Abstract
Hepatogenous diabetes (HD) is a glycogen metabolism disorder that arises as a consequence of chronic liver disease. The condition is frequently detected in patients diagnosed with cirrhosis, which is a result of advanced liver disease. The prognosis for patients with HD is generally poor, and they are at a heightened risk for serious complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding, primary peritonitis, and hepatic encephalopathy. Hepatogenous diabetes progression is often associated with cirrhosis progression, which leads to the development of liver cancer and increased patient mortality. Despite the prevalence and severity of HD, no systematic treatment strategy for clinical management of the condition has been proposed by any research or institutions to date. This paper conducts an extensive review of recent advancements in HD treatment in the quest for an effective treatment approach that may improve the overall prognosis of HD.

Abstract
Shift work has adverse health effects such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep disturbance, depression, and breast cancer. Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) results in lesions such as reflux esophagitis (RE) and Barrett's esophagus. This study investigated the association between shift work and RE. A cohort study was conducted with 140,553 participants who were followed up at least once from 2012 to 2018. Type of working and shift types were collected using standardized questionnaires. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) was performed by experienced endoscopists who were blinded to the aims of this study. According to the Los Angeles classification, RE was categorized based on the extent of esophageal mucosal breaks. During the 469,217.2 person-years of follow-up, 35,185 participants developed incident cases of RE. The multivariable adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals) for incident cases comparing shift work to fixed day work was 1.09 (1.04-1.13). This association was more strongly observed in the younger age group (18-39 years old) and the female group. In conclusion, shift work was significantly associated with the incidence of RE. Particularly, the results were more significant in the younger and female groups.

Abstract
The risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is higher in patients with diabetes mellitus, and diabetes mellitus is one of the metabolic complications of HBV infection. However, the cytokine profile of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is not fully understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytokine expression profile in CHB patients with T2DM, and to assess the regulatory function of cytokines to regulatory T cells (Tregs). Forty-four T2DM patients, 39 CHB patients, 17 patients with CHB and T2DM, and 21 control subjects were enrolled. Cytokine levels in the plasma were measured by Luminex multiplex assay. CD4+CD25+CD127dim/- Tregs were detected by flow cytometry. Tregs were purified and stimulated with recombinant human interleukin-15 (IL-15). The regulation of IL-15 on Tregs function was investigated by measuring cell number, IL-10/IL-35 secretion, and mRNA expression of immune checkpoint molecules in a Tregs+PBMC co-culture system. We found that levels of IL-1α, IL-6, and IL-33 were upregulated, while IFN-α, IL-2, IL-7, and IL-15 were downregulated in T2DM and CHB patients. CHB patients with T2DM had even lower plasma IL-7 and IL-15 levels. Tregs percentage was elevated in T2DM and CHB patients. CHB patients with T2DM had increased levels of Tregs, which correlated negatively with IL-15. Tregs showed stronger inhibitory activity in CHB patients with T2DM than in controls, T2DM, and CHB patients, which presented as reduction in cellular proliferation and induction of IL-10/IL-35 secretion. IL-15 suppressed Tregs function and inhibited the expression of immune checkpoint molecules in Tregs. The current data suggest that insufficient IL-15 levels and decreased responsiveness of Tregs to IL-15 signaling might contribute to strong immune dysfunction in CHB patients with T2DM.

Small Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen Promotes Hepatic Gluconeogenesis via Enhancing Glucagon/cAMP/Protein Kinase A/CREB Signaling. J Virol 2022; 96:e0102022.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major risk factor for serious liver diseases. The liver plays a unique role in controlling carbohydrate metabolism to maintain the glucose level within the normal range. Chronic HBV infection has been reported to associate with a high prevalence of diabetes. However, the detailed molecular mechanism underlying the potential association remains largely unknown. Here, we report that liver-targeted delivery of small HBV surface antigen (SHBs), the most abundant viral protein of HBV, could elevate blood glucose levels and impair glucose and insulin tolerance in mice by promoting hepatic gluconeogenesis. Hepatocytes with SHB expression also exhibited increased glucose production and expression of gluconeogenic genes glucose-6-phosphatase (G6pc) and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in response to glucagon stimulation. Mechanistically, SHBs increased cellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and consequently activated protein kinase A (PKA) and its downstream effector cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB). SHBs-induced activation of CREB enhanced transcripts of gluconeogenic genes, thus promoting hepatic gluconeogenesis. The elevated cAMP level resulted from increased transcription activity and expression of adenylyl cyclase 1 (AC1) by SHBs through a binary E-box factor binding site (BEF). Taken together, we unveiled a novel pathogenic role and mechanism of SHBs in hepatic gluconeogenesis, and these results might highlight a potential target for preventive and therapeutic intervention in the development and progression of HBV-associated diabetes. IMPORTANCE Chronic HBV infection causes progressive liver damage and is found to be a risk factor for diabetes. However, the mechanism in the regulation of glucose metabolism by HBV remains to be established. In the current study, we demonstrate for the first time that the small hepatitis B virus surface antigen (SHBs) of HBV elevates AC1 transcription and expression to activate cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling and subsequently induces the expression of gluconeogenic genes and promotes hepatic gluconeogenesis both in vivo and in vitro. This study provides a direct link between HBV infection and diabetes and implicates that SHBs may represent a potential target for the treatment of HBV-induced metabolic disorders.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Diabetes and hepatitis B are both global problems. The influence of diabetes on complications and prognosis of hepatitis B has been widely studied. However, the association between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the prevalence of diabetes-related complications is less documented and is uncertain. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study. We collected information from a large clinical database. A total of 1,090 Chinese inpatients with type 2 diabetes were included. RESULTS The participants were divided into two groups, including 135 patients with HBV infection and 955 patients without HBV infection. Patients with HBV infection were younger and had worse control of blood glucose than those without HBV infection. No significant difference was found in the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis between the patients with HBV infection and the patients without HBV infection. The prevalence of macrovascular complications was 54.1% and 64.4% in diabetes patients complicated with HBV infection and without HBV infection, respectively. The P-value was <0.05. However, through the logistic regression analysis, we found HBV infection was not an independent risk factor for macrovascular complications of diabetes. CONCLUSION There was no significant correlation between the prevalence of macrovascular complications, microvascular complications of diabetes, diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis and HBV infection status.

Abstract
To investigate the relationships between different hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection status and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and analyse the potential risk factors, we conducted an observational retrospective study in HBV-infected pregnant women to compare the differences of GDM prevalence and clinical outcomes between groups divided by HBV infection status. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlations among hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), HBV DNA and liver function. Logistic regression model was used to analyse the risk factors. In all, 1390 HBsAg-positive pregnant women were enrolled. HBeAg titre and HBV DNA, ALT and AST were correlated (r = 0.743, p < 0.001; r = 0.813, p < 0.001). Overall GDM prevalence was 21%. GDM prevalence of HBV-infected women with abnormal liver function was higher than those with normal liver function (26.8% vs. 20%, p = 0.027). Age over 35 years and abnormal liver function over 5 times ULN and 1-2 times ULN were independent risk factors for GDM prevalence with odds ratio (OR) of 1.858 (95% CI 1.227-2.815), 1.589 (95% CI 1.023-2.468) and 2.203 (95% CI 1.029-4.718), respectively. GDM prevalence in HBV-infected pregnancies with abnormal liver function was higher than those with normal liver function. Age over 35 years and abnormal liver function were independent risk factors for GDM in HBV-infected women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This review aimed to identify hepatitis C virus (HCV) prevalence estimates among the general population and six key populations (people who inject drugs, men who have sex with men, sex workers, prisoners/detainees, Indigenous people, and migrants) in the World Health Organization Western Pacific Region (WHO WPR). METHODS Original research articles published between 2016 and 2020 were identified from bibliographic databases. Publications were retrieved, replicas removed, and abstracts screened. Retained full texts were assessed and excluded if inclusion criteria were not met. Methodological quality was assessed using the Johanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal checklist for prevalence data. Data on HCV exposure and active infection were extracted and aggregated and forest plots generated for each population by country. RESULTS There were no HCV prevalence estimates in any population for more than half of WPR countries and territories. Among the 76 estimates, 97% presented prevalence of exposure and 33% prevalence of active infection. General population viraemic prevalence was 1% or less, except in Mongolia. Results confirm the endemic nature of HCV among people who inject drugs, with estimates of exposure ranging from 30% in Cambodia to 76% in Hong Kong. CONCLUSIONS Countries require detailed knowledge of HCV prevalence in diverse populations to evaluate the impact of efforts to support WHO HCV elimination goals. Results provide baseline estimates from which to monitor and evaluate progress and by which to benchmark future elimination efforts.

Abstract
Background This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence, genotypic patterns, and predominant mutations of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among diabetic patients. Methods Serum samples were obtained from 733 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 782 non-diabetic controls. The presence of HBsAg and HBcAb was determined by ELISA. Nested PCR, targeting S and pre-core regions of the HBV genome, followed by sequencing was carried out to determine HBV genotypes and predominant mutations in the S, basal core promoter (BCP), and pre-core regions of the HBV genome. Results Of 733 diabetic patients, 94 cases (12.82%) were positive for HBcAb, 28 cases (3.82%) were positive for HBsAg, and 19 cases (2.59%) had HBV-DNA with genotype D, sub-genotype D1/D3 and subtype ayw2. An occult HBV infection was found in one of the HBV DNA-positive samples, which was positive for HBcAb but negative for HBsAg. P120T/G145R, G1896A/G1899A, and A1762T/G1764T were the most frequent point substitution mutations detected in the S, pre-core, and BCP regions of the HBV genome, respectively. P120T and G145R mutations were associated with low levels or undetectable levels of HBsAg in serum. Therefore, routine tests based on HBsAg detection cannot detect HBsAg-negative infected patients. Conclusions Relatively high prevalence of HBV infection was found in diabetic patients, while all of the HBV-infected patients were unaware of their infection. Therefore, screening for HBV infection should be included in the management program of diabetes for timely diagnosis and treatment of infected but asymptomatic patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies examining impairment, disability and social disadvantage of patients with chronic viral hepatitis B (CHB) are scarce and present conflicting conclusions. AIM To assess the deficiency, incapacity, and social disadvantage of patients with CHB. METHODS This is a project of a case-control study with two age-matched groups. Cases (n=27) will be untreated patients with a CHB. Controls (n=27) will be healthy participants. The following data will be collected: deficiency [anthropometric, biochemical (renal and hepatic functions, lipid balance, and inflammatory markers), haematological, virological, handgrip-strength, and spirometric data], incapacity [6-min walk distance, number of stops, oxy-haemoglobin saturation, dyspnoea (visual analogue scale), heart-rate, and blood-pressure] and social disadvantage ["chronic liver disease" and physical-activity questionnaires]. Each spirometric data < lower-limit-of-normal will be considered abnormal. A handgrip-strength <26 kg (male) or <16 kg (female) will be considered low. The signs of walking intolerance will be: stop during the walk, 6-min walk distance ≤ lower-limit-of-normal, dyspnoea at the end of the walk> 5/10, drop in oxy-haemoglobin saturation >5 points, heart-rate at the end of the walk ≤60%. A total physical-activity score <9.42 will classify the participant as sedentary. EXPECTED RESULTS Compared with controls, cases will have a marked alteration of submaximal aerobic data. These alterations will worsen quality-of-life and may be related to muscle and/or spirometric abnormalities, and supported by systemic inflammation and high viral load.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is common in liver cirrhosis (LC). The pathophysiological association is bidirectional. DM is a risk factor of LC and LC is a diabetogenic condition. In the recent years, research on different aspects of the association DM and LC has been intensified. Nevertheless, it has been insufficient and still exist many gaps. The aims of this review are: (1) To discuss the latest understandings of the association of DM and LC in order to identify the strategies of early diagnosis; (2) To evaluate the impact of DM on outcomes of LC patients; and (3) To select the most adequate management benefiting the two conditions. Literature searches were conducted using PubMed, Ovid and Scopus engines for DM and LC, diagnosis, outcomes and management. The authors also provided insight from their own published experience. Based on the published studies, two types of DM associated with LC have emerged: Type 2 DM (T2DM) and hepatogenous diabetes (HD). High-quality evidences have determined that T2DM or HD significantly increase complications and death pre and post-liver transplantation. HD has been poorly studied and has not been recognized as a complication of LC. The management of DM in LC patients continues to be difficult and should be based on drug pharmacokinetics and the degree of liver failure. In conclusion, the clinical impact of DM in outcomes of LC patients has been the most studied item recently. Nevertheless many gaps still exist particularly in the management. These most important gaps were highlighted in order to propose future lines for research.

The association between prolonged sedentary time and coronary artery calcification in young healthy men in Korea: a cohort study. Sci Rep 2022; 12:2724.

Abstract
Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is a useful method for predicting coronary artery disease in asymptomatic adults. In this study, we investigated the association between prolonged sedentary time and CACS. A cohort study was conducted in 14949 men with negative CACS (CACS = 0) at baseline who were followed up at least once. Sedentary time was categorized into < 7, 7–8, and ≥ 9 h/day. CACS was calculated by cardiac tomography. During 60,112.1 person-years of follow-up, 569 participants developed positive CACS. The multivariable adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for incident positive CACS comparing sedentary times of 7–8 h/day and ≥ 9 h/day to sedentary time of < 7 h/day were 1.25 (0.97–1.62) and 1.28 (1.03–1.59), respectively. This association was more strongly observed in the non-obese group (BMI < 25 kg/m2). In contrast, in the obese group (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2), there was no significant association between sedentary time and incidence of positive CACS. Prolonged sedentary time was significantly associated with incidence of positive CACS in the study. CACS is also an effective screening tool for predicting future cardiovascular events in asymptomatic patients. Therefore, CACS can be an effective screening method for predicting coronary artery diseases in people with prolonged sedentary time, especially in metabolically healthy people.

BACKGROUND Diabetes is one of the most common comorbidities in COVID-19 patients that pertains to disease severity, but the causal mechanism regarding its negative impact on COVID-19 outcome has yet been uncovered. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 459 COVID-19 patients admitted in early 2020 and 336 COVID-19 patients admitted in August 2021, with their demographic information, medical history, vaccination status (if applied), and laboratory data reported. RESULTS Among COVID-19 patients, compared to the non-diabetic group, the diabetic group exhibited elder age, higher proportion of patients with other major comorbidities, more severe dysfunction of innate immune cells, more refractory blood coagulopathy and more detrimental organ damage. For the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 infection, diabetic comorbidity was associated with COVID-19 severity but not mortality, and the glycemic levels in the non-diabetic group upon infection experienced high and analogous to those in the diabetic group. Besides, infected by the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, the non-diabetic patients did not demonstrate hyperglycemia, and despite different vaccination statuses, the diabetic patients exhibited comparable antibody responses to non-diabetic, showing the robustness of acquired immunity. CONCLUSIONS SARS-CoV-2 infection may superimpose the deterioration of innate immune systems in diabetic patients, which contributes to their worsened disease outcome, but timely COVID-19 immunization could provide adequate protection in diabetic population that leads to favored prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) was associated with a lower prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The impact of CHB on the link between NAFLD and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and related virological implications remain unclear. METHODS We recruited 2255 middle-to older-aged individuals who were examined serially for hepatic steatosis by ultrasonography and blood biochemistry as part of a population-based hepatocellular-carcinoma cohort study. In CHB patients, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance and variation in viral load trajectory were also evaluated. RESULTS During the average follow-up of 6 years, 168 participants developed T2D. CHB, as compared with uninfected subjects, was associated with lower risks for both new development and persistence of hepatic steatosis. Furthermore, the risk of steatosis decreased with higher levels of past viral load trajectories (p for trend = 0.0002). However, concomitant steatosis at baseline in CHB patients was still significantly associated with a 1.98-fold increased risk for T2D after multivariate adjustment including age, impaired fasting glucose, cirrhosis, and time-varying body mass index, although CHB reduced the propensity of hepatic steatosis to develop diabetes, especially for patients with high levels of past viral-load trajectory. In CHB, the functional cure of HBV infection, as indicated by HBsAg seroclearance, was associated with a 1.41-fold (95% CI 1.12-1.79) increased risk of steatosis. In addition, the increased risk for progressive impairment of glucose metabolism due to steatosis was especially prominent after HBsAg seroclearance. CONCLUSION The data showed that HBV interferes with fatty liver disease and modulates its related T2D risk, offering additional insight into the interplay between NAFLD and CHB.

Abstract
Diabetes is a noncommunicable widespread disease that poses the risk of severe complications in patients, with certain complications being life-threatening. Hepatitis C is an infectious disease that mainly causes liver damage, which is also a profound threat to human health. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has many extrahepatic manifestations, including diabetes. Multiple mechanisms facilitate the strong association between HCV and diabetes. HCV infection can affect the insulin signaling pathway in liver and pancreatic tissue and change the profiles of circulating microRNAs, which may further influence the occurrence and development of diabetes. This review describes how HCV infection causes diabetes and discusses the current research progress with respect to HCV infection-related diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the impact of dietary management using teach-back method on glucose and lipid metabolism and quality of life in patients with hepatitis B complicated with diabetes. METHODS A total of 110 patients with hepatitis B complicated with diabetes admitted to our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and divided into Group A (n=60) and Group B (n=50) in accordance with different intervention measures. Group A was treated with dietary management using teach-back method, while Group B was treated with conventional dietary management. The two groups received follow-up observations. The changes in indices of glucose and lipid metabolism within 12 months after intervention were recorded and compared between the two groups, and the changes in treatment adherence, dietary adherence and quality of life scores were compared between the two groups before and after intervention. RESULTS The results showed that at month 1-12 after intervention, Group A had lower levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h post-load plasma glucose (2hPG), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triglycerides (TG), and total cholesterol (TC) compared with Group B (P < 0.05). The comparison of treatment adherence revealed that the good and excellent adherence rate in Group A was noticeably higher than that in Group B after intervention (93.33% VS. 70.00%) (P < 0.05). The scores of dietary adherence attitude and behavior and quality of life in Group A were also remarkably higher than those in Group B after intervention (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The dietary management using teach-back method can effectively improve the indices of glucose and lipid metabolism, treatment adherence, dietary adherence, and quality of life in patients with hepatitis B complicated with diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the development of diabetes remains controversial. This study examined the effect of HBV infection on glucose homeostasis using a duck HBV (DHBV) model. METHODS Plasma DHBV DNA was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Tissue infection of DHBV was determined by detecting DHBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) with a method of rolling circle amplification combined with cross-gap PCR, and verified by fluorescence in situ hybridization assay. An intravenous injection glucose tolerance test (GTT) was used to analyze the effect of DHBV infection on glucose tolerance. RESULTS Of the finally included 97 domestic ducks, 53 (54.6%) were congenitally infected by DHBV. The positive rate of DHBV cccDNA in the liver, kidney, pancreas, and skeletal muscle of the infected ducks was 100, 75.5, 67.9, and 47.2%, respectively. The DHBV-infected ducks had higher blood glucose levels at 15 and 30 min post-load glucose (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively) in the GTT, much more individuals with greater glucose area under curve (p < 0.01), and a 57% impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) rate, as compared with noninfected controls. In addition, the subgroups of the infected ducks with DHBV cccDNA positive in skeletal muscle maintained the higher blood glucose level up to 2 h post-load glucose during the GTT and had a 76% IGT rate. CONCLUSION These results suggest that DHBV intrahepatic and extrahepatic infection impairs glucose tolerance, and thus evidence the association of DHBV infection with the dysregulation of glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Hepatocrinology is defined as a bidirectional, complex relationship between hepatic physiology and endocrine function, hepatic disease and endocrine dysfunction, hepatotropic drugs and endocrine function, and endocrine drugs and hepatic health. The scope of hepatocrinology includes conditions of varied etiology (metabolic, infectious, autoimmune, and invasive) that we term as hepato-endocrine syndromes. This perspective shares the definition, concept, and scope of hepatocrinology and shares insight related to this aspect of medicine. It is hoped that this communication will encourage further attention and research in this critical field.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to confirm whether hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the levels of liver enzymes would increase the risk of prediabetes and diabetes mellitus (DM) in China. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10,741 individuals was enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Cox regression analysis was used to calculate the Hazard ratios (HRs) to evaluate the relationships between HBV infection and the risk of DM and prediabetes. Decision trees and dose response analysis were used to explore the effects of liver enzymes levels on DM and prediabetes. RESULTS In baseline population, HBV infection ratio was 5.31%. In non-adjustment model, the HR of DM in HBV infection group was 1.312 (95% CI, 0.529-3.254). In model adjusted for gender, age and liver cirrhosis, the HR of DM in HBV infection group were 1.188 (95% CI, 0.478-2.951). In model adjusted for gender, age, liver cirrhosis, smoking, drinking, the HR of DM was 1.178 (95% CI, 0.473-2.934). In model further adjusted for education, family income and occupation, the HR of DM was 1.230 (95% CI, 0.493-3.067). With the increases of levels of Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), the risk of prediabetes was gradually increasing (Pnon-linearity<0.05). There were dose-response relationships between ALT, GGT and the risk of DM (Pnon-linearity<0.05). CONCLUSIONS HBV infection was not associated with the risk of prediabetes and DM. The levels of liver enzymes increased the risk of prediabetes and DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The effect of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on diabetes has remained unclear. We thus conducted a prospective cohort study to investigate the association between different HBV infection status and new-onset diabetes in a Chinese population. METHODS We enrolled 55,520 participants with HBV serological markers and diabetes free in 2010 in Kailuan cohort. Cox regression models were used to analyze the relationship between different HBV infection status and incidence of diabetes after adjusting different confounders. RESULTS During an average follow-up of 5.6 years, we identified 6008 incident patients with diabetes. Compared to the participants with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative/hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) negative/hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) negative, those with chronic HBV infection or with HBsAg negative/anti-HBc positive had a higher risk to occur diabetes. The hazard ratios were 1.18 (95% CI 0.99-1.40, p = 0.0588) and 1.22 (95% CI 1.08-1.36, p = 0.0009), respectively. The association between chronic HBV infection, anti-HBc positive and diabetes was different between those with different levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol, blood pressure, body mass index, and age. CONCLUSION The individuals with chronic HBV infection or anti-HBc positive may have an increased risk of diabetes, and the association may be modified by the different status of metabolism related variables and age. Effective management of HBV infection may contribute to the reduction of the burden of both hepatitis B and diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine whether hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seropositivity and hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) seropositivity were associated with the presence of diabetes in two population-based studies in southern China, the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study (GBCS) and the Major Infectious Disease Prevention and Control (MIDPC) study. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING The GBCS was conducted among a community social and welfare organisation with branches in all 10 districts of Guangzhou. The MIDPC was conducted among the community residents in two districts of Guangzhou and three districts of Zhongshan. PARTICIPANTS 4947 participants from the GBCS and 4357 participants from the MIDPC were included in this study. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES Type 2 diabetes was the main study outcome, which was diagnosed by fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/L, and/or self-reported history of diabetes. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, education, occupation, smoking status, alcohol use, physical activity and body mass index, we found no association of HBsAg seropositivity in GBCS or MIDPC (OR=1.12, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.69, and OR=0.83, 95% CI 0.59 to 1.17, respectively), and HBsAb seropositivity (OR=0.85, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.12, OR=1.00, 95% CI 0.86 to 1.16, respectively) with the presence of diabetes. Null associations were found for analysis pooling GBCS and MIDPC data after similar adjustment. The adjusted OR for the associations of HBsAg seropositivity and HBsAb seropositivity with the presence of diabetes in the pooled sample was 0.91 (95% CI 0.70 to 1.19) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.86 to 1.12), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Taking advantage of data from two large cross-sectional studies, we found no association of serological status of HBsAg and HBsAb with the presence of diabetes or glucose measures.

Abstract
Four out of five people in the world with diabetes now live in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), and the incidence of diabetes is accelerating in poorer communities. Diabetes increases susceptibility to infection and worsens outcomes for some of the world’s major infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, melioidosis and dengue, but the relationship between diabetes and many neglected tropical diseases is yet to be accurately characterised. There is some evidence that chronic viral infections such as hepatitis B and HIV may predispose to the development of type 2 diabetes by chronic inflammatory and immunometabolic mechanisms. Helminth infections such as schistosomiasis may be protective against the development of diabetes, and this finding opens up new territory for discovery of novel therapeutics for the prevention and treatment of diabetes. A greater understanding of the impact of diabetes on risks and outcomes for infections causing significant diseases in LMIC is essential in order to develop vaccines and therapies for the growing number of people with diabetes at risk of infection, and to prioritise research agendas, public health interventions and policy. This review seeks to give an overview of the current international diabetes burden, the evidence for interactions between diabetes and infection, immune mechanisms for the interaction, and potential interventions to tackle the dual burden of diabetes and infection.

Abstract
In recent years there has been an active discussion about the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic liver diseases (CLD). On the one hand, patients with diabetes have an increased risk of developing CLD. On the other hand, patients with CLD very often identify abnormal glucose metabolism which ultimately leads to impaired glucose tolerance and the development of diabetes. This review outlines potential causal relationships between some CLD and DM. Common mechanisms that provoke metabolic and autoimmune disorders in the development of various nosologies of the CKD group, leading to steatosis, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance and the development of diabetes are described. Certain features of the assessment of carbohydrate metabolism compensation in patients with hepatic dysfunction, anemia and protein metabolism disorders are described.

Abstract
The dried rhizome of Musa basjoo Sieb. et Zucc. is Rhizoma Musae. It has been used to treat diabetes in Miao medicine in China. Lupenone was isolated from Rhizoma Musae and has good anti-diabetic activity. Its mechanism of action is unclear. Diabetes is a chronic low-level systemic inflammatory disease, and lupenone has anti-inflammatory activity, but the underlying mechanism is not fully elucidated. In this study, we aimed to construct the drug-target biologic network and predict the anti-inflammatory mechanism of lupenone. The network-based pharmacologic analysis platform was used to identify the target proteins related to inflammation. Furthermore, the effects of lupenone on acute, subacute and diabetic pancreatic inflammation were evaluated. The "component-target-disease" network was constructed using Cytoscape. Lupenone could regulate transcription factor p65, NF-kappa-B inhibitor alpha, transcription factor AP-1, NF-kappa-B essential modulator, nuclear factor NF-kappa-B p105 subunit, epidermal growth factor receptor, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha and other proteins related to the PI3K-Akt, Toll-like receptor and NF-kappa B signaling pathways. In addition, lupenone significantly decreased acute and subacute inflammation in mice as well as the IL-1β and IFN-γ levels in the pancreas of diabetic rats. The above results provide strong support for studying the molecular mechanism of lupenone in the treatment of diabetes from the perspective of anti-inflammation.

Abstract
Metformin, as a dimethyl biguanide prescribed as the first-line medication for treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus, is one of the most frequently used drugs, worldwide. However, the beneficial effects of metformin are not limited to insulin sensitizing and blood glucose lowering effects as recent clinical trials deciphered lower cancer risk in metformin users. In addition, metformin protected the liver against chemical or viral hepatotoxicants through various mechanisms including activation of AMPK via inhibition of mitochondrial complex I, inhibition of mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and inhibition of Smads phosphorylation. Clinical trials are under way to assess possible additive effects of metformin when co-administered along with the standard regimen for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. This review outlines the molecular mechanisms behind protective activity of metformin against different liver diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) related metabolic disorders are associated with a worse prognosis of chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the relationships among CHB, steatosis, IR and metabolic factors remain controversial. The study aims to evaluate the impact of insulin resistance severity on metabolic profiles in patients with CHB, NAFLD and the coincidence of the two. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study between January 2011 and December 2018 that included 2768 consecutive Chinese subjects (healthy controls: 667, CHB: 970, NAFLD: 878, CHB with NAFLD: 253). IR was determined with the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Metabolic measures included fasting serum insulin, glucose, lipid profiles and uric acid. RESULTS The prevalence of IR was increased in CHB with NAFLD subjects compared with that in control subjects or subjects with CHB or NAFLD alone (41.5% vs 2.9%/11.9%/36.9%, respectively; P < 0.001). Within NAFLD and CHB with NAFLD group, the frequency of metabolic syndrome, hypertension and hyperuricemia increased as the HOMA-IR category increased (P for trend < 0.05). A higher risk for total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and elevated alanine transaminase was observed with IR in the CHB with NAFLD group compared with that in the other groups, while no stepwise increase in hypertriglyceridemia was found in HOMA-IR in the CHB with NAFLD group. CONCLUSION Insulin resistance is highly prevalent in patients with CHB combined with NAFLD, and the increased metabolic risk, rather than hypertriglyceridemia, is driven by IR in CHB combined with NAFLD.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a prevalent public health issue worldwide. Its impact on important pregnancy outcomes, such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), has not been clearly established. The findings from published studies are inconsistent. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to clarify whether HBV infection manifested during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of GDM. We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for cohort studies and case-control studies that investigated the association between maternal hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positivity and GDM. We pooled adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and unadjusted OR, respectively, using the random-effect generic inverse variance method. We assessed risk of bias using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool and conducted five pre-specified subgroup analyses. In total, 23 cohort studies involving 3 529 223 participants were included. The risk of GDM was 6.48% (1868/28 829) among HBsAg-positive pregnant women and 3.41% (119 283/3 500 394) among HBsAg-negative pregnant women. Meta-analyses of both unadjusted and adjusted effect estimates showed that HBsAg positivity during pregnancy was associated with higher risk of developing GDM (unadjusted OR 1.35, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.56, I2 = 82.6%; adjusted OR 1.47, 1.22 to 1.76, I2 = 62%). Among pre-specified subgroup analysis, significant differences were found among studies with high vs low or moderate risk of bias. The results were robust to sensitivity analyses. In conclusion, HBsAg positivity during pregnancy has a moderate effect on an increased risk of GDM. Given the size of the population with HBV infection worldwide, however, this effect could have substantial impact on pregnancy. Further studies are warranted to investigate whether active infection with HBeAg positivity would further elevate the risk of adverse events during pregnancy.

Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in cirrhotic patients is much higher than that in the general population. Two types of diabetes are usually seen in patients with cirrhosis: type 2 diabetes mellitus and hepatogenous diabetes (HD). The HD is an acquired condition which is believed to be caused by impaired insulin clearance and pancreatic β-cell dysfunction in cirrhotic patients. Increased levels of advanced glycation end products and hypoxia-inducible factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of HD. Patients with HD typically present with normal fasting glucose, but abnormal response to an oral glucose tolerance test, which is required for the diagnosis. Because the level of glycated hemoglobin is often falsely low in patients with cirrhosis, it does not help in the early diagnosis of HD. HD is associated with an increased rate of complications of cirrhosis, decreased 5-year survival rate, and increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The major complications of cirrhosis associated with HD include hepatic encephalopathy (HE), spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, sepsis, variceal hemorrhage, and renal dysfunction. Treatment of HD may be difficult as many antihyperglycemic therapies are associated with increased risk of complications in cirrhosis, particularly hypoglycemia. Biguanides, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and new medications such as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors appear to be safe in patients with cirrhosis. Though insulin therapy is currently advocated, requirement of insulin is variable and is difficult to predict. The liver transplantation usually results in reversal of HD. This review article provides an overview of magnitude, patients' characteristics, clinical implications, pathophysiological mechanisms, diagnosis, and management of HD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, cardiovascular risk factors and cerebro-cardiovascular (CCV) disease. METHODS The source of data was the Egypt Health Issues Survey conducted in 2015. Participants were 11 256 individuals with complete HCV testing, age 25-59 years. Data on demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, CCV disease (myocardial infarction and/or cerebral stroke) and HCV infection were retrieved. Descriptive, bivariate, multivariable logistic regression and sensitivity analyses were performed to determine the independent association of past HCV exposure or chronic infection with diabetes, hypertension and CCV disease. RESULTS 3.9% of participants were antibody positive/RNA negative and considered to have past HCV exposure; 7.9% had detectable HCV-RNA and were considered to have chronic infection. Participants with negative antibodies and no history of liver disease (n = 9928) were the control group. In addition to the previously known risk factors, multivariable analyses revealed that diabetes was independently associated with past HCV exposure (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.27-2.32) and HCV chronic infection (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.23-1.97), whereas CCV disease was independently associated with past exposure (OR = 2.69, 95% CI: 1.62-4.46) and not with chronic infection. No evidence of an association between hypertension and either HCV status was found. CONCLUSION The association of both past HCV exposure and chronic infection with diabetes and that of past HCV exposure with CCV disease may suggest targeting HCV-positive reactors for preventive and curative programmes addressing extrahepatic complications.

Abstract
While the association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and diabetes has been established, the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and diabetes remains unclear. Therefore, we compared the association between diabetes development in HBV, HCV and co-infected (HBV/HCV) patients to that in noninfected participants using population-based cohort data. We used the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort, which consists of 514 791 randomly selected persons among those who underwent health check-ups from 2002 to 2003 aged 40-79 years. Adults found to have HBV or HCV infection from 2002 to 2003, without a prior history of diabetes, were selected as subjects. Competing risk regression models were used to estimate cumulative incidence and hazards ratios (HRs) of diabetes development. The cumulative incidences, incidence densities and HRs of diabetes were highest in the co-infected group, followed by those in the HCV-, HBV- and noninfected groups. The 12-year cumulative incidences were as follows: 42.0% in HBV/HCV-, 32.9% in HCV-, 23.9% in HBV- and 18.3% in the noninfected groups. The incidence density per 1000 person-years was 55.0, 51.5, 38.2 and 28.2 for the HBV/HCV-, HCV-, HBV- and noninfected groups, respectively. The adjusted HRs for diabetes were 1.90, 1.68 and 1.41 for the HBV/HCV-, HCV- and HBV-infected groups, respectively. Our findings suggest that both HCV and HBV infections are associated with the development of diabetes; therefore, prevention of, screening for, and treatment of both may reduce the risk of diabetes in these patients.

Abstract
<b><i>Background:</i></b> The ever-increasing global prevalence of hepatitis C infection is fueling the burden of diabetes mellitus, which exacerbates various complications and may be a cause of death of millions of people. Several studies have reported that hepatitis C virus infection is an important risk factor for the development of diabetes mellitus. However, fragmented studies have reported variable and inconsistent findings regarding the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among hepatitis C virus-infected patients. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to estimate the overall prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among patients infected with hepatitis C virus. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> This systematic review and meta-analysis includes original articles reporting on cohort and cross-sectional studies. A systematic search was performed in PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. A random-effects meta-analysis model was used to estimate the global pooled prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among hepatitis C-infected patients. A sensitivity analysis was conducted to check the stability of the summary estimate. Heterogeneity was assessed using the <i>I</i><sup>2</sup> statistic. A subgroup analysis was also conducted based on geographical region. Funnel plots were used to spot publication bias. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 40 eligible articles reporting data on 14,765 study participants were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among hepatitis C virus-infected patients was 19.67% (95% CI: 17.25, 22.09). The subgroup analysis showed a pooled prevalence of 27.72% (95% CI: 20.79, 34.65) in Africa, 20.73% (95% CI: 17.57, 23.90) in Asia, 16.64% (95% CI: 6.79, 26.49) in North America, and 15.02% (95% CI: 10.66, 19.38) in Europe. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> The overall prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus among hepatitis C virus-infected patients was considerably higher than in the general population in a global perspective. The highest prevalence was noted in Africa and Asia, followed by North America and Europe. Therefore, early intervention is needed (prevention and early treatment of hepatitis C virus infection) to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The present work was designed to investigate the antihyperglycaemic and protective effects of two Hericium erinaceus intracellular polysaccharide (HIPS) purified fractions (HIPS1 and HIPS2) from mycelia of H. erinaceus SG-02 on pancreas, liver and kidney in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The supplementation of HIPS1 and HIPS2 significantly decreased the blood glucose (GLU) levels; suppressed the abnormal elevations of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (CRE) levels in serum; improved the antioxidant enzymatic (superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT)) activities; and attenuated the pathological damage to these organs. The HIPS1 showed superior effects in antihyperglycaemia and organic protection than HIPS2 possible owing to the abundant functional groups (-NH2, -COOH and S=O) in HIPS1, indicating that H. erinaceus SG-02 could be used as a functional food and natural drug for the prevention of diabetes and its complications.
