OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of evolocumab combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of patients with borderline coronary heart disease （CHD）. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study， 342 hospitalized patients diagnosed with borderline CHD were enrolled in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanyang Medical College from August 2021 to June 2024， and divided into control group （treated with atorvastatin， 190 cases） and trial group （treated with evolocumab combined with atorvastatin， 152 cases） according to therapeutic regimen. Blood lipid indexes， high-sensitivity C-reactive protein （hs-CRP） and intravascular ultrasound of the coronary artery at baseline and after 1 year of treatment， and incidence of cardiovascular adverse events were compared after propensity score matching. RESULTS A total of 295 patients （158 in control group and 137 in trial group） were finally included in the analysis. One year after the treatment， compared with control group， total cholesterol， triglycerides， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hs-CRP levels were decreased significantly in trial group （ P ＜0.05）， whereas high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was increased significantly （ P ＜0.05）. The lumen diameter， lumen area， and the minimum lumen area were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）， while plaque area and plaque burden were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.05）. Overall incidence of adverse events in trial group was significantly lower than that in control group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Evolocumab combined with atorvastatin can significantly improve coronary luminal narrowing and reduce plaque burden， as well as reduce the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in patients with borderline CHD.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of shoulder work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among occupational population in China, and to explore their intrinsic association with personal and work-related factors.Methods:In April 2024, 73497 valid questionnaires of the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire were retrospectively analyzed from June 2018 to December 2023 in 22 provinces and 29 key industries in China, and the general information, occurrence of WMSDs and related risk factors of key occupational populations in different regions in China were collected. By using Chi-square test and confirmatory factor analysis, the relationship between shoulder fatigue and pain in key occupational groups and individual factors, work type, work posture and work organization was discussed, and the internal relationship was analyzed based on structural equation model.Results:Higher incidence of shoulder fatigue and pain were associated with female, lack of physical exercise, uncomfortable working posture and neck leaning forward ( P<0.05). Structural equation model analysis showed that work type, work posture and work organization were strongly correlated ( r=0.58, 0.55). Work organization and work type were strongly correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.65) and moderately correlated with shoulder fatigue ( r=0.21). Shoulder fatigue was moderately associated with shoulder pain ( r=0.40). Individual factors, work type, work posture and shoulder fatigue could directly affect shoulder pain ( OR=0.07, -0.09, 0.17 and 0.40), and work type and work posture could also indirectly affect shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.08, 0.03). Work organization only indirectly affected shoulder pain through shoulder fatigue ( OR=0.26) . Conclusion:The main influencing factor of shoulder pain is shoulder fatigue, followed by work posture and individual factors. Structural equation model can better reflect the complex relationship between work type, work posture and work organization and shoulder WMSDs. Improving work posture and work organization may be an effective way to control the influence of shoulder fatigue on shoulder pain.

Objective:To explore the structural relationship between WMSDs in the upper limbs and various risk factors in the occupational population in China, based on a large sample epidemiological survey and structural equation analysis, and to establish a structural equation model, so as to lay a foundation for the prevention and control of such diseases.Methods:The Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Electronic Questionnaire was used to conduct a nationwide survey on the prevalence of WMSDs in the upper extremity. Six factors related to WMSDs in the upper extremity were extracted by the classification standard of adverse ergonomic factors and their source and confirmatory factor analysis, including work organization, work type, upper extremity work posture, individual factors, upper extremity fatigue and upper extremity WMSDs. The structural equation analysis was carried out and the structural equation model was established.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in the upper limbs was 24.44% and 43.76%, respectively. The adjusted structural equation model fitting indicators were generally up to the standard (GFI=1.000, AGFI=1.000, RMSEA=0.043, NFI=0.808, TLI=0.784) . The four exogenous latent variables of work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and individual factors were correlated. There was a strong positive correlation between job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.865) , a moderate positive correlation between work organization and job type and upper limb work posture ( r=0.570, 0.490) , and a weak negative correlation between individual factors and the other three exogenous latent variables. Upper limb work posture and individual factors had direct effects on upper limb WMSDs, and the effect coefficients were 0.10 and 0.06, respectively. Upper limb fatigue played a mediating role between work organization, work type, upper limb work posture and upper limb WMSDs. The effect coefficient was 0.46, and the composition ratios of indirect effects were 100.0%, 100.0%, and 38.3%, respectively. The direct path effect of upper limb work posture, individual factors and upper limb WMSDs was weaker than the mediating path through upper limb fatigue. Conclusion:When carrying out the prevention and control of upper limbWMSDs, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the pathogenesis path of upper limb muscle fatigue and upper limb WMSDs caused by work organization, work type, and upper limb work posture, so as to provide theoretical reference for improving the prevention and control level of such diseases.

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 analyze the distribution characteristics of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among the occupational population in China's key industries during the period from 2018 to 2023, and to provide data support for the formulation of targeted prevention strategies.Methods:Between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2023, a cross-sectional epidemiological survey and a retrospective investigation were conducted in seven geographical regions of North China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China, and Northeast China, using a combination of epidemiological cross-sectional and retrospective surveys. The industries were stratified according to the degree of closeness to WMSDs, the size of the occupational population, and the importance of the national economy, and then cluster sampling was conducted according to the size of the enterprises (large, medium, and small) within each stratum. Representative enterprises were selected, and workers who had been employed for more than one year and met the inclusion criteria were selected as the study subjects. The survey subjects completed the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Survey Questionnaire online by scanning a QR code. A total of 88, 609 valid questionnaires were collected. Continuous data were described by means and standard deviations, and the standardized incidence rates of WMSDs were evaluated using chi-square tests to compare the standardized incidence rates of different body parts.Results:The standardized prevalence rate of WMSDs among the frontline working population in China was 36.7%, with the top three being the neck (21.37%), shoulders (18.23%), and lower back (14.92%). There was a statistically significant difference in the standardized prevalence rate of WMSDs between different body parts (χ 2=47577.82, P<0.05). The lowest standardized prevalence rate of WMSDs was found in the southeast coastal region of China (32.54%), while the highest was in the northwest (49.70%) and northeast regions (46.16%). The standardized prevalence rate of WMSDs decreased from 42.88% in 2018 to 29.94% in 2023. The micro-enterprise observation group had a higher concentration of WMSDs in the neck (20.66%), lower back (17.95%), and shoulders (17.79%), while the large enterprise observation group had a higher concentration in the neck (20.54%), shoulders (17.52%), and lower back (14.65%). Among the industries surveyed, the highest standardized prevalence rate of WMSDs was found in the healthcare industry (53.18%), followed by the toy manufacturing industry (50.54%), the automotive manufacturing industry (43.39%), general aviation services (42.71%), and the ship and related equipment manufacturing industry (40.56%). The standardized prevalence rate of WMSDs among women was significantly higher than that of men ( OR value=1.44, P<0.05). In addition, the standardized prevalence rate of WMSDs with multiple affected body parts (four or more body parts affected simultaneously) was higher, and the risk of WMSDs increased with subjective fatigue, showing a significant "S-shaped" trend (the OR value was 2.19, 3.16, 4.71, 5.49, and 3.97 when the RPE was 13, 15, 17, 19, and 20, respectively. χ 2trend=17.23, P<0.001) . Conclusion:The distribution characteristics of WMSDs in key industries in China show obvious differences in different parts, regions, time, enterprise scale, industry and population attributes. Agriculture, pharmaceutical manufacturing, packaging and decoration and other printing industries have a high proportion of WMSDs in multiple parts at the same time and in a single site. It is necessary to study and implement precise preventive measures according to specific regions, industries and enterprise scales, as well as the characteristics of multi-site WMSDs, so as to effectively protect the health and well-being of the working population.

Objective:To investigate the relationships and impacts between various occupational ergonomic hazards and hand and wrist fatigue, as well as work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of the hand and wrist, and to propose targeted preventive and intervention measures for adverse occupational ergonomic factors causing WMSDs of the hand and wrist.Methods:From 2018 to December 2023, a nationwide epidemiologic survey study of wrist WMSDs was conducted using the Chinese version of the electronic questionnaire system for musculoskeletal disorders.A total of 88, 609 valid questionnaires were collected. The exclusion criteria were as follows: patients with congenital spinal deformities, as well as those with wrist WMSDs caused by external injuries, infectious diseases, and malignant tumors. A total of 73, 497 questionnaires were finally included in the study analysis, with an effective questionnaire return rate of 82.5%. Exploratory factor analysis was used to analyze and summarize the factors affecting wrist WMSDs from the questionnaires, including individual factors, work organization, work type, wrist work posture, wrist fatigue, and wrist WMSDs as latent variables, and to hypothesize, fit, and validate the structural aspect model, as well as to conduct mediation effect analysis.Results:The incidence of WMSDs and fatigue in wrist was 12.19% and 16.30% respectively. The fitting indexes of the modified structural equation model were basically up to the standard (GFI was 0.981, AGFI was 0.973, RMSEA was 0.031, NFI was 0.863, IFI and CFI were 0.865). There is a correlation between individual factors, work organization, wrist working posture and work type. There was a low negative correlation between individual factors and other factors, and there was a positive correlation between work organization, work type and wrist WMSDs ( r=0.346, 0.295), and these two factors were positively correlated with wrist fatigue height ( r=0.862, 0.599), and were positively correlated with wrist working posture ( r=0.443, 0.620). There was moderate positive correlation between wrist working posture and wrist fatigue ( r=0.469). The three most influential factors on wrist WMSDs were work organization, individual factor and work type, and the path coefficients were 0.247, 0.210 and 0.136, respectively. The first two factors that have the greatest influence on wrist fatigue are work organization and work type, and the path coefficients are 0.758 and 0.188, respectively. Individual factors, work type, wrist working posture and work organization had direct effects on wrist WMSDs, and the effect values were 0.093, 0.253, 0.718 and 0.583, respectively. Wrist fatigue played a partial mediating role between individual factors, work type, wrist working posture and work organization and wrist WMSDs, with the indirect effect ratio of 25.6%, 45.8%, 3.2% and 65.5%. Conclusion:Wrist fatigue plays an important mediating role in the path of various factors affecting wrist WMSDs, especially in the path of work organization, work type, individual factors and wrist WMSDs. Poor wrist working posture is an important risk factor that directly affects the occurrence of wrist WMSDs.
