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.

Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKi) are a class of novel small-molecule targeted antitumor drugs used to treat B-cell malignancies. However, safety issues associated with BTKi may lead to treatment interruption, compromising their efficacy. To promote the standardized management of safety in BTKi treatment, Evidence-Based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, Division of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring of Chinese Pharmacological Society, Expert Committee on Lymphoma of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, Expert Committee on Leukemia of Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology, Integrated Cancer Cardiology Branch of China Anti-Cancer Association, Hematology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-Straits Medicine Exchange Association formulated the Evidence-based Expert Consensus on the Clinical Management of Safety of Bruton′s Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (2024), which was published in the Chinese Journal of Cancer Research in June 2024. It covered 9 clinical issues in the following 3 domains: (1) the management of common adverse reactions of BTKi such as bleeding, cardiovascular events, hematological toxicity, infections, rashes, diarrhea, and arthralgia; (2) the management of drug-drug interactions; (3) management guidance for special populations. This consensus provides evidence-based recommendations for the safety management of BTKi medication in clinical practice. This article provides an interpretation and evidence summary of the consensus in Chinese, aiming to facilitate its implementation in China, enhance the safety management of BTKi treatment, and improve patient outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the clinical manifestations, long-term survival, and prognosis of childhood T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).Methods:Case summary.The clinical data of 43 T-ALL children who were diagnosed and treated in Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2010 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.They were stratified for treatment according to the CCCG-ALL regimen, and the correlation of prognosis with the condition at initial diagnosis, early treatment response, and induced remission was analyzed.The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the survival rate, and the survival rates were compared between groups by the Log-rank test.The multivariate Cox regression model was used to analyze the impact of multiple factors on the long-term survival of children.Results:T-ALL patients accounted for 9.5% (43/451) of the total number of acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients admitted to the hospital at the same period.The median onset age of the 43 T-ALL patients was 7 years (1-13 years).Of the 43 patients included, 14 patients (32.6%) had concomitant mediastinal widening, 8 patients (18.6%) had concomitant giant mediastinal masses, and 4 patients (9.3%) had early precursor T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL) at initial diagnosis.These 43 children were treated according to the CCCG-ALL intermediate- and high-risk group regimen.Among them, 33 children (76.7%) achieved sustained remission, 5 children died, and 5 children had a relapse.As of September 30, 2024, the median follow-up time was 62 months (1-170 months), the 10-year event-free survival rate was (80.2±6.4)%, and the 10-year overall survival rate was (86.6±5.8)%.The median relapse time and 10-year cumulative relapse rate of the 5 relapsed children were 28 months (7-58 months) and (13.7±5.8)%, respectively.The relationship of prognosis with clinical characteristics at initial diagnosis and induced remission in 43 T-ALL children was analyzed.The results showed that patients aged ≥10 years, with a grade-1 non-central nervous system at initial diagnosis, ETP-ALL, abnormal chromosome number and structure, non-M1 status of bone marrow and minimal residual disease (MRD)≥ 1% on day 19 of induction treatment, and MRD ≥ 0.01% on day 46 to 55 of induction treatment had poorer long-term survival(all P<0.05).The multivariate analysis showed that age ≥10 years, ETP-ALL, and abnormal chromosome number and structure were risk factors of poor prognosis ( P=0.045, 0.030, 0.021). Conclusions:The CCCG-ALL regimen has a good overall therapeutic effect in children with T-ALL.Age ≥10 years, abnormal chromosome number and structure, ETP-ALL, grade-1 non-central nervous system at initial diagnosis, and early remission are risk factors of poor prognosis.Treatment after relapse in children with T-ALL is difficult.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the distribution characteristics of glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) mutations and their enzyme activity in newborns patients with G6PD deficiency in Guilin region. METHODS: From July 2022 to July 2024, umbilical cord blood samples from 4 554 newborns in Guilin were analyzed for G6PD mutations using fluorescence PCR melting curve analysis. Enzyme activity was detected in 4 467 cases using the rate assay. RESULTS: Among 4 467 newborns who underwent G6PD activity testing, 162 newborns (3.63%) were identified as G6PD-deficient, including 142 males (6.04%) and 20 females (0.94%), the prevalence of G6PD deficiency was significantly higher in males than in females (P < 0.001). Genetic analysis of 4 554 newborns detected G6PD mutations in 410 cases (9%), including 171 males (7.13%) and 239 females (11.09%), with a significantly higher mutation detection rate in females than in males (P < 0.001). A total of nine single mutations and four compound heterozygous mutations were identified. The most common mutations were c.1388G>A (33.66%), c.1376G>T (23.66%) and c.95A>G (16.34%). Among newborns who underwent both enzyme activity and genetic mutation testing, males with G6PD mutations had significantly lower enzyme activity than that of females with G6PD mutations(P < 0.001). Specifically, among newborns carrying the mutations c.1388G>A, c.1376G>T, c.95A>G, c.1024C>T or c.871G>A, males consistently exhibited lower enzymatic activity than females with the same mutations (P < 0.001). Furthermore, in male G6PD-deficient newborns, the enzyme activity levels in those carrying c.1388G>A, c.1376G>T, c.95A>G, c.1024C>T, or c.871G>A were lower than those in both the control group and the c.519C>T group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION This study provides a comprehensive profile of G6PD deficiency incidence and mutation spectrum in the Guilin region. By analyzing enzyme activity and genetic mutation results, this study provides insights into potential intervention strategies and personalized management approaches for the prevention and treatment of neonatal G6PD deficiency in the region.
