Changes of CA19-9 levels and related influencing factors in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus after antidiabetic therapy.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Affiliated Xiaoshan Hospital, Hangzhou Normal University/Zhejiang Xiaoshan Hospital, 728 Yucai North Road, Hangzhou, 311200, China.
Abnormalities of carbohydrate antigen 19 - 9 (CA19-9) are common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and in some patients, CA19-9 returns to normal level after glycemic control. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with CA19-9 levels in patients with T2DM and the associated influences on the degree of reduction of CA19-9 levels after antidiabetic therapy (AT). This study was an observational cross-sectional study.

Eur Radiol
January 2025
Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, University Hospital of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany.
Objectives: We hypothesized that semiquantitative visual scoring of lung MRI is suitable for GOLD-grade specific characterization of parenchymal and airway disease in COPD and that MRI scores correlate with quantitative CT (QCT) and pulmonary function test (PFT) parameters.
Methods: Five hundred ninety-eight subjects from the COSYCONET study (median age = 67 (60-72)) at risk for COPD or with GOLD1-4 underwent PFT, same-day paired inspiratory/expiratory CT, and structural and contrast-enhanced MRI. QCT assessed total lung volume (TLV), emphysema, and air trapping by parametric response mapping (PRM, PRM) and airway disease by wall percentage (WP).
[Study of the feasibility of polar body transfer combined with preimplantation genetic testing for blocking the intergenerational transmission of mitochondrial genetic diseases].
Zhonghua Yi Xue Yi Chuan Xue Za Zhi
January 2025
Reproductive Medicine Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Hefei, Anhui 230022, China.
Objective: To assess the feasibility of first polar body transfer (PB1T) combined with preimplantation mitochondrial genetic testing for blocking the transmission of a pathogenic mitochondrial DNA 8993T>G mutation.
Methods: A Chinese family affected with Leigh syndrome which had attended the Reproductive Medicine Centre of the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University in September 2021 was selected as the study subject. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation was carried out for the proband after completing the detection of the mitochondrial DNA 8993T>G mutation load among the pedigree members.
Pituitary abnormalities in patients with pediatric growth hormone deficiency in a single tertiary center.
Ann Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, Dankook University Hospital, Dankook University College of Medicine, Cheonan, Korea.
Purpose: There is controversy as to whether brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed on all children with growth hormone deficiency (GHD) including those judged to have mild GHD. This study was aimed to determine the frequency of pituitary or intracranial abnormalities in pediatric GHD and to identify risk factors that may predict pituitary or intracranial abnormalities.
Methods: A total of 95 pediatric GHD patients were included.
Vesicoureteral Reflux in Transplanted Kidney Among Children With Congenital Anomalies of Kidney and Urinary Tract: Case-Control Study Assessing Impact on Renal Function and Graft Survival.
Pediatr Transplant
February 2025
Department of Pediatric Kidney Transplantation, Hospital Samaritano de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
Background: Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) are a common cause of kidney failure in childhood. Renal transplantation is the modality of treatment used for kidney failure that promotes improved quality of life for pediatric patients. It is believed that patients with CAKUT are more predisposed to developing graft reflux in the post-transplant period, but its influence on graft survival is poorly understood.
