Vaspin facilitates the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells
CONCLUSIONS: In summary, vaspin observably reduces HG-mediated inhibition of PDLSCs OD by modulating the TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway. Vaspin may be a potential therapeutic for periodontal tissue regeneration in diabetic patients.PMID:38699861 | DOI:10.1111/jre.13254 (Source: Cell Research)

Analysis of chemoresistance characteristics and prognostic relevance of postoperative gemcitabine adjuvant chemotherapy in pancreatic cancer
ConclusionsPatients with pancreatic cancer receiving postoperative gemcitabine adjuvant therapy are more likely to develop chemoresistance when their tumor sizes are larger (diameter>3  cm). Development of chemoresistance exacerbates the prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer, and larger tumor size is also a risk factor for poor prognosis in these patients.

GSE265976 A set of circulating microRNAs belonging to the 14q32 chromosomic locus identifies two different subgroups of individuals with recent onset Stage 3 type 1 diabetes [first cohort, targeted]
In this study, we employ a multiplatform sequencing approach to analyze circulating microRNAs in an extended cohort of individuals with T1DM from the INNODIA consortium. Our findings reveal that a set of microRNAs located within the T1DM susceptibility chromosomal locus 14q32 distinguishes two subgroups of individuals. To validate our results, we conduct additional analyses on a second cohort of T1DM individuals, confirming the identification of these subgroups, which we have named Cluster A and Cluster B. Remarkably, Cluster B T1DM individuals, who exhibit increased expression of a set of 14q32 miRNAs, show better glycaem...

Factors influencing optimal diabetes care and clinical outcomes in Thai patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a multilevel modelling analysis
Conclusion This highlights the necessity for targeted interventions to bridge urban–suburban care gaps, optimise drug prescriptions and implement comprehensive care strategies for improved glycaemic control, DR prevention and CKD progression mitigation among in Thai patients with T2DM. The value of the clinical target aggregate (ABC) and the process of care aggregate (FAACE) was also conclusively demonstrated. (Source: BMJ Open)

Financial protection and equity in the healthcare financing system in Iran: a cross-sectional study among slum dwellers with type 2 diabetes
Conclusions As a result of insufficient use of insurance, cost-coping strategies used by slum dwellers vis-à-vis T2D expenditures do not protect them from financial risks. Expanding universal health coverage and providing supplemental insurance for those with T2D living in slums are recommended. Iran Health Insurance should adequately cover the costs of T2D care for slum dwellers so that they do not need to use alternative strategies. (Source: BMJ Open)

Deciphering M üller cell heterogeneity signatures in diabetic retinopathy across species: an integrative single-cell analysis
AbstractDiabetic retinopathy (DR), a leading cause of visual impairment, demands a profound comprehension of its cellular mechanisms to formulate effective therapeutic strategies. Our study presentes a comprehensive single-cell analysis elucidating the intricate landscape of M üller cells within DR, emphasizing their nuanced involvement. Utilizing scRNA-seq data from both Sprague–Dawley rat models and human patients, we delineated distinct Müller cell clusters and their corresponding gene expression profiles. These findings were further validated through differential gene expression analysis utilizing human transcripto...

Dulaglutide restores endothelial progenitor cell levels in diabetic mice and mitigates high glucose-induced endothelial injury through SIRT1-mediated mitochondrial fission
This study investigates dulaglutide's effects on peripheral blood levels of CD34+ and CD133+ cells in a mouse model of lower limb ischemia and its protective mechanisms against high-glucose-induced damage in endothelial cells. Results demonstrated that dulaglutide significantly improves blood flow, reduces tissue damage and inflammation in ischemic limbs, and enhances glycemic control. Furthermore, dulaglutide alleviated high-glucose-induced endothelial cell damage, evident from improved tube formation, reduced reactive oxygen species accumulation, and restored endothelial junction integrity. Mechanistically, dulaglutide m...
