"We are grateful to the editors and reviewers for their insightful comments, which have significantly improved this manuscript. This case report highlights the importance of considering ectopic adrenal adenoma in the differential diagnosis of hepatic masses, particularly when conventional imaging features overlap with hepatocellular carcinoma. Our experience underscores the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach—integrating clinical history, multi-modality imaging, hormonal evaluations, and histopathological confirmation—to avoid misdiagnosis of rare ectopic tumors. We hope this report raises awareness among clinicians about the potential pitfalls in diagnosing hepatic lesions and encourages a broader differential diagnosis that includes embryologically derived ectopic tissues. Special thanks to our institutional support and colleagues who contributed to the management of this patient. We believe this case will serve as a valuable reference for improving diagnostic accuracy in similar clinical scenarios. " [Collapse]

"The ethical approval meets requirements. The data obtained from the CCORD/ACCORDION trials (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00000620). The methods are effective and can be repeated by fellow researchers. The inclusion and exclusion criteria are clear. The authors conducted a study of 10251 participants aged 40-79 years diagnosed T2DM who were followed up for nearly 10 years to investigate the association of METS-IR with incidence of adverse cardiovascular (CVD) events. The main results and tables of this study are authentic, reliable and validate the initial hypothesis. By using the Cox proportional hazards models, restricted cubic spline, stratified subgroup analyses, and C-statistic analyses, the positive association of METS-IR with incidence of adverse CVD events and enhanced risk assessment and prediction of CVD events by adding METS-IR were observed. The statistical analyses were correct. The graphs and figures were constructed and annotated well. One suggestion and confusion should be noted. (1) Suggestion: MACEs, CVD mortality and other outcomes should not be presented in the Table 1. (2) Confusion: In the Data collection and outcomes section, the MACEs was defined as a composite of cardiovascular mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non-fatal stroke. So, I assumed that the number of MACEs should be equal to the sum of CVD mortality, non-fatal MI, and non-fatal stroke. However, in the Table 1, the number of MACEs was less than the sum of them. The authors should explain this. Authors have cited key references to support the pathophysiological mechanisms and prior epidemiological relationship, as well as the recent references. The language is generally clear, concise, and logically structed. One mistake should be written. The sentence “Further studies have indicated that biological aging the effects of METS-IR on all-cause and CVD mortality” is not fluent." [Collapse]

"This review explores the possible role of SARS-CoV-2 infection in the development of malignant neoplasms of the gastrointestinal system. The proposed mechanisms, as is the case in almost all types of malignant neoplasms, are related to chronic inflammatory processes, disturbances in cellular homeostasis, and possibly the integration of the virus into host cells. The significance of these observations is obvious, since if they are proven to be true, measures will need to be taken to systematically monitor patients who have contracted SARS-CoV-2. In their very interesting review, the authors also present some thoughts on the reliability of published studies linking SARS-CoV-2 infection with the development of digestive cancer. I would like to add one more doubt. Medical students learn that cancer is a multistage process with multiple causes on the one hand and a time-consuming process on the other. I am struck by the fact that the scientific community almost immediately adopts clinical or experimental evidence of carcinogenesis from a particular cause despite the generally accepted views I mentioned above. In any case, this subject is an extremely interesting subject worth consideration. I believe that in the near future, a number of epidemiological and basic research studies should be conducted to better understand whether this virus is really oncogenic and to further clarify possible mechanisms of carcinogenesis."

While TyG has been studied, TyG-BMI is a relatively novel marker, and this research adds unique insights into its predictive role for cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. Authors reported that that TyG-BMI improved discriminative performance beyond TyG or BMI alone and it provided important evidence for clinical risk stratification." [Collapse]

"The use of an RCT design is the gold standard for evaluating therapeutic interventions. Randomization minimizes allocation bias and balances potential confounders between groups, thereby strengthening internal validity. This is particularly valuable in DFU research, where outcomes are strongly influenced by multiple factors (glycemic control, vascular status, infection history). DFUs are a leading cause of hospitalization, morbidity, and amputation in diabetes. Exploring a low-cost, safe, and easily accessible adjunct therapy like vitamin D addresses an urgent unmet clinical need. The supplementation strategy (2000 IU cholecalciferol daily) is practical, inexpensive, and feasible to implement in most healthcare systems, enhancing translational impact. Authors didn't limit themselves to only wound size reduction but evaluated multiple endpoints such as infection incidence and severity (clinically meaningful, patient-centered outcomes) as primary outcomes and wound healing rate, serum vitamin D levels, immune biomarkers (cathelicidin, IL-6, TNF-α), and safety monitoring as secondary outcomes. This multidimensional approach allowed the authors to connect clinical outcomes with mechanistic pathways, thereby strengthening biological plausibility. Reduced infection rate, promoted wound healing, and strengthened immune responses in patients with DFUs are reported after vitamin D supplementation. " [Collapse]

"Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a global health burden, and lifestyle interventions remain foundational. The focus on meal replacements (MRs) addressed an area of growing clinical and research interest, particularly in weight and glycemic control. Authors aimed to provide a comprehensive scoping review, not only summarizing evidence on outcomes but also classifying meal replacement types, dosages, and adverse effects. This approach is clinically useful, as different formulations (low-calorie, diabetes-specific, protein-rich, etc.) may have different impacts. Large initial dataset (53,922 studies) screened down to 133 eligible studies, showing thoroughness. Categorization of interventions provides practical insights for clinicians. Both benefits (HbA1c reduction, weight loss, BMI changes) and risks (adverse events, tolerability) were reported in the systematic review. Authors concluded that most adverse events were mild (constipation being most frequent) is reassuring for safety considerations." [Collapse]

"The study by Ding et al., “TSC22D1 promotes liver sinusoidal endothelial cell dysfunction and induces macrophage M1 polarization in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease,” investigates the role of TSC22D1 in NAFLD, demonstrating its involvement in endothelial dysfunction and macrophage M1 polarization, key factors in disease progression. The authors successfully address the molecular mechanisms underlying NAFLD, providing insights into potential therapeutic targets. However, the study is limited by its in vitro design and does not explore the clinical implications or validate findings in human subjects. Future research should include in vivo studies and clinical investigations to assess the therapeutic potential of targeting TSC22D1. Overall, the study offers significant mechanistic insights that advance the understanding of NAFLD while highlighting directions for future translational research. " [Collapse]

"The article by Li and Zhai, “Insights into a machine learning-based prediction model for colorectal polyp recurrence after endoscopic mucosal resection,” presents a machine learning model designed to predict colorectal polyp recurrence following EMR using clinical and pathological data. The study successfully addresses the need for individualized risk assessment, offering potential improvements over traditional prediction methods. However, its retrospective design limits causal inference, and the model’s generalizability to diverse populations remains untested. Future work should include prospective multicenter validation, integration of additional predictive variables such as genetic markers, and incorporation into clinical decision support systems. Overall, the study provides a valuable foundation for advancing predictive tools in gastroenterology, though further validation is needed to confirm its clinical utility. " [Collapse]

"The article by Zhang et al., “Age- and gender-specific dynamics and next-generation reference intervals for pepsinogen in northern China,” provides updated reference intervals for pepsinogen levels, accounting for age and gender in a northern Chinese population. The study successfully addresses the need for region-specific reference data, offering a comprehensive dataset that can improve the interpretation of pepsinogen in clinical practice. However, it does not explore the direct clinical implications of these findings or establish causative links between pepsinogen levels and gastric diseases. Future research should include prospective studies to assess clinical outcomes, integrate the reference intervals into decision support systems, and validate them in diverse populations. Overall, the study contributes valuable foundational data to gastroenterology, while further work is needed to fully translate these results into clinical practice. " [Collapse]
