Background: Colon cancer is one of the deadliest tumors worldwide. Stromal cells and immune cells play important roles in cancer biology and microenvironment across different types of cancer. This study aimed to identify the prognostic value of stromal/immune cell-associated genes for colon cancer in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database using bioinformatic technology.

- The study examines the relationship between serum testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity in elderly men with type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis.
- It involved three groups: elderly men with type 2 diabetes, those with both diabetes and osteoporosis, and healthy controls, measuring various hormonal and glucose indicators.
- Findings suggest that lower testosterone levels are linked to higher insulin resistance, indicating that testosterone may play a role in metabolic health in older diabetic patients with osteoporosis.
Objective: Diabetes is often associated with complications and comorbidities. Diabetic osteoporosis (OP) is increasingly recognized as a significant comorbidity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2-DM). In this study, we intended to determine whether type 2 diabetes was associated with a higher bone mineral density (BMD) in older males, and investigate the related risk factors of diabetes mellitus accompanied with OP.
