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 evaluate the safety and efficacy of combined inflatable mediastinoscopy with laparoscopy guided by the concept of “reduced field and port” during esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.Methods:This is a retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 497 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma who underwent minimally invasive esophagectomy at the Center of Minimally Invasive Thoracic Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University, between January 2017 and December 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 416 male and 81 female patients, with an age of (68.3±8.0) years (range: 44 to 89 years). Patients were divided into the traditional video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery group (Group A, n=354) and the combined inflatable mediastinoscopy with laparoscopic surgery group(Group B, n=143) based on the surgical approach. Furthermore, Group B was subdivided into the multiport laparoscopic group (Group B1, n=81) and the single-incision laparoscopic surgery plus one port group (Group B2, n=62). Perioperative indicators and postoperative survival differences were compared between the groups. Inter-group comparisons were performed using the independent sample t-test, χ2 test, or Fisher′s exact probability test. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Log-rank test was used to analyze the survival differences between groups. Results:Compared with Group A, Group B demonstrated a significantly shorter operative time ((181.8±11.4) minutes vs. (196.7±8.1)minutes, t=16.09, P<0.01), a lower incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications (8.4% (12/143) vs. 17.8% (63/354), χ2=6.27, P=0.012), lower perioperative mortality (0 vs. 3.1%(11/354), P=0.039), and a shorter postoperative hospital stay ((16.2±2.2)days vs. (18.9±4.1)days, t=8.56, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the anastomotic leak rate, number of lymph nodes dissected, or intraoperative blood loss between the two groups (all P>0.05). Overall survival time and recurrence-free survival time showed no significant difference between the two groups (all P>0.05). Subgroup analysis revealed no significant differences in perioperative indicators or postoperative complication rates between Group B1 and Group B2. Conclusions:Compared with traditional thoracoscopic combined with laparoscopic surgery, inflatable mediastinoscopy offered advantages in terms of lower postoperative pulmonary complication rates, shorter operative time, reduced postoperative hospital stay, and lower perioperative mortality. The “reduced field and port” concept could further minimize surgical trauma during the transmediastinal approach for esophagectomy while ensuring surgical safety and efficacy.

Objective To explore the effects of dihydromyricetin on the proliferation,apoptosis,and invasion of endometrial cancer(EC)cells and its possible mechanisms.Methods Ishikawa cells in the logarithmic growth phase were taken and divided into the control group,20 μmol/L dihydromyricetin intervention group,40 μmol/L dihydromyricetin intervention group,and 80 μmol/L dihydromyricetin intervention group,which were treated with different final concentrations of dihydromyricetin(0 μmol/L,20 μmol/L,40 μmol/L,80 μmol/L).Then,CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry were used to detect the effects of dihydromyricetin on the cell proliferation and apoptosis.Transwell experiment was used to detect the effect of dihydromyricetin on the cell invasion.qRT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the effects of dihydromyricetin on the cell expression of miR-21 and PTEN.Results Compared with the control group,the cell proliferation inhibition rate and apoptosis rate in the dihydromyricetin intervention group were significantly increased(P<0.05),and gradually increased with the increase of dihydromyricetin concentration(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the numbers of migration and invasion cells in the dihydromyricetin intervention group were significantly decreased(P<0.05),and gradually decreased with the increase of dihydromyricetin concentration(P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the cell expression of miR-21 in the dihydromyricetin intervention group was significantly decreased(P<0.05),and gradually decreased with the increase of dihydromyricetin concentration(P<0.05),the expression levels of PTEN mRNA and protein were significantly increased(P<0.05),and gradually increased with the increase of dihydromyricetin concentration(P<0.05).Conclusion Dihydromyricetin can inhibit the growth and metastasis of EC cells,and the inhibitory effect is positively correlated with its concentration.The mechanism may be related to the effect of dihydromyricetin on the miR-21/PTEN signaling pathway of EC cells.

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 explore the heterogeneity and correlation of clinical phenotypes and genotypes in children with disorders of sex development (DSD). Methods: A retrospective study of 1 235 patients with clinically proposed DSD in 36 pediatric medical institutions across the country from January 2017 to May 2021. After capturing 277 DSD-related candidate genes, second-generation sequencing was performed to analyzed the heterogeneity and correlation combined with clinical phenotypes. Results: Among 1 235 children with clinically proposed DSD, 980 were males and 255 were females of social gender at the time of initial diagnosis with the age ranged from 1 day of age to 17.92 years. A total of 443 children with pathogenic variants were detected through molecular genetic studies, with a positive detection rate of 35.9%. The most common clinical phenotypes were micropenis (455 cases), hypospadias (321 cases), and cryptorchidism (172 cases) and common mutations detected were in SRD5A2 gene (80 cases), AR gene (53 cases) and CYP21A2 gene (44 cases). Among them, the SRD5A2 mutation is the most common in children with simple micropenis and simple hypospadias, while the AMH mutation is the most common in children with simple cryptorchidism. Conclusions: The SRD5A2 mutation is the most common genetic variant in Chinese children with DSD, and micropenis, cryptorchidism, and hypospadias are the most common clinical phenotypes. Molecular diagnosis can provide clues about the biological basis of DSD, and can also guide clinicians to perform specific clinical examinations. Target sequence capture probes and next-generation sequencing technology can provide effective and economical genetic diagnosis for children with DSD.

Objective To explore the influence of muscle and fat distribution on sit-up ability of female college students. Methods A total of 1560 female students majoring in non-physical education in a Guangxi University were randomly selected. Body composition was measured by the bioresistance antibody component meter. According to the National Physical Health Test Standard, the height, weight and sit-ups of female college students were measured. The students were divided into four groups according to the score of sit-ups:<60 points, 60-69 points, 70-79 points, ≥80 points. SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results There were statistically significant differences in body fat rate, total fat mass, trunk fat mass, trunk fat rate, visceral fat area, visceral fat mass and subcutaneous fat mass in different sit-ups (F value were 3.414, 2.914, 2.881, 3.347, 3.064, 3.235, 2.766, P<0.05). That was, the fat parameters in the 60-69 group were the highest and ≥80 the lowest. However, there was no significant difference between total muscle mass and trunk muscle mass in each score segment. After correcting for age, height, and weight factors, except for visceral fat area and visceral fat mass, the correlation between other fat parameters and sit-up score were negatively correlated, which were statistically significant (r<0, P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between each muscle parameter and sit-up performance (r>0, P<0.05). Compared with other parameters, the correlation coefficient between trunk muscle mass and sit-ups was the largest. Conclusion The distribution of fat and muscle has different effects on sit-up ability. Female college students' sit-up ability is greatly affected by subcutaneous fat and trunk muscle, and has nothing to do with visceral fat.

BACKGROUND: Shenyankangfu Tablet (SYKFT) is a Chinese patent medicine that has been used widely to decrease proteinuria and the progression of chronic kidney disease. OBJECTIVE: This trial compared the efficacy and safety of SYKFT, for the control of proteinuria in primary glomerulonephritis patients, against the standard drug, losartan potassium. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS AND INTERVENTION: This was a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. Primary glomerulonephritis patients, aged 18-70 years, with blood pressure ≤ 140/90 mmHg, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 45 mL/min per 1.73 m MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was change in the 24-hour proteinuria level, after 48 weeks of treatment. RESULTS: A total of 735 participants were enrolled. The percent decline of urine protein quantification in the SYKFT group after 48 weeks was 8.78% ± 2.56% (P = 0.006) more than that in the losartan 50 mg group, which was 0.51% ± 2.54% (P = 1.000) less than that in the losartan 100 mg group. Compared with the losartan potassium 50 mg group, the SYKFT plus losartan potassium 50 mg group had a 13.39% ± 2.49% (P < 0.001) greater reduction in urine protein level. Compared with the losartan potassium 100 mg group, the SYKFT plus losartan potassium 100 mg group had a 9.77% ± 2.52% (P = 0.001) greater reduction in urine protein. With a superiority threshold of 15%, neither was statistically significant. eGFR, serum creatinine and serum albumin from the baseline did not change statistically significant. The average change in TCM syndrome score between the patients who took SYKFT (-3.00 [-6.00, -2.00]) and who did not take SYKFT (-2.00 [-5.00, 0]) was statistically significant (P = 0.003). No obvious adverse reactions were observed in any group. CONCLUSION: SYKFT decreased the proteinuria and improved the TCM syndrome scores of primary glomerulonephritis patients, with no change in the rate of decrease in the eGFR. SYKFT plus losartan potassium therapy decreased proteinuria more than losartan potassium therapy alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT02063100 on ClinicalTrials.gov.
