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.

In order to strengthen the management of disinfection quality of endoscopes, Quality Control Center of Digestive Endoscopy and Nosocomial Infection Control Center of Yunnan Province investigated the diagnosis, treatment, cleaning and disinfection conditions and disinfection quality of digestive endoscopes in some medical institutions of Yunnan Province by web questionnaire from April to May in 2019, and 277 valid questionnaires were finally obtained. SPSS 19.0 statistical software was used to analyze the influencing factors of cleaning and disinfection process and the infection control implementation of digestive endoscopes in 227 secondary and tertiary hospitals. The results showed that the number of decontamination people who had received systematic training in Yunnan Province was significantly lower than that in other areas of China. The hospital level, the number of decontamination personnel, and decontamination methods affected the implementation of cleaning and decontamination process and infection control, while the allocation of decontamination supplies had no effects. It is important to establish an effective mechanism for the normalized implementation of cleaning and disinfection of digestive endoscopes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the regulatory role of retinoid X receptor (RXR)-mediated oxidative stress pathway in rat pulmonary ischemia/reperfusion injury (PIRI) and the underlying mechanism. Seventy-seven male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 7 groups (n = 11): control group, sham group, sham+9-cis-retinoid acid (9-cRA, RXR agonist) group, sham+HX531 (RXR inhibitor) group, ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group, I/R+9-cRA group, and I/R+HX531 group. The unilateral lung I/R model was established by obstruction of left lung hilus for 30 min and reperfusion for 180 min in vivo. The rats in I/R+9-cRA and I/R+HX531 groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 9-cRA and HX531 before thoracotomy. After reperfusion, the left lung tissue was taken to evaluate the lung tissue injury, and the oxidative stress-related indexes of the lung tissue were detected by the corresponding kits. The lung tissue morphology and the ultrastructure of the alveolar epithelial cells were observed by HE staining and transmission electron microscope, respectively. The protein expression of RXR in lung tissue was observed by immunofluorescence labeling method, and the expression level of nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf2) protein was detected by Western blot. The results showed that, compared with the sham group, the I/R group exhibited obviously injured lung tissue, decreased SOD activity, increased MDA content and MPO activity, and down-regulated expression level of Nrf2 protein. Compared with the I/R group, the I/R+9-cRA group showed alleviated lung tissue injury, increased activity of SOD, decreased MDA content and MPO activity, and up-regulated expression levels of RXR and Nrf2 protein. The above-mentioned improvement effects of 9-cRA were reversed by HX531 treatment. These results suggest that RXR activation can effectively protect the lung tissue against I/R injury, and the mechanism may involve the activation of Nrf2 signaling pathway, the enhancement of antioxidant level and the reduction of oxidative stress response.

Objective The aim of our study was to investigate the influence of hexavalent chromium exposure on mRNA expression of cell cycle related genes in electroplating workers, and to provide population data for investigating the toxic mechanisms of hexavalent chromium. Methods A total of 155 cases of workers occupationally exposed to hexavalent chromium were selected, including 89 males and 66 females, and the average age of workers was 39.65±8.856 years old. Questionnaire was used to collect essential information of workers. Peripheral blood was collected from electroplating workers. The inductively couple plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MAS) was used to measure total blood chromium content. The workers were divided into four groups according to the blood chromium content. After extracting total RNA from whole blood and reverse transcription, the mRNA expression levels of p16 and CDK6 genes were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Meanwhile, the levels of blood chromium (BCr) and the mRNA expression of p16 and CDK6 genes were compared among four groups. The impact of BCr, smoking habits, drinking habits, gender on the mRNA expression of CDK6 gene was analyzed. Results The levels of BCr in group 1 to 4 were 0.04ppb, 0.47±0.29 ppb, 2.76±1.16 ppb, 9.36 ±4.38 ppb, respectively, and the difference between every two groups was significant (P<0.05) . The median of p16 gene expression in four groups was 4.22, 7.19, 7.47, and 14.60, respectively, and the difference between every two groups was not significant (P>0.05) . The mRNA expression levels of CDK6 gene in groups 2 to 4 were 15.05, 8.03 and 24.81, respectively, which were significantly higher than that in group 1 (P<0.05) . The results of logistic regression showed that the level of Bcr was the main influence factor, while smoking habits, drinking habits and gender had no obvious impact on the mRNA expression of CDK6 gene. Conclusions Long-term exposure of hexavalent chromium led to higher mRNA expression of CDK6 gene, and it may serve as a biomarker for workers occupationally exposed to hexavalent chromium.

Objective To explore the therapeutic effects of endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) combined with percutaneous continuous circumsuture (PCCS) and EVLA in treating severe great saphena varicose. Methods A total of 60 patients with unilateral great saphenous varicose level C5-C6 were randomly divided into control group and experimental group according to the CEAP system. Control group was given EVLA surgery while experimental group was given EVLA+PCCS surgery. Data of operation time, hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, the rate of ulcer healing, variceal recurrence rate and postoperative complication rate within 6 months after operation were compared between two groups. Results The mean operative time and intraoperative blood loss were lower in the experimental group than those in the control group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hospital stay, ulcer healing rate and recurrence rate between two groups ( P>0.05). No deep venous thrombosis was found after treatment in two groups. The occurrence rates of skin burns and subcutaneous ecchymosis were significantly lower in the experimental group than those in the control group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of other complications between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion EVLA combined with PCCS in the treatment of severe saphenous varicose veins can significantly shorten the operation time, reduce the amount of bleeding, reduce the incidence rates of skin burns and subcutaneous ecchymosis on the premise of promising cure rate and recurrence rate. Overall, the combination therapy is superior than monotherapy.

Objective To investigate the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal clinical outcomes of fetal congenital choledochal cyst (CCC) to improve the recognition and treatment of fetal CCC.Methods Clinical data of 23 cases of fetal CCC which were diagnosed during routine prenatal ultrasonic examination in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital from June 2009 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzzed. Maternal age, gestational age at diagnosis of CCC, location and size of cyst, postnatal examination, age at operation and follow-up outcomes were recorded and statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test.Results (1) Among the 23 cases, six (26%) were terminated and the rest 17 continued their pregnancies (74%). (2) Results of the prenatal ultrasonography of the 23 cases indicated that hepatic portal cysts were closely related to hepatic portal veins or arteries. Six of the cysts communicated with gall bladder and eight connected to intrahepatic bile duct. The maximum diameter of the cysts in the 23 cases was 16.0-31.0 mm, averagely (24.7±3.7) mm. The maximum diameter of cysts diagnosed in the third trimester was significantly larger than that in the second trimester [ 27.0 (22.0-31.0) vs 23.0 (21.0-25.0) mm,Z=-2.134,P<0.05]. (3) Among the 17 cases of continued pregnancy, one underwent cesarean section at 35+ weeks of gestation and 16 delivered at term with the average gestational age at delivery of (38.2±1.1) weeks. All neonates were re-examined by abdominal ultrasound at 1-2 postnatal weeks and confimed prenatal diagnosed of CCC. (4) The 17 neonates were re-examined by abdominal ultrasound during the second postnatal week and the results showed that cyst size remained the same in four, decreased in one and gradually increased with the gestational age in 12 neonates. Among the 16 cases of confirmed CCC, 12 received surgery, including 11 (Ⅰa, 6;Ⅰc, 3;Ⅳb, 2) within one year-old and one (Ⅰc) around 18 months old. The prognosis was uneventful. Four out of the 16 cases rejected surgical operation and were followed up in outpatient. One neonate was diagnosed with congenital biliary atresia and transferred to Children's Hospital for operation.Conclusions When fetal abdominal cyst presented with hepatic portal cyst which communicates with gallbladder or intra-hepatic duct in ultrasonography, a congenital choledochal cyst should be taken into consideration by excluding the possibility of biliary atresia in the first place. Surgery for CCC infants without symptoms or signs is suggested to be performed around three months after birth. The postoperative prognosis of CCC is favorable, so termination is not recommended for gravidas with fetal CCC in prenatal consultation.
