Background: This study aimed to measure the level of serum high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs CRP), urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), lipid profile, and their association in diabetics.
Methodology: One hundred and fifty diabetic patients were classified into three groups of 50 each. Group I were newly diagnosed with <5 years of diabetes, Group II were those having 5-10 years of diabetes, and Group III were diabetics with more than 10 years of diabetes. Lipid profile, hs-CRP level, and ACR were measured.
Results: There was a correlation between hS CRP and ACR and triglyceride in Group I, hS CRP with ACR and triglyceride in Group I. In group II hS CRP showed significant correlation with ACR whereas in Group III significant correlation was observed with ACR, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and cholesterol.
Conclusion: The level of hS CRP and ACR was found to be higher in patients with a longer duration of diabetes.

Background: Glycholic acid (GCA) can dynamically reflect the process of liver injury, and can be used for early diagnosis and curative effect evaluation of early hepatitis and cirrhosis. The highly sensitive detection of liver injury markers is conducive to a more accurate and effective auxiliary diagnosis of liver diseases. In addition, the low trigger potential helps to avoid more chemical interference and improve the detection sensitivity.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the relationship between serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, IGF-1, and beta-2 microglobulin in elderly patients with cognitive dysfunction after ischemic stroke.
- Data from 160 geriatric patients were analyzed, revealing that lower levels of 25-OH-VD and IGF-1 were linked to worse cognitive scores, while higher β2-MG levels correlated with greater cognitive decline.
- Factors such as diabetes, low education levels, age, and certain serum markers were identified as independent risk factors for developing cognitive dysfunction post-stroke, suggesting the importance of monitoring these serum levels in clinical settings.

Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is an important antigen in the tumor microenvironment, which plays a crucial role in promoting extracellular matrix remodeling and tumor cell metastasis. A circulating form of soluble FAP has also been identified in the serum, becoming a biomarker for pan-cancer diagnosis and prognosis. However, the current peptide substrate-based enzymatic activity detection or antibody-dependent detection methods have been hindered by insufficient selectivity and complex operations, so it is valuable to develop effective nucleic acid aptamers as FAP affinity ligands.

Article Synopsis
- Older adults often face inflammation and poor nutrition, which can impact their iron levels.
- The study evaluated the diets of healthy older individuals, measuring their iron markers and inflammation indicators compared to younger adults.
- Results indicated that a pro-inflammatory diet in older adults leads to higher levels of inflammation and disrupted iron management, particularly influencing ferritin and hepcidin concentrations.
Effect of Low- and Moderate-Intensity Aerobic Training on Body Composition Cardiorespiratory Functions, Biochemical Risk Factors and Adipokines in Morbid Obesity.

Background: Obesity poses an enormous public health and economic burden worldwide. Visceral fat accumulation is associated with various metabolic and cardiovascular consequences, resulting in an increased prevalence of atherosclerotic conditions. We aimed to examine the impact of low-and moderate-intensity aerobic training on several anthropometric and cardiorespiratory parameters and markers of atherosclerosis, including inflammation, serum levels of lipoproteins and adipokines of extremely obese patients in poor condition.
