The Association Between Triglyceride Glucose-Body Mass Index and Kidney Impairment in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Purpose: Insulin resistance is associated with kidney impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), which combines the TyG index with body mass index (BMI), has received significant attention as a tool for evaluating insulin resistance. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore the association between TyG-BMI and kidney impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Optical enhancement mode 2 improves the detection rate of gastric neoplastic lesion in high-risk populations: A multicenter randomized controlled clinical study.

Objectives: Detection of early neoplastic lesions is crucial for improving the survival rates of patients with gastric cancer. Optical enhancement mode 2 is a new image-enhanced endoscopic technique that offers bright images and can improve the visibility of neoplastic lesions. This study aimed to compare the detection of neoplastic lesions with optical enhancement mode 2 and white-light imaging (WLI) in a high-risk population.

Differential Diagnosis of Post Pancreatitis Diabetes Mellitus Based on Pancreatic and Gut Hormone Characteristics.

Context: Distinguishing different types of diabetes is important in directing optimized treatment strategies and correlated epidemiological studies.

Objective: Through detailed analysis of hormone responses to mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), we aimed to find representing characteristics of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM-A) and post-chronic pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM-C).

Methods: Participants with PPDM-A, PPDM-C, type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and normal controls (NCs) underwent MMTT.

Predictive value of adipokines for the severity of acute pancreatitis: a meta-analysis.

Background: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a dangerous condition with a high mortality rate. Many studies have found an association between adipokines and the development of SAP, but the results are controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of the association of inflammatory adipokines with SAP.

A prognostic and immunotherapy effectiveness model for pancreatic adenocarcinoma based on cuproptosis-related lncRNAs signature.

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) results in one of the deadliest solid tumors with discouraging clinical outcomes. Growing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a crucial role in altering the growth, prognosis, migration, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. Cuproptosis is a novel type of cell death induced by copper (Cu) and is associated with mitochondrial respiration during the tricarboxylic acid cycle.

Comparison of the efficacy and safety of an oral sulfate solution and 3-L polyethylene glycol on bowel preparation before colonoscopy: a phase III multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Background And Aims: Adequate bowel preparation is crucial for clear mucosal visualization during colonoscopy. We aimed to comprehensively compare oral sulfate solution (OSS) and 3-L split-dose polyethylene glycol (PEG) for bowel preparation before colonoscopy.

Methods: This randomized, active-controlled, noninferiority study was performed in 10 medical centers.

NPTX1 inhibits pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and migration and enhances chemotherapy sensitivity by targeting RBM10.

Pancreatic cancer (PC), one of the deadliest diseases worldwide, has exhibited an increasing incidence rate in recent years. The present study aimed to explore the biological mechanism of PC. Therefore, the expression levels of neuronal pentraxin 1 (NPTX1) and RNA-binding protein 10 (RBM10) were detected in PC cell lines using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot analyses prior to or following NPTX1 and RBM10 overexpression.

Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Is an Independent Risk Factor for Developing New-Onset Diabetes After Acute Pancreatitis: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study in Chinese Population.

Background: Numerous studies validated frequent glucose dysfunction in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). However, the prevalence of new-onset diabetes in individuals after a first episode of AP varies widely among previous studies. This study aims to determine the incidence of post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus (PPDM-A) in Chinese people and further identify potential risk factors that influence diabetes development in patients with AP.

Identification of Hub Genes and Potential ceRNA Networks of Diabetic Nephropathy by Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most common microvascular complications in diabetic patients, and is the main cause of end-stage renal disease. The exact molecular mechanism of DN is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to identify novel biomarkers and mechanisms for DN disease progression by weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA).

Neferine induces apoptosis by modulating the ROS‑mediated JNK pathway in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Current treatments for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have limited efficacy. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic targets to effectively manage the disease and boost survival rates is imperative Neferine, a natural product extracted from Nelumbo nucifera (lotus) leaves, has been revealed to inhibit the growth of hepatocarcinoma, breast cancer and lung cancer cells. However, its effect on ESCC is unknown.

[Antibiotic resistance of Helicobacter pylori clinical isolates in Hebei Province].

Objective: To evaluate the resistance of Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) clinical isolates to various antibiotics, in order to guide rational drug use in Hebei Province.

Methods: From January 2014 to July 2015, 260 patients with H.

Pyoderma gangrenosum of articulations carpi associated with ulcerative colitis: one case report.

Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG), an extra-intestinal manifestation of ulcerative colitis (UC), is extremely rare. Up to now, there is no any data reported the occurrence of PG in joints, especially in China. The management of PG associated with UC is a therapeutic challenge.
