At least 50% of diabetic patients will develop a form of diabetic neuropathy within 25 years after diagnosis.

In addition, the signs and symptoms of diabetic neuropathy are often intractable. Therefore, the development of effective treatments for diabetic neuropathy is urgently needed. Thus, animal models have been developed to investigate the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy and evaluate potential therapeutic agents. However, no model is perfect and no one would suggest that diabetic rats can replicate the human condition fully.

Glucose availability and visual function are related. Human positron emission tomography studies indicate increased blood flow and glucose metabolic rate in primary visual cortex during stimulation, with retinotopic distribution. Retinal electrophysiology covaries with glucose concentration in in vitro models as well as in humans, at comparable concentrations in the physiological range. The interactions between retinal electrophysiology (notably the electroretinogram b-wave) and glucose metabolism appear more stringent than for cortical evoked responses. K-channels regulated by intracellular ATP are thought to link neuron excitability (and electrophysiological activity) on the metabolic state. High-affinity sulphonylurea binding sites for K-channels are widely distributed in brain.

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes and occurs in approximately 50% of diabetic patients over time. Clinical trials have proven that hyperglycemia almost certainly conditions the development of DN. Despite this fact, we still do not understand the mechanism(s) underlying DN. Several possible etiologies have been proposed including altered metabolism of polyol, lipids, or amino acids, vascular insufficiency, increased superoxide-induced free radical formation, impaired axonal transport or reduced neurotrophism. Accumulating evidence suggests that these defects are likely interrelated and that their interaction(s) within the diabetic milieu are responsible for the development and progression of DN.

Friedreich ataxia. 弗里德里希攻击。

{"title":"Friedreich ataxia.","authors":"W G Johnson","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Friedreich ataxia is an autosomal recessive ataxia with onset usually before puberty whose characteristic clinical features include progressive ataxia of gait and limbs, dysarthria, loss of joint position and vibratory sense, absent knee and ankle jerks, and Babinski signs. Foot deformity, scoliosis, diabetes mellitus, and cardiac involvement are common and characteristic. Patients survive until about age 30 years although longer survivals occur. A later onset, more slowly progressive form seems to be an allelic variant. The basic process seems to be a dying-back of neuronal processes. Using linkage mapping techniques, the classical form of Friedreich ataxia has been localized to 9q13-q21, a region on the long arm of chromosome 9. Haplotype analysis, analysis of recombinants, and physical mapping techniques, including construction of a YAC contig, have narrowed the interval for the Friedreich ataxia gene, FRDA, to a few hundred thousand base pairs. Candidate genes in the region are being studied by techniques of mutation analysis. It is likely that the Freidreich ataxia gene will be cloned soon. A condition resembling Friedreich ataxia with decreased vitamin E levels has been localized to chromosome 8 and is discussed elsewhere.</p>","PeriodicalId":79395,"journal":{"name":"Clinical neuroscience (New York, N.Y.)","volume":"3 1","pages":"33-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18618937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
