Objective:To investigate the effects of a low-energy balanced diet combined with exercise intervention on glycolipid metabolism levels in children with simple obesity.Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was performed in this study. Forty children with simple obesity who attended the pediatric outpatient department of Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in Hebei Province from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected and randomly divided into two groups using a random number table: an observation group ( n=22) and a control group ( n=18). No weight-loss products were used by any children in either group. The control group received exercise intervention alone, while the observation group received a combined intervention of exercise and a low-energy balanced diet. The intervention lasted for 8 weeks for both groups. The differences in energy intake during the intervention, as well as body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, fasting blood glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and adiponectin levels before and after the intervention were compared between the two groups. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as Mean±SD, inter-group comparisons were performed by independent samples t-test, and within-group comparisons before and after treatment were performedby paired t-test. Counting data were expressed as case (%), and inter-group comparisons were performed by χ2 test. Results:The energy intake during the intervention was lower in the observation group than in the control group [(1 450±180) kcal/d vs. (1 780±205) kcal/d, t=-5.35, P<0.001]. Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in body weight, BMI and waist circumference between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 8 weeks of intervention, body weight, BMI, and waist circumference decreased significantly compared to pre-intervention levels in both groups [Control group: (62±12) kg vs. (64±13) kg, (26.4±2.9) kg/m 2 vs. (27.9±3.4) kg/m 2, (85±7) cm vs. (91±7) cm, t=7.23, 9.07, 12.31, respectively, all P<0.001; Observation group: (59±16) kg vs. (65 ± 17) kg, (23.3±4.3) kg/m 2 vs. (28.5±4.1) kg/m 2, (82±9) cm vs. (92±10) cm, t=24.90, 17.93, 21.40, respectively, all P<0.001]. Furthermore, the post-intervention values for body weight, BMI, and waist circumference were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group ( t=-10.89, -18.92, -5.16, respectively, all P<0.001). Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in FBG, FINS, TG, TC, or adiponectin levels between the two groups (all P>0.05). After 8 weeks of intervention, FBG, FINS, TG, and TC levels decreased significantly compared to pre-intervention levels in both groups [Control group: (4.99±0.26) mmol/L vs. (5.22±0.27) mmol/L, (24±6) mU/L vs. (26±8) mU/L, (1.3±0.5) mmol/L vs. (1.5±0.4) mmol/L, (4.3±0.6) mmol/L vs. (4.5±0.6) mmol/L, t=19.75, 6.69, 7.64, 18.27, respectively, all P<0.001; Observation group: (4.64±0.34) mmol/L vs. (5.31±0.26) mmol/L, (16±5) mU/L vs. (21±10) mU/L, (1.0±0.3) mmol/L vs. (1.4±0.5) mmol/L, (4.0±0.8) mmol/L vs. (4.5±0.8) mmol/L, t=19.66, 8.82, 11.26, 22.68, respectively, all P<0.001]. Adiponectin levels increased significantly in both groups [Control group: (8.0±1.2) mg/L vs. (6.8±1.1) mg/L , t=8.38, P<0.001; Observation group: (8.8±1.1) mg/L vs. (6.8±1.2) mg/L, t=23.78, P<0.001], while the improvements in all these glycolipid metabolic parameters were significantly greater in the observation group than in the control group ( t=3.70, 2.76, 2.42, 2.22,2.14, P=0.001, 0.009, 0.020, 0.027, 0.039). Conclusion:The combined intervention of a low-energy balanced diet and exercise can reduce body weight, blood glucose, and blood lipid levels in obese children, thereby improving their glycolipid metabolism.

Renal metastasis from differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is uncommon and is hard to be distinguished from primary renal cell carcinoma. There is no consensus on diagnosis and treatment, and decisions about surgery and 131I therapy doses usually depend on experience. To better understand clinical characteristics and current treatment status, this study systematically reviews existing studies, exploring epidemiological features, clinical symptoms, imaging findings (including lesions characteristics across various imaging modalities), therapeutic strategies, and prognosis of DTC renal metastases, providing evidence-based references for clinical practice.

Objective:To explore the molecular mechanism by which the methionine adenosyltransferase 2A (MAT2A)/β-catenin/zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1)/epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway regulates neural tube defect (NTD) through intracellular S-adenosylmethionine (SAM).Methods:A mouse NTD model was induced using the SAM metabolic disorder inhibitor ethionine. Eighty specific pathogen-free C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: a normal group (36 mice), an ethionine group (46 mice), and an ethionine+SAM group (44 mice). Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), ethionine, and ethionine+SAM were respectively injected intraperitoneally on embryonic day 7.5 (E7.5), and the mice were sacrificed on E10.5. Embryonic tissues were collected, and the morphology of embryos in each group was observed under a stereomicroscope. The interaction between ethionine and MAT2A was analyzed using Autodock software. The expression levels of MAT2A, β-catenin, ZEB1, and EMT-related proteins in the brain tissues of embryos from the three groups were measured using immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Variance analysis was used for intergroup comparisons.Results:(1) Autodock analysis results showed that MAT2A binds to ethionine through covalent bonds, exhibiting a complementary effect, thereby accelerating the expression of MAT2A. (2) After successful construction of the NTD model, normal embryos were plump with well-developed brains. NTD embryos showed delayed development, obvious anencephaly, unclosed neural tubes, and asymmetry. (3) The levels of SAM and SAH in the embryonic tissues of the ethionine group were significantly lower than those in the normal group (1 737.56±95.64 vs. 872.33±205.11, and 89.17±9.50 vs. 51.25±9.48, respectively). The SAM and SAH levels in the ethionine+SAM group was 1 197.00±222.27 and 66.61±12.25, significantly higher than those in the ethionine group ( P<0.017). Compared with the normal group and the ethionine+SAM group, the expression of MAT2A mRNA in the embryonic brain tissue of the ethionine group was significantly upregulated (1.00±0.00, 1.59±0.52, and 2.42±0.53, respectively, F=49.64, P<0.001; pairwise comparisons between groups P<0.017). (4) Compared with the normal group, the expression of Ctnnb1 in the ethionine group was reduced, and the expression of Ctnnb1 in the ethionine+SAM group was higher than that in the ethionine group (1.00±0.00, 0.38±0.16, and 0.76±0.10, respectively, F=149.03, P<0.001; pairwise comparisons between groups P<0.017). (5) The expression of ZEB1 in the ethionine group was higher than that in the normal group and the ethionine+SAM group (2.91±0.55, 1.00±0.00, and 1.61±0.20, respectively, F=150.01, P<0.001; pairwise comparisons between groups P<0.017). (6) The expression levels of E-cadherin and Vimentin in the ethionine group were lower than those in the normal group. In contrast, the expression of N-cadherin was higher than that in the normal group. After SAM supplementation, the expression levels of E-cadherin and Vimentin were upregulated, and the expression level of N-cadherin was downregulated (0.54±0.12, 1.00±0.00, and 0.72±0.14, respectively, F=87.44; 0.53±0.17, 1.00±0.00, and 0.76±0.09, F=87.44; 3.11±0.53, 1.00±0.00, and 2.13±0.56, F=95.54; all P<0.001; pairwise comparisons within the same index group P<0.017]). Conclusions:Ethionine promotes the expression of MAT2A, leading to reduced SAM production. Ethionine regulates the level of ZEB1 by increasing MAT2A and inhibits the EMT process to interfere with methionine cycle metabolism, ultimately resulting in NTD.

The proportions of postoperative adjuvant therapy were 8.82%(21/238), 41.78%(89/213), 39.18%(143/365) in patients of low risk, moderate risk, high risk. Of 578 patients with moderate to high risk, the proportion of postoperative adjuvant therapy was 15.15%(5/33) in 2011, 14.71%(10/68)in 2012, 22.45%(11/49) in 2013, 29.09%(16/55) in 2014, 41.38%(24/58) in 2015, 46.15%(24/52) in 2016, 32.81%(21/64)in 2017, 60.00%(45/75) in 2018, 60.42%(29/48) in 2019, 61.84%(47/76) in 2020, respectively. Of 253 patients underwent postoperative adjuvant therapy, 247 cases received imatinib had 6 cases received sunitinib. (3) Comparison of clinicopathological characteristics of GIST with non-gastric origin and gastric origin. Of 847 patients, 262 cases had non-gastric origin and 585 cases had gastric origin. There were significant differences in gender, the number of tumor, tumor maximum diameter, Ki-67 index, risk classification of NIH, and R 0 resection between the two groups ( χ2=8.62, 8.40, 12.97, 6.57, Z=-6.15, χ2=17.19, P<0.05). (4) Analysis of influencing factors for recurrence-free survival rate in GIST patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that the year of initial diagnosis, primary site, tumor maximum diameter, mitotic image, risk classification of NIH, R 0 resection, genetic testing and postoperative adjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing recurrence-free survival rate in GIST patients with initial surgical resection ( hazard ratio=0.58, 0.61, 2.00, 1.71, 5.81, 2.56, 0.65, 0.38, 95% confidence interval as 0.39-0.85, 0.45-0.83, 1.46-2.74, 1.24-2.35, 3.16-10.69, 1.63-4.02, 0.46-0.94, 0.25-0.56, P<0.05). Conclusions:GIST with initial surgical resection is common located in stomach, with high positive rate in CD117 and Dog-1. The number of people undergoing genetic testing and targeted therapy for GIST is increasing year by year. There are significant differ-ences in clinicopathological characteristics between GIST with non-gastric origin and gastric origin. The year of initial diagnosis, primary site, tumor maximum diameter, mitotic image, risk classifica-tion of NIH, R 0 resection, genetic testing and postoperative adjuvant therapy are independent factors influencing recurrence-free survival rate in GIST patients with initial surgical resection.

Objective To analyze the adolescent tuberculosis reported in Haikou region between 2018 and 2021 and factors influencing the outcome. Methods The data on adolescent tuberculosis cases reported in Tuberculosis Information Management System in the Haikou Regional Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (RCDC) from 2018 to 2021 were collected. A follow-up survey was carried out until 31 December 2022. The changes in reported incidence of adolescent tuberculosis in Haikou was analyzed, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to identify independent factors influencing the outcome of adolescent tuberculosis. Results A total of 265 cases of tuberculosis in adolescents were reported between 2018 and 2021, of which 55 were reported in 2018, 74 in 2019, 67 in 2020, and 69 in 2021. The total number of reported cases of tuberculosis was 140 among male adolescents, which was slightly higher than 125 among female adolescents. The number of reported cases of tuberculosis was 134 in adolescents ≥15 years of age and 131 in adolescents <15 years of age. No statistically significant difference was reported between good outcome group and poor outcome group in age, gender, place of residence, nationality, and domicile place (P>0.05), whereas difference was found in the history of tuberculosis between two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model denoted that retreated tuberculosis (HR: 2.172, 95%CI: 1.483-3.007), complicating underlying disease (HR: 1.451, 95%CI: 1.080-1.985), and number of sputum smears (HR: 2.617, 95%CI: 1.531-3.458) were the risk factors for adverse outcomes in adolescent tuberculosis. Conclusion From 2018 to 2021, the number of reported adolescents of pulmonary tuberculosis in Haikou increased, suggesting that the management and prevention of adolescents should be strengthened to improve the prognosis rate of adolescents.
