Aims: To develop a metric termed the diabetic retinopathy-related homeostatic dysregulation (DRHD) value, and estimate its association with future risk of mortality in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Methods: With the data of the NHANES, the biomarkers associated with DR were identified from 40 clinical parameters using LASSO regression. Subsequently, the DRHD value was constructed utilizing the Mahalanobis distance approach. In the retrospective cohortof 6420 type 2 diabetes patients, we estimated the associations between DRHD values and mortality related to all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes-specific causes using Cox proportional hazards regression models.
Results: A set of 14 biomarkers associated with DR was identified for the construction of DRHD value. During an average of 8 years of follow-up, the multivariable-adjusted HRs and corresponding 95 % CIs for the highest quartiles of DRHD values were 2.04 (1.76, 2.37), 2.32 (1.78, 3.01), and 2.29 (1.72, 3.04) for all-cause, CVD and diabetes-specific mortality, respectively. Furthermore, we developed a web-based calculator for the DRHD value to enhance its accessibility and usability (https://dzwxl-drhd.streamlit.app/).
Conclusions: Our study constructed the DRHD value as a measure to assess homeostatic dysregulation among individuals with type 2 diabetes. The DRHD values exhibited potential as a prognostic indicator for retinopathy and for mortality in patients affected by type 2 diabetes.

Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common form of dementia among the elderly, affects numerous individuals worldwide. Despite advances in understanding the molecular underpinnings of AD pathology, effective treatments to prevent or cure the disease remain elusive. AD is characterized not only by pathological hallmarks such as amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles but also by impairments in synaptic physiology, circuit activity and cognitive function.

Originally discovered in the 1890s, the complement system has traditionally been viewed as a "compliment" to the body's innate and adaptive immune response. However, emerging data have shown that the complement system is a much more complex mechanism within the body involved in regulating inflammation, gene transcription, attraction of macrophages, and many more processes. Sustained complement activation contributes to autoimmunity and chronic inflammation.

Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) polymorphisms modify the risk of Alzheimer's disease with ApoE4 strongly increasing and ApoE2 modestly decreasing risk relative to the control ApoE3. To investigate how ApoE isoforms alter risk, we measured changes in proteome homeostasis in transgenic mice expressing a human ApoE gene (isoform 2, 3, or 4). The regulation of each protein's homeostasis is observed by measuring turnover rate and abundance for that protein.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the role of physical exercises as a non-pharmacological intervention for ameliorating post-stroke dysregulated homeostatic parameters.
Methods: Embase, PubMed, PEDro, ISI Web of Science and CENTRAL were searched until April 2024. Parallel randomised controlled trials (RCTs) analysing the effect of post-stroke physical exercises (PSPE) on homeostatic parameters such as blood glucose, oxygen consumption (VO), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in individuals with stroke were selected.

Glaucoma comprises a heterogeneous set of eye conditions that cause progressive vision loss. Glaucoma has a complex etiology, with different genetic and non-genetic risk factors that differ across populations. Although difficult to diagnose in early stages, compromised cellular signaling, dysregulation of genes, and homeostatic imbalance are common precursors to injury and subsequent death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).
