Article Abstract
Aims: Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are both complex diseases that are caused by interactions among multiple genetic and physiological factors. To investigate the association of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of SUCNR1, GRK4 and CAMK1D genes with the susceptibility of the two diseases in a northern Chinese Han population.
Methods: 36 SNPs were genotyped in 2304 clinical patients (1152 type 2 diabetes mellitus, 1152 essential hypertension) and 1152 health controls by Sequenom Mass-ARRAY RS1000.
Results: In this study, we found that BMI, blood press, pulse pressure, FBG, total cholesterol and triglycerides were associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and essential hypertension (EH). Three SNPs (SUCNR1: rs73168929; GRK4: rs1557213; CAMK1D: rs17151584) significantly associated with the susceptibility of T2DM and EH at the same time. Also, the susceptibility genotypes of 3 SNPs were significantly correlated with liver and renal function parameters.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, the present study is the first to report that three SNPs (SUCNR1: rs73168929; GRK4: rs1557213; CAMK1D: rs17151584) contributed to the risk of T2DM and EH in a northern Chinese Han population. These results provide a favourable evidence for better understand of the underlying common mechanism of these two diseases.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) management was largely centered around renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) optimization, until recent emergence of novel therapeutics. However, slow adoption of guideline-directed therapy leaves patients vulnerable to disease progression. In 2022, a data-driven informatics approach was introduced to track real-time adherence to best practices.

Background: The long-term clinical efficacy of intraportal islet transplantation is hampered by islet loss due to inflammation, oxidative stress, and insufficient vascularization. This study explores the venous sac as an alternative implantation site for islet transplantation in large animal models.
Methods: An immunosuppressed, diabetic cynomolgus monkey received allogeneic islet implants in its mesenteric venous sac, with metabolic assessments over 112 days.

Background: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) represents a challenging complication of diabetes mellitus, characterized by slow healing processes. Protein kinase C delta (PKCδ) has been identified as a significant factor in the pathogenesis of various diabetic complications, including DFU. However, the precise underlying mechanisms remain to be fully elucidated.

For individuals with diabetes, maintaining optimal glycaemic control is essential to reduce the risk of long-term complications. However, as patients approach the end of life, the emphasis on tight glycaemic targets becomes less relevant. Instead, the primary goal shifts to maintaining blood glucose levels within a range that minimises the risk of hypoglycaemia and prevents symptomatic hyperglycaemia, thereby ensuring comfort and quality of life.

Background: Postoperative complications significantly impact outcomes in head and neck free-flap reconstruction. The comprehensive complication index (CCI) offers a continuous measure of complication burden but is rarely applied in head and neck surgery compared to the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC).
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 354 patients who underwent head and neck free-flap reconstruction.
