"MIZ ameliorates diabetes-induced kidney injury by inhibiting inflammation and oxidative stress. High glucose increased the expression of SGLT1, LDH, TNF-α/β, and IL-1β and the levels of SOD and MDA and decreased the levels of GAT and GSH-PX. MIZ treatment reduced the protein expression of SGLT1, which decreased glucose reabsorption under high-glucose conditions. Decreased cellular glucose can normalize glucose metabolism and thus reverse LDH expression and ROS generation. It would be more clear if mitochondrial functions were measured." [Collapse]

"The case report you provided, titled "Transient extreme insulin resistance in a critically ill patient: A case report," is well-structured and comprehensively addresses the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of a rare condition—extreme insulin resistance (EIR)—in a critically ill patient. Below is a review of its key aspects: Strengths 1. The report highlights a unique case of transient extreme insulin resistance, a rare but critical condition, contributing valuable insights to clinical literature. 2. The case is presented logically, from the patient's background and clinical findings to treatment and outcomes, making it easy to follow. 3. The discussion explores the multifaceted mechanisms of insulin resistance, referencing relevant literature and previous case reports for comparison. 4. The report provides an in-depth description of the management strategy, including high-dose insulin infusion and adjustments to mitigate fluid overload, which may guide clinicians facing similar cases. 5. Including insulin infusion rates, glucose levels, and laboratory findings enhances clarity and aids in understanding the dynamic nature of EIR in this case. Areas for Improvement 1. While the case is rare, the novelty could be better emphasized by discussing potential implications for future research or clinical guidelines. 2. The discussion could explore more recent hypotheses or experimental findings regarding the pathophysiology of transient EIR. 3. Although hypoglycemia episodes are mentioned, a detailed discussion of their prevention and management strategies would enhance their clinical applicability. 4. The language is clear but could be more concise in some sections, particularly in the discussion, to improve readability. 5. The case ends with the patient’s unfortunate death from recurrent sepsis. It might benefit from a more detailed reflection on the challenges of preventing such outcomes, potentially linking it to broader issues in critical care. " [Collapse]

"Mizagliflozin (MIZ) shows promise as a treatment for diabetic nephropathy (DN) by reducing renal damage, oxidative stress, and inflammation. It lowers extracellular matrix synthesis and glucose intake in mesangial cells (MCs) under high glucose conditions while improving glycemic control and mesangial expansion in diabetic mice. As an SGLT1 inhibitor, MIZ may mitigate DN progression by targeting inflammation and oxidative stress, key mechanisms in DN pathology. These findings suggest MIZ as a potential therapeutic strategy, warranting further exploration of its clinical implications." [Collapse]

"eer Review: The article underwent a single-blind peer review process, which is common but may not be the most rigorous model for eliminating bias. It was externally peer-reviewed, providing a degree of objectivity in evaluating the work. Key Points: Strengths: Addresses an important clinical question: the influence of time between meniscal injury and repair on outcomes, which is underexplored in existing literature. Utilizes a systematic review methodology following PRISMA guidelines, enhancing transparency. Includes a wide range of studies (1995–2023), capturing a historical view of available data. Provides evidence for clinicians that decision-making based on the injury interval alone may not be justified. Limitations: The mixed quality of evidence and limited number of studies (only 5 met inclusion criteria) reduce the robustness of findings. Results were inconsistent across studies, limiting definitive conclusions. No prospective randomized studies were included; most studies were retrospective, introducing a potential for bias. Inconsistent outcome measures across included studies made synthesis challenging. Confounding variables such as age, type of tear, and associated injuries were not fully accounted for. Conclusion: The article provides useful insights but does not establish a strong association between the time interval and postoperative outcomes for isolated meniscus repairs. While it is novel in addressing this specific clinical question, the mixed quality of evidence and lack of consensus in the findings limit its impact. Further prospective research is recommended to better inform clinical decision-making." [Collapse]

"Peer Review: The article underwent a single-blind peer review, which is a standard but not the most robust review model for ensuring unbiased quality control. It was externally peer-reviewed, ensuring that reviewers were not from the same institution as the authors. Key Points: Strengths: Provides insights from a 13-year review of internal hernia cases, a rare but clinically important condition. Highlights the importance of CECT in the diagnosis of internal hernias, adding value for clinical practice. Discusses both congenital and acquired internal hernias, increasing its scope. Limitations: Scientific significance and novelty are rated low, indicating that the findings may not add substantial new knowledge or change clinical practice significantly. The grade C rating across categories suggests moderate quality and limited impact in terms of innovation or breakthroughs. The study involves only seven patients diagnosed with internal hernias out of 586, which may limit the generalizability of its findings. Processing Time: The article took 310 days to publish after submission, indicating a thorough review and revision process. Conclusion: While the article has clinical relevance in understanding internal hernias and their management, its scientific quality and innovation are modest. It is useful for clinicians dealing with rare causes of small bowel obstruction but may not be groundbreaking in advancing the field of surgical gastroenterology." [Collapse]

The overall quality of the article if fair.

"The author did not provide an ethical approval form. This was not experimental method; this was a review article which had no any hypothesis. This review aimed at providing insight into the dynamic nature of HIV-related GI illnesses and the critical role that contemporary diagnostic and treatment approaches play in the management of this condition. Therefore, the author would have included HIV diagnosis, management in their search terms. The results are true and authentic according to the literatures. Moreover, the tables are perfect since are clearly constructed, although the figures are confusing and missing some diagnostic items for example figure number 2 in a HIV patient who has chronic diarrhea, author could have mentioned the stool test and add more blood tests which might identify viral diseases. This was the review article and the meta-analysis was not done which could bring the high level significance of this article. Therefore, the biostatistics was done. The author scientifically and reasonably cites the latest references which are important in this field and related to the scientific problems. The language in this article is correctly, clearly and concisely that expresses the information. Doing review alone is the major drawback of this article. The overall quality of the article if good, the author did not resolve the issue of burden of GI diseases among HIV patients. In conclusion, in the future, the author could conduct systematic review and meta-analysis research, which would contribute in raising the reader’s interest, and will promote discipline development."
