BACKGROUND:Research suggests that exercise interventions may be more advantageous than pharmacologic treatments or dietary restriction alone for fat loss,but fewer studies have simultaneously examined the effects of training modalities and training cycles on visceral and subcutaneous fat in obese populations. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the impact of training modalities and training cycles on visceral and subcutaneous fat in recessive obesity female college students. METHODS:Sixty-three female college students with hidden obesity(body mass index<24 kg/m2 and body fat content percentage≥30%)were recruited from Zhengzhou College of Commerce and Industry,and were randomly divided into a high-intensity intermittent training group(n=32)and a moderate-intensity continuous training group(n=31)using the lottery method.Subjects in both groups performed exercise training of corresponding intensity on a running platform and ensured that the exercise volume of both groups was equal,3 times per week,every 4 weeks as one training cycle for 16 weeks.Before training and at the end of each training cycle,subjects'visceral fat,subcutaneous fat,and overall fat were measured using the corresponding test devices. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The repeated measures F results indicated that the main effects of training cycles on visceral fat area,visceral fat index,abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness,percentage of body fat and body mass index were significant,while the main effects of training modalities were significant for subcutaneous fat thickness in the triceps brachii and scapula regions.All the interaction effects between training modalities and training cycles were significant(P<0.05).Results from the simple effect tests revealed that the significant simple effects of training modalities at the 4th and 12th weeks for visceral fat area and visceral fat index,at the 8th and 12th weeks for subcutaneous fat thickness in the triceps brachii,scapula region,and abdominal regions,and at the 8th week for the percentage of body fat and body mass index.Simple effects of training cycles were significant for all measures within each group.(3)The results of multiple comparison tests indicated that in the high-intensity intermittent training group,visceral fat area,visceral fat index,percentage of body fat,body mass index and abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness decreased sequentially at the 4th,8th,12th,and 16th weeks,and subcutaneous fat thickness of the triceps brachii and scapula decreased sequentially at the 8th,12th,and 16th weeks(P<0.05).In the moderate-intensity continuous training group,visceral fat area,visceral fat index,subcutaneous fat thickness of the triceps brachii and scapula,percentage of body fat and body mass index decreased successively at the 8th,12th,and 16th weeks,while abdominal subcutaneous fat thickness decreased successively at the 4th,8th,12th,and 16th weeks(P<0.05).To conclude,both training modalities and training cycles are factors influencing visceral and subcutaneous fat in recessive obesity female college students.Training modality primarily affects subcutaneous fat in the triceps brachii and scapular region,but the fat loss effects may converge over a longer training cycle;training cycle primarily affects visceral fat area,visceral fat index,abdominal subcutaneous fat,body fat content,and body mass index.

Objective:To investigate the promoting effect of individualized instruction combined with a blended learning model (IIBLM) in continuing training of neurology.Methods:A total of 93 trainees who received continuing training in Department of Neurology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, from August 2022 to December 2024 were enrolled as subjects. The 50 trainees registered since January 2024 were enrolled as observation group and received IIBLM teaching, including sub-specialty modular training, a cycle-adaptive cultivation system, a "mutual-selection" mentorship program, an on/off-line dual-track curriculum system, a dynamic course allocation mechanism based on "mutual selection", and a competency growth evaluation system, while the 43 trainees registered before January 2024 were enrolled as control group and received traditional teaching. A questionnaire survey and comprehensive competency assessments were performed to evaluate the effect of teaching, and the t-test, the chi-square test, and the qualitative analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed systematic improvements in clinical contents, theoretical curriculum, faculty competency, and workflow arrangement during continuing training, with a significant difference in the score of workflow arrangement between the two groups [(9.58±0.67) vs. (9.07±1.44), t=-2.13, P=0.037]. The observation group had a score of (97.70±1.30) for dynamic course allocation, an overall satisfaction rate of 97.15%, and a course benefit rate of 97.55%. The qualitative analysis showed that the trainees in the control group mainly complained of course monotony, while those in the observation group expected to enhance interdisciplinary integration and the cultivation of scientific research abilities. In addition, the results of competency assessment showed a continuous improvement in teaching effect after reform, with no significant difference. Conclusions:IIBLM teaching effectively enhances professional qualities, clinical competency, and the degree of satisfaction with courses among the trainees receiving continuing training, and it also revealed the necessity of interdisciplinary collaborative teaching and the integration of research and clinical practice.

Objective To observe the value of intraoperative ultrasound(IOUS)for microsurgical resection of primary supratentorial glioblastoma.Methods Totally 130 cases of central nervous system WHO grade 4 primary supratentorial glioblastoma confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively enrolled and divided into IOUS group and control group(each n=65)based on whether IOUS was used during operation.The general information,resection related indicators and postoperative complications were compared between groups,and the application value of IOUS was analyzed.Results In IOUS group,the tumor depth was greater,while the intraoperative bleeding,duration of hospitalization and operation-duration were all less than those in control group(all P＜0.05).Postoperative complications occurred in 28 cases of IOUS group and 29 cases of control group,and the incidence of subdural effusion in IOUS group was lower than that in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion IOUS could effectively reduce intraoperative bleeding,duration of hospitalization,operation-duration and incidence of postoperative subdural effusion in microsurgical resection of primary supratentorial glioblastoma.

Atherosclerosis(As)is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease and serves as the pathological basis for various cardiovascular diseases.Epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate(EGCG)is the most abundant and biologically active com-pound in green tea,possessing multiple pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory,antiviral,and antioxidative stress properties.In recent years,studies have found that EGCG can regulate lipid metabolism,improve vascular endo-thelial function,and enhance plaque stability,demonstrating its potential value in combating As.This article provides a systematic review of the mechanisms underlying EGCG's anti-As effects,aiming to offer multi-faceted theoretical support for its further research and clinical application in the prevention and treatment of As.

Objective To report a case of fungal keratitis caused by plant pathogens,evidenced by laboratory testing.Methods Specimens were collected by corneal scraping from a 52-year-old male patient for pathogen culture.The patient was treated at Qionghai People's Hospital for fungal keratitis.The isolates were identified and tested for antimicrobial susceptibility.PubMed,CNKI,Wanfang,and VIP database were searched using keywords Diaporthe or Diaporthe phaseolorum in English and Chinese from the establishment of the database to December 10,2024.A retrospective literature review was conducted on the cases of human infection caused by Diaporthe.Results The specimens from corneal scraping were directly examined under a microscope.Septate fungal hyphae were observed.The isolate was identified as Diaporthe phaseolorum by targeted DNA sequencing.Antimicrobial susceptibility testing by microdilution method showed that the minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC)of fluorocytosine,fluconazole,amphotericin B,voriconazole,itraconazole,posaconazole,micafungin,caspofungin,and anidulafungin against this strain were＞64,64,0.5,0.12,2,0.06,0.03,＜0.03,and 0.12 mg/L,respectively.Clinicians adjusted the antifungal treatment plan timely based on the antimicrobial susceptibility testing results.The patient's vision was restored.Literature review found that of the 12 reported cases of infection worldwide,6 were localized skin or soft tissue infections,3 were peritonitis,and the remaining 3 cases were keratitis.Overall,9 patients were immunocompromised and 3 had normal immune function.Human infections caused by Diaporthe often occur in immunocompromised individuals.Invasive infections often lead to patient mortality.There are no established breakpoints for common antifungal agents against Diaporthe.The MICs against the strain were higher for flucytosine and fluconazole,but lower for azoles,echinocandins,and polyenes.Conclusions Fungal keratitis caused by D.phaseolorum is an emerging infection.The information in this case,including clinical symptoms,the morphology of D.phaseolorum under microscope after corneal scraping,the growth characteristics and antifungal susceptibility testing,targeted DNA sequencing,can inform the microbiology laboratory staff and clinicians of D.phaseolorum infections in the future.

Objective To assess renal oxygen metabolism and iron deposition in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients using a combination of blood oxygen level-dependent(BOLD)and mDixon Quant techniques.Methods Clinical data of 58 T2DM patients from Tianjin First Central Hospital(September 2022-December 2023)were prospectively collected.According to urinary albumin-to-creation ratio(ACR),patients were divided into the normal albuminuria(NAU,ACR＜30 mg/g,n=35)group and the microalbuminuria(MAU,30 mg/g≤ACR＜300 mg/g,n=23)group.Thirty-three healthy volunteers were included as the control group during the same period.All participants underwent renal BOLD and mDixon Quant MRI to obtain cortical and medullary apparent relaxation rate(R2*)values.The differences of general data and image parameter values were compared between groups.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of relevant parameters for early renal function changes.Results There were significant differences in body weight,estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)and ACR between the control group,the NAU group and the MAU group(P＜0.01).The R2* value in renal cortex was lower than that in renal medulla(P＜0.01)in the same group.Apart from R2* value of BOLD renal cortex,which showed no significant difference between the three groups(P＜0.05),and the differences in the other parameters were statistically significant(P<0.05).When distinguishing between the control group and the NAU group,the NAU group and the MAU group,as well as between the control group and the early-stage T2DM(NAU+MAU)group,the combined two-sequence approach demonstrated higher area under the curve(AUCs)than any single sequence alone,with AUC value of 0.892(95%CI:0.809-0.975),0.785(95%CI:0.666-0.904)and 0.841(95%CI:0.756-0.926),respectively.Conclusion The combination of BOLD imaging with mDixon Quant enables noninvasive and quantitative assessment of alterations in renal oxygen metabolism and iron content in early-stage T2DM patients.The diagnostic performance of this combined approach surpasses that of individual methods.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), known for its stable secretion patterns, has become a reliable indicator for evaluating ovarian reserve. Concurrently, inhibin B peaks around the seventh day of the menstrual cycle during the mid-follicular phase and provides unique insights into real-time ovarian function through its regulatory interactions with follicle-stimulating hormone. This article delves deeply into the crucial roles of AMH and inhibin B in assessing ovarian reserve and overall reproductive health. The article also discusses the importance of integrating AMH and inhibin B with other clinical indicators into artificial intelligence tools. This integration significantly enhances diagnostic precision, optimizes personalized treatment strategies, and advances the accuracy and convenience of ovarian function assessments. Furthermore, the article forecasts the future clinical applications of these biomarkers, emphasizing their central role in driving innovation and data-driven applications in reproductive health management.
