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 explore the clinical and biochemical characteristics of patients with hyperuricemia according to different pathophysiological subtypes. This may facilitate rapid identification of each subtype in clinical settings and provide evidence for personalized urate-lowering treatment.Methods:Patients diagnosed with hyperuricemia at the Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Tenth People′s Hospital of Tongji University between October 2015 and January 2024 were included. Based on 24-h urinary uric acid excretion(UUE) and the fractional excretion of uric acid(FEUA), patients were classified into four subtypes: renal uric acid underexcretion type(RUE), renal uric acid overload type(ROL), combined type and renal normal type. Clinical and biochemical variables-including sex, age, BMI, smoking history, comorbidities, blood glucose, and serum uric acid-were analyzed. Binary logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with each subtype.Results:Among 2 073 patients with hyperuricemia, 55.8% were RUE type, 6.9% were ROL type, 31.3% were combined type and 6.0% were renal normal type. RUE type had lower blood glucose levels and fewer cases of diabetes [ OR=0.685(95% CI 0.478-0.980), P<0.05]. ROL type showed a higher incidence of tophi, positively correlated with smoking history [ OR=1.672(95% CI 1.009-2.771), P<0.05], and negatively correlated with serum uric acid levels [ OR=0.994(95% CI 0.990-0.998), P=0.001]. Combined type had the youngest onset age, shortest disease duration, and the fewest comorbidities, and was associated with higher BMI [ OR=1.035(95% CI 1.001-1.070), P<0.05]. Renal normal type had the oldest age of onset, the highest proportion of female patients and comorbidities, and was associated with lower serum uric acid levels[ OR=0.994(95% CI 0.989-0.998), P=0.007], higher BMI[ OR=1.064(95% CI 1.003-1.129), P<0.05], and increased tophi incidence[ OR=2.261(95% CI 1.206-4.237), P=0.011]. Conclusion:Each pathophysiological subtype of hyperuricemia exhibits distinct clinical and biochemical characteristics, which may serve as useful references for subtype identification and personalized management in clinical practice.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the protective effect and possible related mechanisms of Sophora subprostrate polysaccharide(SSP)on intestinal epithelial cell injury in-duced by Tert-Butyl hydroperoxide(TBHP).The optimal dose of TBHP and the safe concentra-tion range of SSP were determined using the MTT method.In this study,IPEC-J2 cells were divid-ed into five groups:the control group,the model group,the SSPL group,the SSPM group and the SSPH group,and the cell morphology,cell survival rate and LDH release rate were observed and measured.The content of intracellular reactive ROS was observed and determined by DCFH-DA staining.The content of MDA in the supernatant and the antioxidant index of cells were determined by the reagent kit.Transcriptome technology was employed to analyze the potential mechanisms by which SSP mitigates oxidative damage in IPEC-J2 cells.The results showed that treatment with 625 μmol/L TBHP for 2 h significantly reduced the activity of IPEC-J2 cells,markedly increased LDH release(P＜0.05),inhibited CAT superoxide SOD and glutathione GPX activities(P＜0.05),and significantly elevated MDA and ROS levels(P＜0.05).Compared to the model group,after SSP treatment,intracellular ROS levels were significantly reduced(P＜0.05),while CAT,SOD,and GPX activities were significantly increased(P＜0.05),and MDA content and LDH re-lease were significantly decreased(P＜0.05)in a dose-dependent manner.Transcriptome analysis revealed that TBHP treatment significantly altered the transcriptional profiles of IPEC-J2 cells,while SSP treatment could restore the transcriptional profiles of the damaged cells to a certain ex-tent.Gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)indicated that the differentially expressed genes between the CC and TBHP groups were significantly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ribosome,and other pathways.Meanwhile,the differentially expressed genes between the SSP and TBHP groups were mainly enriched in oxidative phosphorylation,ap-optosis,glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism,and other pathways.These results suggest that TBHP may disrupt normal oxidative respiration in IPEC-J2 cells by affecting oxidative phospho-rylation and interfering with metabolism pathways involving glycine,serine,and threonine,leading to oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells.Conversely,SSP treatment may potentially restore oxidative phosphorylation processes,alleviate lysosomal damage,reduce cell apoptosis,and miti-gate oxidative damage in intestinal epithelial cells through modulation of oxidative phosphoryla-tion,apoptosis,and lysosomal pathways.This discovery provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of SSP in alleviating oxidative damage in the porcine intestinal tract.

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the surveillance of Mycobacterium tuberculosis/HIV (TB/HIV) co-infection in Liaoning Province from 2016 to 2021, providing a scientific basis for formulating future prevention and control measures applicable to the province-wide co-infection. Methods　A descriptive analysis was conducted on patient registration, two-way screening, and treatment information from the annual report of patients with TB/HIV co-infection in Liaoning Province from 2016 to 2021. Results From 2016 to 2021, 222 cases of TB/HIV co-infection were registered in Liaoning Province, accounting for 0.16% (222/136 709) of TB patients and 1.42% (222/15 584) of HIV/AIDS patients. In HIV/AIDS, the symptom screening rate was 96.01%, showing a downward trend (χ2trend=982.28, P<0.05). The TB detection rate was 0.47%, also showing a downward trend (χ2trend=36.56, P<0.05), while the chest radiograph or sputum detection rate was 94.61%, showing an overall upward trend (χ2trend=96.5, P<0.05). Among TB patients, 65 188 were tested for HIV antibodies, with a detection rate of 47.68%, which showed an overall upward trend (χ2trend=3 326.38, P<0.05). There were 39 HIV-positive cases detected, with the positive detection rate in TB patients decreasing from 0.12% to 0.07%. From 2016 to 2021, the majority of co-infected patients were male and ≥15 years old, with 496 cases (92.36%) of males and 41 cases (7.64%) of females. Among the 537 patients with co-infection, 47 cases (8.75%) received anti-tuberculosis therapy alone, 72 cases (13.41%) received anti-HIV therapy alone, and 408 cases (75.98%) received combined therapy, with an overall downward trend (χ2trend=9.54, P<0.05). Conclusions Focus should be placed on the male population and those aged ≥15 years, with future efforts aimed at enhancing two-way screening work among TB and HIV/AIDS patients and improving the rate of combined treatment.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of Gushi Zaizao Pills for steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head(SONFH).Methods Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,Xianling Gubao Capsules group and Gushi Zaizao Pills group.Except for the normal group,the rats in all other groups were replicated the SONFH model.After successful modeling,the continuous drug administration was carried out for six weeks.The thymus and spleen of the rats were taken to calculate the immune organ indices,the contents of interleukin 1β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)in rat synovial fluid were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),the percentage of empty lacunae and area ratio of trabecular bone was detected by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,and the femoral head parameters[reduction of bone volume fraction(BV/TV),trabecular number(Tb.N),trabecular thickness(Tb.Th)and trabecular separation(Tb.Sp)]were analyzed by Micro-CT,and bone strength of femoral head was detected by small animal bone strength tester.Results Compared with the normal group,the spleen and thymus indicators were significantly decreased in the model group,the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in rat synovial fluid were significantly increased,the percentage of empty lacunae was increased,the area ratio of trabecular bone was decreased,the BV/TV,Tb.N and Tb.Th were decreased,the Tb.Sp was increased,the bone strength of femoral head was significantly decreased,the differences being all statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the spleen and thymus indicators were significantly increased in Xianling Gubao Capsules group and Gushi Zaizao Pills group,the levels of IL-1β and TNF-α in rat synovial fluid were decreased,the percentage of empty lacunae was significantly decreased,the area ratio of trabecular bone was significantly increased,the BV/TV,Tb.N and Tb.Th were increased,the Tb.Sp was decreased,and the bone strength of femoral head was significantly increased,the differences being all statistically significant(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Gushi Zaizao Pills can effectively prevent the further development of SONFH by regulating cellular immunity and reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors,thereby reducing the pathological damage of the femoral head and enhancing the bone strength.

The breakage pattern of unit particles during the production of oral solid dosage forms (OSD) is closely related to the quality of intermediate or final products. To accurately characterize the particles and study the evolution law of particle breakage, the Bonding model of the discrete element method (DEM) was used to investigate the breakage patterns of model parameters, particle shape and process conditions (loading mode and loading rate) on the dynamic breakage, force-time curve, breakage rate, maximum breakage size ratio and fracture strength of particles. The results showed that the particle breakage force was positively correlated with normal strength and bonded disk scale, negatively correlated with normal stiffness per unit area and tangential stiffness per unit area, and weakly correlated with tangential strength. The particle breakage rate was negatively correlated with the aspect ratio of the particles, and the maximum breakage size ratio was positively correlated with the aspect ratio of the particles; among the three loading modes, the breakage rate of compression breakage model was the largest, the breakage rate of shear breakage model was the second largest, and the breakage rate of wear breakage model was the smallest; the maximum breakage size ratio was positively correlated with the loading rate, the loading mode and the loading rate had no mutual influence on particle breakage rate, but had mutual influence on the maximum breakage size ratio. The research results will provide a theoretical basis for the shift of OSD from batch manufacturing to advanced manufacturing.
