Context: Both physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) exert an important impact on type 2 diabetes, but it remains unclear regarding how the maximum impact on improving mortality by an optimized proportion of the two lifestyles can be achieved.

Objective: To explore the impacts of PA/SB combinations on mortality in patients with diabetes.

Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes samplings were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey dataset.

Introduction: Surgical ventricular reconstruction (SVR) is an alternative therapeutic approach in patients with refractory heart failure (HF), but residual remodeling after SVR limits the improvement of HF. Recently, we reported that SVR may act as an environmental cue to reactivate endogenous proliferation of cardiomyocytes; however, it is unclear whether enhancing endogenous cardiomyocyte regeneration further improves HF after SVR.

Objectives: We aimed to explore whether circular RNAs (circRNAs) would involved in SVR and their mechanisms.
