Abstract
Background and aim Chinese herbal injection (CHI) is a widely used preparation for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment to alleviate the adverse drug reactions and enhance the clinical efficacy of chemotherapy. However, its efficacy and safety in combination with platinum-based chemotherapy (PBC) remain poorly understood owing to the lack of high-level evidence in the face of a wide variety of CHIs. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of CHIs in combination with PBC regimens in the treatment of mid- and advanced NSCLC. Methods Systematic evaluation and meta-analysis were conducted as per the Preferred Reporting Project for Systematic Evaluation and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P). Seven databases were comprehensively searched for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) through August 1, 2022. The quality of each study was evaluated based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. Statistical analysis was performed using Revman 5.3, with dichotomies expressed as risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Objective response rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) were selected as the primary outcomes, with quality of life (QoL) and toxic side effects as secondary outcomes. Results A total of 140 RCTs were included in this study. The results of the meta-analysis suggested that, compared with PBC alone, PBC combined with CHIs significantly improved the ORR (RR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.30-1.41, P<0.001), DCR (RR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.13-1.18, P<0.001) and QoL (RR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.24-1.33, P<0.001). Moreover, the combination treatment reduced chemotherapy-induced leukopenia (RR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.64-0.75, P<0.001), anemia (RR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.62-0.79, P<0.001), thrombocytopenia (RR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.62-0.75, P<0.001), nausea and vomiting (RR=0.69, 95% CI: 0.63-0.76, P<0.001), diarrhea (RR=0.59, 95% CI: 0.48-0.73, P<0.001), and constipation (RR=0.68, 95% CI: 0.54-0.86, P=0.001). Conclusion According to the available evidence, CHIs in combination with PBC can improve clinical efficacy and reduce the toxic side effects in the treatment of advanced NSCLC. However, considering the study's limitations, more rigorous and high-quality studies are needed to further confirm the results.

Abstract
AIMS The short-term mortality of heart failure (HF) patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) is reported to be high. This study aims to explore the association between white blood cell-to-haemoglobin ratio (WHR) and 30 day mortality from the admission to the ICU. METHODS AND RESULTS This retrospective cohort study was performed based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database (2001-12) and MIMIC-IV database (2008-19). Covariables were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression. Based on the optimal cutoff point selected using the survminer package, WHR was divided into high-ratio group (≥1.6) and low-ratio group (<1.6). The association between WHR and the risk of 30 day mortality was explored using univariate and multivariable Cox regression models. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the prediction performance of WHR. A total of 13 702 patients were included. After adjusting the potential covariates, high WHR was associated with a greater risk of 30 day mortality compared with low WHR [hazard ratio = 1.16, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-1.27, P < 0.001]. WHR also showed a good performance for the prediction of risk of 30 day mortality (AUC = 0.751, 95% CI: 0.746-0.756). CONCLUSIONS WHR was positively associated with and performed well to predict 30 day mortality, indicating that WHR may be a reliable index to assess the prognosis of HF patients admitted to the ICU.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS), which is the third foremost cause of disability and death worldwide, has inflammation and cell death as its main pathological features. IS can lead to neuronal cell death and release factors such as damage-related molecular patterns, stimulating the immune system to release inflammatory mediators, thereby resulting in inflammation and exacerbating brain damage. Currently, there are a limited number of treatment methods for IS, which is a fact necessitating the discovery of new treatment targets. For this review, current research on inflammation and cell death in ischemic stroke was summarized. The complex roles and pathways of the principal immune cells (microglia, astrocyte, neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and monocytes/macrophage) in the immune system after IS in inflammation are discussed. The mechanisms of immune cell interactions and the cytokines involved in these interactions are summarized. Moreover, the cell death mechanisms (pyroptosis, apoptosis, necroptosis, PANoptosis, and ferroptosis) and pathways after IS are explored. Finally, a summary is provided of the mechanism of action of natural pharmacological active ingredients in the treatment of IS. Despite significant recent progress in research on IS, there remain many challenges that need to be overcome.

Abstract
Background: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a major complication of stroke that affects more than one-third of stroke survivors, threatening their quality of life and increasing the risk of disability and death. Although various studies have described the etiology, epidemiology, and risk factors of PSCI, there are a limited number of comprehensive and accurate reports on research trends and hotspots in this field. Therefore, this review aimed to evaluate research trends, hotspots, and frontiers in PSCI using bibliometric analysis. Methods: We screened the literature spanning 20 years in the Web of Science Core Collection: Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) database from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2022. We included all eligible literature reports based on our comprehensive search strategy, inclusion criteria, and exclusion criteria. The analysis of annual publications, countries/regions, institutions, journals, co-cited references, and keywords was conducted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, and the hotspots and major findings of PSCI were summarized. Results: A total of 1,024 publications were included in this review. We found that the number of publications on PSCI increased annually. These publications were published in 75 countries or regions by over 400 institutions. Although Chinese institutions had the highest number of publications, their international influence was limited. The United States showed a strong influence in the field. The journal "Stroke" published the most publications (57) with a high impact factor and was considered the most co-cited journal. The most frequently cited references focused on the prevalence, incidence, neuropsychological assessment scales, criteria, and guidelines of PSCI. The strongest citation burst keywords for PSCI were "neurotrophic factor" and "synaptic plasticity", which were regarded as research focuses and research hotspots, respectively. Conclusion: This review provided a comprehensive summary of the literature of PSCI, identified the authoritative and frequently cited literature and journals, clarified the trends in PSCI research, and highlighted the hotspots in this field. Currently, studies on the mechanisms and treatment of PSCI are limited, and we hope that this review has effectively highlighted the research trajectory of PSCI and will lay the foundation for more innovative research in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. We aimed to explore the gender-related association between nine indexes (BMI/WC/VAI/LAP/WHtR/TyG/TyG-BMI/TyG-WC/TyG-WHtR) and MAFLD/NAFLD and examine their diagnostic utility for these conditions. METHODS Eligible participants were screened from the 2017-2018 cycle data of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess the predictive performance of 9 indexes for MAFLD/NAFLD. RESULTS Among the 809 eligible individuals, 478 had MAFLD and 499 had NAFLD. After adjusting for gender, age, ethnicity, FIPR and education level, positive associations with the risk of MAFLD/NAFLD were found for all the nine indexes. For female, TyG-WHtR presented the best performance in identifying MAFLD/NAFLD, with AUC of 0.845 (95% CI = 0.806-0.879) and 0.831 (95% CI = 0.791-0.867) respectively. For male, TyG-WC presented the best performance in identifying MAFLD/NAFLD, with AUC of 0.900 (95% CI = 0.867-0.927) and 0.855 (95% CI = 0.817-0.888) respectively. CONCLUSION BMI/WC/VAI/LAP/WHtR/TyG/TyG-BMI/TyG-WC/TyG-WHtR are important indexes to identify the risk of MAFLD and NAFLD.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic recurrent intestinal disease. The incidence rate of IBD is increasing year by year, which seriously endangers human health worldwide. More and more studies have shown that medicinal plants or their main phytochemicals have great potential in the treatment of intestinal diseases. However, the disadvantages of low oral absorption rate, low biological distribution and low systemic bioavailability limit their clinical application to a certain extent. In recent years, the application of nanotechnology has made it possible to treat IBD. Nanoparticles (NPs) drug delivery system has attracted special attention in the treatment of IBD due to its small size, low immunogenicity, surface modification diversity, targeting and other advantages. Synthetic nanoparticles and extracellular vehicles (EVs) can deliver drug components to colon, and play a role in anti-inflammation, regulation of oxidative stress, improvement of intestinal flora, etc. In addition, some medicinal plants can secrete EVs by themselves, and carry biological molecules with therapeutic effects to act on the intestine. Some clinical trials to evaluate the safety, tolerance, toxicity and effectiveness of EVs-loaded drugs in IBD are also progressing steadily. This review introduces that synthetic nanoparticles and medicinal plants derived EVs can play an important role in the treatment of IBD by carrying the effective active phytochemicals of medicinal plants, and discuss the limitations of current research and future research needs, providing a scientific and reliable basis and perspective for further clinical application and promotion.

Abstract
Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting females more than males. Clinical symptoms, disease activity and comorbidities are more severe in females. Moreover, the choice of treatment for females is limited during childbearing age due to the side effects of current drugs. Therefore, developing novel and safer drugs for females is urgently needed. Kunbixiao granules (KBXG), a Chinese medicine formula, has been applied to treat female RA patients in our center as a complementary therapy. However, there is insufficient evidence for its effect. Therefore, we aim to conduct a randomized, controlled, double-blind clinical trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of KBXG for the treatment of female RA. Methods: This study is a single-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled clinical trial. A total of 90 female RA patients with Disease Activity Score for 28 joints (DAS28) > 3.2 will be enrolled. They will be randomly assigned to receive either KBXG or placebo for 12 weeks. The change in DAS28 based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) and the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) are the primary outcomes. The secondary outcomes include a rate of achieving 20%, 50% and 70% improvement in the American College Rheumatology criteria (ACR20, ACR50, ACR70), TCM syndrome score, visual analogue scale (VAS), average hands grip strength, the consumption of concomitant medication, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), lumbar spine bone mineral density (L-BMD) and 7-joint ultrasound score (US7). Any adverse events will also be recorded. Discussion: This trial will provide evidence of KBXG in reducing disease activity, and improving clinical symptoms and quality of life of female RA patients. The long-term effects of KBXG on female RA patients still needs a further follow-up.

Abstract
Background Currently, gastric cancer (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) are the most common causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Gut microbiota is closely related to the occurrence of GC and CRC and the efficacy of chemotherapy. This study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of herbal formulas with the function of gut microbiota regulation (HFGMR) in the treatment of GC and CRC and to assess the quality of the synthesized evidence. Methods A comprehensive search was performed on eight electronic databases, PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, Web of Science, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, Chinese Scientific Journals Database, and two registries, Chinese Clinical Trial Registry and ClinicalTrials.gov, from their initiation to January 2022. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) studying the therapeutic effects of HFGMR were included. We used Stata 16 for data synthesis and Risk of Bias 2 (RoB 2) for methodological quality evaluation and assessed the quality of the synthesized evidence in the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach. Results Fifty-three RCTs involving 4,478 patients were included. These trials involve seven herbal formulas that could regulate the gut microbiota of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Escherichia coli, Bacteroides, and Enterococcus faecalis. The meta-analysis results were subgrouped to three different stages in GC and CRC. 1) For the perioperative stage, HFGMR combined with conventional therapy could shorten the time to bowel sound recovery by 1.63 h [mean difference (MD) = -1.63, 95% confidence interval (CI) (-2.62, -0.65)], the time to first flatus by 9.69 h [MD = -9.69, 95% CI (-10.89, -8.48)], and the duration of hospitalization by 2.91 days [MD = -2.91, 95% CI (-4.01, -1.80)] in GC. There were no significant differences in outcomes of gastrointestinal function recovery and adverse events in CRC. 2) For postoperative patients, combined with adjuvant chemotherapy, HFGMR could decrease the incidence of diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, anorexia, and peripheral neurotoxicity in GC; boost Karnofsky performance status (KPS) improvement rate [risk ratio (RR) = 1.96, 95% CI (1.38, 2.79)]; and decrease the incidence of leucopenia and nausea and vomiting in CRC. 3) For advanced stage, HFGMR can significantly improve the objective response rate (ORR) [RR = 1.35, 95% CI (1.19~1.53)], disease control rate (DCR) [RR = 1.14, 95% CI (1.05~1.23)], and KPS improvement rate [RR = 1.56, 95% CI (1.17, 2.09)] and decrease the incidence of leucopenia, neutropenia, anemia, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue in GC. There were no significant differences in ORR [RR = 1.32, 95% CI (0.94~1.86)] and DCR [RR = 1.22, 95% CI (0.99~1.50)], but they can improve the KPS response rate [RR = 1.62, 95% CI (1.13, 2.32)] and decrease the incidence of myelosuppression, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, and hepatic and renal dysfunction in CRC. Conclusion This study indicates that herbal formulas that could regulate the composition and proportion of gut microbiota have a positive effect in three stages (perioperative, postoperative, and advanced) of GC and CRC. They could promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, increase tumor response, improve performance status, and reduce the incidence of adverse events. Herbal formulas exerted anti-cancer efficacy through multiple mechanisms and pathways; among them, the regulation of gut microbiota has not been paid enough attention. To further support the conclusion and better understand the role of gut microbiota in the treatment of GC and CRC, more rigorously designed, large-scale, and multicenter RCTs that focus on herbal formulas and gut microbiota are needed in the future.

Abstract
We characterized the first NDM-5 and MCR-8.2 co-harboring ST656 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolate, combining with chromosomal gene-mediated resistance to colistin and tigecycline. The K. pneumoniae KP32558 was isolated from the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from a lung transplant patient. Complete genome sequences were obtained through Illumina HiSeq sequencing and nanopore sequencing. The acquired resistance genes and mutations in chromosome-encoded genes associated with colistin and tigecycline resistance were analyzed. Comparative genomic analysis was conducted between mcr-8.2-carrying plasmids. The K. pneumoniae KP32558 was identified as a pan-drug resistant bacteria, belonging to ST656, and harbored plasmid-encoded blaNDM-5 and mcr-8.2 genes. The blaNDM-5 gene was located on an IncX3 type plasmid. The mcr-8.2 gene was located on a conjugative plasmid pKP32558-2-mcr8, which had a common ancestor with another two mcr-8.2-carrying plasmids pMCR8_020135 and pMCR8_095845. The MIC of KP32558 for colistin was 256 mg/L. The mcr-8.2 gene and mutations in the two-component system, pmrA and crrB, and the regulator mgrB, had a synergistic effect on the high-level colistin resistance. The truncation in the acrR gene, related to tigecycline resistance, was also identified. K. pneumoniae has evolved a variety of complex resistance mechanisms to the last-resort antimicrobials, close surveillance is urgently needed to monitor the prevalence of this clone.

Abstract
Background:Panax notoginseng saponins (PNS) may have an inhibitory effect against coronary artery disease (CAD); however, the mechanism is unclear. Recent research has begun to evaluate the role of epigenetics in CAD. Our team found that hypomethylation of miR-194 could be an important mechanism of CAD. Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of PNS against CAD and evaluate whether the mechanism is related to methylation of mi-R194. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled trial with a double-blind placebo design on 84 patients with CAD. Treatment was continued for 4 weeks, and the clinical effect of PNS on CAD was observed. Methylation of miR-194, its promoter, and the key nodes of the MAPK pathway were measured by pyrosequencing and qRT-PCR. We then conducted a pharmacological analysis of the active components of PNS. The effects of PNS on oxidized human umbilical vein endothelial cells and the methylation of miR-194, its promoter, and the key nodes of the MAPK pathway were measured in vitro through methylation-specific PCR (MSPCR), qRT-PCR, Western blot analysis, and annexin V/propidium iodide apoptosis assay. Results: PNS improved symptoms of CAD. High-density lipoprotein and white blood cell count demonstrated significant changes after treatment in the PNS group. No significant difference was observed between miR-194 and mRNA MAPK, FAS, RAS, and FOS in the PNS group after treatment. However, some notable trends were observed in these genes. The targets of PNS were predicted by the pharmacological components. Some targets were found to be differentially expressed genes in CAD sequencing. Six genes, including MAPK1, RAS, and FASL, were common targets of PNS in CAD sequencing. Correlations were observed between genes in the interaction network and clinical parameters. In vitro experiments confirmed that PNS could change the methylation of miR-194, its promoter, and MAPK, FAS, RAS, and FOS. Intervention with PNS is likely to improve apoptosis. Conclusion: We reported the regulation of miR-194 promoter, miR-194, and MAPK methylation by PNS through cell experiments and a randomized controlled trial. PNS can be used for intervention in CAD by targeting the miR-194 promoter-miR-194-MAPK signaling pathway. Clinical Trial Registration: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/, NCT03083119.

Abstract
Polygonati rhizoma (Huangjing in Chinese) is a traditional and classic dual-purpose material used in food and medicine. Herbalists in China and Japan have noticed several different rhizome types in Huangjing with different qualities. Rhizome of Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua and P. sibiricum Red. is divided into five types: "Jitou-type" Polygonati rhizoma (JTPR), atypical "Jitou-type" Polygonati rhizoma (AJTPR), "Jiang-type" Polygonati rhizoma (JPR), "Cylinder-type" Polygonati rhizoma (CPR), and "Baiji-type" Polygonati rhizoma (BJPR). This study observed the microstructure and histochemical localization of polysaccharides, saponins, and proteins in Huangjing. Nutritional and medicinal component data and antioxidant capacity (DPPH and ABTS) were analyzed to evaluate the quality of different types of Huangjing. The results showed that the comprehensive quality of the rhizomes, BJPR and JTPR, was better, regardless of their nutritional or medicinal values. Altogether, these results could recommend future breeding efforts to produce Huangjing with improved nutritional and medicinal qualities.

Abstract
In the Atractylodes lancea (A. lancea)-maize intercropping system, maize can promote the growth of A. lancea, but it is unclear whether this constitutes an aboveground or belowground process. In this study, we investigated the mechanisms of the root system interaction between A. lancea and maize using three different barrier conditions: no barrier (AI), nylon barrier (AN), and plastic barrier (AP) systems. The biomass, volatile oil concentration, physicochemical properties of the soil, and rhizosphere microorganisms of the A. lancea plant were determined. The results showed that (1) the A. lancea - maize intercropping system could promote the growth of A. lancea and its accumulation of volatile oils; (2) a comparison of the CK, AI, and AP treatments revealed that it was the above-ground effect of maize specifically that promoted the accumulation of both atractylon and atractylodin within the volatile oils of A. lancea, but inhibited the accumulation of hinesol and β-eudesmol; (3) in comparing the soil physicochemical properties of each treatment group, intercropping maize acidified the root soil of A. lancea, changed its root soil physicochemical properties, and increased the abundance of the acidic rhizosphere microbes of A. lancea at the phylum level; (4) in an analysis of rhizosphere microbial communities of A. lancea under different barrier systems, intercropping was found to promote plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enrichment, including Streptomyces, Bradyrhizobium, Candidatus Solibacter, Gemmatirosa, and Pseudolabrys, and the biomass of A. lancea was significantly influenced by PGPR. In summary, we found that the rhizosphere soil of A. lancea was acidified in intercropping with maize, causing the accumulation of PGPR, which was beneficial to the growth of A. lancea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare disorder of abnormal production or modification of type I collagen, which is caused by mutations in COL1A1, COL1A2 or other genes. We investigate the cardiac abnormalities and its correlation with pathogenic mutations in OI children. METHODS A cross-sectional comparative study was completed in a relatively large sample of OI children, who were matched in body surface area (BSA) with healthy controls. All echocardiography was performed by experienced cardiologists using Vivid 7 equipment (GE Medical Systems, Horton, Norway). The resting standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) were obtained in OI patients by FX-8600 machine. Skeletal phenotypes of OI patients were evaluated, including information of bone fractures, deformities, motility, and bone mineral density (BMD). Pathogenic mutations of OI were detected by a next-generation sequencing panel and confirmed by Sanger sequencing. RESULTS A total of 69 OI children and 42 healthy children matched in BSA were enrolled. Abnormalities of echocardiography were found in 6 OI children, including enlarged left atrium (n=5), increased internal diameter of the left ventricle (n=1), who all carried the COL1A1 mutation. Mild regurgitation of mitral or tricuspid valves was observed in 26 OI patients. Abnormal ECG manifestations were found in 8 OI children, including deep Q wave, T wave change, premature ventricular complexes, short P-R interval, incomplete bundle branch block and high voltage of left ventricular. Compared with healthy controls, OI children had significant larger values in the main pulmonary artery (1.84 vs 1.60 cm, P < 0.01), left atrial diameter (2.58 vs 2.11 cm, P < 0.001), left ventricular internal dimension at end-diastolic (LVEDd) (3.85 vs 3.50 cm, P < 0.05) and lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (68.40% vs 71.74%, P < 0.01). Moreover, OI patients with COL1A1 mutation tended to have greater main pulmonary artery, larger diameters of left atrial and LVEDd, and lower LVEF than healthy controls. COL1A1 mutation was correlated to dilated MPA (β = 1.557, P < 0.01), LAD (β = 3.915, P < 0.001), and LVEDd (β = 2.714, P < 0.01), and decreased LVEF (β = -3.249, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Cardiovascular alterations were identified in OI children, including increased dimensions of the main pulmonary artery and left chamber, and low LVEF. The cardiovascular abnormalities seemed to be correlated to COL1A1 mutation and defects of type I collagen, which expanded our understandings of the cardiac phenotypes of OI children.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play crucial roles nearly in all aspects of plant biology, including stress responses, development and growth, and regulation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis. The molecular functions of HDACs have been explored in depth in Arabidopsis thaliana, while little research has been reported in the medicinal plant Cannabis sativa L. Here, we excavated 14 CsHDAC genes of C. sativa L that were divided into three relatively conserved subfamilies, including RPD3/HDA1 (10 genes), SIR2 (2 genes), and HD2 (2 genes). Genes associated with the biosynthesis of bioactive constituents were identified by combining the distribution of cannabinoids with the expression pattern of HDAC genes in various organs. Using qRT-PCR and transcription group analysis, we verified the expression of candidate genes in different tissues. We found that the histone inhibitor Trichostatin A (TSA) affected the expression of key genes in the cannabinoid metabolism pathway and the accumulation of synthetic precursors, which indirectly indicates that histone inhibitor may regulate the synthesis of active substances in C. sativa L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus, especially type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is regarded as highly heterogeneous. Novel diabetes phenotypes by cluster analysis have been proposed in Europeans but may show different cluster features in Asians. The applicability of cluster analysis in middle-aged and elderly Chinese community T2DM patients needs further investigation. METHODS Participants were recruited from Jiading community in Shanghai, China. We adopted k-means cluster analysis in 1130 patients (aged ≥ 40 years) with newly-diagnosed T2DM at baseline. Cluster analysis was performed based on seven variables, including fasting plasma glucose, 2 hours postprandial blood glucose, age at diagnosis, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c, homoeostatic model assessment estimates of β-cell function and insulin resistance. All subjects were re-examined at 4.4 years later. Metabolic associated fatty liver disease was diagnosed using B-ultrasound, hepatic fibrosis by non-invasive scores, renal and cardiovascular status by subclinical biomarkers. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to compare the risks of complications between clusters. RESULTS Patients were classified into 4 clusters. 381 (33.7%), 456 (40.4%), 87 (7.7%), and 206 (18.2%) patients were separately assigned to mild age-related diabetes (MARD), mild obesity-related diabetes (MOD), severe insulin-deficient and insulin-resistant diabetes (SIDRD), or severe obesity-related and insulin-resistant diabetes (SOIRD), respectively. Participants in MARD, SOIRD, and SIDRD clusters were associated with significantly increased risks of different complications. SOIRD and SIDRD showed novel features in Chinese T2DM patients that were different from those in Europeans. CONCLUSIONS The refined diabetes phenotypic approach was applicable to Chinese middle-aged and elderly T2DM patients. Patients in different clusters presented significantly different characteristics, progression of metabolic features, and risks of diabetic complications.
