Resistance to poly adenosine diphosphate(ADP)-ribose polymerase inhibitor(PARPi)presents a considerable obstacle in the treatment of ovarian cancer.F-box and tryptophan-aspartic(WD)repeat domain containing 11(FBXW11)modulates the ubiquitination of growth-and invasion-related factors in lung cancer,colorectal cancer,and osteosarcoma.The function of FBXW11 in PARPi therapy is still ambiguous.In this study,RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)showed that FBXW11 expression was raised in ovarian cancer cells that had been treated with PARPi.FBXW11 was abnormally expressed at low levels in high-grade serous ovarian cancer(HGSOC)tissues,and low levels of FBXW11 were associated with shorter overall survival(OS)and progression-free survival(PFS)in HGSOC patients.Overexpressing FBXW11 made ovarian cancer more sensitive to PARPi,while knocking down FBXW11 made it less sensitive.The four-dimensional(4D)label-free quantitative proteomic analysis revealed that FBXW11 targeted S100 calcium binding protein A11(S100A11)and promoted its degradation through ubiquiti-nation.The increased degradation of S100A11 led to less efficient DNA damage repair,which in turn contributed to increased PARPi-induced DNA damage.The role of FBXW11 in promoting PARPi sensitivity was also confirmed in xenograft mouse models.In summary,our study confirms that FBXW11 promotes the susceptibility of ovarian cancer cells to PARPi via affecting S10OA11-mediated DNA damage repair.

Purpose:
This study assessed the performance of the ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter (UGAP) in diagnosing and grading hepatic steatosis in patients with metabolic dysfunctionassociated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) served as the reference standard.
Methods:
Patients with hepatic steatosis were enrolled in this prospective study and underwent UGAP measurements. MRI-PDFF values of ≥5%, ≥15%, and ≥25% were used as references for the diagnosis of steatosis grades ≥S1, ≥S2, and S3, respectively. Spearman correlation coefficients and area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) were calculated.
Results:
Between July 2023 and June 2024, the study included 88 patients (median age, 40 years; interquartile range [IQR], 36 to 46 years), of whom 54.5% (48/88) were men and 45.5% (40/88) were women. Steatosis grades exhibited the following distribution: 22.7% (20/88) had S0, 50.0% (44/88) had S1, 21.6% (19/88) had S2, and 5.7% (5/88) had S3. The success rate for UGAP measurements was 100%. The median UGAP value was 0.74 dB/cm/MHz (IQR, 0.65 to 0.82 dB/ cm/MHz), and UGAP values were positively correlated with MRI-PDFF (r=0.77, P<0.001). The AUCs of UGAP for the diagnoses of ≥S1, ≥S2, and S3 steatosis were 0.91, 0.90, and 0.88, respectively. In the subgroup analysis, 98.4% (60/61) of patients had valid controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) values. UGAP measurements were positively correlated with CAP values (r=0.65, P<0.001).
Conclusion
Using MRI-PDFF as the reference standard, UGAP demonstrates good diagnostic performance in the detection and grading of hepatic steatosis in patients with MASLD.

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.
