The risks and benefits of metformin use in patients with cirrhosis diabetes are debated. Although data on a protective effect against liver cancer development have been reported, is frequently discontinued once diagnosed because concerns about an increased risk adverse effects impairment. This study investigated whether continuation after diagnosis improves survival diabetes. Diabetic between 2000 2010 who were at the time identified (n = 250). Data retrospectively abstracted from medical...

Growing evidence suggests that pretransplant alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) predicts outcomes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with liver transplantation. We aimed to determine whether AFP, Lens culinaris agglutinin‐reactive (AFP‐L3), and des‐gamma‐carboxyprothrombin (DCP) predicted HCC recurrence after A retrospective cohort study 313 undergoing transplantation between 2000 2008 was conducted, 48 (15.3%) developed during a median follow‐up 90.8 months. The 127 available serum...

Abstract Background The prevalence of hypertensive heart disease (HHD) is high and there currently no easy way to detect early HHD. Explore the application radiomics using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) non-enhanced cine sequences in diagnosing HHD latent changes caused by hypertension. Methods 132 patients who underwent CMR scanning were divided into groups: (42), hypertension with normal structure function (HWN) group (46), control (NOR) (44). Myocardial regions end-diastolic (ED)...

Mitochondrial dysfunction-induced apoptosis plays a crucial role in the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Sestrin2 is an important oxidative stress response protein and involved maintenance mitochondrial function, especially under stress. The aim present study was to investigate DCM explore underlying mechanisms. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were induced with high glucose (HG) medium (33 mmol/l glucose) for vitro model. C57BL/6 mice vivo model by intraperitoneal streptozotocin injection....

Diabetic cardiomyopathy increases the risk of heart failure and is one major causes death in patients with diabetes. The present study investigated expression function tumor necrosis factor receptor‑associated protein 1 (TRAP1) cardiomyocytes a hyperglycemic state. For vitro study, H9c2 cells (rat cardiomyoblasts) were treated normal glucose, high glucose. TRAP1 was determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR western blot analysis.

Patient-centered care is respectful to a patient's preference. All prior clinical trials on patient self-titration algorithms for basal insulin were decided by physicians. We hypothesized that patients and physicians have different preferences.Physicians diabetes asked choose their preferred glargine algorithm among 5 algorithms.

Introduction Subcutaneous administration of insulin is the preferred method for achieving glucose control in non-critically ill patients with diabetes. Glucose-based titration protocols were widely applied clinical practice. However, most these algorithms are experience-based and there considerable variability complexity. This study aimed to compare effectiveness safety a weight-based algorithm versus glucose-based hospitalized type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Research design methods...
