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 investigate the anemia conditions and characteristics of iron metabolism during different stages of pregnancy in women with different genotypes of thalassemia.Methods:This cohort study selected 3 303 singleton pregnant women who underwent regular prenatal examinations and genetic tests of thalassemia and were delivered at Maternal & Child Health Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2019 to December 2023. According to the results of thalassemia gene testing, the women were divided into groups: those without thalassemia genes served as the control group (1 539 cases), and those with thalassemia genes (1 764 cases) were further divided based on genotype into the -α/αα group (326 cases), --/αα or -α/-α group (649 cases), point mutation α-thalassemia group (201 cases), β 0-thalassemia group (368 cases), β +-thalassemia group (91 cases), and α combined with β-thalassemia group (129 cases). Hemoglobin (Hb) and serum ferritin (SF) levels were measured in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy. Differences in anemia and iron reserves among the groups at different pregnancy stages were compared using repeated measures analysis of variance, LSD test, Kruskal-Wallis rank-sum test, and Bonferroni correction. Results:Compared to the first trimester, Hb levels decreased in the second and third trimester across all groups (LSD test, all P<0.05), and the severity of anemia increased (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.017). The severity of anemia varied among the groups at the same pregnancy stage ( Hfirst trimester=918.20, Hsecond trimester=1 224.50, Hthird trimester=980.19; all P<0.001), and Hb levels also differed ( Ffirst trimester=282.54, Fsecond trimester=352.31, Fthird trimester=239.02; all P<0.001). The β 0-thalassemia group had higher rates of moderate anemia in the first, second, and third trimester of pregnancy [38.6% (142/368), 85.3% (314/368), and 73.6% (271/368)] compared to other groups (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.002), and lower Hb levels [(102.1±8.9), (92.0±7.3), and (94.6±7.7) g/L] than other groups (LSD test, all P<0.05). As pregnancy progresses, SF levels in each group of pregnant women gradually decreased (LSD test, all P<0.05), and the degree of iron deficiency worsened (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.05). The iron deficiency rate in thalassemia pregnant women during the third trimester ranges from 21.5% (79/368) to 46.0% (150/326). The degree of iron deficiency varies among groups within the same gestational period ( Hfirst trimester=79.13, Hsecond trimester=203.98, Hthird trimester=130.55; all P<0.001), and SF levels also differ ( Ffirst trimester=17.28, Fsecond trimester=44.60, Fthird trimester=31.87; all P<0.001). Among them, the β 0-thalassemia group had the lowest iron deficiency rates in the second, and third trimesters [9.8% (36/368), and 21.5% (79/368)] (Bonferroni correction, all P<0.002). SF levels in the β 0-thalassemia and β +-thalassemia groups were higher than those in other groups during each gestational period (LSD test, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Pregnant women with thalassemia may experience varying degrees of iron deficiency during pregnancy, with the severity of iron deficiency and anemia increasing with gestational age. The degree of iron deficiency and anemia during pregnancy varies among pregnant women with different genotypes of thalassemia. Clinically, individualized management should be provided for pregnant women with thalassemia based on their genotypes, with dynamic monitoring of anemia and iron metabolism changes.

Objective:To explore the application value of CT-guided percutaneous coaxial needle biopsy (CT-PTCB) in the diagnosis of malignant tumors.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. The clinical data of 802 suspected malignant tumor patients who underwent CT-PTCB upon admission to Beijing Chaoyang District Huanxing Cancer Hospital from January 2019 to December 2023 were analyzed. All patients underwent imaging follow-up combined with CT-PTCB or surgical pathology to determine the final diagnosis. The CT-PTCB puncture effect, diagnosis effect and incidence of complications were recorded.Results:Among the 802 patients, 488 (60.8%) were male and 314 (39.2%) were female, with the age of (51±11) years. The puncture sites included 610 cases (76.1%) in the chest, 169 cases (21.1%) in the abdomen, 17 cases (2.1%) in the bones, and 6 cases (0.7%) in the pelvic cavity. The success rate of CT-PTCB puncture upon admission was 99.5% (798/802), the diagnostic accuracy was 96.5% (774/802), and the false negative rate was 3.5% (28/802). The incidence of pneumothorax and bleeding in patients undergoing pulmonary CT-PTCB was 13.0% (75/575) and 17.9% (103/575), respectively; the incidence of puncture bleeding in patients undergoing liver CT-PTCB was 0.8% (1/125), and the incidence of pain was 1.6% (2/125); the incidence of pneumothorax in patients undergoing mediastinal CT-PTCB was 8.7% (2/23); no obvious complications were observed in other puncture sites. All complications were cured through active treatment.Conclusions:The application of CT-PTCB for the diagnosis of malignant tumors has high success rate and diagnosis rate, and is safe and minimally invasive.

Objective:To explore the capability of deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) compared to adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR-V) in improving the image quality and myocardial edge sharpness of dynamic stress myocardial CT perfusion imaging (CTP).Methods:Thirty subjects who underwent dynamic stress myocardial CTP at Guangdong Provincial People′s Hospital from September 2023 to February 2024 were recruited. Image data of all enrolled patients were reconstructed using ASiR-V 50%, ASiR-V 80%, medium-intensity DLIR(DLIR-M), and high-intensity DLIR(DLIR-H), respectively. Regions of interest were selected in the left ventricular cavity, interventricular septum, and left ventricular lateral wall for measurement of CT values and standard deviations (SD), and calculation of signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR). Matlab was utilized to obtain the differences (d) and slopes (s) of CT value changes at four left ventricular myocardial edges for objective edge sharpness evaluation. Two radiologists subjectively scored the images for noise, natural appearance, and edge sharpness. In case of disagreement between the two radiologists, a third senior radiologist′s score was decisive. Left ventricular myocardial blood flow (MBF) of ASiR-V and DLIR images with lower SD, higher SNR and CNR were calculated, respectively. When the normal distribution was satisfied, the independent sample t test was used for comparison between two groups, and the random block design ANOVA was used for comparison between multiple groups. And analysis was conducted using Friedman test for non-normally distributed data, and Bonferroni correction for pairwise comparisons. Results:There were statistically significant differences in SD, SNR, and CNR among the four images in the interventricular septum and left ventricular lateral wall (all P<0.05), with ASiR-V 80% and DLIR-H demonstrating the lowest SD, highest SNR and CNR, and the subjective image noise score. Statistically significant differences were observed in d and s for the four left ventricular myocardial edges (all P<0.05), with DLIR-M and DLIR-H exhibiting the best objective edge sharpness [5 (5, 5)], and ASiR-V 80% the worst [3.5 (3, 4)]. In the subjective scores for natural appearance, DLIR-M and DLIR-H received the highest scores [5 (5, 5)], while ASiR-V 80% received the lowest scores [3 (3, 4)], with statistically significant differences (all P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in MBF values calculated from ASiR-V 80% and DLIR-H images (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The SD value, SNR and CNR of dynamic stress myocardial CTP images reconstructed by DLIR-H are equivalent to ASiR-V 80%, and using DLIR-H can improve the edge sharpness of left ventricular myocardium without affecting the calculation of MBF.

Objective To investigate the correlation between early clinical outcomes following endoscopic surgery for unilateral lumbar disc herniation and variations in the cross-sectional area of the sciatic nerve.Methods Fifty-two patients(n=52)with unilateral lumbar disc herniation were recruited from June 2023 to June 2024 at the Pain Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University.The cross-sectional area(CSA)values of bilateral sciatic nerves were measured at the gluteal sciatic tuberosity-great femoral rotor level using ultrasound before and on the 4th day after surgery.The change in nerve cross-sectional area ΔCSA and sciatic nerve swelling rate(SR-SN)were calculated.Patient BMI(Body Mass Index),visual analog scale(VAS),Japanese Orthopaedic Association score(JOA),Oswestry Disability Index(ODI),and Treatment Improvement Rate(TIR)were collected preoperatively and on postoperative day 4.Changes in sciatic nerve cross-sectional area in unilateral lumbar disc herniation and its relationship to clinical outcomes were analyzed using the scoring scales as controls.Results Compared to the preoperative period,there was a significant decrease in VAS and ODI scores,as well as an increase in JOA score on the 4th postoperative day(P<0.01).Furthermore,surgical intervention led to substantial improve-ment in clinical outcomes for the patients.Prior to surgery,the CSA value of the affected side of the sciatic nerve was greater than that of the healthy side(P<0.01).Although CSA value decreased on the affected side after surgery,it remained higher than that of the healthy side(P<0.01).Additionally,there was a significant difference between SR-SN values on both sides with higher values observed on the affected side(P<0.01).Notably,△CSA on the affected side exhibited a negative correlation with postoperative VAS score,JOA score,and treatment improvement rate(P<0.05);The SR-SN on the affected side exhibited a positive correlation with BMI and negative correlations with postoperative VAS score,JOA score,and treatment improvement rate(P<0.05).However,no significant correlations were observed between △CSA,SR-SN,and ODI score on the affected side.(P>0.05).Conclusions In patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for lumbar disc herniation,a greater change in the cross-sectional area of the affected sciatic nerve before and after the operation is associated with more pronounced improvement in early symptoms.However,further investigation is required to explore the relationship between this change and recovery of both lumbar spine and lower limb function.

Objective:To assess the level of moral distress among pediatric nurses in China and explore its influencing factors, providing a reference for future interventions.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a convenience sampling method from May 2022 to March 2023. Pediatric nurses meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected from children′s specialized hospitals, general hospitals, and maternal and child health hospitals across 16 provinces in China. Moral distress was assessed using the Chinese version of the Moral Distress Scale-Revised (MDS-R). Data analysis included descriptive statistics, non-parametric analysis, and multiple linear regression.Results:A total of 509 pediatric nurses participated in the survey, including 10 males and 499 females. Among them, 45 were aged ≤25 years, 268 were aged 26-35 years, 172 were aged 36-45 years, and 24 were aged >45 years.The median moral distress score was 58.00 (26.00, 77.50). Factors independently associated with higher levels of moral distress included having a master′s degree ( t = 2.33), working in a ward with more than 40 beds ( t = 3.38), working in a ward without parental accompaniment ( t = 2.60), being passively assigned to the nursing profession ( t = 2.63), and considering resignation but not leaving the job ( t = 3.85) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Pediatric nurses in China experience a moderate level of moral distress. Further research is needed to understand its underlying causes and to develop preventive and intervention strategies.
