| Research Abstract |
1) In diabetes, hypertension compounds and greatly increases the risk of microvascular complications. Hypertension directly damages the microvasculature. However, it is uncertain whether hypertension, per se, causes neuropathy, and how hypertension affects diabetic neuropathy. We have found neuropathic abnormalities in hypertensive rats, and also demonstrated that the severity of neuropathy in diabetes with hypertension was greater than neuropathy in non-hypertensive diabetes. Uncontrolled hypertension could cause neuropathy, and hypertension enhances the severity of diabetic neuropathy. In addition, we have shown that increased susceptibility to ischemia and reperfusion in hypertensive rats.
2) Ischemic vulnerability in diabetic nerve plays a paramount role in the development of diabetic neuropathy, yet little is known of the underlying mechanism. We conclude that macrophage proliferation and activation occur in STZ-diabetic nerves. The acute inflammatory response after a short period of ischemia was intensified in diabetic nerves. Activation of resident macrophages and infiltration by recruited macrophages could be casually linked to ischemic susceptibility in diabetic nerve.
3) Treatment of sensory symptoms in ischemic limbs resulting from peripheral artery disease is still unsatisfactory. We have found that HGF gene treatment improved sensory symptoms and blood flow in acute ischemic and reperfusion injury of rats.
