Egg yolk phospholipids are commercially valuable products that are beneficial to human health. Previous research on phospholipids in egg yolk mainly focuses on phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), and fatty acid compositions, and neglects the esterification position and other bioactive phospholipids. This study found a total of 19 classes of phospholipids and 275 subclasses using lipidomics.

Background: The calcium-sensitive receptor (CaSR) has been identified as a key factor in the formation of kidney stones. A substantial body of research has illuminated the function of CaSR in stone formation with respect to oxidative stress, epithelial injury, crystal adhesion, and stone-associated proteins. Nevertheless, as a pivotal molecule in renal calcium excretion, its pathway that contributes to stone formation by regulating calcium supersaturation remains underexplored.

Urologic malignancies, characterized by their high aggressiveness and metastatic potential, pose a significant public health challenge globally. Ferroptosis, a novel mode of cell death, typically arises from intracellular iron ion overload and the accumulation of lipid peroxides. This process has been shown to play a crucial regulatory role in various pathological conditions, particularly in cancer, including urologic cancers.

Background: To clarify whether Vitamin D prevent the occurrence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improve glucose control in T2DM patients, we conducted this umbrella review, taking into account the inconsistent results of existing Meta-analyses. We aim to reveal the causal relationship between Vitamin D and T2DM through summarizing Meta-analyses of observational studies, and clarify the improvement on glucose control in T2DM patients through summarizing Meta-analyses of RCT studies between Vitamin D supplementation and T2DM patients, especially in T2DM patients with Vitamin D deficiency.

Methods: We collected the Meta-analyses of observational studies and RCTs in PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane.

Objective: To observe the effect of point-toward-point insertion of elongated needle on post-stroke fatigue and explore its underlying mechanism.

Methods: Sixty-four patients with post-stroke fatigue were randomly divided into an observation group (32 cases, 2 cases dropped out) and a control group (32 cases, 2 cases dropped out). In addition to the conventional treatment of western medicine and rehabilitation exercises, (regulating the governor vessel and the spirit) therapy of acupuncture was used in the control group, and acupuncture was applied to Baihui (GV 20), Sishencong (EX-HN 1), Shenting (GV 24), Fengfu (GV 16) and bilateral Fengchi (GB 20) and the needles were retained for 30 min in one treatment.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stands as the sixth most prevalent cancer and the third leading cause of cancer mortality globally. Despite surgical resection being the preferred approach for early-stage HCC, most patients are diagnosed at intermediate to advanced stages, limiting treatment options to chemotherapy and immunotherapy, which often yield poor outcomes. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), minute lipid-bilayered particles released by diverse cells under various physiological and pathological conditions, are crucial for mediating communication between cells.

Objective: To explore whether tea polyphenols(TP) improve sarcopenia in the aged type 2 diabetes(T2DM)model rats via mitochondrial quality control(MQC).

Methods: A total of 55 2-month-old male SD rats were randomly divided into the control group(n=10), the aged model group(aged, n=10) and the aging T2DM model group(n=35). The aging T2DM model group rats were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet and intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg D-galactose daily.
