    The Effect of Adipose Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction on Flap Viability in Experimental Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Renal Disease
    (2022) Ozkan, Burak; Eyuboglu, Atilla Adnan; Terzi, Aysen; Ozturan Ozer, Eda; Tatar, Burak Ergun; Uysal, Cagri A.; 0000-0003-3093-8369; 35450516
    Background The presence of chronic renal disease(CRD) concurrently with diabetes mellitus(DM) increases the flap failure. Adipose derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is known to enhance skin flap viability in both healthy and diabetic individuals. The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effect of SVF on skin flap viability in rats with DM and CRD. Methods 48 Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into four groups as follows: group I (control), group II (diabetes mellitus), group III (chronic renal disease), and group IV (diabetes with chronic renal disease).Two dorsal flaps were elevated. Flaps on left side of all groups received 0.5 cc of SVF, while same amount of plasma-buffered saline (PBS) was injected into right side. On postoperative day 7, flaps were harvested for macroscopic, histopathologic and biochemical assessments. Areas of flap survival were measured macroscopically. Blood level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was measured after injection of SVF. Results Macroscopically, SVF has significantly improved flap viability (p < 0.05). Flap viability percentage was lower in DM and CRD groups when compared with healthy control group. In respect of new capillary formation, there was a statistically significant difference between SVF injected flaps and PBS injected sides (p < 0.05). Similarly, VEGF levels were higher in all study groups and there was a significant difference in comparison to control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions The study showed that injection of SVF increased flap viability via endothelial differentiation and neovascularization. In vivo function of stem cells might be impaired due to uremia and diabetes-related microenviromental changes.

    Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elastography and Ultrasonographic Findings of Achilles Tendon in Patients With and Without Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: A Cross-Sectional Study
    (2021) Iyidir, Ozlem Turhan; Rahatli, Feride Kural; Bozkus, Yusuf; Ramazanova, Lala; Turnaoglu, Hale; Nar, Asli; Tutuncu, Neslihan Bascil; 0000-0001-5305-6807; 0000-0002-6976-6659; 0000-0003-0998-8388; 0000-0002-1816-3903; 30786314; K-7904-2019; AAA-5419-2021; AAA-2743-2021; ABG-5027-2020
    Aims We aimed to evaluate the elastographic features of Achilles tendon with Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse in patients with and without diabetic neuropathy. Methods According to the presence of peripheral neuropathy, 45 patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into 2 subgroups. Those with peripheral neuropathy were defined as group I (22 patients) and those without peripheral neuropathy were defined as group II (23 patients). A total of thirty age-, gender-, and body mass index-matched healthy individuals were selected as controls. All participants underwent both ultrasonographic and Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse elastographic examination in order to evaluate Achilles Tendon thickness and stiffness. Results Achilles tendon thicknesses were similar between groups (p = 0.991). Achilles tendon thicknesses of both patient groups were significantly higher than the control group (group I vs control p = 0.01; group II vs control p = 0.006). Stiffness values of Achilles tendons were similar between the control group and group II (p = 0.993). Shear Wave Velocity was significantly lower in group I than group II and control group (p < 0.001). Conclusion Diabetic patients with neuropathy have thicker and softer Achilles tendon while the elasticity of Achilles tendon in diabetic patients without neuropathy is similar to the healthy controls. Softening of the Achilles tendon may be an early sign of diabetic foot and reveal the patients with a risk of diabetic foot.

    The relationship between serum irisin levels and erectile dysfunction in diabetic men (irisin and erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients)
    (2021) Kumsar, Sukru; Cigerli, Ozlem; Hasirci, Eray; Akay, Ali F.; Peskircioglu, Levent; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3700-4104; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4147-2966; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0389-9472; 33400308; AAD-5584-2021; AAI-7997-2021; S-4494-2019
    Irisin is an exercise-induced myokine that alleviates endothelial dysfunction and reduces insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted this cross-sectional prospective study to determine the association of serum irisin levels and erectile dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients. We compared 34 diabetic patients with erectile dysfunction with 30 diabetic patients without erectile dysfunction. In our study, serum irisin levels were found to be statistically significantly higher in diabetic patients without erectile dysfunction compared to those with erectile dysfunction (p = .016) and according to correlation analysis, irisin levels had a significantly negative correlation with the serum HbA1C value (r = -.294, p = .018). Based on the results of our study, we think that this molecule can be used in the diagnosis or treatment of erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients, if these findings are supported by larger studies.
