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.

PURPOSE: To investigate the protective effect of sub-hypothermic mechanical perfusion combined with membrane lung oxygenation on ischemic hypoxic injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss. METHODS: This article performed a random controlled trial. Brain tissue of 7 yorkshire was selected and divided into the sub-low temperature anterograde machine perfusion group (n = 4) and the blank control group (n = 3) using the random number table method. A yorkshire model of brain tissue injury induced by traumatic blood loss was established. Firstly, the perfusion temperature and blood oxygen saturation were monitored in real-time during the perfusion process. The number of red blood cells, hemoglobin content, NA⁺, K⁺, and Ca²⁺ ions concentrations and pH of the perfusate were detected. Following perfusion, we specifically examined the parietal lobe to assess its water content. The prefrontal cortex and hippocampus were then dissected for histological evaluation, allowing us to investigate potential regional differences in tissue injury. The blank control group was sampled directly before perfusion. All statistical analyses and graphs were performed using GraphPad Prism 8.0 Student t-test. All tests were two-sided, and p value of less than 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. RESULTS: The contents of red blood cells and hemoglobin during perfusion were maintained at normal levels but more red blood cells were destroyed 3 h after the perfusion. The blood oxygen saturation of the perfusion group was maintained at 95% - 98%. NA⁺ and K⁺ concentrations were normal most of the time during perfusion but increased significantly at about 4 h. The Ca²⁺ concentration remained within the normal range at each period. Glucose levels were slightly higher than the baseline level. The pH of the perfusion solution was slightly lower at the beginning of perfusion, and then gradually increased to the normal level. The water content of brain tissue in the sub-low and docile perfusion group was 78.95% ± 0.39%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (75.27% ± 0.55%, t = 10.49, p < 0.001), and the difference was statistically significant. Compared with the blank control group, the structure and morphology of pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex and CA1 region of the hippocampal gyrus were similar, and their integrity was better. The structural integrity of granulosa neurons was destroyed and cell edema increased in the perfusion group compared with the blank control group. Immunofluorescence staining for glail fibrillary acidic protein and Iba1, markers of glial cells, revealed well-preserved cell structures in the perfusion group. While there were indications of abnormal cellular activity, the analysis showed no significant difference in axon thickness or integrity compared to the 1-h blank control group. CONCLUSIONS Mild hypothermic machine perfusion can improve ischemia and hypoxia injury of yorkshire brain tissue caused by traumatic blood loss and delay the necrosis and apoptosis of yorkshire brain tissue by continuous oxygen supply, maintaining ion homeostasis and reducing tissue metabolism level.

The number of type 2 diabetes(T2DM)accounts for more than 90％of all Diabetes mellitus(DM).The decrease of islet β cell mass and dysfunction are the core links of T2DM.With the prolongation of the course of disease,the number and function of β cells are gradually attenuated,and the damage mechanism has not been elucidated.At present,it is believed that it is closely related to metabolic stress,abnormal regulation of insulin secretion,changes in islet microenvironment,mitochondrial damage,glycolipid toxicity and dedifferentiation of islet β cells.Therefore,the mechanism of islet β cell damage in T2DM is summarized and elaborated in order to provide some reference for the precise intervention of T2DM.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)has become one of the effective methods for treating patients with aortic valve disease.With the continuous maturity of technology,innovation of instruments and increasing experience,the indications for TAVR has been expanded.Following international trends,the number of TAVR in China has steadily increased with each passing year.In 2023,the long-term follow-up results of TAVR in low-risk AS patients further confirm the long-term benefits of TAVR.The relevant research on TAVR for patients with aortic regurgitation and patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis provide evidence support for the expansion of TAVR indications.At the same time,the development of valve devices and new technological innovations are emerging in an endless stream,and the new concept of full life cycle management is increasingly being valued.Especially in China,the development of local devices is progressing rapidly,and multiple devices have entered the clinical research stage.The clinical manifestations and research results are worth pursuing.

Knowledge about the neuronal dynamics and the projectome are both essential for understanding how the neuronal network functions in concert. However, it remains challenging to obtain the neural activity and the brain-wide projectome for the same neurons, especially for neurons in subcortical brain regions. Here, by combining in vivo microscopy and high-definition fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography, we have developed strategies for mapping the brain-wide projectome of functionally relevant neurons in the somatosensory cortex, the dorsal hippocampus, and the substantia nigra pars compacta. More importantly, we also developed a strategy to achieve acquiring the neural dynamic and brain-wide projectome of the molecularly defined neuronal subtype. The strategies developed in this study solved the essential problem of linking brain-wide projectome to neuronal dynamics for neurons in subcortical structures and provided valuable approaches for understanding how the brain is functionally organized via intricate connectivity patterns.

Objective:To investigate the effect of selenium on cyclophosphamide(CTX)-induced spermatogenic impairment(SI)in mice and its underlying mechanism.Methods:We equally randomized 36 male KM mice into 3 SI model and 3 control groups,the first 3 treated by intraperitoneal injection of CTX at 100 mg/kg(the SI model control group),CTX plus SI model control group,selenium deficient model group(-Se SI),selenium supplemented model group(+Se SI),while latter 3 by intraperitoneal injection of normal saline(the normal control),selenium deficiency control group(-Se control),selenium addition control group(+Se control),respectively,all once a week for 6 successive weeks.Then we observed the histopathological changes in the testes of all the mice by HE staining,obtained the sperm count in the epididymides,determined the expressions of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPx4)and SLC7A11 proteins by Western blot and ferroptosis-related genes by RT-qPCR,and examined the changes in the expres-sions of ferroptosis-related proteins and genes in the GC2-spd cells treated with ferroptosis inhibitors and inducers in combination with different concentrations of inorganic sodium selenite(SeS)and organic selenomethionine(SeM).Results:Compared with the nor-mal controls,the SI model mice showed significantly decreased testicular and prostatic organ coefficients,reduced spermatogenic lay-ers,increased voids,decreased serum ferritin concentration(P<0.05),and elevated transferrin concentration(P<0.05).The or-gan coefficients were significantly higher in the+Se SI and+Se control than in the-Se SI and-Se control groups(P<0.05,P<0.01),with evident pathological improvement of the testis tissue in the+Se controls.The expressions of the GPx4 and solute carrier family 7 members 11(SLC7A11)genes in the testis were dramatically down-regulated in the SI model controls(P<0.01),but up-reg-ulated in the+Se SI and+Se control compared with those in the-Se SI and-Se control group(P<0.01 and P<0.05),but there were no statistically significant differences between their protein expressions.The results of in vitro GC2 spd cell experiments indicated that the GPx4 gene and GPx4 protein levels in the-Se group were significantly lower than those in the normal control group(P<0.05),while the SLC7A11 gene level decreased(P<0.01).Different doses of SeS and SeM significantly increased the GPx4 protein expression compared to the average Se group.Low doses of SeM promoted a significant increase in GPx4 gene levels,while high doses of SeS increased the expression levels of SLC7A11 gene and SLC7A11 protein(P<0.05,P<0.01).The Se group showed a signifi-cant decrease in the levels of acsl4 and ptgs2 genes compared to the normal control group.SeM promoted the expression of acsl4,while SeS promoted the expression of ptgs2 and fth1(P<0.01,P<0.05).The intervention results of GC2 spd showed that the Erastin group had a decrease in ptgs2 compared to the normal control group,while the SeS+Erastin and SeM+Erastin groups had an increase in ptgs2 gene expression compared to the Erastin group.However,the ptgs2 expression of Fer-1 was lower than that of the normal con-trol group,and the ptgs2 gene level of SeS+Fer-1 and SeM+Fer-1 groups was lower than that of Fer-1 group(P<0.05);The gene quantity of GPx4 in the SeM+Erastin and SeM+Fer-1 groups increased compared to the Erastin and Fer-1 groups(P<0.01,P<0.05);SeM+Erastin and SeS+Erastin showed a decrease in SLC7A11 compared to the Erastin group,as well as SeM+Fer-1 and SeS+Fer-1 groups compared to the Fer-1 group,accompanied by an increase in acsl4 and fth1(P<0.01).Conclusion:Selenium deficiency causes the reduction of the SLC7A11 and GPx4 gene levels,disorder of ferroptosis-related genes and down-regulation of the GPx4 protein expression in the mouse testis and spermatocytes.Selenium can promote the expression of GPx4,up-regulate the level of SLC7A11,and improve spermatogenesis in the testis of the mouse with SI.There are differences between organic SeM and inorganic SeS in regulating the ferroptosis pathway-related genes.

Objective:To explore the correlation of early urinary continence(UC)after laparoscopic radical prostatectomy(LRP)with relevant preoperative MRI parameters of the urinary tract structure and provide some theoretical evidence for screening the high-risk population with postoperative urinary incontinence.Methods:This study included 49 PCa patients aged 50-78 years trea-ted by LRP in Beijing Tongren Hospital from January 2015 to February 2021,and all followed up for 12 months.We collected the com-plete baseline data on the patients,the clinical data possibly related to early postoperative UC,the MRI anatomical parameters associat-ed with UC,and the data on the recovery of early postoperative UC.We recorded the number of urinary pads used,submitted the data obtained to SPSS 23.0 statistical analysis,and identified the possible relevant factors by univariate correlation analysis,followed by R40.3 or SPSS 23.0 multivariate logistic regression analysis of the included factors and the results of UC.Results:MRI images mani-fested that the prostate anteroposterior diameter averaged(4.0±1.11)cm,the transverse diameter(4.6±0.83)cm,the cephalo-caudal diameter 2.4-6.4 cm,the membranous urethral length(MUL)(13.16±3.52)mm,and the thickness of the urethral rhab-dosphincter(URS)1.08-4.37 mm.Multivariate analysis showed that age was significantly correlated with the recovery of UC at 1 month after LRP(P=0.035,OR=0.16),and so was the URS thickness at 3 months(P=0.011,OR=0.02),9 months(P=0.014,OR=0.039)and 12 months(P=0.014,OR=0.039).Urinary incontinence with the URS thickness ≤1.6 mm at 12 months after operation was found of a high severity(P=0.010,OR[95％CI]=0.858-6.240).The MUL was positively correla-ted with the recovery of UC at 9 months(P=0.024,OR=0.508)and 12 months(P=0.024,OR=0.508)postoperatively.Correlation analysis revealed that the prostate volume,prostate diameter and other factors included in this study were not significantly correlated to postoperative UC.Conclusion:The thickness of the URS is positively correlated with the recovery of early UC,the thinner the URS,the severer the UC,and so is MUL.Age is an independent risk factor for the recovery of UC at 1 month after LRP.These findings need to be further verified by more prospective studies with long-term follow-ups.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions induced by subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in patients undergoing SCIT injections in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). Methods: This is a single center retrospective cohort study. Using the outpatient information system of PUMCH, the demographic information and injection-related reaction data of patients undergoing SCIT injection in Allergy Department of PUMCH from December 2018 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed to count the incidence and risk factors of systemic allergic reactions caused by SCIT. Mann-Whitney nonparametric test or chi-square test was used for single-factor analysis, and multiple logistic regression was used for multiple-factor analysis. Results: A total of 2 897 patients received 18 070 SCIT injections in Allergy Department during the four years, and 40 systemic allergic reactions occurred, with the overall incidence rate of 0.22%. The incidence of systemic allergic reaction was 0.37% when using imported dust mite preparation and 0.15% when using domestic multi-component allergen preparation. The risk factors significantly related with SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using imported dust mite preparation were age less than 18 years old (OR=3.186,95%CI: 1.255-8.085), highest injection concentration (OR value could not be calculated because all patients with systemic reactions were injected with highest concentration), and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=22.264,95%CI: 8.205-60.411). The risk factors for SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions in patients using domestic allergen preparation were 5 or more types of allergens (OR=3.455,95%CI: 1.147-10.402), highest injection concentration (OR=3.794,95%CI: 1.226-11.740) and large local reaction in previous injection (OR=63.577,95%CI: 22.248-181.683). However, SCIT injection in pollen allergic patients during the pollen season did not show a correlation with systemic allergic reaction. Conclusion: The incidence of SCIT-induced systemic allergic reactions was low in the Chinese patient population of this study. Patients with one or more risk factors, such as multiple allergen injection, highest injection concentration, large local reaction in previous injection, should be given high attention and vigilance against systemic allergic reactions.
