Obesity, as a chronic recurrent disease, has become a major public health challenge in China. To implement the requirements of the Healthy China Initiative (2019—2030), under domestic guidelines or consensus statements on overweight and obesity, and in alignment with the latest scientific advances globally, the Quality control protocol for adult overweight and obesity screening in health management (examination) institutions (2025 edition) was developed. This protocol was drafted by the Health Management Center of Shanghai Changzheng Hospital and formulated through multiple rounds of deliberation by experts in China’s health examination quality control field. The protocol establishes unified standards for screening facilities, personnel qualifications, and measurement or testing procedures. It defines specific screening items, outlines a standardized screening pathway, and sets requirements for the final medical review, ensuring the scientific validity, effectiveness, and safety of the screening process. The implementation of this protocol will enhance the consistency of weight management practices for adults across health examination institutions and strengthen the quality control of overweight and obesity screening programs.

PURPOSE:
To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss.
METHODS:
This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method. A yorkshire model of brain tissue injury induced by traumatic blood loss was established. Firstly, the perfusion temperature and blood oxygen saturation were monitored in real-time during the perfusion process. The number of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, NA+, K+, and Ca2+ ions concentrations and pH of the perfusate were detected. Following perfusion, we specifically examined the parietal lobe to assess its water content. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were then dissected for histological evaluation, allowing us to investigate potential regional differences in tissue injury. The blank control group was sampled directly before perfusion. All statistical analyses and graphs were performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 Student t-test. All tests were two-sided, and p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.
RESULTS:
The contents of red blood cells and hemoglobin during perfusion were maintained at normal levels but more red blood cells were destroyed 3 h after the perfusion. The blood oxygen saturation of the perfusion group was maintained at 95% - 98%. NA+ and K+ concentrations were normal most of the time during perfusion but increased significantly at about 4 h. The Ca2+ concentration remained within the normal range at each period. Glucose levels were slightly higher than the baseline level. The pH of the perfusion solution was slightly lower at the beginning of perfusion, and then gradually increased to the normal level. The water content of brain tissue in the sub-low and docile perfusion group was 78.95% ± 0.39%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.27% ± 0.55%, t = 10.49, p < 0.001), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the blank control group, the structure and morphology of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and CA1 region of the hippocampal gyrus were similar, and their integrity was better. The structural integrity of granulosa neurons was destroyed and cell edema increased in the perfusion group compared with the blank control group. Immunofluorescence staining for glail fibrillary acidic protein and Iba1, markers of glial cells, revealed well-preserved cell structures in the perfusion group. While there were indications of abnormal cellular activity, the analysis showed no significant difference in axon thickness or integrity compared to the 1-h blank control group.
CONCLUSIONS
Mild hypothermic machine perfusion can improve ischemia and hypoxia injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss and delay the necrosis and apoptosis of yorkshire brain tissue by continuous oxygen supply, maintaining ion homeostasis and reducing tissue metabolism level.

Neuropathic pain, often featuring allodynia, imposes significant physical and psychological burdens on patients, with limited treatments due to unclear central mechanisms. Addressing this challenge remains a crucial unsolved issue in pain medicine. Our previous study, using protein kinase C gamma (PKCγ)-tdTomato mice, highlights the spinal feedforward inhibitory circuit involving PKCγ neurons in gating neuropathic allodynia. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing this circuit necessitate further elucidation. We used diverse transgenic mice and advanced techniques to uncover the regulatory role of the descending serotonin (5-HT) facilitation system on spinal PKCγ neurons. Our findings revealed that 5-HT neurons from the rostral ventromedial medulla hyperpolarize spinal inhibitory interneurons via 5-HT2C receptors, disinhibiting the feedforward inhibitory circuit involving PKCγ neurons and exacerbating allodynia. Inhibiting spinal 5-HT2C receptors restored the feedforward inhibitory circuit, effectively preventing neuropathic allodynia. These insights offer promising therapeutic targets for neuropathic allodynia management, emphasizing the potential of spinal 5-HT2C receptors as a novel avenue for intervention.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of pulse pressure variability(PPV)in early prevention and diagnosis of prostate resection syndrome by observing the changes in PPV during transurethral resection of the prostate.Methods Eighty patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)under general anesthesia from March to April 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 patients in each group.The control group underwent routine monitoring of invasive blood pressure,while the observation group continued to monitor PPV in addition to invasive blood pressure monitoring.Observe and record the hemodynamic parameters,electrolyte Na+,K+,CL-,Changes in hemoglobin(Hb)and hematocrit(Hct),recording surgical time,intraoperative lavage fluid dosage,and occurrence of dilutive hyponatremia(TURS).Results One patient in the observation group experienced two unexplained drops in blood pressure and heart rate during surgery,and was diagnosed with TURS based on blood gas analysis.Among them,the observation group showed a decreasing trend in PPV with the prolongation of surgery time.PPV gradually decreased at 45~60 minutes after surgery,and at 90 minutes after surgery,PPV decreased significantly compared to preoperative levels.Among them,6 patients had a 50%decrease in PPV compared to preoperative levels.For patients with significantly reduced PPV,immediate treatment was given 10~20 mg of furosemide and 10 mg of dexamethasone.By the end of surgery,PPV had basically recovered to preoperative levels.Both groups of patients showed varying degrees of decrease in Na+,K+,Hct,and Hb levels.Conclusions PPV can reflect the volume status of patients.When PPV decreases by more than 50%compared to preoperative levels and there are unexplained hemodynamic changes and abnormal clinical manifestations during surgery,it is necessary to be vigilant and handle them promptly to reduce and prevent the occurrence of TURS.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the clinical efficacy of lengthened proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and InterTan in the treatment of subtrochanteric femur fractures in the elderly.
METHODS:
A retrospective analysis was performed on the data of 65 elderly patients diagnosed with subtrochanteric femoral fractures who met the inclusion criteria between October 2016 and January 2022. The enrolled patients were categorized into two groups according to the type of internal fixation used: the lengthened proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA) group and the InterTan group. There were 32 patients in the PFNA group, comprising 20 males and 12 females, with ages ranging from 60 to 85 years old with an average of (69.3±6.7 ) years old. Among these patients, 15 patients resulted from traffic accidents and 17 patients were caused by falls. According to the Seinsheimer classification system, there were 11 patients as type Ⅱ, 14 patients as type Ⅲ, 6 patients as type Ⅳ, and 1 patient as type Ⅴ. The InterTan group comprised 33 patients, including 20 males and 13 females, aged from 60 to 85 years old with an average of (69.8±7.8 ) years old. Of these, 15 patients resulted from traffic accidents, while 18 patients were caused by falls. According to the Seinsheimer classification system, 10 patients as type Ⅱ, 15 patients as type Ⅲ, 7 patients as type Ⅳ, and 1 patient as type Ⅴ. The intraoperative blood loss, operative duration, and fracture healing time were recorded and compared between two groups. The quality of fracture reduction was assessed using Chang's criteria. Additionally, the Harris hip score was utilized to evaluate hip function in both groups at 3 months postoperatively and at the final follow-up.
RESULTS:
All patients were followed up for a period ranging from 10 to 20 months with an average of (14.6±4.5) months. No statistically significant differences were observed between two groups in terms of operation time, intraoperative blood loss, quality of fracture reduction, or reduction methods (P>0.05). Three months after the surgery, the Harris hip score in the InterTan group was 80.0(78.0, 83.5) points, which was significantly higher than that in the PFNA group, which recorded a score of 77.5(75.0, 81.8) points. This difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the final follow-up, the Harris hip score in the InterTan group was 80.0(76.5, 87.0), while that in the PFNA group was 78.0(74.3, 82.8). No statistically significant difference was observed between two groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
The use of lengthened PFNA and InterTan in the treatment of elderly subtrochanteric femur fractures can both achieve good treatment results, with the advantages of simple operation, firm fixation, and low failure rate of internal fixation. The lengthened InterTan can achieve better hip function than PFNA.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that Huosui Formula has a synergistic effect on the immune and hematopoietic regulation of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome,but the specific mechanism is not yet clear.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect and mechanism of Huosui Formula on bone marrow hematopoiesis in rats with myelodysplastic syndrome.METHODS:A total of 70 SD rats were randomly divided into a normal control group(n=10),a model group(n=15),a western medicine group(n=15),a low-dose Huosui Formula group(n=15),and a high-dose Huosui Formula group(n=15).Except for the normal control group,the other four groups were injected with dimethyl benzanthracene via the tail vein to induce the establishment of rat myelodysplastic syndrome models.After modeling,the normal control group and the model group were given normal saline;the western medicine group was given thalidomide capsules 10 mg/kg and retinoic acid tablets 4 mg/kg,and the low-dose Huosui Formula group and the high-dose Huosui Formula group were given 1.5 and 6 g/kg Huosui Formula,respectively,by intragastric administration once a day for 28 consecutive days.Peripheral blood and femoral bone marrow tissue were collected to detect peripheral blood routine and bone marrow biopsy hematopoietic proliferation.Flow cytometry was used to detect T lymphocyte subsets and the expression of CTLA-4 and PD-1 on T lymphocytes.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the normal control group,peripheral blood leukocyte,neutrophil,hemoglobin,platelet,and CD4+,CD4+/CD8+levels were decreased in the model group significantly(P<0.05),while CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+expressions were significantly upregulated(P<0.05).(2)In all dosage groups,myelopoietic proliferation was increased compared with the model group,with no significant difference between the groups(P>0.05).(3)Compared with the model group,leukocytes,hemoglobin,platelets,and CD4+,CD4+/CD8+were significantly elevated in the high-dose Huosui Formula group(P<0.05),the expression of CD8+was significantly lower(P<0.05),and the levels of CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+were down-regulated but not statistically significant(P>0.05).(4)The western medicine group and the high-dose Huosui Formula group showed similar efficacy.The improvement of each index in the high-dose Huosui Formula group was superior to that in the low-dose Huosui Formula group.These findings indicate that Huosui Formula can improve the bone marrow hematopoiesis in myelodysplastic syndrome model rats,increase the levels of CD4+,and CD4+/CD8+while down-regulate the expression levels of CD4+PD-1+,CD8+PD-1+,CD4+CTLA-4+,and CD8+CTLA-4+.These observations suggest a link to the negative immunoregulation mechanism.
