Purpose: This study aimed to determine the impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes prevalence in patients with essential hypertension (HT) and to compare the developed microvascular complications of these groups.

Materials And Methods: An oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed on 338 essential hypertensive cases and glucose tolerances were classified according to ADA-2002 criteria.

Results: Of the 338 cases, 32 people had diabetes (DM, 9.46%), 78 people had glucose intolerance (IGT, 23.1%), and 228 people had only hypertension but not IGT and DM (67.4%). Both the mean ages of the DM group (56.9 +/- 6.7 years, p = 0.002) and IGT group (56.3 +/- 8.4 years, p = 0.003) were older than the mean age of the control group (51.1 +/- 6.4 years). The risk of IGT development was found to be four times greater in male cases than female cases when compared to the control group (p = 0.004, add ratio = 4.194). There were no significant differences in the body mass indexes (BMI's), hypertension durations, and microvascular complications between the groups.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the risk of IGT and DM development in hypertensive cases increases with aging and longer hypertension duration. The risk of IGT development in hypertensive cases is four times more in males.

Objectives: To study the clinical manifestations and genetic characteristics of children with maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 2 (MODY2), aiming to enhance the recognition of MODY2 in clinical practice.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 13 children diagnosed with MODY2 at the Department of Pediatrics of Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from August 2017 to July 2023.

Results: All 13 MODY2 children had a positive family history of diabetes and were found to have mild fasting hyperglycemia [(6.

Translational neuroimaging techniques are needed to address the impact of opioid tolerance on brain function and quantitatively monitor the impaired neuropharmacological response to opioids at the CNS level. A multiparametric PET study was conducted in rats. Rats received morphine daily to induce tolerance (15 mg/kg/day for 5 days), followed by 2-day withdrawal.

The effects of social isolation (SI) during middle age remain unclear, so we tested the hypothesis that SI would lead to an increase in impulsive choice (IC), anxiety-like behavior, and metabolic dysfunction in middle-aged rats. Male and female rats were housed individually or in groups of four with same-sex housing mates at 11 months of age. Two months later, IC behavior was assessed using a delay-discounting task and anxiety-like behavior through a novelty-suppressed feeding (NSF) task.

Aims: To assess the utility of reanalysing GCK variants of uncertain significance (VUS) as an intervention to improve the detection of monogenic diabetes.

Methods: We examined GCK VUS in a local cohort of individuals with suspected monogenic diabetes and re-curated each variant against the recent ClinGen GCK-specific variant classification guidelines.

Results: Variant reanalysis achieved a new 'likely pathogenic' classification (i.
