Objective:To analyze the effects of shared decision-making in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus.Methods:Databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Datebase, COVIP and SinoMed, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the application of shared decision-making in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus from inception to July 22, 2023, used R Studio software for meta-analysis.Results:A total of 14 RCTs and 2 606 patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the shared decision-making can alleviate the decision-making conflict of type 2 diabetic mellitus patients ( MD=-3.18, 95% CI -5.36 to -0.99, P<0.05), improve the decision-making self-efficacy ( MD=5.82, 95% CI 2.34 to 9.30, P<0.05), medication compliance ( RR=1.08, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.16, P<0.05), and diabetes-related knowledge ( SMD=0.46, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.75, P<0.05), reduce BMI ( MD=-0.75, 95% CI-1.33 to -0.17, P<0.05) and the HbA1c level ( MD=-0.45, 95% CI -0.65 to -0.24, P<0.05) in the 3-month follow-up. Conclusions:The shared decision-making improves the self-management in patients with type 2 diabetic mellitus. However, the long-term effect and potential risks of this model still need to be further studied. It is suggested that the application of shared decision-making in type 2 diabetic mellitus patients should be optimized in the future, and research on the long-term effects and potential risks of this model should be increased.

With the intensification of population aging, type 2 diabetes has emerged as a significant global public health concern, particularly in developing countries.Epidemiological data indicate that the elderly population faces a higher risk of diabetes, accompanied by an increasing incidence rate.Due to the unique pathological characteristics and comorbid chronic diseases prevalent among elderly diabetes patients, polypharmacy is both common and often unavoidable.Inappropriate polypharmacy poses heightened health risks for patients and complicates clinical management, underscoring the urgent need to optimize intervention strategies.Effective approaches include regular medication reviews, adjustments to blood glucose control targets, and the development of personalized deprescribing plans informed by comprehensive geriatric assessments.While some interventions have demonstrated positive effects in reducing potentially inappropriate medications, addressing prescription omissions, and enhancing medication adherence, their capacity to yield significant clinical improvements requires further validation.Future research should prioritize the identification of the most effective interventions for high-risk populations.

Purpose:
The junctional epithelium (JE) covers the cervical areas of developing or existing teeth. It can re-establish itself even after being removed during periodontal therapies, followed by wound healing. However, the mechanisms that can maintain this universally conserved structure are still unclear.
Methods:
The molecular mechanisms of JE homeostasis were investigated by altering levels of JE-specific genes in a telomerase immortalized human gingival epithelial cell line (TIGKs) by exposing TIGKs to conditioned medium (C-CM) from cultivated human cementoblasts.The mRNA and protein levels of JE-associated genes in TIGKs were examined using realtime polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunocytochemistry (ICC) after treatment with C-CM. The candidate pathways related to differential mRNA and protein expression were analyzed with a DNA microarray and identified using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes and WikiPathways. Real-time PCR and ICC were conducted to confirm the changes in the expressions of candidate genes.
Results:
mRNA levels and protein expressions of amelotin (Amtn) were upregulated after treatment with C-CM for 48 hours. DNA microarray analyses identified 595 genes that were upregulated >2-fold, and 820 genes that were downregulated >2-fold. C-CM promoted the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 and reduced the expression of an inactivator of Janus kinase 2. Both signaling molecules were found, using siRNA technology, to mediate the increase of Amtn mRNA and protein expression levels.
Conclusions
The upregulation of Amtn in gingival epithelial cells by C-CM suggests that this regulatory pathway is associated with the homeostasis of JE structures by the cementum.

Journal of Periodontal & Implant Science 2025;55(5):349-364
Purpose:
Odontogenic ameloblast-associated protein (ODAM) is a small secretory protein produced by the junctional epithelium (JE) and mature ameloblasts. It plays a role in odontogenesis and mediates the adhesion of JE to enamel. We used human gingival epithelial cells to evaluate the mechanism of ODAM gene expression regulation in the JE by interleukin (IL)-6.
Methods:
Ca9-22, Sa3, and HSY cells were stimulated with IL-6 (10 ng/mL), after which total RNA and proteins were extracted. Real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were performed to assess the expression levels of ODAM mRNA and protein.Luciferase (LUC) assays were employed using LUC constructs with varying lengths of the ODAM gene promoter sequence. Gel mobility shift and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analyses were conducted to investigate the binding of transcription factors to response elements within the gene promoter.
Results:
Treatment with IL-6 increased the expressions of ODAM mRNA and protein.Additionally, it induced promoter activity of the ODAM gene, while LUC activity was suppressed by inhibitors of protein kinase A, tyrosine kinase, MEK1/2, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, nuclear factor-κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3, and glycoprotein 130. Gel mobility shift and ChIP analyses revealed that IL-6 induced the binding of yin yang 1 (YY1), CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) β, GATA binding protein (GATA), and phospho-STAT3 to the YY1, C/EBP, GATA, and interferon-γ activated transcriptional element (GATE) 1-3 elements.
Conclusions
These findings indicate that IL-6 upregulates ODAM gene expression by targeting the YY1, C/EBP, GATA, and GATE1-3 elements in the promoter region of the human ODAM gene.
