Diabetes of the exocrine pancreas(DEP) refers to a complication of diseases of the exocrine pancreas, associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. Recent evidence has indicated that DEP, after type 2 diabetes, has become the second most common type of adults-onset diabetes, with a higher prevalence than type 1 diabetes. DEP is not a single condition but encompasses various exocrine pancreatic disorders that lead to hyperglycemia through different mechanisms, creating significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This review examines the latest research on the risk factors and pathogenesis of DEP, aiming to provide insights to improve its clinical management strategies.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the level of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor autoantibody (AT1-AA) in the uterine fluid and the thickness of endometrium in infertile women with chronic endometritis.Methods:A case-control study was conducted to select 122 patients who underwent hysteroscopy and endometrial tissue biopsy at Assisted Reproduction Center, Taiyuan Central Hospital due to infertility from March 2023 to January 2024 as the study subjects. According to the results of hysteroscopy and endometrial tissue biopsy, the patients were divided into 52 cases in the infertility group with normal endometrium (NE infertility group) and the chronic endometritis combined with infertility group (CE infertility group) with 70 cases. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of the two groups. General clinical data, AT1-AA absorbance value of uterine fluid and uterine related indexes of the two groups were analyzed, and the correlations between AT1-AA level and the variation of indexes were analyzed.Results:Gravidity (median: 1 vs 1; Z=7.029, P=0.030) and parity (median: 0 vs 0; Z=12.258, P=0.002) in CE infertility group were higher than those in NE infertility group. There was AT1-AA in the uterine fluid, and the level of AT1-AA in CE infertility group was significantly higher than that in NE infertility group (median: 2.07 vs 1.44; Z=3.099, P=0.029). The endometrial thickness of CE infertility group was lower than that of NE infertility group (median: 6.0 vs 7.0 mm; Z=-2.179, P=0.029), and there were no statistical differences in other indexes between the two groups (all P>0.05). Further correlation analysis showed that there were no correlation between the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid and parity, endometrial thickness, gravidity in NE infertility group (all P>0.05). However, the level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of CE infertility group was positively correlated with parity (Spearman′s r=0.339, P=0.004), and negatively correlated with endometrial thickness (Spearman′s r=-0.499, P<0.001), but not correlated with gravidity ( P>0.05). Conclusions:AT1-AA is present in the uterine fluid of infertile women. The elevated level of AT1-AA in uterine fluid of infertile women with CE is related to the thinning of the endometrium.

Objective To rvaluate the therapeutic efficacy of balloon-dilatation covered stents in the treatment of renal artery stenosis(RAS).Methods The clinical data of 30 patients with RAS,who received intravascular ultrasonography(IVUS)-guided LifeStream balloon-dilatation covered stent implantation at the Affiliated Central Hospital of Dalian University of Technology(Dalian Municipal Central Hospital)of China from August 2022 to December 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.The various parameters of the lumen and the stent were measured,and the performance of the stent was evaluated.Results The minimum original blood vessel diameter below the base of the stenotic segment plaque was 5.40(5.17,5.80)mm and the maximum blood vessel diameter was 6.20(5.80,6.93)mm,which became 6.00(5.80,6.00)mm and 7.90(6.00,8.00)mm respectively after stent release,the differences were statistically significant(both P＜0.05).Before stent release the luminal eccentricity index was(14.72±9.37)％,which was(1.54±9.16)％after stent release,the difference was statistically significant P＜0.05).The instant stent symmetry after stent release was(82.69±14.61)％,and the stent expansion factor was(99.81±10.70)％.Ideal narrow coverage rate was obtained.During operation,poor stent adhesion occurred in 2 patients and renal artery rupture with bleeding occurred in one patient,which were solved after immediate re-expansion treatment.Spearman's correlation analysis showed that stent symmetry,stent expansion factor,and stent eccentricity index did not linearly correlate with the lumen cross-sectional area stenosis rate and the plaque eccentricity index(all P＞0.05).Conclusion For the treatment of RAS,the LifeStream balloon-dilatation covered stent is clinically safe,feasible,and effective with satisfactory immediate clinical outcomes.
