Objective: For a long time, the dispute about whether improved glycemic control can bring significant benefits has remained unresolved. We aimed to investigate the association of time spent in different fasting glucose target ranges with cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality in a population with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Method: A total of 3460 T2DM patients in the Kailuan cohort were included in this study.

The exacerbation of liver damage can escalate sepsis severity, underscoring the necessity to delve into the molecular mechanisms underlying sepsis-induced acute liver injury (ALI). The role of alternative splicing (AS), a complex post-transcriptional mechanism, has been occasionally noted in relation to sepsis across different investigations.

This study provides a comprehensive summary of the clinical symptoms, multisystemic pathogenesis, and genetic characteristics of MELAS syndrome. The aim was to improve comprehension of clinical practice and gain a deeper understanding of the latest pathophysiological theories.
