Linperlisib causing high blood sugar and hyponatremia, leading to facial nerve paralysis and muscle nerve damage: A rare case report.

Rationale: Linperlisib is a highly selective small-molecule inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase delta for the treatment of relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma.

Patient Concerns: The patient was a 64-year-old male with peripheral T-cell lymphoma and diabetes mellitus who experienced hyperglycemia, hyponatremia, facial palsy, and myalgia during linperlisib treatment.

Diagnoses: Drug-induced high blood sugar and hyponatremia.

Triglyceride-glucose index as a prognostic indicator in advanced gastric cancer: Insights and future research.

Gastric cancer (GC), the fifth most common malignancy worldwide, poses a substantial challenge in clinical oncology, particularly in its advanced stages. Despite advancements in immunotherapy, patient prognosis remains poor, underscoring the need for reliable prognostic tools to refine treatment strategies. A study by Yao explores the role of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index as a prognostic marker for advanced GC patients receiving immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy.

Food sweeteners: Angels or clowns for human health?

With the global prevalence of obesity and diabetes continuing to rise, metabolic diseases caused by excessive sugar intake have become a significant public health issue. In this context, various sweeteners as sugar substitutes have been widely used in the food industry. Sweeteners are highly favored for their good safety profile, cost-effectiveness, low-calorie properties, and potential blood sugar regulation effects, and their applications have extended to fields such as pharmaceuticals and daily chemicals.

Association between infection and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis: From an analysis of a population-based study.

The growing global burden of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) demands a deeper understanding of its underlying mechanisms and risk factors. Recent studies, such as the large population-based case-control analysis by Abdel-Razeq , suggest a significant association between infection and an increased risk of developing MASH. This study provides compelling data supporting this association, even after adjusting for confounders such as obesity, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia.

Mechanism of calcitonin gene related peptide against acute pancreatitis in rats by modulating amino acid metabolism based on metabonomics.

To study the mechanism of calcitonin gene related peptide(CGRP) protecting acute pancreatitis based on metabolomics. 24 adult male rats were randomly divided into control group (Con), acute pancreatitis model group (AP), CGRP treatment group (CGRP + AP, abbreviated as CGRP) and CGRP antagonist(CGRP(8-37)) pretreatment group (preCGRP(8-37) + AP, abbreviated as CGRP37), with 6 rats in each group. After different interventions, pancreases of rats in each group were collected for pathological analysis, and serum was collected for metabolomics analysis.

Pancreatic cancer: A review of epidemiology, trend, and risk factors.

Despite rapid advances in modern medical technology and significant improvements in survival rates of many cancers, pancreatic cancer is still a highly lethal gastrointestinal cancer with a low 5-year survival rate and difficulty in early detection. At present, the incidence and mortality of pancreatic cancer are increasing year by year worldwide, no matter in the United States, Europe, Japan, or China. Globally, the incidence of pancreatic cancer is projected to increase to 18.

Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) Signaling Protects Against Acute Pancreatitis-Induced Damage by Modulating Inflammatory Responses.

BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a symptom of sudden pancreas inflammation, which causes patients severe suffering. In general, fibroblast growth factor (FGF) levels are increased and amylase and lipase activities are elevated during AP pathogenesis, but protein concentration are low. However, the mechanism through which FGF signaling regulates AP pathogenesis remains elusive.

Adropin deficiency worsens HFD-induced metabolic defects.

The limited efficacy of current treatment methods and increased type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) incidence constitute an incentive for investigating how metabolic homeostasis is maintained, to improve treatment efficacy and identify novel treatment methods. We analyzed a three-generation family of Chinese origin with the common feature of T2DM attacks and fatty pancreas (FP), alongside 19 unrelated patients with FP and 58 cases with T2DM for genetic variations in Enho, serum adropin, and relative T amounts. Functional studies with adropin knockout (AdrKO) in C57BL/6J mice were also performed.

CALCB splice region pathogenic variants leading to plasma cell neurotropic enrichment in type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis.

Recently, we have demonstrated that PRSS1 mutations cause ectopic trypsinogen activation and thereby result in type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). However, the molecules involved in inducing obliterative vasculitis and perineural inflammation in the pancreas are not well-described. The present study applied whole-exome sequencing (WES) to determine the underlying etiology and revealed novel missense splice region variants, CALCB c.
