Effects of light quality on agronomic traits, antioxidant capacity and nutritional composition of Sarcomyxa Edulis.

Sarcomyxa edulis, a notable edible and medicinal mushroom indigenous to northeast China, is celebrated for its high nutritional value and delightful taste. In this study, white light as a control and examined the effects of red, green, and blue light on the agronomic traits, antioxidant capabilities, and nutritional composition of S. edulis.

Role of Interleukin 1 Receptor 2 in Kidney Disease.

The interleukin 1 (IL-1) family plays a significant role in the innate immune response. IL-1 receptor 2 (IL-1R2) is the decoy receptor of IL-1. It is a negative regulator that can be subdivided into membrane-bound and soluble types.

Correlation between alternative insulin resistance indexes and diabetic kidney disease: a retrospective study.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to investigate the relationship between alternative insulin resistance (IR) indexes not reliant on insulin and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) incidence in a newly diagnosed cohort of individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of baseline characteristics in a cohort of 521 individuals with T2DM, then followed up on the outcome of DKD. To assess the predictive ability of IR indexes, we compared the performance of four non-insulin-based IR indexes and the homeostasis model for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) using logistic regression and consistency-statistics (C-statistics).

Prediction of Diabetic Kidney Disease in Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a common microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM), is always asymptomatic until it develops to the advanced stage. Thus, we aim to develop a nomogram prediction model for progression to DKD in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: This was a single-center analysis of prospective data collected from 521 newly diagnosed patients with T2DM.

Assessment of QRISK3 as a predictor of cardiovascular disease events in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients is two- to three-fold higher than in the general population. We designed a 10-year cohort trial in T2DM patients to explore the performance of QRESEARCH risk estimator version 3 (QRISK3) as a CVD risk assessment tool and compared to Framingham Risk Score (FRS).

Method: This is a single-center analysis of prospective data collected from 566 newly-diagnosed patients with type 2 DM (T2DM).
