Studies have shown that PD-L1 may affect the sugar metabolism of tumor cells. Therefore, <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT can be used to predict the expression of PD-L1 and evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy. This article mainly introduces the relationship between PD-L1 expression and NSCLC, the advantages of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT, the imaging mechanism of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT based on PD-L1 and its research progress in NSCLC, and the role of <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET/CT in the response and efficacy evaluation of immunotherapy in NSCLC, aiming to provide a reference for the clinic.展开更多

Methods: A total of 359 elderly male patients with type II diabetes hospitalized in the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively collected. According to the BMD (Bone Density Value), the patients were categorized into osteoporotic (T ≤ -2.5, n = 248) and non-osteoporotic groups (T > -2.5, n = 111). T test and Chi-square test were used to evaluate the differences in clinical data, biochemical markers and ABI between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of osteoporosis in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: Compared with the non-osteoporotic group, the differences in diabetes course, systolic blood pressure, ABI, BMI, uric acid, triglyceride, and HDL in the osteoporotic group were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that lower extremity vascular sclerosis was an independent risk factor for osteoporosis in elderly men with type 2 diabetes mellitus (P Conclusion: Atherosclerosis of the lower extremities in elderly men with T2DM is closely related to osteoporosis, and can lead to a decrease in bone mass, and an increase in osteoporosis.展开更多
