LncRNA LINC01018 Screens Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Regulates β Cell Function Through Modulating miR-499a-5p
This study aimed to confirm the abnormal expression of LINC01018 in T2DM and reveals its specific function in regulating pancreatic β cell function. This study enrolled 77 T2DM patients and 41 healthy individuals and compared the plasma LINC01018 levels between two groups using PCR. The pancreatic β cell was induced with 25 mM glucose to mimic cell injury during T2DM. The effects of LINC01018 on β cell proliferation, dedifferentiation, and insulin production were evaluated by CCK8, western blotting, and ELISA. Moreover, the involvement of miR-499a-5...

Does the Association of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Really Have a Protective Role?
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2065-0845The study is an investigation of aggressive tumor features, prognosis, and disease-specific mortality rates of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in the presence of concomitant Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis (HT). The data of patients with DTC followed in our tertiary care center between 2000–2022 were analyzed. Variables such as patient age, gender, preoperative serum autoantibody levels, tumor characteristics, and treatment modalities were obtained from medical records.

Metabolic-Related Index to Predict Post-Transplantation Diabetes Mellitus After Kidney Transplantation
This article aims to explore the convenient and inexpensive values of metabolic-related markers, including TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, and non-HDL-C/HDL-C for predicting PTDM. The data of 191 kidney transplant recipients in our center were collected retrospectively. The association between TyG, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, non-HDL-C/HDL-C and the risk of PTDM was examined by the area under the curve and logistic regression analyses. During 6 months follow-up, 12.04% of KT recipients developed PTDM, and significantly higher values of TyG-BMI, TyG, and non-HDL...

Risk Factors for Lymph Node Metastasis in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Retrospective Study
This study was aimed to investigate the risk factors of various types of LNM in PTC with tumor diameter>1 cm. The clinical data of 2216 PTC patients were retrospectively analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors of LNM. In addition, the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to find the best cut-off value of CLNM for predicting LLNM. Finally, the independent risk factors of LLNM were used to construct the prediction of LLNM nomogram. Age≤55 years old, male, bilat...

Consequence of Dementia and Cognitive Impairment by Primary Nucleation Pathway
Horm Metab Res 2023; 55: 304-314 DOI: 10.1055/a-2052-8462An acquired loss of cognition in several cognitive domains that is severe enough to interfere with social or professional functioning is called dementia. As well as a moderately in-depth mental status examination by a clinician to identify impairments in memory, language, attention, visuospatial cognition, such as spatial orientation, executive function, and mood, the diagnosis of dementia requires a history evaluating for cognitive decline and impairment in daily activities, with confirmation from a close f...

Detailed Review on Gestational Diabetes Mellitus with Emphasis on Pathophysiology, Epidemiology, Related Risk Factors, and its Subsequent Conversion to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Horm Metab Res 2023; 55: 295-303 DOI: 10.1055/a-2061-9441Any degree of glucose intolerance during the pregnancy of a women is termed as Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM). It may further develop into Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) later in life. GDM affects both mother and infant in multiple ways and there are various factors that predispose the development of GDM.The primary objective of this review is to describe the various aspects related to GDM and the subsequent risk of developing T2DM later in life.We reviewed freely accessible, full-text articles, availa...

Mir-629 Repressed LATS2 Expression and Promoted the Proliferation of Prostate Cancer Cells
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2065-0954MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been discovered to play critical role in regulating prostate cancer (PC) progression. The function role of miR-629 in tumor progression of PC has not been studied. Here, we found that miR-629 was markedly upregulated in PC as determined using the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) dataset, clinical tissues, and cell lines. Functional analysis (MTT assays, colony formation assays, soft agar growth assay and BrdU incorporation assay) indicated that overexpression of miR-629 was drastically promoted, while miR-62...

Association Between Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Vertebral Fracture
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2059-8830Suppression of TSH levels associated with levothyroxine treatment is a known risk factor for fracture. However, it is unclear whether patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) have a higher risk of vertebral fracture (VF) before TSH suppression. The aim of the study was to examine whether the risk of VF is higher in PTC than in healthy subjects. A hospital-based, matched case-control study was conducted comparing PTC and healthy individuals. We enrolled 43 postoperative patients with PTC scheduled for radioiodine therap...

CCND1-Induced Autophagy Contributes to Lymph Node Metastasis in Endometrial Cancer
Horm Metab Res DOI: 10.1055/a-2044-9227Endometrial cancer with lymph node metastasis shows poor prognosis, while the biomarker to predict the metastasis is lacking. The relative mRNA or protein expression of cyclin D1 (CCND1) and autophagy-related molecules were detected in real-time PCR and Western blot. Correlation analysis was applied to identify any significant patterns, and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) was performed to assess the prediction value. CCND1 vector was transfected in Ishikawa (ISK) cells, and the relative expression of autophagy-relate...
