Coronary artery calcification is a predictor of coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular events, which are the main cause of death in type 2 diabetes patients, may be preventable by addressing risk factors associated with coronary artery calcification. We examined the relationships between coronary artery calcification, lipid profiles, and apolipoprotein levels. Methods: We calculated the coronary calcium scores (CCS) of 254 subjects with type 2 diabetes (113 males, 141 females) via multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT). Height, body weight, blood pressure, HbA1c, c-peptide, lipid profile and apolipoprotein were assessed concurrently. Results: In patients with type 2 diabetes, Agatston score and apolipoprotein A-1 were significantly negatively correlated in both males and females (males P = 0.015, females P = 0.021). The negative correlation between Agatston score and apolipoprotein A-1 was retained for the entire patient sample after adjustments for age and sex (P = 0.022). Stepwise multiple regression anaylses with the Agatston score as the dependent variable indicate that apolipoprotein A-1 is a independent predictor (β coefficient = -0.047, 95%CI = -0.072 ~ -0.021, P < 0.001) of coronary artery calcification. Conclusion: The results of our study suggest that apolipoprotein A-1 is a useful independent indicator of coronary artery calcification.

The combination exercise intensity that a patient is capable of is limited by his or her aerobic capacity and one repetition maximum (1RM). We investigated the relationships between 1RM, aerobic exercise capacity and body mass index in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A total of 177 (men: 85, women: 92) diabetic subjects with HbA1c ≤ 10% were enrolled. Muscle strength and 1RM were assessed bychest press (upper body) and l eg press (lower body). We assessed aerobic capacity by VO2max and muscle mass by bioimpedance analysis. Results: There was no correlation between 1RM and VO 2max in type 2 diabetic patients (upper: P = 0.122, lower: P = 0.138 for men, and upper: P = 0.952, lower: P = 0.570 for women). However, 1RM was significantly correlated with muscle mass both in men and women (upper: r = 0.493, P < 0.001, r = 0.315, P = 0.002 lower: r = 0.437 P < 0.001, r = 0.307, P =0.003, respectively). There was also a significant correlation between 1RM and BMI. In obese male subjects with BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 , we observed a significant correlation between muscle mass and BMI (r = 0.374, P = 0.032), but this correlation was not observed in women. Conclusion: Clinicians treating Korean type 2 diabetic subjects should recommend resistance exercise to their patients. In particular, obese women with diabetes may receive greater benefits by increasing muscle mass through resistance exercises.

Ku 등의 연구에서 운동 후 복부와 피하 지방이 감소하였 음에도 불구하고 싸이토카인의 변화나 내피세포 기능의 호 전은 관찰되지 않았다. 운동에 의한 인슐린감수성 개선과 혈당 감소가 체지방 감소에서도 가능하지만 실제로 운동의 효과는 근육세포로 포도당 유입의 증가가 많은 부분을 차지 한다 . 따라서 인슐린감수성 호전이 근육량의 변화를 보정 할 경우 어떤 결과를 보이는지도 고려해야 할 것이다. 고찰에서 지적한 바와 같이 이전 연구에서 운동 후에 hs-CRP나 IL-6 같은 염증 매개성 물질의 수치가 단기간 운 동 후에는 큰 변화가 없으나 12개월 간 중강도 운동 후 감 소했다는 보고가 있다. 따라서 장기간의 운동이 인슐린저항 성에 관련된 염증 매개성 물질을 감소시키는지에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하리라 생각한다.

Endocrine cells within the gut epithelium (enteroendocrine cells) and pancreatic β cells share similar pathways of differentiation during embryonic development. In particular, K-cells that secrete glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) have been shown to express many of the key proteins found in β cells. Therefore, we hypothesize that K-cells can be transdifferentiated into β cells because both cells have remarkable similarities in their embryonic development and cellular phenotypes. Methods: K-cells were purified from heterogeneous STC-1 cells originati ng from an endocrine tumor of a mouse intestine. In addition, a K-cell subclone expressing stable Nkx6.1, called “Kn4-cells,” was successfully obtained. In vitro differentiation of K-cells or Kn4-cells into β cells was completed after exendin-4 treatment and serum deprivation. The expressions of insulin mRNA and prot ein were examined by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry. The interacellular insulin content was also measured. Results: K-cells were found to express glucokinase and GIP as assessed by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. RT-PCR showed that K-cells also expressed Pdx-1, Neur oD1/Beta2, and MafA, but not Nkx6.1. After exendin-4 treatment and serum deprivation, insulin mRNA and insulin or C-peptide were clearly detected in Kn4-cells. The intracellular insulin content was al so increased significantly in these cells. Conclusion: K-cells are an attractive potential source of insulin-producing cells for treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, more experiments are necessary to optimize a strategy for converting K-cells into β cells.

Endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and low-grade inflammation are key features in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis.

Forkhead box-containing protein of the O subfamily-1 (FoxO1) regulates energy homeostasis by regulating energy expenditure and food intake as well as mediating insulin and leptin signals in the hypothalamus. To identify the mediator of diabetic hyperphagia, we examined the effects of insulin or leptin on hypothalamic FoxO1 expression in a diabetic animal model. Methods: Diabetes was induced in mice (C57BL/6) by intraperitoneal administration of streptozotocin (200 mg/kg). Stainless steel cannula w as implanted into the lateral ventricle of the brain in each mouse. After three weeks, the mice were administered saline, insulin or leptin via intracerebroventricular (ICV) route. The medial hypothalamus was isolated to evaluate the mRNA expressions of FoxO1 and neuropeptides. Results: Streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice exhibited significant elevations of blood glucose and food intake and significantly low levels of serum insulin and leptin . The levels of hypothalamic FoxO1 mRNA were significantly increased in diabetic mice. The hypothalamic expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY) mRNA was increased, but the expression of preproopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA was decreased in diabetic mice. ICV administration of insulin or leptin attenuated the upregula tion of hypothalamic FoxO1 mRNA, and resulted in downregulation of NP Y mRNA and upregulation of POMC mRNA in diabetic mice. Conclusion: We observed that the expression of hypothalamic FoxO1 mRNA was increased in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice, and that it was significantly attenuated by central administration of insulin or leptin. These results suggest that hypothalamic FoxO1 is the direct mediator of diabetic hyperphagia.

Diabetes education based on effective patient-provider communication pla ys a major role in treatment of type 2 DM. In this study, as an effort for making better communication, we examined how older patients with type 2 DM report their healthcare goals, what factors influencing their goals and control their self-care behaviors. Methods: Subjects were thirty three patients with type 2 DM aged 65 and older. An interviewer conducted one-on-one interviews using open questions about 5 categories: concept of “health,” purpose of DM management, causes of DM, practical aspects of DM management, and decision making related to DM management. Interviews were audiotaped, transcribed and two investigators independently reviewed. Results: The majority of our sample (79%) expressed their management go als in a socio-functional language, rather than medical issues. They defined “Healthy” as a status of keeping daily life without any symptoms. Many subjects has not altered their diet habits (33%) and making no efforts to exercise (64%) due to physical and psychological limitations though almost all (91%) older patients recognized the importance of diet control and exercise. Conclusion: When introduce the goal of DM management, it would be better to use socio-functional terms in diabetes education of elderly patients with type 2 DM. To improve the self-care behaviors, it is essential to make efforts not only to give knowledge but also to find their physical and psychological limitations related to poor performances.
