, GLUT1, HIF‐1α, VEGFR2, VEGF‐C, and β2 adrenergic receptor. Results: High uptakes of SUVmax, SUVmean, MTV, and TLG were identified in 28 (25.9%), 61 (56.5%), 55 (50.9%), and 55 (50.9%) of 108 patients, respectively. High uptake of SUVmax significantly correlated with PS (performance status) of 1–2, thymic carcinoma, and advanced stage, and SUVmax on 18F‐FDG uptake displayed a close association with PD‐L1 and PD‐L2 expressions, but not with MTV and TLG. Our analysis revealed that SUVmax was identified as being significant relationship for positive PD‐L1/PD‐L2 expression. GLUT1, HIF‐1α, and VEGFR2 were significantly associated with the expression of PD‐L1/PD‐L2 from the biological viewpoint. Conclusion 18F‐FDG accumulation was closely associated with the expression of PD‐L1/PD‐L2, which, in turn, was correlated with glucose metabolism and hypoxia. PD‐L1/PD‐L2 could affect the glucose metabolism and hypoxia in thymic tumor cells.
    High expression of PD‐L1/PD‐L2 was closely associated with high accumulation of 18F‐FDG. Angiogenetic markers were linked to the expression of PD‐L1/PD‐L2. PD‐L1 and PD‐L2 exhibited a close relationship with upregulation of tumor glucose metabolism and hypoxia.
