Objective To investigate epidemic characteristics of overweight, obesity and obesity-related diabetes in adults in Shenyang, and to explore the influence of overweight and obesity on diabetes. Methods Questionnaire survey combined with physical examination and laboratory examination was adopted to finally collect valid data of 5,239 people underwent physical examination in the hospital from January 2018 to December 2019. Height, weight and blood glucose levels were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. The overweight and obesity status of adults with different characteristics, gender and age were compared, and the prevalence of diabetes among people with different BMI in Shenyang was recorded.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of overweight and obesity in adults. Logistic regression with complex sample data was used to analyze the risk of diabetes among overweight and obesity adults in different BMI subgroups, and the odds ratio (OR) value was calculated.Results The overall overweight and obesity rates in Shenyang were 42.05% and 21.80% respectively. Gender, region, occupation, smoking, alcohol consumption, eating habits and daily sleep time were associated with overweight (χ²= 437.299, χ²=399.536, χ²=447.144, χ²=77.529, χ²=38.984, χ²=297.900, χ²=1188.323, P<0.001) and obesity (χ²=225.169, χ²=47.296, χ²=241.920, χ²=129.770, χ²=23.197, χ²=98.14, χ²=146.05, P<0.001), the differences were statistically significant.The overweight and obesity rates among adults of different ages and gender had significant difference (P<0.05). Gender, age, region, marital status, smoking, alcohol consumption, eating habits and daily sleep time were the influencing factors of overweight and obesity in adults (P<0.05). With the increase of BMI, the prevalence of diabetes gradually increased (P<0.05). After adjusting for the confounding factors such as age, region and family per capita annual income, the risk of diabetes mellitus in adults with BMI of 24.0~27.9 kg/m², or ≥28.0 kg/m² were higher than those with BMI of 18.5~23.9 kg/m², (Male: OR=2.034, OR=2.365, P<0.05；Female: OR=1.658, OR=1.763, P<0.05；Overall: OR=1.763, OR=1.811, P<0.05). Conclusion The overweight and obesity rates of adults in Shenyang are relatively high, and the risk of diabetes increases with the increase of BMI, so the related health education and intervention are of vital importance in weight-control and diabetes prevention.

Objective To analyze the independent factors impacting the in-hospital prognosis of patients with septic shock,and to construct a simplified scoring system and evaluate its predictive value.Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out on 247 patients with septic shock admitted to the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2021 to July 2022,among whom 122 patients survived and 125 died.Univariate analysis and multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model were used to screen the independent factors affecting in-hospital mortality of septic shock patients.The best cut-off value was ob-tained by using the receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve,and the continuous variables were conver-ted into binary variables and assigned.Finally,a simplified scoring system was established,and its predictive efficacy for hospital death in septic shock patients was verified.Results The results of multivariate Cox pro-portional hazard regression model showed that the Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score(HR=0.929,95%CI:0.875-0.985,P=0.014),quick sequential organ failure assessment(qSOFA)score(HR=1.475,95%CI:1.094-1.989,P=0.011),lactate level(HR=1.096,95%CI:1.049-1.145,P<0.001),procalcitonin level(HR=1.009,95%CI:1.000-1.018,P=0.048),and albumin level(HR=0.958,95%CI:0.922-0.996,P=0.029)were identified as independent influencing factors for in-hospital mortality in patients with septic shock.The ROC curve showed that the simplified scoring system,based on GCS score,qSOFA score,lactate,procalcitonin,and albumin levels,exhibited an area under the curve and 95%CI of 0.866(0.822-0.910),with an optimal cutoff value of 2.5.The sensitivity and specificity were 80.0%and 78.7%,respectively.Con-clusion The simplified scoring system,based on early assessments of GCS score,qSOFA score,lactate,pro-calcitonin,and albumin levels,demonstrates substantial predictive value for in-hospital mortality in patients with septic shock.

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of hip arthroplasty through direct anterior approach (DAA) in lateral decubitus in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis caused by Kaschin-Beck disease and congenital acetabular dysplasia.Methods:The prospective study method was used to select the patients who needed hip arthroplasty in the Fourth Department of Orthopedics, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2015 to December 2019. All of them were operated with lateral decubitus DAA. According to the inclusion criteria, they were divided into Kacshin-Beck disease hip osteoarthritis group (group A) and congenital acetabular dysplasia hip osteoarthritis group (group B). Hip Harris score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score, visual analogue scale (VAS) score were conducted, and hip abduction angle and flexion angle were measured before surgery, 3, 14 days and 1, 3, and 12 months after surgery.Results:Nineteen and twenty-two patients were included in group A and group B, respectively. All patients successfully completed the surgery. There was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups before surgery, 3, 14 days, and 1, 12 months after surgery ( P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in WOMAC score, VAS score, hip abduction angle and hip flexion angle between the two groups before surgery and each time point after surgery ( P > 0.05). In the same group, there were significant differences in Harris score, WOMAC score, VAS score, hip abduction angle and hip flexion angle at different time points ( P < 0.001). All postoperative indicators were significantly improved compared with those before surgery. Conclusions:There is no significant difference in the clinical effects of hip arthroplasty through lateral decubitus DAA in the treatment of hip osteoarthritis caused by Kaschin-Beck disease and congenital acetabular dysplasia. This surgical method has good therapeutic effect on both types of hip osteoarthritis.

Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a disabling osteoarthropathy of unknown cause, which occurs most frequently in children and adolescents and affects many regions in China. In adults KBD patients, the degeneration of weight-bearing joints is the most serious, especially the knee joint. Up to now, there are still a large number of adult patients with KBD arthritis of the knee, and they have not been systematically and effectively treated. The main manifestations are knee joint pain, thickening, deformation and restricted movement. In severe cases, it can lead to knee joint varus, valgus, flexion contracture, and rotational deformity, which seriously affects the quality of life and work ability of the patients. Early diagnosis of KBD arthritis of the knee is difficult and there is no effective treatment, so it needs to be differentiated from knee osteoarthritis (OA). KBD and OA have common pathological characteristics. According to the "Consensus of Four-stepladder Program of Knee 0steoarthritis" (2018), OA treatment is divided into four levels: basic treatment, drug treatment, restorative treatment and reconstruction treatment. In this paper, the treatment of KBD arthritis of adult knee joint is summarized, which is also divided into four steps. It is necessary to make stepwise treatments according to the severity of KBD arthritis of the knee and the differences of patient's own condition, so that the limited medical resources can be efficiently used. At the same time, this paper also systematically summarizes the epidemiological characteristics, pathological features and diagnostic criteria of KBD arthritis of the knee, aiming to provide effective reference and guidance for the treatment of KBD arthritis of the knee.

Neurons in the primary auditory area (AUDp) innervate multiple brain regions with long-range projections while receiving informative inputs for diverse functions. However, the brain-wide connections of these neurons have not been comprehensively investigated. Here, we simultaneously applied virus-based anterograde and retrograde tracing, labeled the connections of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the mouse AUDp, and acquired whole-brain information using a dual-channel fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography system. Quantified results showed that the two types of neurons received inputs with similar patterns but sent heterogeneous projections to downstream regions. In the isocortex, functionally different areas consistently sent feedback-dominated projections to these neurons, with concomitant laterally-dominated projections from the sensory and limbic cortices to inhibitory neurons. In subcortical regions, the dorsal and medial parts of the non-lemniscal auditory thalamus (AT) were reciprocally connected to the AUDp, while the ventral part contained the most fibers of passage from the excitatory neurons and barely sent projections back, indicating the regional heterogeneity of the AUDp-AT circuit. Our results reveal details of the whole-brain network and provide new insights for further physiological and functional studies of the AUDp.
