The nutritional management of a patient discharged from a primary hospital will not end just there. The nutritional management information issued by the primary hospital is required when a patient moves to a next institute.We,the Nutritional Support Team(NST), make a nutrition summary report in addition to letters written by the doctor and the ward in charge. We investigated a total of 64 patients three months after their discharge, and followed them for a year since April 2008. On some patients, the nutritional care had to be changed in accordance with the facility and the patients' primary disease status.In order for the nutrition management to be continued, a bidirectional communication exchange between the primary hospital and acute phase hospital is essential. In other words, a seamless nutritional management for patients has to be executed. When the disease condition of the patient has changed, the host institution must consult with us about the new nutritional care to the patient. On the other hand, we should keep in touch to reduce a communication distance in the region.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a major metabolic disease endangering global health, with diabetic nephropathy (DN) as a primary complication lacking curative therapy. Sporoderm-broken spores of (GLP), an herbal medicine, has been used for the treatment of metabolic disorders. In this study, DN was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats using streptozotocin (STZ) and a high-fat diet (HFD), and the protective mechanisms of GLP were investigated through transcriptomic, metabolomic, and network pharmacology (NP) analyses.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) constitutes the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide. Progression to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the immune cell reservoir within the liver undergoes remodeling, exacerbating liver inflammation and potentially leading to liver fibrosis. Jiangtang Qingre Formula (JQF) is an effective prescription for the clinical treatment of NAFLD.

Immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, has yielded remarkable outcomes for some patients with solid cancers, but others do not respond to these treatments. Recent research has identified the gut microbiota as a key modulator of immune responses, suggesting that its composition is closely linked to responses to ICI therapy in cancer treatment. As a result, the gut microbiome is gaining attention as a potential biomarker for predicting individual responses to ICI therapy and as a target for enhancing treatment efficacy.

Diabetes mellitus, characterized by high blood glucose due to inadequate insulin action, comprises two main types: type 1, an autoimmune disease, and type 2, marked by insulin resistance. This review provides a comprehensive overview of diabetes management and treatment advancements. Effective diabetes management includes maintaining blood glucose levels within normal ranges and monitoring HbA1c, a marker reflecting average glucose levels over the past few months.
