Abstract
Mazdutide is a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucagon receptor dual agonist. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of 24-week treatment of mazdutide up to 6 mg in Chinese overweight adults or adults with obesity, as an interim analysis of a randomised, two-part (low doses up to 6 mg and high dose of 9 mg), double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04904913). Overweight adults (body-mass index [BMI] ≥24 kg/m2) accompanied by hyperphagia and/or at least one obesity-related comorbidity or adults with obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2) were randomly assigned (3:1:3:1:3:1) to once-weekly mazdutide 3 mg, 4.5 mg, 6 mg or matching placebo at 20 hospitals in China. The primary endpoint was the percentage change from baseline to week 24 in body weight. A total of 248 participants were randomised to mazdutide 3 mg (n = 62), 4.5 mg (n = 63), 6 mg (n = 61) or placebo (n = 62). The mean percentage changes from baseline to week 24 in body weight were -6.7% (SE 0.7) with mazdutide 3 mg, -10.4% (0.7) with 4.5 mg, -11.3% (0.7) with 6 mg and 1.0% (0.7) with placebo, with treatment difference versus placebo ranging from -7.7% to -12.3% (all p < 0.0001). All mazdutide doses were well tolerated and the most common adverse events included diarrhoea, nausea and upper respiratory tract infection. In summary, in Chinese overweight adults or adults with obesity, 24-week treatment with mazdutide up to 6 mg was safe and led to robust and clinically meaningful body weight reduction.

Abstract
Asprosin, encoded by penultimate two exons (exon 65 and exon 66) of the gene Fibrillin 1 (FBN1), has been recently discovered to be a novel hormone secreted by white adipose tissues during fasting. The glucose metabolism disorders are often accompanied by increased asprosin level. Previous research suggests that asprosin may contribute to the development of diabetes by regulating glucose homeostasis, appetite, insulin secretion, and insulin sensitivity. In this review, we summarize the recent findings from studies on asprosin and its association with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, and discusses its mechanisms from various aspects, so as to provide clinical diagnosis and treatment ideas for T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In our previous studies, it was found that metformin can elevate the expression of FGF21 in the peripheral blood of type 2 diabetic rats and improve insulin sensitivity in diabetic rats. However, whether this effect is mediated by increased FGF21 expression in pancreatic islet β-cells is still unknown. Therefore, this study focuses on the effect of metformin on insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. AIMS Metformin can effectivly improve insulin resistance. Metformin influencing pancreatic βcell function is inclusive. In this study, we sought to analyze possible variations in insulin secretion and possible signaling mechanisms after metformin intervention. METHODS The study employed an in vivo model of a high-fat diet in streptozocin-induced diabetic rats and an in vitro model of rat pancreatic β-cells (INS-1 cells) that were subjected to damage caused by hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia. After treating INS-1 cells in normal, high-glucose, and high-glucose+metformin, we measured insulin secretion by glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). Insulin was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. FGF21 expression was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, as well as that p-Akt and t-Akt expression were detected by Western blot in INS-1 cells and diabetic rat islets. Finally, to verify the regulation of the FGF21 /Akt axis in metformin administration, additional experiments were carried out in metformin-stimulated INS-1 cells. RESULTS High-glucose could significantly stimulate insulin secretion while metformin preserved insulin secretion. Expression of FGF21 and p-Akt was decreased in high-glucose, however, metformin could reverse this effect in INS-1 cells and diabetic rat islets. CONCLUSION Our results demonstrate a protective role of metformin in preserving insulin secretion through FGF21/Akt signaling in T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) have become firmly established in treatment algorithms and national guidelines for improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).To report the findings from a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial, which was designed to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel DPP-4 inhibitor fotagliptin in treatment-naive patients with T2DM. METHODS Patients with T2DM were randomized to receive fotagliptin (n = 230), alogliptin (n = 113) or placebo (n = 115) at a 2:1:1 ratio for 24 weeks of double-blind treatment period, followed by an open-label treatment period, making up a total of 52 weeks. The primary efficacy endpoint was to determine the superiority of fotagliptin over placebo in the change of HbA1c from baseline to Week 24. All serious or significant adverse events were recorded. RESULTS After 24 weeks, mean decreases in HbA1c from baseline were -0.70% for fotagliptin, -0.72% for alogliptin and -0.26% for placebo. Estimated mean treatment differences in HbA1c were -0.44% (95% confidence interval [CI]: -0.62% to -0.27%) for fotagliptin versus placebo, and -0.46% (95% CI: -0.67% to -0.26%) for alogliptin versus placebo, and 0.02% (95%CI: -0.16% to 0.19%; upper limit of 95%CI < margin of 0.4%) for fotagliptin versus alogliptin. So fotagliptin was non-inferior to alogliptin. Compared with subjects with placebo (15.5%), significantly more patients with fotagliptin (37.0%) and alogliptin (35.5%) achieved HbA1c < 7.0% after 24 weeks of treatment. During the whole 52 weeks of treatment, the overall incidence of hypoglycemia was low for both of the fotagliptin and alogliptin groups (1.0% each). No drug-related serious adverse events were observed in any treatment group. CONCLUSIONS In summary, the study demonstrated improvement in glycemic control and a favorable safety profile for fotagliptin in treatment-naive patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Background and Aim Controlling the risk factors was the most effective strategy to prevent diabetic retinopathy (DR). This study aimed to recognize the risk factors of DR, and explores whether the effect of those factors is modified by diabetes mellitus (DM) duration. Methods A total of 1058 DM patients with information about DR assessment were included. DR was measured by a complete ophthalmic examination and was classified as having one or more distinct microaneurysms in the eyes. Data from the lab and clinical factors were gathered. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to examine the risk factors, and the best-fitting model was selected by a backward stepwise based on A1C. Results In the current study, 274 (25.9%) patients developed DR. In the entire subjects, baseline age, the level of C-peptide, and urinary creatinine were all presented as protective effects of DR, whose odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were 0.79 (0.62, 0.99), 0.75 (0.61, 0.91), and 0.70 (0.52, 0.93), respectively. Conversely, systolic pressure (SBP), urinary albumin, and BUN/Cr ratio were the important risk factors for DR with ORs (95% CIs) 1.21 (1.01, 1.46), 1.55 (1.30, 1.84), and 1.33 (1.11, 1.59), respectively. In stratification analysis, females with higher SBP would be more likely to develop DR in the short-duration group, while C-peptide and urinary creatinine showed protective effects in the long-duration group. BUN/Cr ratio all presented as a risk factor, with ORs 1.38 (p = 0.041) and 1.33 (p = 0.014) in short- and long-duration groups, respectively. Conclusion Although renal functions presented a significant association with DR in all DM patients, the risk factors of DR varied widely in different disease-duration subjects. Target strategies to prevent DR should be put forward individually, considering the patient's DM duration. Improving the BUN/Cr ratio may be beneficial to delaying DR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Janagliflozin is a novel sodium-glucose cotransport-2 inhibitor. Despite its remarkable effect in glycemic control, no systematic research has evaluated the effect of renal impairment (RI) on its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. METHODS Here, patients with T2DM (n = 30) were divided into normal renal function (eGFR ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m2), mild RI (eGFR between 60 and 89 mL/min/1.73 m2), moderate RI-I (eGFR between 45 and 59 mL/min/1.73 m2), and moderate RI-II (eGFR between 30 and 44 mL/min/1.73 m2) groups. They were administered 50 mg janagliflozin orally, and plasma and urine samples were collected for the determination of janagliflozin concentration. RESULTS Following oral administration, janagliflozin was rapidly absorbed, with the time to Cmax of 2-6 h for janagliflozin and 3-6 h for its metabolite XZP-5185. Plasma exposure levels were similar for janagliflozin in T2DM patients with or without RI but decreased for the metabolite XZP-5185 in T2DM patients with eGFR between 45 and 89 mL/min/1.73 m2. Janagliflozin significantly promoted the excretion of urinary glucose, even in patients with reduced eGFR. Janagliflozin was well tolerated in patients with T2DM with or without RI, and no serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred during this trial. CONCLUSIONS The exposure levels of janagliflozin in T2DM patients were slightly increased with worsening of RI (i.e., 11% increase in the AUC in patients with moderate RI compared with the normal renal function group). Despite worsening of renal function, janagliflozin exerted a significant pharmacologic effect and was well tolerated, even in patients with moderate RI, implying a promising role in the treatment of patients with in T2DM.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy and safety of janagliflozin in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) inadequately controlled with metformin monotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicentre phase 3 trial included a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, followed by a 28-week extension period. Patients (N = 421) with HbA1c of 7.0% or higher and 10.5% or less were randomized (1:1:1) to receive once-daily placebo, janagliflozin 25 or 50 mg. After the 24-week treatment period, patients on placebo were re-randomized (1:1) to janagliflozin 25 or 50 mg for the additional 28-week treatment, whereas patients on janagliflozin maintained the same therapy. The primary endpoint was the change from baseline in HbA1c to week 24. RESULTS At week 24, the placebo-adjusted least squares mean changes of HbA1c were -0.58% and -0.58% with janagliflozin 25 and 50 mg, respectively (P < .0001 for both). The proportion of patients achieving HbA1c less than 7.0% was higher with janagliflozin 25 and 50 mg compared with placebo (41.8%, 41.7% and 28.0%, respectively). Both janagliflozin doses provided significant reductions in fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial glucose, body weight and systolic blood pressure, and improvements in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and insulin sensitivity compared with placebo (P < .05 for all). The trends in improvement of these variables were retained during the 28-week extension period. No severe hypoglycaemia occurred throughout the whole 52-week treatment. CONCLUSIONS Janagliflozin 25 or 50 mg once-daily added to metformin therapy significantly improved glycaemic control, reduced body weight and systolic blood pressure, improved high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and insulin sensitivity, and was generally well-tolerated by Chinese T2D patients who had poor glycaemic control with metformin monotherapy.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the efficacy and safety of janagliflozin, a selective renal sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor, as monotherapy in drug-naive Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS This Phase 3 trial included a 24-week, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled period, followed by a 28-week extension period. A total of 432 patients with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels ≥7.0% (53 mmol/mol) and ≤10.5% (91 mmol/mol) were randomized (1:1:1) to receive once-daily placebo, 25 mg or 50 mg janagliflozin. After 24 weeks, patients on placebo were switched and re-randomized (1:1) to 25 mg or 50 mg janagliflozin, whereas patients on janagliflozin maintained the initial therapy. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in HbA1c after 24 weeks. RESULTS At Week 24, the placebo-adjusted least squares mean changes in HbA1c were -0.80% (95% confidence interval [CI] -0.98% to -0.62%)/-8.7 mmol/mol (95% CI -10.7 mmol/mol to -6.8 mmol/mol) and -0.88% (95% CI -1.06% to -0.70%)/-9.6 mmol/mol (95% CI -11.6 mmol/mol to -7.7 mmol/mol), respectively (P < 0.001 for both). A higher proportion of patients achieved HbA1c <7.0% (53 mmol/mol) with janagliflozin 25 mg and janagliflozin 50 mg compared with placebo (47.2%, 49.3%, and 23.5%, respectively). Both janagliflozin doses significantly decreased fasting plasma glucose, 2-hour postprandial glucose, body weight and systolic blood pressure, as well as increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and insulin sensitivity compared with placebo (P < 0.05 for all). The trends in improvement of these variables were sustained during the 28-week extension period. Overall incidences of adverse events were 67.8%, 71.5% and 60.7% with janagliflozin 25 mg, janagliflozin 50 mg and placebo, respectively. The incidence of urinary tract infections and genital fungal infections was low. No severe hypoglycaemia or ketoacidosis occurred. CONCLUSIONS Janagliflozin 25 mg and 50 mg monotherapy once-daily effectively improved glycaemic control, reduced body weight and blood pressure, improved HDL cholesterol and insulin sensitivity, and was generally well tolerated.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that metformin improved hypertriglyceridemia. The present study aim to investigate the molecular mechanism by which metformin improves hypertriglyceridemia via regulation of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) and X-box binding protein 1 (XBP1) in the liver and whether AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved. Mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD) or high-fat diet with metformin for 5 weeks to evaluate the effect of metformin on triglyceride (TG) levels and expression of DGAT2 and XBP1 in the liver. In vitro HepG2 cells or XBP1 knockout AML12 hepatocytes were stimulated with metformin, palmitic acid or small interfering RNA inducing XBP1 knockdown, or dominant-negative mutant AMPK plasmid. Metformin treatment reduced hepatic TG levels in the liver of HFD-fed mice. Expression of nuclear and cytoplasmic XBP1 protein and its downstream target gene DGAT2 decreased in the liver of HFD-fed mice and HepG2 cells after metformin treatment. AMPK inactivation or overexpression of XBP1 attenuates this effect. Our preliminary results demonstrate that metformin activates AMPK to reduce TG synthesis by inhibiting the XBP1-mediated DGAT2 pathway, at least in part, suggesting that XBP1 is a new metabolic mediator for metformin treatment of hypertriglyceridemia and associated metabolic disease.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis-colorectal cancer (UC-CRC) is one of the most serious complications in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC), with worse prognosis and higher mortality than sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC). Since most UC-CRC developed through the "inflammation-dysplasia-carcinoma" approach, early detection of dysplasia through identification of high-risk groups reasonable monitoring and active prevention are extremely important. However, there is no consensus on the risk factors of UC carcinogenesis and the drugs that can be used for chemoprevention currently. This article combined with relevant literature at home and abroad, reviewed the current risk factors and chemopreventive drugs for UC carcinogenesis, in order to provide reference for early prevention, early detection and early diagnosis of UC-CRC.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the predicting value of different risk prediction models for short-term death in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock and treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Methods: This study was a retrospective case-control study. Forty patients with STEMI complicated by cardiogenic shock who hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from April 2017 to August 2021 and treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and ECMO, were enrolled in this study. Patients were divided into survival group and death group according to their clinical outcomes at 30 days after ECMO implantation, and clinical data of the two groups were collected and analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to compare the predictive value of ACEF, AMI-ECMO, Encourage and SAVE risk scores for mortality at 30 days after ECMO implantation. According to the evaluation results of DCA, the optimal risk score was selected. Kaplan-Meier curve estimating the 30-day survival after ECMO implantation was plotted by grouping risk scores with reference to previous literatures. Results: A total of 40 patients with STEMI combined with cardiogenic shock were included, age was (57.4±16.7) years, 31 (77.5%) patients were male, there were 21 (52.5%) patients in the death group and 19 (47.5%) in the survival group. Compared with the survival group, patients in the death group had higher lactic acid values, higher proportion of anterior descending artery or left main artery lesions, and a higher proportion of acute renal failure and continuous renal replacement therapy during hospitalization (all P<0.05). Compared with survival group, ACEF, AMI-ECMO and Encourage scores were higher in death group, SAVE score was lower in death group (all P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ACEF, AMI-ECMO, Encourage and SAVE scores in predicting mortality were 0.707, 0.816, 0.757, and 0.677 respectively (P>0.05). ACEF score demonstrated the highest sensitivity (90.5%) and Encourage score exhibited the highest specificity (89.5%). DCA indicated that the AMI-ECMO and Encourage scores had the best performance in predicting the 30-day mortality after ECMO therapy. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the 30-day mortality after ECMO implantation increased with the increase of AMI-ECMO and Encourage scores (log-rank P≤0.001). Conclusions: The 4 scoring systems are all suitable for predicting 30-day mortality after VA-ECMO therapy in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. Among them, AMI-ECMO and Encourage scores have better predicting performance.

Abstract
The success of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity has sparked considerable efforts to develop next-generation co-agonists that are more effective. We conducted a randomised, placebo-controlled phase 1b study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04466904) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of IBI362 (LY3305677), a GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist, in Chinese patients with T2D. A total of 43 patients with T2D were enrolled in three cohorts in nine study centres in China and randomised in each cohort to receive once-weekly IBI362 (3.0 mg, 4.5 mg or 6.0 mg), placebo or open-label dulaglutide (1.5 mg) subcutaneously for 12 weeks. Forty-two patients received the study treatment and were included in the analysis, with eight receiving IBI362, four receiving placebo and two receiving dulaglutide in each cohort. The patients, investigators and study site personnel involved in treating and assessing patients in each cohort were masked to IBI362 and placebo allocation. Primary outcomes were safety and tolerability of IBI362. Secondary outcomes included the change in glycated haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and post-mixed-meal tolerance test (post-MTT) glucose levels. IBI362 was well tolerated. Most commonly-reported treatment-emergent adverse events were diarrhoea (29.2% for IBI362, 33.3% for dulaglutide, 0% for placebo), decreased appetite (25.0% for IBI362, 16.7% for dulaglutide, 0% for placebo) and nausea (16.7% for IBI362, 16.7% for dulaglutide and 8.3% for placebo). HbA1c, FPG and post-MTT glucose levels were reduced from baseline to week 12 in patients receiving IBI362 in all three cohorts. IBI362 showed a favourable safety profile and clinically meaningful reductions in blood glucose in Chinese patients with T2D. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP1R) agonists are used to treat type 2 diabetes (T2D), and polyagonists targeting multiple hormone receptors are investigated as potential therapeutics for T2D. Here the authors report that IBI362 (LY3305677), a balanced once-weekly GLP-1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist, showed favourable safety and tolerability in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes in a randomized controlled phase 1b clinical trial.

Abstract
PURPOSE The long noncoding RNA LINC00261 was reported to be involved in carcinogenesis and has been validated as a tumor suppressor in pancreatic cancer (PC); however, how LINC00261 is regulated has not been fully examined. Here, we attempted to investigate the upstream and downstream targets of LINC00261 in PC. METHODS LINC00261 expression in PC tissues was examined by the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets and the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) database. The quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays were performed to detect the expression level of LINC00261 in PC cells. The location of LINC00261 in PC cells was identified by RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization (RNA-FISH). Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), cell apoptosis assay, transwell invasion and migration assays testified the critical role of LINC00261 in PC. The luciferase reporter assay was applied to confirm the binding of LINC00261 to its upstream transcription factor KLF13. The changes in LINC00261 related target protein levels were analyzed by Western blotting assay. RESULTS LINC00261 was significantly lower in PC tissues and was mainly concentrated in the nucleus. Overexpression of LINC00261 inhibited the invasion and migration of PC cells. Mechanistically, transcription factor KLF13 was confirmed to inhibit the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of PC cells by promoting the transcription of LINC00261 and suppressing the expression of metastasis-associated proteins, such as matrix metalloproteinase MMP2 and vimentin, thus inhibiting the metastasis of PC. CONCLUSION LINC00261 regulates PC cell metastasis through the "KLF13-LINC00261-mTOR-P70S6K1-S6" signaling pathway, which provides a significant set of potential PC therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy within the first 24 h post extracorporeal membrane pulmonary oxygenation (ECMO) and the impact of early efficacy on the prognosis of adult patients with fulminant myocarditis (FM). Methods: This retrospective case analysis study included hospitalized patients (age≥18 years) who were diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis from November 2016 to May 2021 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Patients were divided into survival or non-survival groups according to treatment outcomes. The age, sex, treatments, drug use, ECMO use, clinical and laboratory data (before and 24 h after the use of ECMO) were analyzed. The change rate of clinical and laboratory data after 24 h use of ECMO was calculated to find differences between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors with in-hospital death and complication between the two groups. Results: A total of 38 FM patients treated with ECMO were included. There were 23 cases (60.5%) in the survival group, aged (39.6±13.7) years, and 17 (73.9%) cases were female. The total ECMO time was (134.4±71.3)h. There were 15 cases (39.5%) in non-survival group, aged (40.0±15.8) years, and there were 12(80.0%) female, the ECMO time was (120.1±72.4) h in this group. The proportion of tracheal intubation and continuous renal replacement therapy in the survivor group and dosage of norepinephrine within 24 h after ECMO implantation were significantly less than in non-survival group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in all efficacy related biochemical indexes between two groups before ECMO use. The levels of lactic acid, procalcitonin, creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase-MB, cardiac troponin I and N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide prosoma were significantly less in survival group than in non-survival group at 24 h after the use of ECMO (all P<0.05). Results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the higher 24 h change rate of creatinine (OR=0.587, 95%CI 0.349-0.986, P=0.044) and creatine kinase-MB (OR=0.177, 95%CI 0.037-0.841, P=0.029) were positively correlated with reduced risk of in-hospital mortality. The central hemorrhage and acute kidney injury in survival group were less than in non-survivor group (P<0.05). Conclusions: After 24 h early use of ECMO in FM patients, the improvement of various efficacy related biochemical test indexes in the survival group was better than that in the non-survival group. Faster reduction of creatine kinase-MB and creatinine values within 24 h ECMO use is positively correlated with reduced risk of in-hospital mortality in adult patients with FM.

Abstract
As one of the most frequently prescribed antidiabetic drugs, metformin can lower glucose levels, improve insulin resistance manage body weight. However, the effect of metformin on islet microcirculation remains unclear. In the present study, to explore the effect of metformin on islet endothelial cells and investigated the underlying mechanism, we assessed the effects of metformin on islet endothelial cell survival, proliferation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Our results suggest that metformin stimulates the proliferation of pancreatic islet endothelial cells and inhibits the apoptosis and oxidative stress caused by high glucose levels. By activating farnesoid X receptor (FXR), metformin increases the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), improves the production of nitric oxide (NO) and decreases the production of ROS. After the inhibition of FXR or VEGF-A, all of the effects disappeared. Thus, metformin appears to regulate islet microvascular endothelial cell (IMEC) proliferation, apoptosis and oxidative stress by activating the FXR/VEGF-A/eNOS pathway. These findings provide a new mechanism underlying the islet-protective effect of metformin.

Abstract
Background The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) and gout continues to increase in China. Research suggests that HUA may be related to many diseases other than gout. However, further population research is required to investigate the association between HUA and metabolic syndromes. This study sought to investigate the prevalence of HUA in an average population in China, and the association between serum uric acid (UA) levels and related metabolic disorders. Methods This multicenter retrospective real-world study examined the hospital information system data of 4 tertiary hospitals in 3 provinces in China. The data of patients aged between 18 and 80 years, who had attended at least 1 medical appointment at which their UA level was recorded, were analyzed to evaluate associations between UA levels and metabolic disorders. Results Among the 374,506 enrolled subjects (49.7% male; mean age 51.5 years old), the overall prevalence of HUA and gout were 14.8% and 0.5%, respectively. The prevalence was higher among males than females (17.6% vs. 12.0%, 0.8% vs. 0.1%; both P<0.001). Groups exhibiting higher UA levels had increased adjusted odds ratios for dyslipidemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both sexes. Changes in UA levels from the baseline were negatively correlated with changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate and hemoglobin A1c among both sexes (all P<0.001), and were positively correlated with changes in total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (all P<0.05) among males, and changes in TC, TG, LDL-C and glucose (all P<0.001) among females. Conclusions HUA is associated with dyslipidemia and CKD both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Similar phenomena were observed in both sexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Implementation of EUCAST susceptibility testing in an Australian hospital laboratory demonstrated higher rates of aminopenicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate resistance in Haemophilus influenzae than previously recognized. This study aimed to better define the variability in the detection of β-lactam resistance based on EUCAST and CLSI disc diffusion (DD) methodology, by comparison with the recommended reference method, broth microdilution (BMD), and by concordance with genomic analysis. METHODS A total of 100 random H. influenzae isolates were assessed for ampicillin and amoxicillin/clavulanate susceptibility by EUCAST and CLSI DD and BMD. WGS was used to analyse the ftsI gene of a subset of isolates with β-lactam resistance, other than that due to isolated β-lactamase production. RESULTS Of the 100 isolates, 32 were categorized as either β-lactamase negative, ampicillin resistant (BLNAR) (n = 18) or β-lactamase positive, amoxicillin/clavulanate resistant (BLPACR) (n = 14) by EUCAST DD. All 18 EUCAST BLNAR isolates were genotypically confirmed by WGS. Five of 18 BLNAR isolates were concordant by CLSI DD, 12 by EUCAST BMD and 4 by CLSI BMD. Nine of 14 EUCAST BLPACR isolates were confirmed by WGS; the remaining 5 were 1 mm below the EUCAST DD breakpoint. Only one isolate was detected as BLPACR by CLSI DD. Group III mutations associated with high-level ampicillin resistance were identified in 10/32 isolates. CONCLUSIONS The EUCAST DD susceptibility method is more reliable than either CLSI or BMD for the detection of genotypically defined BLNAR resistance. However, accurate categorization of amoxicillin/clavulanate resistance remains problematic. Continuous and reproducible surveillance of resistance is needed; for this to be possible, robust susceptibility methods are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uric acid has strong antioxidant activity, whereas its oxidative damage is closely related to many diseases. We assessed the association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in pregnant women with gestational diabetes (GDM) in China. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, a total of 456 pregnant women were enrolled. Anthropometric parameters for pregnant women were collected within 12 weeks of gestation. Weight gain during pregnancy was obtained from the patients' records. GDM was diagnosed according to 75-g oral glucose tolerance tests at the 24-28th week of gestation, and SUA was determined simultaneously. PROM was identified as the natural rupture of foetal membranes before the first stage of labour. Logistic models were fitted to identify the presence of PROM using clinical characteristics with (Model 2) or without serum uric acid (Model 1). RESULTS There were differences in BMI, haemoglobin A1c, fasting blood glucose, 1-h postprandial glucose (PG), 2-h PG, insulin levels, triglycerides,weight gain during pregnancy, the rate of macrosomia, fetus birth weight and PROM between women with and without GDM (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, GDM women with PROM had lower levels of SUA compared to those without PROM (P = 0.030). The odds ratio of PROM decreased with increasing SUA levels. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves for PROM based on Model 2 was larger than that in Model 1 (0.86 versus 0.71, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Relatively elevated SUA levels at the 24-28th weeks of gestation were associated with a lower risk of PROM in women with GDM. Therefore, SUA may be a protective factor for PROM in GDM patients. The optimal concentration of uric acid in different diseases and different populations needs to be further studied.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) such as exenatide are used as monotherapy and add-on therapy for maintaining glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The current study investigated the safety and efficacy of once-weekly PB-119, a PEGylated exenatide injection, in treatment-naive patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In this Phase II, randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study, we randomly assigned treatment-naive Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous placebo or one of three subcutaneous doses of PB-119 (75, 150, and 200 μg) for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint was the change in HbA1c from baseline to week 12, and other endpoints were fasting plasma glucose, 2 h postprandial glucose (PPG), and proportion of patients with HbA1c < 53 mmol/mol (<7.0%) and ≤48 mmol/mol (≤6.5%) at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks of treatment. Safety was assessed in all patients who received at least one dose of study drug. RESULTS We randomly assigned 251 patients to one of the four treatment groups (n = 62 in placebo and 63 each in PB-119 75 μg, 150 μg and 200 μg groups). At the end of 12 weeks, mean differences in HbA1c in the treatment groups were -7.76 mmol/mol (95% CI -9.23, -4.63, p < 0.001) (-0.72%, 95% CI -1.01, -0.43), -12.89 mmol/mol (95% CI -16.05, -9.72, p < 0.001) (-1.18%, 95% CI -1.47, -0.89) and -11.14 mmol/mol (95% CI -14.19, -7.97, p <0 .001) (-1.02%, 95% CI -1.30, -0.73) in the 75 μg, 150 μg and 200 μg PB-119 groups, respectively, compared with that in the placebo group after adjusting for baseline HbA1c. Similar results were also observed for other efficacy endpoints across different time points. There was no incidence of treatment-emergent serious adverse event, severe hypoglycaemia or death. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION All tested PB-119 doses had superior efficacy compared with placebo and were safe and well tolerated over 12 weeks in treatment-naive Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03520972 FUNDING: The study was funded by National Major Scientific and Technological Special Project for Significant New Drugs Development and PegBio.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metformin, as a first-line treatment for diabetes, interacts with many protein kinases and transcription factors which affect the expression of downstream target genes governing drug metabolism. Sulfotransferase, SULT2A1, one phase II metabolic enzyme, sulfonates both xenobiotic and endobiotic compounds to accelerate drug excretion. Herein, we designed experiments to investigate the effects and mechanisms of metformin on SULT2A1 expression in vitro. METHODS The hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, HepaRG, was cultured with different concentrations of metformin. The cell viability was measured using CCK8 kit. HepaRG was used to evaluate the protein expression of pregnane X receptor (PXR), the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), SULT2A1, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and phosphorylation of AMPK (p-AMPK), respectively, at different concentrations of metformin with or without rifampin (human PXR activator) and CITCO (human CAR activator). The coregulators with CAR on SULT2A1 promoter response elements have also been characterized. RESULTS We showed that metformin did not affect the basic expression of SULT2A1 but could suppress the expression of SULT2A1 induced by the activator of human CAR. Investigations revealed that metformin which could block CAR nuclear translocation further suppress SULT2A1. In addition, we found that the prevented CAR transfer into the nucleus by metformin was partially an AMPK-dependent event. CONCLUSION The present study indicated that the activation of AMPK-CAR pathway mediated the suppression of SULT2A1 by metformin. Metformin may affect the metabolism and clearance of drugs which are SULT2A1 substrates. The results that emerged from this work provide substantial insights into an appropriate medication in the treatment of diabetes patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The pathology mechanism of subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes remained uncertain. We aimed to find potential related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and mRNAs in the above diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS Transcriptome sequencing was performed in three patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (S), three patients with subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes (SD), and three healthy controls (N). Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) were screened in S vs. N, SD vs. N, and SD vs. S group, and the nearby and co-expressed DEmRNAs of DElncRNAs were screened in S vs. N and SD vs. N. Moreover, functional analysis of DEmRNAs was then performed by Metascape. RESULTS In total, 465, 1058, and 943 DEmRNAs were obtained in S vs. N, SD vs. N, SD vs. S, respectively, and 191 overlapping genes were obtained in S vs. N and SD vs. N group. Among which, LAIR2, PNMA6A, and SFRP2 were deduced to be involved in subclinical hypothyroidism, and GPR162, APOL4, and ANK1 were deduced to be associated with subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes. A total of 50, 100, and 88 DElncRNAs were obtained in S vs. N, SD vs. N and SD vs. S, respectively. Combining with the interaction network of DElncRNA-DEmRNA, PAX8-AS1, co-expressed with KIR3DL1, was identified to function in subclinical hypothyroidism, and JHDM1D-AS1, co-expressed with ANK1, was deduced to play a role in subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Dysfunctional lncRNAs and mRNAs may be involved in the development of subclinical hypothyroidism and subclinical hypothyroidism complicated with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
PURPOSE Before biologic and targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (b/tsDMARD) treatment, latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) screening by tuberculin skin test (TST) or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA) is recommended. However, both tests have reduced reliability in immunosuppressed patients. We investigated whether dual LTBI screening with both tests could reduce the incidence of tuberculosis. METHODS Consecutive patients receiving b/tsDMARDs for rheumatic diseases in a regional hospital were recruited. All patients underwent either TST/IGRA or both. They were categorised into a single or dual testing group and were followed up for at least 6 months. Isoniazid was prescribed if any one test was positive. RESULTS In total, 217 patients were included in this study; 121 underwent single LTBI testing and 96 underwent dual testing. Tuberculosis occurred in nine patients in the single testing group and one patient in the dual testing group (7.4% vs 1.0%, P=0.045). However, the difference was not statistically significant when follow-up duration was considered (log rank test). In total, 71 patients tested positive for LTBI with isoniazid treatment (28.9% in the single testing group and 45.8% in the dual testing group, P=0.007). Agreement between the IGRA and TST was 74.4% (Cohen's kappa=0.413); agreement was lower in patients receiving prednisolone. Infliximab use was independently associated with tuberculosis (P=0.032). Mild isoniazid-related side-effects occurred in seven patients. CONCLUSIONS Dual LTBI testing with both TST and IGRA is effective and safe. It might be useful for patients receiving prednisolone at the time of LTBI screening, or if infliximab therapy is anticipated.

Abstract
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly implemented as a conservation tool worldwide. In many cases, they are managed adaptively: the abundance of target species is monitored, and observations are compared to some model-based expectation for the trajectory of population recovery to ensure that the MPA is achieving its goals. Most previous analyses of the transient (short-term) response of populations to the cessation of fishing inside MPAs have dealt only with gonochore (fixed-sex) species. However, many important fishery species are protogynous hermaphrodites (female-to-male sex-changing). Because size-selective harvest will predominantly target males in these species, harvesting not only reduces abundance but also skews the sex ratio toward females. Thus the response to MPA implementation will involve changes in both survival and sex ratio, and ultimately reproductive output. We used an age-structured model of a generic sex-changing fish population to compare transient population dynamics after MPA implementation to those of an otherwise similar gonochore population and examine how different features of sex-changing life history affect those dynamics. We examined both demographically open (most larval recruitment comes from outside the MPA) and demographically closed (most larval recruitment is locally produced) dynamics. Under both scenarios, population recovery of protogynous species takes longer when fishing was more intense pre-MPA (as in gonochores), but also depends heavily on the mating function, the degree to which the sex ratio affects reproduction. If few males are needed and reproduction is not affected by a highly female-biased sex ratio, then population recovery is much faster; if males are a limiting resource, then increases in abundance after MPA implementation are much slower than for gonochores. Unfortunately, the mating function is largely unknown for fishes. In general, we expect that most protogynous species with haremic mating systems will be in the first category (few males needed), though there is at least one example of a fish species (though not a sex-changing species) for which males are limiting. Thus a better understanding of the importance of male fish to population dynamics is needed for the adaptive management of MPAs.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the mortality of colorectal cancer and its trend from 1999 to 2015 in Tianjin, China, and to explore the mortality features in different populations in order to provide data for prevention and control strategies of colorectal cancer. Methods: Colorectal cancer mortality data between 1999 and 2015 were collected from Tianjin population - based mortality surveillance system maintained by the Tianjin Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Population data of permanent residents were collected from Tianjin Municipal Public Security Bureau. The number of new cases and deaths, incidence [including crude incidence, age-adjusted standardized incidence and 95% confidence interval (95% CI)], and mortality (including crude mortality, age-adjusted standardized mortality and 95% CI) of colorectal cancer were calculated. Standardized incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer were calculated using the Segi's world standard population, adjusted with age and gender. JoinPoint regression and Cochran-Armitage trend test were used to determine the statistical significance of differences in mortality trend. Results: A total of 31 376 new onset cases and 14 893 death cases of colorectal cancer were observed in Tianjin from 1999 to 2015. Colorectal cancer incidence increased from 1999 to 2015 with a standardized rate from 9.66/100 000 to 15.36/100 000 [annual percent change(APC)=3.48%, Z=23.21, P<0.001]. Colorectal cancer mortality increased from 1999 to 2015 with a standardized rate from 5.18/100 000 to 6.11/100 000 (APC=1.24%, Z=5.69, P<0.001). Both showed an increasing trend. The death proportion of colon cancer increased (39.67% in 1999 and 50.33% in 2015), while the death proportion of rectal caner decreased (60.33% in 1999 and 48.57% in 2015). The median age of colorectal cancer onset fluctuated steadily around 66 years old (APC=0.16, T=1.75, P=0.100); the median age of death increased from 69 to 73 years old (APC=0.43, T=8.81, P<0.001). From 1999 to 2015, the mortality of colorectal cancer showed a downward trend (all P<0.05) in the age groups of <35 and 35-44 years, while an upward trend (all P<0.05) in the age groups of 45-54 years, 55-64 years and ≥ 65 years. Colorectal cancer mortality in males increased with a standardized rate of 5.53/100 000 in 1999 to 7.33/100 000 in 2015(APC=2.29%, Z=7.86, P<0.001), while colorectal cancer mortality in females flatted with a standardized rate of 4.83/100 000 in 1999 to 4.89/100 000 in 2015 (APC=0.10%, Z=-0.30, P=0.752). Colorectal cancer mortality increased with a standardized rate of 6.75/100 000 in 1999 to 7.33/100 000 in 2015 (APC=0.54%, Z=1.98, P=0.048) in urban areas and of 3.18/100 000 in 1999 to 4.38/100 000 in 2015 (APC=2.47, Z=6.46, P<0.001) in rural areas, whose differences were significant. Standardized mortality rate in rural area was lower but the rising velocity was faster as compared to urban area. Conclusions: Crude mortality and standardized mortality of colorectal cancer increase from 1999 to 2015 in Tianjin population. The people of elder, male and urban area have higher mortality. The mortality in people of male and rural area presents a faster rising state. Further efforts to reduce colorectal cancer mortality in Tianjin are needed to prevention and control of colorectal cancer.

Abstract
4547 Background: Patients (pts) with mUC with FGFR3 mutations who have failed platinum-based chemotherapy have a poor prognosis. Their response to immune checkpoint inhibitors appears diminished 10% or less compared to WT pts. 20% of mUC pts harbor FGFR3 mutations or fusions (M/F). Vofatamab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGFR3 that blocks activation of the wildtype and genetically activated receptor. FIERCE-21 is a Phase 1b/2 study designed to evaluate vofatamab monotherapy (VFM) or in combination with docetaxel (VFD). Methods: The P2 expansion enrolled mUC pts with FGFR3 M/F+ tumor (identified with FoundationONE CDx™), who failed ≥ 1 prior line of chemotherapy (including prior taxane for pts receiving VFM) or recurred ≤ 12 months of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy. Pts had measurable disease and ECOG ≤ 1. Treatment consisted of vofatamab at 25 mg/kg alone and in combination with docetaxel at 75 mg/m2 q3w. Efficacy was assessed by investigators (RECIST 1.1). Primary objectives were safety and objective response-rate (ORR). Results: In the P2, 21 pts each received VFM and VFD. 57% of VFD pts had received at least 2, and 71% of VFM at least 3 prior lines of therapy. Best response to prior therapy was PD for 67% of VFD and 38% of VFM. The safety profile is consistent with previously reported data. TEAEs occurring in > 20% of pts were decreased appetite, diarrhea, pyrexia, asthenia, anemia, dyspnea, and fatigue. Most common vofatamab-related TEAEs in > 10% of pts were asthenia, diarrhea, decreased appetite and rash; all were Grade 1 or 2. In VFM, only 1 pt had a grade 3 TEAE and no pt discontinued treatment due to an AE. There were no cases of hyperphosphatemia, ocular or nail toxicity; 1 pt reported grade 2 skin toxicity. For pts receiving VM, median age was 70 yrs, ECOG 1 = 67%, Hgb < 10 g/dL 5%, liver metastases 19%. Responses have been seen in 7 pts to date including those receiving both VFM and VFD. Conclusions: Vofatamab both alone and combined with D in a q3w schedule are well tolerated with a low frequency of grade 3 TEAEs. Both VFM and VFD have demonstrated efficacy in terms of ORR. PFS/OS and DOR data will be presented at 7+ months for VFD and 9+ months for VFM. Clinical trial information: NCT02401542.

Abstract
409 Background: Patients (pts) with mUC who have failed platinum-based chemotherapy have a poor prognosis. About 20% of them usually respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Also, 20% of pts with mUC harbor FGFR3 mutations or fusions (M/F), and this feature may be associated with lower sensitivity to ICI. Vofatamab (B-701) is a fully human monoclonal antibody against FGFR3 that blocks activation of the wildtype and genetically activated receptor. FIERCE-21 is a Phase 1b/2 study designed to evaluate vofatamab monotherapy (VM) or in combination with docetaxel (VD). Methods: The study consists of a P 1b lead-in (P1b with VD), previously reported followed by P2 expansion cohort in FGFR3 M/F+ pts (identified with the FoundationONE CDx™ assay on archival samples). The study enrolled mUC pts with failure to ≥ 1 line prior chemotherapy (including prior taxane treatment) or ≤12 months of (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy, measurable disease and ECOG ≤ 1. Treatment consisted of vofatamab at 25 mg/kg alone (VM) and in combination with D (VD) at 75 mg/m2 q3w. Efficacy was assessed by investigators (RECIST 1.1). Primary objectives were safety and activity (objective response-rate [ORR]). Results: 55 pts have received treatment. In the Ph 2 study, 21 pts received VM, 15 pts received VD. 35% of pts were included as 2nd line therapy, 65% in 3rd or later line of treatment. For pts receiving VD, safety was consistent with Ph 1B data. For pts receiving VM, median age was 67 yrs, ECOG 1 = 71.4%, Hgb < 10 gm/dL 13%, liver metastases 19%, ≥ 2 prior regimens 57%, (best response to prior therapy PD 31%). TEAEs occurring in ≥5% patients were asthenia (19%), diarrhea (9.5%), flushing 14%, chills (9.5%), hypotension (9.5%), decreased appetite (19%) and creatinine increased (9.5%). The majority of TEAS were grade 1 and 2. Only 1 patient on MF had a grade 3 TEAE and only 1 patient discontinued treatment due to an AE. The ORR have been seen in 7 pts to date including those receiving both VM and VD. Conclusions: Vofatamab both alone and combined with D in an every 3-week schedule are well tolerated with a low frequency of grade 3 TEAEs. Both VM and VD have demonstrated efficacy in terms of ORR, and mature results with PFS data will be presented. Clinical trial information: NCT02401542.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the mortality and years of life lost (YLL) trends of cervical cancer in Tianjin, and provide references for the research and prevention programs of cervical cancer. Methods: Mortality rate, standard mortality rate, cumulative rate (0-74 years-old) and truncated rate (35-64 years-old) of cervical cancer from 1999 to 2015 were calculated. The annual percentage change of the mortality rate and YLL rate were analyzed by using Joinpoint regression analysis, and the trend in different age-groups were analyzed. Results: From 1999 to 2015, 1 741 cases died of cervical cancer in Tianjin, the average crude mortality rate was 2.15/100 000. The average age-standardized rate of (ASR) China and ASR world were 1.47/100 000 and 1.50/100 000 respectively. The average YLL was 3 347.97 person-years. Deaths occurred in those aged 0-34 years, 35-64 years and 65 years and over accounted for 3.10%, 57.84% and 39.06% of the total, respectively. The mortality rate of cervical cancer in urban area was higher than that in rural area, with a ratio of 1.37∶1 between urban area and rural area. The age-specific mortality rate of cervical cancer during 1999-2015 increased with age. Two peaks of mortality rate were observed in those aged 50 years and aged 75 years, during 2014-2015. From 1999 to 2011, the mortality rate of cervical cancer was stable (APC=-0.2%, P=0.80), but there was a rapid increase from 2011 to 2015 (APC=21.6%, P<0.01). But group aged 20-49 years, it showed an upward trend from 1999 to 2015 (APC=6.9%, P<0.01). For group aged 50-69 years, it showed a downward trend from 1999 to 2007 (APC=-9.2%, P<0.01), and an upward trend from 2007 to 2015 (APC=14.5%, P<0.01). For group aged 70 years and over, it showed a downward trend from 1999 to 2009 (APC=-10.2%, P<0.01), but the difference in the mortality were not significant from 2009 to 2015 (APC=7.8%, P=0.10). Since 2008, the YLL rate of cervical cancer in group aged 50-70 years had exceeded that in group aged >70 years and the gap gradually widened. Conclusions: There had been a rapid increase trend of cervical cancer mortality since 2011 in Tianjin. Women aged 50-70 years were the main group of life loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes has become one of the most common diseases worldwide, causing a serious social burden. As a first-line treatment for diabetes, metformin can effectively improve insulin resistance. It has been reported that 12α-hydroxylated BA (mainly CA) is associated with insulin resistance. The purpose of this study was to analyze the changes in CA and possible signaling mechanisms in diabetic rats after metformin intervention. METHODS HepG2 cells were cultured after adding different concentrations of metformin. The cell viability was measured using CCK8 kit, and the expression of FXR, MAFG, and CYP8B1 in cells was detected by WB. The rat models of type 2 diabetes were induced by low-dose streptozotocin by feeding a high-fat diet, and the control rats (CON) were fed on normal food; the diabetic rats (DM) were given a high-fat diet without supplementation with metformin, while the metformin-treated diabetic rats (DM + MET) were given a high-fat diet and supplemented with metformin. Biochemical parameters were detected at the end of the test. Expression levels of FXR, CYP8B1, and MAFG were assessed by WB. Serum CA were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS In HepG2 cells, metformin dose-dependently enhanced the transcriptional activity of FXR and MAFG and inhibited the expression of CYP8B1. Metformin-treated DM rats showed improved glucose and bile acid metabolism. In addition, significantly increased FXR and MAFG and decreased CYP8B1 were observed in DM + MET rats. At the same time, the CA content of metformin-treated rats was lower than that of diabetic rats. CONCLUSION Changes in CA synthesis after metformin treatment may be associated with inhibition of CYP8B1. These results may play an important role in improving insulin sensitivity after metformin treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies from high-income countries report moderate-to-strong positive associations between alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other mental disorders, but there is little evidence about the comorbidity of AUD from low-and-middle-income countries. METHODS A sample of 74 752 adults from five provinces that account for >12% of China's adult population was screened using the General Health Questionnaire, and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV was administered by psychiatrists to a subsample of 9619 males. The associations between AUD and other mental disorders at each site and the characteristics of men with AUD with and without comorbid mental disorders were estimated using logistic regression and summarized across sites using meta-analysis. Generalized estimation equations estimated the associations between the clinical features of alcohol dependence and comorbidity. RESULTS Robust inverse associations were found between current AUD and any mood disorder (adjusted OR = 0.6, 95% CI = 0.4-0.8) and any anxiety disorder (OR = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.3-1.0). Compared with men without AUD, men with AUD without comorbid disorders were more likely to be middle-aged, to be currently married, and to have higher family incomes. Men with comorbid AUD and other disorders were more likely to have the clinical features of alcohol dependence than men with AUD without comorbid disorders. CONCLUSIONS Inverse associations between AUD and other mental disorders and the higher social status of men with AUD than men without AUD found in this large, representative sample of community-dwelling Chinese males highlight the importance of considering the local substance-use culture when designing clinical or preventive interventions for addictive conditions.

Abstract
An intriguing area of research in type 2 diabetes recently discovered association of metformin therapy with thyroid functional and morphological changes. We aimed to evaluate the external symptoms and biochemical indicators concerning thyroid function in rats treated with metformin. Male wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: Group (D-/M-), Group (D-/M+), Group (D+/M-), and Group (D+/M+), according to whether they were induced to diabetic model or placed on metformin. Characteristics of food intake, body weight, and other external symptoms were recorded. Thyroid function, concluding serum thyrotropin (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), were measured. We found a significantly higher TSH and lower FT4 in rats in Group (D+/M-), compared with rats in Group (D-/M-), but no significant change in FT3 level. Rats on metformin treatment exhibited relatively lower body weight and symptoms like irritability and diarrhea, concomitant with marked increase in FT3 and FT4 , no matter if they were induced to diabetic model or not . A slight but significant reduction in TSH concentration was also observed in rats received metformin. These data reveal that metformin can modify thyroid function with corresponding clinical symptoms of hyperthyroidism in male rats. Metformin's contribution to suppress TSH and increase FT3, FT4 should arise our attention to its treatment interference in clinical practice.

Abstract
Pigs have been recognised as a reservoir of livestock associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) in Europe, Asia and North America. However, little is known about the presence and distribution of MRSA in the Australian pig population and pig industry. This study describes the presence, distribution and molecular characteristics of the human adapted Australian CA-MRSA ST93 isolated from pigs, people, and the environment within a piggery. Isolates were subjected to antibiotic susceptibility testing, DNA microarray, whole genome sequencing, multi locus sequence typing, virulence and resistance gene characterization and phylogenetic analysis. MRSA were isolated from 60% (n = 52) of farm workers where 84% of isolates returned ST93 and the rest ST398. Of the thirty-one pig isolates tested further, an equal number of ST398 and ST93 (15 each) and one as ST30-V were identified. Four of six environmental isolates were identified as ST93 and two as ST398. This study has identified for the first time in Australia the occurrence of CA-MRSA ST93 and LA-MRSA ST398 amongst farm workers, pigs, and the farm environment. Comparative genome analysis indicates that ST398 is likely to have been introduced into Australia from Europe or North America. This study also reports the first linezolid resistant MRSA isolated in Australia.

Abstract
To understand metformin's effects on fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), we investigated circulating fibroblast growth factor-19 (FGF19), FGF21 levels, and FGFR1 in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In addition, protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway was detected to explain the possible mechanisms. T2DM was induced by feeding rats with high-fat diet for 11 weeks, followed by a low dose of streptozotocin (STZ, 30-35 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). Control rats (Con) were fed on a normal chow; diabetic rats (DM) were fed on high-fat diet supplemented with or without metformin (METF) for 12 weeks (500 mg·kg-1·d-1). Biochemical parameters were detected at the end of 24th weeks. FGFR1 expression and protein kinase B (Akt) phosphorylation in the pancreas and visceral adipose tissues were detected using either Western blot (WB) or immunohistochemistry (IHC). Serum FGF19 and FGF21 were measured using enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Metformin treated DM rats showed improved glucose, lipid and bile acid metabolism. Besides, significantly decreased FGF19 and increased FGF21 were observed in DM+METF rats. DM rats showed significantly increased FGFR1 both in the pancreas and visceral adipose tissues. While in DM+METF rats, FGFR1 was almost remained at a normal level in the pancreas and increased in the visceral adipose tissue compared to that in DM rats. Besides, metformin treatment restores Akt phosphorylation in both tissues. The altered glucose and lipid profiles by metformin treatment may be associated with the increased circulating FGF21 and tissue-specific expressions of FGFR1.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP-4) is a member of the BMP protein family. BMP-4 was reported to induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and promote tumor cell immigration and invasion. This study aimed to investigate the expression of BMP-4 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and its correlation with the patients' clinicophathological features and with tumor invasion and metastasis. Surgically resected PTC specimens from 82 patients admitted to the Department of Thyroid Surgery of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital between Feb 1st and May 31st, 2016 were collected. The expression level of BMP-4 in PTC tissues was examined by immunohistochemical staining. The full clinical records of all patients were collected to analyze the relevance between BMP-4 expression and the clinical pathological features of PTC. Our result showed that BMP-4-positive cell rate and staining intensity were positively correlated with the patient's age (P=0.031, 0.037), tumor size (P=0.033, 0.019), capsular invasion (P=0.001, 0.002) and TNM stage (P=0.001, 0.004), while not correlated with gender, multicentricity of tumor or lymphatic metastasis. In conclusion, this study identified BMP-4 as a potential molecular marker for predicting the invasion and progression of PTC.
