Abstract Title Roll of cytokines in diabetic heart failure Prof. Shamima Parvin Lasker M sc, M phil, phD fellow abstract: heart failure is the major cause of death in patients with diabetes. risk of death is increased many fold if diabetes is associated with coronary artery disease (CaD). a number of experimental studies have been carried out to determine what structural alteration deteriorates the cardiac function in drug induced diabetic animals but the biomolecular mechanisms responsible for heart failure from diabetes still remain unclear. no study has yet been undertaken to correlate between diabetes and myocyte disarray. it has been suggested that collagenolytic enzymes collectively known as matrix metalloproteinase (MMps) become activated within the failing heart. Conceptually, activation of MMps might be expected to lead to progressive degradation of the extracellular matrix, which in turn leads to slippage of the myocyte bundle within the left ventricular wall causing heart failure. tissue necrosis factor, cytokines and peptide growth factors expressed within the failing myocardium are capable of activating MMps. theoretically increased levels of cytokines may induce a greater quantity of myocardial cell slippage. therefore there relationship may exist between the activity of cytokines and myocyte disarray in diabetes heart failure. 42
Abstract Title Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes of Diabetics Towards The Disease In Upper Egyptian Locality ali taha a. hassan, eman a. sabet, usama a. arafa, sayed M. Waer, adel a. el-sayed. Department of internal Medicine, sohag faculty of Medicine, sohag university Abstract Diabetes self-management education (DsMe) is the process of providing the person with diabetes with the knowledge and skills to perform self care on a day-to-day basis. self-management education teaches the person with diabetes to assess the relationships among medical nutrition therapy, activity level, emotional and physical status, and medications and then respond appropriately and continually to those factors to achieve and maintain optimal glucose control. aim of the study: is the assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes of diabetics in upper egypt which will help in constructing feasible health education programs. patients and Methods: this study is a cross sectional descriptive one using questioning method. it included 200 diabetics attending sohag City hospitals. Data were collected over a period of 6 months from January to June 2006. results: an overall view of knowledge of studied diabetics revealed that the vast majority of them did not know the following points with variable percentage: types of diabetes mellitus 99.5 %, complications of diabetes 94 %, how to avoid these complications 97.5 %, risk factors for diabetes 98 %, relation between diabetes and obesity 96.5 %, their actual body weight 96 %, ideal body weight 99.5 %, types of oral anti-diabetic drugs 99.5 %, and types of insulin 99.5 %. only 29 % of the patients knew the symptoms of diabetes, and only 24.5 % of the patients knew treatment of diabetes. Concerning skills of studied diabetics, the following patients practiced correctly: (98.9 %) of the patients receiving insulin, stored it in the refrigerator, and 72.2 % of these patients receive insulin before meals by about 30 minutes. the majority (92.7 %) of the patients who knew manifestations of hypoglycemia responded to it correctly by having sugar, and 71.4 % of the patients who knew manifestations of hyperglycemia responded to it correctly by consulting their doctors. a large proportion of patients (59.6 %) did not walk bare-footed, and 64 % of them practiced frequent foot washing. Conclusion: the present study revealed that the diabetics in an upper egyptian locality have deficient knowledge about their disease. also, their attitude was negative towards most of the items related to the disease, and they have deficient skills, which may adversely affect the course of the disease. 43
