ObjectiveTo investigate the association between serum fasting triglyceride glucose-body mass index （TyG-BMI） and new-onset metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） within 10 years. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the data of individuals who underwent physical examination in The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Southwest Medical University in 2013， 2018， and 2023 and were not diagnosed with MAFLD in 2013， and a total of 1 340 valid subjects were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The gbmt package in R 4.3.0 was used to construct the dynamic change trajectory model of TyG-BMI， and four different TyG-BMI trajectory groups were determined， i.e.， the low-level group （n=352）， the medium-level group （n=517）， the high-level group （n=314）， and the extremely high-level group （n=157）. The data on general information and blood biochemical parameters were collected from all subjects and were then compared between groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups， and the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data with heterogeneity of variance between multiple groups. The Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the association between different TyG-BMI trajectories and the risk of MAFLD， and the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve was used to assess the value of TyG-BMI in the diagnosis of MAFLD. ResultsThe cumulative incidence rate of MAFLD increased with the increase in the level of TyG-BMI trajectory， with a cumulative incidence rate of 4.83% in the low-level group， 29.98% in the medium-level group， 61.15% in the high-level group， and 83.44% in the extremely high-level group （P<0.001）， and the cumulative incidence rate of MAFLD in men was significantly higher than that in women （51.34% vs 20.67%， P<0.001）. The multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that increases in the levels of TyG-BMI trajectory， uric acid， diastolic blood pressure， hemoglobin， and alanine aminotransferase were independent risk factors for the onset of MAFLD （all P<0.05）， while the increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was an independent protective factor against MAFLD （P<0.001）. After adjustment for confounding factors， the medium-， high-， and extremely high-level groups had a hazard ratio of 4.430 （95% confidence interval ［CI］： 2.660 — 7.377， P<0.001）， 6.937 （95%CI： 4.110 — 11.708， P<0.001）， and 7.989 （95%CI： 4.616 — 13.827， P<0.001）， respectively. The ROC curve analysis showed that TyG-BMI had the highest diagnostic value， with an area under the ROC curve of 0.859 （95%CI： 0.840 — 0.879）， a sensitivity of 79.8%， and a specificity of 76.3%. ConclusionThe risk of MAFLD increases with the increase in the level of TyG-BMI trajectory， and TyG-BMI can be used as a predictive indicator for MAFLD.

Objective To investigate the activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in drinking water (tap water and well water) in urban and rural areas of Hohhot, assess the safety of drinking water, and to provide data support for local drinking water radioactivity monitoring and management. Methods Representative samples of well water and tap water were collected from nine banners/counties/districts in Hohhot. Activity concentrations were measured using a low-background gross α/β counter, an α spectrometer, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, and a radium/radon analyzer. Results A total of nine tap water samples and nine well water samples were analyzed. For the tap water samples, gross α activity concentrations ranged from 0.093 to 0.193 Bq/L, gross β from 0.091 to 0.225 Bq/L, uranium mass concentrations from 2.32 to 10.36 μg/L, thorium mass concentrations from 0.09 to 0.20 μg/L,²¹⁰Po activity concentrations from below the minimum detectable limit to 0.41 mBq/L, and ²²⁶Ra activity concentrations from 8.70 to 13.35 mBq/L. For the well water samples, gross α activity concentrations ranged from 0.111 to 0.203 Bq/L, gross β from 0.111 to 0.270 Bq/L, uranium mass concentrations from 2.31 to 13.28 μg/L, thorium mass concentrations from 0.17 to 0.26 μg/L,²¹⁰Po activity concentrations from 1.03 to 2.12 mBq/L, and ²²⁶Ra activity concentrations from 15.38 to 23.63 mBq/L. Conclusion The activity concentrations of natural radionuclides in both well water and tap water in the Hohhot region were at environmental background levels and met national drinking water hygiene standards.

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 whether successful percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)could improve symptoms and quality of life(QOL)in left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients with diabetes.Methods Patients with left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease who underwent PCI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from April 2018 to May 2021 were consecutively enrolled and subdivided into 2 groups:diabetes and no diabetes.Detailed baseline characteristics,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,assessed with the Rose dyspnea scale(RDS),Seattle angina questionnaire(SAQ),the European quality of life-5 dimensions(EQ-5D)and 12-item short-form health survey(SF-12)questionnaire respectively,procedural details,and 1 month and 1 year follow-up data were collected.Results Among 440 left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients,disease was present in 176(40.00％),who had more hypertension,peripheral artery disease,and LCX lesion(all P＜0.05).The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)and all-cause mortality were similar between the two groups(both P＞0.05)at 1 month follow-up,while all-cause mortality in diabetes patients was significantly higher than those without diabetes at 1 year follow-up(P=0.013).Low left ventricular ejection fraction was an independent risk factor for MACE and all-cause mortality at 1 month and 1 year follow-up after successful revascularization(all P＜0.05).Most importantly,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,and QOL were markedly improved regardless of diabetes both at 1 month and 1 year follow-up(all P＜0.05).Diabetes patients showed improved dyspnea and QOL at similar degree to the non-diabetes patients(all P＞0.05)and a more significantly relieved angina(P=0.013).Additionally,the number of chronic total occlusion(CTO)per patient was identified as an independent risk factor of dyspnea(OR 0.723,95％CI 0.525～0.997,P=0.048)and angina relief(OR 0.686,95％CI 0.473～0.995,P=0.047),and the contrast volume(OR 0.995,95％CI 0.992～0.999,P=0.008)as an independent risk factor of QOL improvement in diabetic patients.Conclusions Successful PCI is beneficial for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life in patients with diabetes who have left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease.

Objective To explore the relationship between insulin resistance and idiopathic central precocious puberty(ICPP)in girls and the diagnostic value of insulin resistance.Methods Clinical data of 245 girls aged 4 to 7.5 years with low luteinizing hormone(LH)levels(0.2-0.83 IU/L),normal body weight(body mass index standard deviation score between-2 and+2),and early breast development who visited the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology,Henan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2022 to March 2025 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the Expert Consensus on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Central Precocious Puberty(2022),patients were assigned to an ICPP group(n=123)or a control group(n=122).Correlations between the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)and selected indices were assessed.Multivariable logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between HOMA-IR and ICPP,and the diagnostic performance of various indices for ICPP was evaluated.Results HOMA-IR was higher in the ICPP group than in the control group(P<0.001)and was positively correlated with LH peak(rs=0.467,P<0.05)and the LH peak/FSH peak ratio(rs=0.444,P<0.05).The multivariable logistic regression model including age,BMI,and basal LH showed that HOMA-IR was closely associated with ICPP(OR=2.756,95%CI:1.940-3.913).Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the areas under the curve for basal LH,HOMA-IR,and their combination in diagnosing ICPP were 0.735,0.735,and 0.805,respectively(P<0.05),and the combined model had a greater area under the curve than either basal LH or HOMA-IR alone(both P<0.05).Conclusions HOMA-IR is closely associated with ICPP in girls with low LH and normal body weight,and combining HOMA-IR with basal LH improves early identification and diagnostic efficiency in this population.

Objective To compare the effect of small optical zone orthokeratology lenses(OK lenses)and repeated low-level red-light(RLRL)therapy in controlling myopia progression for adolescents,and the therapeutic effectiveness of RLRL is evaluated.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 80 adolescent myopic patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University.The patients were divided into the RLRL group and the OK lenses group according to different intervention methods,with 40 cases in each group.Patients in the RLRL group received RLRL therapy combined with single-vision spectacles,and patients in the OK lenses group were treated with OK lenses.The changes of spherical equivalent(SE),axial length and subfoveal choroidal thickness(SFCT)1,3,6,and 12 months after treatment compared with the baseline,and color vision of patients were assessed.Based on the mean baseline axial length of the RLRL group,the patients in this group were subdivided into the short axial group and the long axial group,and the changes of the axial length and SFCT were further analyzed.Results The diopter 1,3,6,and 12 months after treatment in the RLRL group were not significantly different from the baseline(P>0.05).Axial lengths of patients in the RLRL group progressively shortened after treatment and returned close to the baseline 12 months after treatment.In contrast,axial lengths of patients in the OK lens continued to grow within 12 months after treatment;the axial lengths at each time point after treatment of patients in the two groups were significantly different from the baseline(P<0.05).The changes of axial length of patients in the RLRL group at each time point after treatment were significantly smaller than those in the OK lenses group(P<0.05).The SFCT changes of patients in the RLRL group at each time point after treatment were all greater than those in the OK lenses group(P<0.05).The SFCT at each time point after treatment in the RLRL group were significantly different from the baseline(P<0.05),whereas the SFCT at each time point after treatment in the OK lenses group were not significantly different from the baseline(P>0.05).The changes of axial length at each time point after treatment of patients in the long axial group were all greater than those in the short axial group(P<0.05);the SFCT changes 6 months after treatment of patients in the long axial group was greater than that in the short axial group(P<0.05);the SFCT at each time point after treatment of patients in the two groups were signifi-cantly different from the baseline(P<0.05).Color vision tests revealed no abnormities after treatment in the RLRL group and the OK lenses group.Conclusion RLRL therapy is effective in controlling myopia progression and demonstrates superior axial length control compared to orthokeratology lenses.

Objective To evaluate the clinical outcome of neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage for brain abscess.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 53 patients with brain abscess admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to December 2024.Among them,29 cases underwent craniotomy for abscess resection(craniotomy group),while 24 cases received neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage(robot-assisted group).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,decompressive craniectomy rate,proportion of postoperative antibiotic regimen adjustment,postoperative hospital stay,incidence of postoperative complications,mortality rate and Glasgow outcome scale(GOS)scores 6 months after surgery of patients were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the craniotomy group,the robot-assisted group demonstrated significantly shorter operation time,less intraoperative blood loss,and lower incidence of postoperative complication,the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).However,there were no statistically significant differences in terms of decompressive craniectomy rate,postoperative hospital stay,mortality rate,GOS score,or proportion of the postoperative antibiotic regimen adjustment between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion As a precise and minimally invasive surgical method,neurosurgical robot-assisted stereotactic puncture and drainage for patients with brain abscess can effectively improve the operational efficiency,shorten the operation time,reduce intraoperative injury,and lower the risk of postoperative complications.It has high clinical application value and potential for widespread adoption.

This study was aimed at investigating infections with Giardia and Cryptosporidium in Ochotona curzoniae in Zoige County,Sichuan Province.O.curzoniae were captured in five townships of Zoige County(Dazhasi,Axi,Hongxing,Tangke,and Maixi)between March and December of 2023.DNA from the gastrointestinal contents was subjected to nested PCR to amplify Giardia bg,gdh,and tpi genes,and the Cryptosporidium SSU rRNA gene.The sequences of PCR-PCR products were analyzed and compared.Phylogenetic trees were constructed to determine the protozoa species and genotypes.A total of 114 O.curzoniae animals were captured,among which 44 samples showed bg gene positivity,and 14 samples showed gdh gene positivity for Giardia.The total detection rate was 43.9％(50/114),and two assemblages were detected(assem-blage E and a new assemblage tentatively termed assemblage OC1);the positivity rate for Cryptosporidium was 7.0％(8/114),and three new genotypes were observed.Mixed infection with Cryptosporidium and Giardia was present in some sam-ples,with a detection rate of 3.5％(4/114).Giardia lamblia and Giardia sp.(REG-1,REG-2)were prevalent in O.curzoni-ae in Zoige County in Sichuan province;assemblage E was the dominant assemblage,and the new assemblage OC1 was pres-ent;and Cryptosporidium sp.(REG-1,REG-2,and REG-3)were identified.In summary,future monitoring of Giardia and Cryptosporidium should be further strengthened in Zoige to provide detailed data for promoting local public health.

Twelve pre-processing protocols for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded(FFPE)tissue samples were developed by orthogonal experimental design,incorporating different dewaxing buffers(Triton X-100 and xylene),lysis buffers(TFE and RapiGest),and enzyme digestion methods(iST,SP3,and FASP)to explore the optimal experimental conditions.These protocols were assessed based on protein and peptide identification depth,identification stability,and quantitative levels of protein abundance.The results indicated that Triton X-100 and xylene minimally impacted proteomics identification,whereas the TFE lysis buffer and iST digestion method significantly enhanced the proteomics analysis of FFPE samples.Considering the potential toxicity of xylene,the TTI protocol based on Triton X-100,TFE,and iST was determined to be the optimal choice.This protocol exhibited the best repeatability and stability,and a higher number of proteins associated with significant biological functions were identified.In conclusion,the established TTI protocol offered an efficient and comprehensive approach for proteomic analysis of FFPE samples,significantly enhancing the repeatability and stability of protein identification.
