Obesity, as a chronic recurrent disease, has become a major public health challenge in China. To implement the requirements of the Healthy China Initiative (2019—2030), under domestic guidelines or consensus statements on overweight and obesity, and in alignment with the latest scientific advances globally, the Quality control protocol for adult overweight and obesity screening in health management (examination) institutions (2025 edition) was developed. This protocol was drafted by the Health Management Center of Shanghai Changzheng Hospital and formulated through multiple rounds of deliberation by experts in China’s health examination quality control field. The protocol establishes unified standards for screening facilities, personnel qualifications, and measurement or testing procedures. It defines specific screening items, outlines a standardized screening pathway, and sets requirements for the final medical review, ensuring the scientific validity, effectiveness, and safety of the screening process. The implementation of this protocol will enhance the consistency of weight management practices for adults across health examination institutions and strengthen the quality control of overweight and obesity screening programs.

Long-term hypertension causes excessive vascular remodeling and leads to adverse cardiovascular events. Balance of ubiquitination and deubiquitination has been linked to several chronic conditions, including pathological vascular remodeling. In this study, we discovered that the expression of ubiquitin-specific protease 25 (USP25) is significantly up-regulated in angiotensin II (Ang II)-challenged mouse aorta. Knockout of Usp25 augments Ang II-induced vascular injury such as fibrosis and endothelial to mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Mechanistically, we found that USP25 interacts directly with Forkhead box O3 (FOXO3) and removes the K63-linked ubiquitin chain on the K258 site of FOXO3. We also showed that this USP25-mediated deubiquitination of FOXO3 increases its binding to light chain 3 beta isoform and autophagosomic-lysosomal degradation of FOXO3. In addition, we further validated the biological function of USP25 by overexpressing USP25 in the mouse aorta with AAV9 vectors. Our studies identified FOXO3 as a new substrate of USP25 and showed that USP25 may be a potential therapeutic target for excessive vascular remodeling-associated diseases.

IL-32 is a multifunctional cytokine with both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory properties.It has been proved that expression of IL-32 increases with progression of gastric mucosal diseases and severity of gastric cancer(GC),thus participating in process of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation.However,how IL-32 affects malignant transformation of gastric"inflamma-tion-cancer"and finally leads to adverse outcome of GC invasion and migration is still controversial.In order to better clarify regulatory effect and possible mechanism of abnormal expression of IL-32 on different histopathological stages of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation,and to explore new directions and breakthroughs in molecular mechanism of early truncation and treatment of gastric precancerous lesion(GPL),we searched literatures related to IL-32 in six authoritative databases at home and abroad,such as Pubmed,Web of Science and CNKI,in past 30 years.It was found that pathogenicity or protective function of IL-32 in different histo-pathological stages of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation depended on its different subtypes,secretory forms,surrounding cytokine environment,disease status and genetic factors.IL-32 may regulate polarization of macrophages through NF-κB,MAPK,COX2,PR3,IDO,NOD,PKCδ,FAK and STAT3,amplify or inhibit chronic inflammatory stimulation of gastric mucosa,and thus participate in process of gastric"inflammation-cancer"transformation.Our new understanding of role of IL-32 in different stages of Cor-rea cascade may contribute to development of cytokine-directed therapy,and therapy aimed at regulating different alternative splicing subtypes of IL-32 and targeting IL-32 signals can be used as a new strategy for medical treatment of GPL and GC in future.

Recent advances in vital pulp therapy(VPT)research,coupled with the widespread use of biomaterials,have led to an in-crease in the application of VPT.The indications for VPT are continually expanding,particularly for fully developed permanent teeth.Currently,one-way membrane decompression is being investigated as a possible treatment to preserve vital pulp in cases of irreversible pulpitis.This technology involves creating an access point in the pulp cavity and using the one-way membrane to prevent microorganisms from invading the pulp tissue.Additionally,it helps alleviate the high pressure in the pulp cavity caused by inflammation,thereby en-hancing blood circulation within the pulp.This improvement is crucial for establishing a foundation for future vital pulp preservation treatments.A case of irreversible pulpitis caused by caries was reported,in which the dental pulp was preserved using the one-way membrane decompression.The results of a ten-month clinical follow-up indicate a positive outcome.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of direct resin filling restoration,improved atraumatic restorative treatment(ART),and Hall technique in treating deciduous molars in children.Methods A total of 120 children with 180 deciduous molars who came to the Department of Oral Surgery of our hospital from January 2023 to August 2023 were selected and randomly divided into three groups:direct resin filling restoration group(40 people,60 teeth),improved ataumatic restorative treatment group(40 people,62 teeth),and Hall technique group(40 people,58 teeth).The behavioral performance classification and degree of anxiety of the children during the treatment process and the treatment time were compared among the three groups.The clinical efficacy after 3 months,6 months,and 12 months of treatment was compared and the reasons for failure were analyzed.Results The treatment time of the Hall technique group was significantly shorter than that of the improved ART group and direct filling group,and the differences in treatment time of the three groups had statistical significance(P＜0.05).The Hall technique and improved ART technique were more easily accepted by the chil-dren,and the degree of anxiety and behavioral performance classification of the three groups had statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).At the 12-month follow-up,the success rate of the direct filling restoration group was significantly different from that of the im-proved ART technique group and the Hall technique group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).However,the suc-cess rate of the improved ART technique group was not significantly different from that of the Hall technique group(P＞0.05).Conclu-sion The success rate of the improved ART technique group and the Hall technique group is higher than that of the direct filling resto-ration group,and is more easily accepted by children.The pain level and degree of anxiety are lighter,and the treatment time of the Hall technique is shorter,which is more conducive to the repair of tooth decay.

To prepare monoclonal antibody to the N protein of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV),BALB/c mice were immunized with the purified N protein of the PRRSV-2 strain expressed by prokaryotic expression system.Mouse splenocytes were fused with myeloma cells using hybridoma technique,hybridoma cells were identified by indirect ELISA method and indirect immunofluorescence assay(IFA),and positive hybridoma cells were screened for subclones using the limited dilution method.The results showed that a monoclonal antibody cell line 4A7 was successfully obtained,and the results of Western blot and IFA indicated that the monoclonal antibody could accurately recognize the N proteins of type 1 and type 2 PRRSV.Mean-while,the N protein gene was truncated and expressed by prokaryotic expression system,and the amino acid sequence of the B-cell antigenic epitope recognized by 4A7 was screened as 51EKPHF55 using Western blot.Comparison of epitope amino acids in the N protein gene sequences of different strains revealed that the antigenic epitope 51EKPHF55 recognized by the monoclonal antibody 4A7 has no amino acid difference in the sequences of three subtypes among the PRRSV-1 strains and nine lineages among the PRRSV-2 strains,indicating a high degree of conservation.The results of the study provide a foundation the development of PRRSV diagnostic kits and novel vaccines.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of " two-stitch" fashion in laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) for patients with fine pancreatic duct (<3 mm).Methods:Clinical data of 32 patients with pancreatic duct diameter <3 mm undergoing laparoscopic PJ using the " two-stitch" fashion between Apr 2021 and Jun 2024 were retrospectively analyzed, including 20 males and 12 females, aged (61.2±23.7) years. Among the patients, there were 23 (71.9%) patients of periampullary tumor and 9 (28.1%) of central pancreatic tumor. 23 (71.9%) patients underwent laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) and nine (28.1%) underwent laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP). All patients underwent the " two-stitch" fashion of laparoscopic PJ (one stitch each on the ventral and dorsal sides of pancreas for duct-to-mucosal anastomosis). The operation time, PJ time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications (pancreatic fistula, gallbladder leakage, abdominal cavity infection, etc) and mortality were recorded.Result:All patients underwent the " two stitch" laparoscopic PJ successfully, 23(71.9%) patients underwent laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) and nine (28.1%) underwent laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP). The operation time was (279.3±115.8) min, the PJ time was (31.9±12.2) min, and the postoperative hospital stay was (13.4±8.3) d. Grade B pancreatic fistula occurred in six cases (18.8%, four of LPD and two of LCP), delayed gastric emptying in one case of LPD (3.1%), abdominal infection in three cases (9.4%, two of LPD and one of LCP), biliary fistula in two cases (6.3%, LPD). There were no grade C pancreatic fistula. All patients with postoperative complications were managed with conservative treatment.Conclusion:Laparoscopic " two stitch" PJ for patients with fine pancreatic duct (<3 mm) is safe and feasible.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of ultra-low dose (ULD) CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) combined with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE).Methods:This cross-sectional study prospectively enrolled 100 patients with suspected PE who underwent CTPA examination in Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University, and Shanghai Geriatric Medical Center from April to July 2024, and were randomly divided into the routine dose (RD) group and ULD group according to block randomization. Effective dose (ED) were calculated. The noise index of RD group and ULD group was set to 10 and 20, respectively. Other scanning parameters and contrast agent injection protocol were the same. The CT images of RD group were reconstructed using hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR), while ULD images were reconstructed with HIR and DLR (ULD-HIR subgroup and ULD-DLR subgroup). The image quality of the three groups of images was subjectively evaluated (overall image noise, pulmonary artery display) and objectively evaluated [signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the images] respectively. Finally, the diagnostic results of PE by the expert committee composed of three chief physicians were taken as the gold standard, and one physician with lower qualifications independently evaluated the diagnostic rate of PE in the three groups of images. Objective image quality parameters across the three groups were compared using ANOVA, with LSD post hoc test was used for multiple comparisons. Subjective scores among the three groups were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test, with Bonferroni corrected pairwise post hoc test was applied for multiple pairwise comparisons. Results:The ED in the RD group and ULD group were (2.7±0.5) mSv and (0.7±0.2) mSv, respectively, and the differences were statistically significant ( t=26.42, P<0.001). The overall differences in CT values of pulmonary arteries at all levels in the images of the RD group, the ULD-HIR subgroup, and the ULD-DLR subgroup were not statistically significant ( P>0.05).The RD group, ULD-HIR subgroup and ULD-DLR subgroup overall differences in SNR and CNR at all levels pulmonary arteries were statistically significant ( P<0.001), in which except for the differences in CNR and SNR values of the left pulmonary arterial trunk in the RD group and the ULD-HIR subgroup, and SNR values of basal segment pulmonary artery of the lower lobe of the left lung, which were not statistically significant ( P>0.05), the differences of the rest of the indexes in the pairwise comparisons between the groups were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The overall differences in the subjective scores of image pulmonary vascular display and image noise in the RD group, ULD-HIR subgroup and ULD-DLR subgroup were statistically significant ( P<0.001), except that the differences in the subjective scores of image pulmonary vascular display in the ULD-DLR subgroup were not statistically significant when compared with that of the RD group ( P>0.05) and that of the rest of the metrics in the between-groups two-by-two comparisons were all statistically significant ( P<0.05). The difference in diagnostic rates of PE in the pulmonary artery trunk, lobe and segmental levels in the images of the RD group, ULD-HIR subgroup and ULD-DLR subgroup was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). Conclusions:DLR can significantly reduce the radiation dose of CTPA examination. Even at ultra-low radiation dose, its image quality is still better than HIR reconstruction at conventional doses and preserve diagnostic accuracy of PE at the lobe level and segment level.
