Pancreatogenic diabetes is a type of diabetes mellitus secondary to exocrine pancreatic disease,and it was officially proposed by the American Diabetes Association in 2014,with chronic pancreatitis as the most common etiology,followed by pancreatic cancer.At present,the misdiagnosis rate of this disease is extremely high,and patients with pancreatogenic diabetes have a higher risk of death and readmission than patients with type 2 diabetes.Therefore,it is of great significance to fully understand,correctly identify,and diagnose pancreatogenic diabetes in the early state,so as to reduce the disability rate and mortality rate of this disease.This article reviews the advances in the possible pathogenesis,diagnosis,treatment,and management of pancreatic diabetes secondary to pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Stomach exuberance and spleen deficiency are common pathogenesis of many metabolic diseases. Through analyzing the pathogenesis of stomach exuberance and spleen deficiency， it is believed that its essence is stomach heat and spleen deficiency. Stomach heat includes gastrointestinal heat， spleen and stomach damp-heat， and spleen deficiency is divided into deficiency of spleen yin， deficiency of spleen qi ， and deficiency of spleen yang. It is suggested that the metabolic diseases of stomach-exuberance and spleen-deficiency syndrome can be divided into three categories，i.e. stomach-heat and spleen yin-deficiency， stomach-heat and spleen qi-deficiency， and stomach-heat and spleen yang-deficiency， and the main treatment methods are clearing and draining heat， nourishing yin and moistening intestine， clearing dampness and heat， strengthening spleen and qi， clearing dampness and heat， strengthening spleen and warming yang， respectively， with prescriptions as Maziren Pills （麻子仁丸）， Qinlian Pingwei Powder （芩连平胃散）， and Jiawei Lianli Decoction （加味连理汤） accordingly.

Objective To compare the difference in the efficacies of arthroscopic microfracture operation for talar osteochondral injuries with hyperuricemia and non-hyperuricemia,and to explore the correlation be-tween blood urate level and efficacy.Methods Fifty-three patients with talar osteochondral lesions meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria from February 2015 to August 2021 were selected as the research subjects and divided into the hyperuricemia group (22 cases) and non-hyperuricemia group (31 cases) according to whether or not the preoperative blood uric acid level exceeding 420 μmol/L.The joint range of motion (ROM),visual analog scale (VAS) score,American Foot and Ankle Surgery Society (AOFAS) score,mag-netic resonance score of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score and postoperative satisfaction before and af-ter surgery were compared between the two groups.Results The preoperative blood uric acid level in the hy-peruricemia group was higher than that in non-hyperuricemia group,and the difference was statistically signif-icant[(504.35±86.40)μmol/L vs.(332.56±45.80)μmol/L,P<0.05].The ROM score,VAS score and AOFAS score in postoperative 1 year follow up and last follow up in the two groups were significantly im-proved compared with before operation (P<0.001).The AOFAS scores before operation,in postoperative 1 year and postoperative last follow up in the hyperuricemia group were lower than those in the non-hyperurice-mia group (P<0.05).The VAS scores before operation and postoperative last follow up in the hyperuricemia group were higher than those in the non-hyperuricemia group (P<0.05).The uric acid level was negatively correlated with the postoperative AOFAS score (r2=0.076,P=0.041).The MOCART score in postopera-tive last follow up in the hyperuricemia group was lower than that in the non-hyperuricemia group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The cartilage defect repair and filling degree and the fusion of repaired tissue with adjacent cartilage had statistical differences between the hyperuricemia group and non-hyperuricemia group (P<0.05).Conclusion Arthroscopic microfracture operation in treating talar osteo-chondral injuries has good clinical effect,the postoperative clinical effect in the patients with complicating hy-peruricemia is lower than that in the patients with non-hyperuricemia and the blood uric acid level is negative-ly correlated with the AOFAS score after microfracture surgery.

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are the most widely used method to identify genetic risk loci associated with orofacial clefts (OFC). However, despite the increasing size of cohort, GWASs are still insufficient to detect all the heritability, suggesting there are more associations under the current stringent statistical threshold. In this study, we obtained an integrated epigenomic dataset based on the chromatin conformation of a human oral epithelial cell line (HIOEC) using RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, H3K27ac ChIP-seq, and DLO Hi-C. Presumably, this epigenomic dataset could reveal the missing functional variants located in the oral epithelial cell active enhancers/promoters along with their risk target genes, despite relatively less-stringent statistical association with OFC. Taken a non-syndromic cleft palate only (NSCPO) GWAS data of the Chinese Han population as an example, 3664 SNPs that cannot reach the strict significance threshold were subjected to this functional identification pipeline. In total, 254 potential risk SNPs residing in active cis-regulatory elements interacting with 1 718 promoters of oral epithelium-expressed genes were screened. Gapped k-mer machine learning based on enhancers interacting with epithelium-expressed genes along with in vivo and in vitro reporter assays were employed as functional validation. Among all the potential SNPs, we chose and confirmed that the risk alleles of rs560789 and rs174570 reduced the epithelial-specific enhancer activity by preventing the binding of transcription factors related to epithelial development. In summary, we established chromatin conformation datasets of human oral epithelial cells and provided a framework for testing and understanding how regulatory variants impart risk for clefts.

Objective:To investigate the blood pressure change in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and hypertension treated with cinepazide maleate injection.Methods:This was a subgroup analysis of post-marketing clinical confirmation study of cinepazide maleate injection for acute ischemic stroke: a randomized, double-blinded, multicenter, placebo-parallel controlled trial, which conducted in China from August 2016 to February 2019. Eligible patients fulfilled the inclusive criteria of acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of 7-25. The primary endpoints were mean blood pressure of AIS patients treated with cinepazide maleate or control, which were assessed during the treatment period (14 days), and the proportion of the patients with normal blood pressure was analyzed after the treatment period. Furthermore, a subgroup analysis was performed to investigate a possible effect of the history of hypertension on outcomes.Results:This analysis included 809 patients with hypertension. There was no significant difference in patients blood pressure and the proportion of patients with normal blood pressure (60.5% vs. 59.0%, P>0.05) between cinepazide maleate group and control group. Conclusion:Administration of cinepazide maleate injection does not affect the management of clinical blood pressure in patients with AIS.
