Objective: This study aimed to propose the hyperuricemia-waist (HUAW) phenotype and investigate the relationship between the HUAW phenotype and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: We enrolled 255 patients with T2DM (165 male and 90 female) from the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao. The sleep test was performed, and serum uric acid (UA) levels and waist circumference (WC) were calculated.
The relationship between hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype, insulin sensitivity, and pancreatic β-cell function remains still unclear in subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). The objective is to detect whether the disposition index (DI) could be used as a predictive indicator of insulin sensitivity and pancreatic β-cell function in men with HTGW phenotype and NGT. A total of 180 men without diabetes were recruited in this study and underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) to calculate DI based on the OGTT.

Background: The existing literature has repeatedly assessed the association between sugar-sweetened beverages and depressive symptoms, but studies of the association of total dietary sugar with depressive symptoms and of this association in obese adults are scarce. Thus, the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess the association between total sugar consumption and depressive symptoms in the study population and then in the population stratified by body mass index.
Methods: This study was conducted in a nationally representative sample of 16,009 adults from the 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the US.
Unlabelled: Childhood and puberty are important period for the skeleton grows. Fat mass, especially visceral adipose tissue, was negatively correlated with areal bone mineral density in children and adolescents. The present study suggests that fat mass, especially visceral adipose tissue, has a slightly negative association with bone development in children and adolescents.

Objectives: To access the dose-response relationship between sex hormones and hyperuricemia (HUA), and to find the cut-off value in different gender.
Methods: 9,685 participants were derived from the database of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were applied to explore the relationship between sex hormones and HUA after adjusting for confounding factors by propensity score match (PSM).
Background: Low muscle mass, that is, muscular atrophy, is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Few studies investigated whether hypoglycemic drugs can alleviate low muscle mass and related mechanisms.
Methods: This study recruited 51 type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, who were divided into two groups based on skeletal muscle index (SMI) evaluated by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA): the experiment group (n = 25, SMI < 7 kg/m 2 ) and the control group (n = 26, SMI≥7 kg/m 2 ).
Objective: The predictive performances of CURB-65 and pneumonia severity index (PSI) were poor in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to develop a tool for predicting the short-term and long-term outcomes of CAP in patients with diabetes.

Neurophysiological studies have shown that there is a close relationship between spikes and local field potential (LFP), which reflects crucial neural coding information. In this paper, we used a new method to evaluate the synchronization between spikes and LFP. All possible phases of LFP from - to were first binned into a freely chosen number of bins; then, the probability of spikes falling in each bin was calculated, and the deviation degree from the uniform distribution based on the Kullback-Leibler divergence was calculated to define the synchronization between spikes and LFP.

Thus, we applied four methods based on permutation analysis to measure PAC, including multiscale permutation mutual information (MPMI), permutation conditional mutual information (PCMI), symbolic joint entropy (SJE), and weighted-permutation mutual information (WPMI). To verify the ability of these four algorithms, a performance test including the effects of coupling strength, signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and data length was evaluated by using simulation data.
