Background The global number of type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases has been steadily increasing over the past few decades, becoming a major public health issue. Available toxicological research has indicated that ozone (O3) can lead to oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, thereby causing metabolic changes and the development of T2D. Existing cohort studies on the impact of long-term O3 exposure on the risk of developing T2D have reached contradictory conclusions, and the results have shown significant heterogeneity. Objective To summarize cohort studies on long-term O3 exposure and T2D risk, and investigate heterogeneity sources in the association between O3 and T2D. Methods Cohort studies on O3 and T2D were searched through PubMed, Embase, and the Web of Science, with the search deadline set for 25 April, 2025. After two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the included studies, meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 18.0 software. We used a random effects model to calculate the overall relative risk (RR) of the standardized risk estimates and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Additionally, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, meta-regression, and publication bias testing were performed to explore the sources of heterogeneity in the association between O3 and T2D. Results In the 8 articles meeting predetermined inclusion criteria, a total of 11 cohort studies involving 54887070 participants were finally included. The results of the meta-analysis indicated that long-term exposure to O3 was associated with a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes [standardized RR=1.04 (95%CI: 1.01, 1.07), P<0.001, I2=97.3%], and significant heterogeneity existed. The subgroup analysis showed that females (standardized RR=1.08, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.13) and the Asian population (standardized RR=1.09, 95%CI: 1.06, 1.11) were are more susceptible to O3. The meta-regression model that included study region and average O3 concentration variables explained 60.33% of the heterogeneity between studies. No significant evidence of publication bias was observed after the funnel plot test, Egger's test (P=0.437), Begg's test (P=0.640), and the trim-and-fill method. Conclusion Long-term exposure to O3 could increase the risk of developing T2D, with females and Asian populations being particularly sensitive. The heterogeneity in the association between O3 and T2D can be partly explained by factors such as average O3 concentration and geographic location.

【Objective】 To investigate the practice and benefit of national standardized management of type 2 diabetes in Yulin City. 【Methods】 We recruited the adult type 2 diabetes patients who sought medical help at our hospital from May 2020 to October 2022 as subjects. We collected their basic information (sex and age); measured height, weight, waist and hip circumference, and blood pressure; calculated body mass index (BMI); and detected blood glucose, c-peptide, HbA1c, biomarkers, urinary microalbumin, sensory nerve conduction velocity of lower limbs, ABI, and subcutaneous and visceral fat at the time of MMC recruited and the end of six months. T test and Mann-Whitney U rank sum test were used for measurement data and χ2 test or Fisher’s exact probability method for counting data to analyze the data. 【Results】 After 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, and visceral and subcutaneous fat in all the patients decreased, but the level of fasting c-peptide increased compared with the baseline (all P<0.05). Secondly, compared with the baseline, the control rate of HbA1c (35.21% vs. 13.71% ) and the comprehensive control rate (13.97% vs. 7.26% ) were both significantly increased at six months (P<0.05). Thirdly, after 6 months, the levels of fasting blood glucose, postprandial blood glucose, HbA1c, TG, TC, and UA were decreased more, while the fasting c-peptide and postprandial c-peptide were increased more in the patients of the HbA1c standard group (HbA1c<7% ) than those of the non-standard group. 【Conclusion】 The multiple benefits of blood glucose, blood lipid, uric acid and islet function can be achieved by taking type 2 diabetes patients into MMC. Meanwhile, the rates of HbA1c control and comprehensively reaching the standard are significantly increased. Therefore, MMC can explore a new way for the management of type 2 diabetic patients in this area.

Objective To explore the endoscopic features and careinoembryonic antigen (CEA) ex-pressions of colorectal serrated adenomas (SA). Methods From June 2005 to July 2008, 27 patients with colorectal polyps and 26 cases of advanced colorectal cancer (ACC) were enrolled in the study. The pit pat-tern of the suspected lesions were observed with 0. 4% indigo carmine sodium stain and classified according to Kudo classification. The polyps were removed by biopsy, high-frequency electrical excision or endoscopic mucosa resection and the samples of ACC were collected with biopsy forceps. All specimens underwent rou-tine pathological examination and CEA expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results There were 47 SAs and 27 other types of polyps in polyp group. Most SAs located in left-side colon and were char-acterized by the bulge semipedunculation. The diameters of 45 serrated adenomas ranged from 3 to 8ram, and the maximal diameter of other 2 were more than 10ram. The most common type of pit pattern in SA was mixed type Ⅱ and ⅢL, with type Ⅱ predominant in a certain percentage. Expression of CEA in SA glands was significantly higher than that in proliferative polyps (P < 0. O1). Candnsion SA is an unique type of colorectal adenoma, which is capable of expressing CEA, and displays malignant potential and deserves great attention.
