OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality based on the 10-year population-based multicenter prospective study. METHODS: A general population-based multicenter prospective study was conducted at four sites in rural China between 2013 and 2023. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards models and restricted cubic spline analyses were used to assess the association between BMI and mortality. Stratified analyses were performed based on the individual characteristics of the participants. RESULTS: Overall, 19,107 participants with a sum of 163,095 person-years were included and 1,910 participants died. The underweight (< 18.5 kg/m ²) presented an increase in all-cause mortality (adjusted hazards ratio [ aHR] = 2.00, 95% confidence interval [ CI]: 1.66-2.41), while overweight (≥ 24.0 to < 28.0 kg/m ²) and obesity (≥ 28.0 kg/m ²) presented a decrease with an aHR of 0.61 (95% CI: 0.52-0.73) and 0.51 (95% CI: 0.37-0.70), respectively. Overweight ( aHR = 0.76, 95% CI: 0.67-0.86) and mild obesity ( aHR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.59-0.87) had a positive impact on mortality in people older than 60 years. All-cause mortality decreased rapidly until reaching a BMI of 25.7 kg/m ² ( aHR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.98) and increased slightly above that value, indicating a U-shaped association. The beneficial impact of being overweight on mortality was robust in most subgroups and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that overweight and mild obesity may be inversely related to the risk of death in individuals older than 60 years. Therefore, it is essential to consider age differences when formulating health and weight management strategies.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of road traffic accident injuries in Beijing can provide a theoretical basis for improving the pre-hospital emergency service capabilities and levels,and increasing patient survival rates while reducing disability,mortality rates.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 9207 patients who made pre-hospital emergency calls due to road traffic accident injuries at the Beijing Emergency Medical Center in 2023 to understand the patients' age,gender,injury time,injury location,injury degree and other characteristics.Results Traumatic diseases ranked first in the classification of emergency medical conditions in Beijing.Among them,road traffic accidents account for 37％.The ratio of male to female patients was 1.32∶1.The largest number of patients were aged 31-40,accounting for nearly 25％.The proportion of underage patients and those aged 71 and above was 12.16％.The differences in gender and age distribution were statistically significant,while the differences in gender distribution among different age groups were not statistically significant.Road traffic accident injuries occured most frequently in September and least in January.There were more cases in summer and autumn,and fewer in winter and spring.The most common injury sites in road traffic accidents were limbs/skin and head and neck,accounting for 81.06％.The patients with moderate severity of injuries were the most numerous,accounting for 85.29％.Conclusion To avoid road traffic accidents,prevention should be the priority.It is necessary to strengthen the joint governance of multiple departments and minimize the occurrence of road traffic accident from the source.Pre-hospital emergency care must focus on key populations and key seasons,strengthen professional skills training and resource allocation,ensure efficient and smooth connection between pre-hospital and in-hospital care.Popularize and publicize the importance of self-rescue and mutual rescue,promote first aid knowledge and skills training for the public,and create a social atmosphere where"rescue is right beside us".

Objective:To investigate the effects of psychosocial factors on early puberty and its sex specific differences.Methods:Bengbu Yuhui Longitudinal Study of Children Development Cohort, consisting of 1 162 students in grades 1-3 (524 girls) and their parents, was established in April 2021 in Bengbu, Anhui Province. The parents were surveyed by questionnaire to collect the information about their children's 56 items of psychosocial factor exposures, including 5 dimensions: major life events, early life adversity, interpersonal/relational conflict, family economic status and daily life troubles. Pubertal growth and physical examinations were conducted by trained professionals at baseline, the 1 st (May 2022), 2 nd (October 2022), 3 rd (May 2023), and 4 th (October 2023) follow-up surveys. In this study, the pubertal development status data were from the 4 th follow-up examination. Fianally, the valid data on pubertal development of 1 105 children were obtained, including the data from 510 girls (46.15%). Multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze the association between psychosocial factors and early puberty, and the final predictors of early puberty were explored by using four models [least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), multiple logistic regression, ridge regression, and Bayesian]. Results:The detection rates of early puberty in boys and girls were 13.60% and 16.30%, respectively. The median of intra-group absolute correlation of psychosocial factor exposure (0.042-0.066) was generally higher than that of inter-group among girls (0.031-0.059), while no similar diference was found among boys. LASSO model showed that moving house, being raised by someone other than parents, sexual abuse, peer conflict, high monthly household income, and high exposure to electronics on school days were predictors of early puberty in girls, while moving house and high monthly household income were the predictors of early puberty in girls in all four models (LASSO, multiple logistic regression, ridge regression, and Bayesian). Among boys, only a transient loss from family was a predictor of early puberty.Conclusion:Early puberty in children can be predicted by psychosocial factors, and there are gender-specific differences.

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.

AIM:To compare the differences, correlations and consistency of IOL Master 700 or Lenstar LS900 in preoperative ocular biometry and the accuracy of intraocular lens(IOL)degree calculation of cataract patients with high myopia.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 136 cases(136 eyes)of high myopia and cataract patients who underwent phacoemulsification at the ophthalmology department of Army Medical Center of PLA from March 2021 to March 2023 were collected, with a mean age of 57.38±8.08 years. Patients were divided into 3 groups based on axial length(AL): 41 eyes in group A(26 mm≤ AL ≤28 mm), 43 eyes in group B(28 mm< AL ≤30 mm)and 52 eyes in group C(AL >30 mm). AL, mean keratometry(Km), anterior chamber depth(ACD), lens thickness(LT)and white-to-white(WTW)were preoperatively measured by two instruments, respectively. Barrett Universal II formula was used to calculate the IOL degrees of all patients, the appropriate reserved diopter was decided individually, and the prediction error(PE)and absolute error(AE)of the two instruments were compared.RESULTS:The AL and ACD of patients in the three groups measured by Lenstar LS900 were higher than the AL measurd by IOL Master 700(all P<0.05), with a difference of AL measured by the two devices: group C>group B>group A. However, there was no statistical significance in LT, Km, and WTW measured by the two instruments(all P>0.05). All biometric parameters measured by the two devices were positively correlated(all r>0.9, P<0.05), and consistent(95% LoA of all groups were narrow). There was no statistically significant difference in AE calculated by the two devices(P>0.05), but the IOL Master 700 calculated a smaller PE than Lenstar LS900(P<0.05), with lower percentage of hyperopic shift in IOL Master 700.CONCLUSION:In cataract patients with high myopia, AL measured by Lenstar LS900 is longer than that by IOL Master 700, and the differences of AL increase along with the growth of AL. Both devices have a good prediction for IOL calculation, but IOL Master 700 has less refractive error, lower percentage of hyperopic shift, and greater clinical advantages IOL Master 700.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effectiveness of manipulation treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH) based on the model of muscle and bone assessment. METHODS: From May 2022 to August 2023, using the methods single-center randomized controlled in Ruijin Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, 72 patients were treated with LDH and divided into muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group and the two step seven gimmick group according to the random number table method, the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group fall off in 1 case, the two step seven gimmick group falls off in 2 cases. There were 35 cases in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group, including 12 males and 23 females;The age was 27 to 48 years old with an average of (37.77±7.63) years old. The course of disease was 35 to 180 days with an average of (83.68±69.01) days. The patients were treated with manual therapy under the guidance of muscle and bone assessment model, twice a week for 4 weeks. There were 34 cases in the two step seven gimmick group including 12 males and 22 females;The age was 26 to 49 years old with an average of (37.59±7.43) years old;The course of disease was 40 to 175 days with an average of (82.15±68.87) days. The patients were treated with two step seven gimmick method, 2 times a week, for 4 weeks. The visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (Oswestry disability index, ODI) questionnaire, muscle tension and lumbar spine angle and the straight leg-raising activities were compared between two groups before and 4 weeks after treatment. RESULTS: The VAS of the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group and the two step seven gimmick group(6.51±0.61) and (6.62±0.56) before treatment decreased to 2.40±0.81 and 3.18±0.78 after 4 weeks of treatment, respectively, and the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group was significantly lower than the two step seven gimmick group (P<0.01). The ODI of the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group and the two step seven gimmick group were (64.57±5.11) and (65.02±5.18) before treatment, decreased to (18.60±2.27) and (24.70±2.14) after 4 weeks of treatment, and the ODI of the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group was significantly lower than that of the two step seven gimmick group (P<0.01). Before the treatment, side erector spinae, gluteus medius, and gastrocnemius muscle tension were (59.95±2.60), (62.59±2.51), (49.97±2.01) in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group and (60.39±3.84), (62.47±3.27), (49.55±1.27) in the two step seven gimmick group;After 4 weeks of treatment, the muscle tension of erector spinae, gluteus medius and gastrocnemius on the affected side were (56.58±2.71), (60.44±2.31) and (49.19±1.57) in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group, (58.28±3.79), (60.11±2.87), (48.55±0.90) in the two step seven gimmick group, the differences had statistical significance before and after treatment of two groups(P<0.01). The muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group was better than the two step seven gimmick group in improving the erector spinae muscle tension on the affected side (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in the rest (P>0.05). Before the treatment, lumbar proneness, stretch, subject to lateral flexion and lateral angle of the straight leg-raising on the affected side were (46.00±8.89)°, (13.57±3.75)°, (12.29±3.50) °, (43.71±7.98) ° in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group, (45.14±6.24) °, (12.23±3.75) °, (12.66±2.98) ° and (44.18±3.50) ° in the two step seven gimmick group. After 4 weeks of treatment, the angles of lumbar flexion, extension, flexion on the affected side and straight leg raising on the affected side were (76.29±4.43) °, (20.00±1.71) °, (22.43±2.81) °, (70.41±7.59) ° in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group, and (75.75±6.38) °, (16.43±3.36) °, (20.19±3.52) °, (65.42±6.15) ° in the two step seven gimmick group. The difference had statistical significance before and after treatment in two groups(P<0.01), a comparison between groups, after 4 weeks of treatment, the angles of lumbar flexion and extension, affected side flexion, and lower limb straight leg elevation in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group were better than those in the two step seven gimmick group (P<0.05). Before the treatment, pelvic tilt, lumbar lordosis angle were (2.71±1.01) mm, (37.63±3.35) ° in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group, and (2.69±0.97) mm, (36.98±3.73) ° in the two step seven gimmick group;After 4 weeks of treatment, the pelvic tilt and lumbar lordosis angle were (0.84±0.36) mm and (41.64±2.96) ° in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group, and those in the method of two step seven gimmick group were (1.18±0.75) mm and (41.70±3.14) °. There were significant differences before and after treatment in both groups (P<0.01), and the improvement of pelvic tilt in the muscle and bone assessment model manipulation group was better than that in the method of two step seven gimmick group after 4 weeks of treatment (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The manipulation under the guidance of the muscle and bone assessment model can effectively improve the pain and dysfunction of LDH patients, and has a better effect than the two-step seven-method manipulation group in improving the muscle tension, lumbar motion function and posture.

Heart failure(HF)is the end stage of almost all cardiovascular diseases,including coronary heart disease and structural heart disease.For end-stage HF,medications and cardiac assist devices have limited therapeutic effects,and heart transplantation is associated with donor shortage and immune rejection.Alginate hydrogel has the ability to mechanically support and induce cardiac tissue regeneration and repair.In March 2021,we conducted the world's first transcatheter endocardial alginate-hydrogel implantation in patients with end-stage heart failure,and explored the safety and feasibility of the treatment.Given that patients with heart failure who had undergone cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator(CRT-D)were excluded from previous studies,this paper is the first to report a case of transcatheter endocardial alginate-hydrogel implantation in a patient with heart failure who did not respond to CRT-D,with a significant reduction in the number of visits to the doctor and a significant improvement in the quality of life during the post-procedure follow-up,which may expand the indications for the use of this technology.
