Medicinal fungi Phellinus igniarius exhibited hypoglycemic effects; however, the protective mechanisms of P. igniarius on type 2 diabetes are not yet fully understood. Herein, the anti-diabetic effect of P.

Calf circumference change and all-cause mortality among community-dwelling Chinese older people.

Background: Previous studies have described an association between single time point calf circumference (CC) and mortality. Evidence of associations between CC change and mortality is lacking. We aimed to determine the relationship between the CC change over time and all-cause mortality.

Intercellular mitochondrial transfer as a means of revitalizing injured glomerular endothelial cells.

Background: Recent studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can rescue injured target cells mitochondrial transfer. However, it has not been fully understood how bone marrow-derived MSCs repair glomeruli in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).

Aim: To explore the mitochondrial transfer involved in the rescue of injured glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) by MSCs, both and .

Relationship Between Blood Glucose Level and Prevalence and Frequency of Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between blood glucose level and the prevalence and frequency of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of female participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey database between 2007 and 2016. Dose-response analysis curves and univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to determine the relationship between blood glucose level and the prevalence and frequency of SUI.
