    Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a growing public health concern, disproportionately impacting racial and ethnic minorities. Assessing disparities is the first step towards achieving the translation goal to reduce disparities in diabetes outcomes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s Division of Diabetes. We analyzed the data of patients (18+ years) diagnosed with T2D between 1 January 2012 and 31 March 2017, using the electronic health records of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. We compared the crude rate and age-standardized rate (using direct method) of selected micro- and macrovascular complication rates, associated obesity, and insulin dependence among racial and ethnic groups. Our sample included 20,680 patients who made 394,106 visits (9922 non-Hispanic White patients, 4698 non-Hispanic Black patients, and 6060 Hispanic patients). Our results suggest a higher risk of acquiring macrovascular (hypertension, ischemic disease, and stroke) and microvascular (renal, ophthalmic, and neurological) complications in Black patients compared to non-Hispanic White and Hispanic patients. The rates of stage I or II obesity were higher in Black patients compared with White and Hispanic patients. The rates of insulin use rather than oral hypoglycemics were also higher in Black patients than White and Hispanic patients. The disparities in terms of the higher susceptibility to complications among Black patients are possibly linked to the socioeconomic disadvantages of this population, leading to poorer management. Prevention strategies are warranted to reduce the incidence of T2D complications in racial minorities.

    Abstract Background: In the United States, more than 14 million adults suffer from alcohol use disorder (AUD). We proposed a stress-free method of electroacupuncture (EA) using chronically implanted electrodes. We aimed to develop an effective method of EA for treating AUD by testing various stimulation locations and parameters, and then investigate the effects of the daily EA on alcohol consumption and withdrawal signs in rats.
    Materials and methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to voluntarily drink ethanol under the intermittent access two-bottle choice procedure. By the end of four weeks, rats with ethanol consumption ≥1.5 g/kg/24 h were considered alcohol-dependent and included in an acute and prolonged experiments. The acute study was designed to investigate the effects of EA with different parameters and at different locations. EA treatment was applied at bilateral ST36 alone or bilateral ST36 and HT7 acupoints for 30 minutes. We investigated the effects of EA on 24-hour alcohol consumption, preference ratio (alcohol drink vs total drink), alcohol withdrawal signs (AWS), and prolonged alcohol consumption. Each animal served as its own control.
    Results: 1) By the end of week 4, 70% of rats became alcohol-dependent. 2) Following ethanol withdrawal, there was a gradual increase in AWS over time that peaked at two hours and dropped at six hours. Among the tested stimulation parameters and locations: 3) The best stimulation location was ST36 alone, and the best stimulation parameters were a combination of 100 and 2 Hz. EA at best stimulation location and parameters reduced ethanol intake by 27% (p < 0.05 vs baseline) and marginally reduced preference ratio by 23% (p = 0.05 vs baseline). 4) EA reduced AWS at two- and four-hours following ethanol withdrawal (p ≤ 0.03 each vs no EA). 5) Daily EA (for five consecutive days) resulted in a substantial reduction in ethanol intake and preference ratio by 44% and 47%, respectively (p = 0.002 each).
    Conclusions: This work shows the potential of this novel method of EA for the treatment of AUD. Further studies are warranted to investigate the mechanisms through which EA exerts its effects.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to examine the impact of utilization of the Medicare-covered Diabetes Self-Management Training (DSMT) on the likelihood of receiving preventive care and on outcomes among cancer survivors with diabetes.
    Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using 1999-2019 Texas Cancer Registry-Medicare linkage data for beneficiaries diagnosed with prostate, colorectal, or breast cancer for ≥5 years. We used propensity score matching to estimate the beneficiaries' probability of receiving DSMT and matched it with non-users. The observed DSMT outcomes were hospitalization, ER visit, eye exam, HbA1c test, foot exam, nephropathy, and all-cause mortality. DSMT utilization was set at attending 1, 2, and 3 or more sessions. Conditional Cox proportional hazard regression was built to determine the association between DSMT use and each respective outcome, unadjusted and adjusted for patients' covariates.
    Results: A total of 79,271 beneficiaries (65% had diabetes-related complications, and 41% were either prostate or breast cancer survivors) were included. We found that (1) DSMT users had more eye exams (HR=1.27), HbA1c tests (HR=1.47), foot exams (HR=1.21), and nephropathy visits (HR=1.11), and less hospitalization (HR=0.86) and overall mortality (HR=0.70) (p≤0.01 each vs. non-users); (2) among DSMT users, 56% attended one session, 24% attended 2 sessions, and 20% attended 3 or more sessions; (3) attending 2 or ≥3 DSMT sessions was associated with more eye exams (HR=1.14), HbA1c tests (HR=1.12), and foot exams (HR=1.24).
    Conclusions: DSMT is instrumental to preventing or delaying complications of diabetes in cancer survivors and reducing their overall mortality. The findings may inform future efforts to promote the value of DSMT for cancer survivors.
    Implications for cancer survivors: Medicare-covered DSMT offers a great value to cancer survivors with diabetes.

    Abstract Obesity and diabetes are some of the most important modern health problems requiring simple preventative or palliative measures using dietary means. This study investigated the impact of strawberry juice on diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced in rats using a single intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ). Fifty male rats were divided into five groups: normal control (NC), strawberry juice only (S), diabetic control (DC), and two diabetic groups treated with strawberry juice (DC + S) or metformin (DC + met). Rats were administered a single dose of both strawberry juice and oral metformin, and biochemical and histological analyses were conducted. The experiment was conducted in compliance with the Ethics Committee's regulations for the care and utilization of animals, microorganisms, and living cell cultures in education and scientific research at the Faculty of Agriculture, Minia University (MU/FA/006/12/22). Treatment of diabetic rats with strawberry juice led to a significant decrease in blood glucose. Insulin levels were also significantly increased, while lipid profiles were lowered in the diabetic rats treated with strawberry juice. Carbohydrate metabolism enzymes and antioxidant enzyme activities in the treated rats were restored to normal levels, and the levels of lipid peroxidation and proinflammatory cytokines were notably reduced. The microstructure of pancreatic and liver cells in diabetic rats was also improved with strawberry juice treatment. In addition, HPLC analysis revealed that strawberry juice was rich in flavonoids and phenolic compounds and exhibited potent antioxidant activity. These findings suggest that strawberry juice has considerable hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects on rats with diabetes which may be used in human after further investigations.

    Abstract This study investigates blackberry juice's effects on glucose metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Fifty Wistar rats were distributed to five groups randomly of ten rats each: Normal control, diabetic control, 9 mL/kg body weight (b.wt) blackberry juice only, blackberry juice plus diabetes, and 500 mg/kg b.wt metformin plus diabetes. A single intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg b.wt STZ induced diabetes in the rats. This animal study continued for 56 days after the confirmation of diabetes. The levels of liver function and renal function, as well as insulin, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucokinase, and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, and the activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), were determined. Additionally, interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and activated transcription factor 4 (ATF4) expressions were examined in the liver homogenate of rats. Furthermore, the liver tissues were utilized for histopathological examination. The results showed that blackberry juice prevented drastic loss of body weight and reduced food consumption in diabetic rats. Additionally, the levels of blood glucose, total protein, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), uric acid, creatinine, and urea improved after the administration of blackberry juice in diabetic rats. Blackberry juice significantly increased glucose metabolism and antioxidant status while reducing ER stress and inflammation in diabetic rats. Moreover, blackberry juice improved glucose metabolism by increasing insulin levels and improving the dysregulated activities of glucose-metabolizing enzymes. The microstructure of liver tissues in diabetic rats was also improved with blackberry juice treatment. Therefore, blackberry juice has the potential to alleviate diabetes in rats and could be considered as a functional food for people with diabetes.

    Abstract People with cardiometabolic diseases [namely type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, or metabolic syndrome] are more susceptible to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and endure more severe illness and poorer outcomes. Hyperinflammation has been suggested as a common pathway for both diseases. To examine the role of inflammatory biomarkers shared between COVID-19 and cardiometabolic diseases, we reviewed and evaluated published data using PubMed, SCOPUS, and World Health Organization COVID-19 databases for English articles from December 2019 to February 2022. Of 248 identified articles, 50 were selected and included. We found that people with diabetes or obesity have (i) increased risk of COVID-19 infection; (ii) increased risk of hospitalization (those with diabetes have a higher risk of intensive care unit admissions) and death; and (iii) heightened inflammatory and stress responses (hyperinflammation) to COVID-19, which worsen their prognosis. In addition, COVID-19-infected patients have a higher risk of developing T2D, especially if they have other comorbidities. Treatments controlling blood glucose levels and or ameliorating the inflammatory response may be valuable for improving clinical outcomes in these patient populations. In conclusion, it is critical for health care providers to clinically evaluate hyperinflammatory states to drive clinical decisions for COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Background: In severe burns, increased intestinal permeability facilitates bacterial translocation, resulting in systemic endotoxemia and multi
    Methods: We assessed gastric emptying (GE%) and intestinal transit (IT by geometric center "GC") in a 60% total body surface area scald burn rat model and measured bacterial counts in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) and distal small intestine by colony-forming unit per gram of tissue (CFU/g). A group of animals was treated with ghrelin or saline after burn.
    Key results: Scald burn was associated with a significant delay in GE (62% ± 4% vs 74% ± 4%; P = .02) and a trend of delay in intestinal transit (GC: 5.5 ± 0.1 vs 5.8 ± 0.2; P = .09). Concurrently, there was a marginal increase in small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (6 × 10
    Conclusions & inferences: Burn-induced gastrointestinal dysmotility is correlated with the systemic translocation of gram-negative gut bacteria that are implicated in multiple organ failure in burn patients. Therapeutic interventions to restore BIGD are warranted (Neurogastroenterol Motil, 2012, 24, 78).

    Abstract Obesity is a condition of chronic tissue inflammation and oxidative stress that poses as a risk factor for male infertility. Moringa oleifera oil extract is known to have cholesterol-lowering properties and a potential to treat obesity, while lycopene is a potent antioxidant. We hypothesize that Moringa or lycopene may improve male fertility markers in an animal model of diet-induced obesity. Male Albino rats (n = 60) were randomized to receive regular chow (RC) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks (n = 30 each). Animals in each arm were further randomized to receive gavage treatment with corn oil (vehicle), lycopene (10 mg/kg), or Moringa (400 mg/kg) for four weeks starting on week 9 (n = 10 each). Animals were sacrificed at 12 weeks, and blood was collected to assess lipid profile, serum testosterone, and gonadotropin levels. The testes and epididymides were removed for sperm analysis, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers, and histopathological assessment. In comparison to their RC littermates, animals on HFD showed an increase in body weights, serum lipids, testosterone and gonadotrophin levels, testicular oxidative stress and inflammatory markers, as well as sperm abnormalities and disrupted testicular histology. Moringa or lycopene reduced body weight, improved oxidative stress, and male fertility markers in HFD-fed animals with lycopene exhibiting better anti-antioxidant and anti-lipidemic effects. Lycopene is superior to Moringa in improving male fertility parameters, possibly by attenuating oxidative stress.

    Abstract Aims: The intermediate-term effects of dietary protein on cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese patients with heart failure and diabetes mellitus are unknown. We compared the effect of two calorie-restricted diets on cardiometabolic risk factors in this population.
    Methods and results: In this randomized controlled study, 76 overweight and obese (mean weight, 107.8 ± 20.8 kg) patients aged 57.7 ± 9.7 years, 72.4% male, were randomized to a high-protein (30% protein, 40% carbohydrates, and 30% fat) or standard-protein diet (15% protein, 55% carbohydrates, and 30% fat) for 3 months. Reductions in weight and cardiometabolic risks were evaluated at 3 months. Both diets were equally effective in reducing weight (3.6 vs. 2.9 kg) and waist circumference (1.9 vs. 1.3 cm), but the high-protein diet decreased to a greater extent glycosylated haemoglobin levels (0.7% vs. 0.1%, P = 0.002), cholesterol (16.8 vs. 0.9 mg/dL, P = 0.031), and triglyceride (25.7 vs. 5.7 mg/dL, P = 0.032), when compared with the standard-protein diet. The high-protein diet also significantly improved both systolic and diastolic blood pressure than the standard-protein diet (P < 0.001 and P = 0.040, respectively).
    Conclusions: Both energy-restricted diets reduced weight and visceral fat. However, the high-protein diet resulted in greater reductions in cardiometabolic risks relative to a standard-protein diet. These results suggest that a high-protein diet may be more effective in reducing cardiometabolic risk in this population, but further trials of longer duration are needed.
