Association between physical activity and mortality in patients with osteoporosis: a cohort study of NHANES.

Unlabelled: We utilized data from the NHANES to investigate the impact of physical activity on mortality in osteoporotic patients. Our study suggests that osteoporotic patients may require higher volumes of physical activity to reduce mortality risk compared to the general population. In osteoporotic patients, the dose-response relationships between physical activity volumes and both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were linear.

Efficacy of Exenatide Administered Twice Daily in Body Mass Index Reduction in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: Exenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist that can reduce body weight. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of exenatide on body mass index (BMI) reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with differing baseline body weight, blood glucose, and atherosclerotic status and to determine if there is a correlation between BMI reduction and cardiometabolic indices in these patients.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study used data from our randomized controlled trial.

Comparing the effects of twice-daily exenatide and insulin on renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

This is a secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the effects of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists exenatide and insulin aspartate 30 injection on carotid intima-media thickness. Here, we report the renal outcomes of the intervention in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Data from the RCT study was used to evaluate the effect of exenatide or insulin given for 52 weeks on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with T2DM.

The effect of statin adherence on patients with type 2 diabetes after percutaneous coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of long-term statin adherence among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute coronary syndrome.

Main Outcome Measures: All-cause readmission after initial PCI intervention was defined as the main outcome of the study. Readmission for revascularization, cerebrovascular disease, and so on among the study population was analyzed as secondary outcomes.

Treatment Outcomes of Clopidogrel in Patients With ACS and Diabetes Undergoing PCI-Analysis of Beijing Municipal Medical Insurance Database.

Background And Aims: Several clinical trials have proved the efficacy of clopidogrel treatment for patients with percutaneous coronary intervention. There are few large-scale studies to identify the mortality associated with different durations of treatment of clopidogrel in patients with diabetes and ACS undergoing PCI in the Chinese population. The objective of this analysis was to determine the efficacy of long-term clopidogrel therapy (≥12 months) short-term use (<12 months) in Chinese patients with diabetes after PCI.

Impaired Mitochondrial Fusion and Oxidative Phosphorylation Triggered by High Glucose Is Mediated by Tom22 in Endothelial Cells.

Much evidence demonstrates that mitochondrial dysfunction plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of vascular complications of diabetes. However, the signaling pathways through which hyperglycemia leads to mitochondrial dysfunction of endothelial cells are not fully understood. Here, we treated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) with high glucose and examined the role of translocase of mitochondrial outer membrane (Tom) 22 on mitochondrial dynamics and cellular function.

Associations between urinary iodine concentration, lipid profile and other cardiometabolic risk factors in adolescents: a cross-sectional, population-based analysis.

Low urinary iodine concentration (UIC) is associated with dyslipidaemia in adults but is not well characterised in adolescents. Because dyslipidaemia is a cardiovascular risk factor, identifying such an association in adolescents would allow for the prescription of appropriate measures to maintain cardiovascular health. The present study addresses this question using data in the 2001-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 1692 adolescents aged 12-19 years.

Novel role of SF1 in alleviating thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy through the AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.

Background/aim: Thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by an increased volume of adipose/connective tissue. This study aims to explore whether steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1) is implicated in development of TAO through the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway.

Methods: Initially, we extracted orbital preadipocytes from 10 TAO patients for culture and identification.

Sitagliptin Protects Cardiac Function by Reducing Nitroxidative Stress and Promoting Autophagy in Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) Rats.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify potential mechanisms involved in the cardiac protective effects of sitagliptin in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats.

Methods And Results: Male non-diabetic lean Zucker rats (Lean) and ZDF rats treated with saline (ZDF) or sitagliptin (ZDF + sita) were used in this study. The blood pressure and lipid profiles were increased significantly in ZDF rats compared with Lean rats.

A cross-sectional study on the associations of insulin resistance with sex hormone, abnormal lipid metabolism in T2DM and IGT patients.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a long-term metabolic disorder. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, insulin resistance (IR), and relative impairment in insulin secretion. IR plays a major role in the pathogenesis of T2DM.
