[Features of type 2 diabetes mellitus and its pharmacotherapy in outpatients].

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) remains the most common type of DM and is associat-ed with disabling complications, reduced quality of life and reduced life expectancy. Satisfactory control of carbohydrate metabolism remains the key way to manage them. AIM: To perform a retrospective analysis of carbohydrate metabolism (in terms of glycated hemoglobin - HbA1c), the prevalence of complications, and features of hypoglycemic and concomitant therapy in patients with type 2 DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The analysis of sex and age characteristics, achieved level of HbA1c, diabetes complications, sugar-reducing and concomitant therapy according to the data of outpatient records of the patients who are on dispensary registration with an endocrinologist in the Endocrinology Department of the Consultative and Diagnostic Polyclinic of the Tomsk Regional Clinical Hospital in Tomsk was carried out. RESULTS: 546 outpatient medical records of patients with type 2 DM were analysed, among which there were 39.6% men (n=216) with a history of type 2 DM 8.0 years [3.0; 13.0] , median age 64.0 years [54.5; 71.0] and 60.4% women (n=330), history of type 2 DM 10.0 years [5.0; 15.0], median age 70.0 years [63.0; 75.0]. The achieved HbA1c level in men was 7.6% [6.3; 9.0] and in women 7.4% [6.4; 9.1]. 19.4% of men and 13.6% of women had an aggravated history of type 2 DM. According to the history, 6.5% of men (n=14) and 3% of women (n=10) with type 2 DM had a history of stroke, and myocardial infarction 12% (n=26) and 1.5% (n=5), respectively. Among the analysed outpatient records of type 2 DM patients, 18.5% of men (n=40) and 12.4% of women (n=41) were found to have diabetic nephropathy. Diabetic retinopathy was reported in 9.3% (n=20) of men and 4.2% (n=14) of women. Diabetic macroangiopathies were detected in 29.6% (n=64) of males and 9.7% (n=32) of females. Among other chronic complications of DM, diabetic neuroosteoarthropathy was recorded in 1% (n=2) of males and 3% (n=10) of females, diabetic polyneuropathy in 25% (n=54) and 21.5% (n=71), respectively. Diabetic foot was diagnosed in 1.9% (n=4) of men and 1.8% (n=6) of women. Among comorbid pathology, obesity was diagnosed in 45.4% (n=88) of men and 69.1% (n=228) of women, dyslipidaemia in 10.2% (n=22) and 10.6% (n=35) respectively, hypertension in 39.8% (n=86) and 32.6% (n=108) of cases. The diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease was verified in 3.7% of men (n=7) and 1.8% of women (n=6), chronic heart failure in 7.4% of men (n=16) and 2.4% of women (n=8) registered for type 2 DM. According to the analysed outpatient records, 4.1% (n=23) of patients received diet therapy, 48.3% (n=263) received monotherapy and 47.6% (n=260) received combination therapy for type 2 DM. Metformin was the most commonly used monotherapy for type 2 DM 36.1% (n=197), followed by insulin 6.9% (n=38), sulfonylurea derivatives - 2.7% (n=15). Combination of metformin and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (13.9%) was the most commonly used combination therapy. CONCLUSION: Analysis of the current situation in the diabetology service will help to identify weaknesses and strengths, which is necessary to optimise existing therapeutic approaches in accordance with current clinical recommendations.

IL-4 regulates neutrophilic pulmonary inflammation in a mouse model of bronchial asthma.

Neutrophilic pulmonary inflammation in asthmatics substantially exacerbates the severity of the disease leading to resistance to conventional corticosteroid therapy. Many studies established the involvement of Th1- and Th17-cells and cytokines produced by them (IFNg, IL-17A, IL-17F etc.) in neutrophilic pulmonary inflammation. Recent studies revealed that IL-4 - a Th2-cytokine regulates neutrophil effector functions and migration. It was showed that IL-4 substantially reduces neutrophilic inflammation of the skin in a mouse model of cutaneous bacterial infection and blood neutrophilia in a mouse model systemic bacterial infection. However, there are no data available regarding the influence of IL-4 on non-infectious pulmonary inflammation. In the current study we investigated the effects of IL-4 in a previously developed mouse model of neutrophilic bronchial asthma. We showed that systemic administration of IL-4 significantly restricts neutrophilic inflammation of the respiratory tract probably through the suppression of Th1-/Th17-immune responses and downregulation of CXCR2. Additionally, pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation could be alleviated by IL-4-dependant polarization of N2 neutrophils and M2 macrophages, expressing anti-inflammatory TGFß. Considering these, IL-4 might be used for reduction of exaggerated pulmonary neutrophilic inflammation and overcoming corticosteroid insensitivity of asthma patients.

Effect of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist on the Expression Patterns of Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1, Androgen Receptor, and Luteinizing Hormone Receptor in an Experimental Rat Model of Functional Ovarian Cysts.

We studied the expression of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), androgen receptor (AR) and luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) in the ovaries under the conditions of the modeling and subsequent treatment of functional ovarian cysts with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (ant-GnRH). The intensity of IGF-1, LHR, and AR expression in the generative elements of rat ovaries changed under conditions of functional ovarian cysts simulation, as well as during treatment with ant-GnRH. In both experimental groups, the expression levels of the studied markers in preantral follicles and epithelial lining of cysts were found to be related to the number of growing follicles and cysts. A divergence of LHR and AR expression indices and a more pronounced decrease in the number of cystic cavities were observed in the group receiving ant-GnRH. These changes demonstrate a positive effect of ant-GnRH on intra-ovarian regulatory factors and a therapeutic effect in functional ovarian cysts.

Morphofunctional State of the Ovaries in Rats with Experimental Model of Functional Cysts and Their Treatment with Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist.

The morphofunctional features of the ovaries were evaluated in rats with functional ovarian cysts model treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist. Administration of the antagonist significantly (p=0.009) reduced the number of cysts and the growth of follicles in the ovaries. The obtained results attest to a possibility of successful treatment of functional ovarian cysts with gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist.

[Clinical effectiveness and pharmacokinetics of gliflozin from the point of view of individual genetic characteristics: A review].

A review of publications devoted to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms and features of the functioning of genes that affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) is presented. Objective of the study was to reveal information about genes whose polymorphism may affect the effectiveness of SGLT2i. The review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 recommendations, the search for publications was carried out in the PubMed databases (including Medline), Web of Science, as well as Russian scientific electronic libraries eLIBRARY.RU from 1993 to 2022. Polymorphisms in the structure of several genes (SLC5A2, UGT1A9, ABCB1, PNPLA3) have been described that may affect the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus complicated by diseases such as chronic heart failure, chronic kidney disease, or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The information found on the genetic features of the development of the effects of SGLT2i is limited to a description of the differences in their pharmacokinetics. The relevance of currently available pharmacogenetic studies is largely constrained by small sample sizes.

[Structural and functional characteristics of the brain and their role in the development of eating behaviour in obesity: A review].

Obesity is a major public health problem that requires new approaches. Despite all interventions, the behavioural and therapeutic interventions developed have demonstrated limited effectiveness in curbing the obesity epidemic. Findings from imaging studies of the brain suggest the existence of neural vulnerabilities and structural changes that are associated with the development of obesity and eating disorders. This review highlights the clinical relevance of brain neuroimaging research in obese individuals to prevent risky behaviour, early diagnosis, and the development of new safer and more effective treatments.

[Genetic aspects of type 1 glucagon peptide agonists clinical efficacy: A review].

A review of publications devoted to the analysis of genetic polymorphisms of the gene encoding the glucagon-like peptide type 1 receptor and some other genes directly and indirectly involved in the implementation of its physiological action is presented. The aim of the study: to search for information on genes polymorphism that can affect the effectiveness of glucagon-like peptide type 1 agonists. The review was carried out in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 recommendations, the search for publications was based on PubMed databases (including Medline), Web of Science, as well as Russian scientific electronic source eLIBRARY.RU from 1993 to 2022. The several genes polymorphisms (GLP1R, TCF7L2, CNR1, SORCS1, WFS1, PPARD, CTRB1/2) that may affect the course and therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome and obesity, was described. Single nucleotide substitutions in some regions of these genes can both decrease and increase the clinical efficacy of the treatment of diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome with the help of type 1 glucagon-like peptide agonists: exenatide, liraglutide. Data on the role of genetic variations in the structure of the products of these genes in the effectiveness of other type 1 glucacone-like peptide agonists have not been found.

Wound healing activity of aqueous dispersion of fullerene C60 produced by "green technology".

In addition to exhibited antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, fullerene C60 is a promising wound healing agent. An important stage in the production of fullerene-based ointments is the stability of the aqueous fullerene dispersion (AFD) with minimum size of colloidal fullerene aggregates and sufficiently high concentration. To achieve these parameters tangential flow filtration of fullerene C60 was used ("green technology"). As estimated by small-angle neutron scattering and dynamic light scattering purified AFDs with narrow-size distribution nanoclusters have a size of 6 nm and are assembled into agglomerates which reach a size of 150 nm. The ability of the AFD to exhibit regenerative activity was studied using the animal wound model. This study shows for the first time that the fullerene-based composition stimulates the healing of wounds of various origins. We assume that the mechanism of the AFD wound-healing activity is associated with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor and macrophages activity.

[Predictive capability of Cys112Arg single nucleotide polymorphisms of the apolipoprotein E gene in assessing the risk of immediate and early post-traumatic seizures].

This study is aimed at investigating epileptic seizures, one of the consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Immediate and early post-traumatic seizures, as well as late post-traumatic epileptic seizures or post-traumatic epilepsy, can have different pathogenetic bases. The following key risk factors associated with post-traumatic epilepsy are known: duration of unconsciousness, gunshot wounds, intracranial hemorrhage, diffuse axonal injury, prolonged (more than 3 days) post-traumatic amnesia, acute subdural hematoma with surgical evacuation, immediate and early post-traumatic epileptic seizures, fracture of the skull bones. The role of genetic factors in post-traumatic seizures is poorly understood due to the complexity and multiple causal mechanisms. This paper addresses the role of genetic factors in the occurrence and severity of epileptic events in patients with TBI. In particular, we investigated the role of the Cys112Arg single nucleotide polymorphism of the apolipoprotein E gene. Apolipoprotein E is known for its role in the transport and metabolism of lipids and, therefore, the development of cardiovascular diseases; it is also associated with Alzheimer's disease and has recently been studied in the context of association with epilepsy. The study shows an association between this polymorphism and the risk of immediate and early epileptic seizures in patients with severe TBI.

[Body composition in sarcopenia in middle-aged individuals].

Sarcopenia is characterized by a progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, leading to poor outcomes and reduced quality of life. In middle age, the decrease in muscle mass begins to be progressive. Bioimpedancemetry allows diagnosing this condition before the onset of clinical symptoms. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: to evaluate the parameters of body composition in the early diagnosis of sarcopenia in middle-aged people. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The participants were divided into two groups - the main one with sarcopenia - 146 people and the control group - 75 people. The complex of examinations included: neuropsychological testing (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), quality of life questionnaire for patients with sarcopenia (SarQoL), short health assessment form (SF-36)), 4-meter walking speed test, dynamometry and bioimpedancemetry. The results of neuropsychological examination did not differ in the main and control groups. Patients with sarcopenia showed a decrease in muscle strength according to dynamometry. The scores of the walking speed assessment test in the study group were significantly higher than in the control group. The main and control groups had excessive body weight. According to the results of bioimpedanceometry, the main group had increased fat mass, percentage of fat mass, visceral fat area, and fat mass index compared with the control group. Skeletal muscle mass was less in the main group, probable sarcopenia was confirmed by decreased appendicular mass, decreased protein and mineral content was also recorded. There was a more pronounced decrease in cell mass in the main group. In patients with sarcopenia the volume of intracellular and extracellular fluid was less than in the control group. Significant differences were considered at p<0.05. CONCLUSIONS: the introduction of bioimpedancemetry and dynamometry into early screening for muscle mass reduction will allow timely start of therapeutic and preventive measures even in middle age, which will lead to a decrease in the progression of sarcopenia in the elderly, as well as improve the quality of life.

[Problems associated with effective pharmacotherapy of the elderly patients (geriatrics): A review].

The worlds older population is growing dramatically. At the same time, ensuring an appropriate high standard of living for the elderly by reducing of morbidity and disability of geriatric patients is one of the main objectives of the modern healthcare system. However, changes associated with body aging necessitate application of novel approaches to the correction of pharmacotherapy and usage of specialized dosage forms. Such medicinal products provide both an appropriate therapeutic effect and facilitate their use. Presented review considers several features of pharmacotherapy of geriatric patients.

[Modern extemporaneous formulations in the geriatric care management: current opportunities and future challenges. A review].

Age-associated disorders, including cognitive functions, that often occur in geriatric patients, necessitate the use of novel approaches to provide appropriate medical care, pharmacoprophylaxis and pharmacotherapy among them. At the same time, an important objective of the national healthcare system is not only stimulating of pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies to expand the range of medicines intended for elderly patients, but also increasing availability of medicinal products, including the integration of extemporaneous formulations into clinical practice. Presented review considers several features of the regulation of the use of extemporaneous formulations in the treatment of geriatric patients. Examples of prescriptions that are used in Russian medical practice and are of the greatest interest in the treatment of elderly patients are also presented.

[Cerebral perfusion and tractography in obese children]. / Rezul'taty izucheniya tserebral'noi perfuzii i traktografii u detei s ozhireniem.

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship of the structure of the white matter of the brain, neurovascularization and cognitive functions in obese children and adolescents. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 64 obese patients, aged 12-17 years, and 54 children without excess body weight. A general clinical examination, neuropsychological testing (the Raven's test with the calculation of IQ, MoCA, the Rey 15-Item Memory Test (RMT), 1 and 2), magnetic resonance imaging (MR) tractography and contrast-free perfusion of the brain were conducted. RESULTS: Obese children and adolescents had both a decrease in scores on MoCA and the Raven's test, and in terms of IQ, while according to RMT-1, there were significant differences in the two groups, and in RMT-2 the results were comparable. Perfusion analysis showed a decrease in vascularization in the white matter area of the occipital lobe on the left and its increase in the temporal lobe area also on the left. When assessing the white matter according to MR tractography, a decrease in fractional anisotropy was noted in the area of the hook-shaped beam on the right and left, anterior and posterior commissural tracts. These changes were correlated with neuropsychological results. CONCLUSION: In obese children and adolescents, there was a destruction of the integrity of the white matter and neurovascularization of the brain associated with a deficit of cognitive functions.

[Blood pressure variability and brain neuroimaging in patients with type 2 diabetes]. / Variabel'nost' arterial'nogo davleniya i dannye neirovizualizatsii golovnogo mozga u patsientov s sakharnym diabetom 2-go tipa.

OBJECTIVE: To analyse a role of BP (blood pressure) variability in shaping neuroplasticity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study enrolled 100 patients with type 2 DM divided according to the presence of cognitive impairment (CI) and 25 control subjects. Biochemical blood count, plasma osteopontin, 24-hour self-blood pressure monitoring (SBPM) and brain MRI were assessed. RESULTS: Patients with type 2 DM and CI had higher body mass index as well as glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucose, alanine aminotransferase, osteopontin and hyperlipidemia (p≤0.05). There was a significant difference in all standard indices, patients with type 2 DM were classified as «non-dipper¼, and there were significantly higher values of the index of time and area of stay in the state of suprathreshold BP and BP variability at night, as well as the risk of latent arterial hypertension in CI. Neuroimaging assessment revealed decreased blood flow according to contrast and non-contrast perfusion in all parameters in cortical (especially the frontal lobe) and subcortical structures (predominantly in the shell region), and was associated with SMAD parameters. Mean systolic and diastolic BP during the day and night, as well as the variability index, also influenced the integrity between cortico-spinal tract, hook, inferior longitudinal and arcuate fascicles. The same parameters altered hippocampal metabolism in terms of N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/choline (Cho), NAA/creatine (Cr), Cho/Cr ratios. CONCLUSION: In patients with type 2 DM, BP variability contributes to CI through a proinflammatory mechanism (osteopontin) leading to brain neuroimaging abnormalities.

[Blood pressure variability and neuroplasticity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus]. / Variabel'nost' arterial'nogo davleniya i neiroplastichnost' u bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom 2-go tipa.

OBJECTIVE: Analysis of the role of blood pressure (BP) variability in the formation of neuroplasticity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). MATERIAL AND METHODS: 100 patients with type 2 DM were examined, which were divided into groups depending on the presence of cognitive impairment (CI), the control group consisted of 25 people. All examined patients underwent a clinical examination, a standard set of biochemical blood tests, plasma osteopontin levels, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) for 24-26 h MRI of the brain (dynamic contrast and arterial spin marks, proton spectroscopy, tractography). RESULTS: Patients with type 2 diabetes and CI had higher body mass index, blood levels of glycated hemoglobin, glucose, alanine aminotransferase, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, total cholesterol, osteopontin, and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (p≤0.05). The level of osteopontin was higher in patients with overweight, hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, and in patients with CI in patients with BP variability. When assessing 24-hour blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), a significant difference was found in all standard indicators, while patients with type 2 diabetes were referred to as «non-dipper¼, in the presence of CI they noted significantly higher values of the index of time and area of stay in the suprathreshold state. BP and variability in SBP and DBP at night, as well as the risk of occult hypertension. A decrease in cerebral blood flow was revealed according to the data of contrast and non-contrast assessment of perfusion in cortical (especially in the frontal lobe) and subcortical (mainly in the putamen) structures, associated with changes in ABPM parameters. Mean SBP and DBP day and night, as well as the index of BP variability, also affect the integrity of the corticospinal, uncinate, lower longitudinal tracts, and arcuate fasciculus. The same parameters change the metabolism of the hippocampus in terms of choline (Cho), creatine (Cr), creatine phosphate (Cr2), as well as the ratio of N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/Cho, NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr. CONCLUSION: In patients with type 2 diabetes, BP variability contributes to the formation of CI through a pro-inflammatory mechanism (osteopontin), leading to impaired brain vascularization in general, white matter structure, and hippocampal metabolism.

Analysis of the TREC and KREC Levels in the Dried Blood Spots of Healthy Newborns with Different Gestational Ages and Weights.

Inborn errors of immunity can be detected by evaluating circular DNA (cDNA) fragments of T- and B-cell receptors (TREC and KREC) resulting from the receptor gene rearrangement in T and B cells. Maturation and activation of the fetal immune system is known to proceed gradually according to the gestational age, which highlights the importance of the immune status in premature infants at different gestational ages. In this article, we evaluated TREC and KREC levels in infants of various gestational ages by real-time PCR with taking into account the newborn's weight and sex. The 95% confidence intervals for TREC and KREC levels (expressed in the number of cDNA copies per 105 cells) were established for different gestational groups. The importance of studying immune system development in newborns is informed by the discovered dependence of the level of naive markers on the gestational stage in the early neonatal period.

Clinical and prognostic significance of the soluble form of the VISTA immunity control point in patients with primary bone tumors.

The data of a comparative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of the content of the soluble form of the immunity checkpoint VISTA in the blood serum of 30 healthy donors (control group), 79 patients with primary malignant (osteosarcoma - 30, chondrosarcoma - 31, chordoma - 14) and 14 borderline (giant cell tumor) bone neoplasms are presented. In the general group of patients with malignant neoplasms of bones, the median sVISTA content in blood serum is statistically significant lower than in the control (p = 0.040). In patients with bone tumors and healthy donors over 18 years of age, there was a decrease with age in serum sVISTA levels. There were no significant differences in sVISTA concentration between patients with osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma and healthy donors. Only in patients with chordoma were sVISTA levels statistically significant lower than in controls (p = 0.013). In the groups of patients with chondrosarcoma and osteosarcoma of the bone, there were no significant associations between the serum sVISTA content and the main clinical and morphological characteristics of the disease. In patients with osteosarcoma, no relationship was found between sVISTA levels and overall survival rates, while in patients with bone chondrosarcoma, there was a tendency towards a favorable prognosis with a high content of the marker in the blood serum.

Soluble B7-H3 in Ovarian Cancer and Its Predictive Value.

The content of the soluble form of protein of the key point of immunity B7-H3 (sB7-H3) in the blood plasma of 75 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer before treatment was measured by ELISA. It is known that B7-H3 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily (B7 molecule family) and is involved in the regulation of the immune response mediated by T cells. The sB7-H3 concentration correlated with the clinical and morphological parameters of ovarian cancer. The content of sB7-H3 was higher at the later stages of the disease, in the presence of ascites, and in patients with poorly differentiated ovarian cancer. It was revealed that increased plasma content of sB7-H3 in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer is associated with unfavorable prognosis of the disease. Therefore, sB7-H3 can be used as a prognostic marker in ovarian cancer patients.

Soluble forms of immune checkpoints in ovarian cancer.

The data of a complex immunoassay comparative study of the content of soluble forms of sPD-1, sPD-L1, sNKG2D, sNKG2DL1, sB7-H3 and sHLA-G in the blood plasma of 75 patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and 20 healthy donors of the control group are presented. The diagnostic significance of the studied proteins was determined. The study showed that the profile of soluble immunity checkpoints differs when malignant ovarian pathology occurs. There was a statistically significant decrease in the content of sPD-L1, sNKG2DL1, sB7-H3, and sHLA-G in the blood plasma of patients compared with the control group. Differences were found in the content of the studied markers depending on the histological type of tumors. Correlations between the soluble forms of some of the studied proteins are shown, indicating the presence of independent mechanisms of immune regulation in ovarian cancer, which may explain the insufficient effectiveness of the existing immunotherapy for this type of tumor. The results obtained will undoubtedly facilitate the development of new effective methods for the diagnostics and therapy of ovarian cancer.

[Neural networks in the predictive diagnosis of cognitive impairment in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus].

BACKGROUND: Cognitive dysfunction, including mild cognitive impairment and dementia, is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) that affects patient well-being and disease management. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-studies have shown varying degrees of cortical atrophy, cerebral infarcts, and deep white matter lesions. To explain the relationship between DM and cognitive decline, several hypotheses have been proposed, based on the variability of glycemia leading to morphometric changes in the brain. The ability to predict cognitive decline even before its clinical development will allow the early prevention of this pathology, as well as to predict the course of the existing pathology and to adjust medication regimens. AIM: To create a computer neural network model for predicting the development of cognitive impairment in DM on the basis of brain neuroimaging techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was performed in accordance with the standards of good clinical practice; the protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee. The study included 85 patients with type 1 diabetes and 95 patients with type 2 diabetes, who were divided into a group of patients with normal cognitive function and a group with cognitive impairment. The patient groups were comparable in age and duration of disease. Cognitive impairment was screened using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale. Data for glycemic variability were obtained using continuous glucose monitoring (iPro2, Libre). A standard MRI scan of the brain was performed axially, sagittally, and coronally on a Signa Creator E, GE Healthcare, 1.5 Tesla, China. For MRI data processing we used Free Surfer program (USA) for analysis and visualization of structural and functional neuroimaging data from cross-sectional or longitudinal studies, and for segmentation we used Recon-all batch program directly. All statistical analyses and data processing were performed using Statistica Statsofi software (version 10) on Windows 7/XP Pro operating systems. The IBM WATSON cognitive system was used to build a neural network model. RESULTS: As a result of the study, cognitive impairment in DM type 1was predominantly of mild degree 36.9% (n=24) and moderate degree 30.76% (n=20), and in DM type 2 mild degree 37% (n=30), moderate degree 49.4% (n=40) and severe degree 13.6% (n=11). Cognitive functions in DM type 1 were impaired in memory and attention, whereas in DM type 2 they were also impaired in tasks of visual-constructive skills, fluency, and abstraction (p0.001). The analysis revealed differences in glycemic variability indices in patients with type 1 and type 2 DM and cognitive impairment. Standard MRI of the brain recorded the presence of white and gray matter changes (gliosis and leukoareosis). General and regional cerebral atrophy is characteristic of type 1 and type 2 DM, which is associated with dysglycemia. When building neural network models for type 1 diabetes, the parameters of decreased volumes of the brain regions determine the development of cognitive impairment by 93.5%, whereas additionally, the coefficients of glycemic variability by 98.5%. The same peculiarity was revealed in type 2 DM 95.3% and 97.9%, respectively. CONCLUSION: In DM type 1 and type 2 with cognitive impairment, elevated coefficients of glycemic variability are more frequently recorded. This publication describes laboratory and instrumental parameters as potential diagnostic options for effective management of DM and prevention of cognitive impairment. Neural network models using glycemic variability coefficients and MR morphometry allow for predictive diagnosis of cognitive disorders in both types of diabetes.
