Positive Effect

A ten-day course of karsil (silimarin, legalon) or silibor therapy improved the absorption (as indicated by ueviridin test) and oxidative-antitoxic (as shown by antipyrin test) hepatocyte functions in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus with hepatosis. A similar ten-day course of Liv-52 did not change the studied liver parameters. lnductothermal exposure of the splenic area (a 20 min session daily for 5 days) improved the absorption and antitoxic functions of the liver in diabetics. A positive effect of splenic inductothermia persisted for at least two weeks. The peak values of ultrasonic amplitude histogram of the liver reflect the time course of liver status in the course of karsil and silibor therapy and splenic inductothermal exposure.

Time course of psychological status of diabetics during automonitoring training is analyzed. Seventeen patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus aged 15-43 years with disease standing of 1-17 years were followed up, who were never trained automonitoring before. Two control groups were not trained, which helped assess the results from different viewpoints. The levels of depression, anxiety, energy, positive sensations, total well-being, satisfaction with treatment, subjective perception of hypoglycemic reactions, and subjective perception of hyperglycaemia were assessed using special questionnaires. Compensation of diabetes was improved both in the main and control groups. Psychological status of diabetics improved after training: levels of depression and anxiety decreased, levels of energy, psychological well-being, and general psychological status increased (p<0.05). In the controls all the above parameters were unchanged over the period of hospitalization. The incidence of subjective perception of hyperglycaemia decreased in trained patients (p<0.05) but not in the controls. The data indicate that the program of diabetic training can be recommended as a method for improving the efficacy of treatment as regards both metabolism compensation and improvement of the psychological status of patients.

SummaryBased on findings that showed increased P-selectin expression on platelets and on choroidal microvessels of patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), we hypothesized that also plasma concentrations of circulating (c)P-selectin would be increased in these patients.The aim of this study was to compare the plasma levels of cP-selec-tin between non-smoking patients with IDDM, treated with an intensified insulin therapy, and healthy controls. The study design was prospective, cross-sectional and analyst-blinded. Subjects were matched individually for sex, age and body mass index. Plasma levels of cP-selectin and of von Willebrand antigen (vWF-Ag) were determined by enzyme linked immunoassays.Forty-two pairs were available for intergroup comparison. Median plasma concentrations of cP-selectin in patients with IDDM (285 ng/ml; interquartile range: 233-372) were on average 21% higher than those of controls (236 ng/ml; interquartile range: 175-296; p = 0.004). Also, median plasma levels of vWF-Ag were 10% higher in patients (96 U/dl; interquartile range: 82-127) than controls (87 U/dl; interquartile range: 70-104; p = 0.025). There was no correlation between plasma concentrations of cP-selectin and vWF-Ag levels in either group (p ώ0.05).In conclusion, our results of increased cP-selectin levels are in line with increased P-selectin expression on platelets and on choroidal microvessels found in patients with IDDM. In view of the currently developed small molecule inhibitors of cell adhesion molecules, these independent observations together may provide a sound rationale to select P-selectin as a target for treating or preventing IDDM-associated micro- or macrovascular complications.
