ObjectiveTo investigate the difference in the risk of cardiovascular diseases between patients with different subtypes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD） from the perspective of metabolism， since cardiovascular events induced by metabolic disorders are the leading cause of death in NAFLD. MethodsThe cluster sampling method was used to conduct a multicenter cross-sectional study among three representative hospitals in Pudong New Area of Shanghai， China. A total of 37 122 sets of physical examination data from July 2022 to June 2023 were collected and stratified according to body mass index （BMI）. The chi-square test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups， and a multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association between NAFLD subtypes and cardiometabolic risk factors. ResultsA total of 9 372 cases of NAFLD were detected， with a detection rate of 25.25%， and more than 97% of these patients were diagnosed with metabolic associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD）. The subgroup analysis showed that the detection rates of lean， overweight， and obese NAFLD were 7.72%， 33.99%， and 63.56%， respectively. Compared with the patients with lean or overweight NAFLD， the patients with obese NAFLD showed a significantly higher proportion of patients with abnormalities in blood pressure， blood glucose， triglyceride （TG）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL） or uric acid （all P<0.001）. Among related risk factors， lean NAFLD was associated with the increase in total cholesterol （TC）（P<0.05）， while overweight NAFLD and obese NAFLD were not associated with TC abnormalities （P>0.05）； obese NAFLD was not associated with TG abnormalities， while lean NAFLD and overweight NAFLD were associated with TG abnormalities （both P<0.05）； all types of NAFLD were associated with the abnormalities of waist-hip ratio， blood pressure， blood glucose， low-density lipoprotein， HDL， and uric acid （all P<0.05）. ConclusionThe detection rates of different subtypes of NAFLD in Shanghai Pudong are close to those reported in China and globally， and the epidemiologic data of NAFLD can be used analogously for MAFLD. There are certain differences in the distribution and association of cardiometabolic risk factors between different subtypes of NAFLD， and targeted interventions should be formulated based on the metabolic characteristics of each type of NAFLD.

This paper reported a case of severe lupus nephritis in an adolescent with progressive hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and multiple organs involvement, in which renal damage was characterized by sustained elevation of serum creatinine and oliguria. Accurate diagnosis of lupus nephritis complicated with thrombotic microangiopathy was achieved through genetic testing and molecular technology. The use of double filtration plasmapheresis, blocking B-cell targets and complement activation targets, and supplementing frozen plasma provided more accurate, safe and effective treatment options for patients, which significantly improved prognosis.

Esophageal cancer is the eighth most common malignant tumor in the world, and China is a country with high incidence of esophageal cancer. Currently, The treatment options for resectable esophageal cancer is multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment based on surgery. In recent years, minimally invasive esophageal cancer surgery has been increasingly used in clinical practice, especially McKeown minimally invasive esophagectomy(MIE) has become the most minimally invasive esophagectomy currently used in China. But how effective is the McKeown MIE for esophageal cancer compared to the open McKeown and other minimally invasive esophageal cancer procedures? A detailed comprehensive description is not yet available. In this paper, We will summarize the clinical studies related to McKeown MIE and traditional open McKeown, Ivor-Lewis MIE, Sweet operation and robot-assisted McKeown MIE, and systematically analyze them, so as to clarify the value of McKeown MIE surgery in the treatment of esophageal cancer.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.
