RESUMO

AIMS: To explore the effects of intermittent use of empagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, on dietary self-management and glycaemic control in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, parallel-group, comparative clinical trial of 50 patients with type 2 diabetes, treated with no more than three oral antidiabetic drugs (glycated haemoglobin [HbA1c] ≥52 mmol/mol but <86 mmol/mol). The participants were randomized to take 10 mg/d empagliflozin either every day (regular group, n = 25) or on the day on which they considered they had overeaten (intermittent group, n = 25) for 24 weeks. We limited empagliflozin prescription to half of the required period in the intermittent group. The primary endpoint was change in HbA1c at the end of the 24-week treatment period relative to baseline. The secondary outcomes included changes in body weight, daily energy intake and diabetes treatment-related quality of life (QoL). Energy intake was assessed using a diet-specific validated questionnaire rather than actual assessments of food intake. RESULTS: The intake rate of empagliflozin was 96.7 ± 7.2% for the regular group and 45.7 ± 7.0% for the intermittent group. Interestingly, ΔHbA1c was identical in the two groups (-0.64 ± 0.19% and - 0.65 ± 0.17%, respectively). Body weight decreased (-2.72 ± 0.52 and - 1.50 ± 0.45 kg, respectively) and diabetes treatment-related QoL increased significantly from baseline in both groups. Energy intake, however, decreased significantly only in the intermittent group (-221.0 ± 108.3 kcal/d). CONCLUSIONS: Intermittent empagliflozin supplementation is a useful therapeutic option that empowers dietary self-management, improves glycaemic control and is accompanied by body weight loss and an increase in diabetes treatment-related QoL in patients with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recent studies reported that sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors can potentially reduce the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there is little or no information on the therapeutic effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on the progression of atherosclerosis. This dapagliflozin effectiveness on vascular endothelial function and glycemic control (DEFENCE) study was designed to determine the effects of dapagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, on endothelial function in patients with early-stage T2DM. METHODS: DEFENCE is a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, parallel-group, comparative clinical trial. Between October 2015 and August 2016, 80 T2DM patients treated with 750 mg of metformin (hemoglobin A1c ≥6.0 and <8.0%, n = 80) were enrolled and randomized to receive either 1500 mg/day metformin (the metformin group, n = 40), or 750 mg/day metformin supplemented with 5 mg/day dapagliflozin (the dapagliflozin group, n = 40), for 16 weeks. The primary endpoint was a change in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) from baseline to the end of the 16-week treatment period. The secondary outcomes include changes in indexes of glycemic control, lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress, body composition, and safety evaluation. RESULTS: Although FMD tended to improve only in the dapagliflozin group, ΔFMD was comparable between the two groups. Analysis of patients with HbA1c >7.0% showed significant improvement of FMD in the dapagliflozin group than metformin group (P < 0.05). HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, plasma glucagon, and body weight significantly decreased in both groups. Interestingly, urine 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosin, a biomarker of oxidative stress, was significantly lower in the dapagliflozin group than metformin group at 16 weeks (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Dapagliflozin add-on therapy to metformin for 16 weeks improved endothelial function, as assessed by FMD, in patients with inadequately controlled early-stage T2DM. Improvement in oxidative stress may contribute to the improvement in FMD. Trial registration University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trial Registry (UMIN000018754).

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To assess the characteristics of biochemical recurrence in the late period (>5 years after radical prostatectomy) and the differences in the predictors of biochemical recurrence in different periods, we conducted a multicenter retrospective study. METHODS: We reviewed 478 men who underwent radical prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer. All of the patients were followed up for at least 5 years. The cohort was then divided into three groups; no recurrence group, recurrence <5 years after surgery group and recurrence ≥5 years after surgery group. The background characteristics of each group were compared using the χ2 test. A Cox multivariate regression analysis was performed to determine the predictors of biochemical recurrence in each period. RESULTS: Biochemical recurrence occurred in 135 men. In 113 (84%) of the patients, biochemical recurrence occurred at <5 years after surgery; in 22 (16%), it occurred at ≥5 years after surgery. The proportion of men with a low preoperative prostate-specific antigen level was significantly larger in the latter group (P = 0.0023). A preoperative prostate-specific antigen level and a positive surgical margin were significant predictors of biochemical recurrence at <5 years after surgery (hazard ratio: 1.03 and 3.20). A positive surgical margin was also a significant predictor of biochemical recurrence at ≥5 years after surgery (hazard ratio: 3.03); however, a high preoperative prostate-specific antigen level was not. CONCLUSIONS: Biochemical recurrence occurred at ≥5 years after surgery in 16% of the patients. A positive surgical margin predicted biochemical recurrence in both the early and late periods.

RESUMO

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is common in obese women with insulin resistant type 2 diabetes for which metformin treatment is getting established in addition to clomiphene. However, lean PCOS patients are sometimes accompanied with type 1 diabetes. It remains unclear whether these patients are insulin resistant and whether metformin is effective for them. A 32-year-old woman, who suffered from acne, hirsutism, and menstrual disorders since age 29, was diagnosed as PCOS by serum high LH levels and polycystic ovary on echography. Interestingly, her body mass index (BMI) had consistently been 21.0 kg/m2 since age 20. She was first treated with clomiphene for one year for infertility but it did not improve her menstrual cycle nor did she get pregnant during that period. She was then assessed with diabetes mellitus and subsequently diagnosed as type 1 diabetes with mild hyperglycemia (HbA1c 6.0%). Since her insulin secretion was still well preserved, to assess insulin sensitivity, hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp test was performed and showed her to be insulin resistant. Low dose insulin and low dose metformin treatment was started without clomiphene. After her ovulation and menstrual cycle were ameliorated only one month later, her treatment was supplemented with clomiphene for the next three months enabling her to at last become pregnant. This report highlights the efficacy of metformin in lean PCOS with type 1 diabetes. Insulin therapy is essential for type 1 diabetes but hyperinsulinemia potentially exacerbates PCOS through hyperandrogenism. Metformin is therefore recommended for treatment of lean PCOS with type 1 diabetes as well as common obese PCOS with type 2 diabetes.

RESUMO

Although sitagliptin and repaglinide monotherapies improve postprandial hyperglycemia, the long-term effects and safety of their combination has not been examined. In this randomized 24-week trial of Japanese patients with poor control (HbA1c 7.0-8.5%) by sitagliptin, we divided 40 patients randomly into two equal groups of the repaglinide add-on to sitagliptin (ADD-ON, n=20), or sitagliptin switched to repaglinide (SWITCH, n=20). The meal tolerance test was carried out at weeks 0 and 24. The primary outcomes were changes in HbA1c and area under the curves (AUC) of glucose from the baseline to week 24. The mean change in HbA1c from baseline to week 24 was larger in the ADD-ON (-0.87±0.63%, mean±SD), compared with the SWITCH (0.03±0.65%, p=0.000). Significant improvements were noted in the mean changes in fasting glucose and AUCs of glucose in the ADD-ON vs. SWITCH (p=0.007 and p=0.000). Insulin secretion relative to glucose elevation (ISG; defined as AUC insulin/AUC glucose) increased significantly in the ADD-ON, although the mean change in fasting insulin level was significantly decreased in the ADD-ON (p=0.015 and p=0.026). The AUC of glucagon was significantly lower at 24-week relative to baseline in the ADD-ON, but was not significant in the two groups (p=0.047 and p=0.056, respectively). The combination therapy produced significant reductions in HbA1c, AUC of glucose and fasting glucose compared with switching to repaglinide without weight gain or severe hypoglycemia. The improved glycemic control with this combination therapy may be at least in part due to augmentation of repaglinide-induced insulin secretion by sitagliptin.

RESUMO

We compared the in situ dry matter degradability (ISDMD) and crude protein degradability (ISCPD) of high-moisture corn grain silage and dried corn grains produced in Japan (JHC and JDC, respectively) with corn grains imported from the United States (USC), Brazil (BRC), and South Africa (SAC). The ISDMD values of USC, BAC, and SAC were between those of JHC and JDC, but ISDMD did not differ significantly between USC and SAC. In contrast, ISDMD was lower for BAC than USC and SAC. Overall, our results indicate that ISDMD and ISCPD in the rumen differ between corn grains sources (domestic compared with imported and between production locations), primarily due to differences between the corn varieties represented. In particular, the ISDMD and ISCPD of JHC were greater than those of JDC, and this difference in degradability needs to be considered when using high-moisture corn grain silage as a substitute for dried corn grain as a feed for dairy cattle.

RESUMO

Purpose: The severe pathogenic ancient-type COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2/WA-1/2020 was the predominant gene variant in early 2020 in Japan, however, its transmissibility was uncertain. The period before the public commenced using any personal protective equipment (PPE) was evaluating to describe the transmissibility of the SARS-CoV-2/WA-1/2020. We analyzed the secondary attack rate (SAR) among close contacts and the risk factor for SAR. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included a total of 539 patients who were anticipated for the SARS-CoV-2/WA-1/2020 infection at Toho University Medical Center Omori Hospital from February to May 2020. We selected 54 patients with 1) exclude other pathogens infection, 2) include "Three Cs" condition: crowded places between distance< 6 feet, closed spaces indoor and close contact settings involving contact >15min with a person tested positive for SARS-CoV-2/WA-1/2020 without PPE. We evaluated alternative infection risks: the body mass index (BMI) and diabetes (DM) status (non-DM, pre-DM, and DM) as demographic determinants of transmissibility and infectivity of SARS-CoV2/WA-1/2020 cases during the incubation period. Results: The calculated SAR was 79.3%. BMI was significantly associated with the PCR positivity rate, which was significant in the univariate (CI 95%, 1.02-1.51; P = 0.03) and multivariate (CI 95%, 1.02-1.60; P = 0.03) analyses. Comparing the different BMI groups, the highest BMI group (25.5-35.8 kg/m2) had an elevated risk of SAR compared to the lowest BMI group (14.0-22.8 kg/m2), with an odds ratio of 1.41 (95% CI, 1.02-1.59; P = 0.03). There were no significant differences in the risk of SAR among different DM statuses. Conclusion: The transmissibility of SARS-CoV2/WA-1/2020 was high (79.3%) among household members without PPE who had "Three Cs" exposure. Although pre-DM and established DM did not confer a risk for transmissibility, higher BMI was associated with an increased risk of SAR.

RESUMO

γ-Secretase inhibitors (GSIs) reduce amyloid-ß (Aß) peptides but inevitably increase the ß-C-terminal fragment (ß-CTF) of amyloid precursor protein (APP), potentially having undesirable effects on synapses. In contrast, γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) reduce Aß42 without increasing ß-CTF. Although the Aß-lowering effects of these compounds have been extensively studied, little effort has been made to investigate their effects on cognition. Here, we compared the effects of two GSIs--(2S)-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-N-[(2S)-1-{[(1S)-3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-3-benzazepin-1-yl]amino}-1-oxopropan-2-yl]butanamide (LY450139, semagacestat) and (2R)-2-[[(4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl][[2-fluoro-4-(1,2,4-oxazol-3-yl)phenyl]methyl]amino-5,5,5-trifluoropentanamide (BMS-708163)--and a second-generation GSM [{(2S,4R)-1-[(4R)-1,1,1-trifluoro-7-methyloctan-4-yl]-2-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]piperidin-4-yl}acetic acid (GSM-2)] on spatial working memory in APP-transgenic (Tg2576) and nontransgenic mice using the Y-maze task. While acute dosing with either GSI ameliorated memory deficits in 5.5-month-old Tg2576 mice, these effects disappeared after 8 d subchronic dosing. Subchronic dosing with either GSI rather impaired normal cognition in 3-month-old Tg2576 mice, with no inhibition on the processing of other γ-secretase substrates, such as Notch, N-cadherin, or EphA4, in the brain. LY450139 also impaired normal cognition in wild-type mice; however, the potency was 10-fold lower than that in Tg2576 mice, indicating an APP-dependent mechanism likely with ß-CTF accumulation. Immunofluorescence studies revealed that the ß-CTF accumulation was localized in the presynaptic terminals of the hippocampal stratum lucidum and dentate hilus, implying an effect on presynaptic function in the mossy fibers. In contrast, both acute and subchronic dosing with GSM-2 significantly ameliorated memory deficits in Tg2576 mice and did not affect normal cognition in wild-type mice. We demonstrated a clear difference between GSI and GSM in effects on functional consequences, providing new insights into strategies for developing these drugs against Alzheimer's disease.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Based on the whole-body energy metabolism and insulin action, the difference between increased excretion of carbohydrate in urine by SGLT2i and reduced same amount of oral carbohydrate intake are scarce. This study aimed to compare the effect of carbohydrate availability with reduced oral intake (carbohydrate-restricted isocaloric diet: CRIC diet) or lost in urine, as urinary glucosuria on sodium/glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) treatment, focus on the insulin requirement and the macronutrient oxidation within insulin treated type 2 diabetes. METHODS: This is randomized 3-arm open-label prospective study. Subjects treated with titrated basal-bolus insulin regimen subsequent to three diet regimens, control diet (CON), administration of canagliflozin 100 mg/day to CON (SGLT2i), or CRIC diet, with a week admission to the endocrinology ward followed by 12 weeks outpatients' management. The main outcome measures including the total insulin dose (TID) required to achieve euglycemia, fasting and postprandial energy expenditure (EE) and respiratory quotient (RQ) at 1-week and 12-week. RESULTS: We enrolled 23 patients with type 2 diabetes (male/female: 14/9, age: 53.6 ± 14.2 years, body mass index: 26.9 ± 4.8 kg/m2, HbA1c: 12.5 ± 1.6%). The TID was similar with CON and SGLT2i at both 1 and 12-weeks. Although comparable net carbohydrate availability in SGLT2i and CRIC groups, the TID was significantly higher in the CRIC (p = 0.02) compare to the SGLT2i at both 1 and 12-weeks. Fasting EE was similar in all groups, postprandial EE was significantly elevated in the SGLT2i and CRIC groups compared to the CON group (p = 0.03 and 0.04). Compare to the CON, lower basal fasting RQ (p = 0.049) and decreased delta-RQ (postprandial RQ/fasting RQ) indicated continuous lipid substrate utilization in the SGLT2i (p = 0.04) and CRIC (p = 0.03) groups. CONCLUSION: The CRIC diet resulted in a similar fasting and postprandial EE and substrate oxidation compared to the SGLT2i. The increased insulin requirement in the CRIC diet indicates that a relatively highly lipid and protein consumption, compared to the SGLT2i and CON, may influence insulin requirement.

RESUMO

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Subcutaneous dystrophic tissue (DT) produced by insulin injection causes dysglycemia owing to inadequate absorption of insulin. However, precise techniques for measuring DT have not been established. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an imaging technology that can quantify tissue stiffness. In this study, insulin injection-induced DT was quantified using SWE to generate whole-abdominal wall subcutaneous tissue by three-dimensional (3D) imaging in patients with type 2 diabetes who were treated with multiple insulin injections. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited who received long-standing multiple insulin injections. Using SWE, the shear wave velocity (SWV) of DT and control (normal subcutaneous tissue) was measured. Furthermore, two of seven patients underwent whole-abdominal SWE examination to calculate the proportion of DT. A subcutaneous insulin tolerance test was also performed in both the DT and control tissues. RESULTS: The SWV in DT was significantly higher than that in the control tissue (2.87 [2.66-2.98] vs 1.29 [1.23-1.44] m/s, P < 0.01). The proportion of the DT volume was 0.67% and 5.21% for two individuals from the entire abdominal subcutaneous tissue volume. The area under the curve for the subcutaneously injected insulin aspart concentration at the DT sites was lower than that of the control tissue (75.0 [52.1-111] vs 116 [86.9-152.5] h*mU/L, P = 0.1). CONCLUSIONS: SWE can be useful in quantifying abdominal subcutaneous insulin-induced DT, especially the 3D volume of insulin injection-induced DT from the entire abdominal subcutaneous tissue. This study is the first to examine the volume and distribution of abdominal subcutaneous DT using SWE.

RESUMO

AIMS: To improve glycemic variability (GV) is crucial in the management of multiple daily insulin (MDI) treatment in diabetes. To evaluate the GV improvement in MDI treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) with low-dose metformin 750 mg/day (LMET), which was popular in the clinical practice in Japan, we compared the effect of adding vildagliptin 100 mg/day (LMET + DPP4i treatment) or increased metformin dose to 1500 mg/day (HMET treatment), in the setting of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Single-center, open-label, 12 weeks-two period cross-over design. Twenty T2D with inadequately controlled (7.0% < HbA1c ≤ 9.0%) with MDI + LMET were enrolled. Primary endpoints were GV and hypoglycemia derived from CGM indices, performed after each 12 week treatment periods. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in both LMET + DPP4i treatment and HMET treatment, in terms of HbA1c, body weight changes, and total daily dose of insulin to achieve the targeted glycemia. LMET + DPP4i treatment compared to HMET treatment, significantly reduced the calculated GV value, mean (7.15 ± 1.30 vs 7.82 ± 1.60, p = 0.04), standard deviation (1.78 ± 0.55 vs 2.27 ± 1.11, p = 0.03), continuous overlapping net glycemic action (6.44 ± 1.28 vs 7.12 ± 1.69, p < 0.05), J-Index (26.7 ± 11.0 vs 34.9 ± 19.8, p < 0.05), high blood glucose index (3.01 ± 1.96 vs 6.73 ± 4.85, p = 0.02), and mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (4.53 ± 1.35 vs 5.50 ± 2.34, p = 0.03). CONCLUSION: The GV metrics regarding daily and nocturnal hypoglycemia were not significantly different between LMET + DPP4i treatment and HMET treatment. LMET + DPP4i treatment decreased GV associated with hyperglycemia. Adding DPP-4-inhibitor to the lower dose of metformin is an alternative approach to the stable GV in MDI compared to additional high-dose metformin. National Clinical Trial registration in Japan, number is JPRN-UMIN000024663. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13340-021-00513-6.

RESUMO

AIM: Diabetes and aging are both well-established risk factors for insomnia. Therefore, we investigated the changes in subjective sleep quality in relation to clinical backgrounds and age in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 380 participants with T2DM who were between 18 and 79 years of age from our outpatient clinics. Individuals with any symptoms and medical histories associated with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) were excluded from the interview and analyses. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires, namely the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Morning-Evening Questionnaire (MEQ), as well as medical records and blood samples. We performed stratified analyses according to age decades. RESULTS: The number of patients in the age groups (in years) was as follows: < 50 (n = 69), 50-60 (n = 52), 60-70 (n = 138), and 70-80 (n = 121). PSQI score was highest in the < 50 group (4.99 ± 2.40), and significantly decreased with age (p < 0.05). Body mass index (BMI) was also highest in the < 50 group (25.5 ± 4.8 kg/m2), and markedly decreased with age (p < 0.01). Interestingly, BMI was significantly correlated with the PSQI score (rs = 0.157, p < 0.05). We also found that younger patients had shorter sleep duration, stronger daytime sleepiness, and a tendency for the evening type. CONCLUSION: Younger T2DM patients had poorer sleep quality and higher BMI. Our findings suggest that insomnia should be accounted for as a potential comorbidity when examining or treating patients with T2DM and obesity even in the younger population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic significance of prostatic involvement by bladder urothelial carcinoma using the new 2009 TNM staging system. METHODS: From 1993 to 2008, 77 consecutive men who were clinically and/or pathologically diagnosed with bladder cancer underwent radical cystectomy. Patients were classified into several groups, according to the presence, extent and invading pathway of prostatic involvement by urothelial carcinoma, whether there was stromal or non-stromal involvement, and whether there was contiguous or non-contiguous involvement. Cause-specific survivals were calculated in each group and they were compared. RESULTS: Prostatic involvement was observed in 23 (30%) patients: 10 had non-contiguous non-stromal involvement, 5 had non-contiguous stromal involvement and 8 had contiguous stromal involvement. Patients with stromal involvement (both contiguous and non-contiguous) showed significantly shorter cause-specific survival compared with those without prostatic stromal involvement (P= 0.002). The survival of patients with contiguous prostatic stromal involvement was similar to that of patients with non-contiguous prostatic stromal involvement (P= 0.79). Multivariate analysis showed that prostatic stromal involvement (both contiguous and non-contiguous) (hazard ratio, 8.4; P< 0.001), lymph node involvement (hazard ratio, 4.4; P= 0.016) and perivesical fat involvement (hazard ratio, 3.8; P= 0.029) were predictive of cause-specific survival. CONCLUSIONS: The depth of prostatic involvement has a significant impact on survival for patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma; however, whether its origin is contiguous or non-contiguous does not appear to be important.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Although immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are promising in the treatment of advanced cancer, their use is associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) that affect endocrine organ systems. Although development of irAEs was associated with improved cancer-specific survival, the risk of irAEs is unclear. We investigated the association of pre-ICI comorbidities-including diabetes-with irAEs, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) in advanced lung cancer. METHODS: Patients with lung cancer who were treated with ICIs during the period from September 1, 2015 through July 31, 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. All data were collected from the NEPTUNE database of university patients. Hazard ratios were estimated by using Cox regression weighted for propensity scores. Odds ratios were calculated by logistic regression and adjusted for unbalanced variables. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare OS, and the generalized Wilcoxon test was used to compare median survival. RESULTS: Among the 88 patients identified, 22 (25.0%) had diabetes (DM) before ICI treatment and 57 (75.0%) did not (non-DM); irAEs developed in 12.2% of patients with DM and in 9.1% of patients in non-DM (p=0.87). Diabetes status was not associated with irAE risk in relation to baseline characteristics (age, sex, TNM staging, thyroid and renal function) or in propensity score-matched analysis (age, TNM staging). During a mean follow-up of 30 months, OS and cancer-specific PFS were significantly higher in patients who developed irAEs (Kaplan-Meier estimates, p=0·04 and 0·03, respectively). In propensity score-matched analysis, diabetes was significantly associated with lower OS (multivariate hazard ratio, 0·36; 95% CI, 0·13-0·98) unrelated to irAEs. Irrespective of irAEs, PFS was also lower among patients with DM than among non-DM patients (Kaplan-Meier estimate, p=0·04). CONCLUSION: Pre-existing diabetes was associated with higher mortality in advanced lung cancer, regardless of irAE development during treatment with ICI.

RESUMO

AIMS: This study aimed to assess the chronotherapeutic efficacy of suvorexant on subjective sleep parameters and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes and insomnia. METHODS: Thirteen patients with type 2 diabetes who met the Pittsburg Sleep Quality index criteria for primary insomnia took suvorexant 20 mg/day (15 mg/day for ≥65 years) for 14 ± 2 weeks. The following parameters were assessed before and after the treatment: sleep diary for sleep duration and quality (i.e., sleep onset latency, waking after sleep onset, and sleep efficiency [sSE]), Insomnia Severity Index, clinical and biochemical data, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and validated self-administered questionnaire on food intake. RESULTS: Suvorexant significantly improved sSE, abdominal circumference, and sucrose intake (all p < 0.05), but did not change HbA1c, CGM parameters, or body weight. Correlation analysis revealed that changes in sSE were associated with those in HbA1c and body weight (r = -0.61 and r = -0.66, respectively; both p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Suvorexant significantly improved sleep quality and obesity-associated parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes in 14 weeks. Improvements in sleep quality were associated with improvements in glycemic control. Sleep disorder treatment using suvorexant may provide metabolic benefits for patients with type 2 diabetes.

RESUMO

A patient with underlying Hashimoto's thyroiditis developed amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis type 1 that was successfully treated using methimazole in combination with potassium iodide. A 35-year-old woman admitted for perinatal care of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome was given amiodarone for 7 days for paroxysmal ventricular contraction following pulseless ventricular tachycardia 1 day after delivery. She developed thyrotoxicosis one month after the discontinuation of amiodarone therapy and was negative for thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor antibody. An increased peak velocity of the superior thyroid artery suggested amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis type 1. Her thyroid function recovered after combination therapy with methimazole and potassium iodide.

RESUMO

AIMS/INTRODUCTION: Hyperglycemia impairs energy substrate oxidation as a result of glucotoxicity. We examined whether the reduction of plasma glucose using a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, in inpatient diabetes management, has any effect on: (i) treatment period and basal-bolus dosage of insulin that achieve euglycemia; (ii) fasting/postprandial energy expenditure (EE); and (iii) energy substrate oxidation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a randomized, open-label, 7-day prospective study. Participants were type 2 diabetes patients with hyperglycemia, aged >20 years, with glycated hemoglobin >10%, daily mean preprandial blood glucose >11 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) and no previous antidiabetic medication. A total of 18 type 2 diabetes patients were randomized (1:1) to basal-bolus insulin titration algorithm (INS) alone or INS + dapagliflozin 5 mg/day (INS/DAPA). The main outcome measures were total daily insulin dose to achieve euglycemia, as well as EE and respiratory quotient during fasting and postprandial states, measured by indirect calorimetry. RESULTS: The rate of euglycemia was higher in the INS/DAPA compared with INS group (100 vs 55.6%, P = 0.04), whereas the total daily dose of insulin was 19% lower and was accompanied by a decreased basal-bolus ratio (P = 0.02). Fasting and postprandial EE elevation were similar in both groups. The post-treatment fasting respiratory quotient significantly increased in the INS/DAPA group (0.72 ± 0.05 vs 0.79 ± 0.08, P = 0.04), and the postprandial respiratory quotient elevation was abolished; the opposite trend was observed in the INS group (P < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: INS/DAPA sustained fasting carbohydrate oxidation, postprandial lipid-derived EE (failed to increase carbohydrate-derived EE) and reduced basal insulin requirement might be related to further bodyweight loss.

RESUMO

Angiotensin II type-1 receptor blockers (ARBs) are regarded as first-line treatments for type-2 diabetes with hypertension. Despite the availability of various types of ARBs, there are no comparative studies of their effects on patients with diabetes. In this open-label prospective crossover study, we compared the effects of olmesartan (20 mg/day) and telmisartan (40 mg/day). Twenty Japanese early-stage type-2 diabetes patients with hypertension treated with valsartan (80 mg/day) for at least 8 weeks were recruited to this study. At study entry, valsartan was changed to olmesartan (20 mg/day) or telmisartan (40 mg/day) and administered for 8 weeks. The drugs were then switched and treatment was continued for another 8 weeks. We analyzed the blood pressure lowering effects of each drug by 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring at 0, 8, and 16 weeks. Simultaneously, we measured metabolic parameters and inflammation markers. Olmesartan lowered mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure more significantly than did telmisartan. While there were no differences between the groups in metabolic parameters, including HbA1c and adiponectin, the decreases in serum interleukin-6 and highly sensitive C-reactive protein were more significant by olmesartan treatment. Our results indicate that olmesartan has more potent arterial blood pressure lowering and anti-inflammatory effects than telmisartan.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Glucocorticoids are a major class of stress hormones known to participate in stress-induced hyperalgesia. Although 11ß-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11ß-HSD1) is a key enzyme in the intracellular regeneration of glucocorticoids in the CNS, its role in pain perception has not been assessed. Here, we examined the effects of ASP3662, a novel 11ß-HSD1 inhibitor, on neuropathic and dysfunctional pain. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: The enzyme inhibitory activities and pharmacokinetics of ASP3662 were examined, and its antinociceptive effects were evaluated in models of neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia and inflammatory pain in Sprague-Dawley rats. KEY RESULTS: ASP3662 inhibited human, mouse and rat 11ß-HSD1 but not human 11ß-HSD2, in vitro. ASP3662 had no significant effect on 87 other possible targets (enzymes, transporters and receptors). ASP3662 inhibited in vitro conversion of glucocorticoid from its inactive to active form in extracts of rat brain and spinal cord. Pharmacokinetic analysis in Sprague-Dawley rats showed that ASP3662 has CNS-penetrability and long-lasting pharmacokinetic properties. Single oral administration of ASP3662 ameliorated mechanical allodynia in spinal nerve ligation (SNL) and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and thermal hyperalgesia in chronic constriction nerve injury rats. ASP3662 also restored muscle pressure thresholds in reserpine-induced myalgia rats. Intrathecal administration of ASP3662 was also effective in SNL rats. However, ASP3662 had no analgesic effects in adjuvant-induced arthritis rats. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: ASP3662 is a potent, selective and CNS-penetrable inhibitor of 11ß-HSD1. The effects of ASP3662 suggest that selective inhibition of 11ß-HSD1 may be an attractive approach for the treatment of neuropathic and dysfunctional pain, as observed in fibromyalgia.
