Introduction: The increase in morbidity of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is observed in Poland and worldwide, particularly among the youngest patients. To prevent chronic hyperglycemia's complications, it is advised to maintain best possible metabolic control from the time of diagnosis of the disease.

Aim: The purpose of this research is to evaluate adherence to medical recommendations in regard to appropriate metabolic control of T1D in children, based on Polish Diabetes Association (PTD) 2019 criteria.

Material And Methods: The medical records of 388 patients with T1D hospitalized in our department between June 2018 and July 2019 were analyzed. Two hundred patients hospitalized for routine control tests were enrolled in the study. The patients were evaluated with respect to meeting the criteria for metabolic control recommended by PTD 2019 including gender, duration of disease and treatment technique. The relation between the percentage of HbA1c and age, duration of the disease and lipid metabolism was studied.

Results: In the assessed group 7% of patients met all PTD's criteria of metabolic control. There was a statistically significant difference in percentage of HbA1c in serum between girls and boys (12.64% vs. 26.55%, p = 0.02). The trend was observed between patients with T1D lasting less than or equal 3 years and those with long-standing disease (28.72% vs. 13.21%, p = 0.007). A significant, positive correlation was demonstrated between percentage of HbA1c and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level (r = 0.244), triglyceride (TG) level (r = 0.234) and duration of the disease (r = 0.278).

Conclusions: A low percentage of patients is able to achieve all aims stated by the PTD.

Weight cycling exacerbates glucose intolerance and hepatic triglyceride storage in mice with a history of chronic high fat diet exposure.

Background: Obese subjects undergoing weight loss often fear the Yoyo dieting effect, which involves regaining or even surpassing their initial weight. To date, our understanding of such long-term obesity and weight cycling effects is still limited and often based on only short-term murine weight gain and loss studies. This study aimed to investigate the long-term impacts of weight cycling on glycemic control and metabolic health, focusing on adipose tissue, liver, and hypothalamus.

Background: Frailty is a common geriatric syndrome worldwide, and its early identification and intervention have important clinical significance. Resistance training has been recommended as an efficient means to combat loss of muscle strength and mass; however, it is often not a prioritized option for older adults. Tai chi is a well-known traditional Chinese exercise that has a beneficial impact on physical performance, balance ability, metabolism, and immune function.

Background: Nitrogen (N) deposition has become a major driving factor affecting the balance of terrestrial ecosystems, changing the soil environment, element balance and species coexistence relationships, driving changes in biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Human-induced nitrogen input leads to a high NH/ NO ratio in soil. However, relatively few studies have investigated the effects of different nitrogen sources on forest plant-microbial symbionts.

Background: During the latter stages of their development, mammalian oocytes under dramatic chromatin reconfiguration, transitioning from a non-surrounded nucleolus (NSN) to a surrounded nucleolus (SN) stage, and concomitant transcriptional silencing. Although the NSN-SN transition is known to be essential for developmental competence of the oocyte, less is known about the accompanying molecular changes. Here we examine the changes in the transcriptome and DNA methylation during the NSN to SN transition in mouse oocytes.

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are prevalent chronic diseases effectively managed by semaglutide. Here we studied the effects of semaglutide on the circulating proteome using baseline and end-of-treatment serum samples from two phase 3 trials in participants with overweight or obesity, with or without diabetes: STEP 1 (n = 1,311) and STEP 2 (n = 645). We identified evidence supporting broad effects of semaglutide, implicating processes related to body weight regulation, glycemic control, lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways.
