OBJECTIVE To analyze the safety and efficacy of vonoprazan (VPZ) in the treatment of peptic ulcer (PU) and post-endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) ulcers, providing evidence-based pharmaceutical evidence for clinical practice and medical decision-making. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, CBM, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, meta-analyses/systematic reviews related to VPZ in the treatment of PU and post-ESD ulcers were collected. Two researchers independently performed literature screening, data extraction, quality assessment of included studies, and evaluation of literature overlap. By employing the umbrella review analysis, a fresh meta-analysis was conducted on all relevant raw research data when a high degree of overlap was identified among the included studies. RESULTS A total of 17 meta-analyses were included, with quality ranging from high to very low; all outcome measures involved showed a very high level of overlap in the included meta-analyses (corrected covered area: 22.22%-100%). In the treatment of post-ESD ulcers, compared to proton pump inhibitor (PPI), VPZ significantly improved the ulcer healing rate at 4 weeks post-ESD [RR=1.27, 95%CI (1.03, 1.56), Z=2.21, P= 0.027] and the ulcer contraction rate post-ESD [MD=0.08, 95%CI (0.00, 0.16), Z=2.09, P=0.037], while significantly reducing the ulcer recurrence rate in patients with a history of PU [RR=0.49, 95%CI (0.32, 0.73), Z=3.49, P=0.001]; the delayed bleeding rate in the VPZ group was significantly lower than that in the lansoprazole subgroup [RR=0.47, 95%CI (0.25, 0.90), Z=2.28, P=0.02]. In the treatment of PU, the incidence of adverse events with VPZ was significantly higher than that with PPI in the duodenal ulcer subgroup [RR=1.13, 95%CI (1.02, 1.26), Z=2.38, P=0.017]. CONCLUSIONS For post-ESD ulcers, VPZ demonstrates superior therapeutic efficacy compared to PPI and can reduce ulcer recurrence rates in patients with a history of PU. However, it does not offer advantages in terms of safety for duodenal ulcer treatment.

This study focuses on the core pathology of sinew wei (痿), which is mainly characterized by the fai-lure of qi and blood to nourish the sinews. A mechanical-biological response framework is constructed with mitochondria as a key component, explaining the modern interpretation of the disease location of sinew transmitting to qi and blood pathology. Mechanical loading, as a physical stress stimulus applied to the body, manifests primarily as passive loading formed by external forces such as massage, and active loading resulting from voluntary muscle contractions, such as dao yin (导引). Mechanical loading can regulate mitochondrial function through two pathways, mechanical signal transduction and metabolic demand-driven regulation. Skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction is regarded as the core microscopic basis of qi imbalance in sinew wei, highlighting the intrinsic connection between qi and mitochondrial energy metabolism, as well as between blood and microcirculatory efficiency. Accordingly, distinct regulatory patterns of mechanical loading are identified. Wei associated with qi stagnation may correspond to mitochondrial network fragmentation and can be treated by regulating qi through passive loading, such as tuina, to restore mitochondrial dynamics. In contrast, wei caused by qi deficiency is attributed to insufficient mitochondrial biogenesis and may be treated by tonifying qi through active loading, such as dao yin, to promote mitochondrial biogenesis. This framework reveals the biological differences in mitochondrial regulation induced by distinct mechanical loading modalities and provides a microscopic mechanism-based explanation for the principle of "treating the same disease with different methods" in sinew wei.

Objective:To explore and demonstrate the effect of general-specialty hierarchical management mode for chronic heart failure (CHF) in community.Methods:This was a single-blind, randomized, controlled study. A total of 530 CHF inpatients who attended Weifang Community Health Service Center (WCHSC) in Pudong New Area from February 2018 to September 2019 were consecutively enrolled. A random number table method was used to divide the patients into the management group ( n=265) and control group ( n=265). The demographic data and past medical history were collected 1 day before enrolment (baseline), and patients were assessed for New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification and tested for blood N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide proteins (NT-proBNP) levels, while Doppler echocardiography was performed to obtain the relevant indexes. The management group used a comprehensive management mode, co-delivered by both WCHSC (offering primary care) and RHSJUSM (offering specialty care) at Renji-Weifang CHF Studio in WCHSC , using the jointly developed CHF hierarchical CHF diagnosis and treatment criteria and referral procedure under the condition of sharing drugs and laboratory test results for CHF. The control group received routine heart failure care. Intergroup comparisons were made on baseline data obtained before follow-up and on NT-proBNP , left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), NYHA functional class , re-hospitalization rate and mortality rate at the end of the 6-month follow-up. Results:A total of 506 cases completed the follow-up. There were 253 patients in the management group, aged (68.26±9.41) years, 117 males (46.2%); 253 were in the control group, aged (66.98±9.63) years, 115 males (45.5%). There were no statistically significant differences in age, sex, marital status, education level, and comorbidities between the two groups (all P>0.05). At baseline, the differences in LVEF and NT-proBNP between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05), and at 6 months of intervention, LVEF, and NT-proBNP had significantly improved in both groups (all P<0.05) . Moreover, LVEF was higher in the management group than in the control group, and NT-proBNP was lower than in the control group (both P<0.01). At baseline, there were 166 cases (65.6%) in the control group with NYHA class Ⅲ/Ⅳ, and 145 cases (57.3%) in the comprehensive management group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 6 months of intervention, the percentage of NYHA class Ⅲ/Ⅳ patients in the comprehensive management group was lower than at baseline ( P<0.01),while that in the control group was higher than at baseline ( P<0.01), and the comprehensive management group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.01). During the follow-up period, the rehospitalization rate for CHF in the management group was 13.83%(35/253), which was lower than that in the control group, which was 26.88%(68/253) ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The comprehensive management mode of CHF in the community through collaboration between general and specialized departments can significantly improve the management effect, suggesting that this mode is effective and can be promoted.

Objective:To explore the incidence, clinical features, genetic variant characteristics and prognosis of Glutaric acidemia type I (GA1) among neonates from Henan Province.Methods:A total of 814 625 neonates undergoing screening for inherited metabolic diseases by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. A retrospective method was adopted to collect the clinical data of the patients. Whole exome sequencing was carried out to detect GCDH gene variants in individuals with positive results by GA1 newborn screening, and Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate variants. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the pathogenicity of candidate variants was rated. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the Hospital (Approval Number: 2019 Medical Ethics Review No. 67). Results:Eight cases of GA1 were diagnosed among the 814 625 neonates. Blood glutaryl carnitine (C5DC) and urine glutaric acid (GA) levels of the 8 children were higher than the normal reference values. In total 12 variants were detected, all of which were missense variants. c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) was the most common one, accounting for 21.4% (3/14). Three GCDH gene variants, including 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro), c. 467G>A (p.Gly156Asp) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp), were previously unreported. REVEL software analysis predicted that all of the three variants were harmful. 3D protein structure modeling indicated that the three variants may cause amino acid residue alterations, and c. 1297G>C (p.Ala433Pro) and c. 1125T>G (p.Cys375Trp) may result in increase in hydrogen bonds and may affect the function of GCDH protein. By December 2023, one of the eight children had deceased, and another child had severe clinical symptoms with poor prognosis. Six children had a good prognosis, of which two had mild motor development delay and four had normal development without clinical symptoms. Conclusion:The incidence of GA1 in newborns screened by MS/MS in Henan Province is 1/101 828, and the carrier rate of pathogenic GCDH variants is 1/160. The c. 1064G>A (p.Arg355His) may be the hotspot variant of the GCDH gene among children with GA1 in Henan. Discovery of the three novel variants has enriched the mutational spectrum of the GCDH gene and provide a basis for the early diagnosis, treatment, prognosis and genetic counseling of this disease.

Objective:To compare minimally invasive surgery with traditional open surgery, analyze the current application status of health economic evaluations in the treatment of digestive tract cancers, such as esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer by minimally invasive surgery and provide evidence for the rational selection of clinical treatment, alleviation of disease-related economic burdens, and rational allocation of healthcare resources.Methods:By using five databases, i.e. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang data, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, PubMed, and Embase, a database was established to retrieve all the papers about health economic studies of minimally invasive surgery for esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer published until December 31, 2023. Literature was analyzed by using software NoteExpress 3.8, and data were processed using Excel 2021. The quality of included papers was evaluated using the CHEERS 2022 checklist, and Meta-analysis was conducted by using software Stata 17.0.Results:A total of 10 919 relevant papers were retrieved, and 59 studies were included. Only 14 studies (23.7%) used standard health economic evaluation methods. Meta-analysis results revealed no significant differences in direct medical expenditure and total expenditure between minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. However, the expenditure for minimally invasive surgery exhibited a significant increase [mean difference ( MD)=5 973.12 yuan, P<0.001], while hospital stay and indirect expenditure significantly decreased ( MD: -4.85 days and -733.79 yuan, P<0.001). In China, for gastric cancer, the direct medical expenditure of endoscopic surgery was lower than that of open surgery ( MD=-33 000.00 yuan) with no significant difference ( P<0.001). In colorectal cancer cases, the direct medical and surgical expenditures for laparoscopic surgery were higher than those for open surgery ( MD: 4 277.94 yuan and 4 267.80 yuan, P<0.001), while the indirect and total medical expenditures decreased ( MD: -768.34 yuan and -159.10 yuan). Hospital stays in patients who had minimally invasive surgery for all three types of cancer were shorter than those who had open surgery ( P<0.001). Conclusions:In the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer, compared with open surgery, minimally invasive surgery shows higher expenditure, but has advantages, such as shorter hospital stay and lower indirect expenditure, and there were no significant differences in direct medical and total expenditures between the two approaches. When conducting health economic evaluation, factors such as postoperative complications, hospital stay, and patient's economic status should be considered for their impact on total medical expenditure. It is necessary to pay attention to the application of health economic evaluations in healthcare decision-making.

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 analyze the trajectory of dietary behaviors among middle school students in Jiading District, Shanghai, from 2021 to 2023, and longitudinally verify their association with anxiety and depression symptoms, aiming to provide scientific evidence for promoting the mental health of adolescents.
Methods:
The data were sourced from the National Monitoring and Intervention Project on Common Diseases and Health Impact Factors of students in Jiading District, Shanghai. A total of 1 217 middle school students who participated in at least two surveys from 2021 to 2023 were selected as the research objects, and group-based trajectory model was constructed to identify their dietary behavior scores trajectories. Modified Poisson regression was used to investigate the impact of dietary behavior scores trajectories on anxiety and depression, while Logistic regression was employed to explore the association between trajectories and changes in depression score levels.
Results:
The dietary behavior scores trajectories of middle school students were divided into three groups: Persistent Healthy Dietary Behavior (9.5%), Persistent Relatively Unhealthy Dietary Behavior (85.0%), and Persistent Very Unhealthy Dietary Behavior (5.5%). Students who perceived their academic performance as poor and whose parents had a cultural level of high school or below had a significantly lower proportion in the Persistent Healthy Dietary Behavior group compared to students with other characteristics ( χ 2=12.87, 8.69, 6.50, P <0.05). Compared with the Persistent Healthy Dietary Behavior group, the risk of anxiety symptoms in middle school students in the Persistent Very Unhealthy Dietary Behavior group was significantly increased ( aRR=3.04, 95%CI =1.15-8.02); Persistent Relatively Unhealthy Dietary Behavior and Persistent Very Unhealthy Dietary Behavior increased the risk of depressive symptoms ( aRR = 1.80 , 2.45, respectively), and were positively correlated with the increase in depression scores ( aOR =1.70, 2.24) ( P <0.05).
Conclusions
The dietary behavior of middle school students have not changed significantly in the past three years, with persistent unhealthy dietary behavior being the most common. Unhealthy dietary behaviors are positively correlated with the risk of anxiety and depressive symptoms and an increase in depression scores.
