ObjectiveTo investigate the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the level of serum homocysteine (Hcy) in association with the incidence of stroke in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. MethodsBased on the chronic disease risk factor surveillance cohort in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, excluding those with stroke in baseline survey, T2DM patients who joined the cohort from January 2016 to October 2020 were selected as the research subjects. During the follow-up period, a total of 318 new-onset ischemic stroke patients were selected as the case group, and a total of 318 individuals matched by gender without stroke were selected as the control group. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to adjust for confounding factors and explore the serum TyG index and the Hcy biochemical indicator in association with the risk of stroke. ResultsThe Cox proportional hazards regression results showed that after adjusting for confounding factors, the risk of stroke in T2DM patients with 10 μmol·L⁻¹-¹ and Hcy>15 μmol·L⁻¹ was 1.532 times (95%CI: 1.017‒2.309 times, P=0.041) and 1.738 times (95%CI: 1.119‒2.699 times, P=0.014) higher respectively, compared to T2DM patients with Hcy≤10 μmol·L⁻¹. T2DM patients with TyG>9.074 had 1.396 times higher risk of stroke (95%CI: 1.091‒1.787, P=0.008) compared to those with TyG≤9.074. The study found that urea and α1-antitrypsin (α1-AT) were independent risk factors for the incidence of stroke in T2DM patients. For every unit increase in urea andα1-AT, the risk of stroke in T2DM patients increased by 233.6% (HR=3.336, 95%CI: 1.588‒7.009, P=0.001) and 11.3% (HR=1.113, 95%CI: 1.028‒1.205, P=0.008), respectively. Cumulative risk curves showed that Hcy>10 μmol·L⁻¹ and TyG>9.074 accelerated the time to stroke occurrence in T2DM patients. ConclusionElevated levels of Hcy>10 μmol·L⁻¹ and a higher TyG index are risk factors for stroke in T2DM patients. Effective interventions for Hcy and TyG should be conducted for diabetic patients to reduce the incidence of stroke.

OBJECTIVE To comprehensively evaluate the efficacy， safety and cost-effectiveness of insulin icodec in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM）， providing evidence-based guidance for new drug selection in hospital and clinical medication decision-making. METHODS PubMed， Cochrane Library， Embase， CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and foreign health technology assessment （HTA） websites were searched by using rapid health technology assessment from inception to 15 July 2025 for systematic reviews/meta-analyses， pharmacoeconomic studies， and HTA reports on insulin icodec in the treatment of T2DM. After data extraction and quality assessment， the findings of the included studies were analyzed descriptively. RESULTS Ten systematic reviews/meta-analyses and three pharmacoeconomic studies were included. Among them， 4 systematic reviews/meta-analyses were of high quality； the overall quality of the 3 pharmacoeconomic studies was relatively good. Regarding efficacy， insulin icodec was superior to once-daily basal insulin in reducing glycated hemoglobin （HbA1c） and in achieving the target of HbA1c＜7% （P＜0.05）. No significant differences were observed between icodec insulin and comparators in lowering fasting plasma glucose （P＞0.05）. For safety， insulin icodec did not increase the incidence of any adverse events （AEs）， serious AEs， clinically significant hypoglycemia （random glucose＜3 mmol/L）， injection-site reactions， or allergic reactions， compared with once-daily basal insulin overall （P＞ 0.05）； however， insulin icodec was associated with a significant increase in body weight （P＜0.05）. Domestic economic evaluations indicated that insulin icodec was more cost-effective than insulin glargine and insulin degludec when its annual costs were in the range of 784.90-1 145.96 and 597.66-736.34 US dollars， respectively. CONCLUSIONS Insulin icodec demonstrates favorable efficacy and safety profiles in the treatment of T2DM； however， attention should be paid to the risk of weight gain. Under China’s healthcare system， insulin icodec demonstrates greater economic value only when the patient’s weekly required basal insulin dose falls within a specific range，and clinical practice requires individualization.

Dendrobium moniliforme (D. moniliforme) is a traditional medicinal herb widely cultivated in Asia. Flavonoids, one of the largest groups of secondary metabolites in plants, are significant medicinal components in Dendrobium species. Several subgroups of R2R3-MYB proteins have been validated to directly regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Using PacBio sequencing technology, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level D. moniliforme genome with a total length of 1.20 Gb and a contig N50 of 3.97 Mb. The BUSCO assessment of genome annotation was 91.4%. By integrating the genome and transcriptome, we identified biosynthesis pathway enzyme genes related to flavonoids, polysaccharides, carotenoids, and alkaloids. A total of 90 R2R3-MYBs were identified in D. moniliforme and classified into 21 subgroups. Studies on the functions of R2R3-MYB transcription factors revealed that R2R3-MYB in SG6 can up-regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Various validation experiments, including subcellular localization, transient overexpression, UPLC-MS/MS, HPLC, yeast one-hybrid, and dual-luciferase assays, demonstrated that DMYB69 directly up-regulates the expression of enzyme genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, increasing the content of flavonoids such as anthocyanin, flavone, and flavonol. Additionally, DMYB44 was shown to directly up-regulate the expression of carotenoid biosynthesis enzyme genes, thereby increasing carotenoid content. This study provides an essential genome resource and theoretical basis for molecular breeding research in D. moniliforme.

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the role of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in spinal cord injury (SCI) and its underlying mechanism, focusing on the interplay between m6A methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), miR-30c, and autophagy-related proteins. Methods: An SCI model was established in rats, and changes in autophagy-related proteins, m6A methylation levels, and miR-30c levels were analyzed. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-stimulated spinal cord neuron cells (SCNCs) were used to assess the impact of METTL3 overexpression. The effects of STM2457, an antagonist of METTL3, were evaluated on cell viability, apoptosis, and autophagy markers in H2O2-stimulated SCNCs. Results: In the SCI model, decreased levels of autophagy markers and increased m6A methylation, miR-30c levels, and METTL3 were observed. Overexpression of METTL3 in SCNCs led to reduced cell viability, increased apoptosis, and suppressed autophagy. Conversely, co-overexpression of autophagy-related protein 5 (ATG5) or miR-30c inhibition reversed these effects. Knocking out METTL3 yielded opposite results. STM2457 treatment improved cell viability, reduced apoptosis, and upregulated autophagy markers in SCNCs, which also enhanced functional recovery in rats as measured by the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan score and inclined plate test. Conclusion STM2457 alleviated SCI by suppressing METTL3-mediated m6A modification of miR-30c, which in turn induces ATG5-mediated autophagy. This study provides insights into the role of m6A modification in SCI and suggests a potential therapeutic approach through targeting METTL3.

Objective:To explore the value of conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) sequence and pathological examination in predicting the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in advanced breast cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 65 cases of advanced breast cancer with NAC confirmed by pathology in the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University from March 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 cases in the pathological complete remission (pCR) group and 45 cases in the non pCR group; All patients underwent routine MRI, DWI, DKI examinations and pathological analysis. The clinical pathological data, routine MRI features, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values, mean kurtosis coefficient (MK), and mean diffusion coefficient (MD) between the two groups were analyzed; We compared the differences in various parameters between two groups and plotted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to compare their diagnostic efficacy of NAC in breast cancer.Results:There were significant differences in molecular typing, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) and Ki-67 between pCR group and non pCR group (all P<0.05). In pCR group, Her-2 overexpression type and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) type breast cancer were more common. ER and PR were mostly negative, Her-2 was mostly positive, and Ki 67 was mainly positive. The difference in tumor T2WI signal between the pCR group and the non pCR group was statistically significant ( P<0.05), with the pCR group showing mostly moderate/low T2WI signal. The ADC and MD values of the pCR group were lower than those of the non pCR group, while the MK value of the pCR group was higher than that of the non pCR group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting the efficacy of NAC using a clinical pathological model was 0.829, which was higher than the AUC of molecular subtypes, ER, PR, Her-2, and Ki-67 ( Z=3.008, 2.697, 2.815, 2.131, 2.376, all P<0.05); The AUC of the DKI+ DWI predicting the efficacy of NAC was 0.934, which was higher than that of the DWI single sequence model, and the difference in type was statistically significant ( Z=2.396, P=0.017). The diagnostic efficacy of the DKI+ DWI model was higher than that of the single parameter ADC, MD, and MK, and the differences were statistically significant ( Z=2.396, 2.219, 2.161, all P<0.05); The AUC of the combined imaging and pathology model was 0.983, and its diagnostic efficacy was higher than that of the conventional MRI feature model, pathology model, DWI model, and DKI model, with statistically significant differences ( Z=5.877, 2.961, 3.240, 2.264, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The results of pathology, conventional MRI, DWI and DKI parameters of pCR and non pCR breast cancer patients are significantly different, and the combined model is better than the single model in predicting the efficacy of NAC.

Given that low-dose computed tomography significantly amplifies image noise due to the mitigation of radiation exposure,which degrades image quality and lowers the precision of clinical diagnoses,a novel model incorporating convolutional neural network and Transformer is established,in which an intra-patch feature extraction module is used to effectively preserve tiny details in the image.A double attention Transformer is constructed by incorporating a multiple-input channel attention module into the self-attention for tackling the problem of incorrect restoration of texture details during denoising using Swin Transformer.AAPM dataset is used for testing,and the results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm not only surpasses the existing algorithms in denoising performance,but also excels in preserving tiny details in the image.

Objective To observe the value of CT radiomics nomogram for predicting Ki-67 expression of thymus epithelial tumors.Methods Totally 163 patients with thymus epithelial tumor,including 114 patients in training set and 49 patients in validation set were retrospectively enrolled.The patients were further divided into low expression(＜50％)and high expression(≥50％)subgroups according to Ki-67 index.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to screen independent predicting factors of Ki-67 expression in thymus epithelial tumors,and clinical-CT model was constructed.The optimal radiomics features were extracted and screened based on chest plain and venous phase enhanced CT images,respectively.Then radiomics modelplain and radiomics modelenhanced were constructed,and Radscoreplain and Radscoreenhanced were calculated,respectively.The nomogram model was constructed based on clinical-CT model,Radscoreplain and Radscoreenhanced.Receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn,and the area under the curves(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the efficacy of each model for predicting Ki-67 expression of thymus epithelial tumors.Results Patient's gender and enhanced CT value of lesion were both independent predicting factors of Ki-67 expression in thymus epithelial tumors(both P＜0.05).The AUC of clinical-CT model,radiomics modelplain,radiomics modelenhanced and nomogram model for predicting Ki-67 expression was 0.736,0.814,0.836 and 0.857 in training set,which was 0.746,0.746,0.750 and 0.799 in validation set,respectively.Conclusion CT radiomics nomogram could be used to predict Ki-6 7 expression of thymus epithelial tumors.
