    Abstract The nonenzymatic protein glycation and the subsequent formation of advanced glycation end products is a process involved in the long-term complications of diabetes. In this context the collaboration, in the last 30 years, between my research group, operating in the DPT of Medicine of Padua University, and the mass spectrometric group, operating in CNR of Padua, are described and discussed. The development of new mass spectrometric techniques has allowed investigation more indepth, starting from the applications on small molecules responsible for the browning observed in the interactions between sugars and proteins, and growing up to intact proteins as albumin, immunoglobulin, hemoglobin, and so forth, with the determination of their glycation levels as well as their glycation sites. This study has helped to clarify the role of advanced glycation end products in the pathogenesis of the chronic complications of diabetes. In particular the results obtained in diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiovascular disease and in placenta samples of patients affected by gestational diabetes are described in this review.

    Abstract Background: Diabetic kidney disease affects approximately 40% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with an increased risk of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and cardiovascular (CV) events, as well as increased mortality. Among the indicators of decline in renal function, the eGFR slope is acquiring an increasing clinical interest. The aim of this study was to evaluate, through a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis of the collected data, the association between the decline of the eGFR slope, chronic complications, and mortality of T2DM patients, in order to understand whether or not the eGFR slope can be defined as a predictive indicator of complications in T2DM.
    Methods: The review and meta-analysis were conducted according to PRISMA guidelines considering published studies on patients with T2DM. A scientific literature search was carried out on PubMed from January 2003 to April 2023 with subsequent selection of scientific papers according to the inclusion criteria.
    Results: Fifteen studies were selected for meta-analysis. Risk analysis as hazard ratio (HR) indicated a significant association between all events considered (all-cause mortality, CV events, ESKD, and microvascular events) for patients with steeper eGFR slope decline than subjects with stable eGFR. Calculated HRs (with 95% CI) were as follows: for all-cause mortality, 2.31 (1.70-3.15); for CV events, 1.73 (1.43-2.08); for ESKD, 1.54 (1.45-1.64); and for microvascular events, 2.07 (1.57-2.73). Overall HR was 1.82 (1.72-1.92).
    Conclusions: An association between rapid eGFR decline and chronic diabetes complications was demonstrated, suggesting that eGFR slope variability significantly impacts the course of T2DM and that eGFR slope should be considered as a predictor for chronic complications in patients with T2DM. According to the obtained results, the therapeutic management of the patient with diabetes should not focus exclusively on glycaemic control, and particular attention should be paid to preserve renal function.

    Abstract Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a glucose intolerance developing or first recognized during pregnancy, leads to a series of short- and long-term maternal and fetal complications, somehow related to placenta structural and functional changes. The focus and the objective of the present review are to discuss the results which can be obtained by different mass spectrometric approaches in the study of placenta protein profile. Thus, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) has been applied on placenta omogenates before and after one-dimensional electrophoretic separation, followed by tryptic digestion. MALDI imaging was used for direct investigation on the placenta tissue (both maternal and fetal sides). The results showed that some differences among the absolute abundances of some proteins are present for placenta samples from GDM patients. The majority of investigations were carried out by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2DE) followed by LC-MS/MS or, directly by the label-free LC-MS

    Abstract Obesity is increasing in all age groups and, consequently, its incidence has also risen in women of childbearing age. In Europe, the prevalence of maternal obesity varies from 7 to 25%. Maternal obesity is associated with short- and long-term adverse outcomes for both mother and child, and it is necessary to reduce weight before gestation to improve maternal and fetal outcomes. Bariatric surgery is an important treatment option for people with severe obesity. The number of surgeries performed is increasing worldwide, even in women of reproductive age, because improving fertility is a motivating factor. Nutritional intake after bariatric surgery is dependent on type of surgery, presence of symptoms, such as pain and nausea, and complications. There is also a risk of malnutrition after bariatric surgery. In particular, during pregnancy following bariatric surgery, there is a risk of protein and calorie malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies due to increased maternal and fetal demand and possibly due to reduction of food intake (nausea, vomiting). As such, it is necessary to monitor and manage nutrition in pregnancy following bariatric surgery with a multidisciplinary team to avoid any deficiencies in each trimester and to ensure the well-being of the mother and fetus.

    Abstract Introduction: When Italy was placed under lockdown to contain the COVID-19 pandemic from 9 March to 18 May 2020, alternative approaches to delivering care-such as telemedicine-were promoted for patients with chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to analyze patients' perception of, and satisfaction with the telehealth services offered during the COVID-19 emergency at an outpatient diabetes care unit in Italy.
    Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 250 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who regularly attended our diabetes care unit. Data were collected by means of telephone interviews, asking patients how they perceived the telehealth services, and their satisfaction with the televisit and computer-based care. A standardized questionnaire was administered: there were questions answered using a five-point Likert scale, and one open-ended question. Patients' demographic, anthropometric and biological data were collected from their medical records. Correlations between patients' characteristics, their perception of telemedicine, and their satisfaction with the televisit were examined. Spearman's rank-order correlation coefficient ρ (rho) and Kendall's rank correlation coefficient τ (tau) were used as nonparametric measures of the strength of the association between the scores obtained for the two ordinal variables, Perception and Satisfaction, and between other clinical parameters. Principal component analysis (PCA) was also used to assess overall links between the variables.
    Results: Almost half of the interviewees expressed a strongly positive perception of the medical services received, and more than 60% were very satisfied with the telehealth service provided during the COVID-19 emergency. There was a strong correlation between patients' perception and satisfaction ratings (p<0.0001). Duration of disease showed a significant positive correlation with patients' satisfaction with their medical care. By means of PCA, it was found that BMI correlated inversely with both perception and satisfaction. Following a qualitative analysis of patients' answers to the open-ended question, contact with their specialist was important to them: it was reassuring and a source of scientifically correct information about their disease and the association between COVID-19 and diabetes.
    Conclusions: Based on our telephone interviews, patients appreciated the telehealth approach and were satisfied with it, regardless of the characteristics of their disease. Telemedicine proved essential to avoid interrupting the continuity of care, and therefore had not only clinical, but also psycho-social repercussions.

    Abstract Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate, by means of a meta-analysis approach, whether new available data, appeared on qualified literature, can support the effectiveness of an association of HbA1c variability with the risk of macro- and/or micro-vascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
    Methods: The meta-analysis was conducted according to PRISMA Statement guidelines and considered published studies on T2DM, presenting HbA1c variability as standard deviation (SD) or its derived coefficient of variation (CV). Literature search was performed on PubMed in the time range 2015-July 2022, with no restrictions of language.
    Results: Twenty-three selected studies fulfilled the aims of the present investigation. Overall, the analysis of the risk as hazard ratios (HR) indicated a significant association between the HbA1c variability, expressed either as SD or CV, and the complications, except for neuropathy. Macro-vascular complications were all significantly associated with HbA1c variability, with HR 1.40 (95%CI 1.31-1.50, p < 0.0001) for stroke, 1.30 (95%CI 1.25-1.36, p < 0.0001) for transient ischaemic attack/coronary heart disease/myocardial infarction, and 1.32 (95%CI 1.13-1.56, p = 0.0007) for peripheral arterial disease. Micro-vascular complications yielded HR 1.29 (95%CI 1.22-1.36, p < 0.0001) for nephropathy, 1.03 (95%CI 0.99-1.08, p = 0.14) for neuropathy, and 1.15 (95%CI 1.08-1.24, p < 0.0001) for retinopathy. For all-cause mortality, HR was 1.33 (95%CI 1.27-1.39, p < 0.0001), and for cardiovascular mortality 1.25 (95%CI 1.17-1.34, p < 0.0001).
    Conclusions: Our meta-analysis on HbA1c variability performed on the most recent published data since 2015 indicates positive association between HbA1c variability and macro-/micro-vascular complications, as well as mortality events, in T2DM, suggesting that this long-term glycaemic parameter merits further attention as a predictive, independent risk factor for T2DM population.

    Abstract Gestational weight gain is necessary for the normal fetus development, in fact a series of studies have evidenced that both low and excessive gestational weight gain is associated with negative fetal-neonatal outcomes. So, evidences on the optimal gestational weight gain across the ranges of the pre-pregnancy maternal body mass index are necessary. In this context, while for normal weight and underweight the recommendations of IOM are clearly stated and supported by well designed and conducted clinical studies, those for the obese pregnant women are even today debated. Pre-pregnancy obesity is associated with high risk to develop hypertension, gestational diabetes, cesarean section and high birth weight. The Institute of Medicine guidelines, in 2009, recommended that women with obesity gain 11-20 lb at a rate of 0.5 lb/week during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Successively, taking into account a series of meta-analysis, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists emphasized that the IOM weight gain targets for obese pregnant women are too high. However the high risk to have babies small for gestational age, related to a low weight gain or a losing of weight during pregnancy, has also been demonstrated. More recent studies have taken into consideration the maternal and fetal outcomes of obese pregnant women with different obesity class (I,II,III) and different weight gain during pregnancy. The analysis of these studies, discussed in this narrative review, show that the appropriate gestational weight gain should be personalized considering the three obesity class; furthermore both an upper and lower limit of gestational weight gain should be reconsidered in order to prevent the negative maternal and fetal outcomes in these women.
