Therapeutic traditions in type 2 diabetes — are they changing?

The utilisation of antidiabetic drugs reflects both the prevalence of diabetes and the different therapeutic traditions of physicians. A questionnaire survey to study attitudes to the use of oral antidiabetic drugs amongst physicians and possible changes in treatment habits was carried out in a representative sample of Finnish physicians (n=454) in 1992 and the results were compared with those of a similar survey carried out in 1985, and with drug utilisation statistics.The mean fasting blood glucose level at which a physician would start pharmacological treatment was 8.7 mmol·l^–1, which was significantly lower than in the 1985 survey. The responses to various case histories suggested a more active approach to pharmacological treatment compared to the 1985 survey. Insulin treatment especially seems to have gained in popularity. This change in attitude was paralled by an increase in the consumption of antidiabetic drugs in Finland during the observation period. The increase in use of oral drugs was steeper in Finland than in Norway and Sweden.Whether this active approach will improve the metabolic control and prognosis of patients with Type 2 diabetes, remains to be demonstrated.     

糖尿病患者微血管病变与血小板功能

测定21例有微血管病变和27倒无并发症的糖尿病人血小板功能，并与40例正常人作比较。结果发现糖尿病人，尤其是微血管病变者血浆血栓烷素（TXB2）、第八因子相关抗原（VWF）浓度及血小板膜糖蛋白（G、P）Ib显著高于对照组。提示血小板功能异常可能对糖尿病患者做血管并发症的发生起重要作用。     

Does the Prepubertal Duration of Diabetes Influence the Onset of Microvascular Complications?

This study investigated the relationship between the development of diabetic retinopathy and pubertal status at onset of diabetes in 521 Type 1 diabetic patients diagnosed between 1950 and 1985. Pubertal status was based on age at onset (girls ≧ 11 years and boys ≧ 12 years). Retinopathy (all forms) developed in 112 patients (21.5%; 65 background and 47 proliferative retinopathy). For subjects diagnosed in either the prepubertal or postpuberal period, a similar proportion survived without developing retinopathy for any given duration of diabetes (X² = 0.3822, p = 0.54). However, if only the postpubertal duration of diabetes is considered, then the proportion of patients surviving without retinopathy was significantly less for those diagnosed in the prepubertal period (X² = 14.2, p = 0.002). This study suggests that the prepubertal duration of diabetes is an important phase and that the years prior to puberty do contribute to the risk of developing microvascular injury.     

脉冲式多普勒超声心动图对糖尿病左室舒张功能的评价

用脉冲式多普勒超声心电图对51例糖尿病患者的左室舒张功能参数进行了测定.与正常对照组结果相比,糖尿病患者的左室舒张早晚期最大流速之比、快速充盈分数、快速充盈减速度及左室舒张早期最大流速显著降低,而左室舒张晚期最大流速显著增高.在糖尿病患者中,有视网膜病变组与无视网膜病变组相比,左室舒张早晚期最大流速之比、快速充盈分数及快速充盈加速度显著降低,而左室舒张晚期最大流速显著增高.提示糖尿病患者左室舒张功能受损.     

Structured treatment and teaching of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus and impaired cognitive function--the DICOF trial.

BACKGROUND: Patient education is integral part of any diabetes therapy in Germany, but elderly patients are not able to follow the variety of topics comprising standard treatment and teaching programmes (TTP), primarily due to impaired neuropsychological function. This leads to deficits in diabetes knowledge and hindered ability for diabetes self-management. AIM: To evaluate structured TTP for geriatric patients with impaired cognitive function. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A neuropsychological examination was performed on all patients over 54 years [n=102, age 68.6 +/- 8.7 years, diabetes duration 10.3 (0.03-35.4) years, HbA1c 10.3 +/- 1.7% (HPLC, Diamat, NR 4.5-6.3%), cognitive function 87.7 +/- 12.3 IQ points] who took part in TTP for insulin therapy. Patients with impaired cognitive function participated either in the standard TTP of Berger [n = 35, age 67.6 +/- 8.9 years, diabetes duration 9.9 (0.04-35.4) years, HbA1c 10.3 +/- 2.0%] or in the specialized structured geriatric DICOF-TTP [n=33, age 70.4 +/- 8.2 years, diabetes duration 10.4 (0.03-24.9) years, HbA1c 10.7 +/- 1.8%]. RESULTS: After TTP there were no differences in knowledge and ability for diabetes self-management (standard/DICOF: knowledge 11.0 +/- 2.6 vs. 12.2 +/- 2.7 points, P = 0.11; handling 14.9 +/- 3.3 vs. 15.9 +/- 2.5 points, P = 0.18). However, patients who took part in the DICOF programme showed better scores in satisfaction with the education programme [standard/DICOF 44.7 (31-57) vs. 52.5 (45-59) points, P < 0.001]. Six months later the DICOF participants showed better results regarding diabetes self-management (standard/DICOF: handling 12.5 +/- 4.1 vs. 15.9 +/- 3.1 points, P = 0.001). Both groups showed HbA1c decrease (8.3 +/- 1.4 vs. 8.5 +/- 1.3%, P=0.62) and similar incidence of acute complications. CONCLUSIONS: Elderly patients with impaired cognitive function should take part in specialized structured TTP. This leads to both better satisfaction with the education programme and an improved ability for diabetes self-management.

实验性糖尿病早期大鼠背根神经节一氧化氮合酶基因表达的变化

目的：观察糖尿病早期(2周)大鼠背根神经节(DRG)中一氧化氮合酶(nNOS、iNOS、eNOS)的表达变化以及胰岛素对其的影响。方法：按60mg／kg一次性腹腔注射链脲佐菌素(STZ)制备胰岛素依赖性糖尿病大鼠模型(16只)，造模成功后随机分成2组(模型组和治疗组)，治疗组于造模成功后第2天开始给予胰岛素治疗，正常对照组(8只)与模型组予皮下注射同样体积的生理盐水。2周后取各组大鼠背根神经节，Trizol法提取总RNA，应用RT—PCR法测定3种NOS mRNA的表达。结果：在糖尿病早期大鼠DRG中，iNOS表达明显上调，胰岛素能有效逆转此变化。而nNOS和eNOS的表达无明显变化。结论：在早期糖尿病DRG中iNOS基因表达异常，可能与糖尿病外周神经病变的发生发展有关。
