RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Time in range (TIR), a novel proxy measure of glucose control, is found closely related to diabetic microangiopathy and some other chronic complications, but the correlation between TIR and lower limb angiopathy has not been studied yet. Our purpose is to explore the relationship between TIR and abnormal ankle-brachial index(ABI) in type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We retrospectively collected patients' information from the database and performed cross-sectional analysis. A total of 405 type 2 diabetes patients were enrolled in this study. ABI was measured and patients were stratified into low, normal, and high groups according to ≤ 0.9, > 0.9 and < 1.3, ≥ 1.3 ABI values. All patients underwent continuous glucose monitoring(CGM), and TIR was defined as the percentage of time in which glucose was in the range of 3.9-10 mmol/L during a 24-h period. Correlations between TIR and abnormal ABI were analyzed using Spearman analysis. And logistic regression was used to explore whether TIR is an independent risk factor for abnormal ABI. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of abnormal ABI was 20.2% (low 4.9% and high 15.3%). TIR was lower in patients with abnormal ABI values (P = 0.009). The prevalence of abnormal ABI decreased with increasing quartiles of TIR (P = 0.026). Abnormal ABI was negatively correlated with TIR and positively correlated with hypertension, age, diabetes duration, UREA, Scr, ACR, TAR, MBG, and M values (P < 0.05). The logistic regression revealed a significant association between TIR and abnormal ABI, while HbA1C and blood glucose variability measures had no explicit correlation with abnormal ABI. Additionally, there was a significant difference in LDL between the low and high ABI groups (P = 0.009), and in Scr between normal and low groups (P = 0.007). And there were significant differences in TIR (P = 0.003), age (P = 0.023), UREA (P = 0.006), ACR (P = 0.004), TAR (P = 0.015), and MBG (P = 0.014) between normal and high ABI groups, and in diabetes duration between both normal and low (P = 0.023) and normal and high (P = 0.006) groups. CONCLUSIONS: In type 2 diabetes patients, abnormal ABI is associated with lower TIR, and the correlation is stronger than that with HbA1C. Therefore, the role of TIR should be emphasized in the evaluation of lower limb vascular diseases.

BACKGROUND: Diaphanous related formin 1 (DIAPH1) is a novel component of advanced glycation end product (AGE) signal transduction that was recently found to participate in diabetes-related disorders, obesity, and androgen hormones. We investigated whether plasma DIAPH1 levels were a potential prognostic predictor for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: The levels of circulating plasma DIAPH1 and indicators of glucose, insulin, lipid metabolism, liver enzymes, kidney function, sex hormones, and inflammation were measured in 75 patients with PCOS and 77 healthy participants. All of the participants were divided into normal-weight (NW) and overweight/obese (OW) subgroups. Statistical analyses were performed with R studio. RESULTS: PCOS patients manifested hyperandrogenism, increased luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone (LH/FSH), and accumulated body fat and insulin resistance. Plasma DIAPH1 levels were significantly decreased in women with PCOS compared to control participants, and DIAPH1 levels were distinctly reduced in OW PCOS compared to OW control subjects (P < 0.001). DIAPH1 levels correlated with fasting blood glucose (FBG), total cholesterol (TC), the homeostasis model assessment of ß-cell function (HOMA-ß), and LH/FSH in all participants (FBG: r = 0.351, P < 0.0001; TC: r = 0.178, P = 0.029; HOMA-ß: r = -0.211, P = 0.009; LH/FSH: r = -0.172, P = 0.040). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that plasma DIAPH1 levels were an independent risk factor for PCOS. A model containing DIAPH1, BMI, FBG, and testosterone was constructed to predict the risk of PCOS, with a sensitivity of 92.0% and a specificity of 80.9%. A nomogram was constructed to facilitate clinical diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest the association of plasma DIAPH1 with glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, and sex hormones and support DIAPH1 as a potential predictive factor for PCOS.

Aims: The aim of this retrospective single-center is to research the relationship between time in range(TIR), an important novel metric of glycemic control, assessed with continuous glucose monitoring(CGM) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity(BaPWV), a unique index of systemic arterial stiffness in type 2 diabetes. Methods: Study participants included 469 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes and no history of serious cardiovascular disease who underwent CGM and BaPWV measurements. TIR of 3.9-10.0 mmol/L was evaluated with CGM. BaPWV was measured by non-invasive arteriosclerosis detector and high baPWV was defined as a mean baPWVâ§1800m/s. The spearman correlation and the partial correlation analysis were applied to analyze the correlation between TIR and baPWV. The binary logistic regression was used to examine the independent association of TIR and high BaPWV. Results: The presence of high baPWV was 32.2%. Compared with patients of low baPWV, those with high baPWV had significantly reduced TIR(P<0.001). With the increase of TIR tertiles, the prevalence of high BaPWV progressively decreased. Correlation analysis showed that TIR is inversely correlated with BaPWV. In a fully adjusted model controlling for traditional risk factor of CVD, TIR is associated with the presence of high BaPWV independent of HbA1c. Conclusion: TIR is correlated with BaPWV independent of HbA1c in patients with type 2 diabetes, confirming a link between TIR and arterial stiffness.
