Carbon budget and evaluation of marine industry in Jiangsu Province, China.

The measurement and evaluation of carbon budget of marine industry is the basis for promoting green and efficient development of marine economy under the goal of carbon neutrality. We constructed a carbon accounting system for the marine industry in Jiangsu Province, and assessed carbon efficiency and neutrality. The results showed that from 2016 to 2020, the total amount of marine carbon sinks in Jiangsu Province were 894.

Effects of Variability in Glycemic Indices on Longevity in Chinese Centenarians.

Background: Large fluctuations in blood glucose levels greatly impact the health and life span of elderly individuals. This study describes the characteristics of variability in glycemic indices in centenarians with the aim of emphasizing the importance of glycemic variability in elderly people.

Methods: We recruited individuals from Rugao City, Jiangsu Province, China from April 2020 to May 2021.

Association of body mass index and age with incident diabetes in Chinese adults: a population-based cohort study.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is increasing in young adults, and greater adiposity is considered a major risk factor. However, whether there is an association between obesity and diabetes and how this might be impacted by age is not clear. Therefore, we investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and diabetes across a wide range of age groups (20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70 and ≥70 years old).

Relationship between Anemia and Chronic Complications in Chinese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Aims: To evaluate the potential association of anemia with micro- and macrovascular complications in Chinese patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: A total of 1997 patients with T2DM were included in this cross-sectional study. Patients were defined as anemic, if hemoglobin (Hb) levels were < 13 g/dL in males and < 12 g/dL in females.

Factors associated with diabetic retinopathy in chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective. To investigate the risk factors of DR in Chinese T2DM patients. Methods.

[Expression and role of integrin-linking kinase in renal tubulointerstitial lesion of aging rats].

Objective: To explore the expression and role of integrin-linking kinase (ILK) in aging rats subjected to unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO).

Methods: The UUO model and sham-operated rats (SHAM) were established with 3-month-old rats and 26-month-old rats and the rats were sacrificed before UUO and after UUO at 3, 7 and 14 days. Immunofluorescent staining, Western blot, RT-PCR, etc were applied to detect the expressions of ILK and fibronectin (FN) in the renal of UUO rat at each time point.
