Objective: To investigate the effect of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and glycated albumin (GA) on serum CA199 in diabetic patients.
Methods: 29 NGT matched control subjects and 371 hospitalized diabetic patients were enrolled. Diabetic patients were divided into satisfactory group (< 6.5%), general group (6.5%-7.5%) and dissatisfactory group (> 7.5%) by the level of HbA1c. The levels of serum CA199 among three groups were compared. The relationship between HbA1c and CA199, GA and CA199 was analysed. Multiple stepwise regression analysis was performed to compare the effect of different variables on CA199 as the independent variables were sex, age, duration, TC, TG, HDL, LDL, FBG, PBG, HbA1c and GA.
Results: (1) CA199 level of the group of HbA1c above 7.5% was significantly higher than the group of HbA1c between 6.5% and 7.5% and the group of HbA1c less than 6.5%. (2) The coefficient of correlation between HbA1c and CA199 was 0.394 (P = 0.000), and that was 0.381 between GA and CA199 (P = 0.000). (3) Multiple stepwise regression analysis show standard regression coefficient of HbA1c is 0.364 (P = 0.000).
Conclusion: (1) CA199 level of diabetic patient in poor glucose control was significantly higher than the patient in good control. (2) CA199 was positively correlated with FBG, PBG, HbA1c and GA. (3) HbA1c is the independent risk factor of CA199. The elevated CA199 in diabetic patient has close relationship with poor glucose control in a long period.

Arterial hypertension and increased atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) are strong predictors of cardiovascular risk associated in individuals with obesity both in adults and children. Thus, we aimed to explore the relationship between AIP and systolic ambulatory blood pressure index (sABPI) with left ventricular geometry pattern in obese children. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 129 obese children (BMI greater or equal to the 95th percentile for age and sex) were examined.

Background: Obesity is the primary cause of metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Healthy lifestyle management has potential value in the treatment of MASLD.
Methods: A total of 150 patients with MASLD diagnosed at the Health Management Center of our hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into a traditional treatment (control group, n=75) and healthy lifestyle group (observation group, n=75).

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease associated with numerous complications, including cardiovascular diseases, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, a class of novel antidiabetic agents, have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects beyond glycemic control, with potential benefits extending to the cardiovascular and renal systems. Recently, research has increasingly focused on exploring the potential role of SGLT-2 inhibitors in preventing dementia.

Background: Insulin pumps coupled with continuous glucose monitoring sensors use algorithms to analyze real-time blood glucose levels. This allows for the suspension of insulin administration before hypoglycemic thresholds are reached or for adaptive tuning in hybrid closed-loop systems. This longitudinal retrospective study aims to analyze real-world glycemic outcomes in a pediatric population transitioning to such devices.

Background/objectives: Previous studies have shown that primary care (PC) professionals have a low knowledge about the management of patients with type 2 diabetes, despite being one of the most common chronic diseases. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of an educational program for health professionals on the metabolic control of their patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: This work follows a quasi-experimental longitudinal design following a double perspective.
