Article Synopsis
- A meta-analysis was conducted to examine the effectiveness of laser therapy (LT) in managing diabetic foot wound ulcers (DFWU), analyzing 1357 studies and selecting 26 with a total of 1067 patients.
- Results showed that LT led to significantly greater reductions in ulcer size and higher complete healing rates compared to control groups, with a notable decrease in ulcer sizes (mean difference of 17.04) and nearly tripled healing rates (odds ratio of 2.88).
- However, caution is advised in interpreting these results due to the low sample sizes of the studies included in the analysis.
Background: Although there is numerous evidence on the epidemiological risk factors for insulin resistance (IR)-related metabolic diseases, there is still insufficient evidence to explore the non-linear association of Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) with IR. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the non-linear relationship between AIP and IR and type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) from 2009 to 2018.
Background: Type 2 diabetic kidney disease is the most common cause of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and end-stage renal diseases (ESRD). Although kidney biopsy is considered as the 'gold standard' for diabetic kidney disease (DKD) diagnosis, it is an invasive procedure, and the diagnosis can be influenced by sampling bias and personal judgement. It is desirable to establish a non-invasive procedure that can complement kidney biopsy in diagnosis and tracking the DKD progress.

Background: and purpose: Acupoint therapy is suggested as a potential intervention for treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This review assessed current evidence for the effect of acupoint therapy on NAFLD.
Methods: Eight electronic databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients with NAFLD treated by acupoint therapy from their inception to August 2020.
Background: Huanglian Jiedu Decoction (HLJDD) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula comprising four herbal medicines. This decoction has long been used in China for clinically treating T2DM. However, the molecular mechanism of HLJDD treat for T2DM is still not fully known.
