Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has provided new measures of glycemic control that link to diabetes complications. This study investigated the association between time in range (TIR) assessed by CGM and diabetic retinopathy (DR).A total 3,262 patients with type 2 were recruited. TIR was defined as percentage spent within 3.9-10.0 mmol/L during a 24-h period. Measures variability (GV) well. DR determined using fundus photography graded 1) non-DR; 2) mild nonproliferative (NPDR); 3)...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) senescence is an age-related process that impairs the capacity for tissue repair and compromises clinical use of autologous MSCs regeneration. Here, we describe effects SIRT1, a NAD(+)-dependent deacetylase, on senescence. Knockdown SIRT1 in young induced cellular inhibited cell proliferation whereas overexpression aged reversed phenotype stimulated proliferation. These results suggest plays key role modulating age-induced Aging-related proteins, P16 P21 may be...

In recent years, the rapid development of mobile medical technology has provided multiple ways for long-term management chronic diseases, especially diabetes. As a new type model, smartphone apps are global, convenient, cheap, and interactive. Although were proved to be more effective at glycemic control, compared with traditional computer- Web-based telemedicine technologies, how gain further sustained improvement is still being explored.

Abstract Aim To investigate the association between a new composite metric, glycaemia risk index (GRI), and incident diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods A total of 1204 adults with type 2 diabetes without DR at baseline were included 2005 2019 from single centre in Shanghai, China. GRI was obtained continuous glucose monitoring data baseline. Cox proportion hazard regression analysis used to assess DR. Results During median follow‐up 8.4 years, 301 patients developed The...

Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disease and has been shown to involve alteration of the gut microbiota. Previous studies have primarily focused on changes in bacterial microbiome, while ignoring phage community composition. Extracellular phages can lyse host bacteria thus influence microbiota through positive or negative interactions with bacteria. We investigated extracellular phageome discussed its role T2D pathogenesis. used sequencing-based approach identify bacteriophage after...
