Association between dietary patterns and chronic kidney disease in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes: a community-based cross-sectional study.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The association between dietary patterns and CKD in elderly T2DM patients remains understudied. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dietary patterns and CKD in elderly Chinese patients with T2DM.

Extraction methods, structural features and bioactivity diversity of polysaccharides from the genus Chrysanthemum: A review.

The genus Chrysanthemum has been widely used as both folk medicine and food in East Asia for thousands of years, serving as a significant source of nutritional and pharmacological value. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, it clears heat and toxic materials and regulates liver function. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that polysaccharides from the genus Chrysanthemum, especially Chrysanthemum morifolium, Chrysanthemum indicum, and Coreopsis tinctoria, are vital representative macromolecules with diverse biological activities, including antioxidant, immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, antitumor, and antiviral properties as well as the ability to regulate the gut microbiota.

Comparative diagnostic performance of imaging modalities in chronic pancreatitis: a systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis.

Purpose: We aimed to perform a Bayesian network meta-analysis to assess the comparative diagnostic performance of different imaging modalities in chronic pancreatitis(CP).

Methods: The PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for relevant publications until March 2024. All studies evaluating the head-to-head diagnostic performance of imaging modalities in CP were included.

Yanghe decoction alleviates osteoarthritis by AMPK-SIRT3 positive feedback loop-mediated Mitochondrial autophagy.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Yanghe Decoction(YHD) is a traditional Chinese medicine compound known for its efficacy in treating osteoarthritis (OA).

Aim Of The Study: We aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms of YHD in relation to OA.

Materials And Methods: UHPLC-MS technology was used to identify the material basis of YHD.

An oxidation-reduction-triggered thiamine disulfide-based prodrug of 10-hydroxycamptothecin for selective tumor cell locking and therapeutic delivery.

Chemotherapy, a primary method of cancer treatment, has been limited in clinical application due to its lack of specificity and tumor multidrug resistance, resulting in numerous undesired side effects. Herein, a small molecule conjugate, TDK-HCPT, was designed and synthesized, which could target tumor cells and prolong the retention of chemotherapy agents within tumor cells. Moreover, a similarly designed control system, TDK-Nap, has been developed as well to enable cancer cell imaging.
