RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Pathogenic variants in PLIN1-encoding PLIN1 (perilipin-1) are responsible for an autosomal dominant form of familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL) associated with severe insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis, and important hypertriglyceridemia. This study aims to decipher the mechanisms of hypertriglyceridemia associated with PLIN1-related FPL. METHODS: We performed an in vivo lipoprotein kinetic study in 6 affected patients compared with 13 healthy controls and 8 patients with type 2 diabetes. Glucose and lipid parameters, including plasma LPL (lipoprotein lipase) mass, were measured. LPL mRNA and protein expression were evaluated in abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue from patients with 5 PLIN1-mutated FPL and 3 controls. RESULTS: Patients with PLIN1-mutated FPL presented with decreased fat mass, insulin resistance, and diabetes (glycated hemoglobin A1c, 6.68±0.70% versus 7.48±1.63% in patients with type 2 diabetes; mean±SD; P=0.27). Their plasma triglycerides were higher (5.96±3.08 mmol/L) than in controls (0.76±0.27 mmol/L; P<0.0001) and patients with type 2 diabetes (2.94±1.46 mmol/L, P=0.006). Compared with controls, patients with PLIN1-related FPL had a significant reduction of the indirect fractional catabolic rate of VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein)-apoB100 toward IDL (intermediate-density lipoprotein)/LDL (low-density lipoprotein; 1.79±1.38 versus 5.34±2.45 pool/d; P=0.003) and the indirect fractional catabolic rate of IDL-apoB100 toward LDL (2.14±1.44 versus 7.51±4.07 pool/d; P=0.005). VLDL-apoB100 production was not different between patients with PLIN1-related FPL and controls. Compared with patients with type 2 diabetes, patients with PLIN1-related FPL also showed a significant reduction of the catabolism of both VLDL-apoB100 (P=0.031) and IDL-apoB100 (P=0.031). Plasma LPL mass was significantly lower in patients with PLIN1-related FPL than in controls (21.03±10.08 versus 55.76±13.10 ng/mL; P<0.0001), although the LPL protein expression in adipose tissue was similar. VLDL-apoB100 and IDL-apoB100 indirect fractional catabolic rates were negatively correlated with plasma triglycerides and positively correlated with LPL mass. CONCLUSIONS: We show that hypertriglyceridemia associated with PLIN1-related FPL results from a marked decrease in the catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (VLDL and IDL). This could be due to a pronounced reduction in LPL availability, related to the decreased adipose tissue mass.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: A difference in cortical treatment of taste information could alter food intake promoting the development of obesity. The main purpose was to compare, in subjects living with obesity (OB) and normal-weight subjects (NW), the characteristics of gustatory evoked potentials (GEP) for sucrose solution (10 g.100 mL-1) before and after a standard lunch. The secondary objective was to evaluate the correlations between GEP and the plasmatic levels of acylated ghrelin, leptin, insulin and serotonin. METHODS: Each subject had 2 randomized sessions spaced by an interval of 2 days. During one session, subjects were fasting and during the other, subjects took a lunch low in sugar. In each session, subjects had a blood test before a first GEP recording followed by a second GEP recording either after a lunch (feeding session) or no lunch (fasting session). RESULTS: Twenty-eight OB (BMI: 38.6 ± 9.0 kg.m-2) were matched to 22 NW (BMI: 22.3 ± 2.2 kg.m-2). GEP latencies were prolonged in OB regardless the sessions and the time before and after lunch, compared with NW (in Cz at the morning: 170 ± 33 ms vs 138 ± 25 ms respectively; p < 0.001). The increase in latency observed in NW after lunch was not observed in OB. Negative or positive correlations were noted in all participants between GEP latencies and ghrelin, leptin, insulin plasmatic levels (P1Cz, r = -0.38, r = 0.33, r = 0.37 respectively, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights a slower activation in the taste cortex in OB compared with NW.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that ceramides play a significant role in the onset and progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a highly prevalent condition in patients with type 2 diabetes associated with hepatic and cardiovascular events. However, the relationship between plasma ceramide levels and NAFLD severity in type 2 diabetes remains unclear. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate whether circulating levels of ceramides in patients with type 2 diabetes are associated with liver steatosis assessed by the highly accurate magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF). The secondary objective was to assess the relationship between plasma ceramides and noninvasive scores of liver fibrosis. METHODS: In this cross-sectional single-center study, plasma concentrations of 7 ceramides were measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in 255 patients with type 2 diabetes (GEPSAD cohort). Liver fat content was assessed by MRI-PDFF, and noninvasive scores of liver fibrosis (i.e. Fibrosis-4 index, NAFLD Fibrosis Score, FibroTest® and Fibrotic NASH Index) were calculated. A validation cohort of 80 patients with type 2 diabetes was also studied (LIRA-NAFLD cohort). RESULTS: Liver steatosis, defined as a liver fat content > 5.56%, was found in 62.4 and 82.5% of individuals with type 2 diabetes in the GEPSAD and LIRA-NAFLD cohorts, respectively. In GEPSAD, MRI-PDFF-measured liver fat content was positively associated with plasma levels of total ceramides (r = 0.232, p = 0.0002), and 18:0, 20:0, 22:0 and 24:0 ceramides in univariate analysis (p ≤ 0.0003 for all). In multivariate analysis, liver fat content remained significantly associated with total ceramides (p = 0.001), 18:0 (p = 0.006), 22:0 (p = 0.0009) and 24:0 ceramides (p = 0.0001) in GEPSAD, independently of age, diabetes duration, body mass index and dyslipidemia. Overall, similar relationship between plasma ceramides and liver fat content was observed in the LIRA-NAFLD validation cohort. No significant association was found between plasma ceramides and noninvasive scores of fibrosis after adjustment for age in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Plasma ceramide levels are associated with liver steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes, independently of traditional risk factors for NAFLD. The independent association between plasma ceramides and liver steatosis adds new insights regarding the relationship between ceramides and NAFLD in type 2 diabetes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence supports that dihydroceramides (DhCer) and ceramides (Cer) contribute to the pathophysiology of insulin resistance and liver steatosis, and that their circulating concentrations are independently associated with cardiovascular outcomes. Circulating DhCer levels are increased in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). On the other hand, the GLP-1 receptor agonist liraglutide reduces major adverse cardiac events, insulin resistance and liver steatosis in T2D patients. The main purpose of the present study was therefore to investigate whether liraglutide decreases circulating levels of DhCer and Cer in T2D patients, which could be a mechanism involved in its cardiometabolic benefits. The secondary purpose was to assess the relationship between liraglutide-induced changes in DhCer/Cer levels and insulin resistance and liver steatosis. METHODS: Plasma concentrations of 11 DhCer and 15 Cer species were measured by a highly-sensitive mass spectrometry system in 35 controls and 86 T2D patients before and after 6 months of liraglutide (1.2 mg/day). Insulin resistance was estimated by the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index. Liver fat content (LFC) was assessed in 53 patients by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. RESULTS: Plasma levels of total DhCer, 7 DhCer and 7 Cer species were increased in T2D patients compared to controls. Liraglutide decreased total DhCer by 15.1% (p = 0.005), affecting 16:0 (p = 0.037), 18:0 (p < 0.0001), 18:1 (p = 0.0005), 20:0 (p = 0.0003), 23:0 (p = 0.005) and 24:1 (p = 0.04) species. Total plasma Cer did not significantly change after liraglutide (p = 0.18), but 5 Cer species decreased significantly, i.e. 18:0 and 18:1 (both p < 0.0001), 19:0 and 24:1 (both p < 0.01) and 26:1 (p = 0.04). In multivariate analysis, the reduction in DhCer after liraglutide was independently associated with the reduction in LFC (p = 0.0005) and in TyG index (p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Liraglutide reduces plasma levels of numerous DhCer and Cer species in T2D patients, which may contribute to the cardiovascular benefit observed in the LEADER trial. The independent association between the decrease in plasma DhCer level with the reduction in LFC and TyG index adds new insights regarding the relationship between DhCer, liver steatosis and insulin resistance.

RESUMO

Apolipoprotein C1 (apoC1) is a small size apolipoprotein whose exact role is not totally clarified but which seems to modulate significantly the metabolism of lipoproteins. ApoC1 is involved in the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins by inhibiting the binding of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) to VLDL-receptor (VLDL-R), to low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) and to LDL receptor related protein (LRP), by reducing the activity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and by stimulating VLDL production, all these effects leading to increase plasma triglycerides. ApoC1 takes also part in the metabolism of high density lipoproteins (HDL) by inhibiting Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein (CETP). The functionality of apoC1 on CETP activity is impaired in diabetes that might account, at least in part, for the increased plasma CETP activity observed in patients with diabetes. Its different effects on lipoprotein metabolism with a possible role in the modulation of inflammation makes the net impact of apoC1 on cardiometabolic risk difficult to figure out and apoC1 might be considered as pro-atherogenic or anti-atherogenic depending on the overall metabolic context. Making the link between total plasma apoC1 levels and the risk of cardio-metabolic diseases is difficult due to the high exchangeability of this small protein whose biological effects might depend essentially on its association with VLDL or HDL. The role of apoC1 in humans is not entirely elucidated and further studies are needed to determine its precise role in lipid metabolism and its possible pleiotropic effects on inflammation and vascular wall biology. In this review, we will present data on apoC1 structure and distribution among lipoproteins, on the effects of apoC1 on VLDL metabolism and HDL metabolism and we will discuss the possible links between apoC1, atherosclerosis and diabetes.

RESUMO

Neutropenia related to ELANE gene mutations predisposes patients to infection and leukemia/myelodysplasia, but little is known about the predisposition to cancer. Among a cohort of 147 patients, we identified four with malignant solid tumors (papillary thyroid cancer, anal squamous cell cancer, papillary renal cell carcinoma, and adrenocortical carcinoma), all aged 25-50 years. Three occurred with cyclic neutropenia, and one occurred with severe chronic neutropenia. Previous radiotherapy was identified as a risk factor in one patient. No genetic predisposition was identified in the three other patients.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Little is known about the prevalence of hypoglycaemia in older people with diabetes. However, the HbA1c goal is ≥8% for institutionalised patients with treatments that can cause hypoglycaemia. PURPOSE: We aimed to assess the prevalence of hypoglycaemia with continuous glucose monitoring and to evaluate the link with HbA1C in older institutionalised patients with diabetes taking potentially hypoglycaemia-inducing drugs. DESIGN: Prospective, multicentre study carried out in six geriatric care centres in the Côte d'Or region of France between January 2019 and July 2020. SETTINGS, SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A FreeStyle Libre Pro® (FSLP) was worn for up to 14 days in blinded mode in 42 patients taking at least one potentially hypoglycaemia-inducing antidiabetic drug. RESULTS: Two hundred and forty-two hypoglycaemic events were detected in 79% (n = 33) of patients wearing the FSLP. One or more hypoglycaemic event was detected in 100% of patients with HbA1C < 7% and in 79% of patients with HbA1C ≥ 8% (P = 0.02). The time spent in hypoglycaemia was higher in patients with HbA1C < 7% than those with HbA1C ≥ 8% (P = 0.015). Time spent <54 mg/dl was detected in 45% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: We report a very high prevalence of hypoglycaemia, with a significant proportion of severe hypoglycaemia, in older institutionalised patients with diabetes taking potentially hypoglycaemia-inducing drugs. Having HbA1C < 7% exposes patients to a higher risk of hypoglycaemia, but this risk remains also high in patients with HbA1C ≥ 8%. In this population, continuous glucose monitoring could be considered an effective tool to detect hypoglycemia, which is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, falling, fractures, cognitive impairment and mortality.

RESUMO

Objective- Treatment with liraglutide, a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) agonist, has been shown to reduce postprandial lipidemia, an important feature of diabetic dyslipidemia. However, the underlying mechanisms for this effect remain unknown. This prompted us to study the effect of liraglutide on the metabolism of ApoB48 (apolipoprotein B48). Approach and Results- We performed an in vivo kinetic study with stable isotopes (D8-valine) in the fed state in 10 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus before treatment and 6 months after the initiation of treatment with liraglutide (1.2 mg/d). We also evaluated, in mice, the effect of a 1-week liraglutide treatment on postload triglycerides and analysed in vitro on jejunum, the direct effect of liraglutide on the expression of genes involved in the biosynthesis of chylomicron. In diabetic patients, liraglutide treatment induced a dramatic reduction of ApoB48 pool (65±38 versus 162±87 mg; P=0.005) because of a significant decrease in ApoB48 production rate (3.02±1.33 versus 6.14±4.27 mg kg-1 d-1; P=0.009) and a significant increase in ApoB48 fractional catabolic rate (5.12±1.35 versus 3.69±0.75 pool d-1; P=0.005). One-week treatment with liraglutide significantly reduced postload plasma triglycerides in mice and liraglutide, in vitro, reduced the expression of ApoB48, DGAT1 (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1), and MTP (microsomal transfer protein) genes. Conclusions- We show that treatment with liraglutide induces a significant reduction of the ApoB48 pool because of both a reduction of ApoB48 production and an increase in ApoB48 catabolism. In vitro, liraglutide reduces the expression of genes involved in chylomicron synthesis. These effects might benefit cardiovascular health.

RESUMO

ApolipoproteinC1 (apoC1) is the main physiological inhibitor of the cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP). Increased CETP activity is associated with macrovascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). ApoC1 has lost its ability to inhibit CETP in patients with T1D, and in vitro glycation of apoC1 increases CETP activity, suggesting that hyperglycemia could be a factor implicated in the loss of the inhibitory effect of apoC1 on CETP. Thus, we aimed to see whether improvement of glycemic control might restore apoC1 inhibitory effect on CETP. We studied 98 patients with T1D and HbA1c > 9% at baseline and 3 months after improvement of glycemic control by a medical intervention (insulin introduction or changes in multi-injection therapy or pump therapy introduction/therapeutic education for all patients). CETP activity was assessed by a radioactive method and plasma apoC1 levels were measured by ELISA. The different isoforms of apoC1 were determined by mass spectrometry. CETP activity was not significantly modified after improvement of glycemic control, despite a significant reduction in mean HbA1c (8.7 ± 1.7 vs. 10.8 ± 2, p < 0.0001). No association between plasma apoC1 and CETP activity was observed in patients with T1D at baseline, nor at 3 months, even in the subgroup of patients with optimal control (3-month HbA1c < 7%). We did not find any glycated form of apoC1 using mass spectrometry in people with T1D. Hyperglycemia in vivo does not seem to be a major factor implicated in the loss of apoC1 ability to inhibit CETP activity observed in T1D. Other factors, such as qualitative abnormalities of lipoproteins, could be involved. Our data emphasize the fact that hyperglycemia is not the only factor involved in lipid abnormalities and macrovascular complications in T1D. Clinical trial reg. no. NCT02816099 ClinicalTrials.gov.

RESUMO

AIM: The catabolism of high density lipoprotein (HDL) apolipoprotein AI (apoAI) is accelerated in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), related to hypertriglyceridemia, insulin resistance and low plasma adiponectin levels. Since liraglutide is likely to partly correct these abnormalities, we hypothesized that it might have a beneficial effect on HDL apoAI kinetics in patients with T2D. METHODS: An in vivo kinetic study of HDL apoAI was performed in 10 patients with T2D before and after 6 months of treatment with 1.2 mg/day of liraglutide, using a bolus of l-[1-13C]leucine followed by a 16-hour constant infusion. RESULTS: Liraglutide reduced BMI (34.9 ± 4.7 vs 36.6 ± 4.9 kg/m2, P = 0.012), HbA1c (7.1 ± 1.1 vs 9.6 ± 2.6%, P = 0.003), HOMA-IR (5.5 ± 1.9 vs 11.6 ± 11.2, P = 0.003), fasting triglycerides (1.76 ± 0.37 vs 2.48 ± 0.69 mmol/l, P < 0.001) and triglycerides during kinetics (2.34 ± 0.81 vs 2.66 ± 0.65 mmol/l, P = 0.053). Plasma HDL cholesterol and adiponectin concentrations were unchanged (respectively 0.97 ± 0.26 vs 0.97 ± 0.19 mmol/l, P = 1; 3169 ± 1561 vs 2618 ± 1651 µg/l, P = 0.160), similar to triglyceride content in HDL (5.13 ± 1.73 vs 5.39 ± 1.07%, P = 0.386). Liraglutide modified neither HDL apoAI fractional catabolic rate (0.35 ± 0.11 vs 0.38 ± 0.11 pool/day, P = 0.375), nor its production rate (0.44 ± 0.13 vs 0.49 ± 0.15 g/l/day, P = 0.375), nor its plasma concentration (1.26 ± 0.19 vs 1.29 ± 0.14 g/l, P = 0.386). CONCLUSION: Six months of treatment with 1.2 mg/day of liraglutide had no effect on the kinetics of HDL apoAI in patients with T2D. The lack of decrease in triglyceride content in HDL related to an only moderate decrease in triglyceridemia, probably greatly explains these results. Insufficient improvement of insulin sensitivity and adiponectinemia may also be implied.

RESUMO

Smoking increases insulin resistance via multiple mechanisms but is a poorly understood risk factor for onset of type-2 diabetes. It is also associated with impaired beta-cell function in humans, but again the mechanisms are poorly understood. Mechanistic studies of the impact of smoking on carbohydrate metabolism mainly evaluated nicotine as the causal agent, and more rarely other tobacco constituents, making it impossible to conclude that the risk of diabetes is linked to the effects of nicotine alone. Active smoking also has negative impact on glycemic control in both type-1 and type-2 diabetic patients. It increases the risk of all-cause mortality and worsens the chronic complications of diabetes. Impact on microangiopathic complications in type-2 diabetic patients, however, is more controversial. Data on pharmacological and behavioral strategies for smoking cessation used in the general population are more sparse in diabetic patients, despite opportunities with recent therapeutic trials involving varenicline and GLP-1 analogues. It is essential for diabetic patients to stop smoking, and diabetologists must get involved in smoking cessation as they have done for many years in therapeutic education, which can easily include measures to help patients stop smoking.

RESUMO

AIM: New tools are required to better assess cardiovascular risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Plasma ceramides emerge as promising candidates, given their substantial influence on the pathogenesis of both T2DM and atherosclerosis. The current study aimed to investigate whether plasma ceramides in patients with T2DM are a predictive factor for carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), a well-established noninvasive marker for atherosclerosis that predicts adverse cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS: A lipidomic analysis was carried out on the circulating ceramides of a large cohort consisting of 246 patients with T2DM who underwent a high-resolution real-time B ultrasonography to measure CIMT. RESULTS: Both plasma 16:0 ceramide and the 16:0/24:0 ceramide ratio were positively associated with CIMT, even after adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors [standardized ß ± standard error: 0.168 ± 0.072 (P = 0.020) and 0.180 ± 0.068 (P = 0.009), respectively]. Similar independent associations were found with respect to the prediction of CIMT ≥ 0.80 mm [ß = 8.07 ± 3.90 (P = 0.038) and 16.5 ± 7.0 (P = 0.019), respectively]. The goodness-of-fit for multivariate models in predicting CIMT was 5.7 and 7.6 times higher when plasma 16:0 ceramide or the 16:0/24:0 ceramide ratio were included in combination with traditional cardiovascular risk factors (P = 0.020 and 0.015, respectively). This reached a 3.1 and 10.0-fold increase regarding the ability to predict CIMT ≥ 0.80 mm (P = 0.039 and 0.008, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that 16:0 ceramide and the 16:0/24:0 ceramide ratio may serve as plasma biomarkers to improve cardiovascular risk assessment in individuals with T2DM.

RESUMO

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses simple liver steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and liver fibrosis that can progress to cirrhosis. NAFLD has become the principal cause of chronic liver disease in many parts of the world. Lipidomic studies, by allowing to determine concentrations of lipid classes and fatty acid composition of different lipid species, have been of great interest to help understand NAFLD pathophysiology and potentially identify novel biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis. Indeed, lipidomic data give information on qualitative lipid abnormalities associated with NAFLD. The aim of our article was to create a comprehensive and more synthetic review of main results from lipidomic studies in NAFLD. Literature was searched for all human lipidomic studies evaluating plasma samples of individuals with NAFLD. Results were regrouped by the degree of liver damage, either simple steatosis, NASH or liver fibrosis, and presented by lipid categories. Overall, we summarized the main lipidomic abnormalities associated with NAFLD as follows: modification of free fatty acid distribution, increase in ceramides, reduced phosphatidylcholine / phosphatidylethanolamine ratio, and increase in eicosanoids. These lipid abnormalities are likely to promote NASH and liver fibrosis by inducing mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, inflammation, oxidation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Although these lipidomic abnormalities are consistently reported in many studies, further research is needed to clarify whether they may be predictive for liver steatosis, NASH or liver fibrosis.

RESUMO

Smoking and diabetes mellitus (DM) have been identified as 2 major cardiovascular risk factors for many years. In the field of cardiovascular diseases, considering sex differences, or gender differences, or both has become an essential element in moving toward equitable and quality health care. We reviewed the effect of sex or gender on the link between smoking and DM. The risk of type 2 DM due to smoking has been established in both sexes at the same level. As is the case in the general population, the prevalence of smoking in those with DM is higher in men than in women, although the decrease in smoking observed in recent years is more pronounced in men than in women. Regarding chronic DM complications, smoking is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality, as well as macrovascular and microvascular complications, in both sexes. Nevertheless, in type 2 DM, the burden of smoking appears to be greater in women than in men for coronary heart disease morbidity, with women having a 50% greater risk of fatal coronary event. Women are more dependent to nicotine, cumulate psychosocial barriers to quitting smoking, and are more likely to gain weight, which might make it more difficult for them to quit smoking. Smoking cessation advice and treatments should take into account gender differences to improve the success and long-term maintenance of abstinence in people with and without DM. This might include interventions that address emotions and stress in women or designed to reach specific populations of men.

RESUMO

Insulinomas, with an incidence of 4 cases per million individuals per year, remain amongst the most frequent functional neuroendocrine tumors. The usual diameter of insulinomas usually remains under 3 cm of major axis. However, 44 exceptional cases of "giant insulinomas", have been reported worldwide, generally exceeding 9 cm in major axis. In this article, we report the case of a 38-year-old woman whom suffered from chronic hypoglycemia despite treatment with diazoxide. Abdominal CT-scan revealed a 88 x 73 mm mass located at the tail of the pancreas. Following surgical excision, histopathological analysis confirmed G1 neuroendocrine tumor, with focal cytoplasmic expression of insulin in tumor cells. After a 16-month follow-up period, the patient didn't address any specific complaint, and no disease recurrence and/or metastasis were observed. A 68Ga-DOTATATE-PET scan was performed 6 months after surgery, which came back normal. Genetic evaluation has not been performed in our patient. The physiopathology of giant insulinomas remain unexplained, however with possible relationship with type 1 multiple endocrine neoplasia, sporadic somatic YY1 mutations and possible transformation of bulky non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors to a functional phenotype, with slow insulin secretion. While giant insulinomas remain rare in the literature, multicentric genetic analysis of tumor samples might reveal unique features of this rare subtype of neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors. Insulinomas of large size tend to have greater malignancy and higher rates of invasiveness. Careful follow-up, especially for liver and lymph node metastases, must be performed using functional imaging techniques to avoid disease relapse.

RESUMO

AIMS: The aim of our study was to assess, with Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), exhaustive information on the glucose profile in people with diabetes starting chemotherapy. We also evaluated the adaptation of glucose-lowering drugs following analysis of CGM recordings. METHODS: Eighty-five people with diabetes starting chemotherapy were included in the ONCODIAB study. A CGM was worn for up to fourteen days in blinded mode before and after the diabetologist's intervention to evaluate the impact of modifying the glucose-lowering drugs. RESULTS: Time spent in range was 67.2 ± 24.2%. Time below the target glucose range (TBR) (< 70 mg/dl) was 8.9% in all the study population. TBR was significantly higher in patients treated with at least one drug due to the risk of hypoglycemia compared to the others (11.5% vs. 4.4%, p = 0.009). Sixty-five patients had available sensor data for the two recordings. Forty-one patients (51.9%) saw a decrease in their antidiabetic treatment after the diabetologist's intervention guided by the first CGM recording. We observed a significant reduction in the time spent below the target glucose range (70-55 mg/dl) between the two CGM recordings (10.3 ± 14.6% vs. 6.3 ± 9.4%, p = 0.016 and 3.8 ± 8.4% vs. 1.2 ± 2.9%, p = 0.012, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: CGM use in blinded mode could be an interesting tool to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia in people with diabetes starting chemotherapy. Our findings fully support the recommendation that assessing hypoglycemia risk should be mandatory in patients with diabetes before starting chemotherapy.

RESUMO

AIM: Dyslipidaemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which increases cardiovascular risk, includes abnormal metabolism of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Our group has recently shown that liraglutide increases LDL catabolism in patients with T2DM and that it reduces the expression of PCSK9 (a major inhibitor of LDL-receptor expression) in vitro and in mice. This prompted us to study the effect of liraglutide on plasma PCSK9 level in patients with T2DM. METHODS: We studied prospectively 82 patients with T2DM (51 without statins, 31 with statins). Plasma PCSK9 and plasma lipids were measured before and six months after the initiation of a treatment with liraglutide at a dose of 1.2 mg/day. RESULTS: Plasma PCSK9 was significantly reduced by liraglutide treatment (214.9 ± 56.4 vs 244.5 ± 99.2 ng/ml, P = 0.024) in patients not on statins, but not in patients treated with statins (301.1 ± 91.5 vs 281.2 ± 96.9 ng/ml, P = 0.41). In patients not on statins, a very significant 17% decrease in plasma PCSK9 was observed in patients with baseline haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) < 10% (n = 33; mean = -45.0 ng/ml, P = 0.013), when it was not observed in patients with baseline HbA1c ≥ 10% (n = 18; mean = +5.2 ng/ml, P = 0.75). In multivariate analysis, baseline HbA1c was an independent factor associated with plasma PCSK9 reduction, in patients not on statins. CONCLUSION: Treatment with liraglutide induces a significant reduction of plasma PCSK9 in patients with T2DM not on statins. This is in line with the acceleration of LDL catabolism that has been observed with liraglutide. However, this decrease in plasma PCSK9 is significantly influenced by glycaemic control and is not observed in patients with poorly controlled T2DM.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a growing global public health problem. More than half the European and North American population is overweight or obese. Colon and rectum cancers are still the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and epidemiological data support an association between obesity and colorectal cancers (CRCs). AIM: To review the literature on CRC epidemiology in obese subjects, assessing the effects of obesity, including childhood or maternal obesity, on CRC, diagnosis, management, and prognosis, and discussing targeted prophylactic measures. METHOD: We searched PubMed for obesity/overweight/metabolic syndrome and CRC. Other key words included 'staging', 'screening', 'treatment', 'weight loss', 'bariatric surgery' and 'chemotherapy'. RESULTS: In Europe, about 11% of CRCs are attributed to overweight and obesity. Epidemiological data suggest that obesity is associated with a 30%-70% increased risk of colon cancer in men, the association being less consistent in women. Visceral fat or abdominal obesity seems to be of greater concern than subcutaneous fat obesity, and any 1 kg/m2 increase in body mass index confers more risk (hazard ratio 1.03). Obesity might increase the likelihood of recurrence or mortality of the primary cancer and may affect initial management, including accurate staging. The risk maybe confounded by different factors, including lower adherence to organised CRC screening programmes. It is unclear whether bariatric surgery helps reduce rectal cancer risk. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a growing body of evidence linking obesity to CRC, many questions remain unanswered, including whether we should screen patients with obesity earlier or propose prophylactic bariatric surgery for certain patients with obesity.

RESUMO

AIM: Dysregulation of the renin angiotensin system (RAS) has been proven in diabetic animal models, and studies in humans show that diuretic use is associated with lower limb amputation in diabetes. While patients with diabetes are often treated with diuretics and RAS blockers, the association between wound healing and these treatments is still unknown. We aimed to determine whether the use of diuretics and RAS blockers could influence healing of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). METHODS: Two hundred seventy-six patients referred to a specialized diabetes foot care unit for a new foot ulcer were included in this retrospective observational study. RESULTS: Healing rate was significantly higher in patients not treated with diuretics than in those receiving diuretics (75.9 vs. 62.9%, P = 0.026) and in patients treated with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) than in those not treated with ARB (79.5 vs 64.4%, P = 0.012). The difference was not significant for angiotensin conversion enzyme inhibitor use. ARB use was independently and positively associated with wound healing in a multivariate adjusted model including several factors affecting wound healing (odds ratio (OR) 2.79 [1.13, 6.86] P = 0.025). Diuretic use was negatively associated with wound healing in univariate analysis (OR 0.54 [0.32, 0.91] P = 0.02) but not in multivariate adjusted analysis (OR 0.53 [0.26, 1.10] P = 0.088). CONCLUSIONS: This novel study found that ARB use is independently and positively associated with wound healing in 276 patients with DFU. On the contrary, diuretics were associated with healing rate only at univariate analysis. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm our findings.
