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.

Objective To study the death status of pancreatic cancer among residents in Xuhui district, Shanghai, from 1992 to 2021, and analyze its trends of change, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of pancreatic cancer. Methods Based on the database of Shanghai death registration system from 1992 to 2021, the crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, age-specific mortality rate and other indicators of pancreatic cancer among registered residents in Xuhui district were calculated. The Joinpoint software was used to analyze the trends of average annual percent change (AAPC) of pancreatic cancer mortality rate, and the age-period-cohort model was used to analyze the age effect, period effect and birth cohort effect pairs significant changes in pancreatic cancer mortality. Results In 2021, the mortality rate of pancreatic cancer in Xuhui district, Shanghai, ranked fourth among malignant tumors, and the winning rate and world standard rate of the whole population, males and females were 8.34/100 000 (8.81/100 000, 7.98/100 000) and 7.28/100 000 (7.69/100 000, 6.96/100 000), respectively, with males higher than females. AAPC of crude mortality rate and the standardized (6) mortality rate were higher in males than that in females. The age-specific mortality rate increased with the increase of age, and the highest mortality rate was found in 60-84 years old group. The age-period-cohort model showed that from 1992 to 2021, the annual net shift of pancreatic cancer mortality among the whole population, male and female residents in Xuhui district, Shanghai, was 1.22%, 1.58%, 1.15% (P=0.20, 0.19, 0.45) respectively, and the time trend was not significant. From the perspective of age effect, the risk of death from pancreatic cancer in the whole population and with age deviation in males had an obvious trend with increasing age (P<0.05), while the age effect in females had no obvious trend. From the perspective of period effect, no period deviation was significant in the whole population, males and females (P>0.05). In terms of cohort effects, there were significant differences in the whole population and the male cohort deviations(P<0.05). No significant cohort effect was observed in the female population. Conclusions The mortality rate of pancreatic cancer among registered residents in Xuhui district, Shanghai from 1992 to 2021, was on the rise, especially in the 60-84 years old group and male. The prevention and control of pancreatic cancer needs to develop effective epidemic prevention measures for corresponding populations.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of normal saline as a hydrodissection band versus sodium hyaluronate and biopolysaccharide mixture as a modified hydrodissection band in microwave ablation (MWA) for benign thyroid nodules. Methods A total of 196 patients with 245 benign thyroid nodules(maximum diameter ≥20 mm) treated at Shanghai Ruijin Rehabilitation Hospital from August 2018 to February 2022 were enrolled. Patients were divided into control group (n=114): MWA using normal saline as the hydrodissection fluid; modified group (n=131): MWA using sodium hyaluronate and biopolysaccharide mixture as the hydrodissection fluid. A hydrodissection band (about 10 mm wide) was established before MWA. Intraoperative hydrodissection fluid absorption time was recorded. At the 12-month follow-up endpoint, complications were assessed, and changes in nodule volume (volume reduction rate, VRR) were evaluated. Results The complication rate was significantly lower in the modified group (1.9% vs.14.0%, P<0.05). 92.3% of complications in the control group were thermal injury-related, while no thermal injuries occurred in the modified group. Hydrodissection fluid absorption time was significantly prolonged in the modified group [(15.2±1.6) min vs. (11.0±2.3) min, P<0.05].No significant difference was observed in overall treatment efficacy (nodule VVR) between two groups (95.4% vs. 96.5%, P>0.05). Conclusions The sodium hyaluronate and biopolysaccharide mixture demonstrates prolonged retention time and superior thermal insulation as an hydrodissection fluid in MWA. It reduces adhesion risks and complications such as hoarseness, dysphagia, and thermal injury, thereby enhancing procedural safety and postoperative recovery. MWA is an effective treatment for benign thyroid nodules.

Objective To explore the predictive value of combined serum soluble hemoglobin scavenger receptor 163(sCD163),hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),and procalcitonin(PCT)for stroke-associated pneumonia(SAP).Methods A total of 100 patients with acute ische-mic stroke admitted to the First Hospital of Zhangjiakou from October 2021 to January 2023 were se-lected as the study subjects.According to whether they developed SPA within 7 days of admission,they were divided into SAP group(n=64)and non-SAP group(n=36).Based on pneumonia se-verity index(PSI),patients in the SAP group were further divided into mild SAP group and severe SAP group.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect the serum levels of sCD163,hs-CRP,and PCT.The clinical data of the patients were collected and compared.Pearson's method was used to analyze the correlation between the PSI score and the serum levels of sCD163,hs-CRP,and PCT in SAP patients.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to screen for factors influencing the occurrence of SAP.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analy-sis was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of serum sCD163,hs-CRP,and PCT for the occur-rence of SAP.Results The proportion of patients with dysphagia and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score in the SAP group were significantly higher than those in the non-SAP group(P＜0.05).The serum levels of sCD163,hs-CRP,and PCT in the SAP group were significantly higher than those in the non-SAP group(P＜0.05).The serum levels of sCD163,hs-CRP,and PCT in the severe SAP group were significantly higher than those in the mild SAP group(P＜0.05).Pearson's correlation analysis showed that the PSI score was positively correlated with the serum levels of sCD163,hs-CRP and PCT in SAP patients(r=0.356,0.413,0.391,P＜0.001).Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum sCD163,hs-CRP,PCT,NIHSS score,and dysphagia were all influencing factors for the occurrence of SAP(P＜0.05).The areas under the curve(AUC)for predicting SAP using serum sCD163,hs-CRP,PCT and their combina-tion were 0.842,0.924,0.866 and 0.973,respectively,with sensitivities of 73.44％,84.37％,67.19％and 90.62％,and specificities of 88.89％,83.33％,97.22％and 94.44％,respectively.The predictive value of the combined detection was superior to that of the individual detection of ser-um sCD163,hs-CRP and PCT(P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum levels of sCD163,hs-CRP,and PCT are elevated in SAP patients,and their changes are closely related to the severity of the disease.The combined detection of these three indicators has a high value in predicting the occur-rence of SAP and may serve as auxiliary markers for predicting early SAP.

Objective To investigate the conformational states of ADAMTS13 under different pH conditions.Methods Atomic force microscopy(AFM)was applied to pull ADAMTS13 molecules with two distinct pulling systems:the Biotin-Streptavidin system and the 6×His-Anti-His antibody system.The rupture forces and molecular contour lengths were analyzed.Results Under pH 7.4 condition,when ADAMTS13 was pulled by Biotin-Streptavidin system,the mean molecular contour length was(30.93±1.56)nm,exhibiting a bimodal frequency distribution with peak positions at(22.12±0.01)and(49.57±0.05)nm.When ADAMTS13 was pulled using 6×Hist-anti-His antibody system,the mean molecular contour length was(32.77±0.72)nm,also showing a bimodal distribution,with a peak position at(25.73±0.16)and(43.84±0.63)nm,respectively.Under pH 6.0 condition,when ADAMTS13 was pulled by Biotin-Streptavidin system,the mean molecular contour length increased to(47.07±1.6)nm,and the frequency distribution shifted to trimodal,with peak positions at(22±1.25),(55.09±2.62)and(76.69±3.06)nm.The conformation of ADAMTS13 was more extended at pH 6.0 compared with that at pH 7.4.Conclusions ADAMTS13 exists in'closed'and intermediate conformational states at physiological pH 7.4.However,at pH 6.0,ADAMTS13 can adopt'closed',intermediate,and'open'conformational states.This study contributes to a further understanding of the role of ADAMTS13 in normal physiology and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura,providing insights for the development of novel recombination ADAMTS13 drugs.

ObjectiveTo describe the epidemic characteristics of COVID-19 after policy adjustment from “Category B notifiable disease with category A management” to “Category B notifiable disease with category B management”， and to explore the protective effect of previous infection with SARS-CoV-2 on common symptoms of reinfection. MethodsHealthcare workers infected with SARS-CoV-2 in a grade A tertiary hospital in Shanghai were included in the study from December 4， 2022 to January 11， 2023. Data on demographic characteristics， clinical symptoms， medical history， and COVID-19 vaccination history were collected. We determined the epidemiological curve and characteristics， and then compared the difference in the severity of clinical symptoms between primary and reinfection subjects. ResultsA total of 2 704 cases were included in the study， of which 45 had reinfection， 605 （22.4%）were males， 608 （22.5%）were doctors， 1 275 （47.2%） were nurses， and 2 351 （86.9%） received ≥3 doses of COVID-19 vaccination. The average age of these healthcare workers was （34.9±9.1） years old. The number of cases with mild/moderate illness， asymptomatic infection， fever， headache， dry cough， expectoration， and chest tightness were 2 704 （100.0%）， 92 （3.4%）， 2 385 （88.2%）， 2 066 （76.4%）， 1 642 （60.7%）， 1 807 （66.8%）， and 439 （16.2%）， respectively. Reinfection was a protective factor for fever （OR=0.161， P<0.001）， headache （OR=0.320， P<0.001）， and peak body temperature （β=-0.446， P<0.001）. ConclusionFollowing the COVID-19 policy adjustment as a category B notifiable disease， healthcare workers at a grade A tertiary hospital in Shanghai predominantly experiences mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms. Reinfection results in milder clinical manifestations， with a lower proportion of being asymptomatic.

Objective To detect the serum levels of CC chemokine receptor 2(CCR2)and C-reactive pro-tein(CRP)in stroke patients,and analyze their relationship with the severity of stroke associated pneumonia and their clinical significance.Methods A total of 78 patients with stroke associated pneumonia who were di-agnosed and treated in the hospital from October 2022 to February 2023 were collected as the study group,ac-cording to the severity of pneumonia,the study group was divided into mild group(31 cases),moderate group(29 cases),and severe group(18 cases),78 stroke patients who did not develop pneumonia were included into control group.Pearson method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum CCR2 and CRP levels in stroke associated pneumonia patients.Multivariate Logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors influ-encing the occurrence of stroke associated pneumonia.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was ap-plied to analyze the diagnostic value of serum CCR2 and CRP for stroke associated pneumonia.Results The National Institute of Health stroke scale(NIHSS)score,serum CCR2,and CRP levels in the study group were obviously higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The levels of serum CCR2 and CRP increased with the aggravation of pneumonia(P<0.05).The levels of serum CCR2 and CRP in the study group were positively correlated(r=0.799,P<0.05).NIHSS score,CCR2,and CRP levels were risk factors for stroke associated pneumonia in stroke patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)for the diagnosis of stroke associated pneumonia using serum CCR2 and CRP alone was 0.873 and 0.888,respectively,and the AUC for the combined detection of the two was 0.936,the combined detection of the two was superior to the individual detection of serum CCR2 and CRP(Zcombination-CCR2=1.987,Zcombination-CRP=1.832,P=0.041,0.047).Conclusion Serum CCR2 and CRP are closely related to the severity of stroke associated pneumonia,and their combined detection has high diagnostic value for stroke associated pneumonia.

ObjectiveTo understand the death status of major chronic diseases among the registered residents in Xuhui District， Shanghai from 2007 to 2021， and to analyze the probability and trend of premature death， so as to provide an evidence for the policy-making of disease control and prevention. MethodsBased on the data from the death registration system of the registered residents in Xuhui District， Shanghai from 2007 to 2021， the mortality rate of major chronic diseases， life expectancy without cause of death， potential years of life lost （PYLL）， average years of life lost （AYLL）， and premature death rate were calculated. Joinpoint 4.8 software was used to calculate the annual percentage change （APC） of premature death rate and its trend. ResultsIn 2021， the mortality rate and standardized mortality rate of four major chronic diseases， namely cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， malignant tumors， diabetes mellitus and chronic lower respiratory diseases among the registered residents in Xuhui District， Shanghai was 767.75/100 000 and 234.69/100 000， respectively， accounting for 85.63% of the total causes of death among the residents in Xuhui District， Shanghai. The PYLL， AYLL and PYLL rate were 10 710.00 person-years， 1.49 years per person， and 11.43‰， respectively. Life expectancy increased by 14.91 years after removing the four major chronic diseases. From 2007 to 2021， the premature death rate of chronic diseases among the registered residents in Xuhui District decreased from 9.38% to 7.91% （APC=-1.09%，P<0.05）. Malignant tumors had the highest rate in premature death， and the premature death rate was higher in males than that in females， with a slower rate of decline than in females. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， malignant tumors and chronic lower respiratory diseases showed a significant decreasing trend in premature death rate （APC=-1.30%， -1.20%， -5.42%， P<0.05）， while diabetes mellitus showed a significant increasing trend in premature death rate （APC=3.20%， P<0.05）. There was a significant increasing trend in the rate of premature death from diabetes mellitus in males （APC=5.15%， P<0.05） and a decreasing trend in the rate of premature death from diabetes mellitus in females （APC=-0.76%， P<0.05）. ConclusionCardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases， malignant tumors， diabetes mellitus and chronic lower respiratory diseases are the main causes of death among the registered residents in Xuhui District. The probability of premature death of the residents in Xuhui District from major chronic diseases is at a low level， indicating that the prevention and control of chronic diseases in Xuhui District has achieved some success， but it is still difficult to realize the goals of the Outline of the "Healthy China 2030" Plan. Therefore， it is necessary to comprehensively carry out the control of risk factors such as tobacco use， harmful alcohol consumption， salt intake， hypertension， hyperglycemia and obesity， especially to strengthen the control of risk factors for male residents， as well as early diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors， cardiovascular and cerebral vascular diseases and diabetes mellitus， and to implement the disease management mechanism to reduce premature death.
