Abstract

Aims/hypothesis

Fulminant Type 1 diabetes is a novel subtype of Type 1 diabetes that involves the abrupt onset of insulin-deficient hyperglycaemia. This subtype appears to be non-autoimmune because of the absence of diabetes-related autoantibodies in the serum, and of insulitis in pancreatic biopsy specimens. The pathogenesis of the disease is still unknown. In this study, we investigated whether T cell autoimmune responses are involved in fulminant Type 1 diabetes.

Methods

Cellular immune responses to beta cell autoantigens were studied by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay in 13 fulminant Type 1 diabetic patients and 49 autoantibody-positive autoimmune Type 1 diabetic patients. Results were compared with those of 18 Type 2 diabetic patients, six secondary diabetic patients (diabetes due to chronic pancreatitis) and 35 healthy controls.

Results

Nine of 13 (69.2%) GAD-reactive Th1 cells, and three of 12 (25%) insulin-B9-23-reactive Th1 cells were identified in fulminant Type 1 diabetic patients by ELISPOT, as in autoantibody-positive Type 1 diabetic patients. Four fulminant Type 1 diabetic patients possessed the highly diabetes-resistant allele DR2, three of whom had GAD-reactive Th1 cells in the periphery.

Conclusions/interpretation

Peripheral immune reaction was observed in 69.2% of fulminant Type 1 diabetic patients, indicating that autoreactive T cells might contribute, at least in part, to the development of fulminant Type 1 diabetes.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
