Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil （MMF） combined with Budesonide enteric capsules in the treatment of high-risk progressive immunoglobulin A nephropathy （IgAN）. METHODS A total of 150 adult patients with high-risk progressive IgAN who attended the Department of Nephrology， Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital， between August 1， 2024 and March 1， 2025 were enrolled in this study. The control group （ n ＝94） received MMF combined with glucocorticoid， while the observation group （ n ＝56） received MMF combined with Budesonide enteric capsules. The 24-hour urine protein （24 h UP）， estimated glomerular filtration rate （eGFR）， and albumin （ALB） levels of patients in both groups were compared at 1， 2， 3， and 6 months post-treatment. The complete response （CR） rate and overall response rate were calculated for both groups at 1， 2， 3， and 6 months post-treatment. Adverse reactions occurring during treatment were compared between the two groups. RESULTS Compared with before treatment， 24 h UP decreased significantly in both groups at different time points after treatment （ P ＜0.05）， and ALB increased significantly （ P ＜0.05）. However， there was no significant change in eGFR （ P ＞0.05）. The 24 h UP in the observation group at 1， 2， and 3 months after treatment was significantly lower than that of the control group （ P ＜0.05）， while the ALB level was significan tly higher （ P ＜0.05）. However， at 6 months after treatment， there was no statistically significant difference in these two indicators between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in eGFR between the two groups at different time points after treatment （ P ＞0.05）. The overall response rates in the observation group at 1 and 2 months after treatment were significantly higher than those in the control group （ P ＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in the overall response rate at the remaining treatment time points and the CR rate at all time points between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. Patients in the observation group had significantly lower rates of skin abnormalities， elevated blood glucose， and overall adverse reactions compared with the control group （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with MMF combined with glucocorticoids， MMF combined with Budesonide enteric capsules for the treatment of high-risk progressive IgAN patients can reduce proteinuria and improve serum ALB levels more quickly， significantly increase the early overall response rate， and significantly reduce glucocorticoid-related skin adverse reactions， blood glucose elevation， and the overall incidence of adverse reactions， demonstrating a better short-term benefits.

With the establishment of bio-psycho-social medical model,both social and psychological factors play an important role in the occurrence,development and treatment of diseases.Hypertension is a common chronic multiple disease in China,and patients are often complicated with depression and other e-motional disorders.The interaction between hypertension and depression significantly increases the risk of poor prognosis.Current studies have shown a bidirectional promoting relationship between hypertension and depression,and they have some com-mon pathogenesis.However,the specific mechanism of their co-morbidity has not been fully elucidated.Renin-angiotensin sys-tem(RAS)plays an important role in the regulation of hyperten-sion and depression and other emotions.It is composed of two antagonistic pathways.The balance is maintained by angioten-sin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2).Therefore,this article reviews the relationship and mechanism of RAS in hypertension,depres-sion and comorbid states,in order to provide new treatment ide-as for hypertension and depression.

Aim To evaluate the bioequivalence of two oral preparations of rivaroxaban tablets(test preparation T and refe-rence preparation R)in fasting/postprandibular state in healthy Chinese subjects.Methods A randomized,open,single-dose,four-cycle,completely repeated crossover experiment was used in this study.A total of 70 healthy male and female subjects were enrolled,including 38 subjects in the fasting group and 32 sub-jects in the postprandial group.Rivaroxaban tablets(2.5 mg/tablet)were taken orally once per cycle and their reference preparations were tested.The plasma rivaroxaban concentration was determined by LC-MS/MS method.The pharmacokinetic parameters of rivaroxaban tablets were calculated by WinNonlin software,and the parameters were analyzed and processed.Re-sults The PK parameters of rivaroxaban tablets and reference preparations in fasting group were as follows:Cmax was(72.48±17.08)and(66.36±15.64)μg·L-1,respectively.AUC0-t were(383.49±101.06)and(370.43±102.16)h·ng·mL-1,and AUC0-inr were(389.58±102.28)and(375.84±103.01)h·μg·L-,respectively.Main PK parameters of subjects taking rivaroxaban tablets orally after meals:Cmax were(66.48±15.64 and 60.87±13.44)μg·L-1,AUC0-t were(404.44±72.58)and(381.80±79.93)h·μg·L-1,re-spectively.AUC0_inf was(410.88±73.55)and(393.64±69.71)h·μg·L-1,respectively.Under fasting and postmeal conditions,subjects took rivaroxaban test and reference prepara-tion orally,one tablet(2.5 mg/tablet)each time.The geometric mean of the main pharmacokinetic parameters of rivaroxaban in plasma(Cmax,AUC0-t,AUC0-inf)and their corresponding values had a 90％confidence interval ranging from 80.00％to 125.00％.No serious adverse events or unexpected adverse e-vents occurred in both groups.Conclusion Rivaroxaban tablets are bioequivalent and safe in vivo under fasting and postprandial conditions.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum cystatin C(CysC)level and the risk of Parkinson's disease(PD)in middle-aged and elderly people in China.Methods Based on the baseline survey data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study(CHARLS)in 2011,participants who were not diagnosed with PD at the time of the baseline survey were recruited.The onset of PD was tracked and followed up until 2020,and the participants were divided into PD group and non-PD group according to whether they were newly diagnosed with PD in 2020.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between serum CysC level and the risk of PD.Subgroup and interaction analyses were performed to assess effect modifications by age,gender and depression.Additionally,restricted cubic spline(RCS)was used to explore the linear or non-linear relationship between serum CysC level and the risk of PD in different subgroups.Results We included a total of 3 339 subjects in this study,who consisted of 1 495 males(44.77％)and 1 844 females(55.23％).While baseline participants were followed until 2020,32 subjects had a new PD,and the incidence of PD was 0.96％.The median age of PD group was 63.00 years.Multivariable Logistic regression analysis found that CysC was an independent risk factor for the risk of PD,and CysC was positive significantly associated with the risk of PD(OR=2.34,95％ CI:1.14-4.82,P=0.021).Subgroup analysis showed that CysC was positively associated with PD in females(OR=2.70,95％ CI:1.30-5.58,P=0.007)and subjects aged 60 years or older(OR=5.29,95％ CI:1.69-16.53,P=0.004).RCS model indicated a linear relationship between serum CysC level and the risk of PD in females(Ptotal=0.018,Pnon-linear=0.062)and subjects aged 60 years or older(Ptotal=0.024,Pnon-linear=0.379).Conclusion High level of CysC may increase the risk of PD in middle-aged and elderly people,especially in females and those aged 60 years or older.

Objective:To explore the potential prognostic value of the HAMP(hepcidin)gene in gastric adenocarci-noma and its correlation with immune infiltration in gastric cancer.Methods:This study systematically analyzed the ex-pression characteristics of the HAMP gene using bioinformatics approaches based on mRNA data from 448 gastric ad-enocarcinoma tissues and non-tumor tissues in the TCGA database.Firstly,the cBioPortal platform was employed to analyze the genetic variation features of the HAMP gene,and the LinkedOmics database was used to evaluate the corre-lation between its methylation status and expression levels.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with log-rank test was per-formed to assess the relationship between HAMP expression levels and patient prognosis.Furthermore,by integrating TIMER2.0 and TISIDB databases,we systematically evaluated the correlation between HAMP expression and immune-related genes as well as immune cell infiltration.Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA)was conducted to investigate HAMP-associated signaling pathway characteristics.Finally,STRING and Gepia databases were utilized to construct a protein-protein interaction network of HAMP and identify core interacting genes,comprehensively evaluating the role of HAMP in immune infiltration in gastric adenocarcinoma.Results:The expression level of HAMP was significantly higher in gastric adenocarcinoma tissues compared to normal tissues(P<0.01),and its elevated expression was strongly associ-ated with poor patient prognosis,manifested by significantly shorter overall survival(OS),progression-free survival(PFS),and post-progression survival(PPS)(all P<0.05).Genomic analysis revealed that HAMP mutations in gastric cancer were predominantly amplification-type,and its methylation level showed a positive correlation with mRNA expression(r=0.14,P<0.001).Immunological analysis demonstrated that high HAMP expression was significantly correlated with multiple key immune checkpoint molecules(PD-1:rho=0.274;PD-L1:rho=0.211;CTLA-4:rho=0.199,all P<0.001)and immune cell infiltration(dendritic cells:r=0.548;macrophages:r=0.414;neutrophils:r=0.374,all P<0.001).Pathway enrichment analy-sis indicated that the high HAMP expression group was significantly enriched in immune-related pathways including anti-gen presentation and NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.Furthermore,protein-protein interaction network analysis identified core interacting genes such as TREM2 and TYROBP,suggesting that HAMP may participate in tumor immune regulation through specific molecular networks.Conclusion:HAMP is highly expressed in gastric cancer,and its high expression significantly reduces the survival time of gastric adenocarcinoma patients,demonstrating prognostic value.HAMP ex-pression is positively correlated with most immune-related genes in STAD and significantly associated with the abun-dance of multiple immune cell infiltration levels,serving as an independent prognostic factor related to immune infiltration.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the spillover effects of the Diagnosis-Related Groups payment reform on medical expenditures.Methods:Based on the medical record data of inpatients in a tertiary Grade A hospital in Wuhan,Hubei Province,the Difference-in-Differences method was applied to estimate the impact of the DRG reform on medical expenditures for non-local patients.Results:After the implementation of DRG payment,the total medical expenses(β=-0.13),out-of-pocket expenses(β=-0.22),drug expenses(β=-0.25),consumable expenses(β=-0.26)decreased significantly.Meanwhile,the reduction ranges of the level and proportion of out-of-pocket expenses for non-local inpatients were significantly larger than those for local inpatients.However,the reduction range of the proportion of drug expenses for non-local inpatients was significantly smaller than that for local inpatients.The gaps between the two groups in terms of the level of out-of-pocket expenses and the proportion of drug expenses gradually narrowed.Conclusion:The DRG payment reform has produced a significant spillover effect,leading to a decrease in the medical expense level and an improvement in the expense structure for non-local inpatients.However,the medical expenses of non-local inpatients remain relatively high.It is suggested to accelerate the inclusion of non-local inpatients in disease-specific payment management and strengthen the coordination between the hospital's internal operation management and the reform of medical insurance payment methods.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)combined with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy(MBCT)in patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome(AWS).Methods:The 120 patients with AWS who were observed in this study were all male patients admitted to our hospital from June 2021 to June 2024,the patients were divided into group A(conventional treatment,40 cases),group B(group A combined with rTMS,40 cases),and group C(group B combined with MBCT,40 cases)according to random number table method.The clinical efficacy,self-control ability[Modified Clinical Institution Alcohol Dependence Withdrawal Assessment Scale(CIWA-Ar)score,Visual Analog Scale of Psychological Craving for Alcohol(VAS)score and Pennsylvania Alcohol Craving Scale(PACS)score],anxiety and depression degree assessment[Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)score,Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)score]and quality of life[36 Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)Score],relapse rate and readmission rate were compared among the three groups.Results:The total effective rate of group A,group B and group C increased successively(P＜0.05).The CIWA-Ar,PACS and VAS scores in group B and group C after treatment were lower than those in group A,and group C was lower than that in group B(P＜0.05).The HAMD and HAMA scores of group B and group C after treatment were lower than those in group A,and group C was lower than that in group B(P＜0.05).The SF-36 score of group B and group C after treatment was higher than those in group A,and group C was higher than that in group B(P＜0.05).Relapse rate and readmission rate in groups B and C were lower than those in group A,and group C was lower than that in group B(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The application of rTMS combined with MBCT in patients with AWS can improve clinical efficacy and quality of life,alleviate anxiety and depression,improve patients' self-control ability,reduce relapse rate and readmission rate,with definite effects.

Objective:To investigate the effects of different BMI classifications on rehabilitation outcomes and complications after total knee arthroplasty(TKA).Methods:Clinical data of 88 patients who underwent TKA in our hospital from January 2022 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the World Health Organization(WHO)BMI standards,patients were divided into normal weight group(18.5 ≤BMI＜24.9 kg/m2),overweight group(25.0≤BMI＜29.9 kg/m2),mild obesity group(30.0≤BMI＜34.9 kg/m2),and severe obesity group(BMI≥35.0 kg/m2).Baseline data,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay,postoperative knee function scores,pain scores,range of motion(ROM),and incidence of complications were compared among groups.Results:With the increase of BMI,operation time was prolonged,intraoperative blood loss increased,and hospital stay extended,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).At 3-month and 6-month follow-ups,Knee Society Score(KSS)and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)showed that functional recovery decreased with increasing BMI(P＜0.05).Regarding postoperative complications,the incidence of poor incision healing,infection,and deep vein thrombosis(DVT)in the obese groups was significantly higher than in the normal weight and overweight groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion:BMI is an important factor affecting rehabilitation outcomes and complications after TKA.Patients with high BMI have slower functional recovery and higher complication rates.For patients with high BMI,preoperative weight loss and individualized rehabilitation programs should be considered to improve TKA prognosis.
