Objective:To assess the application effects of an energy-restricted diet combined with high-protein, high-dietary-fiber meal replacement powder and probiotics in overweight/obese adults.Methods:It was a randomized controlled trial. A consecutive sample of 150 overweight/obese adults who underwent physical examinations at the Health Care Center of the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University between November 2021 and March 2022. The participants were randomly assigned into the combined group, the high-protein group, and the common group (50 participants per group) using a random number table method. All three groups of subjects received weight loss health education, energy-restricted diet, and interventions with meal replacement powder and probiotics (or probiotic placebo). The combined group was given high-protein and high-dietary fiber meal replacement powder and probiotics. The high-protein group was given high-protein meal replacement powder and probiotic placebo. The common group was given ordinary meal replacement powder and probiotic placebo. The meal replacement powder was packaged in 35 g per bag, with main components of varying amounts of protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and trace elements. Both the probiotic powder and the probiotic placebo came in 2 g sachets. The primary components of probiotic powder were various Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and excipients, while the main component of probiotic placebo was excipients. The meal replacement powder and the probiotic powder or probiotic placebo were taken twice a day for a total of 12 weeks, one sachet of each time, followed by a 4-week follow-up. The body weight, body mass index, body fat mass, abdominal circumference and hip circumference were measured before the trial (week 0) and at the end of weeks 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16. The change rates of each indicator were calculated. Biochemical indicators, trace elements, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels were measured at the end of week 0, 4, 8, and 12. A product evaluation questionnaire was conducted at the end of week 12. A total of 19 cases dropped out due to various reasons. Finally, 46 cases in the combined group, 42 cases in the high-protein group, and 43 cases in the common group were included in the analysis. Paired-samples t test, Kruskal-Wallis H test, one-way analysis of variance, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the differences in weight-loss and maintenance effects, safety and patient acceptance among the three intervention groups, and to analyze the application effect of the energy-restricted diet combined with high-protein and high-dietary fiber meal replacement powder plus probiotics in overweight/obese adults. Results:Among the 131 overweight/obese adults included in the analysis, there were 57 males and 74 females, with a mean age of (37.30±8.33) years. By the end of the week 12, the body mass index [26.87(25.77, 30.38) vs 29.61(27.96, 33.09) kg/m2; 27.10(24.70, 31.37) vs 29.40(27.20, 34.17) kg/m2; 27.98(26.43, 30.12) vs 29.88(28.22, 31.93) kg/m2] and body fat masses [22.15(17.70, 30.15) vs 30.75(25.63, 35.40) kg; 23.35(19.12, 28.70) vs 29.45(26.20, 37.05) kg; 26.80(24.10, 31.60) vs 30.00(26.00, 34.70) kg] in the combined group, the high-protein group and the common group were all lower than those at baseline (week 0) (all P<0.05). At the end of the week 12, the change rates of body fat mass and body mass index in the combined group were both higher than those in the high-protein group and the common group [(25.98%±9.58%) vs (23.88%±11.15%) and (9.35%±11.00%), 9.29%(7.23%, 11.58%) vs 7.96% (5.51%, 10.92%) and 5.77% (2.68%, 10.03%)] (all P<0.05). At the end of the week 12, the body fat mass in the combined group and the high-protein group were both lower than that in the common group [22.15(17.70, 30.15), 23.35(19.12, 28.70) vs 26.80(24.10, 31.60) kg] (both P<0.05). At the end of the week 12, the decreased values of uric acid and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in the combined group were both higher than those in the high-protein group and the common group [17.15(13.02, 23.45) vs 1.50(0.22, 28.60) and 4.20(0.15, 19.95) μmol/L, 0.43(0.24, 0.60) vs 0.21(0.06, 0.43) and 0.28(-0.04, 0.88) mg/L](both P<0.05). No serious adverse events were observed during the intervention period and at the end of the intervention. In the product evaluation questionnaire, the combined group scored higher than the high-protein group and the common group on items such as usage frequency, taste, satiety, willingness to continue use, willingness to recommend to others, and willingness to purchase [4(3, 4) vs 3(3, 4) and 3(2, 4) points, 4(3, 4) vs 3(3, 4) and 3(2, 4) points, 4(3, 4) vs 3(3, 4) and 3(3, 3) points, 4(3, 4) vs 3(3, 4) and 3(3, 4) points, 4(3, 4) vs 3(3, 4) and 3(3, 3) points, 3(3, 4) vs 3(3, 4) and 3(2, 3) points] (all P<0.05). Conclusion:An energy-restricted diet combined with high-protein, high-dietary-fiber meal replacement powder and probiotics demonstrates superior weight-loss and weight-maintenance effects in overweight/obese adults, with high safety and great user acceptability.

Objective This study aims to explore the association between non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI)and suicide attempts(SA)in adolescents and the mediating effect of cognitive flexibility.Methods A total of 218 depression patients with NSSI who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,5th Edition(DSM-5)diagnostic criteria for NSSI were enrolled.Patients were divided into SA group(n=105)and non-SA group(n=113)according to the presence or absence of SA in the last one year.The adolescent non-suicidal self-injury assessment questionnaire(ANSAQ)and the Wisconsin card sorting tests(WCST)was used to assess the frequency of NSSI and cognitive flexibility,respectively.A mediation model was constructed to conduct path analysis,and the product distribution method was utilized to test the mediation effect.Results The difference between SA group and non-SA group in NSSI(20.1±10.7 vs.14.7±9.1)and WCST scores[correct responses percentage(67.3％±14.2％vs.72.9％±12.2％),error responses(39.8±20.3 vs.31.6±17.9),perseverative response(6.7±3.8 vs.5.3±2.9),and non-perseverative errors(37.6±21.0 vs.28.9±18.1)]were significant(P<0.05).Dichotomous logistic regression analysis showed that the frequency of NSSI(OR=1.051,95％CI:1.021-1.082)and the score of perseverative response(OR=1.100,95％CI:1.008-1.199)were significantly associated with suicidal behavior among adolescents with NSSI(P<0.05).Moreover,perseverative response partially mediated the association between NSSI and SA(95％CI of Za×Zb:0.0003-0.0168).Conclusion High NSSI and low cognitive flexibility are risk factors for suicide attempts in NSSI adolescents and NSSI may also affect SA indirectly by lowering cognitive flexibility.

Objective:To explore the advantages of internet-based smart healthcare for full-cycle transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) management in reducing postoperative adverse events rate, improving cardiac function, and enhancing quality of life.Methods:This retrospective study enrolled patients with mitral regurgitation who underwent transcatheter TEER at Beijing Anzhen Hospital Valve Intervention Center between June 2021 and September 2023. Patients were classified into degeneration mitral regurgitation (DMR) and functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) according to etiology, with further stratification by enrollment period into usual care group (June 2021 to October 2022) and full-cycle management group (November 2022 to September 2023). The 1-year postoperative follow-up data were collected and compared between subgroups with the same etiology. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted, and log-rank tests were used to compare the differences in major endpoint event-free survival rates between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression and logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of the full-cycle management system on patients′ outcomes.Results:A total of 130 patients were included, aged (72.0±8.6) years, including 82 (63%) males. DMR was identified in 84 cases (40 in the usual care group and 44 in the full-cycle management group), while FMR was observed in 46 cases (27 in the usual care group and 19 in the full-cycle management group). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated higher 1-year major endpoint event-free survival rates in the full-cycle management group compared to the usual care group, though the difference was not statistically significant (log-rank P>0.05). Compared to the usual care group, the full-cycle management group showed significantly higher proportions of New York Heart Association classification Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients (DMR: 67% vs. 52%, P=0.031; FMR: 68% vs. 52%, P=0.021), greater 6-minute walking distances (DMR: (346.39±70.41) m vs. (294.11±60.47) m, P=0.012; FMR: (356.60±54.68) m vs. (318.55±39.02) m, P=0.004), and superior Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire scores (DMR: 81.50 (74.50, 85.00) points vs. 71.00 (66.00, 82.25) points, P=0.014; FMR: 83.00 (76.00, 85.00) points vs. 74.00 (70.75, 80.00) points, P=0.030). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed the full-cycle management system as an independent predictor for the above improved outcomes (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Smart healthcare-based full-cycle management improves cardiac function and quality of life in mitral regurgitation patients after TEER, demonstrating lower rates of major endpoint events compared to usual care.

Objective To explore the regulatory role of fat mass and obesity-associated protein(FTO)and serine-threonine kinase protein kinase D2(PRKD2)in progression of diabetic kidney disease(DKD)and its regulatory mechanisms.Methods DKD model in vitro was constructed by podocytes(MPC5 cells)treated with high glucose(HG,35 mmol/L glucose)for 24 h.HG-induced MPC5 cells were transfected with FTO overexpression vector(pcDNA-FTO)and PRKD2 overexpression vector(pcDNA-PRKD2),or empty vector.The overexpression efficiency of FTO and PRKD2 were detected with RT-qPCR.MeRIP was used to detect the N6-methyladenosine(m6A)modification level of PRKD2 mRNA.The activity of Caspase-3 and the secretion of IL-6,TNF-α and monocyte chemotactic protein-1(MCP-1)were detected by ELISA.Cell apoptosis rate was analyzed by flow cytometry.The protein levels of FTO and PRKD2,as well as the key proteins in SIRT1/HIF-1α pathway,were evaluated by Western blot.Pearson analysis was used to analyze the correlation between FTO levels and PRKD2 levels.Results Compared with the control group without HG-induction,the protein expression of FTO(0.51±0.04 vs 1.00±0.03)and PRKD2(0.45±0.03 vs 1.01±0.04)was significantly down-regulated in HG-induced podocytes,and the differences were statistically significant(t=13.17,16.76,all P＜0.001).FTO protein levels were positively correlated with PRKD2 protein levels in HG-induced podocytes(r2=0.705 1,P＜0.001).Compared with the vector group,the m6A levels of PRKD2 mRNA(0.56±0.09 vs 1.01±0.13)in the pcDNA-FTO group were decreased,and the mRNA levels of PRKD2(3.16±0.14 vs 1.03±0.02)were increased,with significant differences(t=51.37,11.82,all P＜0.001).Compared with the control group(IL-6:512.76±61.85 pg/ml,TNF-α:28.17±2.83 pg/ml,MCP-1:157.31±17.69 pg/ml)and the vector group(IL-6:498.41±87.51 pg/ml,TNF-α:26.35±5.47 pg/ml,MCP-1:165.52±16.87 pg/ml),the secretion of IL-6(301.86±21.85 pg/ml),TNF-α(11.06±4.12 pg/ml)and MCP-1(81.45±9.03 pg/ml)were significantly decreased in the pcDNA-PRKD2 group,and the differences were statistically significant(F=7.51,10.47,61.97,all P＜0.01).Compared with the control group(caspase-3 activity:689.65±79.5 U/L,cell apoptosis:22.31%±2.69%)and the vector group(Caspase-3 activity:715.91±113.58 U/L,cell apoptosis:21.07%±3.28%),Caspase-3 activity(437.64±104.76 U/L)and the rate of apoptosis(8.41%±3.15%)were significantly decreased in the pcDNA-PRKD2 group,and the differences were statistically significant(F=2.35,79.13,all P＜0.01).Compared with the control group(SIRT1:1.01±0.05,HIF-1α:1.03±0.07)and the vector group(SIRT1:0.97±0.05,HIF-1α:1.02±0.03),SIRT1 protein levels(3.51±0.15)were increased and HIF-1α protein levels(0.37±0.07)were decreased in the pcDNA-PRKD2 group,and the differences were statistically significant(F=31.54,8.31,all P＜0.01).Conclusion FTO-mediated and m6A-modified PRKD2 suppresses inflammation and apoptosis in HG-induced podocytes through the SIRT1/HIF-1 pathway.

OBJECTIVE To calculate the cost of centralized dispensing of four categories of drugs （ordinary drugs， antibacterial drugs， hazardous drugs， and parenteral nutrition solutions） in pharmacy intravenous admixture service （PIVAS）， and provide reference for setting charging standards for relevant departments. METHODS The operating costs of PIVAS in 12 medical institutions from Shaanxi province were collected through questionnaire survey， including labor costs， medical and health material costs， fixed asset depreciation and repair costs， water and electricity costs， and management costs. The operation time allocation coefficient method and workload allocation coefficient method were comprehensively used to allocate the above costs， and the unit preparation costs of four categories of drugs were calculated. RESULTS The average annual total costs of dispensing ordinary drugs， antibacterial drugs， hazardous drugs， and parenteral nutrition solutions in Shaanxi province were （2 195 900.25±1 680 893.73） yuan， （746 341.59±725 839.39） yuan， （331 420.15±183 258.83） yuan， and （330 322.68±277 281.70） yuan， respectively， with labor costs accounting for the highest proportion， averaging 85.49%. The costs of dispensing a set of ordinary drugs， antibacterial drugs， and hazardous drugs were 5.89， 7.60， and 14.37 yuan， respectively； the cost of dispensing one bag of parenteral nutrition solution was 32.15 yuan （excluding the cost of disposable intravenous nutrition bags）. CONCLUSIONS The cost calculation method and data of different types of intravenous drugs obtained in this study can provide reference for relevant departments to formulate and adjust PIVAS fee standards.
