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 delve into the molecular mechanism underlying the increased pathogenicity of the recombinant Muscovy duck parvovirus(rMDPV)towards Muscovy ducklings,two sub-genom-ic fragments of the rMDPV strain ZW were cloned into the plasmid pBluescript Ⅱ(SK)to gener-ate the recombinant plasmid pZW.A single nucleotide mutation was engineered in the VP3 gene of pZW to discriminate from the parental strain ZW.pZW plasmid-lipid complex was transfected into the chorioallantoic membrane of 11-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos,resulting in res-cue of infectious virus,rZW,carrying the genetic marker.The rescued virus was passaged in 12-day-old embryonated Muscovy duck embryos and exhibited the similar medium embryo lethal dose(ELD50)value and growth curve compared to the parental strain ZW.Both rZW and strain ZW led to 100％mortality in the infection tests performed with 3-day-old Muscovy duckling.Postmortem necropsy revealed a characteristic intestine embolism formed in the rZW-infected ducklings.Taken together,the generation of the infectious clone pZW lays a solid foundation for deciphering the pathogenesis of rMDPV.

Objective:To investigate the factors influencing the delayed onset of intrapartum fever following epidural labor analgesia and their impact on maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods:Select parturients who experienced intrapartum fever following labor analgesia(T≥38.0℃,age≥18 years,singleton pregnancy,ASA classification Ⅱ)between January 1,2021,and December 31,2023.Group them based on the median time of intra-partum fever onset after labor analgesia:those with onset times less than the median were classified as the ear-ly-onset fever group,and those with onset times greater than the median were classified as the late-onset fever group.Using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis to explore factors influencing the delay in in-trapartum fever onset and the pregnancy outcomes of the mothers and newborns in both groups.Results:A total of 253 parturients were included,and the time range of onset of intrapartum fever following epidural labor analgesi-a was 1.83-28.42 hours,with a median fever onset time of 8.00 hours.There were 126 cases in the early-onset group and 127 in the late-onset group.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that primiparous women,artificial membrane rupture,and neonatal birth weight were independent risk factors for delayed fever onset(OR＞1,P＜0.05),whereas the administration of oxytocin prior to labor analgesia was found to be a protective factor(OR＜1,P＜0.05).The late-onset group exhibited higher levels of white blood cells(WBC),C-reactive pro-tein,longer hospital stays,higher hospitalization costs,greater diagnosis rates of chorioamnionitis,higher NICU ad-mission rates,as well as a higher incidence of neonatal pneumonia,for newborns compared to the early-onset group(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Primiparous women,artificial membrane rupture,and higher neonatal birth weight may be associated with delayed onset of intrapartum fever,while oxytocin administration prior to labor analgesia may offer some protective benefit.The later the onset of intrapartum fever,the worse the clinical outcomes for both mother and infants.

Objective To observe CT manifestations of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome(FHCS).Methods Data of 23 patients with FHCS were retrospectively analyzed,and non-enhanced and enhanced abdominal and pelvic CT manifestations were observed.Results All 23 cases were found with pelvic inflammation,peritonitis,perihepatic inflammation,as well as abdominal and pelvic adhesion.The main manifestations of pelvic inflammation included pelvic effusion(23/23,100％),inflammatory changes of uterus and accessories(17/23,73.91％),and the latter presented as tubal thickening(8/17,47.06％)or tubal cystic dilatation and effusion(9/17,52.94％),with ovarian enlargement(8/9,88.89％)or nodules on uterine surface(1/9,11.11％).The main CT manifestations of peritonitis were peritoneal thickening(23/23,100％)and peritoneal nodules(15/23,65.22％),of perihepatic inflammation were mainly liver capsule enhancement(23/23,100％),subcapsular transient perfusion abnormality(16/23,69.57％),perihepatic effusion(20/23,86.96％)and perihepatic"violin-string sign"(16/23,69.57％).No inflammation in the bare area of liver was noticed.Among 23 cases,3 cases(3/23,13.04％)complicated with mechanical ileus,19 cases(19/23,82.61％)were accompanied by mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes enlargement with uniform or circular enhancement.Conclusion The main CT manifestations of FHCS included pelvic inflammation,peritonitis,perihepatic inflammation,as well as abdominal and pelvic adhesion,having certain characteristics.

Excessive fat accumulation,viral infections and sustained inflammatory responses caused by non-alcoholic and alcoholic factors can contribute to liver inflammation,fibrosis and carcinogenesis,promoting the development of chronic liver disease.Gaining an in-depth understanding of the etiologic factors and underlying mechanisms that lead to chronic liver disease can help identify potential therapeutic targets for targeted therapy.Lactate,as an important substance in hepatic metabolism,has been found to be involved in the process of chronic liver disease through various pathways,and this review will provide a useful reference for the prevention and treatment of chronic liver disease.

A 3-month-old female infant was admitted for incessant crying for 3 days.Examination revealed a rapidly growing massive retroperitoneal mass that was difficult to resect.Needle biopsy confirmed infantile fibrosarcoma.Initial chemotherapy with the VAC regimen(vincristine,actinomycin D,and cyclophosphamide)was administered,but the response was poor.The common fusion in infantile fibrosarcoma is ETV6-NTRK3,and next-generation sequencing detected an RBPMS-NTRK3 gene fusion in this patient.To our knowledge,this is the first reported case of infantile fibrosarcoma with RBPMS-NTRK3 fusion in China.Treatment with larotrectinib resulted in marked tumor shrinkage.

Objective:To establish a stable rat model of sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease(SPID)with clinical characteristics,and to provide a reliable experimental model for the study of the pharmcological effect and mechanism of SPID.Methods:Twenty-four 7-week-old SD rats were divided into sham operation group,model-A(108 cfu/mL mixed bacterial solution,0.2 mL),model-B(109 cfu/mL mixed bacterial solution 0.2 mL),and model-C(108 cfu/mL E.coli 0.2 mL).The weight of the rat's uterine was weighed and the uterine index was calculated.The automatic hematology analyzer was used to detect the blood routine;hematoxylin-eosin staining(HE)and masson staining were used to detect uterine pathlogical changes in rats.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in rat uterine tissue homogenates.Western blot was used to detect the expression of proteins related to NF-κB signaling pathway.Results:Compared with the sham operation group,the uterine index of model-A,model-B,and model-C were significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The levels of WBC and NE in the model-A increased significantly(P＜0.01).The level of LY in model-B decreased significantly(P＜0.01).The levels of IL-1β,TNF-α in model-A,model-B,and model-C were significantly increased(P＜0.01).The levels of IL-6 in model-A and model-B were significantly increased(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The collagen volume fraction of model-A and model-B were significantly increased(P＜0.01).Mechanism study indicates that the expression levels of p-IKKβ/IKKβ,p-IκBα/IκBα and p-p65/p65 in model-A were significantly increased(P＜0.01),and the expression levels of IκBα/β-actin were significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The expression level of p-IKKβ/IKKβ in model-B was significantly increased(P＜0.01).Conclusions:A stable rat model of SPID that conforms to clinical characteristics can be successfully constructed by combining 0.2 mL of mixed bacterial solution with a concentration of 108 cfu/mL and mechanical injury.This modeling method intervened in the expression of the NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway.

This study explored the effects and underlying mechanism of Raf kinase inhibitory protein(RKIP)on apoptosis in mast cells sensitized by Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid.Bone marrow-derived mast cells(BMMCs)were isolated and cultured from RKIP knockout(KO)and wild-type(WT)C57BL/6 mice.Cells were divided into control and sensitized groups.The sensitized group was incubated for 24 h in RPMI1640 medium containing 10%serum from mice infected with E.granulosus,then activated for 3 h or 6 h with E.granulosus cyst fluid.The control group was incubated for 24 h in RPMI1640 medium,and then received an equal vol-ume of PBS.Cells and supernatants were collected for analysis.Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of CD117 and FcεRⅠα on BMMCs.The levels of β-hexosaminidase,IL-4,and TNF-α in the supernatant were quantified with ELISA.Western blot analy-sis was used to assess expression changes in RKIP,apoptosis-related proteins,and pathway proteins in BMMC before and after sensi-tization.Flow cytometry analysis revealed that after 4 weeks of induction,the CD117 and FcεRⅠα double-positivity rates on both WT and KO BMMC exceeded 90%.ELISA indicated that the E.granulosus cyst fluid resulted in significantly greater β-hexosaminidase re-lease(F=16.88,P<0.05),and levels of IL-4(F=16.51,P<0.05)and TNF-α(F=9.78,P<0.05)in the KO sensitized group than the WT sensitized group.With respect to the WT control group,the WT sensitized group showed significantly down-regulated pro-tein expression levels of RKIP(F=8.20,P<0.05)and Bcl-2(F=101.40,P<0.01)after 3 h,but significantly up-regulated levels of p-PI3K(F=8.04,P<0.05),p-Akt(F=32.52,P<0.01),p-P65(F=13.29,P<0.05),and cleaved-caspase-3(F=46.34,P<0.01).With respect to the WT sensitized group,the KO sensitized group showed significantly up-regulated protein expression of p-PI3K(F=8.45,P<0.05),p-Akt(F=8.58,P<0.05),p-P65(F=11.02,P<0.05),and Bcl-2(F=84.50,P<0.001)after 3 h,but significantly down-regulated expression of cleaved-caspase-3(F=15.66,P<0.05).In conclusion,RKIP may inhibit the PI3K/Akt/NF-κB pathway,thereby inducing apoptosis in mast cells sensitized by E.granulosus cyst fluid.This process may help ease aller-gic reactions caused by mast cells in echinococcosis,thus offering a promising new approach for preventing and treating such reactions.

BACKGROUND:Acute lung injury is a common severe complication in sepsis patients,with a complex pathogenesis,for which there is currently no effective pharmacological treatment.The therapeutic mechanism by which human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells improve sepsis-induced acute lung injury through the inhibition of excessive cellular pyroptosis is increasingly receiving attention.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects and mechanisms of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells on cellular pyroptosis in lung tissues of mice with sepsis-induced acute lung injury.METHODS:Totally 48 male Balb/c mice were randomly divided into sham,model,and treatment groups(n=16 per group).The model and treatment groups underwent cecum ligation and puncture to establish a sepsis-induced acute lung injury model,while the sham group underwent laparotomy without further procedures.The treatment group received a tail vein injection of 200 μL of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell suspension(5x105 cells)6 hours after the procedure,while the model and sham groups received 200 μL of saline 6 hours after the surgery.Twenty-eight hours post-procedure,five mice from each group were randomly selected for tail vein injection of Evans blue dye to assess pulmonary vascular permeability.The remaining mice from each group had their bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lung tissues collected for ELISA to measure levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18,cell counts,and macrophage numbers in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of lung tissue.TUNEL staining was used to assess cellular pyroptosis.RT-PCR and western blot analyses were conducted to measure mRNA and protein expression levels of Toll-like receptor 4,GSDMD,and Caspase-11 in lung tissues.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared to the model group,the treatment group showed a significant decrease in pulmonary vascular permeability at 28 hours post-procedure(P＜0.05),reduced levels of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(P＜0.05),and lower cell and macrophage counts(P＜0.05).Lung injury severity was reduced,with a decreased pyroptosis index(P＜0.05)and significantly lower levels of Toll-like receptor 4,GSDMD,GSDMD-N,and Caspase-11 mRNA and protein expression in lung tissues(P＜0.05).These results suggest that human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells may improve the severity of sepsis-induced lung injury to some extent by inhibiting the activation of the Toll-like receptor 4/Caspase-11/GSDMD signaling pathway and reducing cellular pyroptosis in lung tissues.

At present,the laboratory medicine industry in China has developed rapidly,with various new technologies and methods emerge one after another. However,the current training process of laboratory medicine technology professionals still follows a training model that emphasizes theyory over practice,and the quality of training personnel is far from the requirments of the current development of the laboratory medicine industry in China. In order to effectively alleviate the current situation of the shortage of practical high-quality laboratory medicine talents,it is urgent to reform the teaching of laboratory medicine. The author of this paper puts forward the "Four-in-one" personnel training mode which is suitable for the development of laboratory medicine in China. It is proposed to explore a new teaching mode on the basis of the existing one,giving full play to the students' initiative and innovation,and providing new ideas for training high-quality laboratory medicine professionals.
