Summary: This study found that serum EDA levels were significantly higher in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, and positively correlated with various metabolic indexes such as body mass index and fasting plasma glucose. Additionally, EDA levels were independently associated with T2DM.

Summary: The study found a positive association between total adiponectin and pro-inflammatory chemokines, as well as markers of inflammation in patients with untreated newly diagnosed RA. However, high-molecular weight adiponectin was only associated with specific chemokines. Leptin and resistin showed no association with plasma chemokines, markers of inflammation, or disease activity scores.

Summary: The levels of soluble ACE2 increase in diabetes, but its specific role in atherogenesis is unclear. Experimental findings suggest that increasing circulating soluble ACE2 can reduce plaque accumulation and has independent vasculoprotective effects.

Summary: The evaluation of circulating plasma cells in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients is essential to differentiate between MM and pPCL. A new study challenges the current threshold of >= 5% circulating plasma cells and suggests that a threshold of 2% circulating tumor cells may identify a subset of ultra-high-risk MM patients with comparable prognosis as pPCL. This finding has implications for treatment decisions and clinical trial enrollment.

Summary: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in intercellular communication, homeostasis maintenance, and diseases. This study aimed to assess and characterize circulating EVs in celiac disease patients and patients on a gluten-free diet (GFD) using a novel flow cytometry technique. The results showed significantly increased total EV counts in both newly diagnosed celiac disease patients and patients on GFD, while endothelial-derived and epithelial-derived EV counts were significantly decreased in subjects on gluten exclusion. These findings indicate that EVs could serve as potential disease-specific biomarkers in celiac disease.

Summary: Circulating TXNIP levels are positively associated with the severity of NAFLD among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. TXNIP may serve as a promising biomarker for NAFLD, offering an efficient way to evaluate and monitor fatty liver progression.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between initial diabetic retinopathy severity and the risk of blindness in patients with newly diagnosed DR and good vision in the U.S. It found that more advanced DR at first diagnosis was a significant risk factor for developing sustained blindness in this population.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the prognostic value of circulating plasma cells (cPCs) quantified by 10-color flow cytometry in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) cases. The study found that a high ratio of cPCs is a reliable indicator for predicting a poorer prognosis in MM patients. Incorporating the Revised International Staging System (R-ISS) and cytogenetic risk factors alongside cPC levels enhances the accuracy of prognostic predictions for MM patients.

Summary: In patients with newly diagnosed MM, CTCs were detected in 92% of cases and showed a modest correlation with BM PCs. Increasing percentages of CTCs were associated with inferior PFS, with a cutoff of 0.01% CTCs showing independent prognostic value.

Summary: The study suggests that lower NPQ concentration may be associated with obesity-related metabolic syndrome, while CHEM shows no significant correlations with cardiometabolic risk factors. Total muscle mass has an impact on NPQ concentration in the population.

Summary: The role of exercise in cancer prevention and control is being recognized, especially regarding the mobilization of leukocytes. A study on newly diagnosed breast cancer patients showed that a 10-min acute exercise increased the counts of various immune cells, such as CD8(+) T cells, CD19(+) B cells, and CD56(+)CD16(+) NK cells. The mobilization of these cells correlated positively with exercise intensity measures, suggesting a direct relationship between leukocyte mobilization and exercise intensity.

Summary: This study investigated the association between vascular aging and left ventricular (LV) geometry in newly diagnosed primary aldosteronism (PA) patients. The results showed that baPWV was significantly associated with LV concentric geometry (LVCG), and cIMT was significantly associated with LV hypertrophy (LVH). These findings provide insights into the importance of baPWV and cIMT measurements in the early assessment of cardiac damage in PA.

Summary: Objective1q21 gain/amplification (1q21+) is a common abnormal karyotype in multiple myeloma, especially in Chinese patients. This study analyzed the clinical characteristics, treatment response, and prognostic significance of 1q21+ in newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients. The results showed that 1q21+ patients had poorer prognosis and were more likely to have adverse clinical features. Autologous stem cell transplantation improved the survival of 1q21+ patients.
