Examination of the Dose-Effect Relationship of Radiation-Induced Hypopituitarism: Results of a Case-Control Study

Siavosh Vakilian et al.

Summary: The study aimed to characterize the dose-effect relationship for radiation-induced hypopituitarism at the base of the skull and explore a dose threshold for this endocrinopathy. Results showed a significant negative correlation between the mean dose to the pituitary gland and serum free thyroxine, with no cases of endocrine toxicity observed below 30 Gy.

Use of Network Pharmacology to Explore the Mechanism of Gegen (Puerariae lobatae Radix) in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Associated with Hyperlipidemia

Guozhen Yuan et al.

Summary: Research has shown that isoflavones and beta-sitosterol found in Puerariae lobatae Radix are key active ingredients responsible for its antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemia effects, targeting multiple proteins and pathways. These active ingredients also impact various biological processes, including regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, maintaining metabolic homeostasis, and anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways.

Effect of Huang-Lian Jie-Du Decoction on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Zhipeng Hu et al.

Summary: This study summarized the clinical evidence of HLJDD for T2DM, showing that combination treatment of HLJDD and metformin may improve some indicators, but evidence comparing HLJDD and metformin or no intervention or placebo was insufficient and of low quality. More high-quality studies are needed to firmly establish the clinical efficacy and safety of HLJJD.

The Effects of Dietary Education Interventions on Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Juri Kim et al.

Summary: Dietary education interventions for at least 3 months are highly effective in controlling HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, with individualized education being more effective and contact or non-contact education being applicable. Combining diet, exercise, and psychosocial intervention is more effective than diet education alone.

The Effects of Erchen Decoction on Gut Microbiota and Lipid Metabolism Disorders in Zucker Diabetic Fatty Rats

Tian Zhao et al.

Summary: The study found that Erchen Decoction (ECD) can reduce body weight, improve insulin resistance (IR) and lipid metabolism by interfering with specific signaling pathways in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. Additionally, ECD was shown to adjust the structure of gut microbiota and change its function in ZDF rats, demonstrating a potentially close relationship between specific biomarkers, metabolites, and host phenotypes. The results suggest that ECD's beneficial effects on obesity, particularly lipid metabolism disorders, are linked to regulation of gut microbiota in ZDF rats, providing a foundation for further research on its mechanisms and clinical applications.

The Relationship Between Late Morbidity and Dose-Volume Parameter of Rectum in Combined Intracavitary/Interstitial Cervix Cancer Brachytherapy: A Mono-Institutional Experience

Ning Zhang et al.

Summary: The study established a dose volume-effect relationship to predict late rectal complications in locally advanced cervical cancer patients undergoing external beam radiotherapy followed by brachytherapy. The analysis found significant correlations between certain dose values and the probability of rectal events, suggesting potential predictive parameters for monitoring and managing complications. Patients with specific dose values should be closely monitored for higher grade rectal complications.
