The Early Warning System for the Diabetic Encephalopathy

July 12, 2022 updated by: Tang-Du Hospital

The Early Warning System for the Central Nervous System Micro-structure Alterations During Early Diabetes Based on the Multi-mode MRIs

Diabetes( mainly type II diabetes )lead to the central nervous system (CNS) function impairment, especially the mild cognitive impairment that increased the risk of progression to dementia.The primary objectives are defined according to a hierarchical design: i) to tailor and apply multi-parametric, functional MRI techniques to identify cerebral abnormalities (cerebral biomarkers) in type 2 diabetes mellitus and prodromal diabetes mellitus ; ii) to assess whether these cerebral biomarkers are associated with cognitive decrements;iii) to follow up with the putative prediabetic condition patients to verify whether they can transform into diabetes.

Detailed Description

Diabetes ( mainly type II diabetes ) lead to the central nervous system (CNS) function impairment, especially the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) that increased the risk of progression to dementia. It was regarded that neurodegeneration contributes to the diabetic MCI, however, recent research suggested that CNS microvascular alterations are the mechanism for early diabetic MCI. But there still lacks an early warning system for the CNS micro-structure alterations during early diabetes. Latest neuroimaging techniques enable the measurement of brain blood flow, local neural activity，and the nuclei deposition of iron to reflect CNS micro-structure alterations. But these techniques are complicated and can not fully reflect the alterations with one single technique.We previous observed that 44.4% of diabetic patients demonstrate MCI and established the comprehensive protocols of measuring brain blood flow, local neural activity and the nuclei deposition of iron simultaneously based on the multimodal MRI technique so as to reflect the microstructure alterations reliably and validly. Therefore, we intend to integrate psychological measurement and clinical biochemical examination, and to establish the early warning system for the central nervous system micro-structure alterations during early diabetes based on the multi-modal MRI technique. The reliability and validity of this system will be tested in the diabetic rat model. The early warning system will likely assist in screening patients with diabetic microstructure alterations, to perform early intervention so as to prevent or delay the progression from diabetic MCI to dementia.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional and structural connectivity relationships of multiple brain regions and biomarkers of brain alterations, and the changes in relationships and biomarkers at 2.5 years.
Time Frame: subjects will be assessed six times (once half a year, up to 2.5 years )
Differences in macro-structural and micro-structural between patients,prodromal group and healthy controls will be evaluated. These MRI measures include volumetric characteristics (e.g. hyper-intensities, white matter lesions, atrophy, cerebral microbleeds), quantitative measures (e.g. T2 relaxation times, mean diffusivity, fractional anisotropy, mean kurtosis), functional characteristics (e.g. activated regions, cerebral blood flow), network properties (e.g. functional and structural connectivity, graph-theoretical measures).
subjects will be assessed six times (once half a year, up to 2.5 years )

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
evaluation of obesity and the changes in the state of obesity at 2.5 years
Time Frame: subjects will be assessed six times (once half a year, up to 2.5 years)
Simple evaluation of obesity will include: Body mass index will be calculated as the weight (kg) divided by the square of the height (m). Waist circumference (WC) will be taken as the minimum circumference between the umbilicus and xiphoid process and measured to the nearest 0.5 cm.

metabolic characteristics and their changes at 2.5 years
Time Frame: subjects will be assessed six times (once half a year, up to 2.5 years)

To evaluate the mental health, a series of psychiatric evaluation scale(e.g. mini-mental state examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment，Hamilton anxiety scale, self-rating depression scale, frontal assessment battery) will be assessed.
subjects will be assessed six times (once half a year, up to 2.5 years)
Lifestyle and its changes at 2.5 years
