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.

OBJECTIVES: To assess short-term functional outcomes achieved by robot-assisted sacrocolpopexy for pelvic organ prolapse. METHODS: We retrospectively collected clinical and operative data for female patients who underwent either pure laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (a control group, =20) or robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (a study group, =20) between December 2017 and December 2018. The clinical indicators included age, gestational age, parity, the stage of pelvic organ prolapse. Perioperative data included operative time and total blood loss. Post-operative outcomes included hospital stay, the time of detaining urethral catheterization, and the restart of anal exhaust after surgery. At the same time, complications and quality of life were observed till 6 months after the surgery. RESULTS: There were no definitely differences in the perioperative data between the 2 groups. It is worth mentioning that robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy was superior in strict operative time. With a follow-up of 6 months, the study group's anatomic repair rate was 100% (20/20), while the control group was 95% (19/20). Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-short Form 20 (PFDI-20) and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire-short Form 7 (PFIQ-7) were used to evaluate patients' quality of life. There was no significant difference in the scores between the study group and the control group before and 6 months after surgery. Only the data of the PFDI-20 questionnaires at 1 month after operation were statistically significant, and in the control group was larger than that in the study group, showing that robotic surgery can recover faster than laparoscopy, and the quality of life can be improved quickly. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is a safe and reliable technique, faster than laparoscopy in recovery and has a short-term effect.

Objective To find out the display rules of the key part of the proximal femur and fracture line and obtain the best viewing position and angle by placing the femoral neck at different positions and different angles through X-ray.Methods Six dry specimens of cadaveric femur were from Department of Anatomy,Tianjin Medical University.Three models of complete femoral neck model,tin line fracture model and steel saw fracture model were made respectively.The tin line fracture model was based on the Pauwells angle,using the tin wire(1mm) wrapped around the femoral necks to make three kinds of fracture models (Pauwells angle 30°,50° and 70°);steel saw fracture model was made by hacksaw,then reposition in situ,to make three kinds of fracture models same as the tin line fracture model.The projection manner included different positions and different angles,different projection positions include:parallel with the femoral shaft,perpendicular to the femoral shaft,parallel to the femoral neck and perpendicular to the femoral neck;different projection angles included:from 40°,30°,20°,15°,10° and 5° in the head side to 5°,10°,15 °,20 °,30 °and 40° in the foot side and vertical angle 0°.For the complete femoral neck model,we observed the imaging characteristics of the key parts of the femoral head and neck (tension trabecular bone and pressure trabecular bone;lesser trochanter;intertrochanteric line;length of neck of femur and femoral head shape),looking for the display rules,and obtained the best viewing position.For tin line fracture model and steel saw fracture model,we tried to find the best display angle and position by the different projection position and angle.Results The results of complete femoral neck model:Lesser trochanter:in perpendicular to the femoral shaft position showed the best,gradually increased with the foot side deflection;tension trabecular bone and pressure trabecular bone:in parallel with the femoral shaft position 10°on the head side;intertrochanteric line:no difference between parallel with the femoral shaft with perpendicular to the femoral shaft;Femoral neck shape:deflect to both sides,head of femur was out of shape.The results of tin line fracture model:the Pauwells angle 30° model showed the best position in parallel with the femoral shaft position 20° on the head side;the Pauwells angle 50° model showed the best position in parallel with the femoral shaft position 5° on the head side;the Pauwells angle 70° model showed the best position in parallel with the femoral shaft position 10° on the head side.The results of steel saw fracture model were the same with the tin line fracture model.Conclusion There was the best viewing angles and positions for the key anatomy of the proximal femur and different Pauwells angle classification of femoral neck fracture.The image doctor could make more accurate projection,according to the different types of femoral neck fracture.

This paper discusses the relationship between stimulating pulse width and the threshold of electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP). Firstly, the rheobase and chronaxy from strength-duration curve of nerve fiber was computed using the shepherd's experiment results. Secondly, based on the relationship between ECAP and the action potential of nerve fiber, a mathematical expression to describe the relationship between stimulating pulse width and ECAP threshold was proposed. Thirdly, the parameters were obtained and the feasibility was proved to the expression with the results of experiment using guinea pigs. Research result showed that with ECAP compared to the action potential of nerve fiber, their threshold function relationship with stimulating pulse width was similar, and rheobase from the former was an order smaller in the magnitude than the latter, but the chronaxy was close to each other. These findings may provide meaningful guidance to clinical ECAP measurement and studying speech processing strategies of cochlear implant.

Objective To assess the efficacy of stone fragmentation and clearance of this new intracorporeal ultrasound lithotripter (CQS-01) compared with currently available ultrasound units (EMS-Ⅲ/Ⅳ).Methods Twenty phantom stones composed of dental gypsum were randomly divided into four groups,and CQS-01 ultrasound lithotripter (70％ power and 70％ duty factor),EMS-Ⅲ ultrasound lithotripter (70％ power and 70％ duty factor),EMS-Ⅳ ultrasound lithotripter (type A,70％ power and 70％ duty factor) and EMS-Ⅳ ultrasound lithotripter (type B,70％ power and 100％ duty factor) were used to fragment and removepbantom stones.The mean stone breakdown time and fragment removal time and stone fragmental sizes for the standard ultrasound devices were compared to determine the completeness and efficiency of stone fragmentation and removal.Results The average time for stone breakdown was 7.4 ± 1.9 s,9.4 ± 1.6 s,82.2 ± 12.6 s and 51.4 ± 18.7 s,respectively.There was no significant difference between CQS-01 and EMS-Ⅲ (P ＞ 0.05),but there was significant difference between CQS-01 and EMS-Ⅳ (A or B) (P ＜ 0.001).The average time for stone clearance using the ultrasound devices was 387.8 ± 68.0 s,41 1.6 ± 57.6 s,568.0 ± 119.1 s and 383.6 ± 75.6 s,respectively.In addition,the average size of the largest fragments removed was the same among the groups (＜ 3 mm).Conclusion The ultrasound capabilities in a newly developed lithotriter (CQS-01) exhibited the same ability to fragment and clear phantom stones compared with standard ultrasound devices.

This article introduces the mechanisms and clinical implications of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of malignant tumor, and discusses the efficacy,limitations, and prospects of this technology. Dispite the recent advances, the clinical application of HIFU is still limited. Multiple trials are currently underway worldwide to determine its efficacy.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of high intensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)in the treatment of primary liver cancer.Methods A total of 106 patients with primary liver cancer were divided into two groups:50 cases were treated with TACE,and the other 56 were treated with combination of HIFU and TACE.The changes of AFP levels and the size of tumors after three months treatment were analyzed and compared with each other.The survival rates for one,two and three years were calculated with Kaplan-Meier method and compared between the two groups.Results In the two groups,AFP decreased significantly after treatment,but the combined group was superior to the other in AFP decrease.In the combined group,the 1-,2-and 3-year survival rates were higher than those in the TACE group with 82.3%,60.8%and 39.2% vs 68.0%,42.6%and 21.0%respectively(P＜0.01).No serious complications were seen,such as burn of skin,bleeding,gastrointestinal perforation. Conclusion The use of HIFU combined with TACE in the treatment of patients with primary liver cancers is feasible and safe.The combined group is superior to simple TACE for the management of primary liver cancers,and the former is more effective in decreasing AFP level and improving survival rates.
