RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: Type 1 diabetes is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. The underlying mechanism behind the accelerated atherosclerosis formation is not fully understood but may be related to the formation of oxidation products and advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). We aimed to examine the associations between the collagen oxidation product methionine sulfoxide; the collagen AGEs methylglyoxal hydroimidazolone (MG-H1), glucosepane, pentosidine, glucuronidine/LW-1; and serum receptors for AGE (RAGE) with measures of coronary artery disease in patients with long-term type 1 diabetes. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 99 participants with type 1 diabetes of ≥ 45-year duration and 63 controls without diabetes had either established coronary heart disease (CHD) or underwent Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) measuring total, calcified and soft/mixed plaque volume. Skin collagen methionine sulfoxide and AGEs were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and serum sRAGE/esRAGE by ELISA. RESULTS: In the diabetes group, low levels of methionine sulfoxide (adjusted for age, sex and mean HbA1c) were associated with normal coronary arteries, OR 0.48 (95% CI 0.27-0.88). Glucuronidine/LW-1 was associated with established CHD, OR 2.0 (1.16-3.49). MG-H1 and glucuronidine/LW-1 correlated with calcified plaque volume (r = 0.23-0.28, p<0.05), while pentosidine correlated with soft/mixed plaque volume (r = 0.29, p = 0.008), also in the adjusted analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Low levels of collagen-bound methionine sulfoxide were associated with normal coronary arteries while glucuronidine/LW-1 was positively associated with established CHD in long-term type 1 diabetes, suggesting a role for metabolic and oxidative stress in the formation of atherosclerosis in diabetes.

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we evaluate the intra- and interrater agreement of radiological glenohumeral OA using three different classification systems and estimate the prevalence of radiological and clinical glenohumeral OA in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1), for over 45 years and controls (The Dialong study). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We included 102 patients with DM1 (49% women, mean age, 61.9 years) and 73 controls (57% women, mean age, 62.6 years). Anterior-posterior shoulder radiographs were interpreted by two observers applying the Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L), Samilson-Prieto (S-P) and Samilson-Prieto Allain (S-PA) classifications. RESULTS: The interrater agreement was moderate (weighted kappa, 0.46 to 0.48) for all classifications and the intrarater agreement mainly substantial (0.48-0.86) for both observers. The agreed prevalence of radiological OA was 26 and 18% (OR 1.6 (0.8 to 3.3), p = 0.22, 44 and 26% (OR 2.2 (1.2 to 4.2), p = 0.02) and 30 and 17% (OR 2.1 (1.0 to 4.5), p = 0.05) for the K-L, S-P and S-PA classifications respectively in the diabetes and control groups. The prevalence of moderate or severe radiological OA was 1 to 6% and clinical OA 1 to 2% with no difference between the groups. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of radiological glenohumeral OA was higher in the diabetes group with the Samilson-Prieto classification systems, but not associated with clinical OA. The interrater agreement was moderate. We recommend the Samilson-Prieto Allain classification for glenohumeral OA to avoid interpretation of osteophytes < 1 mm as OA in patient groups with a low pre-test likelihood of glenohumeral OA.
