Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease associated with a high rate of disability and mortality. Prediabetes is the intermediate stage from normal blood glucose to diabetes. Reversal of prediabetes can help reduce the incidence of related complications and reduce premature mortality. Therefore, the early treatment of prediabetes is crucial, detection and effective management of this large population in time is the key to prevent diabetes. Overweight/obesity is one of the key risk factors leading to prediabetes and diabetes. In order to delay the progression of prediabetes and prevent related complications, weight loss is a key strategy to reverse prediabetes in overweight/obese patients. Lifestyle intervention is the first-line treatment for weight loss and is the most suitable intervention method. Although weight loss has been shown to have many metabolic benefits, it is a great challenge in the real world due to the long-term and complex of weight management. In order to further optimize the weight loss treatment of prediabetic patients, the study apply the mobile internet intelligent healthcare big data technology, 100 overweight/obese prediabetic patients who met the enrollment conditions were randomly divided into control group and intervention group by 1:1, with 50 patients in each group. The control group was treated according to the traditional diagnosis and treatment mode, and the diagnosis and treatment plan was formulated by the endocrinologist, and the diet education was conducted by the dietitian, and the individualized diet plan was formulated. Given a calorie-restricted diet, it is recommended to reduce daily energy intake by 500kcal on the basis of requirement. At least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week is recommended. After the visit, the patient underwent follow-up self-weight monitoring and diet management outside the hospital. The intervention group was managed by co-management of three disciplines (endocrinologists, dietitians and weight managers). The three disciplines team tracked and assessed the patients' daily diet and weight changes, and gave guidance. The duration of intervention was 6 months. To explore the impact of the new model of mobile internet healthcare and "three disciplines co-management" on overweight/obese prediabetic patients, and whether it can improve the weight, glycemic and lipid metabolism and insulin resistance, and compare the reversal rate of prediabetes in the two groups.
Freezing of gait (FOG) is a common, disabling symptom of later stage Parkinson's disease (PD), and can induce significant morbidity and mortality by increasing risk of falls as the disease progresses. Despite optimum medical management and deep brain stimulation therapy, many patients with PD are incapacitated by FOG and gait disorders. Non-invasive vibrotactile stimulation has been reported to potentially improve FOG of patients with PD. However, results of studies were variable, and there is a lack of convenient vibrotactile devices ready for daily use with reliable clinical trial data. In the proposed study, the investigator will test the effect of a newly developed vibrotactile foot device (Smart shoe) on participants diagnosed with PD and FOG. EEG and fMRI are obtained in order to investigate the underlying neurological mechanism.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the efficacy and safety of immunosuppressive withdrawal in pediatric liver transplant recipients. The main question it aims to answer is:exploring the landscape of immune tolerance after pediatric liver transplantation. Moreover,this clinical trial aims to provide important foundation and clinical data for inducing immune tolerance, as well as to clarify the mechanism of immune tolerance development in pediatric liver transplantation, identify biomarkers that can be used to predict immune tolerance, and build a prediction model of immune tolerance after pediatric liver transplantation. The study planned to enroll 47 recipients after pediatric liver transplantation which would gradually withdrawal immunosuppressive after enrollment, divided the participants into immune tolerance and immune intolerance groups based on the outcome of immunosuppressive withdrawal.In this study, we collect the peripheral blood and liver biopsy samples from the two groups, find biomarkers with predictive value for immune tolerance in recipients after pediatric liver transplantation, and build a predictive model of immune tolerance by machine learning.
To analyze and compare the long-term recurrence-free survival rate, overall survival rate and quality of survival after minimally invasive esophagectomy and open esophagectomy, and to conduct subgroup analysis according to the type of esophageal cancer and pathological stage, etc., and to explore more deeply the differences between minimally invasive esophagectomy and open esophagectomy in terms of the benefits for different types of patients, so as to provide reference for the selection of the clinical surgical methods. We will also use the available data to analyze the influence of other factors on patients' long-term survival after surgery.
The primary objective of this clinical study is to assess the comparative efficacy of individualized intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) in contrast to standard iTBS for individuals post-stroke experiencing upper limb impairment. The key inquiries addressed in this study encompass: Enhancement of Upper Limb Function: The primary investigation seeks to determine whether individualized iTBS yields superior improvements in upper limb functionality compared to standard iTBS. Long-Term Effects: This study endeavors to explore the sustained effects of both individualized and standard iTBS on upper limb function over an extended duration. Neural Mechanisms Investigation: Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) will be employed to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying the impact of iTBS on the enhancement of upper limb function. Post-stroke individuals with upper limb impairment will undergo pre-treatment assessments, including motor function evaluations and fNIRS tests. Subsequently, they will be randomized into three groups: individualized iTBS, standard iTBS, and sham stimulation. Participants will undergo post-treatment assessments and follow-up evaluations. The research team aims to discern disparities in the efficacy of different iTBS modalities. The central hypothesis posits that individualized iTBS will demonstrate superior efficacy in enhancing post-stroke upper limb function, with sustained effects persisting for a minimum of one month.
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be divided into pancreatic head cancer (PHC) and pancreatic body/tail cancer (PBTC) according to the anatomical position of tumors. There is increasing evidence that tumors at different sites exhibit different genetic or molecular features and clinical manifestations, and can affect the survival and outcomes of PDAC patients. Studies have shown that the prognosis of PBTC is worse than that of PHC, which is partly attributed to the relatively late clinical presentation of PBTC patients and the lack of overt symptoms such as obstructive jaundice, which is common in PHC. However, it has also been shown that the worse survival of PBTC compared to PHC is not related to the disease stage. Previous studies have investigated the molecular differences between PHC and PBTC and found that the frequency of SMAD4 mutation in PBTC was significantly higher than that in PHC at early stages (I-II). In the late stage (III-IV), PBTC had higher mutation frequency of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, but lower frequency of genomic alterations which can be targeted by drugs. The above genetic and molecular differences may be related to the clinical differences between PHC and PBTC. However, the differences in microbial composition and metabolism between PHC and PBTC have not been fully studied and discussed, and their relationship with clinical manifestations and prognosis is also unclear. In this study, the investigators aimed to analyze the microbial and metabolic differences between PHC and PBTC through 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing and untargeted metabolome analysis to further explore the etiology and pathogenesis of PDAC at different anatomical positions.
