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.

The paper reports a 32-year-old female acute myeloid leukemia patient who developed graft-versus-host disease after paternal hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which subsequently led to renal thrombotic microangiopathy. She subsequently required a kidney transplant from the same donor 5 years later due to renal failure. Considering that both the bone marrow and kidney were from the same donor and the recovery of renal function was favorable, immunosuppressive therapy was discontinued after a short course of anti-rejection treatment, with maintained stable kidney function. This case suggests that under the condition of high chimerism, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and kidney transplantation from the same donor can achieve immune tolerance, potentially improving solid organ transplantation success rate. The findings provide a novel therapeutic approach for solid organ transplantation following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective:Differences between randomized controlled trial (RCT) results and real world study (RWS) results may not represent a true efficacy-effectiveness gap because efficacy-effectiveness gap estimates may be biased when RWS and RCT differ significantly in study design or when there is bias in RWS result estimation. Secondly, when there is an efficacy- effectiveness gap, it should not treat every patient the same way but assess the real-world factors influencing the intervention's effectiveness and identify the subgroup likely to achieve the desired effect.Methods:Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP) were searched up to 31 st December 2022 with detailed search strategies. A scoping review method was used to integrate and qualitatively describe the included literature inductively. Results:Ten articles were included to discuss how to use the RCT research protocol as a template to develop the corresponding RWS research protocol. Moreover, based on correctly estimating the efficacy-effectiveness gap, evaluate the intervention effect in the patient subgroup to confirm the subgroup that can achieve the expected benefit-risk ratio to bridge the efficacy-effectiveness gap.Conclusion:Using real-world data to simulate key features of randomized controlled clinical trial study design can improve the authenticity and effectiveness of study results and bridge the efficacy-effectiveness gap.

Objective:Randomized controlled trials (RCT) usually have strict implementation criteria. The included subjects' characteristics of the conditions for the intervention implementation are quite different from the actual clinical environment, resulting in discrepancies between the risk-benefit of interventions in actual clinical use and the risk-benefit shown in RCT. Therefore, some methods are needed to enhance the extrapolation of RCT results to evaluate the real effects of drugs in real people and clinical practice settings.Methods:Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP) were searched up to 31 st December 2022 with detailed search strategies. A scoping review method was used to integrate and qualitatively describe the included literature inductively. Results:A total of 12 articles were included. Three methods in the included literature focused on: ①improving the design of traditional RCT to increase population representation; ②combining RCT Data with real-world data (RWD) for analysis;③calibrating RCT results according to real-world patient characteristics.Conclusions:Improving the design of RCT to enhance the population representation can improve the extrapolation of the results of RCT. Combining RCT data with RWD can give full play to the advantages of data from different sources; the results of the RCT were calibrated against real-world population characteristics so that the effects of interventions in real-world patient populations can be predicted.

ObjectiveTo explore the research status and trends of cohort studies on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） efficacy evaluation from 2017 to 2022 and provide ideas and references for research in this field. MethodsSix databases including Pubmed， Web of Science， Embase， Scopus， Cochrane Library and CNKI were searched from January 1st， 2017 to December 31st， 2022. The total number of annual publications， journals， highly cited literatures， and keywords were quantitatively and visually analyzed by Bibliometrix. ResultsA total of 328 articles were included， which were published in 141 journals. The number of articles published in this field showed an overall upward trend， and retrospective cohort studies （282 papers， 85.98%） accounted for the largest proportion. A total of 151 cohort studies （46.04%） were conducted based on the database and showed an overall upward trend. The subjects were mainly patients with tumors （77 papers， 23.48%）， and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases （64 papers， 19.51%）. The top 3 highly cited literatures mainly explore the association between TCM and survival outcome and quality of life in patients with malignant tumors. Fourteen and twenty-five high-frequency keywords were included in Chinese and English literature respectively， which formed 3 clusters such as research methods， statistical analysis and diseases. ConclusionIt was the current status to focus on retrospective cohort studies and focus on patients with tumors or cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Using observational database to conduct cohort studies of TCM efficacy evaluation could be the future research direction.

Objective:To construct a prediction model for neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury and validate its effectiveness.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted on the clinical data of 381 patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury admitted to the Third Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2017 to December 2022, including 311 males and 70 females, aged 12-86 years [(55.1±12.9)years]. A total of 121 patients (31.8%) were complicated with neurogenic shock. The patients were randomly divided into training set ( n=267) and validation set ( n=114) with a ratio of 7∶3. The training set was divided into neurogenic shock group ( n=81) and non-neurogenic shock group ( n=186) according to whether they were complicated with neurogenic shock. The general data, clinical data, laboratory indicators and imaging data of the patients were collected. Univariate analysis was used to determine differences in the aforementioned indicators between the neurogenic shock group and non-neurogenic shock group in the training set. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the predictors for neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury, and regression equation was constructed. A nomogram prediction model based on the regression equation was plotted with R programming language. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of the training set and validation set were plotted, when the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to determine the discriminability of the model. The calibration of the model was assessed with calibration curves. The clinical applicability of the model was evaluated by the decision curve analysis (DCA). Results:The univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade, tracheal intubation, serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission, intramedullary lesion length (IMLL), maximum spinal cord compression (MSCC), increased signal intensity (ISI), and highest damaged segment between the neurogenic shock group and non-neurogenic shock group in the training set ( P<0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that AISA grade (grade C vs. grade A: OR=0.13, 95% CI 0.03, 0.59, P<0.01; grade D vs.grade A: OR=0.04, 95% CI 0.01, 0.28, P<0.01), serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission ( OR=0.75, 95% CI 0.65, 0.86, P<0.01), IMLL ( OR=2.71, 95% CI 1.68, 4.38, P<0.01), ISI (grade 2 vs.grade 0: OR=5.62, 95% CI 1.07, 29.48, P<0.05), and highest damaged segment ( OR=0.49, 95% CI 0.29, 0.83, P<0.01) were predictors for neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. Based on the 5 forementioned variables, the regression equation was constructed as follows: Logit[ P/(1- P)]=10.99-1.06×＂AISA grade＂-0.29×＂serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission＂+1.04×＂IMLL＂+0.89×＂ISI＂-0.74×＂highest damaged segment＂. In the prediction model constructed based on the equation, the AUC values of the training set and validation set were 0.97 (95% CI 0.97, 0.99) and 0.95 (95% CI 0.91, 0.99). Calibration curves of the training set and validation set demonstrated the prediction curve roughly overlapped with the reference curve and the mean absolute errors of the two sets were 0.013 and 0.050. DCA results showed that the net benefit rate of patients was greater than 0 when the threshold probability ranged from 0% to 97% for the training set and from 0% to 100% for the validation set. Conclusion:The prediction model based on the AISA grade, serum albumin concentration within 24 hours on admission, IMLL, ISI, and highest damaged segment demonstrates good discriminability, calibration and clinical applicability in predicting neurogenic shock in patients with traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of individualized preconditioning in ABO-incompatible living donor kidney transplantation.Methods A series of 36 living donor kidney transplants across a wide range of ABO blood group incompatibilities using individualized preconditioning protocols were performed from September 2014 to June 2017.Preconditioning included oral immunosuppressants with or without the administration of rituximab,PE or DFPP.Medical records and electronic databases were reviewed for isoagglutinin titers,patient and graft survivals,graft function,rejections,infections as well as surgical complications.Results Of 30 ABO blood group incompatibilities,there were 6 cases of AB to A,2 cases of AB to B,4 cases of A to B,3 cases of B to A,13 cases of A to O (13),and 8 cases of B to O.Median initial ABO antibody titers were 1∶32 (1∶2-1∶256) (IgM) and 1 ∶ 8 (0-1∶64) (IgG),respectively.Individualized preconditioning included oral immunosuppressants alone (10 cases),oral immunosuppressants + PE (4 cases),oral immunosuppressants + PE + DFPP (1 case),oral immunosuppressants + rituximab + PE (16 cases),oral immunosuppressants + rituximab + DFPP (2 cases),and oral immunosuppressants + rituximab + PE+ DFPP (3 cases).After individualized preconditioning,an acceptable ABO antibody titer (≤1 ∶ 16) was obtained on the day of transplantation.Median follow-up duration was 12 months (1-33).Graft and patient survival rate was 94.4％ (34/36) and 100％ (36/36) respectively.Median value of serum creatinine at one year posttransplantation was 89 μmol/L,and eGFR was (81.07 mL/min/1.73 m2).In total,there was one episode of urinary tract infection and upper gastrointestinal tract hemorrhage,two cases of hyperacute rejection (leading to graft loss),acutecelluar-mediated rejection,delayed graft function,bone marrow suppression and pneumonia,and 3 cases of acute antibody-mediated rejection and wound fat liquefaction,respectively.Conclusion Our initial experience indicates that individualized preconditioning protocol based on initial ABO antibody titers is safe and technically feasible,and leads to excellent short-term survival of ABOi living donor kidney transplantation.
