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.

Aim To study the effects of whole herb of Prunella and its active components on the malignant progression of breast cancer and its mechanism.Meth-ods Breast cancer transplantation tumor model was constructed and randomly divided into the model group,low,medium and high dose group of whole herb of Prunella(0.1,0.2,0.4 g·mL-1 by gavage)and paclitaxel(10 mg·kg-1 by intraperitoneal injection),which was administered by gavage every day,and the tumor tissues were collected after 28 days of interven-tion.The weight,tumor volume and mass of nude mice in each group were detected,HE staining was used to observe the morphology of breast cancer tumor tissues,and immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the proliferation of cell-cycle regulatory protein-67(Ki-67)and cytokeratin 17(CK17)in breast cancer tumor tissues.The cellular experiments were performed by u-sing different concentrations of the ethyl acetate extract of the whole herb of Prunella in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells for 24 h.The proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells and the effects on the cell cycle and apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by using the CCK-8 assay,the cell cycle flow and the apoptotic cell flow.Western blot was used to detect the effect of ethyl ace-tate extract of whole herb of Prunella on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells.UPLCQ-TOF MS/MS was used to detect the chemical compositions of the ethyl acetate extract of Prunella whole herb.Results The whole herb of Pru-nella had no significant effect on the growth of nude mice(P＞0.05);it could significantly inhibit the growth of transplanted tumors in nude mice with human breast cancer(P＜0.05);the results of HE staining showed that the cells in the tissues appeared to be rela-tively sparse with the increase of the dose of Prunella and had different degrees of nuclear consolidation and deep staining of nuclei and the apoptosis of the tumor cells increased;the metastasis of tumor cells to the liv-er and lungs was inhibited,when compared with that in the model group.Compared with the model group,the low,medium and high groups of Prunella had no signif-icant effect on the liver index,while the spleen index was significantly reduced(P＜0.05);the expression of Ki-67 and CK17 was reduced.The ethyl acetate ex-tract of the whole herb of Prunella could inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells in breast cancer(P＜0.01);the results of flow cytometry showed that,with the increase of the concentration of the ethyl ace-tate extract of the whole herb of Prunella,the proportion of S-phase cells in the MDA-MB-231 cells significantly increased,and the proportion of G0/G1-phase cells sig-nificantly decreased,while the proportion of G2-phase cells did not change significantly(P＜0.01);Western blotting was not affected in the low,medium and high groups,and the spleen index significantly decreased(P＜0.05);the expression of Ki-67 and CK17 was re-duced;the results of Western blot showed that the eth-yl acetate extract of the whole herb of Prunella promo-ted the expression of Bax,cleaved caspase-3,cleaved caspase-9 proteins,and inhibited the expression of Bcl-2,caspase-3,caspase-9,cyclinA2,and CDK2 proteins(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The acetic acid of the whole herb of Prunella ethyl ester extract identified a total of 51 compounds.Conclusions The whole herb of Pru-nella can inhibit the growth of breast cancer in nude mice transplanted with tumors,promote the apoptosis of tumor cells,inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells,inhibit the metastasis of tumor cells to the liver and lungs,protect the liver and spleen,and reduce the expression of the value-added markers Ki-67 and CK17 in tumor tissues,and the ef-fective ingredient of the whole herb,the ethyl acetate extract,can induce apoptosis.The mechanism may be related to the down-regulation of cyclinsA2,CDK2,Bcl-2,caspase-3,caspase-9 and up-regulation of Bax,cleaved caspase-3,cleaved caspase-9 protein expres-sion.

Neonatal sepsis is a global health problem that seriously affects the body health and life safety of newborns. It has a higher incidence in preterm infants,especially for early-onset sepsis (EOS) within 72 hours of birth. The diagnosis of neonatal EOS requires a series of examinations,and early and accurate diagnosis can improve clinical outcomes and reduce antibiotic overuse in a timely manner. At present,the commonly used biomarkers and traditional blood culture methods for EOS diagnosis have certain shortcomings,so it is urgent to find new molecular diagnostic methods. This article summarizes and compares the early and novel diagnostic methods of neonatal EOS,in order to provide a reference for clinical practice.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Rapid and ultrasensitive detection of pathogen-associated biomarkers is vital for the early diagnosis and therapy of bacterial infections.Herein,we developed a close-packed and ordered Au@AgPt array coupled with a cascade triggering strategy for surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)and colorimetric identification of the Staphylococcus aureus biomarker micrococcal nuclease(MNase)in serum samples.The trimetallic Au@AgPt nanozymes can catalyze the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)molecules to SERS-enhanced oxidized TMB(oxTMB),accompanied by the color change from colorless to blue.In the presence of S.aureus,the secreted MNase preferentially cut the nucleobase AT-rich regions of DNA sequences on magnetic beads(MBs)to release alkaline phosphatase(ALP),which subsequently mediated the oxTMB reduction for inducing the colorimetric/SERS signal fade away.Using this"on-to-off"triggering strategy,the target S.aureus can be recorded in a wide linear range with a limit of detection of 38 CFU/mL in the colorimetric mode and 6 CFU/mL in the SERS mode.Meanwhile,the MNase-mediated strategy characterized by high specificity and sensitivity successfully discriminated between patients with sepsis(n=7)and healthy participants(n=3),as well as monitored the prog-nostic progression of the disease(n=2).Overall,benefiting from highly active and dense"hot spot"substrate,MNase-mediated cascade response strategy,and colorimetric/SERS dual-signal output,this methodology will offer a promising avenue for the early diagnosis of S.aureus infection.

Using this "on-to-off" triggering strategy, the target S. aureus can be recorded in a wide linear range with a limit of detection of 38 CFU/mL in the colorimetric mode and 6 CFU/mL in the SERS mode. Meanwhile, the MNase-mediated strategy characterized by high specificity and sensitivity successfully discriminated between patients with sepsis (n = 7) and healthy participants (n = 3), as well as monitored the prognostic progression of the disease (n = 2). Overall, benefiting from highly active and dense "hot spot" substrate, MNase-mediated cascade response strategy, and colorimetric/SERS dual-signal output, this methodology will offer a promising avenue for the early diagnosis of S. aureus infection.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.
