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 evaluate the safety and efficacy of interventional embolization of middle meningeal artery(MMA)for the treatment of chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH).Methods The clinical data of 14 patients with CSDH(17 lesions in total),who were treated with simple embolization of MMA at the Yijishan Hospital of Wannan Medical College of China between July 2021 and July 2022,were retrospective analyzed.After superselective catheterization of MMA using a microcatheter was accomplished,Onyx-18 glue,a liquid embolization agent,was used to embolize the main trunk and the branches of MMA.Imaging follow-up was adopted at 30 days and 90 days after discharge from hospital to evaluate the absorption of hematoma,and the improvement of clinical symptoms was defined as the modified Rankin Scale score(mRS)being decreased≥1 point from the baseline value.Results Successful embolization of MMA was accomplished for all the 17 lesions in the 14 patients,and no procedure-related complications occurred.During the follow-up period,the clinical symptoms and signs were remarkably improved in all patients.The postoperative 90-day hematoma volume was reduced by more than 90%in 11 patients and by more than 40%in one patient,and in 2 patients the postoperative 30-day hematoma volume was reduced by more than 30%.Complete absorption of hematoma was seen in 11 patients,and partial absorption of hematoma was observed in 3 patients.Conclusion For the treatment of newly-developed or recurrent CSDH,interventional embolization of MMA is clinically safe and effective.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,32:12-16)

Pancreatic cancer has a very poor prognosis.Early diagnosis and treatment are especially critical for improving its prognosis.Nanotechnology has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.Relying on the unique physicochemical properties of nanoparticles and their rich surface modifications,effective enrichment of tumor sites can be achieved.Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles(MIONPs)is one of the commonly used nanomaterials in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer,and has good biocompatibility.Through special surface modification,it can be used in targeted diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.MIONPs can be used as a contrast agent for MRI,and by modifying the surface,they also can be used in targeted imaging of pancreatic cancer.And they can also be modified as a drug delivery system to achieve targeted delivery of drugs and improve therapeutic effects.However,the application of MIONPs in pancreatic cancer diagnosis and treatment still faces some challenges,such as nanotoxicity and cost issues.With the development of technology,MIONPs are expected to play an important role in the personalized diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of remazolam and propofol on the hemodynamics during induction of anaesthesia in elderly patients using the area under curve (AUC) method.Methods:Eighty elderly patients of either sex, aged 65-75 yr, with body mass index of 20-28 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery, were divided into 2 groups ( n=40 each) by using a random number table method: remazolam group (R group) and propofol group (P group). Remazolam 1 mg/ml or propofol 10 mg/ml was slowly and intravenously injected through titration to achieve loss of responsiveness to verbal command. The accumulative areas under the curve below (AUC MAP-) or above (AUC MAP+ ) baseline mean arterial pressure and under the curve below or above 10% of baseline heart rate at the same time (AUC HR-, AUC HR+ ) were calculated within the first 10 min after administration of propofol or remazolam. The use of vasoactive drugs and injection pain were recorded during this period. The intraoperative awareness during the 24-h follow-up after surgery and development of cardiovascular complications, cerebral infarction and oliguria or anuria within 30 days after surgery were recorded. Results:Compared with R group, AUC MAP- was significantly enlarged (the mean difference 59.375 mmHg·min, 95% confidence interval 26.763-91.987 mmHg·min), AUC HR- was enlarged ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in AUC MAP+, AUC HR+, requirement for vasoactive drugs, frequency of vasoactive drugs, and postoperative complications in P group ( P>0.05). No injection pain or intraoperative awareness was found in two groups. Conclusions:Remazolam is superior to propofol in maintaining hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction in elderly patients.

This paper reported a rare case of hypercalcemic crisis caused by a parathyroid adenoma with hemorrhage and cystic degeneration. Preoperative imaging examination of the patient was unable to determine the histological origin of the cervical cystic lesion. Despite aggressive medical treatment and hemodialysis, hypercalcemic crisis could not be relieved. Therefore, surgical exploration and excision of the cervical lesion were performed, and final diagnosis of parathyroid adenoma with hemorrhage and cystic degeneration was confirmed by pathology. Blood calcium level and renal function returned to normal after the surgery.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) combined with general anesthesia on the postoperative brain injury in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.Methods:A total of 100 patients of either sex, aged ≥65 yr, with body mass index of 20-24 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer, were divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) by using a random number table method: general anesthesia group (G group) and TPVB combined with general anesthesia group (TG group). TPVB was performed before induction of anesthesia in group TG.Anesthesia was induced with IV midazolam, etomidate, rocuronium and sufentanil and maintained with infusion of propofol and remifentanil and intermittent IV boluses of cis-atracurium.Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used for postoperative analgesia after surgery.Venous blood samples were taken at 5 min after entering the operating room and 24 and 72 h after surgery to determine the concentrations of S100β, neuron-specific enolase, Tau protein, β amyloid and interleukin-6 in plasma.The cognitive function was assessed by using the Mini Mental State Examination Scale and Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale at 1 day before surgery and 24 and 72 h after surgery, and cognitive dysfunction was recorded.The quality of night sleep was assessed using Numerical Rating Scale at 1 day before surgery, on the day of surgery and on day 3 after surgery.The occurrence of nausea and vomiting within 72 h after operation, perioperative consumption of sufentanil, effective pressing times of PCA within 24 h after operation and requirement for postoperative rescue analgesia were recorded. Results:No postoperative nausea and vomiting was found and no patients required rescue analgesia in either group.Compared with group G, the concentrations of S100β, neuron-specific enolase and interleukin-6 in plasma, Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale score, and incidence of cognitive dysfunction were significantly decreased at 24 h after surgery, sleep quality score was increased, and the perioperative sufentanil consumption and effective pressing times of PCA were reduced ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in plasma Tau protein and β amyloid concentrations in group TG ( P>0.05). Conclusions:TPVB combined with general anesthesia is helpful in reducing postoperative brain injury in elderly patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer.

Objective:To analysis the correlation of eating speed with obesity.Methods:A total of 644 people aged 40-65 from Caihe Community in Hangzhou were enrolled to collect clinical and demographic data, undergo extensive physical examination and laboratory tests. Participants were divided into two groups according to their eating speed (non-fast and fast). Obesity-related parameters were compared between two groups. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to explore the relationship between eating speed and obesity after adjusting confounders.Results:Body mass index, waist circumference, and visceral fat area were greater in the fast eating group than non-fast eating group(all P<0.01). After adjusting for age, gender, smoking, alcohol drinking, physical activity level per week, and principal food intake, logistic regression analysis showed that eating fast was correlated with abdominal obesity( OR=1.66, 95% CI 1.11-2.48, P=0.014) and visceral obesity( OR=1.65, 95% CI 1.14-2.39, P=0.007). After stratified by gender, in the group of men, eating fast was correlated with abdominal obesity( OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.07-4.04, P=0.032) and visceral obesity( OR=1.85, 95% CI 1.04-3.31, P=0.037); In the group of women, eating fast was correlated with overweight and obesity( OR=1.59, 95% CI 1.04-2.42, P=0.031). Conclusion:Eating fast is positively associated with obesity. Interventions for reducing eating speed may be effective for weight control.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between tooth movement and profile change in patients with class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion.Methods:Pre- and post-treatment lateral cephalograms of 42 patients [10 males and 32 females, (23.8±6.3) years old, mean treatment time: 1.9 years] with class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion were collected in Department of Oral & Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery, Ninth People′s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from June 2012 to November 2017. The patients were treated with extraction of four first premolars or two maxillary first premolars. Cephalometric analysis was carried out before and after treatment. Thirty parameters were measured. The changes of soft and hard tissue after orthodontic treatment and their correlations were analyzed using bivariate linear regression. Related factors affecting the upper and lower lip, nasolabial angle (NLA) and mentolabial angle (MLA) were analyzed according to the standardized regression coefficient ( Beta). Results:Among all the 30 parameters, 18 parameters were statistically different before and after treatment. After treatment, upper central incisor sagittal distance [(63.87±7.14) mm] and upper lip sagittal distance [(77.73±7.60) mm] were significantly decreased ( P<0.05). The changes in 14 parameters after treatment showed linear relationship including strong positive correlation between upper lip sagittal retraction and upper central incisor sagittal retraction ( r=0.649, P<0.01). There were moderate positive correlations between upper lip and upper central incisor vertical movement ( r=0.544, P<0.01). While the sagittal change of gnathion and the Y-axis angle showed moderate negative correlations ( r=0.537, P<0.01). The stepwise multiple linear regression showed that the retraction of upper lip process was correlated with the retraction of upper central incisor, the increase of occlusal plane angle and the increase of upper central incisor angle, which was most correlated with the retraction of upper central incisor ( Beta=0.79). The downward displacement of upper lip process was correlated with the downward displacement of upper incisor, the decrease of upper central incisor angle, the decrease of the distance between maxillary first molar and palatal plane, and the increase of occlusal plane angle, which was more correlated with the downward displacement of upper incisor and the increase of occlusal plane angle ( Beta=0.59). The downward displacement of lower lip process was correlated with the downward displacement of upper incisor and lower incisor, which was more correlated with the upper incisor ( Beta=0.36). Conclusions:The relationship among nose, lips and chin was more coordinated. Incisor retraction had significant influence on lip prominence, and the lower lip position was highly related to the movement of upper incisor in sagittal and vertical dimension after orthodontic treatment in patients with class Ⅱ division 1 malocclusion. However, tooth movement had limited impact on the chin position.
