Objective:To investigate the effect of dulagopeptide on physical examination indexes,plasma glucose metabolism and islet function in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients with poorly controlled plasma glucose.Methods:135 T2DM patients with poorly controlled plasma glucose who were admitted in our hospital from January 2023 to July 2024 were selected.A prospective randomized controlled design was adopted,they were divided into control group 1(received treatment with sitagliptin,n=45),control group 2(received treatment with insulin glargine,n=45),and observation group(received treatment with dulaglutide,n=45)according to the random number table method.Physical examination indexes,plasma glucose indicators,islet function,and incidence of adverse reactions were compared among the three groups.Results:12 weeks after treatment,body mass index(BMI),waist circumference,fasting plasma glucose(FPG),glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),and postprandial 2-hour plasma glucose(2hPG)in the observation group were lower than those in control group 1 and control group 2(P＜0.05).12 weeks after treatment,the observation group had the highest HbA1c compliance rate,reaching 71.1％(P＜0.05).12 weeks after treatment,the fasting C-peptide(FC-P)and HOMA-islet(CP-DM)levels in the observation group were higher than those in control group 1 and control group 2(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Dulagopeptide can effectively improve physical examination indexes,plasma glucose indicators,and islet function in T2DM patients with poorly controlled plasma glucose.

Objective To analyze the serum metabolomic changes of preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)at postmenstrual age(PMA)36 weeks,screen potential biomarkers and associated metabolic pathways,and assess their relationship with short-term respiratory outcomes.Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted.Infants with gestational age 28-32 weeks admitted to the Children's Hospital Affiliated to Zhengzhou University from January to December 2024 were included.Twenty infants with BPD and 20 gestational age-,birth weight-,and sex-matched non-BPD preterm infants were included.Serum collected at PMA 36 weeks was subjected to untargeted metabolomics analysis,and associations with short-term respiratory outcomes were analyzed.Results Thirteen potential biomarkers distinguishing BPD were identified(area under the curve>0.75,P<0.05).Eight biomarkers—including terephthalic acid,phosphatidylinositol,fumarate,and lysophosphatidic acid—were significantly upregulated(FC≥1.5),while five biomarkers,such as 7α-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholestenoate ester and phosphatidylcholine,were significantly downregulated(FC≤1/1.5).Pathway analysis indicated five pathways associated with BPD,including glycerophospholipid metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism.Dysregulation of glycerophospholipid and bile acid metabolism may affect adverse short-term respiratory outcomes in infants with BPD.Conclusions The 13 significantly different metabolites may serve as biomarkers for the diagnosis of BPD.Glycerophospholipid metabolism is associated with the occurrence of BPD and with adverse short-term respiratory outcomes.

The pregnant woman was 30 years old,G2P0.This singleton pregnancy at 22 weeks of gestation was screened for second-trimester ultrasound malformations,suggesting fetal aortic valve atresia,aortic stenosis with reverse blood flow,mitral valve atresia,and markedly enlarged left ventricle,which was considered for the diagnosis of hypoplastic left heart syndrome(HLHS).The pregnancy was terminated at our hospital and subsequently underwent genetic testing with results of heterozygous variants in the NOTCH1 gene,which can cause aortic valve disease type 1.The findings of the fetal autopsy were aortic valve atresia,mitral valve widening and thickening,and left ventricular enlargement with myocardial infarction.This report focuses on the ultrasound characteristics of HLHS with left ventricular enlargement and its hemodynamic changes in order to improve clinicians'understanding of the progressive changes in the disease phenotype of HLHS.
