Introduction. This study was designed to correlate the serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of progranulin (PGRN) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs CRP) in chronic periodontitis and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM).Design. PGRN and hs CRP levels were estimated in 3 groups: healthy, chronic periodontitis, and type 2 DM with chronic periodontitis.Results. The mean PGRN and hs CRP concentrations in serum and GCF were the highest for group 3 followed by group 2 and the least in group 1.Conclusion. PGRN and hs CRP may be biomarkers of the inflammatory response in type 2 DM and chronic periodontitis.

Background: Obesity is considered as a strong risk factor of inflammatory periodontal tissue destruction. The purpose of this study is to determine presence of progranulin (PGRN) and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hs CRP) levels in serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in obese subjects with chronic periodontitis and to find an association, if any.Material and methods: 40 subjects (20 males and 20 females) were selected based on their clinical parameters into four groups (10 subjects in each group): group 1 (healthy non obese), group 2 (healthy obese), group 3 (non obese with chronic periodontitis) and group 4 (obese with chronic periodontitis). Serum and GCF PGRN levels were estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA) and hs CRP levels were estimated by immunoturbidimetry method.Results: The mean PGRN and hs CRP concentration both in serum and GCF were highest for group 4 followed by group 3, group 2 and least in Group 1.Conclusion: PGRN and hs CRP may be novel biomarkers of the chronic inflammatory response in obesity and chronic periodontitis.

Type-2 diabetes may remain in subclinical form for years before diagnosis. This quiescence of type-2 diabetes is a great concern for health care providers. The earliest change of the type-2 diabetes is the insulin resistance, which is associated with the increased macrovascular risk due to induction of chronic inflammation in the vessels of the body which leads to atherosclerotic change in the vessels. High sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is the measure of C-reactive protein with greater accuracy and the lower limit of its assay is .01 mg/L which is more than 100 times as sensitive as the usual CRP measurement (lower limit 5 mg/L). The median level of hs-CRP from blood samples of apparent healthy subjects is 0.8 mg/L. For this, physician uses the hs-CRP parameter as a marker of chronic inflammation in apparently normal healthy individuals, specially for the assessment of atherosclerosis, which is a chronic inflammatory procedure from the very beginning, in type-2 diabetic, obese and hypertensive patients. This vascular atherosclerosis assessment help them to calculate the cardiovascular as well as cerebrovascular risk of those patients. To help the type-2 diabetic patients from the very begining in respect of the prognostic view of the macrovascular risk, estimations of serum hs-CRP in the early stage of these patient may be a enthusiastic one. This descriptive study was carried out by choosing 70 diabetic patient who had no other comorbidity or any complications of diabetes and 35 healthy subjects who were neither diabetic nor had any diseases. Both the groups were non-smoker and non-alcoholic and non-hypertensive, hs-CRP level was measured in both the groups along with the HbA1c%. The mean hs-CRP in diabetic group was 1.13 mg/L and in normal healthy subjects was 0.39 mg/L. This higher level of mean hs-CRP (1.13 mg/L) in diabetic patients is statisticaly significant (P<0.01) compared with that of the normal healthy subjects mean hs-CRP (0.39 mg/L). This mean level of hs-CRP in normal healthy subjects was below the lower level of cardiovascular risk (1 mg/L).

ObjectivesApolipoprotein Cs (apoCs), especially apoC-II and apoC-III, as the components of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, play a key role in the pathophysiology of diabetes. However, prospective studies examining direct associations between apoCs and diabetes are not reproducible. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of apoCs on the risk of developing diabetes in a middle-aged population, and to explore possible mediators responsible for the relationship between apoCs and diabetes.DesignProspective cohort study.SettingCommunity-based study carried out in Beijing.MethodsApoCs were measured in 1085 participants aged 45–74 years and free of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) at baseline from the Chinese Multi-Provincial Cohort Study-Beijing Project. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to examine the association of apoCs with a 5-year risk of new-onset T2DM. The impacts of triglycerides, insulin and high-sensitivity C reactive protein (hs-CRP) on the association between apoC-III and the risk of T2DM were explored by a mediation test.ResultsDuring the 5 years of follow-up, 97 (8.9%) participants developed T2DM. ApoC-III was significantly associated with the risk of developing T2DM after multivariable adjustment (OR=1.40; 95% CI 1.07 to 1.82). This association was mainly mediated by triglyceride levels with a significant indirect effect (OR 1.61; 95% CI 1.19 to 2.18), followed by hs-CRP and insulin.ConclusionsOur findings demonstrated that higher serum apoC-III was independently associated with increased 5-year risk of new-onset T2DM in the Chinese population, and triglyceride plays a crucial role in mediating this relationship. More attention should be paid to preventive strategies of T2DM targeting apoC-III.
