Objective To quantify the association between obesity and erectile dysfunction (ED) risk through a meta-analysis. Methods Following PRISMA guidelines, systematic searches of Chinese and English databases (up to March 2025) were conducted to include observational studies (cohort, cross-sectional, case-control). Adjusted effect sizes (OR and 95% CI) were extracted. Study quality was assessed using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality(AHRQ) scale, and a random-effects model was applied to pool effect sizes. Subgroup analyses (geographic region, obesity definitions) and sensitivity analyses were performed to validate robustness. Results Ten studies (n=230 744), including nine cross-sectional studies, were included. The meta-analysis revealed that obesity significantly increased ED risk (random-effects OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.29-2.51), with high heterogeneity (I2=99.9%). Subgroup analyses indicated stronger associations in USA populations (OR=2.10, 95% CI: 1.23-3.60) than in Chinese populations (OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.05-1.28). The highest effect size was observed when using BMI≥25 kg/m3 as the obesity threshold (OR=3.05, 95% CI: 2.06-4.51). Sensitivity analyses confirmed robust results (OR: 1.60-1.94 after excluding any single study). Conclusions Obesity is a critical risk factor for ED, with effect strength influenced by geographic region and obesity definitions. Interventions targeting BMI≥30 kg/m2 in Western populations and metabolic risks at BMI≥25 kg/m3 in Asian populations are recommended.

Objective To discuss the application of partial antiplatelet drug genotype detection and thromboelastography-platelet mapping(TEG-PM)in guiding the selection of antiplatelet regimens in patients with intracranial aneurysms(IAs)after receiving stenting.Methods A total of 106 patients with IAs in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University,who underwent implantation of stent and received the testings of platelet-endothelial aggregation receptor 1(PEAR 1)and clopidogrel-related gene-cytochrome P450 enzyme 2C19(CYP2C19),and some of whom received TEG-PM testing from January 2019 to August 2022,were collected for this study.The patients were divided into group A(gene detection group,according to the drug-related gene detection results to adjust the medication)and group B(combination group,according to the two testing results to guide the medication).The patient's gender,age,testing data were collected,and the occlusion of IAs,stent intimal hyperplasia,drug-related hemorrhagic and ischemic complications during follow-up period were recorded.Results A total of 123 IAs lesions in 106 patients were treated.The patient's mean age was(53.67±6.66)years,67 patients were female.Group A had 41 patients and group B had 65 patients.No statistically significant differences in the baseline data,IAs features,stent types used,and medication regimen existed between the two groups(all P＞0.05).In Group A,the ischemic complications and hemorrhagic complications occurred in two patients each.In Group B,no ischemic complications occurred and 4 patients developed hemorrhagic complications.The difference in the incidence of related complications between the two groups was not statistically significant(P=0.287 and P=0.782 respectively).There were no statistically significant differences in the postoperative one-month and 3-month intimal hyperplasia grade and the aneurysm occlusion rate between the two groups(all P＞0.05).The postoperative 6-month overall intimal hyperplasia grade in Group A was slightly higher than that in Group B,and the difference was statistically significant(P=0.034).Conclusion In order to improve the precision and individualized treatment of antiplatelet therapy,it is suggested that clinicians should adopt TEG-PM-guided conventional double-antibody therapy first when making selection of testing items.For patients with insufficient inhibition rate indicated by TEG-PM,testing of the genes associated with antiplatelet drugs should be used.Based on the genetic test results it is necessary to determine the reasons for the insufficient inhibition rate as well as to adjust the medication promptly according to the specific situation of the patient,so as to ensure the effectiveness of antiplatelet therapy and achieve the purpose of individualized precision therapy.

Objective:To analyze and summarize the medical security situation of the snowmobile,sled,and steel frame snowmobile tracks at the National Sliding Centre,and to provide experience for future event hosting and medical security work for mass ice and snow sports.Methods:Retrospective analysis of injuries and treatment of athletes participating in the International Training Week and World Cup for Ski,Sled,and Steel Frame Ski from October to November 2021(hereinafter referred to as"Inter-national Training Week"),as well as the Ski,Sled,and Steel Frame Ski events at the Beijing Winter Olympics in February 2022(hereinafter referred to as the"Beijing Winter Olympics").We referred to and drew on the"Medical Security Standards for Winter Snow Sports"to develop specific classification standards for analyzing injured areas,types of injuries,and accident locations.Results:A total of 743 athletes participated in the International Training Week and the Beijing Winter Olympics.During the com-petition,there were 58 incidents of overturning,prying,and collision,of which 28(28 athletes)were in-jured,accounting for 48.3％of the total accidents and 3.8％of the total number of athletes.Among them,there were 9 males(32.1％)and 19 females(67.9％),with an average age of(26.3±4.7)years.Among the 28 injured athletes,20 cases(71.4％)received on-site treatment for Class Ⅰ injuries,while 8 cases(28.6％)had more severe injuries,including Class Ⅱ injuries(7 cases)and Class Ⅲ injuries(1 case),which were referred to designated hospitals for further treatment.Among the 28 injured athletes,3 cases(10.7％)experienced multiple injuries,including 2 cases of 2 injuries and 1 case of 3 injuries.The most common injuries were in the ankle and toes(10/32,31.3％).Out of 28 injured athletes,one(3.6％)experienced two types of injuries simultaneously,with joint and/or ligament injuries being the most common(11/29,37.9％).The most accident prone point on the track was the ninth curve(18/58,31.0％).Conclusion:Through the analysis and summary of medical security work,it can provide better experience and reference for the future development of snowmobile,sled,and steel frame snowmobile sports in China,making the National Snowy and Ski Center truly a sustainable Olympic heritage.

Objective To investigate the enhanced CT and MRI imaging features of nasal sinus squamous cell carcinoma(SCC)and lymphoma(NHL),and to analyze the efficacy of different imaging features in differentiating nasal sinus SCC from NHL.Methods The imaging,clinical and pathological data of 67 patients with sinus SCC and NHL who underwent sinus CT and MRI with contrast CT and MRI in our hospital and confirmed by surgical pathology were retrospectively analyzed,and the tumor origin,maximum diameter,CT density,MRI signal intensity,enhancement degree,tumor internal necrosis,adjacent bone destruction,invasion of surrounding tissues,and The imaging features such as cervical lymph node metastasis within the scanning range were analyzed,and the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve and area under the curve(AUC)were used to analyze the efficacy of different imaging features to distinguish nasal sinus SCC and NHL.Results There were statistically significant differences between the five imaging features of nasal sinus SCC and NHL,including tumor origin,maximum diameter,internal tumor necrosis,surrounding bone destruction and peripheral tissue invasion(P＜0.05),and the AUC of differentiating SCC and NHL were 0.708,0.694,0.785,0.850 and 0.629,respectively.The AUC of SCC and NHL was 0.969,and the sensitivity and specificity were 83.9%and 97.2%,respectively.Conclusion On contrast-enhanced CT and MRI,the imaging signs of tumor origin,maximum diameter,tumor internal necrosis,bone destruction and surrounding tissue invasion are helpful to distinguish nasal sinus SCC from NHL,especially if the tumor originates in the nasal cavity,necrosis is rare,bone destruction is mild,and the possibility of nasal sinus NHL should be given priority.Contrast-enhanced CT and MRI can help differentiate nasal sinus SCC from NHL,and the combination can help improve differential diagnostic performance.

ObjectiveTo explore the suitability of four qualitative research methods in the development of TCM scale. MethodsTaking the development of "Seven Emotions Scale" as an example， we conducted semi-structured interviews with 31 patients of emotional disorders and 10 healthy people by objective sampling， and collected psychological feelings and emotional cognition data related to seven emotions according to the interview outline. Two qualitative methods， descriptive qualitative research and descriptive phenomenology， were used to analyze the data and construct the item library of the scale. The conceptual framework of the scale was constructed by using commonly used grounded theory and frame analysis. ResultsDuring data analysis， it is found that the themes extracted from descriptive phenomenology were not easily understood by the interviewees， and it is difficult for the researchers to truly achieve the "suspension" required by phenomenology. Considering the feasibility and convenience of the researchers' actual operation， as well as whether the initial purpose of the scale research can be intuitively included in the interviewees' views and feelings， descriptive phenomenology is not suitable for the formation of scale items. Using descriptive qualitative research method to analyze the interview data of healthy people and patients with emotional disorders， 306 and 476 scale items were obtained respectively. Through grounded theory， five selective codes were obtained： physical symptoms， external manifestations， psychological feelings， behaviors and emotional control. Using frame analysis， four themes including physical symptoms， psychological feelings， behavior and emotional cognition were constructed. Both methods can be used to construct the conceptual frame of scale， but the framework analysis is more convenient and can better ensure the transparency of the research. ConclusionDescriptive qualitative research methods can be used to form the item library of TCM scales. Framework analysis is more suitable for the construction of the conceptual framework of the scale than grounded theory， while descriptive phenomenology is not suitable for the development of TCM scales.

This article summarizes and organizes relevant publications in journals, along with a review of medical history, systematically summarizing the development process of dental alveolar surgery in China. The initial establishment phase (1935—1952) marked the starting point of Chinese Alveolar Surgery. Despite the impact of wars, it laid the foundation for subsequent research and practice. During the early development phase (1953—1966), the "Chinese Journal of Stomatology" was founded, which promoted the development of Alveolar Surgery. Research focused on tooth extraction methods and complications. Tooth Transplantation and Preprosthetic Surgery gradually began to take off. The stagnant phase (1967—1977) occurred due to the interruption of international exchanges, leading to an almost complete halt in the development of Alveolar Surgery. Entering the rapid catch-up phase (1978—1985), Alveolar Surgery scholars in China began striving to overcome the stagnation of the previous decade. While some progress was made, no significant innovative achievements emerged. In the scientific development phase (1986—2010), clinical research, basic experiments, and paper writing in modern Chinese Alveolar Surgery began to adhere to scientific standards with the rise of experimental medicine. The exploration and innovation stage (2011—2023) is the current development phase, during which Chinese Aveolar Surgery has reached its peak, making substantial progress in technology, clinical practices, and basic research, gradually reaching or even surpassing international advanced levels. Looking back at the development history in China, we can find the wisdom and hard work of the older generation of Alveolar Surgery scholars. However, contemporary challenges and issues, such as standardizing technology, promoting clinical practices, and talent cultivation, need to be addressed by present-day Alveolar Surgery professionals as they forge ahead.

Using the crossing breakpoint PCR (Gap-PCR) and reverse dot blot (RDB) techniques to detect Chinese common type of 7 kinds of α-thalassemia and 17 kinds of β-thalassemia genotypes, high-throughput sequencing(Sanger) was performed for suspected rare β-thalassemia. Gap-PCR was used for suspected deletion β-thalassemia types.Results:β-thalassemia was diagnosed in 4 495 (17.16%) of 26 189 samples. A total of 6 177 alleles of 20 types of β-thalassemia were detected, mainly CD17 (2 712 cases, 43.90%) and CD41-42 (2 240 cases, 36.26%), including 7 rare alleles: Gγ +( Aγδβ) 0, SEA-HPFH, Hb New York, Hb G-Taipei, Hb Hezhou, Hb G-Coushatta and IVS-Ⅱ-81. There were 3 903 case (86.83%) heterozygous, 273 case (6.07%) double heterozygous, and 319 case (7.10%) homozygous among 4 495 β-thalassaemia subjects. A total of 48 genotypes were detected. The two most common genotypes were CD17/β N (1 890 cases, 42.05%) and CD41-42/β N (1 212 cases, 26.96%), accounted for 69.01% (3 102/4 495). Seven rare genotypes were detected: Gγ +( Aγδβ) 0/β N in 3 cases, Hb New York/β N in 3 cases, Hb G-Taipei/β N in 2 cases, SEA-HPFH/β N, Hb Hezhou/β N, Hb G-Coushatta/β N and IVS-Ⅱ-81/β N in 1 case each. A total of 1 041 cases (3.97%, 1 041/26 189) of 116 types of αβ-thalassemia were detected, mainly -- SEA/αα composite CD17/β N (144 cases, 13.83%), followed by -α 3.7/αα composite CD17/β N (112 cases, 10.76%). Conclusions:Western region of Guangxi is a high prevalence area of β-thalassemia, CD17/β N and CD41-42/β N are the main genotypes. The variation spectrum of β-thalassemia is complex and diverse, with rich genotype.

Objective To investigate the value of enhanced CT radiomics combined with CT features model(combined model)for differentiating squamous cell carcinoma(SNSCC)and sinonasal lymphoma(SL).Methods Totally 68 patients with SNSCC and 63 patients with SL were retrospectively collected and divided into training set(n=92,including 48 SNSCC and 44 SL)and verification set(n=39,including 20 SNSCC and 19 SL)at the ratio of 7:3.Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze clinical data and CT manifestations in training set,and the independent predictive factors for differentiating SNSCC and SL were screened and used to construct a CT features model.Based on enhanced venous phase CT of training set,the best radiomics features of lesions were extracted and screened.The radiomics model was then established,and the radiomics label was calculated.The combined model was finally constructed based on CT model and radiomics labels,and its nomogram was drawn.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve were drawn,and the areas under the curve(AUC)were calculated to evaluate the efficacy of each model for differentiating SNSCC and SL.Calibration and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the calibration efficacy and clinical benefit of the obtained combined model.Results The primary location of the lesion and bone invasion showed on CT were both independent predictive factors for SNSCC and SL(both P＜0.05),and CT model was constructed.Based on enhanced venous phase CT,3 best radiomics features were selected to establish the radiomics model.The AUC of CT,radiomics and combined model in training set was 0.895,0.730 and 0.925,respectively,and significant differences of AUC were found among 3 models(Z=-3.964 to-1.833,all P＜0.05).The AUC of CT,radiomics and combined model in verification set was 0.845,0.684 and 0.868,respectively,of combined model was greater than of radiomics model(Z=-2.568,P=0.010).The combined model had good calibration.Taken 15％-62％ and 85％-92％ as the thresholds in training set and 88％ to 95％ in validation set,the clinical net benefit of combined model was high.Conclusion The obtained enhanced CT radiomics combined with CT features model could be used to effectively differentiate SNSCC and SL.

Objective To investigate the effect of altered oxidative stress system on liver function after partial splenic embolization(PSE).Methods Twenty-nine patients with liver cirrhosis and hypersplenism who received PSE were selected.Peripheral venous blood was drawn from the patients before and at 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after PSE,and the indexes of oxidative stress system factors including malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),advanced oxidiation protein products(AOPPs),and gluta-thione peroxidase(GSH-Px)were detected,as well as liver function indexes.Results There were positive correlation between SOD activity and total bilirubin(TBil)and model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)scores at 1 week postoperatively(TBil:r=0.725,P＜0.05;MELD:r=0.764,P＜0.05).There was positive correlation between GSH-Px activity and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)at 1 month postoperatively(r=0.777,P＜0.05),however,the AOPPs was negatively correlated with ALT and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)at 3 months postoperatively(ALT:r--0.900,P＜0.05;AST:r=-0.957,P＜0.05).Conclusion PSE can improve the body oxidative stress system and enhance the body's antioxidant response,and then improve the liver function.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with coronary slow flow(CSF)or no reflow(CNR)after emergency PCI.Methods A total of 443 elderly STEMI patients who underwent emergency PCI in Department of Cardiology of the First Affilia-ted Hospital of Tsinghua University from January 2017 to August 2023 were recruited,and ac-cording to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction(TIMI)flow grading after operation,they were divided into CSF/CNR group(TIMI grade≤2 flow,n=40)and normal flow(NCF)group(TIMI grade 3 flow,n=403).Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors for CSF/CNR in STEMI patients after PCI.The prognosis was analyzed in the two groups.Results The CSF/CNR group had advanced age,longer durations from onset to admission and from onset to balloon opening,higher mortality rate,and larger proportions of chronic heart failure(CHF),type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),pulse rate＞100 times/min,SBP＜100 mm Hg(1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),Killip grade＞1,left anterior descending artery disease,LVEF＜50％,and using glycopro-tein Ⅱb/Ⅲa inhibitors and intraaortic balloon counterpulsation,but lower male ratio and DBP when compared with the control group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that T2DM(OR=1.320,95％CI:0.618-2.123,P=0.046),mean SBP(OR=1.239,95％CI:0.752-1.525,P=0.04)and SBP＜100 mm Hg(OR=1.330,95％CI:0.836-1.675,P=0.013)were independent risk factors,while male was a protective factor(OR=-1.755,95％CI:-2.338--1.171,P=0.002)for CSF/CNR in STEMI patients after PCI.Conclusion T2DM and lower SBP are independent risk factors,while male is a protective factor for CSF/CNR in STEMI patients after emergency PCI.
