Impact of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease on the cholesterol efflux capacity of high-density lipoproteins in adolescents with type 2 diabetes by José Antonio Orozco Morales, José Antonio Orozco Morales, Aída Xochitl Medina Urrutia, Margarita Torres Tamayo, Margarita Torres Tamayo, Juan Reyes Barrera, Esteban Jorge Galarza, Juan Gabriel Juárez Rojas, Pilar Dies Suarez, Nahum Méndez Sánchez, Nahum Méndez Sánchez, Luis Enrique Díaz Orozco, Luis Enrique Díaz Orozco, Lubia Velázquez-López, Patricia Medina Bravo, Patricia Medina Bravo

“…In the population with DM2 and MAFLD, we did not observe a decrease in CEC. Initially we found a slight elevation of CEC in adolescents with DM2, however, with the increase in liver fat, a little decrease is observed, which could explain a probable metabolic phenomenon, since the physicochemical composition and distribution of the particles is associated with the percentage of liver fat. …”

From Imbalance to Synergy: The Coupling Coordination of Digital Inclusive Finance and Urban Ecological Resilience in the Yangtze River Economic Belt by Xi Chen, Xuan Huang, Tonghui Yu, Yu Zhang, Xufeng Cui

“…The results show that (1) The CCD between DIF and UER in the YREB has increased annually from 2011 to 2020. However, there are persistent imbalances, with an overall low level of coordination and uneven spatial development, and a trend of “higher coordination in the east and lower coordination in the west”. (2) The overall CCD of the YREB has reached at least the primary coordination level, with the coupling enhancement speed ranked as “downstream > midstream > upstream”, and regional differences decreasing. (3) The decoupling analysis reveals a predominant decoupling trend between DIF and UER, indicating that the digitization of financial services has not concurrently increased ecological pressures. (4) The obstacle degree analysis identifies resilience and digitalization as major barriers hindering CCD. …”
