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 investigate the effects and mechanisms of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and Captopril (CAP) on mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI) in mice.Methods:Seventy-two healthy male BALB/c mice were randomly assigned (using a random number table) into six groups ( n=12 per group): normal control (NC) group, VILI group, ACE2 group, VILI+ACE2 group, CAP group, and VILI+CAP group. One hour prior to mechanical ventilation, the ACE2 and VILI+ACE2 groups were intraperitoneally injected with ACE2 at a dose of 0.1 mg/kg, while the CAP and VILI+CAP groups were intraperitoneally injected with CAP at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg. Following mechanical ventilation, serum samples were collected and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect inflammatory factors [platelet activating factor (PAF), endothelin-1 (ET-1), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)] and cardiovascular system related indicators [von Willebrand factor (vWF), thrombomodulin (TM), angiotensin (Ang) (1-9), Ang (1-7), prostacyclin I 2 (PGI2)]. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was gathered, and total protein concentration was determined using BCA method, and sICAM-1 levels were measured by ELISA. Lung tissues were collected and subjected to hematoxylin and eosin staining (HE staining) for the assessment of pathological lung injury and lung injury scoring. Western blot and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) were utilized to detect the relative expression levels of ACE2 protein and mRNA, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS 20.0 software. Intergroup comparisons were conducted using one-way analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference (LSD) test. Results:No statistically significant differences were observed in the levels of PAF, ET-1, sICAM-1, vWF, TM, Ang(1-9), Ang(1-7), and PGI2 in serum and lung tissues between the ACE2/CAP groups and the NC group (all P>0.05). Compared with the VILI group, the VILI+ACE2 and VILI+CAP groups exhibited significantly decreased serum and lung tissue levels of PAF, ET-1, sICAM-1, and vWF (all P<0.05), while the levels of TM, Ang(1-9), Ang(1-7), and PGI2 were significantly increased (all P<0.05). Pathological lung injury was alleviated, and the lung wet/dry weight ratio was significantly reduced (all P<0.05) in the VILI+ACE2 and VILI+CAP groups. Furthermore, both ACE2 protein and mRNA expression levels were significantly increased in these groups (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Both ACE2 and CAP can inhibit inflammation and protect the cardiovascular system, possibly by promoting the ACE2/Ang(1-9)/Ang(1-7) axis, thereby exerting a protective effect against VILI.

Immunometabolism studies focus on the relationships between immune cell functions and cellular energy metabolism pathways.Immunometabolism plays an important regulatory role in immune-related diseases.Mycobacterium tuberculosis(M.tb),an important intracellular pathogenic bacterium,enters alveolar macrophages after infection.The confrontation between M.tb and the host is a complex and dynamic process involving multiple aspects and mechanisms,such as the immune response,granuloma formation,and immune evasion.M.tb effector proteins play key roles in maintaining bacterial virulence and regulating host cell metabolism.This article reviews the reprogramming process of glucose metabolism,lipid metabolism,and immunometabolism,as well as changes in mi-tochondrial function in M.tb-infected host cells,thereby revealing the relationship between M.tb pathogenicity and host metabolic regu-lation,which is important for understanding tuberculosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of angiotensin receptor blocker(ARB)on the occurrence of acute kidney injury(AKI)after acute ischemic stroke.Methods From January 2022 to July 2023,patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized in the department of neurology of Nanjing First Hospital were enrolled.A 1∶1 propensity score matching method was adopted to evaluate the effect of ARB on the occurrence of AKI in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Results According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,919 patients were enrolled,among whom 182developed AKI,with an incidence rate of 19.8％.Compared with patients without AKI,those with AKI were older and had a higher proportion of hypertension,diabetes,coronary heart disease,and heart failure.They were ad-mitted with lower Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score and higher National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score.In terms of labo-ratory test data,patients with AKI had higher white blood cell counts,serum creatinine,and lower hemoglobin,albumin,low-density lipoprotein,and total cholesterol.Additionally,patients with AKI underwent a higher proportion of endovascular treatments,used diuret-ics,and received mannitol.After matching propensity score,patients using ARB had a lower incidence of AKI(17.1％vs 25.0％,P=0.044)and a lower mortality rate(1.2％vs 5.8％,P=0.014)than those without ARB.There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of renal replacement therapy,intensive care unit,and the length of hospital stay.Conclusion ARB may have a potential protective effect on the occurrence of AKI after acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To explore the changes of durability properties of reusable surgical gowns when used in dry and wet conditions.Methods Reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material were selected as test samples,and a Martindale abrasion and pilling tester was used as the basic test platform and modified to form fixtures suitable for the wet state environment.The reusable surgical gowns underwent abrasion experiments in wet and dry conditions to observe the changes in their fiber structure,and were subjected to water penetration resistance and swelling strength tests.Results Visually the reusable surgical gowns had few changes of the microscopic textile fiber structure in dry and wet conditions,and the gowns made of single-layer polyster fiber gained advantages over the outer layers of those of 3-layer composite material in abrasion resistance with the same friction cycles.In dry and wet conditions,the hydrostatic pressure values of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber gradually decreased with the increase of the degree of abrasion,which were always lower than those of the gowns of 3-layer composite material;the swelling strength of the gowns of single-layer polyster fiber was always greater than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material,which decreased with the deterioration of the wear more significantly than that of the gowns of 3-layer composite material.Conclusion The reusable surgical gowns made of single-layer polyester fiber or 3-layer composite material have few differences in durability and protective properties at the early stages of ablation in dry and wet conditions.The durability of the gowns decreases as the degree of wear increases,while the trend of the decrease is slowing down until the fabric breaks down and completely loses its barrier effect.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(6):28-33]

The purpose of this study was to establish a luciferase immunosorbent assay(LISA)using the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus(CCHFV)glycoprotein C(Gc),a specific antigen,for the detection of CCHFV IgG antibodies.Three antigenic fragments based on CCHFV glycoprotein C were designed,and three recombinant plasmids were constructed by liga-tion with the NanoLuc luciferase(NLuc)expression vector pNLF1-N through molecular cloning.The accuracy of the sequences in the recombinant plasmids was confirmed through sequencing.The recombinant plasmids were transfected into eukaryotic cells to obtain fusion proteins containing specific antigens and luciferase,and the expression of the fusion proteins was verified by western blotting,thereby facilitating the establishment of the CCHFV-LISA detection technique.The assay's sensitivity,specificity,and stability were evaluated and compared with those of a commercial CCHFV IgG antibody test kit.Three recom-binant antigen fragments of CCHFV Gc—NLuc-Gc-Full,NLuc-Gc-C1,and NLuc-Gc-C2—were expressed,with molecular weights of 80.1 kDa,62.8 kDa,and 53.9 kDa,respectively.The optimal fragment for CCHFV detection was NLuc-Gc-C2.The sensitivity of the CCHFV-LISA was 90.9％,and the specificity was 100％;the findings were highly concordant with those for the commercial CCHFV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit.Repeatability tests indicated no statistically significant differ-ences in inter-and intra-assay variability within the same batch.The LISA was highly specific,sensitive,and user-friendly in detecting IgG antibodies against the CCHFV.Therefore,this method may facilitate serological diagnosis and epidemiological studies in endemic regions,and provide essential technical support for disease surveillance and early warning.

Objective:To translate the Moyamoya Health Behavior Scale for Adolescent Patients into Chinese and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on the Brislin translation model, the scale was forward-translated, back-translated, cross-culturally adapted, and pretested to develop the Chinese version of the Moyamoya Health Behavior Scale for Adolescent Patients. A convenience sampling method was used to recruit 220 adolescent inpatients with moyamoya disease from the Department of Neurosurgery, Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, between January 2023 and December 2024. Reliability and validity analyses were conducted on the scale.Results:A total of 220 questionnaires were distributed, and 206 valid questionnaires were returned, yielding a valid response rate of 93.64%. The Chinese version of the scale comprised 12 items. The item-level content validity index ranged from 0.875 to 1.000, and the scale-level content validity index was 0.917. Exploratory factor analysis extracted three common factors: treatment implementation for moyamoya disease, health-promoting behaviors for moyamoya disease, and health coping behaviors for moyamoya disease, with a cumulative variance contribution of 69.741%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the overall model fit was acceptable. The Cronbach's α coefficient for the total scale was 0.872, with subscale Cronbach's α coefficients ranging from 0.810 to 0.871. The test-retest reliability coefficient for the total scale was 0.983, and the split-half reliability coefficient was 0.766.Conclusions:The Chinese version of the Moyamoya Health Behavior Scale for Adolescent Patients demonstrated good reliability and validity and can be used as an assessment tool for health behaviors in this patient population.
