Faktorer som kan främja eller hindra motivationen till livsstilsförändringar vid diabetes mellitus typ 2 : en litteraturbaserad studie / Factors that can promote or inhibit motivation to lifestyle changes in diabetes mellitus type 2 : a literature-based studyThorsson, Elvira, Andersson, Niklas January 2019 (has links)
Background: Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a growing disease that affects both adults and children. Common risk factors for developing diabetes type 2 are low physical activity and abdominal obesity. The disease can bring complications such as cardiovascular disease and hypoglycemia. Pre-diabetes is a pre-stage to develop diabetes mellitus type 2. However, lifestyle changes can prevent the progress of diabetes mellitus type 2. In order to make the lifestyle changes that are required, motivation is of great importance. Aim: The aim of this study was to describe experiences of furtherance and inhibitive motivational factors to lifestyle changes among persons with pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus type 2. Method: The method used was a literature study based on qualitative research. The articles in the study were analyzed accordingly to Friberg's five step model and resulted in three themes and eight sub-themes. Results: The themes were; an internal motivating force, support from the surrounding as a motivational factor and inner and outer barriers that inhibit for the motivation. In order to support and motivate persons with pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus type 2 the nurse must understand what it is that helps persons find the motivation to make lifestyle changes. Conclusion: Promoting and inhibiting motivational factors for lifestyle changes varies from person to person. / Diabetes mellitus typ 2 är en sjukdom som ökar i hela världen. Prediabetes är ett förstadium till diabetes mellitus typ 2. Tidigare forskning visar att livsstilsförändringar är grundläggande för att förhindra riskfaktorer och komplikationer. Motivation är en förutsättning hos personen med diabetes mellitus typ 2 för att genomföra och bibehålla en livsstilsförändring. Sjuksköterskan har en betydelsefull funktion genom att ge stöd och motivera personerna. Vad är det som anses främja och hindra motivationen? Detta examensarbete beskriver personers erfarenheter av faktorer som främjade och hindrade motivationen till livsstilsförändringar vid prediabetes och diabetes mellitus typ 2. Tio artiklar som behandlar ämnet har bearbetats och utifrån dessa har teman utformats. Resultatet visade att inre drivkraft och stöd från omgivningen var betydelsefulla motiverande faktorer till skillnad från inre och yttre barriärer som istället var hindrade för motivationen. Den inre drivkraften är viktig men individuell och sjuksköterskan bör ha ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt för att kartlägga vad som anses motiverande till livsstilsförändring. Mer forskning krävs kring motiverande faktorer till livsstilsförändringar samt sjuksköterskans förmåga att kunna motivera.

Global human transcriptomic variation. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2012 (has links)
廣泛的區域內和跨民族的轉錄變化反映了人類的適應和自然選擇。基因表達是轉化基因組信息為功能基因產品 - 蛋白質的主要機制。異常基因的表達和疾病的發病機制有關。基因組革命提供了獨特的機會為複雜的人類轉錄組進行全面的研究。轉錄分析需要複雜的生物信息學方法。在技術角度,一個實證模型用了哺乳動物基因組中內含子長度幾何尾分佈的定律準確地確定剪接交界處和非唯一映射讀取的位置。這種方法在處理非唯一映射讀取比BWA更好。這方法還比其他工具檢測出更多已經實驗證實的剪接交界處。核糖核酸測序首先用於北京漢人和西歐之間的表達表型與的轉錄變化的詳盡研究。民族的具體剪接交界處被發現。此外,民族的具體特點體現在相對異構體的豐度差。最後,這分子表型剪接頻譜的變化在不同種族之間的不同表明了另一個描繪種族多樣性的方法,核糖核酸測序還被用於探索的一種複雜的疾病:二型糖尿病的分子異常。二型糖尿病表現在廣泛不同的基因表達。(1)這研究證實先前公佈的全基因組關聯研究;(2)改善策劃不佳的位點和(3)發現新型2型糖尿病相關的基因。本研究通過整合各種改變的信號,並在一個高度可信的基因 - 基因相互作用網絡進行解釋,增強表達異常在2型糖尿病的認識。在更廣泛的69×79的情況下,對照組的結果進行了驗證。本研究增強表達異常在2型糖尿病的認識。 / Extensive intra- and inter- ethnic transcriptome variation reflects human adaptation and natural selection. Gene expression is the primary mechanism that translates genome information into functional gene product that lead to physiological phenotypes. Aberrant gene expression has been associated to the pathogenesis of diseases. The genome revolution has offered unique opportunity for a comprehensive interrogation of the complexity of human transcriptome. Analysis of transcriptome using RNA-Seq requires sophisticated bioinformatics approach. In a technical perspective, an empirical model based on the geometric-tail distribution of intron lengths in mammalian genome was developed to accurately determine splice junctions from junction reads and locations of non-uniquely mapped reads. Such method handles non-uniquely mapped reads better than BWA. The method can also detect more experimentally confirmed splice junction than other tools. Expressional phenotyping was employed to explore global transcriptomic variation between Beijing Han Chinese and Western European. In addition to inter-ethnic variations in gene expression, ethnic specific splice juctions were found. Further, ethnic specific trait manifests in differential relative isoform abundance. Lastly, such spectrum of variations was different between different ethnic groups, suggesting alternative splicing as another molecular phenotype that delineates ethnic diversity. Expressional phenotyping was then used in a case-control study to explore the molecular abnormalities of a complex disease: Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM). T2DM manifested in wide-spread repression of gene expression. The study (1) confirmed previously reported Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) loci; (2) curated poorly characteriezed GWAS loci and (3) discovered novel T2DM associated genes. By integrating various alteration signals and interpretation performed in a highly confident gene-gene interaction network, this study augmented the understanding of expressed abnormalities in T2DM. The results were validated in a broader 69 x 79 case-control group. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Li, Jing Woei. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 118-130). / Electronic reproduction.

Proteomic study of the effects of palmitic acid on skeletal muscle cell and its relation with mitochondrial function. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2012 (has links)
2 型糖尿病(T2D)的發展歷史悠久,但導致T2D 患者胰島素抵抗的確切病理還沒有完全理解。骨骼肌佔大多數(70-80%)的胰島素引導的葡萄糖的吸收,所以它一直是胰島素抵抗的研究焦點。許多 T2D 患者的骨骼組織顯示線粒體功能障礙,但線粒體功能障礙和胰島素抵抗之間的關係尚不清楚還在辯論中。在這個項目中,這種關係是通過研究游離脂肪酸(FFA)( 24 小時處理)對 C2C12 小鼠骨骼肌細胞的效果來闡明。 / 免疫印記法顯示FFA 誘導胰島素抵抗,結合二維電泳和質譜分析的蛋白質組學研究發現FFA 有抑制糖酵解,增加β-氧化作用,沒有改變檸檬酸循環和抑製氧化磷酸化的作用。FFA 抑制電子傳遞鏈的幾個組成部分,揭示線粒體功能障礙,背後的原因可推測為FFA 增加令β-氧化作用增加,但沒有協調改變率檸檬酸循環,導致積累不完全β-氧化的中轉體,導致線粒體過載,最終導致胰島素抵抗。 / There is a long history of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) research development, but the exact pathology leading to insulin resistance of T2D is still not fully understood. T2D is frequently characterized by tissue insulin resistance and it is often associated with an elevated concentration of palmitic acid (PA, a major kind of dietary fatty acid) in serum. Due to this correlation, much of the effort in the field had been concentrated on the effect of PA in insulin action and glucose metabolism, and how elevated PA could possibly cause insulin resistance in specific tissues. / Skeletal muscle accounts for the majority (70-80%) of insulin-mediated glucose uptake, so it has been the focus of insulin resistance studies. Many T2D patients having elevated serum free fatty acid (FFA, where PA is a kind of FFA) also show mitochondrial dysfunction in their skeletal tissue, but the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle remains unclear and under debate. In this project, the three-party relationship was elucidated by studying the effect of 24hrs of incubation of palmitic acid (PA) on skeletal muscle using C2C12 mouse skeletal cells as model. / PA-treated C2C12 cells show reduction in insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation when compared with untreated C2C12 cells. Comparative proteomic study for both total proteins and mitochondrial proteins with 2D gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry unveil, when compared with untreated cells, PA-treated C2C12 cells show down-regulation in enzymes involved in glycolysis(e.g. glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphoglycerate kinase, fructose-bisphosphate aldose A), up-regulation in enzymes involved in beta-oxidation(e.g. 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase), and down-regulation in proteins involved in oxidative phosphorylation(e.g. ATP synthase subunits, NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase 75kDa subunit, cytochrome b-c complex subunit 1). / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Lam, Chor Kwan. / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 69-78). / Electronic reproduction.

An investigation of the relationship between atherosclerosis and its risk factors amongst subjects with difference degrees of glycaemic control. / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2005 (has links)
As the prevalence of atherosclerosis has risen to an alarming level throughout the world, this thesis investigated: (1) the effects of type 2 diabetes mellitus on the risk factors for atherosclerosis and the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid arteries (a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis), (2) the contribution of various risk factors to the IMT of the common carotid arteries and (3) the interrelationship between the risk factors. / Atherosclerosis is the process by which the inner lining of a large or medium artery is deposited with lipids, cellular waste and other substances. It reduces the vessel's elasticity, lumen size and blood flow. Atherosclerosis is the primary underlying mechanism leading to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the second and third leading causes of death in Hong Kong. / Both traditional and emerging risk factors for atherosclerosis were studied: traditional risk factors include age, blood pressure, indices of glycaemia control (fasting glucose, insulin and haemoglobin-Alc), and fasting lipids, while the emerging risk factors include, abdominal fat volume (subcutaneous and visceral), inflammatory markers (interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8) and high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hsCRP)), adiponectin, stress hormones (24 hr urinary noradrenaline and adrenaline, and plasma cortisol), and occupational stress (measured by a effort-reward imbalance questionnaire). / Starting with 204 subjects recruited from three different studies, data from 84 normoglycaemic subjects, 23 patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 77 patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) were included in the analysis. When the IMT of the common carotid arteries and various risk factors were compared between normoglycaemic, IGT and DM subjects: (1) the IMT of the common carotid arteries showed an increasing trend with the worsening of glycaemia control (normal<IGT<DM), (2) increased prevalence of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and obesity were observed among DM patients, and (3) increased levels of inflammatory markers, reduced concentration of adiponectin (a anti-inflammatory substance), and increased plasma cortisol concentration were also found among DM subjects. As the studies were limited by sample size, only a few risk factors were found significantly related to the carotid IMT. Age was the only common risk factor which was found to be correlated to the IMT of both the normoglycaemic and the DM/IGT subjects.

Disease association and functional studies of apolipoprotein E non-coding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). / CUHK electronic theses & dissertations collectionJanuary 2007 (has links)
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a lipid transport protein which plays a key role in lipid metabolism. In addition to the well known polymorphic coding alleles epsilon2, epsilon3 and epsilon4, APOE promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have also been reported to modify disease susceptibilities in humans. / In a case-control study involving 710 Chinese type 2 diabetes and 198 non-diabetic subjects, genotyping of three SNPs (-491A/T, -219G/T and +113G/C) within the APOE proximal promoter identified that -491A was associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes in women (OR=2.44, 95%CI=1.15-5.19, p=0.017). However, the three tested SNPs were not associated with the risk of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Yeast one-hybrid screening of the human brain cDNA library using the polymorphic DNA sequences spanning the APOE promoter -491 site as the 'baits' identified one of the interacting transcription factors being the activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4). Electrophoretic-mobility-shift assay confirmed the physical interaction of the purified recombinant ATF4 protein and APOE promoter -491 A/T spanning region (-521 to -461). The binding of ATF4 to the -491T-containing sequence was stronger than that of the -491A-containing sequence. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay further confirmed the interaction between ATF4 and APOE promoter -491-spanning region in vivo. The functional significance of APOE -491A/T polymorphism was supported by the dual-luciferase reporter assay showing that -491 A to T single nucleotide substitution significantly decreased the activity of the cloned APOE promoter (-1019 to +407) in human kidney (293), liver (WRL-68) and astrocyte (U-87) cell lines. Further analysis showed that ATF4 over-expression significantly down-regulated the activities of the cloned APOE promoter. The suppression of ATF4 on APOE promoter with -491A allelic form was significantly stronger than that with -491T allelic form in 293 cells (p<0.05). Interestingly, overexpression of recombinant ATF4 stimulated endogenous APOE transcription by about 10% in WRL-68 cells. / In conclusion, APOE promoter -491A/T polymorphism modifies the risk of type 2 diabetes in Hong Kong Chinese women. The -491A/T polymorphism controls APOE promoter activity and is interactive with transcription factor ATF4. / My thesis project aimed at testing two hypotheses: (1) APOE promoter SNPs associate with the risks of type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy, (2) APOE promoter SNPs modify transcriptional control of the gene. / Geng, Hua. / "September 2007." / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 69-08, Section: B, page: 4559. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2007. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 140-151). / Electronic reproduction.

近年來,腸促胰島素類藥物胰高血糖素樣肽-1受體(GLP-1R)激動劑(如liraglutide,exenatide)和二肽基肽酶-4(DPP-4)抑制劑(如sitagliptin,vildagliptin)在2型糖尿病治療中得到廣泛應用。然而,2型糖尿病患者中腸促胰島素效應嚴重受損。研究表明,2型糖尿病患者的腸促胰島素激素(GLP-1和GIP)分泌並不顯著降低,因此腸促胰島素效應受損主要是由於2型糖尿病患者中β細胞對腸促胰島素激素反應性降低。GIP在2型糖尿病患者中刺激胰島素分泌的功能幾乎完全消失。相比較,GLP-1刺激胰島素分泌功能在2型糖尿病患者中部分保留。2型糖尿病中腸促胰島素效應受損的具體機制目前仍不清楚。本論文主要從2型糖尿病患者的腸促胰島素效應受損的機理及對腸促胰島素類藥物療效的影響上進行相關研究。 / 我們較早的研究發現高血糖能降低胰島β細胞GLP-1R受體的表達,從而損傷胰島β細胞GLP-1R信號通路是2型糖尿中腸促胰島素受損的部分原因。由於高血脂和高血糖都是糖尿病的主要特徵,我進一步研究了高血脂對β細胞的腸促胰島素信號通路的影響。體外實驗表明,棕櫚酸能降低胰島β細胞中GLP-1R的表達,並且抑制了GLP-1刺激的cAMP產生及CREB的磷酸化;在β細胞中外源性表達GLP-1R能部分恢復棕櫚酸損傷的GLP-1刺激cAMP產生及CREB的磷酸化。此外,在db/db小鼠和HFD誘導的肥胖及糖尿病小鼠模型中,降脂藥bezafibrate和niacin 能顯著提高腸促胰島素類藥物sitagliptin 和exendin-4的降糖效果,並且伴隨著對胰島形態結構的改善以及增加胰島β細胞質量。 / 另一方面,2型糖尿病患者胰島β細胞的功能和品質持續性的減少。其中慢性的高血糖和高血脂是兩個主要因素。臨床研究發現sitagliptin的降糖效果隨著糖尿病持續的時間增加而降低,而具體機理並不清楚。我們以前研究發現高血糖損傷胰島β細胞GLP-1R的表達及其信號通路是2型糖尿病腸促胰島素效應受損的重要原因。我進一步探討了exendin-4在STZ-HFD 誘導的較輕程度糖尿病(MH)小鼠(相對較輕的高血糖以及β細胞質量減少)和重度糖尿病(SH)小鼠(嚴重高血糖以及β細胞質量減少)的治療效果。研究發現, exendin-4只在MH小鼠中顯著降低血糖,改善糖耐量,恢復正常胰島結構及增加β細胞質量。而在兩組小鼠中exendin-4 都能降低體重,增加胰腺重量,但對食都沒影響。儘管exendin-4能顯著降低MH小鼠中胰島素耐量實驗葡萄糖水平,但HORM-IR無顯著差異。此外,exendin-4處理對胰島素刺激的肝臟及肌肉組織中磷酸化AKT和GSK水準在兩組小鼠中都無明顯改變。 / 總之,我的研究強調了血糖血脂的控制在2型糖尿病患者中的重要作用。我也發現高血糖、高血脂導致2型糖尿病患者β細胞功能持續受損的同時也損傷了GLP-1R信號通路,以至腸促胰島素類藥物療效的降低。我們的研究對腸促胰島素類藥物在2型糖尿病患者中的合理使用提供了重要資訊。 / Incretin-based drugs, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (e.g. liraglutide and exenatide) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors (e.g. sitagliptin and vildagliptin), which inhibit degrading intact GLP-1, have been a novel therapeutics for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with reduced incretin effects. The underlying mechanism, however, is not well understood. / Our previous studies showed that hyperglycemia downregulates glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor (GLP-1R) which potentially contributes to the impaired incretin responses in cells. Whereas the effects of hyperlipidemia, another common clinical feature of T2DM, on GLP-1 response is largely unknown. In this study, I investigated the effects of free fatty acids (FFA) on incretin receptor signalings, and examined the glucose-lowering efficacy of incretin-based drugs in combination with lipid-lowering agents. I found that palmitate treatment decreased GLP-1R expression in rodent insulinoma cell lines, which was associated with impaired GLP-1 stimulated cAMP production and phosphorylation of CREB. Over-expression of GLP-1R restored the cAMP production and the phosphorylation of CREB. Treatment with bezafibrate or niacin in combination with des-fluoro-sitagliptin or exendin-4 produced more robust glycemic control associated with improved pancreatic islet morphology and islet cell function in db/db mice and HFD-fed mice. / On the other hand, chronic hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia can cause a progressive deterioration in pancreatic beta-cell function and mass in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It has been reported that the efficacy of incretin-based therapeutics is attenuated with the duration of diabetes. In our previous study, we have shown that hyperglycemia downregulates GLP-1 receptor which in turn may contribute to the impaired incretin effect in type 2 diabetes. In this study, I further investigated the efficacy of GLP-1 based drug exendin-4 in a rodent model of type 2 diabetes with different degrees of hyperglycemia and reduction of beta cell mass. I found that in moderate hyperglycemia (MH) group but not in severe hyperglycemia (SH) group, exendin-4 treatment significantly reduced fed glucose levels and plasma lipid profiles, improved glucose tolerance and glucose stimulated insulin secretion, and was associated with restored islets morphology and increased beta cell mass. Exendin-4 significantly decreased body weight gain and increased pancreatic mass both in MH and SH group. Although glucose levels were significantly reduced in MH group with exentin-4 treatment during insulin tolerance test, exendin-4 had no effects on HORM-IR, food intake, and insulin stimulated p-AKT/p-GSK in liver and muscle in both MH and SH group. / In summary, my findings highlight the importance of comprehensive lipid and glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. I found that factors including hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia that cause progressive decline in beta cell failure impaired beta cell GLP-1R signaling as well as the efficacy of incretin-based therapies. These results add to our knowledge regarding the mechanism of incretin-based therapy in improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients and provide new insights in designing treatment strategies including incretin-based therapy for type 2 diabetic patients. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular

Previous issue date: 2016-03-23 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) / The Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders has in
common hyperglycemia, result from defects in insulin action or insulin secretion or
both. This is one of the health problems of greater magnitude in Brazil. So the selfcare
activities are essential in carriers of diabetes mellitus type two to maintain and
improve their health. However represent challenge for carries and health
professionals. The research aimed to analyze the factors associated to knowledge
about diabetes and to self-care activities of carries of Diabetes mellitus type two. For
that was conducted a cross-sectional analytical study with a quantitative approach
with 360 carries of diabetes mellitus type two attended at Ambulatory Endocrinology
of Federal University of Maranhão. The data collect was conducted in the period from
february to july 2015. For data collection was used three instruments, one containing
identification data with open and closed questions concerning sociodemographic and
clinical variables, self-care activities questionnaire with Diabetes (QAD) and
questionnaire of scale knowledge of Diabetes (DKN). We used Spearman coefficient
in the correlation between self-care activities with age and time of disease, the MannWhitney
test for association of self-care of scores with the sociodemographic and
clinical variables and the Chi Square test to association between knowledge and
sociodemographic and clinical variables. For interpretation of statistic has adapted
results the significance level of 5% (p < 0.05). The research has shown that carries of
diabetes mellitus type 2 have generally low self-care for items general food, physical
activity and monitory glycemia and the best self-care activities are related the specific
food, medication and care of the feet. Observed that most participants had higher
scores to 8, indicates a high degree of knowledge about disease. If found
associations between the scores of knowledge and self-care activities with the
socioeconomic and clinical variables. It was concluded that there are factors related
to socioeconomic and clinical features that interfere with the self-care activities and
the knowledge of carries with diabetes mellitus type 2 against disease. / O Diabetes Mellitus (DM) é um grupo heterogêneo de distúrbios metabólicos que
apresenta em comum a hiperglicemia, resultado de defeitos na ação da insulina, na
secreção de insulina ou em ambas. Esta constitui um dos problemas de saúde de
maior magnitude no Brasil. Assim, as atividades de autocuidado são essenciais nas
pessoas que têm diabetes mellitus tipo 2 para manter e melhorar a sua saúde,
porém, representam desafio tanto para o indivíduo que a sofre quanto ao profissional
da saúde. A pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar os fatores associados ao
conhecimento sobre o diabetes e às atividades de autocuidado dos portadores de
diabetes mellitus tipo 2. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo analítico de corte
transversal com abordagem quantitativa com 360 portadores de DM tipo 2 atendidos
no Ambulatório de Endocrinologia do Hospital Universitário da Universidade Federal
do Maranhão. A coleta dos dados foi realizada no período de fevereiro a julho de
2015. Para a coleta de dados, utilizaram-se três instrumentos, um contendo dados
de identificação com questões abertas e fechadas referente às variáveis
sociodemográficas e clínicas, o Questionário de Atividades de Autocuidado com o
diabetes (QAD) e o Questionário da Escala de Conhecimento de Diabetes (DKN).
Utilizou-se o coeficiente de Spearman na correlação entre as atividades de
autocuidado com a idade e o tempo de doença, o teste Mann-Whitney para
associação dos escores do autocuidado com as variáveis sociodemográficas e
clínicas e o teste Qui Quadrado para associação entre o conhecimento e as
variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas. Para a interpretação estatística dos
resultados foi adotado nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). A pesquisa mostrou
que os portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 têm autocuidado geral baixo para os
itens alimentação geral, atividade física e monitoramento da glicemia; e as melhores
atividades de autocuidado estão relacionadas à alimentação específica, à
medicação e ao cuidado com os pés. Observa-se que a maioria dos participantes
obtiveram escores superiores a 8, indicando um grau elevado de conhecimento
sobre a doença. Verificaram-se associações entre os escores de conhecimento e
das atividades de autocuidado com as variáveis socioeconômicas e clínicas.
Concluiu-se que existem fatores relacionados às características socioeconômicas e
clínicas que interferem nas atividades de autocuidado e no conhecimento do
portador de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 frente à doença.

Influência da doença periodontal sobre os fatores de risco para aterosclerose em pacientes portadores de Diabetes Mellitus /Pedroso, Juliana de Fátima. January 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Maria Aparecida Neves Jardini / Coorientador: Antônio Martins Figueiredo / Banca: José Benedito Oliveira Amorim / Banca: Milton Santamaria Júnior / Resumo: A Doença Periodontal (DP) e o Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) apresentam a mesma etiopatogênese inflamatória e demonstram uma relação bidirecional, pois DM2 afeta a severidade da DP, e esta pode contribuir para a carga inflamatória total do indivíduo, influenciando a evolução do DM2. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar os fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de aterosclerose em pacientes portadores de DM2, com e sem periodontite crônica. Foram analisados 48 pacientes, os quais foram divididos em 2 grupos: Teste (pacientes diabéticos com periodontite crônica) e Controle (pacientes diabéticos sem periodontite crônica). O grupo teste foi tratado com debridamento periodontal e o grupo controle recebeu profilaxia supragengival. Ambos os grupos receberam controle de placa a cada 3 meses. No baseline e 6 meses após o tratamento, foi realizada tomada dos parâmetros clínicos periodontais (IP, IG, PS, RG e NIC) e coleta de sangue para avaliação dos marcadores séricos inflamatórios (oxLDL, CT, TG, LDL, HDL, glicose, HbA1c, PCRus, leucócitos e neutrófilos). Os parâmetros periodontais mostraram melhora significativa (p<0,05) no grupo teste, exceto RG. IP e IG também diminuíram significativamente no grupo controle após 6 meses. CT e HbA1c apresentaram taxas significativamente maiores no grupo teste, em comparação com o grupo controle.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM, with and without chronic periodontitis. We analyzed 48 patients, who were divided into 2 groups: Test (diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis) and Control (diabetic patients without chronic periodontitis). The test group was treated with periodontal debridement and the control group received supragingival prophylaxis. Both groups received plaque control every 3 months. Periodontal clinical parameters (IP, IG, PS, RG and NIC) and collection of blood for evaluation of serum inflammatory markers (oxLDL, CT, TG, LDL, HDL, glucose, HbA1c, hs-CRP, leukocytes and neutrophils). The periodontal parameters showed significant improvement (p <0.05) in the test group, except for RG. IP and IG also decreased significantly in the control group after 6 months. CT and HbA1c presented significantly higher rates in the test group compared to the control group. Rates of Hs-1c and HbA1c decreased significantly in the test group after periodontal therapy. The leukocyte count showed a significant decrease in the control group during the study time. Periodontal therapy promotes... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Mestre
