Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the long-term clinical outcome of patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic total occlusion (CTO) underwent drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation.
Methods: Data of 143 consecutive eligible patients from January, 2006 to May, 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. The endpoint of the study was the major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization. The patients were divided into two groups, event group and non-event group, according to the result of follow-up.
Results: Long-term follow-up was finished in 139 (97.2%) patients. Mean follow-up duration was (19.8 + or - 5.1) months. MACE rate was 10.5% during follow-up: 3 deaths, 1 myocardial infarction and 11 repeated target lesion revascularization with PCI. Compared with the non-event group, the percentage of residual lesion [(17.7 + or - 1.8)% vs. (15.4 + or - 5.0)%, P = 0.001] was significantly higher in the event group, however, the final minimal luminal diameter [(2.14 + or - 0.22)% vs. (2.89 + or - 0.37)%, P = 0.004] was lower. Cox regression analysis showed that final luminal diameter (OR: 0.097, 95%CI: 0.013 - 0.694, P = 0.020) was the only dependent predictor at follow-up.
Conclusion: Final minimal luminal diameter is an independent predictor of MACE during follow-up for patients with diabetes and CTO underwent DES implantation.

Background: Postdischarge contacts (PDCs) after hospitalization are common practice, but their effectiveness in reducing use of acute care after discharge remains unclear.
Purpose: To assess the effects of PDC on 30-day emergency department (ED) visits, 30-day hospital readmissions, and patient satisfaction.

Background: Young patients aged 16 to 25 years with type 1 diabetes (T1D) often encounter challenges related to deteriorating disease control and accelerated complications. Mobile apps have shown promise in enhancing self-care among youth with diabetes. However, inconsistent findings suggest that further evidence is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of app-based interventions.

Although MHD can prolong the survival of patients, their quality of life is lower and the fatality rate is higher. This work analyzed the factors related to the autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF)-like expansion of non-diabetic MHD patients by vascular ultrasound (VUS).

Background: Diagnosis and intervention of prediabetes is an emerging approach to preventing the progression and complications of diabetes. Inflammatory factors and dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis have been suggested as potential mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of both diabetes and depression. However, the relationship between depression levels and the prevalence of prediabetes and its prognosis remains elusive.

Objective: The effects of sex hormones remain largely unexplored in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) and gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs).
Methods: We evaluated the effects of estradiol, progesterone, Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), and testosterone on human patient-derived PPGL/GEP-NET primary culture cell viability (n = 38/n = 12), performed next-generation sequencing and immunohistochemical hormone receptor analysis in patient-derived PPGL tumor tissues (n = 36).
Results: In PPGLs, estradiol and progesterone (1 µm) demonstrated overall significant antitumor effects with the strongest efficacy in PPGLs with NF1 (cluster 2) pathogenic variants.
