Abstract In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective:To study the predictive role of tumor burden score (TBS) for tumor recurrence after radical resection in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:Clinical data of 202 patients with HCC undergoing radical surgery at the 900th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, between January 2015 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed, including 128 males and 74 females, aged (53.66±11.93) years old. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the accuracy of TBS in predicting postoperative tumor recurrence. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors influencing postoperative tumor recurrence. A nomogram was established and validated using calibration curves and the C-index. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was utilized to compare survival differences between the two patient groups.Results:The area under the ROC curve for TBS in predicting postoperative tumor recurrence in HCC patients was 0.779 (95% CI: 0.717-0.842), with an optimal cutoff value of 6.2. Univariate analysis revealed that factors such as hepatitis B virus DNA level >500 IU/ml, larger maximum tumor dia-meter, and TBS>6.2 were significant risk factors for postoperative tumor recurrence (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis further indicated that TBS>6.2 ( OR=3.60, 95% CI: 1.081-12.012, P=0.037) and maximum tumor diameter ( OR=1.240, 95% CI: 1.034-1.487, P=0.020) were independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence. Based on these risk factors, a nomogram model was established, achieving a C-index of 0.788. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed a better postoperative overall survival and recurrence-free survival of the low TBS group compared to those of the high TBS group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:TBS can serve as a predictive indicator for the recurrence after radical resection in patients with HCC. Both TBS and tumor size are independent risk factors for postoperative recurrence. The nomogram model can be used for predicting recurrence following radical resection in HCC patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of the novel approach,radical resection of the retroperitoneal lipo-lymphatic layer (RRRLLL),in the surgical treatment of resectable pancreatic head cancer.Methods:Between June 2020 and June 2022,a total of 221 patients with pancreatic head cancer underwent surgical treatment using the RRRLLL approach(RRRLLL group),while 107 patients received traditional surgical treatment(traditional group) in five high-volume pancreatic centers in China. Data from surgical technique and clinical perioperative outcomes,including lymph node harvested,surgical time,and complications,were analyzed. The RRRLLL group consisted of 144 males and 77 females with an age of (67.5±9.0) years(range:41.3 to 81.1 years). The traditional group included 71 males and 36 females,with an age of (66.3±8.1) years(range:45.1 to 79.2 years). Statistical analysis was performed using the K-S test, Z test,or χ 2 test, respectively. Results:Pancreaticoduodenectomy was performed successfully in all patients,achieving R0 resection. RRRLLL group surgery required mobilization of retroperitoneal adipose and lymphatic tissues starting from the right edge of the inferior vena cava and extending to the left side,up to the superior mesenteric artery,down to the inferior mesenteric artery,and left to the left side of the aorta,including the perineural and lymphatic tissues around the superior mesenteric artery and the sheath of the mesenteric artery. However,the traditional group did not include the areas mentioned above in the scope of clearance. There were no statistically significant differences between the RRRLLL group and the traditional group in terms of age,sex,tumor size,T stage,and vascular invasion (all P>0.05). However,the number of lymph nodes harvested in the RRRLLL group was significantly higher at 28.7±9.0 (range: 18 to 39) compared to 18.2±8.0 (range: 12 to 21) in the traditional group ( Z=-10.691, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the number of positive lymph nodes,N staging,and postoperative complications between the two groups. Conclusion:The RRRLLL approach improved lymph node dissection compared to the traditional approach,potentially leading to reduced recurrence rates.

Objective:To compare the differences in the prevalence of mild micro-hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) among patients with cirrhosis by using the psychometric hepatic encephalopathy score (PHES) and the Stroop smartphone application (Encephal App) test.Methods:This prospective, multi-center, real-world study was initiated by the National Clinical Medical Research Center for Infectious Diseases and the Portal Hypertension Alliance and registered with International ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05140837). 354 cases of cirrhosis were enrolled in 19 hospitals across the country. PHES (including digital connection tests A and B, digital symbol tests, trajectory drawing tests, and serial management tests) and the Stroop test were conducted in all of them. PHES was differentiated using standard diagnostic criteria established by the two studies in China and South Korea. The Stroop test was evaluated based on the criteria of the research and development team. The impact of different diagnostic standards or methods on the incidence of MHE in patients with cirrhosis was analyzed. Data between groups were differentiated using the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and χ2 test. A kappa test was used to compare the consistency between groups. Results:After PHES, the prevalence of MHE among 354 cases of cirrhosis was 78.53% and 15.25%, respectively, based on Chinese research standards and Korean research normal value standards. However, the prevalence of MHE was 56.78% based on the Stroop test, and the differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups were statistically significant (kappa = -0.064, P < 0.001). Stratified analysis revealed that the MHE prevalence in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C was 74.14%, 83.33%, and 88.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Chinese researchers, while the MHE prevalence rates in three groups of patients with Child-Pugh classes A, B, and C were 8.29%, 23.53%, and 38.24%, respectively, according to the normal value standards of Korean researchers. Furthermore, the prevalence rates of MHE in the three groups of patients with Child-Pugh grades A, B, and C were 52.68%, 58.82%, and 73.53%, respectively, according to the Stroop test standard. However, among the results of each diagnostic standard, the prevalence of MHE showed an increasing trend with an increasing Child-Pugh grade. Further comparison demonstrated that the scores obtained by the number connection test A and the number symbol test were consistent according to the normal value standards of the two studies in China and South Korea ( Z = -0.982, -1.702; P = 0.326, 0.089), while the other three sub-tests had significant differences ( P < 0.001). Conclusion:The prevalence rate of MHE in the cirrhotic population is high, but the prevalence of MHE obtained by using different diagnostic criteria or methods varies greatly. Therefore, in line with the current changes in demographics and disease spectrum, it is necessary to enroll a larger sample size of a healthy population as a control. Moreover, the establishment of more reliable diagnostic scoring criteria will serve as a basis for obtaining accurate MHE incidence and formulating diagnosis and treatment strategies in cirrhotic populations.

Existing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-related databases are still insufficient in data standardization, integrity and precision, and need to be updated urgently. Herein, an Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicine version 2.0 (ETCM v2.0, http://www.tcmip.cn/ETCM2/front/#/) was constructed as the latest curated database hosting 48,442 TCM formulas recorded by ancient Chinese medical books, 9872 Chinese patent drugs, 2079 Chinese medicinal materials and 38,298 ingredients. To facilitate the mechanistic research and new drug discovery, we improved the target identification method based on a two-dimensional ligand similarity search module, which provides the confirmed and/or potential targets of each ingredient, as well as their binding activities. Importantly, five TCM formulas/Chinese patent drugs/herbs/ingredients with the highest Jaccard similarity scores to the submitted drugs are offered in ETCM v2.0, which may be of significance to identify prescriptions/herbs/ingredients with similar clinical efficacy, to summarize the rules of prescription use, and to find alternative drugs for endangered Chinese medicinal materials. Moreover, ETCM v2.0 provides an enhanced JavaScript-based network visualization tool for creating, modifying and exploring multi-scale biological networks. ETCM v2.0 may be a major data warehouse for the quality marker identification of TCMs, the TCM-derived drug discovery and repurposing, and the pharmacological mechanism investigation of TCMs against various human diseases.

Objective:To assess maxillary sagittal and vertical as well as upper airway changes immediately after mini-screw assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARME) in class Ⅲ patients.Method:A consecutive sample of 48 class Ⅲ patients with maxillary transverse deficiency who visited the Department of Orthodontics, School & Hospital of Stomatology, Wuhan University between January 2013 and March 2023 was retrospectively collected. The sample was comprised of 24 growing patients (cervical vertebra maturation, CVM 1-4) and 24 nongrowing patients (CVM 5-6). Cone-beam CT scans before (T0) and immediately after MARME (T1) were imported into Dolphin Imaging software, and then voxel-based superimposition was conducted on the basis of the anterior cranial base. Sagittal and vertical changes of the maxillary landmarks (A, ANS, PNS, UI and Spr), as well as upper airway changes after MARME were measured on multiplanar reconstruction views. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was employed to analyze the changes after MARME. Mann-Whitney U test was employed to compare the changes between growing and non-growing patients. Results:Some class Ⅲ patients exhibited significant maxillary sagittal and vertical changes immediately after MARME. The amount of changes in midpalatal suture was 4.03 (2.99, 4.87) mm in growing patients, significantly larger than that in non-growing patients [2.27 (1.49, 3.64) mm] ( U=3.18, P=0.001). In growing class Ⅲ patients, the forward changes of A, ANS, PNS, UI and Spr were 0.35 (0.06, 0.80), 0.48 (0.11, 0.88), 0.48 (0.13, 0.99), 0.53 (-0.33, 1.04) and 0.40 (0.03, 0.69) mm, respectively. Vertically, the downward changes of A, ANS, PNS, UI and Spr were 1.45 (0.99, 2.13), 1.18 (0.61, 1.95), 1.30 (0.91, 1.96), 1.20 (0.71, 1.83) and 1.30 (0.81, 1.73) mm, respectively. All changes were significantly different from 0 after treatment ( P<0.05). In nongrowing patients, PNS moved forward by 0.18 (-0.08, 0.39) mm while other sagittal changes were statistically insignificant ( P>0.05); vertically, the downward changes of A, ANS, PNS, UI and Spr were 0.90 (0.51, 1.39), 0.73 (0.41, 1.21), 0.70 (0.55, 1.08), 0.60 (0.36, 1.19) and 0.70 (0.55, 1.23) mm, respectively. Significant immediate increase of the nasopharynx volume and nasal width was obtained in both groups ( P<0.05), and the changes of oropharynx volume and minimum cross-sectional area (MCA) presented as statistically insignificant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For growing class Ⅲ patients, besides transverse expansion, significant forward and downward changes of maxilla were obtained immediately after MARME. For non-growing patients, significant downward changes were observed, while sagittal changes were negligible. The nasopharynx volume increased in both growing and nongrowing class Ⅲ patients immediately after MARME, whereas, the changes of oropharynx volume and MCA presented as statistically insignificant.

With the rapid changes in people's lifestyles, natural and social environments in recent years, the prevalence of chronic and non-communicable diseases in China and its related risk factors have also had tremendous changes. The epidemiological characteristics of chronic and non-communicable diseases and their risk factors vary throughout the country, and the impact of unique climate, diet and lifestyle in southern China on the incidence and prevalence of chronic and non-communicable chronic diseases remains to be elucidated. Therefore, large-scale cohort study is urgently needed to provide evidence for the etiological research and management of chronic and non-communicable chronic diseases in different areas, and for the national management strategy for major chronic and non-communicable diseases. The prospective cohort study of chronic and non-communicable diseases in general population in southern China was established in December 2017. The study recruited permanent residents aged 35-74 years from both urban and rural areas in Guangdong, Hainan, Fujian Provinces and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. A big data platform of precision medicine which integrates health information with biological samples for long-term follow up has been established. A baseline database of 116 520 people aged (54.9±12.5) years, including 71 077 women (61.0%), has been established. Collecting questionnaire survey data, physical examination data, and biological samples. This paper briefly introduces the concept, design and progress of the prospective cohort study of chronic and non-communicable diseases in general population in southern China.

Objective:To evaluate extrathecal vs. intrathecal approach of Glisson's pedicle in laparoscopic hepatectomy of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods:Clinical data of 96 HCC patients receiving laparoscopic hepatectomy at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, the 900 Hospital of the United Logistics Force from Jan 2019 to Jun 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Thrity-six cases were treated with extrathecal approach of Glisson's pedicle and 60 cases were by intrathecal approach.All those 60 undergoing intrathecal approach cases were matched by 1∶1 propensity score matching, and the caliper value was 0.02. The duration of surgery, blocking-time of hepatoduodenal ligament, intraoperative blood loss, indexes of the liver function and the prothrombin time on the 1st day of the postoperative period, rate of the postoperative complications, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative survival and recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results:After propensity score matching, 32 cases in each group were identified. The operation time of the extrathecal group was shorter than that of the intrathecal group [(207.5±77.4) minutes vs. (248.6±74.7) minutes, P=0.03], the intraoperative bleeding volume was less than that of the intrathecal group [(150.0(100.0, 300.0) ml vs. 250.0(150.0, 587.5) ml, P=0.01], and the albumin level was higher on the 1st day after the surgery [(36.5±3.2) g/L vs. (34.3±3.2) g/L, P<0.01]. There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative liver function, coagulation, complications, hospitalization time, all over survival rate between the two groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Extrathecal approach for Glisson's pedicle is safe and feasible in laparoscopic hepatectomy for HCC, with simpler surgical procedure, less intraoperative trauma.

Objective:To observe the effect of scleral buckling surgery (SB) in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with subretinal hyperplasia (SRP).Methods:A retrospective case study. From January 2016 to December 2018, 31 patients with old RRD with SRP who were treated with SB in Department of Ophthalmology, Central Theater Command General Hospital were included in the study. There were 18 males with 20 eyes and 13 females with 15 eyes. Age was (26.5±8.7) years. The course of disease was (12.6±10.3) months. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) test was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity at the time of recording. Retinal detachment ranges ≤2, >2-<3, ≥3 quadrants were 10 (28.6%, 10/35), 20 (57.1%, 20/35), and 5 (14.3%, 5/35) eyes, respectively. All affected eyes were treated with SB. Among them, 22 eyes (63.0%, 22/35) underwent local Scleral buckling, 11 eyes (31.4%, 11/35) underwent combined encircling buckle, and 2 eyes (5.7%, 2/35) underwent encircling buckle alone. Subretinal fluid drainage was performed in 33 eyes (94.3%, 33/35). The mean follow-up time was 18.2 months. Relevant examinations were performed with the same equipment and methods before operation to observe BCVA and retinal reattachment. Paired sample t test was used to compare logMAR BCVA before and after operation. Results:At the last follow-up, retinal reattachment occurred in 32 eyes (91.4%, 32/35) of 35 eyes. The retina did not reset in 3 eyes (8.6%, 3/35). logMAR BCVA of affected eye was 0.67±0.29 (finger counting-1.0). The difference of logMAR BCVA before and after operation was statistically significant ( t=5.133, P=0.036). In 35 eyes, visual acuity improved, stabilized and decreased in 19 (54.3%, 19/35), 13 (37.1%, 13/35) and 3 (8.6%, 3/35) eyes, respectively. Ten months after surgery, the silicone tape was exposed and infected 1 eye. After the silicone tape was removed, the infection subsided and the retina was in place. There were no intraocular hemorrhage, vitreoretinal impaction, endophthalmitis and other complications during and after operation. Conclusion:SB treatment of RRD with SRP can achieve good retinal reposition and improve visual acuity to some extent.
