Aim: To evaluate the impact of hyperglycemia concurrent with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on endothelial function (EF) and vessel remodeling in patients with Grade 1-2 hypertension.
Material And Methods: A total of 101 patients with Grade 1-2 hypertension were examined. A study group (SG) consisted of 74 hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A control group (CG) comprised 27 persons with isolated blood pressure (BP) elevation. The patients with T2DM underwent cardiorespiratory sleep monitoring, the readings of which were used to divide SG into 2 subgroups: 1) patients with an apnea-hypopnea index of <30 episodes/h (SG-1); 2) those with an index of >30 episodes/h (SG-2). 24-hour BP and vascular stiffness monitoring was made; EF was evaluated; common carotid artery diameter (CCAD) and intima-media thickness (IMT) were determined.
Results: The diabetic patients showed lower central diastolic BP and higher aortic pulse BP. Unlike the comparison group, the diabetic patients with severe OSAS were found to have the highest central pulse wave propagation velocity at night. There was a preponderance of an average nocturnal arterial rigidity index, average daily and average nocturnal BP rising rates, and shorter reflected wave propagation time in the diabetic patients. The mean level of flow-mediated vasodilation was significantly reduced in SG-2. The diabetic patients, unlike the controls, were ascertained to have decreased absolute responsiveness index values. There were increases in IMT and CCAD in SG-2.
Conclusion: OSAS worsens EF and vessel rigidity in patients with T2DM concurrent with hypertension.

Evidence regarding the relationship between free triiodothyronine (FT3) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate the association between FT3 and LDL-C levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who exhibit normal thyroid function. Between June 2022 and October 2023, a total of 3011 inpatients with T2DM and euthyroid status were continuously and non-selectively recruited from a Chinese hospital.

Objective: Dysregulation of lipid metabolism can be one of the pathophysiological mechanisms linking high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) dysfunction to obesity. The aim of the study is to show possible changes in lipid metabolism with atherogenic indices in obese patients after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) surgery.
Method: Thirty patients who had SG surgery for obesity were included in the prospective study.

Background: With the aging of the population, the deterioration of visual and auditory functions amongst the elderly has attracted much attention. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are common eye and ear diseases that seriously affect the quality of life of elderly population.
Methods: This study utilised a whole cohort sampling method, with a total of 713 participants aged 50 years and older in the community from June 2022 to October 2023, resulting in the inclusion of 620 participants.

Background: Chronic hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers, present significant safety concerns, patient burdens, and challenges to health care systems globally.
Objective: To review the mechanism of action and clinical function of bromelain-based enzymatic debridement (BBD) in the context of wound care, focusing on the mechanism of action of BBD and its formulation for chronic wounds in particular.
Methods: A literature review was conducted to assess both bromelain's mechanism of action as well as clinical and preclinical studies on the use of BBD, searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for articles published between November 1992 and July 2024.
