Traditionally, chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been regarded as a progressive, irreversible condition, with treatment goals limited to slowing its progression to end-stage renal disease. However, the emergence of a series of novel therapies in recent years has fundamentally changed this pessimistic narrative. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, […]
Study Suggests: Drinking Coffee in the Morning Is More Beneficial to Health
Numerous prospective studies consistently show that moderate coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. For this reason, coffee was included in the 2015–2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans as an important component of a healthy dietary pattern.

Professor Chen Yanming: Metabolic Damage Dominates Early-Stage Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the leading causes of blindness among the working-age population worldwide. Traditionally regarded as a typical microvascular disease, a growing body of research clearly demonstrates that retinal metabolic damage is not a passive accompaniment but a causal origin driving neurovascular destruction.At the 27th Annual Conference of the Chinese Society of […]
Tiptozumab N01 Injection: TED Treatment Enters the Era of Precision Targeting
Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease closely associated with thyroid disorders. Patients face not only the risks of exophthalmos, diplopia, eye pain, vision loss and even blindness, but also psychological problems such as anxiety and social barriers caused by facial changes. Traditional treatments have limited efficacy or side effect risks, creating an […]
