    Abstract: We investigated the association between glucose excursions and the dawn phenomenon, and the effects of oral-glucose lowering drugs on the dawn phenomenon in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis using data from a previous randomized trial. Patients with T2D on metformin monotherapy were randomized to receive add-on acarbose or glibenclamide for 16 weeks. Ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was conducted before randomization and at the end of the study. Using the CGM data, we assessed glucose excursions as indicated by mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE). The magnitude of the dawn phenomenon was calculated as the difference between the nocturnal nadir (0:00 to 6:00 a.m.) and prebreakfast glucose level. Results: A total of 50 patients with T2D [mean age 53.5 ± 8.2 years, mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) 8.4 ± 1.2%] were analyzed. There was an independent association between MAGE and the dawn phenomenon [β coefficient 0.199, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.074–0.325, p = 0.003] . HbA1c improved significantly after treatment with acarbose or glibenclamide. However, only treatment with acarbose significantly improved glucose excursions. The dawn phenomenon decreased significantly only in patients treated with acarbose (from 35.9 ± 15.7–28.3 ± 16.5 mg/dl, p = 0.037), but not in those treated with glibenclamide (from 35.9 ± 20.6–34.6 ± 17.0 mg/dl, p = 0.776). Conclusion: Glucose excursions were independently associated with the dawn phenomenon in patients with T2D on metformin monotherapy. Both glucose excursions and the dawn phenomenon improved after treatment with acarbose, but not after treatment with glibenclamide.

    Abstract: We investigated the association between postchallenge glucose increment and hemoglobin glycation index (HGI), the difference between observed and predicted glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), in subjects with no history of diabetes. We enrolled 1381 subjects who attended our outpatient clinic for an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to screen for diabetes. HGI was defined as observed HbA1c minus predicted HbA1c. The predicted HbA1c was calculated by entering fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level into an equation [HbA1c(%)=FPG(mg/dL)*0.029+2.9686] determined from an HbA1c versus FPG regression analysis using data from an independent cohort of 2734 subjects with no history of diabetes. The association between 2-hour glucose increment and HGI was analyzed using linear regression analyses with adjustment of relevant parameters. Overall, the proportions of subjects with normal glucose tolerance, pre-diabetes, and newly diagnosed diabetes were 42.3%, 41.3%, and 16.4%, respectively. Compared with subjects who had an HGI≤0, subjects with an HGI 〉 0 had a lower FPG (95.0±13.3 vs 98.5±15.3 mg/dL, p 〈 0.001) but a higher 2-hour plasma glucose (151.1±52.8 vs 144.6±51.4 mg/dL, p=0.027) and 2-hour glucose increment (56.1±46.1 vs 46.1±45.0 mg/dL, p 〈 0.001). The 2-hour glucose increment after an OGTT was independently associated with HGI (β coefficient 0.003, 95% CI 0.002 to 0.003, p 〈 0.001). Our findings suggested that postchallenge glucose increment was independently associated with HGI in subjects with no history of diabetes.

    Abstract: The aim was to assess the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) in Asians with or without diabetes. In this cross-sectional study, the components of MetS, lipid profiles, and ABI were assessed. A total 441 participants were enrolled, and the ABI was significantly lower (1.09 ± 0.10 vs 1.12 ± 0.13, P = .015) in participants with MetS (n = 269) as compared with those without MetS (n = 172). To dissect the influence of diabetes, these 2 groups were further categorized according to either diabetes or not. Ankle-brachial index was highest in participants with neither MetS nor diabetes and lowest in those with both MetS and diabetes (P value for trend 〈 .001). Metabolic syndrome is also an independent risk factor for low ABI in participants with diabetes (P = .018). Thus, MetS is usually associated with lower ABI, most obvious in diabetic participants.

    Abstract: Glucose variability is predictive of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. However, the association between peripheral artery disease and glucose variability has not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, the standard deviation of annual haemoglobin A1c was assessed in patients with type 2 diabetes for evaluating the different risks of peripheral artery disease. Methods: A total of 4144 patients underwent an evaluation for the ankle-brachial index and the percentage of mean arterial pressure at the ankle. The first haemoglobin A1c record was retrospectively collected from each year until the ankle-brachial index measurement. Results: The standard deviation of annual haemoglobin A1c was higher in patients with ankle-brachial index ⩽0.90 than in those with ankle-brachial index 〉 0.90 (1.1 ± 0.9% vs 1.0 ± 0.8%, p = 0.009) and was higher in patients with percentage of mean arterial pressure ⩾45% than in those with percentage of mean arterial pressure 〈 45% (1.1 ± 0.8% vs 1.0 ± 0.8%, p = 0.007). A high standard deviation and mean of annual haemoglobin A1c are associated with high-risk peripheral artery disease, which is defined as a combination of ankle-brachial index ⩽0.90, percentage of mean arterial pressure ⩾45% or both (odds ratio = 1.306; 95% confidence interval = 1.057–1.615; p = 0.014). Conclusion: Fluctuation in the haemoglobin A1c value indicates higher risk for peripheral artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes and poor glucose control.

    Abstract: We enrolled 1461 Taiwanese type 2 diabetic outpatients with ankle-brachial index (ABI) and toe-brachial index (TBI) examinations, excluding participants with history of stroke, end-stage renal disease, malignancy, acute myocardial infarction, amputation, and overt calcification of the lower limbs (ABI 〉 1.3). Ankle-brachial index values 〈 0.9 were found in 2.8% of the patients and 5.7% had TBI 〈 0.6. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; 90 ± 33 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 ) obtained from 473 patients correlated significantly with both ABI and TBI. Progressive eGFR decline was observed in 419 participants with normal ABI and TBI, 35 with normal ABI but low TBI, and 19 with low ABI and normal or low TBI ( P for trend 〈 .001). After adjusting for confounding factors, age and eGFR were significantly associated with TBI and ABI. Low eGFR is associated with peripheral arterial disease in type 2 diabetes with mild to moderate renal insufficiency.

    Abstract: This study investigated the relationship among tourists’ perceived sustainability, aesthetic experience, and behavioral intention toward reused heritage buildings by employing stimulus–organism–response theory. There were 354 valid questionnaires collected from the Sputnik Lab in Tainan, Taiwan. A positive correlation was found between tourists’ perception of sustainability and aesthetic experience. When tourists perceived higher aesthetic experience, they also had stronger behavioral intention. Structural equation modeling analysis verified that the aesthetic experience of tourists had mediating effects between perceived sustainability and behavioral intention in the reused heritage space. The reuse of space should be attached significantly to the aesthetic display of space and service so as to promote such scenic spots and increase tourists’ intention to revisit through word of mouth.

    Abstract: In addition to determining the concentration and metallic constituents of particulate matter at Taichung Harbor in central Taiwan, this study attempts to characterize the mass, metallic elements, composition and concentrations of total suspended particulates (TSP), fine particles and coarse particles. Statistical approaches, such as the Spearman tests, were also adopted to determine the seasonal variations of concentrations of these pollutants. Experimental results indicate that the mean TSP, fine particulate and coarse particulate concentrations in spring and winter are higher than in summer and autumn on the western coast of central Taiwan. Spearman statistical analysis of metallic elements Mn and Pb showed high concentration coefficients for fine and coarse particulates on the western coast of central Taiwan. The order of mean metallic concentrations in TSP, coarse particulates and fine particles was Fe-Zn-Mg-Cu-Cr-Mn-Pb in TSP, Fe-Cu-Zn-Mg-Mn-Pb-Cr in coarse particulates and Fe-Cu-Mg-Pb-Zn-Mn-Cr in fine particulates.

    Abstract: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been proven effective in life support for patients with refractory cardiopulmonary failure. Deteriorating patients who have removed their first ECMO support and required second or more courses of ECMO support have rarely been discussed. Methods and Results All the records of the patients who experienced at least 2 courses of ECMO during single admission were retrieved. Survival was defined as survival to discharge. Demographic data and clinical information were compared between survival and nonsurvival groups. There were 86 patients who received at least 2 courses of ECMO in the 20-year database, and 27 (31.3%) were 〈 18 years old. Of them, 87.3% received 2 runs of ECMO, 10.4% 3 runs, and 2.3% 4 runs. Overall survival rate was 30.2%. The survival rate for patients with 2 runs of ECMO was 33.3% (25 out of 75), 11.1% (1 out of 9) for 3 runs, and 0% (0 out of 2) for 4 runs. Multivariate analysis revealed that only ARF with hemodialysis was the independent risk factor. Conclusions The decision to perform repeated ECMO implantation is a complex and difficult process. Despite the arguments debating the consumption of resources and increased complications, there are still nearly 1 out of 3 patients who will survive to discharge. More than 2 courses of ECMO may be carefully considered for further rescue.
