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.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for early tumor recurrence and the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy in gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) patients after curative-intent resection.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 506 patients with GBC in 11 medical centers, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University et al, from January 2016 to December 2020 were collected. There were 168 males and 338 females, aged (62±11)years. All patients underwent curative-intent resection of GBC, and they were divided into patients with and without early recurrence based on time to postoperative recurrence. Observation indicators: (1) treatment; (2) follow-up and survival of patients; (3) analysis of influencing factors for early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC; (4) efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model with forward method. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival rate, and Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Treatment. Of 506 patients, there were 112 cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, and 394 cases without postopera-tive adjuvant chemotherapy. They underwent 5(range, 3-9)cycles of postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. (2) Follow-up and survival of patients. All 506 patients underwent postoperative follow-up, with the follow-up time of 55(range, 34-93)months. During the follow-up, there were 248 patients with tumor recurrence, including 158 cases of early recurrence and 90 cases of late recurrence, and there were 258 patients without tumor recurrence. Of 506 patients, 275 cases survived, and 231 cases died of multiple organ failure caused by tumor recurrence and metastasis. The postoperative recurr-ence-free survival time, overall survival time were 52(range,1-93)months, 62(range, 2-93)months. The 1-, 3-, 5-year disease-free survival rates and 1-, 3-, 5-year overall survival rates of the 506 pati-ents were 68.8%, 53.8%, 47.9% and 78.3%, 58.7%, 51.6%, respectively. Results of survival analysis showed that the median overall survival time of 158 patients with postoperative early recurrence and 348 patients without postoperative early recurrence (including 90 cases of late recurrence and 258 cases of no tumor recurrence) were 9(range, 2-73)months and unreached, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=456.15, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of influencing factors for early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC. Results of multivariate analysis showed that carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) >5.0 μg/L, poorly differentiated tumor, liver invasion, and tumor N staging as stage N1-N2 were independent risk factors influencing early tumor recurrence after cura-tive-intent resection of GBC ( odds ratio=2.74, 6.20, 1.81, 2.93, 4.82, 95% confidence interval as 1.62-4.64, 1.82-21.12, 1.15-3.08, 1.68-5.09, 1.91-12.18, P<0.05), while postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy was an independent protect factor ( odds ratio=0.39, 95% confidence interval as 0.21-0.71, P<0.05). (4) Efficacy of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The median overall survival time of 394 patients without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 112 patients with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy were 57(range, 2-93)months and unreached, showing a significant differ-ence between them ( χ2=9.38, P<0.05). Of the 158 patients with postoperative early recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC, 135 cases didn't receive adjuvant chemotherapy and 23 cases received adjuvant chemotherapy, with the overall survival time of 8(range, 2-73)months and 17(range, 8-61)months, respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=7.68, P<0.05). Conclusions:CEA >5.0 μg/L, poorly differentiated tumor, liver invasion, and tumor N staging as stage N1-N2 are independent risk factors influencing early tumor recurrence after curative-intent resection of GBC, while postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is an independent protect factor. Postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy can prolong the overall survival time of patients with post-operative tumor early recurrence.

Objective:To investigate the influence of curative-intent resection with textbook outcomes of liver surgery (TOLS) on long-term prognosis of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 824 patients with GBC in the national multicenter database of Biliary Surgery Group of Elite Group of Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, who were admitted to 15 medical centers from January 2014 to January 2021, were collected. There were 285 males and 539 females, aged (62±11)years. According to the evalua-tion criteria of TOLS, patients were divided into those who achieved TOLS and those who did not achieve TOLS. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and com-parison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data were conduc-ted using the Mann-Whitney U test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rate and draw survival curve, and the Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. The COX stepwise regression model with backward Wald method was used for univariate and multivariate analyses. Results:(1) Achievement of TOLS. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, there were 510 cases achieving TOLS and 314 cases not achieving TOLS. (2) Follow-up. Of the 824 patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC, after excluding 112 deaths within 90 days after discharge, 712 cases were included for the survival analysis. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 510 patients achieving TOLS were 22.1(11.4,30.1)months, 47.6(30.6,64.6)months and 47.5%. The median follow-up time, median overall survival time and 5-year overall survival rate of the 202 patients not achieving TOLS were 14.0(6.8,25.5)months, 24.3(20.0,28.6)months and 21.0%. There was a significant difference in overall survival between patients achieving TOLS and patients not achieving TOLS ( χ2=58.491, P<0.05). (3) Analysis of factors influencing prognosis of patients. Results of multivariate analysis showed that TOLS, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CA19-9, poorly differentiation of tumor, T2 stage of eighth edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging, T3 and T4 stage of eighth edition of AJCC staging, N1 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, N2 stage of the eighth edition of AJCC staging, adjuvant therapy were independent factors influencing overall survival time of patients undergoing curative-intent resection for GBC ( hazard ratio=0.452, 1.479, 1.373, 1.612, 1.455, 1.481, 1.835, 1.978, 0.538, 95% c onfidence interval as 0.352-0.581, 1.141-1.964, 1.052-1.791, 1.259-2.063, 1.102-1.920, 1.022-2.147, 1.380-2.441, 1.342-2.915, 0.382-0.758, P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients under-going curative-intent resection for GBC with TOLS can achieve better long-term prognosis.

Objective:To examine the perioperative safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study method was employed to collect clinical data from 388 patients with gallstones who were admitted to Department of General Surgery of the Provincial Hospital of Anhui Medical University between January 2020 and December 2023. The cohort comprised 135 males and 253 females. For the purpose of analysis, the participants were divided into HIV-positive group ( n=25) and HIV-negative group ( n=363). The distinction between the two groups was based on whether the participants were co-infected with HIV. The clinical and pathological data pertaining to the two groups of patients, along with the intraoperative and postoperative data, were collated. The propensity score matching method was employed to control for confounding bias, and the data on anaesthesia methods, intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, necessity for conversion to laparotomy, postoperative complications, postoperative drainage volume, postoperative hospital stay, and total treatment costs were compared between the two groups. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s) and compared using the t-test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were expressed as M( Q1, Q3) and compared using the rank-sum test. The Fisher exact probability method or the chi-square test was employed for the comparison of count data. Results:The two groups of general data were found to be statistically significant in terms of gender, preoperative red blood cells, neutrophils, alanine aminotransferase, and indirect bilirubin exhibited statistically significant differences( P<0.05). Following propensity score matching, a total of 59 cases were identified. Of these, 25 cases were observed in the HIV-positive group, while 34 cases were observed in the HIV-negative group. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups with respect to the general data ( P>0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of anaesthesia method, intraoperative blood loss, duration of surgery, need for conversion to laparotomy, postoperative complication rate, postoperative drainage volume and postoperative hospital stay ( P>0.05). The total length of hospital stay and total hospital expenses in the HIV-positive group were 5.0 (3.0, 7.0) days and (14 829.3±4 852.8) yuan, respectively. HIV-negative group were 3.0 (2.0, 4.8) days and (10 762.3±1 850.3) yuan, respectively. The HIV-negative group had a significantly shorter hospital stay and lower hospital expenses, these differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no occupational exposure of medical personnel in the perioperative period among those with HIV. Conclusions:Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and feasible procedure for HIV-positive patients who are receiving antiretroviral therapy. Adherence to established protocols by healthcare personnel can mitigate the risk of occupational exposure.

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 explore the expression levels of cholinesterase (CHE) and haptoglobin (HPT) in serum of children with recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTI) and their value in evaluation of prognosis. Methods A total of 112 children with RRTI were selected and included in the RRTI group, and 95 normal children who underwent physical examination during the same period were randomly selected and included in control group. According to the severity of the disease, patients in the RRTI group were divided into mild group of 38 cases, moderate group of 40 cases, and severe group of 34 cases. The levels of serum CHE, HPT, interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), immunoglobulin A (IgA), immunoglobulin M (IgM), as well as CD3⁺ and CD3⁺CD4⁺ were detected. The correlation between CHE and HPT in RRTI children was analyzed. The predictive value of serum CHE and HPT expression levels on the prognosis of RRTI children was analyzed. Results The CHE expression level in the RRTI group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while the HPT level was significantly higher (P < 0.05). The CHE level in severe RRTI patients was significantly lower than that in the moderate and mild groups, and the moderate group was significantly lower than the mild group; the HPT level in severe RRTI children was significantly higher than that in the moderate and mild groups, and the moderate group was significantly higher than the mild group (P < 0.05). The CHE expression level in RRTI children was negatively correlated with the HPT expression level (r=-0.637, P < 0.001). The levels of IL-1, IgA, IgM, CD3⁺ and CD3⁺CD4⁺, in the RRTI group were significantly lower than those in the control group, while the IL-6 level was significantly higher (P < 0.05). The CHE expression level in RRTI children was positively correlated with IL-1, IgA, IgM, CD3⁺and CD3⁺CD4⁺, and negatively correlated with IL-6; the HPT expression level was negatively correlated with IL-1, IgA, IgM, CD3⁺ and CD3⁺CD4⁺, and positively correlated with IL-6 (P < 0.05). The serum CHE expression level in RRTI children with good prognosis was significantly higher than that in RRTI children with poor prognosis, while the HPT level was significantly lower (P < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the combined prediction of CHE and HPT for the prognosis of RRTI children was higher than that of their individual predictions, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion In the serum of RRTI children, CHE is lowly expressed, while HPT is highly expressed. The combined evaluation of CHE and HPT has high prognostic value for RRTI patients.

Objective:To analyze clinical characteristics of acromegaly patients who have discordant growth hormone(GH) or insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) levels and evaluate impact of different GH cut-offs on discordance rate.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 66 acromegaly patients treated at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from November 2017 to March 2023. Patients were categorized based on the nadir GH(GHn) and IGF-1 levels at the last follow-up into four groups: controlled, high GH, high IGF-1, and active. Clinical and metabolic parameters were compared across these groups, and impact of different GHn and fasting growth hormone(GHf) cut-offs on discordance rate was evaluated.Results:No statistically significant differences were observed among groups in age, duration of follow-up, imaging characteristics(all P>0.05). High IGF-1 group had higher fasting insulin and homeostasis model assessment for β cell function compared to controlled and high GH group(all P<0.05), while these parameters did not differ between high GH and controlled group. High IGF-1 group had higher carboxy-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type 1 collagen, osteocalcin and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide compared to controlled and high GH group, but differences were not statistically significant(all P>0.05). These parameters also did not differ between high GH and controlled group. Discordance rate was not significantly different when GHn cut-offs was 1.0 μg/L or 0.4 μg/L(30.3% vs 21.3%, P=0.146). Compared to 2.5 μg/L, discordance rate was lower when GHf cut-off was 1.0 μg/L(39.4% vs 24.3%, P=0.041). Conclusion:The discordance rate in treated acromegaly patients during follow-up is approximately 30%. Different GH measurement timings and cut-offs significantly impact discordance rate. Patients with normal GH and elevated IGF-1 levels are at potential risk of active disease, and require closer follow-up. This study provides a valuable reference for treatment of patients with discordant GH and IGF-1 levels.
