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.

OBJECTIVES: To compare perioperative and mid-term results of multiple versus single arterial off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) in patients with impaired left ventricular function. METHODS: This study was conducted among 86 patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <50%, who underwent OPCABG at our hospital between January, 2018 and December, 2021. Of these patients, 22 underwent OPCABG with multiple arterial grafts (multiple graft group) and 64 received a single arterial graft in OPCABG (single graft group). The preoperative, intraoperative, and perioperative data were collected, and the patients were followed up for a mean of 29.28±14.84 months. The perioperative outcomes and follow-up results of the patients were compared, and the factors influencing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were identified using logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare the postoperative survival rate without MACE. RESULTS: The patients in multiple graft group had a significantly younger age than those in single graft group (P<0.05), but the other baseline data were similar between the two groups (P>0.05). Perioperative mortality, 24-h postoperative drainage volume, length of ICU stay, intubation time, and the incidence of new-onset atrial fibrillation were all similar between the two groups (P>0.05), but the rate of postoperative hypotension was significantly higher in multiple graft group (34.78% vs 11.54%, P=0.009). No significant differences were found in the incidence of MACE or echocardiographic data during the follow-up. Logistic regression identified the female sex (OR: 0.191, 95% CI: 0.049-0.075) and creatinine level (OR: 1.016, 95% CI: 1.000-1.033) as factors affecting postoperative MACE occurrence. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant difference in MACE-free survival rate between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS OPCABG with multiple arterial grafts does not increase severe perioperative complications or the risk of mid-term MACE in patients with impaired left ventricular function.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of upper urinary tract stones complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),so as to provide reference for the prevention of this disease.Methods The clinical data of 158 NAFLD patients undergoing surgical treatment in our hospital during Jan.2022 and Jul.2023 were retrospectively analyzed.According to whether the patients were complicated with NAFLD,they were divided into the NAFLD group(n=56)and non-NAFLD group(n=102).The general data,laboratory indexes and 24-h urinary metabolic indexes were compared between the two groups,and the risk factors were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results Compared with the non NAFLD group,the NAFLD group had higher BMI[(28.17±4.17)vs.(24.11±3.72),P＜0.001],blood uric acid[(354.13±111.01)μmol/L vs.(294.41±93.72)μmol/L,P＜0.001],and 24-h urinary oxalate level[(37.74±15.00)mmol vs.(27.73±15.27)mmol,P＜0.001].Multivariate logistic analysis showed that BMI(OR=1.311,P＜0.001),24-h urinary oxalate(OR=1.046,P=0.004),and 24-h urinary magnesium(OR=0.599,P=0.002)were the independent factors for NAFLD with upper urinary tract stones.Conclusion NAFLD complicated with upper urinary tract stones is significantly associated with high BMI,high 24-h urinary oxalate,and low 24-h urinary magnesium.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of fungal infection in patients with upper urinary tract calculi after surgery and construct a risk prediction nomograph model.Methods:The clinical data of 2 329 patients who had undergone upper urinary calculus surgery in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the presence or absence of fungal infection within 3 months after surgery, the patients were divided into fungal infection group (n=97) and non-fungal infection group (n=2 232). Univariate logistic regression analysis and LASSO regression were used to screen the potential influencing factors. The enrolled patients were randomly divided into a training set (n=1 630) and a validation set (n=699) at a ratio of 7∶3. Based on the training set, multivariate logistic stepwise regression was used to screen independent risk factors and to construct a nomogram. Based on the validation set, ROC curve, calibration curve and decision curve were drawn to evaluate the model's differentiation, accuracy and clinical applicability.Results:Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that female gender, age, diabetes mellitus, history of malignant tumor, long-term bedridden disease, long-term use of immunosuppressants, hemoglobin on admission, serum creatinine, uric acid, white blood cell count on admission, neutrophil count on admission, degree of hydronephrosis, preoperative indwelling ureteral stent, duration of surgery, postoperative fever within 48 hours, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, CRP, urinary catheter indwelling time, length of hospital stay, use of carbapenem antibiotics, the duration of antibiotic use and the duration of postoperative ureteral stent indwelling were related to fungal infection. screening after upper urinary calculi surgery ( P<0.05). Univariate logistic regression results were screened after LASSO regression. Multivariate logistic stepwise regression analysis for the training set showed that age ( OR=1.041, 95% CI 1.017-1.066, P=0.001), diabetes( OR=3.138, 95% CI 1.517-6.492, P=0.002), long-term bed-rest ( OR=10.627, 95% CI 3.671-30.767, P<0.001), history of malignant tumor( OR=11.934, 95% CI 5.473-26.022, P<0.001), white blood cell count on admission( OR=1.276, 95% CI 1.134-1.436, P<0.001), postoperative fever within 48 hours ( OR=3.940, 95% CI 1.956-7.937, P<0.001), use of carbapenem antibiotics( OR=5.826, 95% CI 2.783-12.196, P<0.001), length of hospital stay( OR=1.201, 95% CI 1.131-1.277, P<0.001), and postoperative retention time of ureteral stent( OR=1.205, 95% CI 1.104-1.315, P<0.001) were independent risk factors for fungal infection after upper urinary calculi surgery.The nomogram model was constructed based on independent risk factors. The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the nomogram model in the prediction validation set was 0.955(95% CI 0.926-0.984). The calibration curve of the model was well fitted to the ideal curve. The results of decision curve analysis proved that the net benefit rate of the prediction model within the threshold range was higher than the two extreme lines when the threshold probability was <86%, indicating that the model was of good clinical applicability. Conclusions:Age, diabetes, history of malignant tumor, long-term bed-rest disease, white blood cell count on admission, postoperative fever within 48 hours, use of carbapenem antibiotics, length of hospital stay, and postoperative retention time of ureteral stent are independent risk factors for fungal infection in patients with upper urinary calculi after surgery. The model constructed in this study has good predictive ability and clinical applicability for the risk of fungal infection in patients with upper urinary calculi after surgery.

Objective:To investigate the independent risk factors for the occurrence of early urinary incontinence after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate(HoLEP), and to construct a clinical risk predictive model for postoperative urinary incontinence.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 384 patients who underwent HoLEP between February 2019 and July 2024 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The cohort had a mean age of (68.3 ± 6.5) years, with a body mass index (BMI) of 22.45 (20.11, 24.39) kg/m 2. The median duration of lower urinary tract symptoms was 60 (36, 60) months. Of the patients, 104 (27.1%) had a history of diabetes mellitus, 139 (36.2%) had hypertension, and 54 (14.1%) had a preoperative indwelling urinary catheter. Additionally, 136 patients (35.4%) had a preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level ≥ 4 ng/ml, and 197 patients (51.3%) had a preoperative residual urine volume ≥ 50 ml. The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) was ≥ 19 in 227 cases (59.1%). Preoperative detrusor instability was observed in 169 cases (44.0%), with a median maximal urinary flow rate of 5.9 (4.5, 9.3) ml/s and a median urinary flow rate of 4.0 (3.4, 7.3) ml/s. Moreover, 148 cases (38.5%) had a preoperative prostate volume ≥ 65 ml, and the preoperative median maximum urethral length (MUL) was 13.99 (12.40, 16.24) mm. Postoperative follow-up allowed for division of the patients into two groups: those with recovery of urinary control function and those with early postoperative urinary incontinence. The general characteristics of both groups were compared. Independent risk factors for early postoperative urinary incontinence were identified through multifactorial logistic regression. Variables with statistically significant differences were included in a column chart model created using R software. Internal validation was performed through repeated sampling with the Bootstrap method to assess the model's discriminative ability. Calibration curves were plotted to examine the consistency between predicted and actual outcomes, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to evaluate the model's fit. Results:This study included 384 patients, with 313 in the urinary control function recovery group and 71 in the early incontinence group. There were statistically significant difference between the two groups in age [≥70 years old: 91 (29.1%) vs. 33 (46.5%)], prostate volume [≥65 ml: 110 (35.1%) vs. 38 (53.5%)], MUL [14.21 (12.63, 16.24) mm vs. 13.12 (12.21, 13.95) mm], and non-inhibitory contraction of the urethra muscle in both groups [125 (39.9%) vs. 44 cases (62.0%)] ( P < 0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of BMI, disease duration, history of diabetes mellitus, preoperative catheterization, IPSS, preoperative PSA, residual bladder urine volume, maximum urinary flow rate, average urinary flow rate, operative time, or duration of indwelling urinary catheterization ( P > 0.05). Multifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that age ≥ 70 years ( OR = 0.414, 95% CI 0.230-0.746, P = 0.003), prostate volume ≥ 65 ml ( OR=0.451, 95% CI 0.251-0.812, P=0.008), MUL( OR=0.688, 95% CI 0.590-0.802, P<0.001), and detrusor instability, uninhibited detrusor contraction ( OR=0.526, 95% CI 0.279-0.994, P=0.048) were independent risk factors for early postoperative urinary incontinence following HoLEP. A prediction model was developed based on these findings, and internal validation showed a C-index of 0.753. The calibration curve was close to the ideal curve, indicating that the model has good predictive performance. Conclusions:Age ≥70 years, prostate volume ≥65 ml, MUL, and uninhibited contraction of the urethra muscle were independent influences on early urinary incontinence after HoLEP, and the nomogram constructed in this way had good predictive performance for the risk of developing early urinary incontinence after HoLEP.

Keratoconus is a blinding corneal disease characterized by central or paracentral corneal thinning and conical ectasia, and usually happens in adolescence. Currently, the etiology of keratoconus is unclear. Multiple studies have identified an association between genetics, eye rubbing, allergic diseases, ultraviolet exposure and keratoconus. Recently, several studies identified that sex hormones also played important roles in the pathogenesis of keratoconus. The disturbance of sex hormones may increase the risk of occurrence and progress of keratoconus. This review aims to summarize the pathophysiological effects of sex hormones on the cornea, clarify the effects of sex hormones on keratoconus and its related inflammatory or immune mechanisms, and explore the role of sex hormones in the early diagnosis and treatment of keratoconus, providing reference and help for clinical work.
