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.

Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic inflammatory disease of the intestine with an unknown etiology and a long course of disease.In recent years,studies have shown that intestinal macrophages are the main participants in intestinal immune instability and intestinal inflammation,and intestinal inflammatory diseases are closely related to intestinal M1/M2 macrophage polarization imbalance."Yang transforming qi,while yin constituting form"is a highly summarized function and mechanism of yin and yang in the human body,and is fundamental to human life activities.The polarization of macrophages is highly consistent with the theory of"yang transforming qi,while yin constituting form".This article discussed the relationship between"yang transforming qi while yin constituting form"and macrophage polarization and UC,and believes that"insufficient transformation of qi by yang"is the basis of UC,"excessive formation by yin"is the standard of UC,"insufficient transformation of qi by yang"is mainly the deficiency of yang in the heart,spleen and kidney,and"excessive formation by yin"is about the stagnation of stasis,phlegm and dampness.The treatment methods are to warm the kidney yang to dissolve qi transpiration,warm the heart yang to clear the blood vessels,and support the spleen yang to transport water and dampness,remove blood stasis,resolve phlegm to dissipate clouding,so as to achieve the balance of yin and yang,which could provide references for the treatment of UC.

Objective:A model for predicting sentinel lymph node metastasis was established based on positron emission tomography(PET)-related metabolic parameters and clinicopathological characteristics.Methods:A retro-spective analysis was conducted on 211 patients diagnosed with breast cancer through surgical pathology from January 2016 to March 2023 in Meizhou People's Hospital,who underwent whole-body PET/CT examinations prior to surgery.Clinical,pathological,and PET-related metabolic parameters were collected.The study analyzed the association be-tween clinicopathological characteristics of the primary breast cancer lesion,PET metabolic parameters,and sentinel lymph node metastasis.A logistic regression predictive model was constructed using Broussonetia papyrifera.Results:Breast cancer primary lesion PET-suspicious axillary lymph nodes,vascular tumor thrombus,estrogen receptor(ER),and progesterone receptor(PR)showed statistically significant differences between the two groups(all P<0.05),while maxi-mum tumor diameter,SUVmax tumor location,maximum standardized uptake value(SUVmax),metabolic tumor volume(MTV),total lesion glycolysis(TLG),tumor location,number of lesions,pathological type,histological grade,neural inva-sion,Homo sapiens epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2),and nuclear-associated antigen Ki-67(Ki-67)showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups(all P>0.05).Parameters with P<0.05 in the univariate analysis were subjected to multivariate logistic regression analysis,and the logistic regression model was established as Logit(P)=-0.437×vascular tumor thrombus+4.685×suspicious axillary lymph node metastasis.The predictive model AUC was 0.738(P<0.001,95%CI:0.664～0.812),with sensitivity and specificity of 63.4%and 74.4%,respectively.Con-clusion:PET findings of the primary breast cancer lesion regarding suspicious axillary lymph node metastasis,vascular tumor thrombus,ER and PR are associated with sentinel lymph node metastasis.The predictive model established based on PET-detected suspicious axillary lymph node metastasis and vascular tumor thrombus in primary breast cancer lesions has certain value in predicting sentinel lymph node metastasis,potentially providing a non-invasive examination modality for clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI)in differentiating histopathological types of brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Sixty-eight patients with brain metastases confirmed by pathology were collected,including 47 lung adenocarcinoma patients divided into a lung adenocarcinoma group and 21 lung squamous cell carcinoma patients into a lung squamous cell carcinoma group.The two groups were compared in terms of the DCE-MRI derived parameters including volume transfer constant(Ktrans),extra vascular extracellular volume fraction(Ve)and plasma volume fraction(Vp);ROC curves were used to assess the diagnostic efficacy of different quantitative parameters for the pathologic types of brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma group or lung squamous cell carcinoma.SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results The lung adenocarcinoma group had the values of Ktrans,Ve,Vp and Ve+Vp higher than those of the lung squamous cell carcinoma group,with the differences being statistically significant(all P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis results showed that Ktrans,Vp and Ve had high differential diagnosis values for the pathologic types of brain metastases from lung adenocarcinoma group or lung squamous cell carcinoma,with the AUC being 1.000,0.998 and 0.875,the optimal Youden index being 0.183 min-1,0.039 and 0.270,the sensitivity being 100.00％,100.00％and 80.56％and the specificity being 100.00％,97.06％and 80.88％,respectively.Conclusion The quantitative parameters of DCE-MRI gain advantages in the differential diagnosis of NSCLC brain metastases,and provide references for the diagnosis and treatment of brain metastases of lung cancer.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(5):54-59]

Aim To detect the mechanism of Wenshen Jianpi recipe(WSJPR)regulating the autophagy by p70S6K signaling pathway on alleviating podocyte inju-ry in diabetic nephropathy(DN)rats.Methods DN model rats induced by streptozotocin were divided into five groups with six rats in each group:model control group,low dose group(7.5 g·kg-1·d-1),medium dose group(15 g·kg-1·d-1),high dose group(30 g·kg-1·d-1),and positive control group(25 mg·kg-1·d-1).In addition,six normal rats were used as negative control group(isotonic NaCl solution 10 mL·kg-1·d-1).All the rats were given continuous ga-vage for eight weeks.Fasting blood glucose,urine al-bumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)and blood viscosity were determined.The changes of podocyte ultrastruc-ture and autophagosome in each group were observed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The pro-tein levels of signaling pathway factor p70S6K and au-tophagy factor p62 in renal tissues of rats in each group were detected by Western blot.Besides,p62 expres-sion was observed by immunohistochemistry.Results WSJPR could decrease fasting blood glucose and UACR,and improve the indexes of blood viscosity in rats.TEM indicated that WSJPR could significantly improve the podocyte ultrastructure and autophagy level in DN rats.Western blot showed that the expression level of signaling pathway factor p70S6K and autophagy factor p62 in the kidney of DN rats increased signifi-cantly compared with blank control group(P＜0.01).The expression level of p70S6K and p62 in WSJPR groups decreased compared with model control group(P＜0.05).Among them,the medium-dose group of WSJPR had the most significant change.Immunohisto-chemical results showed that the level of autophagy fac-tor p62 in kidney tissue of DN rats increased compared with the control group.WSJPR had a certain inhibitory effect on p62 expression in DN rats.Conclusion WSJPR might restore cell homeostasis by inhibiting p70S6K level,reducing the expression of autophagy factor p62 and enhancing autophagy level in renal tis-sue of DN rats.

The hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content of dehydrated castor oils are two important indicators that reflect its properties.Thus,monitoring the two indicators can better realize the industrial production of high-quality dehydrated castor oils.However,traditional chemical measurement methods have many disadvantages in determination of the two indictors,including large reagent consumption,long determination time,and cannot achieve rapid monitoring.Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FTIR)is a new and non-destructive detection method that is low-cost and can achieve rapid detection.In this work,FTIR technique was employed to collect spectral information of dehydrated castor oils and analyze the relationship between FTIR spectral information and hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content,and a rapid detection method for detecting the property indicators of dehydrated castor oils was thus established.FTIR scanning was performed on dehydrated castor oils with a hydroxyl value of 21.9-161.4 mg KOH/g and a conjugated linoleic acid content of less than 37.5%.Among different preprocessing methods,orthogonal scatter correction(OSC)could improve the prediction accuracy of the resulting model,by which the optimal modeling data segments for hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content were 3200-3800 cm-1 and 800-1200 cm-1,respectively,and the optimal modeling method was partial least squares(PLS).The coefficients of determination of the optimal models for hydroxyl value and conjugated linoleic acid content were all above 0.99.

Objective:To investigate the effect of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on bladder cancer by regulating phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway via tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein epsilon peptide (YWHAE) and to examine its mechanism.Methods:The gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA) database was used to analyze HER2 expression in 408 bladder cancer tissues and 19 adjacent normal tissues. HER2 expression was then compared between 215 tumor protein 53 ( TP53) mutant and 193 TP53 non-mutant bladder cancer tissues. Tissue samples were obtained from patients who underwent surgical resection for bladder cancer in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital between June 2010 and March 2015. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were performed to validate HER2 and p53 protein expression, as well as analyze their correlation. Bladder cancer T24 cells were transfected with short hairpin RNA targeting HER2 (shHER2) control (shCon) or shHER2, designated as shCon and shHER2 groups. Bladder cancer UMUC3 cells were transfected with overexpression control (oeCon), HER2 overexpression (oeHER2), oeYWHAE, or short hairpin RNA targeting murine double minute 2 (MDM2) (shMDM2), and were designated as the oeCon, oeHER2, oeYWHAE and shMDM2 groups, respectively. UMUC3 cells were then treated with either 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide or 100 mmol/L dihydrotestosterone and designated as the solvent control and dihydrotestosterone groups, respectively. Additionally, oeCon and oeYWHAE UMUC3 cells were treated with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (25 μmol/L), designated as the LY294002 and LY294002+oeYWHAE groups. On this basis, shHER2 was transfected into the oeCon and oeYWHAE groups, which were then designated as the shHER2-2 and shHER2-2+oeYWHAE groups. The relative expression levels of HER2, YWHAE mRNA, and HER2, p53, YWHAE, MDM2, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), and Akt proteins were determined using quantitative reverse transcription PCR and Western blotting. Cell Counting Kit-8, Transwell, and wound-healing assays were performed to evaluate the impact of HER2 on the proliferation, invasion, and migration of bladder cancer cells. Mass spectrometry and co-immunoprecipitation assays were performed to confirm the interaction between YWHAE and HER2, and immunofluorescence was used to detect p53 expression. BALB/c nude mice were subcutaneously injected with 5×10 6 UMUC3 cells in the scapular region. According to the random number table method, they were divided into negative the control group and the transfection group, with 3 mice in each group, and transfected with oeCon and oeHER2, respectively. Tumor volume and weight were measured and calculated, and HER2 and p53 protein expression in bladder cancer tissues was validated by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the two groups. One-way analysis of variance or Kruskal-Wallis test was used for comparison of multiple groups. Results:GEPIA database analysis demonstrated significantly higher levels of HER2 expression in bladder cancer tissues and in TP53 mutant bladder cancers compared with adjacent normal tissues (both P<0.01). HER2 expression was inversely correlated with p53 expression ( r=?0.6). Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting confirmed that p53 expression level in the bladder cancer tissues (5.32±0.11) was higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues (2.00±0.01), while HER2 expression level in the bladder cancer tissues (1.13±0.02) was lower than that in the adjacent normal tissues (6.20±0.06) (both P<0.01). HER2 mRNA and protein expression, absorbance at 450 nm wavelength ( A450) values, and cell invasion number and cell migration distance in the shHER2 group were all lower than those in the shCon group [0.25±0.01 vs 1.00±0.05, 1.00± 0.01 vs 3.26±0.09, 1.36±0.04 vs 1.65±0.06, (107.00±5.51) vs (202.70±11.61) cells, and (298.70±6.94) vs (454.30±7.84) μm] ( P<0.05, 0.01). HER2 mRNA and protein expression, absorbance ( A450) values, and cell invasion number and cell migration distance in the oeHER2 group were all higher than those in the oeCon group [0.78±0.02 vs 0.46±0.01, 2.05±0.02 vs 1.00±0.00, 1.23±0.06 vs 0.78±0.03, (136.30±5.24) vs (59.00±5.51) cells, and (153.70±7.27) vs (66.33±33.84) μm] ( P<0.05, 0.01). HER2 protein expression level in the dihydrotestosterone group was higher than that in the solvent control (1.83±0.19 vs 1.00±0.00), while p53 protein expression level in the dihydrotestosterone group was lower than that in the solvent control group (1.10±0.10 vs 1.53±0.15) (both P<0.01). The differentially expressed protein between the dihydrotestosterone group and solvent control group was YWHAE. The expression levels of YWHAE mRNA and protein in the dihydrotestosterone group (1.10±0.12 and 3.05±0.03) were higher than those in the solvent control group (0.30±0.12 and 1.00±0.00) (both P<0.01). YWHAE protein expression level in the oeHER2 group was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.37±0.08 vs 1.00±0.00) ( P<0.01) and YWHAE expression level in the bladder cancer tissues was higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues ( P<0.01). YWHAE expression positively correlated with HER2 expression ( r=0.4). Co-immunoprecipitation confirmed direct binding between HER2 and YWHAE. Overexpression of YWHAE significantly reduced p53 expression. The relative expression level of MDM2 protein in the oeYWHAE group (2.73±0.09) was lower than that in the oeCon group (3.43±0.12) ( P<0.01). The relative expression level of MDM2 protein in the shMDM2 group (1.00±0.00) was lower than that in the oeYWHAE group, and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.00±0.00) was higher than that in the oeYWHAE group (1.07±0.07) (both P<0.01). The relative expression levels of YWHAE and p-Akt protein in the oeYWHAE group (1.23±0.09, 3.00±0.06) were higher than those in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00, 1.13±0.03) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The relative expression level of p-Akt protein in LY294002 group (2.20±0.06) was lower than that in the oeCon group (3.30±0.10), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.10±0.06) was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00) (both P<0.01). The relative expression level of p-Akt protein in LY294002+oeYWHAE group (2.00±0.06) was lower than that in the oeYWHAE group (3.53±0.14), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (2.10±0.06) was higher than that in the oeYWHAE group (1.00±0.06) (both P<0.01). The relative expression levels levels of YWHAE, p-Akt and MDM2 protein in the shHER2-2 group (1.60±0.15, 1.70±0.06, 0.80±0.06) were lower than those in the oeCon group (2.30±0.06, 2.30±0.06, 1.13±0.09), and the relative expression level of p53 protein (1.83±0.12) was higher than that in the oeCon group (1.00±0.00) ( P<0.05, 0.01). The relative expression level of YWHAE protein in the shHER2-2+oeYWHAE group (2.00±0.06) was lower than that in the oeCon group ( P<0.01), and the relative expression levels of MDM2 and p53 protein (2.63±0.15, 1.13±0.03) were higher than those in the oeCon group ( P<0.05, 0.01). The tumor volume, tumor weight, and relative expression levels of HER2, YWHAE, p-Akt, and MDM2 proteins on day 28 in the transfection group [(5 133.0±185.6) mm 3, (0.65±0.12) g, 2.23±0.02, 4.00±0.12, 3.33±0.06 and 2.24±0.02] were higher than those in the negative control group [(2 633.0±88.2) mm 3, (0.33±0.07) g, 0.98±0.02, 1.27±0.03, 1.29±0.02 and 1.46±0.06] (all P<0.01). The relative expression level of p53 protein (1.21±0.04) was lower than that in the negative control group (3.29±0.04) ( P<0.01). Conclusions:HER2 may promote the malignant progression of bladder cancer by regulating the PI3K-Akt pathway via YWHAE, thereby facilitating MDM2 nuclear translocation and p53 degradation. This ultimately enhances the proliferative, migratory, and invasive capacities of bladder cancer cells.
