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.

Purpose: This study evaluated the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) treatment of symptomatic focal uterine adenomyosis. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted between March 2020 and January 2023, enrolling 52 patients with symptomatic focal uterine adenomyosis who had undergone MWA. All patients were examined with CEUS before and after MWA. The non-perfused volume (NPV) was compared between CEUS and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCEMRI) following ablation. Therapeutic efficacy and safety were evaluated at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-ups. Additionally, this study explored the correlations between pre-treatment CEUS features and a volume reduction ratio indicating sufficient ablation, defined as 50% or more at the 3-month follow-up. Results: No significant differences in NPV were noted between CEUS and DCE-MRI immediately after MWA and during follow-up (all P>0.05). At the 3-month follow-up, the median VRRs for the uterus and adenomyosis were 33.2% and 63.9%, respectively. Sufficient ablation was achieved in 69.2% (36/52) of adenomyosis cases, while partial ablation was observed in the remaining 30.8% (16/52). The identification of non-enhancing areas on pre-treatment CEUS was associated with sufficient ablation (P=0.016). At the 12-month follow-up, significant decreases were observed in both the uterine and adenomyosis volumes (all P<0.001). Dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia were significantly alleviated at 12 months, and no major complications were encountered. Conclusion CEUS can be used to evaluate the ablation zone of focal adenomyosis that has been treated with MWA, similarly to DCE-MRI. The identification of non-enhancing areas on pretreatment CEUS indicates satisfactory treatment outcomes.

Objective:To investigate the effects of visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis and transcutaneous low-frequency electrical stimulation(TES)on hypoxia-induced ED in high-altitude areas.Methods:This study included 152 ED pa-tients from high-altitude hypoxic areas treated by TES based on the parameters obtained from visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis.We followed up the patients for 1 to 3 months and compared their ⅡEF-5 scores,nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity(NPTR)and infrared thermal metabolic technology(TMT)-based temperature of the whole body and diseased parts before and after treatment.Results:All the patients successfully completed 1 to 3 courses of TES.There were no statistically significant differences in the ⅡEF-5 scores(P＜0.05)and penile tip optimal erection rigidity and duration(P＜0.01)of the patients before and after treat-ment.TMT images indicated a temperature change of＞1.5 ℃ in the penis and bilateral inguinal regions after treatment,suggesting the effectiveness of electrical stimulation.No recurrence was observed during the follow-up.Conclusion:TES based on the parame-ters obtained from visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis has a definite effect on hypoxia-induced ED by enhancing oxygen supply to the penile corpus cavernosum and improving its function and structure.

Objective To establish a renal cell co-culture system to simulate the renal barrier system,and to test its responsiveness to different glucose concentrations,and to investigate the regulatory effect of miR-29b-3p on osteopontin(OPN)/transforming growth factor β(TGF-β)pathway and the changes of this pathway under high glucose condition.Methods The three-cell co-culture system consisting of human renal podocytes,human glomerular mesangial cells and human renal tubular epithelial cells was established to test the cell viability and glucose consumption value at glucose concentrations of 5,8,12 and 16 mmol/L.The content of TGF-β and OPN in cell supernatant was measured.The recombinant plasmid and siRNA of OPN were transfected,and the expressions of TGF-β and OPN were detected by Q-PCR and Western blot.Results The mRNA expressions of OPN,TGF-β and miR-29b were significantly increased at 12 mmol/L glucose conditions.Western blot results showed that the protein expression of OPN increased in high glucose conditions,while the protein expression of TGF-β did not change significantly.After adding miR-29b-3p activator,the mRNA levels of OPN and TGF-β in the cell supernatant were significantly increased.After adding miR-29b-3p inhibitor,the mRNA levels of OPN and TGF-β in the cell supernatant were significantly decreased.Western blot results showed that compared with 5 mmol/L glucose,the protein expressions of OPN and TGF-β were increased by miR-29b-3p activator,and the protein expressions of OPN and TGF-β were decreased by miR-29b-3p inhibitor.After transfection with OPN recombinant plasmid,the content of TGF-β in the cell supernatant was significantly increased,and the mRNA expressions of OPN and TGF-β in the cells were significantly increased.After transfection with OPN siRNA,the content of TGF-β in the cell supernatant was decreased,and the expression of OPN mRNA in the cells was significantly decreased,but the expression of TGF-β mRNA was not significantly increased.Conclusion The renal cell co-culture system can mimic the complex renal environment in vivo.When induced by high glucose,cell proliferation is inhibited,glucose consumption is increased,and the content of TGF-β in the cell supernatant is increased,and miR-29b-3p has a regulatory effect on OPN/TGF-β signaling pathway in the co-culture system.
