RESUMEN
Increasing evidences suggest that type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is closely related to gut microflora dysbiosis, which can be improved by dietary intervention. Four natural plant products, including Cyclocarya paliurus, Fu brick tea, Ampelopsis grossedentata, and Lithocarpus litseifolius, were blended to form a blended tea product for obtaining the better flavor. The blended tea was also expected to have excellent pharmacological activity. Therefore, the ameliorative effect of blended tea on T2DM and underlying mechanisms were studied in this study. The results showed that the blended tea extract effectively attenuated the symptoms of glucose and lipid metabolism-related disorders in T2DM mice fed by high-fat and high-sucrose diet. Furthermore, blended tea extract intervention significantly attenuated gut microbiota dysbiosis, the abundance of bacteria such as Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, which aid in the hydrolysis and utilization of carbohydrates, significantly increased, while the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Proteobacteria significantly decreased. Certain core microorganisms involved in energy metabolism, including Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005, Butyricimonas, Roseburia, Oscillibacter, [Eubacterium]_nodatum_group, Muribaculaceae, Prevotellaceae UCG 001, were also found to be improved by blended tea extract. Collectively, our results demonstrated that the blended tea may ameliorate T2DM through modulation of gut microflora. The blended tea may serve as novel functional drink for the treatment of T2DM and dysbiosis of gut microbiota.
RESUMEN
Background: The inflammation plays a role in the pathophysiology of type-2 diabetes progression, and the mechanism remains unclear. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammatory marker for type 2 diabetes patients and integrates multiple indicators in complete blood counts and routine blood tests. Aim: Since there is no international diagnostic standard for dry eye disease (DED), this study uses low-cost inflammatory blood biomarkers to investigate the correlation between SII and DM2-DED and determine the diagnosis indices of other biomarkers in DM2-DED. Methodology: A case-control retrospective analysis of totel patients n = 293 randomly selected and categorized into four groups: DED, DM2, DM2-DED, and healthy subjects. Demographic and blood biomarker variables were classified as categorical and continuous variables. The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocytes-to-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and SII were calculated platelet count multiply by NLR and analyzed for their correlation for all groups. Results: Focusing on DM2-DED patients was more common in females, 59.6%, than in males, 40.2%. The mean ages were 60.7 ± 11.85 years, a statistically significant difference with all groups. In the study group DM2-DED, there was an increase in all blood markers compared to all remaining groups except PLR. Only neutrophil, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and fasting blood sugar levels were statistically significant differences in DM2-DED patients (p > 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively) compared to all groups. There was a positive correlation between HbA1c and PLR, HbA1c and NLR, and HbA1c and SII (r = 0.037, p = 0.705; r = 0.031, p = 0.754; and r = 0.066, p < 0.501, respectively) in the DM2-DED group. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that elevated SII values were linked to elevated HbA1c in DM2-DED patients. The potential of SII and HbA1c as early diagnostic indicators for ocular problems associated with diabetes mellitus is highlighted by their favorable connection in diagnosing DM2-DED.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose-cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), reducing the risk of cardiovascular and renal end points by up to 40%. The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to examine the effects of empagliflozin versus placebo on renal hemodynamics, sodium balance, vascular function, and markers of the innate immune system in patients with DM2, DM2 and CKD, and nondiabetic CKD. METHODS: We conducted 3 double-blind, crossover, randomized controlled trials, each with identical study protocols but different study populations. We included patients with DM2 and preserved kidney function (estimated glomerular filtration rate >60 mL/min/1.73 m2), DM2 and CKD, and nondiabetic CKD (both with estimated glomerular filtration rate 20-60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Each participant was randomly assigned to 4 weeks of treatment with either 10 mg of empagliflozin once daily or a matching placebo. After a wash-out period of at least 2 weeks, participants were crossed over to the opposite treatment. End points were measured at the end of each treatment period. The primary end point was renal blood flow measured with 82Rubidium positron emission tomography-computed tomography (82Rb-PET/CT). Secondary end points include glomerular filtration rate measured with 99mTechnetium-diethylene-triamine-pentaacetate (99mTc-DTPA) clearance, vascular function assessed by forearm venous occlusion strain gauge plethysmography, measurements of the nitric oxide (NO) system, water and sodium excretion, body composition measurements, and markers of the complement immune system. RESULTS: Recruitment began in April 2021 and was completed in September 2022. Examinations were completed by December 2022. In total, 49 participants completed the project: 16 participants in the DM2 and preserved kidney function study, 17 participants in the DM2 and CKD study, and 16 participants in the nondiabetic CKD study. Data analysis is ongoing. Results are yet to be published. CONCLUSIONS: This paper describes the rationale, design, and methods used in a project consisting of 3 double-blind, crossover, randomized controlled trials examining the effects of empagliflozin versus placebo in patients with DM2 with and without CKD and patients with nondiabetic CKD, respectively.

Objective: The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has risen dramatically. Among people living with HIV (PLHIV), chronic disease (now >15 cases/1000 in the general population worldwide) and long-term exposure to antiretroviral therapy (ART) can alter metabolic processes early, favoring insulin resistance and T2DM. We retrospectively studied the incidence of T2DM and associated factors in the Cohort of the Spanish AIDS Research Network, a prospective cohort of PLHIV enrolled at diagnosis and before initiation of ART. Methods: PLHIV were aged >18 years and ART naive at inclusion. The incidence of new diagnoses of T2DM after initiation of ART (per 1000 person-years) was calculated. Predictors of a diagnosis of T2DM were identified by a Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for statistically significant and clinically relevant variables. Results: Cumulative incidence was 5.9 (95% CI, 5.1-6.7) per 1000 person-years, increasing significantly in persons aged >50 years to 14.4 (95% CI, 10.4-19.3). Median time to diagnosis of T2DM was 27 months. Only age and higher education were significant. Interestingly, higher education was associated with a 33% reduction in the incidence of T2DM. Having received tenofovir disoproxil fumarate + (lamivudine or emtricitabine) + rilpivirine was almost significant as a protective factor (hazard ratio, 0.49; 95% CI, .24-1.01; P = .05). Conclusions: The incidence of T2DM in PLHIV in Spain was high, especially in persons aged >50 years. Age was the factor most closely associated with onset, and educational level was the factor most associated with reduced risk. We highlight the lack of association between HIV-related factors and T2DM and show that, within nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, rilpivirine could prove more benign for metabolic comorbidities.
RESUMEN
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a public health concern in Brazil, with deleterious effects on quality of life and increasing mortality rates. The prevalence of diabetes in Brazil is on the rise, and it is imperative to understand its effects on mortality rates in the last two decades in order to effectively mitigate the detrimental impact of diabetes on public health. This study aims to analyze mortality trends related to diabetes in Brazil from 2000 to 2021, encompassing both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, across sex and various age cohorts. Using joinpoint regression analysis, temporal trends in Brazil were assessed, while also incorporating findings from previous studies and considering potential influencing factors, such as government initiatives and cuts in healthcare investment. The study revealed a general upward trend in mortality rates associated with DM1 and DM2 over the study period, in both males and females, with men showing a higher AAPC (average annual percent change), which translated into significantly increased mortality difference at the end of the study. Additionally, it revealed elevated mortality values for extreme age groups in the age cohorts studied, with the exception of middle-aged cohort groups in DM2, which showed an expected higher APC (annual percent change), considering the age of highest incidence of DM2 in those age groups. This comprehensive analysis provides critical insights into the escalating impact of diabetes on mortality rates in Brazil and highlights the urgent need for healthcare strategies. It is expected that the increased prevalence of diabetes in the Brazilian population adds an additional economic burden to healthcare expenditure by the Brazilian government, further worsening the health disparities among different social groups. Unless several political decisions to reduce healthcare expenditure are reversed, greater difficulties in accessing treatments will be detrimental for vulnerable social groups in Brazil. By understanding the nuanced patterns of diabetes-related mortality, healthcare providers and policymakers can allocate resources effectively and implement tailored interventions to better address diabetes in Brazil.
RESUMEN
Abstract The main purpose of this study was to find out a possible association between ABO blood groups or Rh and diabetes mellitus (DM) in the local population of eight (8) different towns of Karachi, Pakistan. For this purpose a survey was carried out in Karachi to have a practical observation of these towns during the period of 9 months from June 2019 to Feb. 2020. Out of eighteen (18) towns of Karachi, samples (N= 584) were collected from only eight (8) Towns of Karachi and gave a code-number to each town. Diabetic group sample was (n1=432) & pre-diabetes sample was (n2 =152). A standard Abbot Company Glucometer for Random Blood Sugar (RBS) and Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) tests, standard blood anti sera were used for ABO/Rh blood type. Health assessment techniques were performed ethically by taking informed consent from all registered subjects. Finally data was analyzed by SPSS version 20.0. In our current study, the comparison of ABO blood groups frequencies between diabetic and pre-diabetic individuals were carried out. The percentage values of blood Group-B as given as: (32% in DM vs. 31% in pre-diabetics), followed by blood Group-O as: (18% in DM vs. 11% in pre-diabetics). Contrary to Group-B & O, blood Group-A and Group-AB were distribution percentage higher pre-diabetic as compared to DM patients, as given as: Group-A (32% in pre-diabetics vs. 26% in DM) & Group-AB (26% in pre-diabetics vs. 24% in diabetics patients). In addition, percentage distribution of Rh system was also calculated, in which Rh+ve Group was high and more common in DM patients as compared to pre-diabetics; numerically given as: Rh+ve Group (80% in DM vs. 72% in pre-diabetics). Different views and dimensions of the research topic were studied through literature support, some have found no any association and some established a positive association still some were not clear in making a solid conclusion. It is concluded that DM has a positive correlation with ABO blood groups, and people with Group-B have increased susceptibility to DM disease.

Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia caused by a defect in the secretion or action or both of insulin. It has a complex pathogenesis. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) refers to an increase in the size of the prostate; it is one of the most common health problems in men that manifests with age. Lipoxygenase-12 (Lipox-12) is one of the enzymes in the Lipox 12/15 family, which plays a major role in catalyzing a variety of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are capable of producing different metabolites. Lipox-12 has a significant effect on arachidonic acid metabolism, with PUFA, a pro- and anti-inflammatory mediator, as one of the enzyme isoforms. It also plays a major role in modulating inflammation at multiple checkpoints as diabetes progresses. The present study aims to measure Lipox-12 levels in patients with DM type 2 (DM2) and patients with DM2 + BPH. Methodology This study was conducted in Musayyib General Hospital, south of Baghdad, where a clinical examination was performed on 50 samples from controls (healthy subjects), 50 patients with DM2, and 50 patients with DM2 + BPH after taking each patient's history. The examinations performed included fasting blood sugar (FBS), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), prostate-specific antigen (PSA), triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (Chol), and Lipox-12. Results The results showed that both the DM2 and DM2 + BPH groups had higher FBS, HbA1c, TG, and Chol levels than healthy subjects; in contrast, Lipox-12 levels were the lowest in the DM2 group (sensitivity = 79% and specificity = 81%) but higher in the DM2 + BPH group (sensitivity = 80%; specificity = 82%) compared to the control group. Conclusions Lipox-12 had a high sensitivity and specificity in the DM2 and DM2 + BPH groups compared to the control group, and in both cases, it was used to monitor and diagnose DM2 and BPH.
RESUMEN
Myotonic dystrophy 2 (DM2) is a genetic multi-systemic disease primarily affecting skeletal muscle. It is caused by CCTGn expansion in intron 1 of the CNBP gene, which encodes a zinc finger protein. DM2 disease has been successfully modeled in Drosophila melanogaster, allowing the identification and validation of new pathogenic mechanisms and potential therapeutic strategies. Here, we describe the principal tools used in Drosophila to study and dissect molecular pathways related to muscular dystrophies and summarize the main findings in DM2 pathogenesis based on DM2 Drosophila models. We also illustrate how Drosophila may be successfully used to generate a tractable animal model to identify novel genes able to affect and/or modify the pathogenic pathway and to discover new potential drugs.

No âmbito do 3º semestre do 2º curso do Mestrado em Enfermagem de Saúde Familiar foi desenvolvido um relatório de natureza profissional na Unidade de Cuidados Saúde Personalizados Cuid'arte (ACeS Pinhal Litoral). Por ser um contexto de excelência para o exercício das competências do enfermeiro de família, foi realizada uma análise crítico-reflexiva das competências desenvolvidas e dificuldades vivenciadas durante o Ensino Clínico. No sentido de enquadrar a prática clínica baseada na evidência e recorrendo à metodologia científica, desenvolveu-se uma Revisão Scoping (RS), dando resposta à questão de investigação: "Qual a perceção do utente quanto ao suporte familiar na gestão da sua DM2?". Através da pesquisa em bases de dados eletrónicas da plataforma (EBSCO), entre os dias 26 dezembro 2022 e 15 janeiro 2023, foram selecionados alguns artigos, sobre a qual recai esta RS. As conclusões detêm-se no facto de que o suporte social e amigos influencia positivamente as atividades de autogestão e autocuidado. Foi constatado, que os elementos portadores de Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) consideravam uma mais-valia o suporte social. Compreenderam-se três domínios de suporte social: Suporte Emocional, Suporte Instrumental, considerado como essencial para realizar o controlo diário da Diabetes. Conclui-se que o suporte para a gestão da DM2 compreende, sobretudo, três domínios: o social, o emocional e o instrumental, e que, na perspetiva do elemento familiar portador da doença, é sobretudo o domínio social, nomeadamente os amigos, que exercem maior influência de suporte na autogestão da doença.
As part of the 3rd semester of the 2nd course of the Masters in Family Health Nursing, a professional report was developed at the Cuid'arte Personalized Health Care Unit (ACeS Pinhal Litoral). As it is a context of excellence for the exercise of family nurse skills, a critical-reflective analysis was carried out of the skills developed and difficulties experienced during Clinical Teaching. In order to frame clinical practice based on evidence and using scientific methodology, a Scoping Review (RS) was developed, answering the research question: "What is the user's perception regarding family support in the management of their DM2?" . Through research in the platform's electronic databases (EBSCO), between December 26, 2022 and January 15, 2023, some articles were selected, on which this RS focuses. The conclusions focus on the fact that social support and friends positively influence self-management and self-care activities. It was found that people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM2) considered social support to be an added value. Three domains of social support were understood: Emotional Support, Instrumental Support, considered essential to carry out daily Diabetes control. It is concluded that support for the management of DM2 comprises, above all, three domains: the social, the emotional and the instrumental, and that, from the perspective of the family member who has the disease, it is above all the social domain, namely friends, who exert a greater supportive influence on self-management of the disease.

INTRODUCTION: Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a rare, multisystemic, autosomal dominant disease with highly variable clinical presentation. DM2 is considered to be highly underdiagnosed. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine which symptoms, signs, and diagnostic findings in patients referred to neurological outpatient units are the most indicative to arouse suspicion of DM2. We tried to make a useful and easy-to-administer clinical scoring system for early diagnosis of DM2-DM2 early diagnosis score (DM2-EDS). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two hundred ninety-one patients with a clinical suspicion of DM2 were included: 69 were genetically confirmed to have DM2, and 222 patients were DM2 negative. Relevant history, neurological, and paraclinical data were obtained from the electronic medical records. RESULTS: The following parameters appeared as significant predictors of DM2 diagnosis: cataracts (beta = 0.410, p < 0.001), myotonia on needle EMG (beta = 0.298, p < 0.001), hand tremor (beta = 0.211, p = 0.001), positive family history (beta = 0.171, p = 0.012), and calf hypertrophy (beta = 0.120, p = 0.043). In the final DM2-EDS, based on the beta values, symptoms were associated with the following values: cataracts (present 3.4, absent 0), myotonia (present 2.5, absent 0), tremor (present 1.7, absent 0), family history (positive 1.4, negative 0), and calf hypertrophy (present 1.0, absent 0). A cut-off value on DM2-EDS of 3.25 of maximum 10 points had a sensitivity of 84% and specificity of 81% to diagnose DM2. CONCLUSION: Significant predictors of DM2 diagnosis in the neurology outpatient unit were identified. We made an easy-to-administer DM2-EDS score for early diagnosis of DM2.

Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is a highly variable, multisystemic disorder that clinically affects one in 8000 individuals. While research has predominantly focused on the symptoms and pathological mechanisms affecting striated muscle and brain, DM patient surveys have identified a high prevalence for gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms amongst affected individuals. Clinical studies have identified chronic and progressive dysfunction of the esophagus, stomach, liver and gallbladder, small and large intestine, and rectum and anal sphincters. Despite the high incidence of GI dysmotility in DM, little is known regarding the pathological mechanisms leading to GI dysfunction. In this review, we summarize results from clinical and molecular analyses of GI dysfunction in both genetic forms of DM, DM type 1 (DM1) and DM type 2 (DM2). Based on current knowledge of DM primary pathological mechanisms in other affected tissues and GI tissue studies, we suggest that misregulation of alternative splicing in smooth muscle resulting from the dysregulation of RNA binding proteins muscleblind-like and CUGBP-elav-like is likely to contribute to GI dysfunction in DM. We propose that a combinatorial approach using clinical and molecular analysis of DM GI tissues and model organisms that recapitulate DM GI manifestations will provide important insight into defects impacting DM GI motility.

INTRODUCCIÓN: la Proteína Quinasa Activada por AMP (AMPK), es una enzima monitora y reguladora central del estado energético celular, por tanto, es responsable de la respuesta celular al suministro y demanda de energía. El AMP actúa como activador en condiciones de déficit energético, mientras que el ATP la inactiva cuando las condiciones energéticas son más favorables. Debido a su función central en el metabolismo, la AMPK surge como un blanco proteico prometedor para el tratamiento de diferentes enfermedades como la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2), Síndrome Metabólico (SM), Cáncer, entre otros. Existen múltiples isoformas de AMPK que se regulan y expresan diferencialmente en todo el organismo. La isoforma AMPKß2 se expresa casi exclusivamente en músculo esquelético y dado que este es el órgano primario para el almacenamiento y eliminación de Glucosa, AMPKß2 puede dirigir su homeostasis por una ruta independiente a la Insulina. La molécula activadora SC4 tiene una gran selectividad por AMPKß2 y debido a su función biológica, podría servir como modelo farmacológico para coadyuvar el tratamiento de enfermedades metabólicas. OBJETIVO: análisis de la dinámica molecular de activación de la AMPKß2. METODOLOGÍA: en el presente estudio, se emplean herramientas bioinformáticas como Chimera 1.15 y Phyton Molecular Viewer. RESULTADOS: el análisis in silico permitió comprender varios aspectos estructurales relacionados con la acción de SC4 sobre la estructura trimérica de la AMPK, los aminoácidos con los que interacciona y cómo su estructura química le otorga gran selectividad. También fue útil para en un futuro, ampliar los criterios de extracción, identificación y/o diseño de compuestos activos a partir de fuentes naturales, con propiedades funcionales similares o aún mejores a SC4, para así poder emplearlos con un enfoque terapéutico que beneficie a nuestra población.
INTRODUCTION: protein Kinase Activated by AMP (AMPK), is a monitor enzyme and a central regulator of the energetic cellular state, therefore, it is responsible for the cellular response to the supply and demand of energy. AMP acts as an activator in conditions of energy deficit, while ATP inactivates it when energy conditions are more favorable. Due to its central role in metabolism, AMPK appears as a promising protein target for the treatment of different diseases such as Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2), Metabolic Syndrome (SM), and Cancer among others. There are multiple isoforms of AMPK that are regulated and differentially expressed throughout the body. The ß2-AMPK isoform is expressed almost exclusively in skeletal muscle and since this is the primary organ for Glucose disposal and storage, ß2-AMPK has an established role as a driver of insulin-independent Glucose clearance. The activator SC4 has a high selectivity for ß2-AMPK and due to its biological function; it could serve as a pharmacological model to aid the treatment of metabolic diseases. OBJETIVE: to analize the molecular dinamic of AMPK- ß2 activation. METHODOLOGY: in the present work we employed bioinformatics, Chimera 1.15 and Phyton Molecular Viewer. RESULTS: the in silico analysis allow us to understand many many structural features related to the action of SC4 on the trimeric structure of AMPK, the specific amino acids involved in the interaction and how its chemical structure gives it high selectivity. Thus, this structural analysis will be useful in order to broaden the criteria for extraction, identification and/or design of active compounds from natural sources, with similar or even better properties than SC4, to use them in a future, with a therapeutic approach that benefits our population.

The aim of this retrospective study, conducted in an Italian tertiary care hospital, was to evaluate maternal-fetal and neonatal clinical outcomes in a group of patients with pregestational diabetes mellitus (PGDM), such as diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1), diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2), and maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). Overall, 174 pregnant women, nulliparous and multiparous, with a single pregnancy were enrolled. Data on pregnancy, childbirth, and newborns were collected from medical records. The selected patients were divided into two groups: the PGDM group (42 with DM1, 14 with DM2, and 2 with MODY), and the control group (116 patients with a negative pathological history of diabetes mellitus). We reported an incidence of preterm delivery of 55.2% in the PGDM group, including 59.5% of those with DM1 and 42.9% of those with DM2, vs. 6% in the controls. Fetal growth disorders, such as intrauterine growth retardation, small for gestational age, and fetal macrosomia were found in 19% and 3.6% in the case and control groups, respectively. A relationship between DM2 and gestational hypertension was found.
RESUMEN
Introduction: Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is a rare autosomal dominant multisystemic disease with highly variable clinical presentation. Several case reports and one cohort study suggested a significant association between DM2 and autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the frequency and type of AIDs in patients with DM2 from the Serbian DM registry. Patients and Methods: A total of 131 patients with DM2 from 108 families were included, [62.6% women, mean age at DM2 onset 40.4 (with standard deviation 13) years, age at entering the registry 52 (12.8) years, and age at analysis 58.4 (12.8) years]. Data were obtained from Akhenaten, the Serbian registry for DM, and through the hospital electronic data system. Results: Upon entering the registry, 35 (26.7%) of the 131 patients with DM2 had AIDs including Hashimoto thyroiditis (18.1%), rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus type 1, systemic lupus, Sjogren's disease, localized scleroderma, psoriasis, celiac disease, Graves's disease, neuromyelitis optica, myasthenia gravis, and Guillain-Barre syndrome. At the time of data analysis, one additional patient developed new AIDs, so eventually, 36 (28.8%) of 125 DM2 survivors had AIDs. Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) were found in 14 (10.7%) of 63 tested patients, including 12 without defined corresponding AID (all in low titers, 1:40 to 1:160). Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) were negative in all 50 tested cases. The percentage of women was significantly higher among patients with AIDs (82.9% vs. 55.2%, p <0.01). Conclusion: AIDs were present in as high as 30% of the patients with DM2. Thus, screening for AIDs in DM2 seems reasonable. Presence of AIDs and/or ANAs may lead to under-diagnosis of DM2.
RESUMEN
Background:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive meta-inflammatory disorder, which induce micro and macrovascular complications. Resveratrol is a nutraceutical known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It improves insulin resistance; however, no clear evidence regarding its effects in patients with T2DM.Objectives:We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of oral resveratrol supplementation in type 2 diabetic patients concerning dose and duration.Methods:We searched PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, WOS, Wiley, and Google Scholar for RCTs evaluating the efficacy and safety of resveratrol on patients with T2DM. We screened the studies for the eligibility criteria, performed the quality assessment, extracted the studies characteristics, baseline, and outcome data of interest, and finally conducted the meta-analysis using RevManV5.3.Results:This systematic review and meta-analysis, including 17 RCTs with total 871 patients with T2DM, showed that resveratrol was superior to placebo on fasting blood glucose (FBG) and total cholesterol (TC) with doses ≥500mg {MD=−13.34, 95%CI [−22.73, −3.95], P=0.005}, {MD=−5.64, 95%CI [−6.95, −4.33], P<0.00001} respectively. Moreover, it improved HbA1c at three months {MD=−0.41, 95%CI [−0.65, −0.16], P=0.001 and systolic blood pressure {MD: −7.91, 95%CI [−10.44, −5.37], P<0.00001}.Conclusion:We concluded that resveratrol beneficially modulates glycemic control as well as cardiometabolic parameters in patients with T2DM.

Muscular dystrophies are a group of disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness. There is an increasing interest for the development of biomarkers for these disorders and specifically for Duchene Muscular Dystrophy. Limited research however, has been performed on the biomarkers' development for the most rare muscular dystrophies, like the Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and Myotonic Dystrophy type 2. Here, we aimed to identify novel serum-based miRNA biomarkers for these rare muscular dystrophies, through high-throughput next-generation RNA sequencing. We identified many miRNAs that associate with muscular dystrophy patients compared to controls. Based on a series of selection criteria, the two best candidate miRNAs for each of these disorders were chosen and validated in a larger number of patients. Our results showed that miR-223-3p and miR-206 are promising serum-based biomarkers for Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy type 1, miR-143-3p and miR-486-3p for Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2A whereas miR-363-3p and miR-25-3p associate with Myotonic Dystrophy type 2. Some of the identified miRNAs were significantly elevated in the serum of the patients compared to controls, whereas some others were lower. In conclusion, we provide new evidence that certain circulating miRNAs may be used as biomarkers for three types of rare muscular dystrophies.
