The acellular fish skin grafts (AFSGs) are derived from wild fish, which avoids the influence of human immune function and the spread of the virus through low-cost decellularization. AFSGs contain a large amount of collagen and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and they have an amazing effect on wound regeneration.

Of the studied women, 78.51% had planned pregnancy. Women treated with MDI and CSII had comparable HbA1c before pregnancy or in the first and second trimesters. In the third trimester, women on CSII therapy had significantly lower HbA1c (6.07 ± 0.62 vs 6.20 ± 0.88%, <i>p</i> = .017), higher HbA1c on-target rate (71.43% vs 64.62%, <i>p</i> = .030), and greater decline of HbA1c from preconception to the third trimester (−0.65 vs −0.30%, <i>p</i> = .047). Fewer daily insulin requirements were observed in those used CSII compared with MDI-treated women (0.60 ± 0.22 vs 0.73 ± 0.25 U/kg/day, <i>p</i> = .004). Newborns born of mothers treated with the CSII method were more likely to have neonatal jaundice (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.16–6.57) and neonatal intensive care unit (adjusted OR 3.73, 95%CI 1.24–11.16), and women on CSII had lower scores in patient-reported quality of life (<i>p</i> = .045).

This second summary focuses on presentations at the meeting pertaining to obesity.</p><p>Philipp Scherer (Dallas, Texas) noted that, similarly to the importance of fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which may persist after steatosis has been treated and which underlies the development of cirrhosis, obesity is associated with increased localized fibrosis and disrupted angiogenesis in adipose tissue, mediated by low levels of adiponectin and increased production of leptin, steroid hormones, and inflammatory mediators.<span><sup>1</sup></span> Scherer highlighted the role of endotrophin, a cleavage product of collagen that may mediate fibrosis in the liver, kidneys, and heart. Development of agents to neutralize this peptide might have therapeutic benefits. He also showed studies suggesting that the greater clinical potency of tirzepatide than of the glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 receptor agonist (RA) semaglutide may be an effect of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor activation in increasing energy expenditure.</p><p>Richard Bergman (Los Angeles, California) discussed the use of the body mass index (BMI) in quantitating obesity, explaining that the measure derives from the work of Adolphe Quetelet, who developed the concept of the “Average Man” in the nineteenth century. He proposed use of an index based on the observation that weight varied in proportion to the square of height. During the twentieth century the term BMI was popularized by Ancel Keys, based on studies showing that the Quetelet index correlated with direct measurements of body fat. The BMI does not, however, give information about fat distribution, and Bergman suggested that it is not a good measure of body fat, giving no information about the mechanisms operative in a given individual. Measurement of skinfold thicknesses, the use of BMI in conjunction with waist circumference, underwater weighing, and the more recent body adiposity index (calculated as hip/height^1.48) have been proposed. Bergman reviewed his work in population studies with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry measurement of fat mass. Analysis of a variety of possible relationships between sex, height, weight, and waist circumference led Bergman to propose a new measure, relative fat mass (RFM), calculated as: RFM = 64 – (20*Height/WC) + (12*sex), with sex = 0 in men and sex = 1 (women).<span><sup>2, 3</sup></span> Bergman reviewed studies showing good prediction of risks of diabetes, heart failure, and coronary disease with this measure.</p><p>Samuel Klein (St. Louis, Missouri) discussed the complex relationships between BMI and cardiovascula","PeriodicalId":189,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Diabetes","volume":"16 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1753-0407.13568","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140639535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
