    Extractions: Diabetic Neuropathies: The Nerve Damage of Diabetes On this page: D iabetic neuropathies are a family of nerve disorders caused by diabetes. People with diabetes can, over time, have damage to nerves throughout the body. Neuropathies lead to numbness and sometimes pain and weakness in the hands, arms, feet, and legs. Problems may also occur in every organ system, including the digestive tract, heart, and sex organs. People with diabetes can develop nerve problems at any time, but the longer a person has diabetes, the greater the risk. An estimated 50 percent of those with diabetes have some form of neuropathy, but not all with neuropathy have symptoms. The highest rates of neuropathy are among people who have had the disease for at least 25 years. Diabetic neuropathy also appears to be more common in people who have had problems controlling their blood glucose levels, in those with high levels of blood fat and blood pressure, in overweight people, and in people over the age of 40. The most common type is peripheral neuropathy, also called distal symmetric neuropathy, which affects the arms and legs. Top The causes are probably different for different varieties of diabetic neuropathy. Researchers are studying the effect of glucose on nerves to find out exactly how prolonged exposure to high glucose causes neuropathy. Nerve damage is likely due to a combination of factors:

28. Mononeuropathy In Diabetes Mellitus
    Diabetic cranial neuropathies usually affect CN 3 or 6. Like treatment forother diabetic neuropathies, treatment is symptomatic.  
    http://home.uchicago.edu/~adamcifu/mononeuropathy.htm
    
    Extractions: If sought, evidence of neuropathy can be found in a majority of diabetics within 10 years of diagnosis. The forms of neuropathy are usually divided into, by order of frequency, polyneuropathies (primarily symmetric and sensory), autonomic neuropathies, and mononeuropathies. Diabetic amyotrophy, an uncommon syndrome defined by the triad of pain, severe asymmetric muscle weakness (usually of the lower extremities), and wasting of the iliopsoas and quadriceps, falls under the heading of the polyneuropathies. There has never been complete agreement about the etiology diabetic neuropathy. The mononeuropathies are most likely ischemic in nature, as suggested by the tendency toward nerves susceptible to compression and and toward fiber subtypes with the more tenuous blood supply. The polyneuropathies are thought to be caused by a combination of ischemia and abnormal nerve metabolism. Mononeuropathies Although there is no great prevalence data, mononeuropathies are known to be more common among diabetics than non-diabetics. One half to one percent of diabetics are expected to have a mononeuropathy at some point. Symptoms are generally localized to common sites of nerve entrapment (supporting the hypothesis that nerve injury occurs when an already tenuous blood supply is further compromised by external compression or nerve swelling). The sights of most common involvement are shown in the table below. This comes from a study which enrolled the 51 patients who presented to a large diabetes with mononeuropathies over the course of 3 years.

    Extractions: Transgenic Mouse Models to Study the Molecular Basis of Diabetic Neuropathy Dr S K Chung Institute of Molecular Biology HKU 359/94M INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Generation of P0-HAR transgenic mice A 1.1 Kb of myelin protein zero promoter was fused with human aldose reductase cDNA (1.4 Kb) and ?globin poly A (P0-HAR-1) or SV-40 poly A tails (P0-HAR-2). These transgenes were injected into the fertilized eggs from F1 mice to generate transgenic mice. Screening the mice by PCR Transgenic mice were identified by PCR screening of genomic DNA extracted from the tail by using the two-transgene specific primers (RPO and HARm), and also a set of primers (MMYO-1 and MMYO-2) for myogenin as a internal control. The sizes of expected products were 661bp and 252bp, respectively. Southern blot hybridization In order to analyze the integration of transgene and screen the genotypes of transgenic mice, mouse tail genomic DNA was digested using a specific enzyme having a single cut site within transgene fragment (EcoRV), then hybridized with two probes of HAR (1.4 Kb) to detect transgene and MSD (0.9 Kb) to serve as a control. Northern blot hybridization For examining HAR-specific expression in sciatic nerve, the total RNA were extracted from different tissues of 10 wks old mice (30 of NTg and 30 of Tg), and processed for Northern blot hybridization with HAR or G3PDH probe.

    Extractions: Introduction Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is the most common and troublesome complication of diabetes mellitus, leading to the greatest morbidity and mortality and resulting in a huge economic burden for diabetes care(1;2). It is the most common form of neuropathy in the developed countries of the world, accounts for more hospitalizations than all the other diabetic complications combined, and is responsible for 50-75% of non-traumatic amputations (2;3). DN is a set of clinical syndromes that affect distinct regions of the nervous system, singly or combined. It may be silent and go undetected, while exercising its ravages, or it may present with clinical symptoms and signs that although nonspecific and insidious with slow progression but also mimic those seen in many other diseases. It is, therefore, diagnosed by exclusion. Classification DN is not a single entity but a number of different syndromes, ranging from subclinical to clinical manifestations depending on the classes of nerve fibers involved. According to the San Antonio Convention (10), the main groups of neurologic disturbance in diabetes mellitus include: 1) subclinical neuropathy, determined by abnormalities in electrodiagnostic and quantitative sensory testing, 2) diffuse clinical neuropathy with distal symmetric sensorimotor and autonomic syndromes, and 3) focal syndromes.

    Painful diabetic neuropathy can come on in the very earliest stages of diabetes, New developments in the diagnosis of diabetic neuropathy.  
    http://neuroskinbiopsy.mgh.harvard.edu/smallfiber.htm
    
    Extractions: Rapid progress is being made in this field, which will hopefully lead to better treatments. Some patients with painful small-fiber sensory neuropathies have underlying causes that can be treated. It is important to look for these causes, because treating them may help reverse the nerve damage. In the United States, diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) is a leading cause of painful neuropathy. Painful diabetic neuropathy can come on in the very earliest stages of diabetes, before any other symptoms of the disease develop and before the diabetes has even been diagnosed. So patients with painful neuropathy should be tested for diabetes. Heavy alcohol drinking can also damage nerves and should be avoided by neuropathy patients. HIV or AIDS can cause neuropathy, as can some of the drugs used to treat HIV.

Diabetes mellitus is the commonest cause of neuropathy worldwide. Diabetic neuropathy (DN) develops in about 4-10% of diabetic patients after 5 years and in 15% after 20 years.Four main mechanisms have been postulated to underlie the pathogenesis of DN. Diabetic neuropathy can be divided into symmetrical and asymmetrical neuropathies. Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy (DAN) parallels the severity of DSN, and affects primarily the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary and integumentary systems. The cornerstone of treatment of diabetic neuropathy is optimization of glycaemic control. Future treatments for diabetic neuropathy should address the underlying pathogenesis.

Peripheral neuropathy (damage to the peripheral nerves) is a relatively common neurological disorder that can occur as the result of a wide range of underlying conditions or diseases. Diabetes is perhaps the most common – approximately 50 per cent of diabetics suffer from diabetic neuropathy. Other conditions that cause peripheral neuropathy include autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis; infections such as leprosy or AIDS; pressure on a nerve; certain toxic substances, including alcohol; vitamin deficiency; radiation; trauma (eg bone fractures or penetrative injuries); and tumours of the spinal cord. Inherited neuropathies such as Charcot Marie Tooth disease are also common. However, in many cases, no underlying disorder can be diagnosed. Symptoms of the disorder vary in severity, according to the number of nerves affected. Symptoms may be limited to a single finger or toe, but generally, the arms or legs are affected, although rarely the whole body may be affected. Weakness and numbness in the affected limb or limbs may be accompanied by abnormal sensations (paresthesia) – that is, tingling, “pins and needles”, burning, pain etc. Frequently the symptoms are worse at night.
