Objective To investigate the effect of bone metabolic markers on sarcopenia in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 412 patients with T2DM in the department of endocrinology of Nanjing Central Hospital from May 2020 to June 2025 were selected as the research subjects. According to Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) in 2019, these patients were evaluated for skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), muscle strength, and muscle function, and were divided into a sarcopenia group (84 cases) and a non-sarcopenia group (328 cases). The glucolipid metabolic indexes were detected in both groups of patients, and the bone metabolic markers were evaluated, including procollagen type 1 N-terminal peptide (P1NP), beta-C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (β-CTX), and 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25-(OH)D]. The factors influencing the occurrence of sarcopenia in T2DM patients were analyzed by logistic regression analysis, and the diagnostic values of bone metabolic markers on sarcopenia in patients with T2DM were assessed by ROC curve. Results The levels of P1NP and 25-(OH)D were lower, while β-CTX level was higher in the sarcopenia group compared to the non-sarcopenia group, with statistical differences (P<0.05). After logistic correlation analysis, it was found that P1NP, β-CTX and 25-(OH)D were all influencing factors for the occurrence of sarcopenia in T2DM patients. ROC curve analysis suggested that combined detection of PINP, β-CTX, and 25-(OH)D had higher diagnostic value, with an area under the curve up to 0.805. Conclusion The abnormal expression of bone metabolic markers is associated with the increased risk of sarcopenia in patients with T2DM. The detection of serum bone metabolic markers expression level is of certain significance for the assessment of diabetes-related sarcopenia.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

[Summary] The effects of lipid components on insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM) and control subjects were explored. The results demonstrated that in control group, disposal index( DI)0 was positively correlated with high density cholesterol(HDL-C), while DI30 was negatively correlated with total cholesterol(TC), triglycerides( TG) and low density cholesterol ( LDL-C), and DI120 was also negatively correlated with TC and LDL-C. In T2DM group, DI0 was negatively correlated with TC and LDL-C, DI30 was negatively correlated with TC, TG, LDL-C and TG/ HDL-C, DI120 was negatively correlated with TC, TG, LDL-C and TG/ HDL-C.

Objective The variation of serum thyroid hormones within the euthyroid range may be associated with insulin sensitivity.The study was to investigate whether the variation of thyroid hormones within the euthyroid range could influence insulin sensitivity in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods 200 elderly inpatients and outpatients with type 2 diabetes were collected from September 2013 to May 2014 in our hospital for T2DM group.150 normal controls with normal glucose metabolism were taken as the control group.Blood samples were collected after 75g oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) on all the re-search objects.Questionaire survey, physical examination and related metabolic index test were also done on them .Chemilumines-cence method were applied to detect their insulin, thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH), FT3 and FT4. Results FT3 levels were significantly lower in T2DM group than in control group[(4.05 ±0.27 )pmol/L vs (4.61 ±0.5)pmol/L), P<0.05].TSH levels were significantly higher in T2DM group than in control group[(2.75 ±1.07) IU/mL vs (2.28 ±0.89) IU/mL, P<0.05], while there was no significant difference as to FT4 levels between these two groups.All subjects were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of FT3 level, Matsuda index of high FT3 level group were significantly higher in comparison to middle and low FT3 level groups, while there was no significant difference as to HOMA-IR in the three groups.FT3 levels were negatively correlated with HO-MA-IR and positively correlated with Matsuda index .After stepwise regression analysis, there was significant positive association be-tween FT3 and Matsuda index. Conclusion Thyroid hormone especially FT3 is significantly associated with insulin resistance .FT3 may participate in the development of type 2 diabetes, which pro-vides a new treatment for T2DM.
