ICDM 2018

Main symposia

S1 Diabetes, retina, vision :
Diabetic retinopathy: out of sight, out of mind
16:00~17:30 / Thursday 11 October
Convention hall C
Chairman: Ho Sang Shon, Kyu Jeung Ahn
Overview

Organizers: Nan Hee Kim, Jaetaek Kim

This session entitled with 'Diabetes, retina, vision' is translational session and designed to provide a place for clinicians and basic researchers to understand the novel mechanisms and potential therapeutic areas for diabetic retinopathy. Clinical ophthalmology and basic research have complimentarily accumulated invaluable information of drug discovery for diabetic retinopathy. In this session, invited speakers will present the utility of experimental mouse retinal models, and the perspectives on new drugs targeting vascular signals.

S4 Diabetes, cognition :
Beyond old paradigm : diabetes-associated cognitive dysfunction
09:00~10:40 / Friday 12 October
Convention hall C
Chairman: Jae Myung Yu, Adam R. Wende
Overview

Organizers: Nan Hee Kim, Jaetaek Kim

This session entitled with 'Diabetes, cognition' is translational session and designed to provide a place for clinicians and basic researchers to understand the novel mechanisms and potential therapeutic areas for diabetic cognitive dysfunction. Although microvascular and macrovascular complications of diabetes are well recognized, there is a lack of awareness regarding other complications such as cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. In this session, invited speakers will explain the interconnecting link between diabetes and cognitive dysfunction. This session will be the important step toward better understanding the cognitive dysfunction in diabetes.

S9 Diabetes, epigenetics, complications :
Epigenetics: cutting-edge research - application to diabetic complications
13:20~15:20 / Friday 12 October
Convention hall C
Chairman: Byung-Joon Kim, Melanie Cree-Green
Overview

Organizers: Nan Hee Kim, Jae Taek Kim

This session entitled with 'Diabetes, epigenetics, complications' is translational session and designed to provide a place for clinicians and basic researchers to understand epigenetics of diabetic complications. Epigenetic modifications are one of the most important means for the temporal and spatial control of gene activity. Many studies indicate that specific epigenetic events contribute to programming for the development and progression of diabetic complications. The invited speakers will present their recent works successfully using these strategies to identify novel mechanisms influencing diabetic complications.

S15 Diabetes, microvascular, complications :
Three tough questions that are difficult to answer.
09:00~11:00 / Saturday 13 October
Convention hall C
Chairman: Yong-Wook Cho, E. Dale Abel
Overview

Organizers: Nan Hee Kim, Jae Taek Kim

This session entitled with 'Diabetes, microvascular, complications' is translational session and designed to provide a place for clinicians and basic researchers to understand the important pathophysiologic mechanisms of diabetic microvascular complications. Although there has been a big improvement in the treatment and prognosis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), there remains an unmet need for innovative treatment. The invited speakers will present the overview of recent preclinical and clinical studies of DKD and the connections between diabetic vascular complications, which demonstrate new insights to outline directions with respect to novel therapies.

14:30~16:30 / Saturday 13 October
Convention hall C
Chairman: Kyung Wan Min, Yu-Bae Ahn
Overview

Organizer: Chong Hwa Kim

This session entitled with 'Diabetic neuropathy' is translational session and designed to provide a place for clinicians and basic researchers to understand the novel pathophysiologies and potential therapeutic areas for diabetic neuropathy in patient with diabetes. In this session, overview of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy from Schwann cell and in diabetes and a new hope of therapeutic agents in diabetic peripheral neuropathy, will be presented and discussed. This session will be provide the better understanding of pathophysiology and managemt of diabetic neuropathy included diabetic peripheral neuropathy and cardiac autonomic neuropathy.
