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 effect of Tongsheng Prescription on trimethylamine N-oxide(TMAO)and related metabolites substrate in patients with acute cerebral infarction after intervention and to evaluate its clinical efficacy.Methods A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted in 48 patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion(AIS-LVO)who had received endovascular treatment(EVT).The patients were divided into an observation group(25 cases)and a control group(23 cases).After emergency EVT,the control group was treated with routine western medicine,and the observation group was treated with nasogastric feeding or oral use of Tongsheng Prescription on the basis of treatment for the control group.The course of treatment lasted for seven days,and then the patients were followed up for three months.Before operation,7 days and 90 days after operation,National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)scores in the two groups were observed.The functional prognosis evaluated with Modified Rankin Scale(MRS)scores was compared between the two groups,and the effects of Tongsheng Prescription on serum TM AO and related metabolites choline,betaine and L-carnitine were investigated.Results(1)On the postoperative day 7 and 90,the NIHSS scores of the two groups were decreased compared with those before operation(P＜0.01),and the decrease of NIHSS scores on the postoperative day 7 and 90 in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.01).(2)On the postoperative day 90,the rate of good functional outcome in the observation group was 96.00％(24/25),which was significantly higher than 69.57％(16/23)in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(3)On the postoperative day 7 and 90,the levels of TMAO,L-carnitine and betaine in the observation group tended to decrease compared with those before operation,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).However,the levels of TMAO,L-carnitine and betaine in the control group were significantly increased compared with those before operation(P＜0.01).On the postoperative day 7,the levels of TMAO,L-carnitine and betaine in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)Spearman correlation analysis showed that TMAO was positively correlated with NIHSS score,L-carnitine and choline(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Tongsheng Prescription has a significant effect on AIS-LVO patients seven days after EVT.The Prescription is beneficial to obtain a good functional outcome,and its mechanism may be related to the decrease of TMAO level through L-carnitine and betaine pathways,so as to improve the neurological deficit symptoms of stroke patients.

Objective:To observe the effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist(GLP-1RA) combined with metformin on glucolipid metabolism and reproductive function in overweight/obesity polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) patients.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed changes in clinical parameters of body measurements, glucolipid metabolism, menstrual cycle, hormones, and polycystic ovary in 200 overweight/obese PCOS Patients who received 12 weeks of treatment(liraglutide+ metformin or exenatide+ metformin) in the Department of Endocrinology at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from July 2017 to July 2022.Results:In terms of metabolism improvement, body weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, γ-glutamyltransferase, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, insulin(including fasting, 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes), homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance, area under curve-insulin, triglyceride, and total cholesterol were significantly decreased after treatment( P<0.05 or P<0.01 or P<0.001). In terms of reproductive function, testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone/luteinizing hormone and free androgen index were decreased( P<0.001), while sex hormone-binding globulin was increased( P<0.01). There were no significant differences in progesterone, prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate compared with before treatment( P>0.05). The proportion of subjects with regular menstrual cycle increased from 23.53% to 57.52%( P<0.05). The proportion of subjects with polycystic ovarian changes decreased from 65.30% to 50.32%, and the proportion with dominant follicles increased from zero to 18.30%( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Some patients(25.49%) experienced adverse reactions such as nausea, diarrhea, abdominal distension, and vomiting after medication. Conclusion:The combination of GLP-1RA and metformin effectively improves glucose lipid metabolism disorder and reproductive dysfunction in overweight/obese PCOS patients.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of moxibustion on the stem cell factor (SCF)/tyrosine kinase receptor (c-kit) signaling pathway and immune function in rats with diarrhea irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), and to explore the mechanism of moxibustion for IBS-D. METHODS: Among 52 young rats born from 6 healthy pregnant SPF rats, 12 rats were randomly selected into the normal group, and the remaining 40 rats were treated with the three-factor combination method of maternal separation, acetic acid enema and chronic restraint stress to establish the IBS-D rat model. Thirty-six rats with successful IBS-D model were randomly divided into a model group, a moxibustion group, and a medication group, 12 rats in each group. The rats in the moxibustion group were treated with suspension moxibustion at "Tianshu" (ST 25) and "Shangjuxu" (ST 37); the rats in the medication group were treated with intragastric administration of rifaximin suspension (150 mg/kg). All the treatments were given once a day for 7 consecutive days. The body mass, loose stool rate (LSR), the minimum volume threshold when abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) scored 3 were measured before acetic acid enema (35 days old), after modeling (45 days old), and after intervention (53 days old). After intervention (53 days old), HE staining was used to observe the morphology of colon tissue, and spleen and thymus coefficients were measured; ELISA method was used to detect serum inflammatory factors (tumor necrosis factor a [TNF-a], interleukin [IL]-10, IL-8), T-lymphocyte subsets (CD⁺₄, CD⁺₈, CD⁺₄₅), value of CD⁺₄/CD⁺₈ and immune globulin (IgA, IgG, IgM); real-time PCR method and Western blot method was used to detect the expression of SCF, c-kit mRNA and protein in colon tissue; immunofluorescence staining method were used to detect positive expression of SCF and c-kit. RESULTS: After intervention, compared with the normal group, in the model group, the body mass and the minimum volume threshold when AWR scored 3 were decreased (P<0.01), LSR, spleen and thymus coefficients, serum levels of TNF-α, IL-8, CD⁺₄, CD⁺₄₅, CD⁺₄/CD⁺₈, IgA, IgG, IgM were increased (P<0.01), serum IL-10 level and protein and mRNA expression of SCF and c-kit in colon tissue were decreased (P<0.01), and the positive expression of SCF and c-kit was decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, in the moxibustion group and the medication group, the body mass and the minimum volume threshold when AWR scored 3 were increased (P<0.01, P<0.05), LSR, spleen and thymus coefficients, serum levels of TNF-α, IL-8, CD⁺₄, CD⁺₈, CD⁺₄₅, CD⁺₄/CD⁺₈, IgA, IgG, IgM were decreased (P<0.01, P<0.05), serum IL-10 level and protein and mRNA expression of SCF and c-kit in colon tissue were increased (P<0.01), and the positive expression of SCF and c-kit was increased (P<0.01). Compared with the medication group, in the moxibustion group, the level of serum CD⁺₄ was decreased (P<0.05), the value of CD⁺₄/CD⁺₈ was increased (P<0.01), and there was no significant difference in other indexes (P>0.05). The expression of SCF and c-kit mRNA was positively correlated with the minimum volume threshold when AWR scored 3 and IL-10 (P<0.01), and negatively correlated with remaining indexes (P<0.01, P<0.05). CONCLUSION Moxibustion could reduce visceral hypersensitivity, improve symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea in IBS-D rats, and its mechanism may be related to up-regulation of the expression of SCF/c-kit signaling pathway and improvement of IBS-D immune function.
