    الوصف: Islet transplantation offers a minimally invasive approach for β cell replacement in diabetic patients with hypoglycemic unawareness. Attempts at insulin independence may require multiple islet reinfusions from distinct donors, increasing the risk of allogeneic sensitization. Currently, solid organ pancreas transplant is the only remaining surgical option following failed islet transplantation in the United States; however, the immunologic impact of repeated exposure to donor antigens on subsequent pancreas transplantation is unclear. We describe a case series of seven patients undergoing solid organ pancreas transplant following islet graft failure with long-term follow-up of pancreatic graft survival and renal function. Despite highly variable panel reactive antibody levels prior to pancreas transplant (mean 27 ± 35%), all seven patients achieved stable and durable insulin independence with a mean follow-up of 6.7 years. Mean hemoglobin A1c values improved significantly from postislet, prepancreas levels (mean 8.1 ± 1.5%) to postpancreas levels (mean 5.3 ± 0.1%; p = 0.0022). Three patients experienced acute rejection episodes that were successfully managed with thymoglobulin and methylprednisolone, and none of these preuremic type 1 diabetic recipients developed stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease postoperatively. These results support pancreas-after-islet transplantation with aggressive immunosuppression and protocol biopsies as a viable strategy to restore insulin independence after islet graft failure.

    الوصف: Few current studies compare the outcomes of islet transplantation alone (ITA) and pancreas transplantation alone (PTA) for type 1 diabetes (T1D). We examined these two beta cell replacement therapies in nonuremic patients with T1D with respect to safety, graft function and cost. Sequential patients received PTA (n = 15) or ITA (n = 10) at our institution. Assessments of graft function included duration of insulin independence; glycemic control, as measured by hemoglobin A1c; and elimination of severe hypoglycemia. Cost analysis included all normalized costs associated with transplantation and inpatient management. ITA patients received one (n = 6) or two (n = 4) islet transplants. Mean duration of insulin independence in this group was 35 mo; 90% were independent at 1 year, and 70% were independent at 3 years. Mean duration of insulin independence in PTA was 55 mo; 93% were insulin independent at 1 year, and 64% were independent at 3 years. Glycemic control was comparable in all patients with functioning grafts, as were overall costs ($138 872 for ITA, $134 748 for PTA). We conclude that with advances in islet isolation and posttransplant management, ITA can produce outcomes similar to PTA and represents a clinically viable option to achieve long-term insulin independence in selected patients with T1D.

    الوصف: Pancreas allografts from pediatric donors are considered less suitable due to the increased risk of surgical complications and reduced islet cell mass that may compromise function.All pancreatic transplants, procured from donors younger than 18 years, between January 2007 and March 2017, were included in the analysis. The grafts were subdivided into 3 groups by donor's weight: less than 30 kg, 30 to 60 kg, greater than 60 kg. Analysis of patient and graft survival was done between the groups, and subsequently between the pediatric cohort and the adult-donor control group.Sixty-three pediatric-donor pancreas transplants were performed. The mean donor age and weight were of 12.10 ± 4.13 years and 47.8 ± 21.3 kg. Excellent metabolic control was achieved in 59 (93.65%) patients at the time of discharge and at a mean 5 year follow up, with the average hemoglobin A1c of 5.30 ± 0.61% and blood glucose level of 102.75 ± 20.70 mg/dL in those with a functioning graft. Nine graft losses were registered, of which one (1.6%) was due to arterial thrombosis. Eight (12.7%) patients experienced rejection. Overall graft survival and patient survival were of 85.7% and 92.1%, respectively, at a median follow-up of 37.07 months (minimum, 0.19 to maximum, 119.57). No differences among the 3 groups were identified. Long-term patient and allograft survival was comparable to that of the adult-donor pancreatic transplants.Pediatric-donor pancreas demonstrated excellent short-term outcomes with no surgical complications and promising long-term outcomes despite the smaller islet mass. Pancreata from pediatric donors should not be marginalized and can offset worsening organ shortage.

    الوصف: Islet transplantation offers a minimally-invasive approach for beta cell replacement in diabetic patients with hypoglycemic unawareness. Attempts at insulin independence may require multiple islet re-infusions from distinct donors, thus increasing the risk for allogeneic sensitization. Currently, solid organ pancreas transplant is the only remaining surgical option following failed islet transplantation in the US. However, the immunologic impact of repeated exposure to donor antigens on subsequent pancreas transplantation is unclear. Here we describe a case series of seven patients undergoing solid organ pancreas transplant following islet graft failure, with long-term follow-up of pancreatic graft survival and renal function. Despite highly variable panel-reactive antibody (PRA) levels prior to pancreas transplant (mean 27±35%), all seven patients achieved stable and durable insulin independence with a mean follow-up of 6.7 years. Mean hemoglobin A1c (HgbA1c) values improved significantly from post-islet, pre-pancreas levels (mean 8.1±1.5%) to post-pancreas levels (mean 5.3±0.1%; p=0.0022). Three patients experienced acute rejection episodes successfully managed with thymoglobulin and methylprednisolone, and none of these pre-uremic type 1 diabetic recipients developed Stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease postoperatively. These results support pancreas-after-islet (PAI) transplantation with aggressive immunosuppression and protocol biopsies as a viable strategy to restore insulin independence after islet graft failure.

    الوصف: OBJECTIVE During the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), intensive diabetes therapy achieving a mean HbA1c of ∼7% was associated with a threefold increase in the rate of severe hypoglycemia (defined as requiring assistance) compared with conventional diabetes therapy with a mean HbA1c of 9% (61.2 vs. 18.7 per 100 patient-years). After ∼30 years of follow-up, we investigated the rates of severe hypoglycemia in the DCCT/Epidemiology of Diabetes Inverventions and Complications (EDIC) cohort. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Rates of severe hypoglycemia were reported quarterly during DCCT and annually during EDIC (i.e., patient recall of episodes in the preceding 3 months). Risk factors influencing the rate of severe hypoglycemia over time were investigated. RESULTS One-half of the DCCT/EDIC cohort reported episodes of severe hypoglycemia. During EDIC, rates of severe hypoglycemia fell in the former DCCT intensive treatment group but rose in the former conventional treatment group, resulting in similar rates (40.8 vs. 36.6 episodes per 100 patient-years, respectively) with a relative risk of 1.12 (95% CI 0.91–1.37). A preceding episode of severe hypoglycemia was the most powerful predictor of subsequent episodes. Entry into the DCCT study as an adolescent was associated with an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia, whereas insulin pump use was associated with a lower risk. Severe hypoglycemia rates increased with lower HbA1c similarly among participants in both treatment groups. CONCLUSIONS Rates of severe hypoglycemia have equilibrated over time between the two DCCT/EDIC treatment groups in association with advancing duration of diabetes and similar HbA1c levels. Severe hypoglycemia persists and remains a challenge for patients with type 1 diabetes across their life span.

    الوصف: OBJECTIVE The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) demonstrated the beneficial effects of intensive versus conventional therapy on the development and progression of microvascular complications of type 1 diabetes. These beneficial effects were almost completely explained by the difference between groups in the levels of HbA1c, which in turn were associated with the risk of these complications. We assessed the association of glucose variability within and between quarterly 7-point glucose profiles with the development and progression of retinopathy, nephropathy, and cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy during the DCCT. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Measures of variability included the within-day and updated mean (over time) of the SD, mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE), and M-value, and the longitudinal within-day, between-day, and total variances. Imputation methods filled in the 16.3% of expected glucose values that were missing. RESULTS Cox proportional hazards models assessed the association of each measure of glycemic variation, as a time-dependent covariate, with the risk of retinopathy and nephropathy, and a longitudinal logistic regression model did likewise for cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. Adjusted for mean blood glucose, no measure of within-day variability was associated with any outcome. Only the longitudinal mean M-value (over time) was significantly associated with microalbuminuria when adjusted for the longitudinal mean blood glucose and corrected for multiple tests using the Holm procedure. CONCLUSIONS Overall, within-day glycemic variability, as determined from quarterly glucose profiles, does not play an apparent role in the development of microvascular complications beyond the influence of the mean glucose.

    الوصف: OBJECTIVE We examined the association between the prevalence and incidence of electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 1 diabetes, among whom these ECG abnormalities are common. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We conducted a longitudinal cohort study involving 1,306 patients with type 1 diabetes (mean age 35.5 ± 6.9 years; 47.7% female) from the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) Study. ECG abnormalities were defined by the Minnesota Code ECG classification as major, minor, or no abnormality. CVD events were defined as the first occurrence of myocardial infarction, stroke, confirmed angina, coronary artery revascularization, congestive heart failure, or death from any CVD. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 19 years, 155 participants (11.9%) developed CVD events. In multivariable Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for demographics and potential confounders, the presence of any major ECG abnormalities as a time-varying covariate was associated with a more than twofold increased risk of CVD events (hazard ratio [HR] 2.10 [95% CI 1.26, 3.48] vs. no abnormality/normal ECG, and 2.19 [1.46, 3.29] vs. no major abnormality). Also, each visit (year) at which the diagnosis of major ECG abnormality was retained was associated with a 30% increased risk of CVD (HR 1.30 [95% CI 1.14, 1.48]). The presence of minor ECG abnormalities was not associated with a significant increase in CVD risk. CONCLUSIONS The presence of major ECG abnormalities is associated with an increased risk of CVD in patients with type 1 diabetes. This suggests a potential role for ECG screening in patients with type 1 diabetes to identify individuals at risk for CVD.

    الوصف: Background/aims To determine the incidence of any diabetic retinopathy (any-DR), sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) and diabetic macular oedema (DMO) and their risk factors in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) over a screening programme. Methods Nine-year follow-up, prospective population-based study of 366 patients with T1DM and 15 030 with T2DM. Epidemiological risk factors were as follows: current age, age at DM diagnosis, sex, type of DM, duration of DM, arterial hypertension, levels of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c), triglycerides, cholesterol fractions, serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR). Results Sum incidence of any-DR was 47.26% with annual incidence 15.16±2.19% in T1DM, and 26.49% with annual incidence 8.13% in T2DM. Sum incidence of STDR was 18.03% with annual incidence 5.77±1.21% in T1DM, and 7.59% with annual incidence 2.64±0.15% in T2DM. Sum incidence of DMO was 8.46% with annual incidence 2.68±038% in patients with T1DM and 6.36% with annual incidence 2.19±0.18% in T2DM. Cox's survival analysis showed that current age and age at diagnosis were risk factors at p

    الوصف: PURPOSE: To examine associations between retinal vascular geometry (tortuosity, branching coefficient [BC] and length-diameter ratio [LDR]) and diabetic proliferative retinopathy (PDR), nephropathy, and peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).METHODS: A cohort of patients with T1DM participated in a clinical examination in 2011. Blood and urine analyses were done and retinal images taken. PDR was defined as Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study level 61 or above, nephropathy as albumin-creatinin ratio ≥300 mg/g, and neuropathy as vibration perception threshold >25 Volt. Retinal vessel parameters were measured using semi-automated software. Multiple logistic regressions were performed to investigate correlations between retinal vascular parameters and outcomes. Models were adjusted for other variables (sex, age, duration of diabetes, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, and presence of microvascular complications). Odds ratios were given per standard deviation in retinal vascular parameter.RESULTS: Retinal vascular analyses were performed in 181 patients. Mean age and duration of diabetes were 37.0 years and 29.4 years respectively, and 50.8% were male. Prevalence of PDR, nephropathy, and neuropathy were 26.5%, 6.8%, and 10.1% , respectively. Patients with increased arteriolar BC had a higher risk of nephropathy (OR: 3.10, 95% CI: [1.01-9.54]). Patients with increased venular BC had a higher risk of neuropathy (OR: 2.11, 95% CI: [1.11-4.03]). No associations were found in patients with PDR.CONCLUSIONS: By analyzing the retinal vascular tree in patients with T1DM, we found a higher risk of complications in kidneys and nerves when BC was increased. This might indicate a suboptimal construction of the vascular tree in these patients.

    الوصف: It is unclear whether genotype-negative clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 patients derive equal benefit from prospective surveillance as genotype-positive patients.In this retrospective cohort study, we compared genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with genotype-positive index cases. Primary outcome was age-related penetrance of manifestations; secondary outcomes were disease-specific survival and clinical course of endocrine tumors.We included 39 genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (Male: 33%) and 63 genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases (Male: 59%). Genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 were 65 years old at last follow-up; genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases were 50 (P.001). Genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 were significantly older at their first and second primary manifestation. Only 1 developed a third primary manifestation. No genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 with primary hyperparathyroidism and a pituitary adenoma developed a duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumor. Disease-specific survival was significantly better in genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1. In genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, primary hyperparathyroidism was single-gland disease in 47% of parathyroidectomies versus 0% in genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases. In genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, 17% of duodenopancreatic neuroendocrine tumors were multifocal versus 68% in genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases. Genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 had more pituitary macroadenomas, fewer prolactinomas, and more somatotroph adenomas.Genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 have a different clinical course than genotype-positive multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 index cases. This may support a separate classification and a tailored surveillance regimen. Of the genotype-negative patients with clinical multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 who had parathyroidectomy, almost half had no evidence of multigland disease and may be potential candidates for a more targeted single-gland approach.
