Objective:To quantitatively evaluate the effects of left bundle branch block(LBBB)on left ventricular structure,function and myocardial perfusion using left ventricular pressure-strain loop and single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT),and to investigate the relationship between myocardial work,myocardial perfusion and pathological changes of left ventricular remodeling in left bundle branch block induced cardiomyopathy(LBBB-CM).Methods:Fourteen male beagle dogs were selected,and the main trunk of the left bundle branch was ablated to create an LBBB dog model. Electrocardiogram(ECG),transesophageal echocardiography and arterial blood pressure data of LBBB dogs were collected before and 12 months after the ablation of left bundle branch trunk. Global and segmental myocardial work parameters were obtained by left ventricular pressure-strain loop. The differences of above parameters between baseline and 12 months after the ablation of left bundle branch were compared. SPECT was performed in LBBB dogs 12 months after the creation of LBBB. The hearts were harvested for anatomy observation and histopathological analysis in LBBB dogs and another 7 male beagle dogs(normal control group)matched by age and weight. The correlation between myocardial perfusion(percentage of regional tracer uptake)and myocardial work parameters,myocardial fibrosis in LBBB dogs were analyzed.Results:Compared with baseline,the left ventricular end-diastolic volume of 12 months after the ablation increased[(20.78 ± 5.32)ml vs(26.71 ± 7.94)ml, P = 0.003],left ventricular ejection fraction decreased[(59.17 ± 5.67)% vs(47.69 ± 5.45)%, P<0.001];left ventricular global/segmental longitudinal strain,global/segmental constructive work and global/segmental work efficiency decreased(all P<0.05),left ventricular global/segmental wasted work increased(all P<0.001). Heterogenous perfusion defect was observed in LBBB dogs by SPECT,compared with lateral wall segments,the percentage of regional tracer uptake of septum was decreased(all P<0.05). Gross anatomical and myocardial pathological changes were manifested as cardiomegaly,flaky or focal grayish thickening of endocardium,cardiomyocyte degeneration and fibrosis. Compared with normal control group,the collagen fiber volume fraction(CVF)in all segmental endocardium and partial segmental myocardium of LBBB dogs were significantly increased(all P<0.05). Percentage of regional tracer uptake was positively correlated with segmental myocardial work(SMW)and segmental myocardial efficiency(SWE)( r s = 0.49,0.31;both P<0.001),and negatively correlated with CVF and segmental wasted work(SWW)( r s = -0.51,-0.49;both P<0.001). Conclusions:Isolated LBBB is not benign,which can result in left ventricular remodeling,decreased cardiac constructive function,abnormal myocardial perfusion,endocardial fibrosis and myocardial fibrosis.The parameters of myocardial work assecsed by echocardiograpgy and myocardial perfusion,as non-invasive examination,can to some extent reflect the degree of left ventricular remodeling in LBBB-CM.

Objective:To investigate the biomechanical correlation between ankle instability and osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) under loading conditionsMethods:A healthy 29-year-old male volunteer was selected for the study. A 64-slice spiral CT scan of the right lower limb was performed to construct a detailed finite element model of the ankle joint, including ligaments and cartilage. Three injury models were created: models of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury, lateral collateral ligament injury, and a combined injury of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament. Differences in stress distribution on the tibiotalar joint surface, talus stress, and talus displacement were analyzed through anterior drawer test, inversion stress test, and external rotation stress test.Results:In the anterior drawer test, as the forward traction force increased (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 150 N), all the injury models showed a progressive increase in tibiotalar joint surface stress, talus stress, and talus displacement. The combined injury model showed the highest tibiotalar joint surface stress (32.6 MPa), while the lateral collateral ligament injury model demonstrated the highest talus stress (56.5 MPa). Talus displacement increased significantly with traction, reaching the maximum (4.88 mm) in the combined injury model under 150 N. In the inversion stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface in the lateral collateral ligament injury model was concentrated on the posterior-lateral and posterior-medial regions, whereas in the combined injury model, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was predominantly concentrated in the posterior-medial region. Talus stress was localized to the talus neck and body in all the models, with the combined injury model showing the largest talus displacement (8.46 mm). In the external rotation stress test, stress on the tibiotalar joint surface was mainly distributed in the posterior-medial, posterior-lateral, and anterior-lateral regions in all the models. Talus stress was concentrated at the talus neck and body. The combined injury model exhibited the greatest talus displacement (12.50 mm).Conclusion:Ankle instability, particularly from combined injuries of the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and lateral collateral ligament, significantly increases the stress concentration and talus displacement under loading conditions, thus elevating the risk of OLT.

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.
