A meta-analysis of cardiorenal outcomes of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) available in Europe or the United States in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) is presented. An electronic search up to 6 January 2021 was conducted to determine eligible trials. A total of eight cardiorenal outcomes trials of SGLT-2is (empagliflozin, canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, ertugliflozin and sotagliflozin) were identified, with 65,587 patients. Data were analysed using a random effects model. Overall, SGLT-2is were associated with a 12% reduced risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; HR = 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.93; Q statistic, p = .19), with no significant heterogeneity (p for interaction = .465) between subgroups of patients with or without cardiovascular disease (CVD). The risk of the composite renal outcome was significantly reduced by treatment with SGLT-2is (HR = 0.61, 95% CI, 0.54-0.70), with no significant heterogeneity of associations with outcome (I2 = 37%, p = .11), and no difference in the risk between patients with or without CVD (p for interaction = .665). SGLT-2is have moderate benefits on MACE and major benefits on the progression of diabetic kidney disease.Sensitive to proton rhizotoxicity 1 (STOP1) functions as a crucial regulator of root growth during aluminum (Al) stress. However, how this transcription factor is regulated by Al stress to affect downstream genes expression is not well understood. To explore the underlying mechanisms of the function and regulation of STOP1, we employed a yeast two hybrid screen to identify STOP1-interacting proteins. The SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1, was found to interact with STOP1 and mainly facilitate its SUMO modification at K40 and K212 residues. Simultaneous introduction of K40R and K212R substitutions in STOP1 enhances its transactivation activity to upregulate the expression of aluminum-activated malate transporter 1 (ALMT1) via increasing the association with mediator 16 (MED16) transcriptional co-activator. Loss of function of SIZ1 causes highly increased expression of ALMT1, thus enhancing Al-induced malate exudation and Al tolerance. Also, we found that the protein level of SIZ1 is reduced in response to Al stress. Genetic evidence demonstrates that STOP1/ALMT1 is epistatic to SIZ1 in regulating root growth response to Al stress. This study suggests a mechanism about how the SIZ1-STOP1-ALMT1 signaling module is involved in root growth response to Al stress.Can the active kernels in ultrasmall metal nanoparticles (nanoclusters, NCs) react with one another, or can the internanocluster reaction occur when they are in close enough proximity? To resolve this fundamental issue, we investigated the solid-state internanocluster reaction of the most studied gold NC Au25 (SR)18 (SR thiolate). A novel NC was produced by increasing the pressure to 5 GPa, whose composition was determined to be Au32 (SC2 H4 Ph)24 by mass spectrometry and thermogravimetric analysis. As revealed by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, the structure, a bicuboid Au14 kernel and three pairs of interlocked trimetric staples, has not been reported and endows the NC with obvious photoluminescence. Tasquinimod mouse DFT calculations indicate that the staples contribute substantially to the absorption properties. Further experiments reveal the pressure (internanocluster distance) can tune the internanocluster reaction, and the resulting product is not necessarily the thermodynamic product.

Prognosis of liver cirrhosis patients is poor when ascites is present and liver function is impaired, but such up-to-date information from a large-scale, real-world setting is limited in Japan. We aimed to investigate the hospital mortality of Japanese liver cirrhosis inpatients.

This retrospective cohort study included data on liver cirrhosis inpatients between January 2011 and September 2018 extracted from an administrative claims database. The outcome was in-hospital mortality. The 1- and 3-year cumulative survival rates were examined for liver cirrhosis etiology, Child-Pugh classification, or ascites presence/absence using Kaplan-Meier analysis. The survival up to 1year for tolvaptan prescription/nonprescription was examined.

We analyzed the data of 57769 inpatients. Survival rates did not substantially differ among etiologies, with a better prognosis for alcohol etiology and poorer prognosis for hepatitis C virus. According to the Child-Pugh classification, the 1- and 3-year survival rates were 90.2% and 75.3% for grade A, 73.5% and 53.9% for grade B, and 41.9% and 28.9% for grade C, respectively. Patients without ascites had a higher survival rate (83.2% and 67.0% at 1 and 3years, respectively) than those with ascites (51.9% and 36.3%, respectively). Based on examining matched patients with ascites using a propensity score, prognosis was poor in general but was better at 6months (58.1%) or similar at 1year (47.1%) in patients prescribed tolvaptan compared to those not prescribed tolvaptan (54.8% and 47.5%, respectively).

Poorer prognosis was suggested in inpatients with cirrhosis who had a worse Child-Pugh grade and ascites.

To assess the effects of oral semaglutide on postprandial glucose and lipid metabolism, and gastric emptying, in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

In this randomized, double-blind, single-centre, crossover trial, subjects with T2D received once-daily oral semaglutide (escalated to 14 mg) followed by placebo, or vice versa, over two consecutive 12-week periods. Glucose and lipid metabolism, and gastric emptying (paracetamol absorption) were assessed before and after two types of standardized meals (standard and/or fat-rich) at the end of each treatment period. The primary endpoint was area under the glucose 0-5-h curve (AUC

) after the standard breakfast.

Fifteen subjects were enrolled (mean age 58.2 years, HbA1c 6.9%, body weight 93.9 kg, diabetes duration 3.1 years; 13 [86.7%] males). Fasting concentrations of glucose were significantly lower, and C-peptide significantly greater, with oral semaglutide versus placebo. Postprandial glucose (AUC

) was significantly lower with oral semaglutide versus placebo (estimated treatment ratio, 0.
