Adipose tissue is a critical energy reservoir in animals and humans, with multifaceted roles in endocrine regulation, immune response, and providing mechanical protection. Based on anatomical location and functional characteristics, adipose tissue can be categorized into distinct types, including white adipose tissue (WAT), brown adipose tissue (BAT), beige adipose tissue, and pink adipose tissue. Traditionally, adipose tissue research has centered on its morphological and functional properties as a whole. However, with the advent of single-cell transcriptomics, a new level of complexity in adipose tissue has been unveiled, showing that even under identical conditions, cells of the same type may exhibit significant variation in morphology, structure, function, and gene expression——phenomena collectively referred to as cellular heterogeneity. Single-cell transcriptomics, including techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq), enables in-depth analysis of the diversity and heterogeneity of adipocytes at the single-cell level. This high-resolution approach has not only deepened our understanding of adipocyte functionality but also facilitated the discovery of previously unidentified cell types and gene expression patterns that may play key roles in adipose tissue function. This review delves into the latest advances in the application of single-cell transcriptomics in elucidating the heterogeneity and diversity within adipose tissue, highlighting how these findings have redefined the understanding of cell subpopulations within different adipose depots. Moreover, the review explores how single-cell transcriptomic technologies have enabled the study of cellular communication pathways and differentiation trajectories among adipose cell subgroups. By mapping these interactions and differentiation processes, researchers gain insights into how distinct cellular subpopulations coordinate within adipose tissues, which is crucial for maintaining tissue homeostasis and function. Understanding these mechanisms is essential, as dysregulation in adipose cell interactions and differentiation underlies a range of metabolic disorders, including obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2. Furthermore, single-cell transcriptomics holds promising implications for identifying therapeutic targets; by pinpointing specific cell types and gene pathways involved in adipose tissue dysfunction, these technologies pave the way for developing targeted interventions aimed at modulating specific adipose subpopulations. In summary, this review provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of single-cell transcriptomic technologies in uncovering the heterogeneity and functional diversity of adipose tissues.

ObjectiveTo develop a nomogram-based risk prediction model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) incidence among the community-dwelling population aged 40 years old and above, so as to provide targeted references for the screening and prevention of COPD. MethodsBased on a natural population cohort in suburban Shanghai, a total of 3 381 randomly selected participants aged ≥40 years underwent pulmonary function tests between July and October 2021. Cox stepwise regression analysis was used to develop overall and gender-specific risk prediction models, along with the construction of corresponding risk nomograms. Model predictive performance was evaluated using the C-indice, area under the curve (AUC) values, and Brier score. Stability was assessed through 10-fold cross-validation and sensitivity analysis. ResultsA total of 3 019 participants were included, with a median follow-up duration of 4.6 years. The COPD incidence density was 17.22 per 1 000 person-years, significantly higher in males (32.04/1 000 person-years) than that in females (7.38/1 000 person-years) (P<0.001). The overall risk prediction model included the variables such as gender, age, education level, BMI, smoking, passive smoking, and respiratory comorbidities. The male-specific model incorporated the variables such as age, BMI, respiratory comorbidities, and smoking, while the female-specific model included age, marital status, respiratory comorbidities, and pulmonary tuberculosis history. The C-indices for the overall, male-specific, and female-specific models were 0.829, 0.749, and 0.807, respectively. The 5-year AUC values were 0.785, 0.658, and 0.811, with Brier scores of 0.103, 0.176, and 0.059, respectively. Both 10-fold cross-validated C-indices and sensitivity analysis (excluding participants with a follow-up duration of <6 months) yielded C-indices were above 0.740. ConclusionThis study developed concise and practical overall and gender-specific COPD risk prediction models and corresponding nomograms. The models demonstrated robust performance in predicting COPD incidence, providing a valuable reference for identifying high-risk populations and formulating targeted screening and personalized management strategies.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ultrasound and CT three-dimensional reconstruction in open reduction and internal fixation of fractured ribs.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 112 patients with chest trauma and rib fractures admitted to Yan′an People′s Hospital from January 2021 to September 2023. According to the different preoperative positioning methods used, the reconstruction group was divided into a reconstruction group ( n=61) and a combined group ( n=51). The reconstruction group positioned the surgical incision position based on conventional CT three-dimensional reconstruction, while the combined group positioned the rib fracture end based on CT three-dimensional reconstruction combined with ultrasound. Record clinical data of two groups of patients and compare their preoperative positioning accuracy, average incision length, exposure time of fracture ends, fracture healing time, incision infection rate, surgical related indicators, visual analogue pain score (VAS) at one month after surgery, and surgical incision healing levels. Measurement data with normal distribution were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( ± s), and t-test was used for inter group comparison; Comparison of count data between groups using chi-square test; The comparison of grade data were conducted using Mann-Whitney U test. Results:The preoperative localization accuracy, postoperative VAS at one month, and surgical incision healing grade A of the combined group patients were 94.4%, (2.26±0.48) points, 96.1%, respectively, the reconstruction group were 84.1%, (4.52±1.34) points, 72.1%, the combined group was better than the reconstructed group, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05); The average incision length, fracture exposure time, fracture healing time, surgical time, and thoracic tube retention time of the combined group were (7.32±2.44) cm, (18.06±4.78) min, (48.16±4.58) d, (55.46±7.48) min, and (3.57±1.28) min, respectively. The reconstruction group were (10.16±2.86) cm, (29.45±5.65) min, (55.36±4.45) d, (64.36±7.52) min, and (7.49±1.52) min, respectively, the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Application of ultrasound combined with CT three-dimensional reconstruction in open reduction and internal fixation of fractured ribs can increase the preoperative positioning accuracy, which can guide the surgical incision, thus alleviating postoperative pain, facilitating postoperative healing, minimizing surgical trauma, and improving the patient′s prognosis.
