This is a cross-sectional study of adults with diabetes to determine the association of cystatin C with bone mineral density(BMD). All the inpatient in the department of endocrinology and metabolism in the fifth affiliated hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University will be screened for 5 to 6 months. Those
Background:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main cause of mortality in developed countries; its prevention is challenging. Advances in molecular imaging of the atherosclerotic plaque enhanced the study of its pathophysiology, including the positron emission tomography with computed tomography
Previous efforts to prevent or reverse new-onset T1DM have been fraught with disappointment, despite considerable promise. The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is a poor surrogate of human T1DM. Over 463 different treatments have been shown to prevent or reverse autoimmune diabetes in these mice.
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a well-studied autoimmune disease resulting in insulin deficiency due to selective β-cell loss. Environmental and genetics factors seem to have a complex interplay in genetically susceptible individuals leading to T1DM development.
Epigenetics is a new field of
BACKGROUND:
1. Vitamin D Deficiency
Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States and worldwide, including in infants and children 1,2. Moderate to severe deficiency in children can manifest as rickets, a skeletal disease which results from a failure of mineralization of developing bones and
1.1. Pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes mellitusType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an metabolic disease with insulin deficiency and a dysfunctional release of counter regulatory hormone glucagon. In the pathogenesis of T1DM autoantibodies to insulin (IAA), Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody
The primary defect in autoimmune Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) involves the infiltration of the pancreatic islet cells by T-lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells, and consequent loss of beta cells. At the onset of T1DM more than 70% of the beta cells are destroyed, whereas the residual
Vitamin D has a range of biological effects of public health relevance (Prentice et al, 2008). Besides its well known role in mineralization of bone and teeth, vitamin D also play important roles in metabolic functions, the pathogenesis of certain diseases, e.g. type 1 diabetes, celiac disease,
Patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within the previous 12 months will be recruited into this study.Hematopoietic stem cells were mobilized with cyclophosphamide (CY, 2.0g/m2) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (10 μg/kg per day) and then collected from peripheral blood by leukapheresis
Background:
Insufficient circulating levels of vitamin D is a common problem in both developed and developing countries; it is estimated that over one billion people have vitamin D deficiency at this time. In children, vitamin D deficiency leads to nutritional rickets, which is considered the most
New onset type 1 DM patients who present at William Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak or to the Pediatric Endocrine Clinic will be approached about the study at their presentation and time will be given for the patient and family to discuss and ask questions regarding the study. Patients will then be
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is caused by autoimmune and autoinflammatory destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Historically, treatment for this condition has consisted of insulin replacement therapy and dietary modification. Recent studies have
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Age≥18 years and less than 75 years
2. Essential hypertension patients
3. Sedentary systolic blood pressure≥140mmHg and less than 180mmHg, and/or sedentary diastolic blood pressure≥90mmHg and less than 110mmHg
4. Reproductive women agree to take a reliable contraception
Diabetic retinopathy is a major cause of visual impairment in the United States. Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a manifestation of diabetic retinopathy that produces loss of central vision. Data from the Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy (WESDR) estimate that after 15 years of
Autoimmune diseases are the outcome of dysregulated immune responses to self-antigens. Type 1 diabetes (T1D), previously known as insulin-dependent or juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system reacts against and destroys the insulin-producing β cells in the islets
