Background: Traditional risk factors cannot accurately predict cardiovascular events (CVE) in type 2 diabetes (T2D). The LIPOCAT study aimed to prospectively evaluate the clinical utility of advanced lipoprotein characteristics and glycoproteins to predict future cardiovascular events (CVE) in a large cohort of subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D).

Methods: From four different Spanish prospective cohorts, a total of 933 T2D subjects were selected to form the LIPOCAT study. Advanced 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR) analysis included lipoprotein (Liposcale®) and glycoprotein (Glycoscale) profiling. Random forest classification models and Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristics (AUROC) analysis were used to assess the differential contribution of advanced variables in predicting CVE. Validation was performed using an external cohort.

Results: Out of 933 T2D subjects, 104 reported a CVE during follow-up. Analysis of Liposcale®/Glycoscale uncovered elevations in the circulating VLDL-cholesterol(C), remnant IDL-triglycerides (TG) and LDL-TG in subjects with CVE, along with glycoproteins (Glyc) A and B. Moreover, the incorporation of advanced Liposcale® variables to a base model constructed with traditional risk factors significantly improved the prediction of CVE, as evidenced by 1.5-fold increase in the C statistic (AUROC), reaching AUROC values of 0.756. In the independent validation cohort, similar improvements in AUROC values were observed by adding the advanced variables to the traditional models.

Conclusions: Advanced 1H-NMR analysis revealed previously hidden lipoprotein and glycoprotein characteristics associated with CVE in T2D subjects.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clinical construct that conglomerates risk factors interconnected with cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. More than a thousand million individuals in the world were diagnosed with MetS in 2018. Our objective was to examine the prevalence of MetS and its components among Mexican adults.

The restricted mean survival time has been widely used in the field of medical research because of its clear physical and simple clinical interpretation. In this paper, we propose an efficient estimation that incorporates the auxiliary restricted mean survival information into the estimation of the proportional hazard (PH) model. Compared to conventional models that do not incorporate available auxiliary information, the proposed method improves efficiency in estimating regression parameters by utilizing the double empirical likelihood method.

Regulation of the immune microenvironment by SUMO in diabetes mellitus.

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Jiujiang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jiujiang, Jiangxi, China.

Post-translational modifications such as SUMOylation are crucial for the functionality and signal transduction of a diverse array of proteins. Analogous to ubiquitination, SUMOylation has garnered significant attention from researchers and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various human diseases in recent years, such as cancer, neurological lesions, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and so on. The pathogenesis of diabetes, particularly type 1 and type 2 diabetes, has been closely associated with immune dysfunction, which constitutes the primary focus of this review.

Circulating short-chain and branched short-chain fatty acids and the risk of incident type 2 diabetes: findings from the 4C study.

Life Metab

Department of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Shanghai Institute of Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200025, China.

Previous studies suggested that fecal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and branched short-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) are associated with glucose regulation. However, the potential relationship between circulating SCFAs and BCFAs with incident diabetes risk in both men and women remains unidentified in prospective cohort studies. In this study, we examined a panel of nine serum SCFAs and BCFAs in 3414 subjects with incident diabetes, and matched normoglycemic controls from the China Cardiometabolic Disease and Cancer Cohort study.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease with high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Observational studies have shown correlations between common extrapulmonary comorbidities and COPD, but the existence of correlations does not necessarily prove a causal association. Therefore, causal relationships between diseases need to be explored by means of causal inference methods.
