Abstract
INTRODUCTION Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease and powerful predictor for new-onset heart failure (HF). AREAS COVERED We focus on the relevant literature covering evidence of risk stratification based on imaging predictors and circulating biomarkers to optimize approaches to preventing HF in DM patients. EXPERT OPINION Multiple diagnostic algorithms based on echocardiographic parameters of cardiac remodeling including global longitudinal strain/strain rate are likely to be promising approach to justify individuals at higher risk of incident HF. Signature of cardiometabolic status may justify HF risk among T2DM individuals with low levels of natriuretic peptides, which preserve their significance in HF with clinical presentation. However, diagnostic and predictive values of conventional guideline-directed biomarker HF strategy may be non-optimal in patients with obesity and T2DM. Alternative biomarkers affecting cardiac fibrosis, inflammation, myopathy, and adipose tissue dysfunction are plausible tools for improving accuracy natriuretic peptides among T2DM patients at higher HF risk. In summary, risk identification and management of the patients with T2DM with established HF require conventional biomarkers monitoring, while the role of alternative biomarker approach among patients with multiple CV and metabolic risk factors appears to be plausible tool for improving clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects approximately 20-40% of individuals with diabetes. Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, emerging as novel hypoglycemic agents, have demonstrated significant cardiorenal protective effects in patients with DKD. Initially, it was believed that the efficacy of SGLT-2 inhibitors declined as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased, which led to their preferential use in DKD patients at G1-G3 stages. However, recent findings from the DAPA-CKD and EMPA-KIDNEY studies have revealed equally beneficial cardiorenal effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors in individuals at stage G4 DKD, although the underlying mechanism behind this phenomenon remains unclear. In this comprehensive analysis, we provide a systematic review of the mechanisms and functioning of SGLT-2 inhibitors, potential renal protection mechanisms, and the therapeutic efficacy and safety of SGLT-2 inhibitors in kidney diseases, with a particular focus on stage G4 DKD. Gaining a deeper understanding of the renal protective effect of SGLT-2 inhibitors and their underlying mechanisms is highly significance for the successful utilization of these inhibitors in the treatment of diverse kidney disorders.

Abstract
With the continuous evolution of insect resistance, it is a tremendous challenge to control the fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) with traditional insecticides. To solve this pending issue, a series of novel isoxazoline derivatives containing diaryl ether structures were designed and synthesized, and most of the target compounds exhibited excellent insecticidal activity. Based on the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model analysis, we further optimized the molecular structure with compound L35 obtained and tested for its activity. Compound L35 (LC50 = 1.69 mg/L) exhibited excellent insecticidal activity against S. frugiperda, which was better than those of commercial fipronil (LC50 = 70.78 mg/L) and indoxacarb (LC50 = 5.37 mg/L). The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that L35 could upregulate the levels of GABA in insects. In addition, molecular docking and transcriptomic results also indicated that compound L35 may affect the nervous system of S. frugiperda by acting on GABA receptors. Notably, through high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), we were able to obtain the two enantiomers of compound L35, and the insecticidal activity test revealed that S-(+)-L35 was 44 times more active than R-(-)-L35 against S. frugiperda. This study established the chemistry basis and mechanistic foundations for the future development of pesticide candidates against fall armyworms.

Abstract
Early identification of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) can help clinicians develop targeted treatment plans and forensic pathologists make accurate postmortem diagnoses. In the present study, diabetes-induced metabolic abnormalities in the myocardium and biofluids (plasma, urine, and saliva) of db/db mice of various ages (7, 12, and 21 weeks) were investigated by attenuated total reflection (ATR)-Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results indicated that the diabetic and control groups had significantly different changes in the function groups of lipids, phosphate macromolecules (mostly nucleic acids), protein compositions and conformations, and carbohydrates (primarily glucose) in the myocardium and biofluids. The prediction model for quantifying DCM severity was developed on db/db mice's myocardial spectra using a genetic algorithm (GA)-partial least squares (PLS) regression method. Following that, the linear correlations between the predicted values for DCM severity and spectra for db/db biofluids were evaluated using the GA-PLS regression algorithm. The results showed there were good linear correlations between the predicted values for DCM severity and spectra for plasma (R2 = 0.929), saliva (R2 = 0.967), urine (R2 = 0.954), and combination of plasma and saliva (R2 = 0.980). This study provides a novel perspective on detecting diabetes-related biofluid and cardiac metabolic abnormalities and demonstrates the potential of biofluid infrared spectro-diagnostic models for non/mini-invasive assessment of DCM.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have risen steadily worldwide, particularly in low-income and developing countries. In the last hundred years, deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases increased rapidly to 35–40%, becoming the most common cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is aggravated by hypertension. Hypertension and diabetes are closely interlinked since they have similar risk factors such as endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, arterial remodeling, atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia, and obesity. Patients with high blood pressure often show insulin resistance and have a higher risk of developing diabetes than normotensive individuals. It has been observed that over the last 30 years, the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) has increased significantly. Accordingly, hypertension and insulin resistance are strongly related to an increased risk of impaired glucose tolerance, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and endocrine disorders. Common mechanisms, for instance, upregulation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, oxidative stress, inflammation, and activation of the immune system, possibly have a role in the association between diabetes and hypertension. Altogether these abnormalities significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes is the fifth leading cause of death in the People's Republic of China. The aim of the article is to compare the effects of nursing care on the laboratory findings and ultrasound results of diabetic patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD) who were treated with antiglycemic drugs. METHODS Diabetic were patients treated with metformin hydrochloride in combination with gliclazide, pioglitazone hydrochloride, sitagliptin, exenatide or liraglutide. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was evaluated by abdominal ultrasound, and fibrosis stages were evaluated at baseline and 8 months. All the patients were equally divided into two groups depending on the therapeutic approach. RESULTS The first group of patients additionally received nursing care, and the second group adhered to the prescribed therapy on their own. In total 90 patients, or 55.6%, had NAFLD at baseline, and its course was dependent upon changes in the weight (P = 0.009) and waist circumference (P = 0.012). The proportions of patients who demonstrated an ultrasonographic improvement in the control group were: 24 (56.8%) with gliclazide, 15 (41.3%) with pioglitazone hydrochloride, 28 (66.1%) with sitagliptin, 16 (79%) with exenatide and 15 (66.7%) with liraglutide (P = 0.2). For the group that received nursing care an ultrasonographic improvement was in: 29 (68.16%) with gliclazide, 18 (49.56%) with pioglitazone hydrochloride, 33 (79.32%) with sitagliptin, 19 (94.8%) with exenatide and 21 80.04% with liraglutide (P = 0.2). CONCLUSIONS Outcomes from the type 2 diabetes treatment paralleling of CLD were presented. Treatment of type 2 diabetes with pioglitazone hydrochloride, gliclazide, sitagliptin, liraglutide and exenatide was proven effective.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common complications of diabetes, and diabetic cardiomyopathy is a major cause of people death in diabetes. Molecular, transcriptional, animal, and clinical studies have discovered numerous therapeutic targets or drugs for diabetic cardiomyopathy. Within this, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous gasotransmitter alongside with nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO), is found to play a critical role in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Recently, the protective roles of H2S in diabetic cardiomyopathy have attracted enormous attention. In addition, H2S donors confer favorable effects in myocardial infarction, ischaemia-reperfusion injury, and heart failure under diabetic conditions. Further studies have disclosed that multiplex molecular mechanisms are responsible for the protective effects of H2S against diabetes-elicited cardiac injury, such as anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-necrotic properties. In this review, we will summarize the current findings on H2S biology and pharmacology, especially focusing on the novel mechanisms of H2S-based protection against diabetic cardiomyopathy. Also, the potential roles of H2S in diabetes-aggravated ischaemia-reperfusion injury are discussed.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have showed that nephropathy was associated with cardiac structural changes and dysfunction among diabetic adults. However, information on the association of glomerular filtration dysfunction with the cardiac adverse remodeling is still limited in menopausal diabetic women. Therefore, we investigated whether impaired glomerular filtration function is associated with the cardiac adverse remodeling in menopausal Chinese women with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods A total of 1231 hospitalized menopausal Chinese women with type 2 DM were collected retrospectively. The cross-sectional data of echocardiography were compared among estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) categorized groups. Results In menopausal diabetic women, moderate to severe glomerular filtration dysfunction (eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73m2) was found to be associated with enlarged left-side atrioventricular chambers, increased ventricular wall thickness, decreased cardiac function and dilated right ventricle (All P < 0.05). Conclusion Glomerular filtration dysfunction is associated with cardiac adverse structural remodeling and dysfunction in menopausal Chinese women with type 2 DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease is a global health problem that is closely related to the aging population. Although plasma glucose levels have been shown to be related to renal dysfunction, risk factors for renal functional impairment in the geriatric population are unknown. The authors therefore aimed to investigate the determinants of renal functional impairment in an elderly population. METHODS From June 2014 to August 2015, 912 participants (aged > 65 years) were recruited. Renal function was assessed at baseline; follow-up was conducted in 2016. Within the framework of comprehensive cardiovascular examinations, all conventional cardiovascular risk factors, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and renal function were assessed. Renal function was evaluated by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR) using a modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula. Rapid decline in e-GFR was defined as an e-GFR slope > 5 mL/min per 1.73 m2 per year. RESULTS We observed that FPG levels were significantly higher in participants with (6.15 ± 2.76 mmol/L) than in those without (5.56 ± 1.61 mmol/L) a rapid decline in e-GFR (p = 0.02). The average decline in e-GFR was 0.149 mL/min/1.73m2 per year in this elderly population, and the increasing risk of having rapid decline in e-GFR was 0.44-fold each year. In the full adjustment model, decline in e-GFR (p = 0.02) and rapid decline in e-GFR (OR1.33, 95% CI 1.03-1.72) were significantly associated with FPG, independent of other conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Using the same models, decline in e-GFR (p = 0.04) and rapid decline in e-GFR (OR 1.57, 95% CI 1.05-2.35) were also significantly associated with FPG in diabetic population, but they were not in non-diabetic population. CONCLUSIONS In community-dwelling elderly Chinese, the average decline in e-GFR was 0.149 mL/min/1.73m2 per year. FPG control is important for delaying renal functional impairment in elderly population. Trial registration NSS, NCT02368938.

Abstract
Diabetic Endotheliopathy is widely regarded as a principal contributor to cardiovascular disease pathogenesis in individuals with Diabetes mellitus. The endothelium, the innermost lining of blood vessels, consists of an extensive monolayer of endothelial cells. Previously regarded as an interface, the endothelium is now accepted as an organ system with critical roles in vascular health; its dysfunction therefore is detrimental. Endothelial dysfunction induces blood vessel damage resulting in a restriction of blood and oxygen supply to tissues, the central pathology of cardiovascular disease. Hyperglycemic conditions have repeatedly been isolated as a pivotal inducer of endothelial cell dysfunction. Numerous studies have since proven hyperglycemic conditions to significantly alter the gene expression profile of endothelial cells, with this being largely attributable to the post-transcriptional regulation of RNA-binding proteins. In particular, the RBP Quaking-7 has recently emerged as a crucial mediator of diabetic endotheliopathy, with great potential to become a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Dietary phytochemicals are considered an innovative strategy that helps to reduce cardiovascular risk factors. Some phytochemicals have been shown to play a beneficial role in lipid metabolism, to improve endothelial function and to modify oxidative stress pathways in experimental and clinical models of cardiovascular impairment. Importantly, investigation on phytochemical effect on cardiac remodeling appears to be promising. Nowadays, drug therapy and implantation of devices have demonstrated to ameliorate survival. Of interest, sex-gender seems to influence the response to HF canonical therapies. In fact, starting by the evidence of the feminization of world population and the scarce efficacy and safety of the traditional drugs in women, the search of alternative therapeutic tools has become mandatory. The aim of this review is to summarize the possible role of dietary phytochemicals in HF therapy and the evidence of a different sex-gender-oriented response.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has gone beyond the professional interests of one specialty. T2DM, cardiovascular (CV) diseases and chronic kidney disease, considered from the standpoint of a single cardio-reno-metabolic continuum, place a heavy economic burden on society. At the same time, the improvement of diagnostic methods and medical technologies led to distinct decrease in the frequency and mortality from a number of complications of T2DM, including myocardial infarction and stroke, but other states took their place. Thus, heart failure (HF) has taken the position of one of the most frequent complications with average prevalence of 24-40 % and significant predominance of HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). According to this paradigm, HFpEF is not a disease of diastolic dysfunction, but a systemic disease, the central element of which is impaired renal function. All this together has a potential value for choosing the optimal therapy. In recent years the results of specially designed studies assessing the CV-safety of antidiabetic drugs from the groups of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors, glucagon-like preptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and sodium - glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have become known. These drugs, except for SGLT2 inhibitors, by their mechanism of action affecting insulin resistance and hyperglycemia, demonstrated neutral or negative result on the frequency of hospitalizations due to HF. The EMPA-REG OUTCOME study with SGLT2, which has a special insulin-independent mechanism of action, demonstrated not only the efficacy and CV-safety of the drug in the form of a decrease in CV mortality by 38 %, but also a decrease in hospitalizations for HF by 35 %. Further studies with SGLT2 inhibitors confirmed positive effect on HF, indicating a class effect of the drugs. The recently completed study DECLARE-TIMI 58 proved the advantages of using dapagliflozin for the primary and secondary prevention of HF. This review highlights the prevalence of HF in diabetes mellitus, a new concept of the pathophysiology of HF, the main groups of sugar-lowering drugs and their effect on CV outcomes, in particular on HF.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) has become increasingly common within the elderly population, decreasing their survival and overall quality of life. In fact, despite the improvements in treatment, many elderly people suffer from cardiac dysfunction (HF, valvular diseases, arrhythmias or hypertension-induced cardiac hypertrophy) that are much more common in an older fragile heart. Since β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling is abnormal in failing as well as aged hearts, this pathway is an effective diagnostic and therapeutic target. Both HF and aging are characterized by activation/hyperactivity of various neurohormonal pathways, the most important of which is the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). SNS hyperactivity is initially a compensatory mechanism to stimulate contractility and maintain cardiac output. Unfortunately, this chronic stimulation becomes detrimental and causes decreased cardiac function as well as reduced inotropic reserve due to a decrease in cardiac β-ARs responsiveness. Therapies which (e.g., β-blockers and physical activity) restore β-ARs responsiveness can ameliorate cardiac performance and outcomes during HF, particularly in older patients. In this review, we will discuss physiological β-adrenergic signaling and its alterations in both HF and aging as well as the potential clinical application of targeting β-adrenergic signaling in these disease processes.
