An aquaporin and an aquaglyceroporin have roles in low temperature adaptation of mosquitoes (Anopheles sinensis).

Mosquitoes (Anopheles sinensis), widely geographically distributed in Asia including China, are the primary vector of the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax and other parasitic diseases such as Malayan filariasis. An. sinensis can survive through low winter temperatures.

Tomatidine ameliorates high-fat-diet/streptozocin (HFD/STZ)-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus in mice.

Objective: To investigate the effects of tomatidine (Td) on the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in mice and uncover the mechanism.

Methods: T2DM mice model was induced by high-fat diet (HFD) and intrabitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ). The mice were grouped as follows: 1, control; 2, T2D; 3, T2D + tomatidine (5 mg/kg); 4, T2D + tomatidine (10 mg/kg); 5, T2D + tomatidine (20 mg/kg).

LINC01311 exerts an inhibitory effect in thyroid cancer progression by targeting the miR-146b-5p/IMPA2 axis.

Background: A growing body of research suggests that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) play an important role during the tumorigenesis and progression of cancers, including thyroid cancer (TC). Herein, we intended to uncover the role and mechanisms of LINC01311 in TC.

Methods: The relative LINC01311, miR-146b-5p, and IMPA2 expressions were quantified by subjecting TC cells and tissues to western blotting and RT-qPCR.

Exenatide Twice Daily Plus Glargine Versus Aspart 70/30 Twice Daily in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes With Inadequate Glycemic Control on Premixed Human Insulin and Metformin.

Objective: Many patients with type 2 diabetes treated with premixed insulin gradually have inadequate glycemic control and switch to a basal-bolus regimen, which raises some concerns for weight gain and increased hypoglycemic risk. Switching to combination use of glp-1 agonist and basal insulin may be an alternative option.

Methods: After a 12-week premixed human insulin 70/30 dosage optimization period, 200 patients with HbA1c of 7.
