This study intends to conduct a meta-analysis based on existing research results to further investigate their relationship between artificial sweetener exposure and breast cancer risk. An electronic database literature search was performed up to July 2022, using PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid and Scopus. The relationship between artificial sweetener exposure and breast cancer (BC) incidence was evaluated by odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Among the five studies (two case-control studies and three cohort studies) that met the inclusion criteria, 314,056 participants were recruited in the cohort study, 4,043 cancer cases and 3,910 controls were recruited in the case-control study. It was found that exposure of artificial sweeteners was not related to the risk of BC (OR = 0.98, 95% CI = [0.94-1.03]). Subgroup analysis showed that compared with the non-exposure/very-low-dose group, the exposure to low, medium and high doses of artificial sweeteners were not associated with the risk of BC, which were OR = 1.01, 95% CI = [0.95-1.07], OR = 0.98, 95% CI = [0.93-1.02], OR = 0.88, 95% CI = [0.74-1.06], respectively. This study confirmed that there was no relationship between the exposure of artificial sweeteners and the incidence of BC.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of preoperative intravenous mannitol on the capsulorhexis process and intraoperative complications in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).
Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, 65 PACG eyes were randomized into the mannitol and control groups. The capsulorhexis duration, number of forceps grasps, need for viscoelastic re-injection, and intraoperative complications were recorded.

The clownfish - sea anemone system is a great example of symbiotic mutualism where host «toxicity» does not impact its symbiont partner, although the underlying protection mechanism remains unclear. The regulation of nematocyst discharge in cnidarians involves N-acetylated sugars like sialic acid, that bind chemoreceptors on the tentacles of sea anemones, leading to the release of stings. It has been suggested that clownfish could be deprived of sialic acid on their skin surface, sparing them from being stung and facilitating mutualism with sea anemones.

Background: Dysfunction in podocyte mitophagy has been identified as a contributing factor to the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN), and BMAL1 plays an important role in the regulation of mitophagy. Thus, this study intended to examine the impact of BMAL1 on podocyte mitophagy in DN and elucidate its underlying mechanisms.
Materials And Methods: High D-glucose (HG)-treated MPC5 cells was used as a podocyte injury model for investigating the potential roles of BMAL1 in DN.

Glucose is a major source of energy for the brain. At the blood-brain barrier (BBB), glucose uptake is facilitated by glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome (GLUT1DS), a haploinsufficiency affecting SLC2A1, reduces glucose brain uptake.
