Objectives: Diabetes mellitus is associated with a greater likelihood of developing certain oral mucosal disorders. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of oral mucosal lesions (OMLs) in patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) and to investigate the association of such lesions with metabolic control of the disease.
Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 391 patients with DM2 and 391 non-diabetic control subjects. Demographic information and data on the duration and type of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) values, medical history, and current use of medication were obtained from medical records. Detailed oral examination was performed in accordance with international criteria.
Results: The prevalence of OMLs was significantly higher among diabetic patients (45.5%) than among control subjects (38.4%) (P = 0.042). Patients with diabetes had a higher prevalence of geographic tongue (GT) (P = 0.017), denture stomatitis (P = 0.018), and angular cheilitis (P = 0.006) than controls. Overall, diabetic patients with poor metabolic control had a significantly higher prevalence of OMLs and xerostomia than patients with moderately and well-controlled disease (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: The prevalence of OMLs was significantly higher in diabetic patients than in control subjects. Higher occurrence of OMLs was significantly associated with poor metabolic control.

To explore the possible new mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) based on the islet inflammatory response. Islet macrophages, pancreatic adipose cells and islet β cells all participate in the pathogenesis of T2DM, and the three could form a network interaction. Acupuncture could regulate the functional phenotype of islet macrophages, improve the ectopic deposition of pancreatic adipose and repair the function of islet β cells, and play a unique advantage of overall regulation. It is suggested that acupuncture can be a potential treatment strategy for T2DM.

4.Recent progress in studies of factors that elicit pancreatic β-cell expansion.
Protein & Cell 2015;6(2):81-87
The loss of or decreased functional pancreatic β-cell is a major cause of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Previous studies have shown that adult β-cells can maintain their ability for a low level of turnover through replication and neogenesis. Thus, a strategy to prevent and treat diabetes would be to enhance the ability of β-cells to increase the mass of functional β-cells. Consequently, much effort has been devoted to identify factors that can effectively induce β-cell expansion. This review focuses on recent reports on small molecules and protein factors that have been shown to promote β-cell expansion.

OBJECTIVE: It was suggested that the cause of microalbuminuria is heterogeneous in NIDDM. However, only a few studies are available that investigated the renal pathology in NIDDM patients with microalbuminuria. This study was undertaken to evaluate renal pathology in Korean NIDDM patients with microalbuminuria. METHODS: Fifty NIDDM patients with microalbuminuria and without retinopathy were undertaken renal biopsy. Renal pathologic findings were classified as follows: group A, near-normal finding; group B, typical diabetic nephropathology; group C, atypical patterns of renal injury (mild glomerular change with disproportionally severe tubulointerstitial lesion, arteriolar hyalinosis or global glomerular sclerosis); group D, non-diabetic renal lesion. RESULTS: Seventeen patients were classified into group A, 19 into group B and 8 into group C. Six patients had non-diabetic renal lesions and they were all confirmed to be IgA nephropathy. Fasting blood sugar and GFR were significantly higher in group B than in group A and group C respectively, and systolic blood pressure was higher in group C than in group A. CONCLUSION: Renal pathology in microalbuminuric NIDDM patients without retinopathy was heterogeneous. This may explain heterogeneous clinical meaning of microalbuminuria in NIDDM.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the early pathological changes of KKAy mouse model of type 2 diabetes.
METHODSFive male KKAy mice and six C57BL mice each were studied at the age of 8, 16, 20 and 24 weeks. With each mouse a 24-hour urine collection was made for the tests of proteinuria. Plasma insulin, lipids, serum creatinine and urea were also measured. Renal tissues were observed to assess glomerular and tubulointerstial pathology.
RESULTSThe KKAy mice developed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and obesity by 16 weeks of age (P < 0.01). The proteinuria increased with the increasing of age (P < 0.005), but there were no changes in control. The glomerular hypertrophy was observed in KKAy mice at the age of 16 weeks. Computer map analysis system (CMIAS) indicated the expansion of mesangial matrix in KKAy mice with ageing. There was significant tubular dilation, accompanied with focal tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis. On electron microscopy, GBM undergo progressive thickening (P < 0.01), accompanied with podocytes fusion and increasing of proteinuria.
CONCLUSIONSKKAy mice developed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia and obesity after 16 weeks, with proteinuria, mesangial matrix accumulation, GBM thickening and tubular dilation. It was considered a good animal model for the early pathology changes of DN.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the changes of blood biochemical index and the pathological changes of myocardium and kidney in type 2 diabetic mouse at different time points, which can provide the basis for the selection of type 2 diabetic modeling time for later research.
METHODS:
After 6 weeks of feeding with high-fat diet, 24 healthy male ICR mice were injected with streptozocin (STZ, 30 mg/kg) intraperitoneally for 5 days to establish diabetic models. After 9 days, a random blood glucose ≥ 11.1 mmol / L was measured as diabetic mice. 4, 6 and 8 weeks after successfully preparing the diabetic mouse, 8 diabetic mice (a group)would be sacrificed each time. Then the biochemical and pathological conditions were analyzed: ① the indexes of heart and kidney were calculated. ②the serum levels of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine (Cr) and blood urine nitrogen (BUN) were determined. ③ Histopathological changes of myocardium and renal tissues were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Masson staining was used to observe the fibrosis of myocardium. PAS staining was adopted to observe the pathological changes of renal tissue. In addition, 8 ICR male mice were taken as the control group.
RESULTS:
At the 4, 6 and 8 week, cardiac organ coefficient, the values of LDH and CK were all increased compared with the control group. Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and myocardial fibrosis could be observed. Renal organ coefficient, the values of Cr and BUN were increased. Glomerular hypertrophy, basement membrane thickening and atrophy could be perceived.
CONCLUSION
At the 6 week, related biochemical and pathological changes in diabetic mice were comparatively obvious and breeding time was relatively short. Thus, 6 weeks after the preparation of the diabetic mice would be the optimal time for type 2 diabetes mellitus modeling, proper for inventions of drugs and other research purposes including pathology, physiology, biochemistry, etc.

Erectile dysfunction is common complication of diabetes mellitus. The incidence of diabetes mellitus induced erectile dysfunction (DMED) is 20% - 75%. DMED appears to be due to vascular-neuropathic and corpus cavernosum smooth muscular damage. To control blood glucose, blood pressure and blood lipids is the basis of DMED therapy. In 50% of the patients with DMED, the phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors is effective, while intracavernous pharmacotherapy is effective for more than 90%. Penile prosthesis implantation continues to be the treatment of choice in case of other therapy failure.
