Objective:To assess the levels and abnormal rates of trace elements and vitamins among older patients in Beijing Hospital, and to analyze the correlations between these measured indicators.Methods:This study selected 49 older individuals who underwent physical examinations at Beijing Hospital between May 2021 and March 2024.The participants were divided into two age groups: 60-79 years old(23 cases)and 80-100 years old(26 cases). Levels' differences of trace elements and vitamins between the two age groups were analyzed.Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlations among the tested indicators, and multivariate analysis was conducted using a generalized linear regression model.Results:Among the 49 older individuals, the overall abnormal rate for trace element test results was 8.16%(4 cases), with 2 cases of iron(Fe)deficiency(4.08%)and 2 cases of calcium(Ca)deficiency(4.08%). The overall abnormal rate for vitamin test results was 24.49%(12 cases), which included 5 cases of vitamin B2 deficiency(10.20%), 1 case of vitamin C deficiency(2.04%), and 6 cases of vitamin D deficiency(12.24%). Statistically significant differences were observed between the two age groups in zinc(Zn)and vitamin C levels( t=2.84, 2.83; P=0.007, 0.007). Pearson correlation analysis revealed correlations among 19 pairs of indicators.The top five correlations were between plumbum(Pb)and cadmium(Cd)( r=0.769, P<0.001), Fe and manganese(Mn)( r=0.685, P<0.001), Ca and magnesium(Mg)( r=0.677, P<0.001), vitamin B12 and vitamin C( r=0.455, P=0.001), and vitamin B9 and vitamin D( r=0.422, P=0.003), respectively.The results of the multivariate analysis indicated that, after adjusting for the effects of age group and gender, statistical differences in correlations remained among the remaining trace elements and vitamins, except for those between vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, vitamin B1 and vitamin C, and vitamin A and vitamin D (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The deficiency rates of trace elements and vitamins remain notably high among older patients in our hospital, underscoring the necessity for enhanced nutritional supplementation and regular monitoring of trace element and vitamin levels within this population.Furthermore, a correlation exists between trace elements and vitamins, which offers valuable insights for the diagnosis and treatment of related diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of intestinal obstruction caused by Meckel diverticulum in children,so as to improve the understanding,diagnosis and treatment of this disease.Methods The clinical data of 103 children with intestinal obstruction caused by Meckel diverticulum admitted to Department of General Surgery,Wuhan Children's Hospital,Tongji Medical College,Huazhong University of Science and Technology from Jul.2015 to Jun.2022 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 78 males and 25 females,with an average age of(4.7±2.6)years old(ranged from 4 months to 12 years old).All 103 cases were admitted for abdominal pain,crying,vomiting or abdominal distension with unknown causes.Results Seventy-four children underwent exploratory laparotomy and 29 underwent laparoscopic exploration.During the operation,it was found that Meckel diverticulum combined with the formation of cord oppressed the intestinal tract,resulting in intestinal obstruction in 65 cases;diverticulum perforation and adhesion obstruction in 15 cases;and secondary intussusception leading to obstruction in 23 cases.Twenty-three cases of secondary intussusception underwent manual reduction of intussusception and Meckel diverticulectomy.Thirty-nine cases were complicated with intestinal necrosis,of which 38 cases underwent cord release,necrotic bowel resection,and intestinal anastomosis;1 case underwent necrotic bowel resection and intestinal fistula due to septic shock.Twelve cases underwent cord release and diverticulectomy,14 cases underwent laparoscopic cord release and diverticulectomy,and 15 cases underwent laparoscopic surgery conversion to diverticulectomy.All patients were clinically cured and followed up for more than 1 year,and no anastomotic leakage,wound infection or other complications occurred.Conclusion The formation of cord is the main cause of intestinal obstruction caused by Meckel diverticulum,with atypical early symptoms,lack of specific symptoms,signs and examination methods,leading to a high misdiagnosis rate.It often causes serious complications such as intestinal necrosis and septic shock.For cases of intestinal obstruction with unknown causes,we should be alert to the possibility of intestinal obstruction caused by Meckel diverticulum.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To construct a competency-oriented assessment index system based on entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for 5-year undergraduate clinical medical students in oncology internship.Methods:From June to December 2023, the scoping review approach and Bicomb 2.0 were used to construct and manage an item pool. The draft of EPAs and competencies was designed based on truncated word frequency. SPSS 25.0 was used for cluster analysis and UCINET 6.0 was used for visualization. Combining the characteristics and consensus of oncology, a multi-center expert group used the KJ method to draft the framework of EPAs and competencies. Subsequently, the expert group defined milestones and mapped the milestones to the framework to establish the assessment system.Results:Based on 26 included studies, a draft was created containing 19 EPA indicators and 72 competency characteristic indicators. After cluster analysis, 13 experts from 6 medical institutions established a framework including 13 EPAs and 10 competencies as well as 50 milestones, leading to the construction of the "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system.Conclusions:The "EPAs-competencies-milestones" assessment system aligns with the trend of reform, demonstrating universality, specificity, and scientificity. It provides a reference for the development and assessment of oncology internship courses in medical universities.

Allergic diseases,also known as hypersensitivity diseases,are a systemic disorder affecting nearly 40%of the global population.Although they vary in affected sites and clinical manifestations,they share many common features.For example,allergic diseases are the same type Ⅰ hypersensitivity reaction;the disease mechanism is based on the inability of the positive deficiency to resist the evil,and the allergens induce the onset of the disease;the course of the disease is similar to the patient's physique;the onset of the disease is closely related to the taiyin meridian of the hand and the foot;and the disease locations in traditional Chinese medicine can be categorized as the"orifices",so that the different diseases can be treated with the same treatment.Chinese medicine believes that spleen deficiency is the initiating factor of immune dysfunction,and lung deficiency is the key to the occurrence of allergic diseases,and regulating the lung and spleen is the key point of treatment for allergic diseases.The method of"cultivating the earth and generating gold"is good at adjusting the spleen and stomach and restoring the function of the lungs,which is the key to"same treatment for different diseases"of allergic diseases.Therefore,the purpose of this article is to explore the commonalities of allergic diseases and the role of the method of"cultivating the earth and generating gold"in the treatment of allergic diseases under the perspective of"same treatment for different diseases".
