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 correlation between imaging features of mixed ground-glass nodules(mGGNs)under dual lung enhanced CT and pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 102 isolated mGGN lung adenocarcinoma patients admitted to Dalian Central Hospital from October 2016 to October 2018.The patients were divided into adenocarcinoma in situ(AIS)group,minimally invasive adenocarcinoma(MIA)group and invasive adenocarcinoma(IAC)group according to postoperative pathological examination results.Measure the maximum diameter lesions,the maximum diameter of solid components and the proportion of solid components to evaluate imaging features of three groups.The relationship between pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma and baseline features,imaging features,mGGN lesions,maximum diameter of solid components and proportion of solid components were analyzed.The diagnostic value of the maximum diameter of lesions,the maximum diameter of solid components,and the proportion of solid components in IAC were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves.Results:102 patients were divided into AIS group(n=20),MIA group(n=29)and IAC group(n=53)based on postoperative pathological diagnosis.There was a statistically significant difference in age among the three groups(P＜0.05).Tumor distribution locations:35 cases in the upper lobe of the right lung,10 cases in the middle lobe of the right lung,and 15 cases in the lower lobe of the right lung;23 cases in the upper lobe of the left lung and 19 cases in the lower lobe of the left lung,the tumor distribution locations in the upper lobe of the right lung was relatively high in various pathological subtypes.The lesions in AIS and MIA groups were mostly circular or elliptical in shape,whiile the lesions in the IAC group was mostly irregular in shape.There was a statistically significant difference in morphological comparisons among the three groups(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in burr sign between MIA group and IAC group(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in pleural indentation sign and bronchial inflation sign between MIA group and IAC group(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the maximum diameter of lesions and the maximum diameter of solid components among the three groups(P＜0.05).The proportion of solid components in IAC group was higher than that in AIS and MIA groups,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The ROC curve shows that,the area under curve(AUC)for diagnosing IAC based on the maximum diameter of the lesion,the maximum diameter of the solid component,and the proportion of the solid component were 0.840,0.966 and 0.816,respectively.The AUC of diagnosing IAC with the maximum diameter of the solid component was greater than the AUC of the maximum diameter of the lesion and the proportion of solid components(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Dual lung enhanced CT can evaluate the imaging features of mGGN,and it can distinguish the pathological subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma,when the maximum diameter of the lesion is ≥ 16.5 mm,the maximum diameter of the solid component is ≥5.5 mm,or the proportion of solid component is ≥47.00％,it can effectively diagnose IAC,the maximum diameter of solid components has the best diagnostic efficiency for IAC.

Objective:To investigate the changes and effects of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway during hypoxia-reoxygenation in human renal tubular epithelial(HK-2)cells.Methods:HK-2 cells were randomly divided into control group(Control),model group(Model),model+interference empty vector group(Model+NC),and model+interference group(Model+Si-β-catenin).Cells in the control group were cultured routinely.Cells in the Model group were intervened with hypoxia for 6 hours and reoxygenation for 2 hours to construct a hypoxia-reoxygenation model.HK-2 cells in the Model+NC group and the Model+Si-β-catenin group were transfected with β-catenin interference empty vector and β-catenin interference vector respectively,and then a hypoxia-reoxygenation model was constructed.After corresponding interventions,cells were collected.The apoptosis of cells in each group was detected by flow cytometry.The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-7(MMP-7)and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)was detected by immunofluorescence.The expression level of Wnt pathway-related proteins was detected by Western blotting.Results:Compared with that in the control group,the apoptosis rate of cells in the Model group was significantly up-regulated,and there was no significant difference in cell apoptosis between the Model group,the Model+NC group and the Model+Si-β-catenin group.The results of WB detection showed that there was no significant difference in the expression of GSK-3β protein in the cells among the control group,the model group,the model+NC group and the model+Si-β-catenin group.Compared with that in the control group,the expression of p-GSK-3β protein in the Model group was significantly up-regulated,while there was no significant difference in the expression of p-GSK-3βprotein between the Model group,the Model+NC group and the Model+Si-β-catenin group.The results of immunofluorescence detection showed that MMP-7 and α-SMA in the Model group were significantly increased compared with that in the control group,while there was no significant difference between the Model group and the Model+NC group.Compared with the Model+NC group,MMP-7 and α-SMA in the Model+Si-β-catenin group were significantly down-regulated.Conclusion:The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is activated in HK-2 cells during hypoxia-reoxygenation and promotes the expression of fibrosis-related proteins.Inhibiting β-catenin can improve its fibrosis induction level.

This study was aimed at establishing a method of ultra-fast quantitative PCR for Brucella detection.We used an exogenous recombinant plasmid as the internal reference and targeted the T4SS secretion system,an important Brucella viru-lence factor,to design specific primers and probes.The sensitivity,specificity,and repeatability of this method were evaluated,and a standard curve was constructed.The coincidence rate of detection findings with this method versus quantitative PCR was determined.This method markedly decreased the detection time to only 10 minutes.The standard curve demonstrated a good linear relationship(Y=-3.410 7x+38.357,R2=0.998 5)with a low minimum detection limit of 10 copies/μL.The method exhibited good specificity and did not specifically amplify several common clinical bacteria other than Brucella.The de-tection of three concentrations of positive plasmids yielded coefficients of variation(CVs)of 0.20％to 0.91％,thus demonstra-ting the method's excellent repeatability.Furthermore,140 clinical samples were analyzed concurrently with the fluorescence PCR method,which yielded a 100％compliance rate and consistent results.Our findings indicated that the Brucella ultra-fast quantitative PCR was ultrafast;had high sensitivity,high specificity,and good specificity;and can be used for the clinical de-tection of Brucella and emergency investigation of epidemics.Therefore,this method is valuable for the early diagnosis of Bru-cella.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and independent risk factors of severe disease in patients with anti-nuclear matrix protein (NXP) 2 antibody-positive juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 219 anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM patients admitted to 23 children′s hospitals across China from July 2011 to July 2023. Patients were classified into severe and non-severe groups based on classification criteria for severe dermatomyositis. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and laboratory parameters were compared between the 2 groups using independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for severe disease. The receiver operating characteristic curve was employed to calculate optimal cut-off values. Results:Among the 219 patients, 108 were male and 111 were female, with an age at onset of 6.3 (3.5, 9.4) years. The severe group comprised 69 patients, and the non-severe group 150 patients. The severe group had significantly higher rates of fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, as well as elevated levels of ferritin-to-albumin ratio (FAR), creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis identified anti-Ro52 antibody positivity ( OR=13.26, 95% CI 1.37-128.29) and elevated FAR ( OR=1.90, 95% CI 1.09-2.31) as independent risk factors for severe anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM (both P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed that a FAR cutoff value of 6.82 predicted severe disease with an area under the curve of 0.87 (95% CI 0.81-0.94, P<0.001), sensitivity of 0.85, and specificity of 0.70. All patients received glucocorticoid therapy, and the severe group received higher proportions of steroid pulse therapy, cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, intravenous immunoglobulin, biologics, and adjuvant treatments compared to the non-severe group (all P<0.05). In terms of outcomes, 2 patients (2.9%) in the severe group died (due to neurological involvement and intestinal perforation, respectively), while the remaining patients achieved complete clinical response or remission. All patients in the non-severe group achieved remission. Conclusions:The primary clinical features of anti-NXP2 antibody-positive JDM included fever, heliotrope rash, subcutaneous edema, periorbital edema, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity, and elevated levels of CK, AST, LDH, and FAR. Furthermore, anti-Ro52 antibody positivity and a FAR>6.82 were identified as independent risk factors.

Objective This study aimed to explore the correlation between abnormal hand features and coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CHD)to provide clinical data support for digitalized traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)hand diagnosis.Methods A palm key point prediction algorithm was used to automatically capture and collect detailed features of the palm and nails through image analysis and data mining using the hand diagnosis information collection technology based on the NVIDIA Jetson platform and Qt framework.A total of 438 cardiac patients who underwent coronary artery computed tomography angiography(CACTA)in the Department of Cardiology,Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,from December 2023 to April 2024 were included and divided into CHD(148 cases)and non-CHD groups(290 cases)based on the CACTA results.The hand features of the two groups were compared,and abnormal hand features associated with CHD were screened using random forest analysis as well as univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results Based on the results of univariate logistic regression and random forest analyses,a set of hand-related features associated with CHD were identified and subsequently included in the multivariate logistic regression analysis.These features included the morphology of the thenar eminence,the wrinkles of the thenar eminence,nail shape,nail texture,and the length of the blood vessel in the middle finger.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that hypertrophic thenar eminence[odds ratio(OR):3.049,95%confidence interval(CI):1.430-6.503,P=0.004],presence of wrinkles on the thenar eminence(OR:2.206,95%CI:1.119-4.348,P=0.022),presence of gray-black vertical stripes on the nails(OR:1.981,95%CI:1.173-3.347,P=0.011),uneven nail surface(OR:3.130,95%CI:1.822-5.378,P<0.001),and inward-bending nail surface(OR:5.727,95%CI:1.812-18.102,P=0.003)were positively associated with CHD.In contrast,the blood vessel in the middle finger longer than 1/3 of the phalanx was negatively associated with CHD(OR:0.405,95%CI:0.234-0.702,P=0.001).Conclusion Certain hand features are significantly associated with CHD,providing the valuable clinical data to support for the digitalization of TCM hand diagnosis.
