A 49-year-old man developed severe hyponatremia associated with transient headache and was diagnosed with syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Fluid restriction and sodium supplementation corrected the hyponatremia. However, several days later, the patient exhibited hypernatremia with thirst and polyuria. A detailed examination indicated central diabetes insipidus (CDI) with an intrasellar cystic lesion indicative of Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC). A case of RCC exhibiting headache, hyponatremia, and subsequent hypernatremia has been reported. Our case shows that CDI may appear after SIADH in patients with RCC, especially in those with serum sodium levels that unexpectedly increase rapidly beyond the reference range.

BACKGROUND Isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency (IAD) is a rare disorder characterized by central adrenal insufficiency (AI) but normal secretion of pituitary hormones other than adrenocorticotropic hormone. IAD usually presents with unspecific symptoms of AI, such as anorexia and fatigue, but some patients present with a variety of atypical manifestations. Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening clinical syndrome caused by skeletal muscle injury with the release of muscle cell contents into the circulation. A wide variety of disorders can cause rhabdomyolysis. Herein, we report an unusual case of IAD presenting with hyponatremia and rhabdomyolysis. CASE REPORT A 67-year-old Japanese woman with a 2-month history of anorexia and fatigue was diagnosed with severe hyponatremia (serum sodium, 118 mEq/L) and rhabdomyolysis (serum creatine phosphokinase, 6968 IU/L), after 2 days of vomiting and muscle weakness. Physical and laboratory findings did not show dehydration or peripheral edema. Her rhabdomyolysis resolved with normalization of serum sodium levels during administration of sodium chloride. However, her anorexia and fatigue remained unresolved. After reducing the amount of sodium chloride administered, the patient still had hyponatremia. Detailed endocrinological examinations indicated IAD; her hyponatremia was associated with inappropriately high plasma arginine vasopressin levels. The patient received corticosteroid replacement therapy, which resolved her anorexia, fatigue, excessive arginine vasopressin, and hyponatremia. CONCLUSIONS This case highlights the importance of considering the possibility of central AI in patients with hyponatremia and excessive arginine vasopressin levels. In addition, rhabdomyolysis associated with hyponatremia can be an important manifestation of IAD.

A 59-year-old non-obese Japanese woman developed diabetes mellitus with a negative glutamic acid decarboxylase autoantibody (GADA) test result. Her hyperglycemia was initially well controlled by oral hypoglycemic agents; however, despite continued treatment the hyperglycemia gradually worsened. As she had endogenous insulin deficiency and tested positive for insulin autoantibody (IAA), insulin therapy was initiated. Few studies have investigated GADA-negative patients with slowly progressive type 1 diabetes mellitus (SPT1D). Our IAA-positive SPT1D patient progressed from the clinical onset of diabetes mellitus to starting insulin therapy relatively quickly (1.5 years), similarly to other previously reported non-obese patients with GADA-positive SPT1D.

Many epidemiological studies have assessed the genetic risk of having undiagnosed or of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) based on findings of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, the quantitative association of cumulative risk alleles (RAs) of such SNPs with T2DM risk has been unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis is to review the strength of the association between cumulative RAs and T2DM risk. Systematic literature searches were conducted for cross-sectional or longitudinal studies that examined odds ratios (ORs) for T2DM in relation to genetic profiles. Logarithm of the estimated OR (log OR) of T2DM for 1 increment in RAs carried (1-ΔRA) in each study was pooled using a random-effects model. There were 46 eligible studies that included 74,880 cases among 249,365 participants. In 32 studies with a cross-sectional design, the pooled OR for T2DM morbidity for 1-ΔRA was 1.16 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.13–1.19). In 15 studies that had a longitudinal design, the OR for incident T2DM was 1.10 (95% CI, 1.08–1.13). There was large heterogeneity in the magnitude of log OR (P < 0.001 for both cross-sectional studies and longitudinal studies). The top 10 commonly used genes significantly explained the variance in the log OR (P = 0.04 for cross-sectional studies; P = 0.006 for longitudinal studies). The current meta-analysis indicated that carrying 1-ΔRA in T2DM-associated SNPs was associated with a modest risk of prevalent or incident T2DM, although the heterogeneity in the used genes among studies requires us to interpret the results with caution.

A 63-year-old Japanese woman with advanced lung adenocarcinoma developed isolated adrenocorticotropin deficiency caused by immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related hypophysitis following 8 months of nivolumab therapy. Prompt corticosteroid replacement therapy effectively relieved her secondary adrenal insufficiency symptoms and allowed her to pursue nivolumab therapy, which had been effective for the control of lung adenocarcinoma. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing revealed the presence of the DRB1*04:05-DQA1*03:03-DQB1*04:01 haplotype, which is associated with susceptibility to autoimmune polyglandular syndrome with pituitary disorder in the Japanese population. This case suggests that genetic factors, such as HLA, contribute to the development of endocrinopathies induced by ICIs.

Background: Resistance training (RT) is effective for glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. However, the characteristics of an RT program that will maximize its effect and those of patients that will especially benefit from RT are unknown. Objective: The objectives of this systematic review were to identify via a comprehensive meta-analysis the characteristics of an RT program for patients with T2DM that might increase the patients’ improvement in glycemic control and the characteristics of patients that will benefit from RT. Data Sources: Electronic-based literature searches of MEDLINE and EMBASE entries from 1 January 1966 to 25 August 2014 were conducted to identify clinical trials examining the effect of RT on glycemic control among patients with T2DM. Study keywords were text words and thesaurus terms related to RT and T2DM. Study Selection: Studies were included if they (1) were clinical trials consisting of two groups with and without RT exercise intervention; (2) had an intervention period of at least 5 weeks; (3) clarified that all patients had T2DM; and (4) reported or made it possible to estimate the effect size [i.e., change in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in the RT group minus that in the control group] and its corresponding standard error. Study Appraisal and Synthesis Methods: The effect size in each study was pooled with a random-effects model. Analyses were stratified by several key characteristics of the patients and RT exercise programs; meta-regression analysis was then used to detect a difference in the effect size among strata within each factor. Linear regression analyses were added by entering each of the following profiles: patients’ baseline characteristics [mean baseline age, body mass index (BMI), and HbA1c levels] and exercise characteristics (total sets per week, total sets per bout of exercise, frequency, and intensity). Results: There were 23 eligible studies comprising 954 patients with T2DM. The pooled effect size (95 % confidence interval) was −0.34 % (−0.53 to −0.16). A program with multiple sets (≥21 vs. <21) per one RT bout was associated with a large effect size (P = 0.03); however, the linear correlation between the number of sets and effect size was not significant (P = 0.56). A larger effect size was observed in studies with participants with diabetes of a relatively short duration (<6 vs. ≥6 years; P = 0.04) or a high baseline HbA1c [≥7.5 % (58 mmol/mol) vs. <7.5 %; P = 0.01] while a smaller effect size was observed in studies with a particularly high mean baseline BMI value (≥32 vs. <32 kg/m2; P = 0.03). Linear regression analyses predicted that each increment of 1 % in the baseline HbA1c would enlarge the effect size by 0.036 %, while each increment of 1 kg/m2 in the baseline BMI decreased it by 0.070 % in the range between 22.3 and 38.8 kg/m2. Conclusion: In terms of glycemic control, RT could be recommended in the early stage of T2DM, especially for patients with relatively poor glycemic control. More benefit would be elicited in less obese patients within a limited range of the BMI. A substantial amount of exercise might be required to stimulate post-exercise glucose uptake, although the dose-dependency was not specifically clarified.
