    Aim. To investigate the efficacy of combined therapy of insulin and rosiglitazone on metabolic and inflammatory parameters, insulin sensitivity, and adipocytokine levels in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (type 1 DM). Material and Methods. A total of 61 adults with type 1 DM were randomly and prospectively assigned in open-label fashion to take insulin and rosiglitazone 4mg/day (n - 30) or insulin alone (n = 31) for a period of 18 weeks while undergoing insulin therapy without acute metabolic complications. Results. Combination therapy did not significantly improve metabolic and inflammatory parameters, insulin sensitivity, and adiponectin levels. While leptin and resistin levels decreased in both groups (group 1: resistin 6.96 +/- 3.06 to 4.99 +/- 2.64, P = 0.006; leptin 25.8 +/- 17.6 to 20.1 +/- 12.55, P = 0.006; group 2: resistin 7.16 +/- 2.30 to 5.57 +/- 2.48, P = 0.031; leptin 16.72 +/- 16.1 to 14.0 +/- 13.4, P = 0.007) Hgb and fibrinogen levels decreased only in group 1 (Hgb 13.72 +/- 1.98 to 13.16 +/- 1.98, P = 0.015, and fibrinogen 4.00 +/- 1.08 to 3.46 +/- 0.90, P = 0.002). Patients in both groups showed weight gain and the incidence of hypoglycemia was not lower. Discussion. The diverse favorable effects of TZDs were not fully experienced in patients with type 1 DM. These results are suggesting that insulin sensitizing and anti-inflammatory characteristics of TZDs were likely to be more pronounced in patients who were not totally devoid of endogenous insulin secretion.

    Re-training of type 2 diabetic patients for better adherence to diabetes care plan in oral anti-diabetics and plus insulin treatment groups
    (Aves, 2015-06-01) Cander, Soner; Gül, Özen Öz; Gül, Cuma Bülent; Yavaş, Sibel; Ersoy, Canan; ÖZ GÜL, ÖZEN; ERSOY, CANAN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma Anabilim Dalı.; AAI-1005-2021; AAH-8861-2021
    Purpose: This prospective observational single-centre study was designed to evaluate the effect of patient re-training for better adherence to regular self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), standard diabetic diet and exercise program in ambulatory patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) receiving oral anti-diabetic (OAD) and OAD plus insulin treatments.Material and Method: In this study, we enrolled a total of 61 patients with T2DM in whom ongoing therapy with OAD (n=34) and OAD+insulin (n=27) failed to achieve adequate glycemic control. The patients were educated for lifestyle behavior, adherence to diet and exercise therapy, close monitoring with SMBG without change in their ongoing drugs and dosing. Changes in glycemic parameters, serum lipids and anthropometrics at the end of 3rd month were compared between the treatment groups.Results: During the course of the study, a significant decrease in the body weight and fat were observed in OAD (p<0.001 and p=0.002) and OAD+insulin groups (p=0.044 and p=0.008, respectively). A significant decrease in the HbA1c % (6.1%; 8.2% to 7.6%) was observed in the overall population (p<0.001) as well as in OAD (p=0.011) and OAD+ insulin (p=0.001) groups. A significant decrease was noted in the post-prandial capillary blood glucose levels in only OAD+insulin group.Discussion: Re-training approach with close follow-up and frequent SMBG seems to be important factors for the maintenance of achieved glycemic control. In our study, the effect of diabetes education on postprandial capillary blood glucose levels was more pronounced in OAD+ insulin group.

    Flatbush diabetes: A report of two cases and a review of the literature
    (Galenos Yayincilik, 2009-01-01) ÖZ GÜL, ÖZEN; Güçlü, Metin; Tuncel, Ercan; İmamoğlu, Sazi; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0001-5082-9894; ABI-4847-2020; AAI-1005-2021
    Type 2 diabetes is an endocrine and metabolic disorder appearing with insulin resistance and impaired beta cell secretory function. Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which leads to absolute insulin deficiency. Diabetic ketoacidosis is considered a cardinal feature of type 1 diabetes. A number of studies have demonstrated that diabetic ketoacidosis also occurs in subjects with type 2 diabetes. Such patients are classified as idiopathic type 1 diabetes, type 1B diabetes, Flatbush diabetes or ketosis-prone type 2 diabetes. The aim of our study was to present two patients, who were diagnosed with ketosis-prone type 2 DM, as well as to discuss the subject in the light of the extant literature and to be able to make general recommendations.

    Association between p16(cdkn2a) c540g polymorphism and tumor behavior in prolactinoma: A single-center study
    (Spandidos Publ Ltd, 2014-07-01) Karkucak, Mutlu; Gül, Özen Öz; ÖZ GÜL, ÖZEN; Yakut, Tahsin; Sağ, Şebnem Özemri; ÖZEMRİ SAĞ, ŞEBNEM; Ersoy, Canan; ERSOY, CANAN; Tuncel, Ercan; Ertürk, Erdinç; ERTÜRK, ERDİNÇ; Cander, Soner; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Genetik Anabilim Dalı.; AAJ-6536-2021; AAH-8861-2021; AAI-1005-2021; ABI-5648-2022; AAH-8355-2021
    Pituitary tumors usually originate as benign sporadic adenomas and develop into invasive and aggressive tumors such as prolactinomas, which are common functioning pituitary adenomas. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the tumor behavior in prolactinomas and the p16(CDKN2A) gene polymorphism occurring at the 3'-untranslated region of exon 3 (C540G). A total of 104 patients with prolactinoma were included and assigned to two groups based on invasive vs. non-invasive tumor behavior. Ki67 indices were recorded according to histopathology results. Genotypic analysis of the p16( CDKN2A) C540G polymorphism was carried out using a modified polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. The corresponding frequencies for CC, CG and GG genotypes in non-invasive vs. invasive tumors were 61.5, 30.8, 7.7 and 64.1, 28.2, 7.7%, respectively ( not significant). The observed CG genotype frequency was higher compared with previous studies. In addition, the patients with giant adenomas or a high Ki67 index had a higher frequency of the CG genotype as compared with the other subgroups, although the differences were not significant (46.2 and 42.9%, respectively). In conclusion, a higher frequency of the C540G CG genotype of the CDKN2A gene was found among patients with prolactinoma in comparison with previous studies. These frequencies were also higher in the subgroups with elevated Ki67 or giant adenomas. Further studies are required to improve the definition of the role of the CG genotype in the development and progression of tumors in prolactinomas.

    Pituitary tuberculosis is a rare condition that can present with hypopituitarism even without any evidence of systemic tuberculosis and is easily confused with pituitary adenomas. Headache and hypopituitarism are the most common presenting symptoms. We report the case of pituitary tuberculosis in a 39-year-old male patient who presented with panhypopituitarism. Although it is rare and difficult to diagnose, pituitary tuberculosis should be considered in every nonfunctional sellar masses, especially in fairly small ones with unexpected hypopituitarism.

    Can diabetes insipidus be used as a marker for multisystemic and progressive disease in langerhans cell histiocytosis?
    (Kuwait Medical Assoc, 2021-12-01) Koca, Nizameddin; Cander, Soner; CANDER, SONER; Gul, Ozen Oz; ÖZ GÜL, ÖZEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0003-1457-4366; 0000-0002-1332-4165; V-9228-2017
    Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease with an yearly incidence of nine cases per a million in children and 1-2 cases per a million adults. 68.6% of LCH presented with multisystem involvement. A 40-year-old woman who was admitted to endocrinology outpatient clinic with symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia and headache was diagnosed with diabetes insipidus (DI). Desmopressin treatment was initiated, but six months after therapy, re-evaluation revealed progression in hypophyseal mass. Thoracoscopic biopsy shows LCH with multisystemic involvement. She did not respond clinically to systemic chemotherapy and external radiotherapy and died due to pneumonia.LCH should be taken into consideration in patients diagnosed with DI. DI is almost always the hallmark of hypothalamic pituitary axis involvement and a sign of multisystemic involvement.

    Background Global COVID-19 outbreak has been such a stressful experience for most of the people. Using a web-based cross-sectional study, we aimed to evaluate the acute stress response, depression, and anxiety in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to examine the effect of these psychiatric problems on diet habits and glycemic controls of patients. Methods This web-based survey of COVID-19 was sent to the patients through the Whatsapp platform. All participants reported their demographic data, diabetes-related information, changes in self-monitoring blood glucose measurements, physical parameters, and eating habits after COVID-19, then completed Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Impact of Event Scale, Revised (IES-R) questionnaires which assessed acute stress sypmtoms, anxiety, and depression. Results Three hundred and four patients with DM [(141 type 1 DM (T1D) and 163 type 2 (T2D)] were included in the study. In our study, female gender, higher BMI and weight, decreased in financial income after outbreak, presence of diabetic complications and comorbid diseases (i.e., retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic foot, hypertension, dyslipidemia), worsened glycemic levels, increased carbohydrate consumption, and snacking were associated with higher anxiety and depression scores. Depression was higher in patients with T2D and duration of illness was correlated with acute stress level. Conclusions It is important to be aware of the possibility of acute stress, depression, and anxiety after pandemic in patients with DM whose glycemic control is impaired. Psychological problems should not be ignored beyond physical inactivity and worsening eating habits.

    Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare sporadic disease characterized by histiocytic neoplastic infiltration of various organ systems and a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from benign and self-limiting to lethal. Herein, we report a rare case of adult-onset multi-systemic LCH in a 36-year-old male patient with an initial perianal presentation and incidental finding of subsequent thyroid gland involvement in the follow-up period. The patient with a history of perianal LCH treated with surgical excision and local radiotherapy was referred to our Endocrinology Department upon detection of hypermetabolic nodular lesions in the left lateral lobe of thyroid gland on positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT)scan in the nineth month of follow-up. Current evaluation revealed euthyroid status, a hypoechoic solid lesion of 13 x 9 mm in size with irregular borders in the left thyroid lobe on thyroid USG and cytologic assessment of thyroid nodule. The patient was diagnosed with suspected, oncocytic lesion, Hashimoto thyroiditis or LCH. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy and pathological assessment confirmed the diagnosis of Langerhans cell histiocytosis. Assessments in the sixth month of postoperative follow-up revealed euthyroid status with no thyroid tissue remnants or pathological lymph node on thyroid USG. In view of the multifocal lesions indicating multi-system disease, a systemic chemotherapy protocol with combination of prednisone (PRED) and vinblastine (VBL) has been planned by the hematology department.

    Insulinoma case admitted with reactive hypoglycemia symptoms
    (Bentham Science Publ, 2020-01-01) Koca, Nizameddin; Ugraş, Nesrin; Cander, Soner; CANDER, SONER; Gül, Ozen Oz; ÖZ GÜL, ÖZEN; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Patoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma Anabilim Dalı.; AAI-1005-2021
    Aim: To present an insulinoma case with post-prandial hypoglycemic symptoms associated with glucose inducible endogenous hyperinsulinemia.Case: A 52-year-old female patient was evaluated for hypoglycemic symptoms especially those occuring within 3 hours after consuming sugary foods. These symptoms were persistent for a year and a half. She was diagnosed with reactive (post-prandial) syndrome and followed a recommended diet and was given acarbose but there was no improvement. The results suggested post-prandial endogenous hyperinsulinemia related hypoglycemia. Multiphasic computerized tomography revealed an 11x15x12 mm size mass lesion, anteriorly in the head and uncinate process of the pancreas and then the patients were treated surgically with pancreatic enucleation and cured.Conclusion: Distinguishing post-prandial syndrome by careful history and clinical evaluation in patients with postprandial symptoms is of great importance in terms of cost-effectivity. However, it should not be forgotten that although organic pathologies are mostly presented with fasting hypoglycemia, they may also cause post-prandial symptoms. Severity and progression of the symptoms that point to neuroglycopenia is important, and in this condition the most convenient clinical approach to the patient should be performed with careful and appropriate assessment steps.

    (Carbone Editore, 2015-03-30) Gül, Cuma Bülent; Yıldız, Abdülmecit; Gül, Özen Öz; Hartavi, Mustafa; Cander, Soner; Eroğlu, Ayça; Keni, Nermin; Bayındir, Ayşenur; Ersoy, Alparslan; Ersoy, Canan; YILDIZ, ABDULMECİT; ÖZ GÜL, ÖZEN; Hartavi, Mustafa; CANDER, SONER; Eroğlu, Ayça; Keni, Nermin; Bayındır, Ayşenur; ERSOY, ALPARSLAN; ERSOY, CANAN; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nefroloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-0710-0923; AAI-1005-2021; AAH-5054-2021; AAH-8861-2021; HIG-9032-2022; CUI-5353-2022; HUR-0563-2023; COU-0270-2022; FEA-3241-2022; CFL-1808-2022
    Introduction: Although epidemiologic studies suggest a link between serum uric acid (SUA) and vascular complications in diabetes, the relationship of uric acid with diabetic nephropathy remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between SUA and the degree of albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).Materials and methods: The cross-sectional study included 223 T2D patients. Nephropathy was graded as follows: nor-moalbuminuria, urinary albumin excretion (UAE) less than 30 mg per gram of creatinine (mg/g Cr); microalbuminuria, 30 to 300 mg/g Cr; or macroalbuminuria, more than 300 mg/g Cr. SUA was measured using a uricase-peroxidase enzymatic method.Results: The degree of nephropathy was as follows: normoalbuminuria in 163 subjects, microalbuminuria in 45 subjects, and macroalbuminuria in 15 patients. SUA did not differ significantly according to the degree of albuminuria. In addition, multivariable analysis demonstrated that hyperuricemia was not an independent predictor of neither microalbuminuria nor macroalbuminuria in T2D patients.Conclusion: Hyperuricemia does not reflect the severity of nephropathy in T2D patients.
