Item A Reduced Pancreatic Polypeptide Response is Associated With New-onset Pancreatogenic Diabetes Versus Type 2 Diabetes(The Endocrine Society, 2023) Hart, Phil A.; Kudva, Yogish C.; Yadav, Dhiraj; Andersen, Dana K.; Li, Yisheng; Toledo, Frederico G. S.; Wang, Fuchenchu; Bellin, Melena D.; Bradley, David; Brand, Randall E.; Cusi, Kenneth; Fisher, William; Mather, Kieren; Park, Walter G.; Saeed, Zeb; Considine, Robert V.; Graham, Sarah C.; Rinaudo, Jo Ann; Serrano, Jose; Goodarzi, Mark O.; Medicine, School of MedicinePurpose: Pancreatogenic diabetes refers to diabetes mellitus (DM) that develops in the setting of a disease of the exocrine pancreas, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and chronic pancreatitis (CP). We sought to evaluate whether a blunted nutrient response of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) can differentiate these DM subtypes from type 2 DM (T2DM). Methods: Subjects with new-onset DM (<3 years' duration) in the setting of PDAC (PDAC-DM, n = 28), CP (CP-DM, n = 38), or T2DM (n = 99) completed a standardized mixed meal tolerance test, then serum PP concentrations were subsequently measured at a central laboratory. Two-way comparisons of PP concentrations between groups were performed using Wilcoxon rank-sum test and analysis of covariance while adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index. Results: The fasting PP concentration was lower in both the PDAC-DM and CP-DM groups than in the T2DM group (P = 0.03 and <0.01, respectively). The fold change in PP at 15 minutes following meal stimulation was significantly lower in the PDAC-DM (median, 1.869) and CP-DM (1.813) groups compared with T2DM (3.283; P < 0.01 for both comparisons). The area under the curve of PP concentration was significantly lower in both the PDAC-DM and CP-DM groups than in T2DM regardless of the interval used for calculation and remained significant after adjustments. Conclusions: Fasting PP concentrations and the response to meal stimulation are reduced in new-onset DM associated with PDAC or CP compared with T2DM. These findings support further investigations into the use of PP concentrations to characterize pancreatogenic DM and to understand the pathophysiological role in exocrine pancreatic diseases.Item High Prevalence of Osteopathy in Chronic Pancreatitis: A Cross-sectional Analysis From the PROCEED Study(Elsevier, 2022) Hart, Phil A.; Yadav, Dhiraj; Li, Liang; Appana, Savi; Fisher, William; Fogel, Evan; Forsmark, Chris E.; Park, Walter G.; Pandol, Stephen; Topazian, Mark D.; Van Den Eden, Stephen K.; Vege, Santhi Swaroop; Bradley, David; Serrano, Jose; Conwell, Darwin L.; Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes, and Pancreatic Cancer (CPDPC); Medicine, School of MedicineBackground & aims: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is associated with osteopathy (osteoporosis or osteopenia). However, existing literature is mostly limited to retrospective or administrative studies that have not clearly defined the prevalence and risk factors. Our aim was to identify patient- and disease-related associations with osteopathy in a prospective cohort study of CP. Methods: We studied 282 subjects with definitive CP enrolled in the PROCEED study who had a baseline dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Osteopenia and osteoporosis were defined using the lowest T-scores. Clinical data were collected using standardized case report forms. Comparisons were performed with a multivariate logistic regression model with forward selection to identify risk factors for osteopathy. Results: The majority of subjects had osteopathy on DXA scan (56.0%; 17.0% osteoporosis; 39.0% osteopenia). Subjects with osteopathy had a higher prevalence of traumatic (40.0% vs 26.4%; P = .02) and spontaneous fractures (3.9% vs 0; P = .04). On multivariate analysis, older age (odds ratio [OR], 1.29 per 5 years; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.15-1.45), female sex (OR, 3.08; 95% CI, 1.75-5.43), white race (OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.20-6.01), and underweight body mass index category (OR, 7.40; 95% CI, 1.56-34.99) were associated with higher probability of osteopathy. There were no significant associations between osteopathy and other patient and disease-related features of CP. Conclusion: In the largest study of patients with CP who underwent DXA screening, the majority had osteopathy. There are overlapping risk factors with osteopathy in the general population, but the high prevalence in men and younger women supports the need for future investigations into the mechanisms of bone loss in CP.
