Objective To evaluate the transition rules of normal body mass index(BMI),overweight and metabolic syndrome(MetS)in patients with major depressive disorder(MDD).Methods Patients with MDD who had multiple admission records between Jan 2016 and Nov 2021 in Beijing Anding Hospital,Capital Medical University were included.Based on the overweight and metabolic syndrome status assessed at each admission,the patients were categorized into three states:normal BMI,overweight and metabolic syndrome.A multi-state Markov model was used to analyze the transition intensity and transition frequency between three states and the influence of covariates on transitions.Results A total of 892 records of 398 subjects were included,with a median age of 56 years old and 31.4% males.The median follow-up period was 40 months.The multi-state model showed that there were 494 transitions between the three states,of which 5.1% moved from normal BMI to overweight and 5.5% moved from overweight to MetS.The intensity of transition was the highest from overweight to MetS,9.52 times greater than overweight to normal BMI.After 48.53 months,MDD patients with normal BMI began to transition to MetS.For overweight MDD patients,the transition to MetS started after 8.77 months.MDD patients with normal BMI or overweight had 31.4% and 50.4% probabilities of developing Mets after 36 months.For MDD patients comorbid with MetS,the probability of staying at MetS was 51.2% after 36 months.Multivariate analysis showed that being unmarried was a risk factor against developing overweight in normal BMI MDD patients,while a higher level of education was a protective factor against developing MetS in overweight MDD patients.Conclusion MDD patients exhibited a higher intensity and risk of developing MetS,and it is not easy to reverse MetS,suggesting that BMI management and MetS intervention should be strengthened in MDD patients.

Objective:To explore the latent profiles of cognitive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment(MCI)and to analyze the influencing factors, as well as to develop targeted interventions.Methods:The data for this study were obtained from a cross-sectional study conducted from May to December 2023.Peterson's criteria and the Chinese guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of dementia and cognitive impairment(V)were employed to screen for MCI among 1, 650 elderly individuals aged 60 and above in a specific community.The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale(MoCA)and the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D)were utilized to assess cognitive ability and depression levels, respectively.Serum vitamin D3 levels were measured using mass spectrometry.Potential profile models of cognitive function in MCI patients were analyzed using Mplus 8.3, and the influencing factors of the latent profiles were identified through multivariate logistic regression.Results:A total of 327 older adults with MCI were initially screened, revealing a prevalence rate of 19.82%.Out of these, 295 patients were ultimately included in the study.The cognitive impairment of these participants was categorized into three profiles: the mild low-cognitive group(49.15%), the mild low-cognitive with severely low-abstraction group(41.70%), and the severely low-cognitive group(9.15%).Logistic regression analysis identified several independent predictors for the severely low-cognitive group among older adults with MCI: education level(primary and below compared to high school and above: OR=7.343, P<0.001; junior high compared to high school and above: OR=1.689, P=0.004), depression level( OR=1.120, P=0.002), and napping habits(with napping habits compared to without: OR=0.255, P=0.006).Additionally, education level( OR=3.535, P<0.001), depression level( OR=1.125, P<0.001), and serum vitamin D3 levels( OR=0.811, P=0.035)were found to be independent predictors for the mild low-cognitive with severely low-abstraction group in older adults with MCI. Conclusions:Cognitive impairment in older adults with MCI exhibits heterogeneity, which can be categorized into three potential profiles.Targeted interventions should be implemented based on the characteristics and influencing factors of each category to mitigate cognitive decline among older adults with MCI.

Objective:To examine the clinical features and genetic profiles of patients with thyroid peroxidase(TPO) gene mutations and provide diagnostic guidance for clinicians.Methods:A retrospective review of four patients with TPO mutations treated at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from January 2014 to December 2023. Data on demographics, clinical manifestation, genotypes, treatment, and prognosis of these patients were analyzed.Results:Two males and two females, aged 13 to 27 years at diagnosis, presented with goiter as the initial symptom, with three cases menifesting during puberty. Laboratory findings showed mildly elevated or upper-limit-normal serum thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH) levels, significantly increased free triiodothyronine/free thyroxine(FT 3/FT 4) ratios, and elevated thyroglobulin(TG) levels. Genetic testing revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic or likely pathogenic TPO mutations. Despite regular levothyroxine(L-T 4) therapy, goiter persisted. Three patients required thyroidectomy due to cosmetic or compressive symptoms, with pathology showing follicular hyperplasia. Conclusion:TPO mutations are characterized by adolescent-onset goiter, elevated FT 3/FT 4 ratios, and normal to high TSH. Genetic testing confirms the diagnosis. L-T 4 offers limited improvement, and surgery is often needed.
