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 understand the epidemic characteristics of Norovirus infection in schools in Hefei City,and provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of Norovirus infection in schools.Methods The investiga-tion reports of Norovirus infection reported by the centers for disease control and prevention(CDC)of all counties(cities and districts)in Hefei City and the laboratory test results of Hefei CDC from 2018 to 2022 were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods.The related indicators of Norovirus infection,including the attack rate,timeli-ness of reporting,duration of epidemic,clinical symptoms,as well as GⅠ and G Ⅱ classification of Norovirus were compared.Results From 2018 to 2022,there were 217 school Norovirus infections outbreaks in Hefei City,with 3 002 cases and 314 006 affected people.The average annual attack rate ranged from 0.82％to 1.32％.Most cases were from kindergartens,there were 116 cases,accounting for 53.46％,with an average attack rate of 2.87％.The time distribution was bimodal,concentrated in March-June and September-December each year.The attack rate and duration of outbreaks were both significantly higher than those of clustering epidemics(both P＜0.001).Positive correlation existed between the timeliness of reporting and the number of outbreaks at the time of receiving the re-port as well as the duration of the epidemic(r=0.182,0.783,respectively,both P＜0.001).With the advance-ment of the academic stage,the symptom with diarrhea showed an increasing trend(x2trend=743.236,P＜0.001),the symptom with vomiting presented a decreasing trend(x2trend=386.888,P＜0.001),and the symptoms with both diarrhea and vomiting presented an increasing trend(x2trend=327.264,P＜0.001),while the symptom with fe-ver presented a decreasing trend(x2trend=15.717,P＜0.001).The positive detection rate of anal swab specimens(60.10％)was higher than that of vomit and environmental specimens(38.71％,14.29％,respectively,x2=135.685,P＜0.001).The laboratory identified 181 cases with Norovirus GⅠ and G Ⅱ subtypes,including 28 cases of G Ⅰsubtype,accounting for 15.47％,and 149 cases of G Ⅱ subtype,accounting for 82.32％.Conclusion Schools are locations with high incidence of Norovirus infection.At the beginning of the school season,various prevention and control measures should be strictly implemented to improve the monitoring sensitivity of symptoms like vomiting,diarrhea,and so on,so as to achieve early detection,early report and early treatment.

Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of urinary tract pathogens in patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection and their sensitivity to nenoxacin and levofloxacin.Methods:This prospective, multicenter clinical trial included patients with community-acquired urinary tract infection who were admitted to urological clinics at 9 clinical research centers from November 2021 to August 2022.Inclusion criteria: Patients aged 18-70 years with community-acquired acute uncomplicated cystitis(AUC), recurrent acute episodes of urinary tract infection(rUTI), and non-febrile complicated urinary tract infection(cUTI) with signs of urinary tract irritation and abnormal elevation of routine white blood cells in urine. Exclusion criteria: ①Patients who received effective antimicrobial therapy within 72 h before enrollment and lasted for more than 24 h. ②Fever (>37.3℃) or symptoms of upper urinary tract infection such as low back pain, tapping pain in the kidney area, etc. ③Indwelling urinary catheter. At the first visit, clean midstream urine samples were taken for bacterial culture, and the distribution characteristics of urinary pathogens of different types of urinary tract infections were analyzed. Extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) were measured for Gram-negative bacteria. The susceptibility of nenoxacin and levofloxacin to urinary tract pathogens was determined by disk diffusion method. Drug resistance rate, sensitivity rate were analyzed between different disease groups.Results:There were 404 enrolled patients from 9 hospitals, including 364 (90.1%) females and 40 (9.9%) males. A total of 177 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated, among which the highest proportion of Escherichia coli was 66.1% (117/177).Klebsiella pneumoniae was followed by 6.8% (12/177) and Streptococcus agalactis 5.1% (9/177). The bacterial spectrum distribution of AUC and rUTI were similar, and the proportions of Escherichia coli were 70.6% (85/119) and 65.9% (29/44), respectively. However, the proportions of Escherichia coli isolated from cUTI patients were only 28.6% (4/14) and Enterococcus faecalis 7.1%(1/14). The overall detection rate of ESBLs in Gram-negative bacteria was 30.9%(43/139). The sensitivity rate of nenoxacin was 74.6%(91/122), and the resistance rate was 25.4%(31/122). The overall sensitivity rate of levofloxacin was 44.9%(70/156) and the resistance rate was 36.5%(57/156). The rate of resistance of urinary tract pathogens to levofloxacin was 48.2% (27/56) in patients with previous urinary tract infection history, and 30.0% (30/100) in patients with no previous urinary tract infection history, the difference was statistically significant( P=0.023).The sensitivity rate of Gram-negative bacteria to nenofloxacin was 70.7% (65/92) and that to levofloxacin was 50.0% (46/92, P<0.001). The sensitivity of Gram-positive bacteria to nenofloxacin was 80.0% (16/20), and that to levofloxacin was 70.0% (14/20, P=0.009). Conclusions:The bacterial profile of out-patient community acquired urinary tract infection varies greatly according to different diseases. The proportion of Escherichia coli in AUC and rUTI patients is higher than that in cUTI. The detection rate of ESBLs in Gram-negative bacteria was lower than the domestic average.Patients with a history of urinary tract infection had a high risk of treatment failure with levofloxacin. The sensitivity of common urinary tract pathogens to nenofloxacin was higher than levofloxacin.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the expression of prolyl 4-hydroxylase β-polypeptide(P4HB)in glioblastoma multiforme(GBM)and its impact on clinical prognosis,as well as on the proliferation and migration of U87 cells.Methods(1)According to the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,GTEx database and GEPIA2 database,the difference expression of P4HB in GBM and normal brain tissues were analyzed by R software.(2)A total of 52 patients with GBM who underwent surgical treatment from February 2017 to December 2019 were collected from Department of Neurosurgery,the Second People's Hospital of Guiyang.The normal brain tissues of 10 patients were selected as controls.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of P4HB in tumor tissues and normal tissues.The Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test was employed for survival analysis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive valuable of P4HB expression in survival rate of GBM.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to identify the expression of P4HB and related clinicopathological factors affecting the survival and prognosis of the patients.(3)Human GBM U87 cells were randomly assigned into three groups:control group,NC-siRNA group and P4HB-siRNA group.P4HB expression was interfered with by the transfection of siRNA in P4HB-siRNA group.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the content of P4HB mRNA in U87 cells.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)and immunofluorescence assay were used to analyze the effects of P4HB on the proliferation of U87 cells.Scratch test was used to analyze the effects of P4HB on cell migration.Results The expression of P4HB was significantly upregulated in GBM tissues compared with normal brain tissues(P<0.05).The γδ T cells(r=-0.227)and follicular helper T cells(r=-0.226)were negatively correlated with the expression of P4HB,while natural killer cell(r=0.417),macrophages(r=0.374),neutrophils(r=0.344),and immature dendritic cells(r=0.263)were positively correlated with the expression of P4HB.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the progression-free survival and disease-specific survival of GBM patients with high P4HB expression were significantly lower than those with low expression(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of P4HB in predicting overall survival rate of GBM patients was 0.982,and 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival was 0.655,0.724,0.861,respectively.The immunohistochemistry results suggested that P4HB protein was significantly highly expressed in GBM tumors.Survival analysis indicated that high expression of P4HB was associated with bad prognosis in GBM patients(P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that high expression of P4HB and TERT promoter mutations were the independent prognostic risk factors for GBM(P<0.05).Compared with control group and NC-siRNA group,the expression levels of P4HB were decreased significantly after transfected with siRNA in U87 cells of P4HB-siRNA group(P<0.01),and the proliferation ability and the wound healing rate were decreased significantly in P4HB-siRNA group(P<0.001).Conclusions P4HB is significantly highly expressed in GBM,which indicates that the prognosis of patients is poor.Knockout of P4HB could inhibit cellular proliferation and migration of GBM U87 cells.P4HB may be used as the relevant predictive marker and potential therapeutic target in GBM.
