Objectives: We aimed to quantitatively analyze wall shear stress (WSS) of the common carotid artery (CCA) and elucidate the relationship between WSS and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using ultrasound vector flow (V-Flow) imaging.
Methods: A total of 109 T2DM patients were selected as the DM group, while 49 healthy volunteers served as the control group. V-Flow examination of the bilateral CCA was conducted.
Case report: Novel germline c.587delA pathogenic variant in familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.

Article Synopsis
- - Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare genetic disorder that leads to various endocrine system tumors due to mutations affecting the menin protein, which functions as a tumor suppressor.
- - A case study of a 14-year-old boy revealed he had insulinoma and primary hyperparathyroidism linked to a new mutation, c.587delA, in the MEN1 gene, which affects protein synthesis.
- - Interestingly, this same mutation was found in the boy's father, who also had hyperparathyroidism, highlighting genetic anticipation where related family members experience different clinical symptoms despite the same genetic change.
Article Synopsis
- Liver cancer is a serious global health issue, with surgical resection as the main treatment option, but malnutrition significantly affects patient outcomes and survival.
- This study reviews recent literature on how malnutrition impacts liver cancer surgery patients and emphasizes the importance of proper nutritional assessment and support.
- The authors advocate for a multidisciplinary team approach to nutritional management during the perioperative period to improve patients' nutritional status and enhance surgical success and recovery.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
June 2022
A case of hypoglycemic coma caused by a giant borderline phyllodes tumor of the breast has been described. The patient, a 63-year-old woman, was admitted with recurrent unconsciousness. She had a giant breast tumor with decreased blood glucose, insulin, and C-peptide.

Recently, mitochondrial DNA (MtDNA) has moved into the spotlight as a "damage-associated molecular pattern" (DAMP) agent that can potentially elicit inflammation. Yet, the roles of this mitochondrial DAMP have never been investigated in sarcopenia.

- Hyperparathyroidism can lead to hypercalcemia, and spontaneous remission after a hypercalcemic crisis due to parathyroid adenomas is rare.
- A case study of a 47-year-old male showed that his hypercalcemia resolved on its own after a hypercalcemic crisis, with pathology confirming intracystic hemorrhage in his adenomas.
- The study emphasizes evaluating clinical symptoms and parathyroid function changes to determine the best surgical timing in similar cases.
Objective: This study is performed to investigate the effect of long chain noncoding RNA myocardial infarction associated transcript 1 (MIRT1) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in aged diabetic rats.
Methods: The aged diabetic rat model and myocardial I/R injury model were established. Through injecting MIRT1 siRNA into caudal vein of rats, the cardiac function, myocardial pathological injury, myocardial fibrosis, cardiomyocytes apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammatory injury of myocardial tissue of rats were measured.
Human Growth Hormone (hGH) includes two main variants. The first is 22kDa GH (22K-GH), which is predominant in the blood circulation. The second most abundant variant is 20K-GH, which makes up 5-10% of the blood circulation.
