Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) has been linked with numerous respiratory diseases. Recently, lung microbiome is proposed to be characterized with development and progression of respiratory diseases. However, the underlying effects of TRAP exposure on lung microbiome are rarely explored.

- The study aimed to determine if postprandial hypoglycaemia is a distinct and consistent type of glucose metabolism issue and to identify genetic factors related to it.
- Researchers analyzed data from a large metabolic disease database, focusing on individuals with abnormal glucose levels after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and compared them to a control group.
- Results showed a small number of participants with significant hypoglycemia had mutations in a gene called PEG3, suggesting a possible genetic link, but the authors recommend further research to confirm and expand these findings.
Objective: Post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) is a common complication of stroke. Acupuncture as one of the traditional therapies in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), can change the excitability of cerebral cortical nerve cells, and promote the recovery of neurological and swallowing functions. Several clinical primary studies (including RCTs, cohort studies, etc.

Given the limited research of KCNJ11-MODY, we aimed to analyse its phenotypic features and prevalence in Chinese patients with early-onset type 2 diabetes (EOD).
Design, Patients And Measurements: We performed next-generation sequencing on 679 Chinese EOD patients to screen for KCNJ11 exons variants.
Objective: The study aimed to characterize serum immunoglobulin (Ig) concentrations and their relationship with clinical and paraclinical features in patients with COPD group E in the stable stage. Additionally, the study focused on evaluating the relationship between serum Ig levels and the risk of exacerbations over the next 12 months, thereby clarifying the role of serum Ig deficiency in affecting the future risk for these patients.
Methods: A prospective observational study assessed IgG, IgA, IgM, and IgE levels in 67 COPD patients and 30 healthy controls at Military Hospital 103 from October 2017 to August 2020.
