Article Abstract
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a form of kidney damage resulting from diabetes and represents a common, severe complication of the disease. Globally, DKD is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). DKD occurs in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients, with early clinical manifestations including microalbuminuria and hypertension. As the condition progresses, symptoms such as massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and severe edema may appear. The key to treating DKD lies in controlling blood glucose and blood pressure, reducing proteinuria, and slowing the deterioration of kidney function. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine treatment, has shown some therapeutic effects on DKD through mechanisms such as regulating blood glucose, improving renal blood flow and microcirculation, antioxidation and anti-inflammation, and modulating gut microbiota.

Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), the circulating carrier of retinol, complexes with transthyretin (TTR) and is a potential biomarker of cardiometabolic disease. However, RBP4 quantitation relies on immunoassays and Western blots without retinol and TTR measurement. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous absolute quantitation of circulating RBP4 and TTR is critical to establishing their biomarker potential.

Background: Depression and anxiety are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and worsen clinical outcomes. Psycho-behavioural interventions offer a promising, non-pharmacological approach. However, most evidence comes from people with kidney failure with distinct treatment needs, limiting relevance to earlier stages of CKD, where timely support may enhance self-management and slow progression.

Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a newly defined systemic disorder, is characterized by the pathological interplay among diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent studies have identified chronic inflammation not only as a central mediator in the pathological progression of CKM syndrome but also as a pivotal molecular hub that drives coordinated damage across multiple organ systems. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that aberrant activation of signaling pathways such as NF-κB, Wnt, PI3K-AKT, JAK-STAT, and PPAR constitutes a complex inflammatory regulatory network.

Purpose: Infective endocarditis (IE) has been associated with severe outcomes when complicated by diabetes mellitus (DM). We aimed to report characteristics, microbial etiology, and mortality for patients with IE stratified by DM from a nationwide cohort.
Methods: We used Danish registries, and patients with first-time IE (2010-2020) were stratified by DM.
