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.

Aim To investigate the anti-Zika virus(ZIKV)mechanism of diterpenoid compound 9 from Euphorbia helioscopia in vitro.Methods The cytotox-icity of compound 9 was evaluated using the CCK-8 as-say.A ZIKV-infected Vero cell model was established,and the antiviral activity was assessed through RT-qPCR,plaque assay,Western blot,and immunofluores-cence.Furthermore,the mechanism of action was elu-cidated using multi-cell line validation,nanoparticle tracking analysis,cellular thermal shift assay,and mo-lecular docking.Results In Vero cells,compound 9 exhibited an EC50 of(3.95±0.15)μmol·L-1 and a CC50 of(272.12±8.56)μmol·L-1,demonstrating significantly higher antiviral efficacy than the positive control drug ribavirin(RBV).Its virus inactivation effect was time-dependent and could significantly re-duce viral load and plaque formation.Studies revealed that compound 9 altered the physicochemical properties of ZIKV particles,including reducing surface charge and increasing particle size distribution.Additionally,it significantly enhanced the thermal stability of the prM protein.Molecular docking analysis indicated that compound 9 formed a high-affinity interaction with the prM protein(binding energy:-38.52 kJ·mol-1)and stabilized its structure through hydrophobic interac-tions.Conclusion Compound 9 exerts in vitro anti-ZIKV activity by directly inactivating the virus,disrup-ting viral particle integrity,and targeting the prM pro-tein.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effects of hyperoxia on the expression of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 1 (NMDAR1) and its synapse-associated molecules, including cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R), postsynaptic density 95 (PSD95), and synapsin (SYN), in the hippocampus of neonatal rats. METHODS: One-day-old Sprague-Dawley neonatal rats were randomly divided into a hyperoxia group and a control group (n=8 per group). The hyperoxia group was exposed to 80% ± 5% oxygen continuously, while the control group was exposed to room air, for 7 days. At 1, 3, and 7 days after hyperoxia exposure, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to observe histopathological changes in the brain. The expression levels of NMDAR1, CB1R, PSD95, and SYN proteins and mRNAs in the hippocampus were detected by immunohistochemistry, Western blotting, and quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS: After 7 days of hyperoxia exposure, the hyperoxia group showed decreased neuronal density and disordered arrangement in brain tissue. Compared with the control group, after 1 day of hyperoxia exposure, CB1R mRNA and both NMDAR1 and CB1R protein expression in the hyperoxia group were significantly downregulated, while SYN protein expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.05). After 3 days, mRNA expression of NMDAR1, CB1R, and SYN was significantly decreased (P<0.05); NMDAR1 and CB1R protein expression was significantly downregulated (P<0.05), while PSD95 and SYN protein expression was significantly upregulated (P<0.05). After 7 days of hyperoxia, the protein expression of NMDAR1 and CB1R was significantly upregulated (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Continuous hyperoxia exposure induces time-dependent changes in the expression levels of NMDAR1 and its synapse-associated molecules in the hippocampus of neonatal rats.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of metallic stent implantation for the treatment of central airway malacia following lung transplantation.Methods:Clinical data of 14 recipients who underwent metallic stent implantation for central airway malacia after lung transplantation at Wuxi People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2023 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical symptoms, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale scores, Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) scores, and pulmonary function were evaluated before and 2 weeks after stent implantation. The incidence of post-implantation complications was recorded during follow-up.Results:Among the 14 recipients, 13 were male and 1 was female, with a mean age of (57.29±10.93) years (range: 27-71 years). All patients successfully underwent metallic stent placement in a single attempt, with no serious intraoperative complications. Clinical symptoms such as dyspnea improved significantly after stent implantation. Compared with pre-treatment values, mMRC scores decreased [3.00 (2.00, 4.00) vs 1.00 (1.00, 2.00), P<0.001], KPS scores increased [30.00 (10.00, 32.50) vs 80.00 (60.00, 90.00), P=0.001], and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV 1) improved [(1.25±0.42) L vs (1.74±0.38) L, P=0.006]. Postoperative complications included granulation tissue formation (7 cases), epithelialization within the stent (3 cases), and mucus plugging (4 cases). As of the last follow-up in September 2024, eight patients had their stents successfully removed, and one patient had died due to cytomegalovirus infection. Conclusions:Metallic stent implantation can significantly relieve clinical symptoms of central airway malacia after lung transplantation, improve quality of life, and shows a favorable safety profile.

Objective: To investigate the current status of milk tea consumption and its association with psychological distress among college students, so as to provide theoretial support for promoting the mental health of college students. Methods: From September to November 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 15 440 college students aged 17-24 from seven universities in Shanghai, Jiangxi, Hubei, and Shanxi. A self designed questionnaire and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used to assess milk tea consumption and psychological distress, respectively. The Mantel-Haenszel test was employed to analyze the trend of psychological distress at different levels of milk tea consumption. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between milk tea consumption and psychological distress, and the restricted cubic spline method was applied to explore the nonlinear relationship between milk tea consumption and symptoms of psychological distress. Results: The detection rate of psychological distress among college students was 59.6%. Univariate analysis indicated a significant trend association between milk tea consumption frequency ( χ 2 trend =42.33) and milk tea intake level ( χ 2 trend = 5.17 ) with psychological distress ( P <0.05). Binary Logistic regression models showed a positive association between different levels of milk tea consumption frequency and psychological distress [1-3 times (mild to moderate distress, OR =1.20,1.41), 4-5 times (mild to severe distress, OR =2.80,5.44,4.12), and ≥6 times (severe distress, OR =8.04); and milk tea intake level: 1-1 500 mL (severe distress, OR =1.35), >1 500- <3 000 mL (mild to moderate distress, OR =1.21, 1.35), ≥3 000 mL (mild to severe distress, OR =1.33,1.71,1.29)] ( P <0.05 ). The restricted cubic spline model showed a nonlinear association between milk tea intake and the risk of psychological distress ( F = 107.34 , P non linear <0.01, P overall <0.01). Conclusions High frequency and high volume milk tea consumption are associated with an increased risk of psychological distress among college students. Reducing the consumption behavior of college students milk tea is helpful to improve mental health.

Objective Naturally,Aedes albopictus carries both the A and B supergroups of Wolbachia strains,which are symbiotic bacteria that can influence the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases by inhibiting the ability of their host to transmit viruses or by reducing the population density of their host,and the strength of this effect is closely related to its density in host cells.In this study,an accurate qPCR-based method for detecting Wolbachia genotype and density in mosquitoes was established.Methods The wsp gene of Wolbachia carried by Ae.albopictus was cloned and sequenced,and specific primers for the non-conserved regions of the w AlbA and w AlbB wsp genes were designed.Results The application of this method showed great sensitivity and specificity.The primers did not cross-react between the two Wolbachia supergroups.Further,with this method,it was possible to detect decreases in Wolbachia density in host cells following treatment with tetracycline at different concentrations,and the optimal tetracycline treatment concentration was determined to be 0.1 mg/mL.Conclusion This method can provide technical supports for studies of the effects of Wolbachia on physiological reproduction and innate immunity in mosquitoes.

Objective To investigate the correlation between optimal placement depth(OPD)and physical measurement parameters in preterm infants receiving placement of peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)through the great saphenous vein(GSV),and to establish a predictive formula for OPD during the placement of PICC through the GSV.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the preterm infants who received the placement of PICC through the GSV in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from December 2022 to February 2024.According to the site of puncture[GSV of the knee joint(KJ)or the ankle joint(AJ)],they were divided into a GSV-KJ placement group(n=38)and a GSV-AJ placement group(n=33).The infants were measured in terms of body weight(BW),body length,the length of the upper and lower parts of the body,head circumference,and abdominal circumference at the time of placement.The Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between the above variables and OPD.A predictive formula was established for OPD in the placement of PICC via the GSV in preterm infants,and the predicted residual between the predicted depth and the ideal OPD was compared between the conventional predictive formula and the new predictive formula.Results The Pearson correlation analysis showed that PICC OPD was significantly positively correlated with BW,body length,the length of the upper and lower parts of the body,head circumference,and abdominal circumference in both the GSV-KJ placement group and GSV-AJ placement group(P<0.05),with the highest degree of correlation between OPD and BW.The univariate linear regression analysis showed a linear relationship between PICC OPD and BW in both groups.The predictive formulas for OPD were as follows:GSV-KJ PICC OPD(cm)=13.1+2.7×BW(kg)and GSV-AJ PICC OPD(cm)=13.4+6.0×BW(kg),and the new predictive formulas had a significantly lower predicted residual than the conventional predictive formula(P<0.05).Conclusions OPD for PICC through the GSV is positively correlated with BW,and the prediction results of the new predictive formula based on BW are closer to the ideal OPD.
