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.

Diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, collectively referred to the " Three Highs, " represent increasingly prevalent metabolic risk factors in China. Many individuals experience all three conditions concurrently, significantly heightening the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Although the National Metabolic Management Center(MMC) has been established for over eight years and has its unique features, the awareness, treatment, and control rates of these diseases in China remain low, and the efficiency of community management is insufficient. According to the previous two editions of management guidelines and the most recent domestic and international diagnostic and treatment guidelines, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the operational experience and management strategies of the MMC. Its aim is to improve the efficiency of grassroots MMC mode management for " Three Highs" patients and ensure that patients receive more standardized management.

Objective:To investigate the safety of minimally invasive liver resection for resectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) complicated with portal hypertension.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 807 patients with resectable HCC who underwent minimally invasive liver resection in 8 medical centers, including Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Affiliated with the Zhejiang University School of Medicine et al, from June 2011 to November 2022 were collected. There were 670 males and 137 females, aged 58(50,66)years. Of the 807 patients, 173 cases with portal hypertension were divided into the portal hypertension group, and 634 cases without portal hypertension were divided into the non-portal hypertension group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and post-operative situations; (3) subgroup analysis. Propensity score matching was done by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method, with the caliper setting as 0.001. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the rank sum test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Comparison of ordinal data was constructed using the non-parameter rank sun test. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 807 patients, 268 cases were successfully matched, including 134 cases in the portal hypertension group and 134 cases in the non-portal hypertension group. The elimination of the tumor diameter and robot-assisted surgery confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups after propensity score matching. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. The occlusion time of porta hepatis, cases with intraoperative blood transfusion, cases with postoperative complication, cases with complication >Ⅱ grade of Clavien-Dindo classification, cases of Clavien-Dindo classification as Ⅰ grade, Ⅱ grade, Ⅲ grade, Ⅳ grade, cases with liver related complication were 27.0(15.0,43.0)minutes, 33, 55, 15, 13, 29, 14, 1, 37 in the portal hypertension group, versus 35.0(22.0,60.0)minutes, 17, 25, 5, 14, 9, 4, 1, 13 in the non-portal hypertension group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-2.15, χ2=6.30, 16.39, 4.38, 20.72, 14.16, P<0.05). (3) Subgroup analysis. Results of subgroups analysis showed that in cases with major live resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 243.5(174.6,296.3)minutes, 200.0(150.0,600.0)mL, 7.5(6.0,13.0)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 270.0(180.0,314.5)minutes, 200.0 (75.0,450.0)mL, 7.0(5.5,10.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-0.54, -1.73, -0.92, P>0.05). In cases with non-major live resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 170.0(120.0,227.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 8.0(5.0,10.0)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 170.0(120.0,227.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 7.0(5.5,9.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-1.39, -0.10, 1.05, P>0.05). In cases with anatomical liver resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 210.0(150.0,285.0)minutes, 150.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 8.0(6.0,9.3)days in the portal hypertension group, versus 225.5(146.3,306.8)minutes, 100.0(50.0,250.0)mL, 7.0(6.0,9.0)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indica-tors between the two groups ( Z=-0.75, -0.26, -0.91, P>0.05). In cases with non-anatomical liver resection, the operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, duration of postoperative hospital stay were 173.5(120.0,231.5)minutes, 175.0(50.0,300.0)mL, 7.0(5.0,11.0)days in the portal hyper-tension group, versus 186.0(123.0,262.5)minutes, 100.0(50.0,200.0)mL, 7.0(5.0,9.5)days in the non-portal hypertension group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-0.97, -1.12, -0.98, P>0.05). Conclusion:Minimally invasive liver resection or even major liver resection is safe and feasible for screened HCC patients complicated with portal hyper-tension, but attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of postoperative complications.

Objective:To compare the effects of intravenous anesthesia between propofol and etomidate in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery and their effects on plasma nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1).Methods:The clinical data of 80 patients with laparoscopic surgery in Guangrao People′s Hospital from March 2017 to March 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 40 cases were given propofol intravenous anesthesia (propofol group), and 40 cases were given etomidate intravenous anesthesia (etomidate group). The anesthetic effect, plasma NO and ET-1 levels, hemodynamic indexes and adverse reactions (muscle spasm, nausea and vomiting, injection site pain, body movement and respiratory depression) were compared between the two groups.Results:The time of consciousness disappearance, tracheal intubation, eye opening, spontaneous breathing and speech response in etomidate group were significantly shorter than those in propofol group: (57.48 ± 2.63) s vs. (86.17 ± 7.41) s, (4.39 ± 2.56) min vs. (6.42 ± 2.58) min, (5.39 ± 2.56) min vs. (9.42 ± 2.58) min, (5.21 ± 1.99) min vs. (8.75 ± 2.54) min and (8.39 ± 2.56) min vs. (8.39 ± 2.56) min, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The levels of NO and ET-1 in the etomidate group were significantly lower than those in the propofol group at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 h after pneumoperitoneum ( P< 0.05). The levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and oxygen saturation (SpO 2) in the etomidate group were significantly higher than those in the propofol group: (78.42 ± 4.68) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (74.11 ± 6.63) mmHg, (132.86 ± 8.71) mmHg vs. (111.24 ± 3.56) mmHg and 0.982 ± 0.032 vs. 0.953 ± 0.043, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the etomidate group was significantly lower than that in the propofol group: 17.5% (7/40) vs. 47.5% (19/40), P<0.05. Conclusions:Compared with propofol intravenous anesthesia, etomidate intravenous anesthesia in laparoscopic surgery patients has more stable hemodynamics and better anesthetic effect. It can effectively inhibit the release of NO and ET-1, and has higher safety.

Objective:To investigate the effect of O-arm navigation assisted posterior pedicle screw reduction and internal fixation of atlantoaxial fractures.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze 37 patients with atlantoaxial fractures admitted to Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from January 2016 to June 2018, including 22 males and 15 females, aged from 29 to 68 years [(50.9±9.8)years]. The posterior pedicle screw reduction and internal fixation was performed under O-arm navigation system (navigation group, n=24), and using free-hand technique (free-hand group, n=13). The operation time and blood loss were compared between the two groups. The Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and neck disability index (NDI) were used to evaluate the clinical efficacy before operation, 7 days operation and at the last follow-up. The complications were detected. A total of 86 screws were placed in navigation group (Neo grade 0: 83 screws, grade 1: 2 screws, grade 2: 1 screw ), and 44 screws were inserted in free-hand group (Neo grade 0: 36 screws, grade 1: 5 screws, grade 2: 2 screws, grade 3: 1 screw)( P<0.05). Classification of screw positions proposed by Neo et al was used to evaluate the position relationship between the screw and the bone cortex and the incidence of screw penetration. Results:All patients were followed up 24-38 months [(27.7±4.0)months]. The operation time in navigation group was (189.8±35.4)minutes, significantly shorter than (221.5±48.6)minutes in free-hand group ( P<0.05). The bleeding volume in navigation group was 300.0 (250.0, 537.5)ml , significantly less than 500.0 (425.0, 625.0)ml in free-hand group ( P<0.05). Both groups showed significantly enhanced JOA and decreased NDI after operation and at last follow-up, compared with those before operation ( P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in JOA and NDI between the two groups ( P>0.05). No severe complications such as neurovascular injury occurred during operation. The incidence of cortical penetration was 3% (3/86) in navigation group and 18% (8/44) in free-hand group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In the process of posterior atlantoaxial pedicle screw placement, the application of O-arm navigation can significantly reduce the operation time and amount of bleeding, and enhance the accuracy of pedicle screw implantation.

Objective:The application of computer-rapid prototyping-assisted simulated hollow screw in the treatment of femoral neck fractures in fresh cadavers verified the reliability and accuracy of computer-rapid prototyping-assisted simulated hollow screw in the treatment of femoral neck fractures.Methods:The glass ion was labeled as a target for the treatment of femoral neck fracture with a cannulated screw. Three Kirschner pins were placed at the top and bottom of the greater trochanter. CT scan of the processed specimens. The scan data was imported into Mimics software, and the upper end of the femur was reconstructed three-dimensionally and the target of the femoral neck fracture was fixed with cannulated screws. The position of the cannulated screw in the femoral neck was designed. In Pro/E software, draw a guide that fits the three positioning Kirschner pins and cannulated screw guide needles on the upper end of the femur, and use rapid prototyping technology to make the guide. The navigation template was mounted on the positioning pin through the cannulated screw guiding hole, and the hollow screw guiding needle was drilled, and the hollow screw was inserted for the treatment of the femoral neck fracture to complete the positioning and guiding. According to the coordinates of the hollow screw guide needle and the target center in the Mimics software three-dimensional reconstruction coordinate system, the spatial distance calculation formula is used to calculate the distance between the hollow screw guide needle and the target center.Results:The coordinate analysis of the end point of the cannulated screw guide needle and the target can be obtained that the average distance between the end point of the cannulated screw guide needle for fixed femoral neck fracture and the target center point was 1.92 mm.Conclusion:The computer-rapid molding-assisted cannulated screw fixation of the femoral neck fracture is reliable and accurate, which provides a new idea and method for clinical individualization and precise fixation of the femoral neck fracture.

Oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) was minimally invasiveprocedure for lumbar interbody fusion (LIF) through the space between anterior margin of retroperitoneal psoas major muscle and the vessels (ATP). Although OLIF had many advantages over other approaches, there were also various kinds of surgical complications, the incidence of which was 3.69%-81.82%. Most of the complications were relieved by conservative or symptomatic treatment. Only a small number of complications were difficult to recover, if so, revision surgery was needed and might remain persistent symptoms. OLIF complications included intraoperative and postoperative complications. Major vascular injury was a dangerous complication during operation, which requires immediate compression or suture to prevent bleeding. The incidence of nerve injury could be reduced by avoiding violent traction and tissue separation and reducing the operation time. When injury of thorax and peritoneum occurs, suture should be done as soon as possible. Transient hip flexion weakness and transient thigh/groin sensory disturbance was the most common post-operative complication, most of which would disappear after several months. Intestinal obstruction is caused by the pulling of peritoneum during operation, most of which was incomplete and would be relieved after some time. Postoperative infection was mostly superficial and would be cured by dressing change and antibiotic application. Subsidence of cage and collapse of intervertebral space were the most common complications related to instrumentations which might not lead to related clinical symptoms; however the severe cases need to be repaired. The incidence of pseudarthrosis is relatively low and a few patients with clinical symptoms need revision surgery. The sample size of most studies was small and follow-up period was short. In the future, large samples and multi-center studies are needed to improve our understanding of OLIF complications in the future.
