AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the impact of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) on nondiabetic patients undergoing maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD).
- A total of 362 patients were analyzed over a 2-year period, classifying them into diabetic, nondiabetic with IFG, and nondiabetic with normal glucose levels.
- Results indicated that IFG significantly increased the risk of mortality, alongside age, suggesting that IFG is a treatable risk factor in this patient population.
Article Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate clinical significance of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) in nondiabetic patients on maintenance peritoneal dialysis (PD).
Methods: In total, 362 maintenance PD patients were enrolled and followed up for 2-years. According to 1997 definitions, patients were divided into 3 groups: diabetic (n = 85), nondiabetic with IFG (n = 62) and nondiabetic with normal fasting glucose levels (n = 215). After basal data were collected for cross-sectional analyses, mortality and cause of death were recorded for longitudinal analyses.
Results: After adjusting for related variables by multivariate logistic regression analysis, IFG was found to be positively associated with age but negatively associated with normalized protein nitrogen appearance and transferrin saturation in nondiabetic maintenance PD patients. Thirty nondiabetic patients had died after the 2-year follow-up. Cox multivariate analysis showed that age (hazard ratio: 1.037; 95% confidence interval: 1.002-1.073; P = 0.036) and presence of IFG (hazard ratio: 2.719; 95% confidence interval: 1.082-6.833; P = 0.033) were significant risk factors for all-cause 2-year mortality in nondiabetic maintenance PD patients.
Conclusions: IFG, a preventable and treatable condition, was associated with all-cause 2-year mortality in nondiabetic maintenance PD patients.

In the acute stage of stroke, stress hyperglycemia is common in both diabetic and nondiabetic patients. The associations between stress hyperglycemia and functional outcomes, as well as stroke recurrence were heterogeneous in previous studies. We aimed to demonstrate these associations in a general population of patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA).

Background: Immunotherapy is beneficial for some colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, but immunosuppressive networks limit its effectiveness. Cancer-associatedfibroblasts (CAFs) are significant in immune escape and resistance toimmunotherapy, emphasizing the urgent need for new treatment strategies.
Methods: Flow cytometric, Western blotting, proteomics analysis, analysis of public database data, genetically modified cell line models, T cell coculture, crystal violetstaining, ELISA, metabonomic and clinical tumour samples were conducted to assess the role of EDEM3 in immune escape and itsmolecular mechanisms.

Background: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major public health concerns linked to cognitive decline with aging. Prior work from our lab has demonstrated that short-term high fat diet (HFD) rapidly impairs memory function via a neuroinflammatory mechanism. However, the degree to which these rapid inflammatory changes are unique to the brain is unknown.

Purpose Of The Review: Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) represent foods that have undergone substantial industrial processing, such as the addition of preservatives and various other ingredients, thereby making them more tasty, appealing and easy to consume. UPFs are often rich in sugars, saturated fats and salt, while they are low in essential nutrients.The aim of this review is to examine the relationship between the widespread consumption of UPFs and the development of obesity among children and adolescents.

Heavy alcohol consumption is a known risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D), However, the moderating effect of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels remains unclear. This study explores the relationship between alcohol intake and T2D risk across FPG strata in a Japanese cohort. Data from 15,453 participants in the NAGALA cohort were analyzed over 5.
