Metabolic control in newly kidney transplanted insulin-dependent diabetics: improvement by insulin pump treatment (CSII).
Management of glucose homeostasis in newly kidney transplanted insulin-dependent diabetic patients is difficult. To examine whether continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) could reverse this problem, six consecutive kidney-transplanted Type I diabetic patients either proceeded with conventional insulin therapy (CIT) or were changed to CSII beginning on the third postoperative day. After a mean of 13 days, the insulin administration mode was changed from CIT to CSII (n = 3) or from CSII to CIT (n = 3), and continued for a further 15 days. Mean blood glucose calculated on the basis of four daily measurements (8.00, 12.00, 17.00, 22.00 h) during the study periods was significantly lower during CSII (8.0 +/- 0.4 mmol/l, mean +/- SEM) than on CIT (11.0 +/- 0.6 mmol/l; p less than 0.005). Moreover, the variability of blood glucose expressed as the M-value was lower during the pump treatment compared to CIT (p less than 0.001), while the number of blood glucose values below 3.0 mmol/l was similar (3.8 vs. 4.4%). Diurnal metabolic and hormonal profiles were twice determined on each regimen with 2 hourly sampling. Glycemic control was again found to be improved during CSII therapy as compared to CIT (p less than 0.01 or 0.05 less than p less than 0.10). Moreover, insulin pump treatment resulted in a significant reduction of two major intermediary metabolites, lactate and glycerol (p less than 0.05 and p less than 0.01, respectively).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

DNA profiles of chimeric twins, TS and MR using the single-locus-probe technique.
A pair of blood-group-chimeric twins, TS and MR and their family have been investigated with the single-locus-probe DNA technique for restriction fragment length polymorphism in five variable-numbers-of-tandem-repeat systems. An admixture of DNA from the other twin could be demonstrated in both twins, leading to a possible false-genotype determination in at least one system. Chimerism is a potential pitfall in DNA investigations with single-locus probes in forensic genetics.

Insulin action in insulin-dependent diabetics after short-term thiazide therapy.
The influence of short-term thiazide treatment on peripheral tissue and liver sensitivity to insulin in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus was determined by the euglycemic insulin clamp technique. A sequential three-step hyperinsulinemic clamp was performed in six insulin-dependent diabetics before and after 2 wk of hydroflumethiazide (HFT) administration in a daily dose of 75 mg. Insulin was infused at rates of 0.5, 2.0, and 4.0 mU X kg-1 X min-1, and each dose was given for at least 120 min. Glucose uptake during the last 30 min of each step was almost identical in the two situations (2.7 +/- 0.6 vs. 2.4 +/- 0.5 mg X kg-1 X min-1, 9.6 +/- 0.9 vs. 9.7 +/- 1.2 mg X kg-1 X min-1, and 12.0 +/- 1.3 vs. 12.6 +/- 1.5 mg X kg-1 X min-1). Serum insulin levels were also similar, and blood glucose was kept at 100 +/- 3, 99 +/- 4, and 97 +/- 3 mg/dl before thiazides and at 93 +/- 6, 93 +/- 6, and 94 +/- 6 mg/dl after thiazides. Another five insulin-dependent diabetics were infused with tritiated glucose followed by insulin infusion at two rates: 0.45 and 1.0 mU X kg-1 X min-1. Basal glucose output was comparable before and after thiazides (3.63 +/- 0.24 vs. 2.97 +/- 0.26 mg X kg-1 X min-1), as was the liver response to increasing insulin concentrations. The metabolic state as assessed by HbA1c and fasting blood glucose did not differ in the two experiments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Ovulation in uremic women: the reproductive cycle in women on chronic hemodialysis.
We studied five uremic women of fertile age and on chronic intermittent haemodialysis over a 3-month period. The purpose of this investigation was to establish how often the hormonal pattern indicated ovulation in uremic women and, thereby, the possibility of an inexpedient pregnancy. The pituitary ovarian axis was estimated by analyzing the serum concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteotropic hormone, progesterone, estradiol, and prolactin. Forty percent of the investigated cycles seemed to be ovulatory, though with a slightly atypical hormonal pattern. Because of these factors, it is recommended that sexually active women of fertile age and on chronic intermittent hemodialysis consider the use of contraception in order to avoid unwanted pregnancies.
