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.

Endometriosis presents a common challenge in global women's health.Ferroptosis,as an emerging form of regulated cell death,has recently attracted attention in relation to endometriosis.In terms of disease mechanisms,ferroptosis drives ovarian endometrial fibrosis via the induction of iron overload,and promotes disease progression by regulating multiple signaling pathways,such as p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription 6(p38MAPK/STAT6),promote angiogenesis,autophagy,etc,fueling disease progression.In terms of infertility,ferroptosis affects embryo development and ovarian function,thereby reducing fertility.From a diagnostic perspective,high expression of ferroptosis-related genes provides potential biomarkers for the early diagnosis of endometriosis,effectively distinguishing patients from healthy individuals,and showing important clinical value.In terms of treatment strategies,non-natural compounds such as Erastin,as well as natural compounds such as resveratrol,ursolic acid,and baicalein,have shown potential therapeutic effects in relieving the pathological process and related symptoms of endometriosis.This review comprehensively elucidates the key role of ferroptosis in endometriosis in terms of the disease mechanisms,infertility,diagnosis,and treatment,and explores its potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target,thus providing new theoretical support and treatment strategies for the management of endometriosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of curcumol(Cur)on apoptosis in senescent Hep3B cells induced by XL413.Methods XL413 induced a senescence model in Hep3B cells.Cur intervention was adminis-tered.CCK-8 and Incucyte? assays were used to eval-uate cell proliferation.Senescence-associated beta-gal-actosidase(SA-β-gal)staining was performed to assess cellular senescence.Flow cytometry was employed to detect apoptosis.RT-qPCR was conducted to measure the mRNA expression levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP)factors IL-6,IL-8,and CXCL10.Western blot was performed to assess the ex-pression levels of p16,PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-AKT,Bax,and Bcl-2.The ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K,p-Akt/Akt,and Bcl-2/Bax were calculated.Results Fol-lowing XL413 intervention,the proportion of SA-β-gal-positive cells and the expression of p16 protein signifi-cantly increased compared to the control group(P＜0.05),suggesting the successful establishment of the cell senescence model.CCK-8 assay showed that the IC50 values of Cur intervention in Hep3B cells at 24 h,48 h,and 72 h were 106.40 μmol·L-1,54.67 μmol·L-1,and 31.87 μmol·L-1,respectively.Incucy-te? cell proliferation assay demonstrated that the cell proliferation rate was significantly lower in the XL413 group compared to that in the control group(P＜0.05),and further decreased after Cur intervention(P＜0.05)in a concentration-dependent manner.The proportion of apoptotic cells in the Cur group was sig-nificantly higher than that in the XL413 group(P＜0.05),also exhibiting concentration dependence.Cur intervention led to a significant reduction in IL-6,IL-8,CXCL10 mRNA expression levels,as well as p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT ratios compared to the XL413 group(P＜0.05),with a concentration-de-pendent effect.The expression of Bax protein increased(P＜0.05),while Bcl-2 protein expression decreased and the Bcl-2/Bax ratio decreased(P＜0.05)in the Cur group,showing a dose-dependent effect.Conclu-sions Cur has been shown to clear XL413-induced senescent Hep3B cells,reduce their SASP expression and promote apoptosis.The underlying mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of 3D-printed navigation guided pudendal lead implantation on nervous regula-tion of lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS)in male patients.Methods:Twenty-eight male patients who underwent perineal nervous regulation treatment for LUTS in Gongli Hospital of Pudong New Area from October 2021 to October 2023 were randomly divided into observation group and control group.The technology assisted with 3D-printed navigation to regulate the genital nerves was used in ob-servation group.And the patients in control group were treated with regulation of the genital nerves by routine puncture.Operation time of puncture,number of surgical punctures,and stimulator debugging time compared between the two groups.The improvement of post-operative symptoms and surgical complications of patients in the observation group were recorded as well.Result:A total of 12 male LUTS patients were included in the observation group,with an average age of 36.5±6.5 years,including 7 cases of frequent micturi-tion,3 cases of perineal pain,and 2 cases of dysuria.Four patients showed no significant improvement in symptoms,including two pa-tients with pain and two cases of frequent micturition who did not undergo secondary surgery.While the other eight patients showed sig-nificant improvement in symptoms.The average time for successful puncture in control group was(21.13±4.53)minutes,which was longer than that of the 3D-printed navigation group([10.32±3.42]min)significantly(P＜0.05).The average number of punctures in the ordinary puncture group was 5.62±1.43,which was significantly higher than that in the 3 D-printed navigation group(1.5±0.56).There was no statistically significant difference in the average time for stimulator debugging between the two groups of patients.The conversion rate of the 3D-printed navigation group in the second phase was 66.7％,which was higher than that(37.5％)significantly(P＜0.05).Conclusion:3D printing navigation of pudendal nerve electrode wire implantation can improve the accuracy of electrode implantation and the conversion rate to a certain extent,which has the advantages of reducing the difficulty of surgery.

Aim To observe the mechanism of salvian-olic acid B(SalB)against oxygen glucose deprivation/re-oxygenation(OGD/R)injury in H9c2 cardiomyo-cytes.Methods The protective concentration of SalB against OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was screened by CCK-8 assay.The levels of lactate dehy-drogenase(LDH),aspartate transaminase(AST)and creatine kinase(CK)were detected by ELISA kit.The mechanism of action of SalB on OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardiomyocytes was explored using high-through-put sequencing of the transcriptome.The binding of SalB to differential proteins was assessed using molecu-lar docking assays.Fatty acid content was determined using free fatty acid kits.The relative expressions of mRNA and protein of differential genes were verified by RT-qPCR and Western blot.The causal relationship between the target of action of SalB and heart failure was examined by Mendelian randomization experiment.Results SalB protected OGD/R-injured H9c2 cardio-myocytes and significantly reduced the levels of CK,LDH and AST compared with the blank control group.One hundred differential genes were screened by tran-scriptome sequencing,which were mainly involved in fatty acid elongation,central carbon metabolism of cancer,tryptophan metabolism pathways.Molecular docking showed that SalB had good binding energy to differential proteins.The mRNA and protein expression of core differential genes Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 were consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results.SalB reduced fatty acidsafter OGD/R injury.Mende-lian randomization experiments suggested that SalB might reduce the risk of heart failure through fatty acid metabolism,thereby reducing the risk of heart failure.Conclusion SalB can protect H9c2 cardiomyocytes after OGD/R injury by down-regulating Elovl6,Echs1 and Acot1 expression through the fatty acid metabolism pathway.

Arsenic is a semi-metal,and lipid-soluble arsenic compounds are one of the widespread forms in the environment and food chain,but there is a lack of standards for lipid-soluble arsenic compounds,which is one of the bottlenecks in the current analytical detection and toxicological studies of organic arsenic.In this study,four saturated arsenic-containing hydrocarbons,AsHC 318,AsHC 332,AsHC 346,and AsHC 374(The number is relative molecular mass),were successfully synthesized in three steps by using dimethylarsinic acid,potassium iodide,sodium hydroxide,and four brominated alkanes(1-Bromotetradecane,1-bromopentadecane,1-bromohexadecane,and 1-bromooctadecane)as raw materials.The structures of these four saturated arsenic-containing hydrocarbons were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance(1H NMR)spectroscopy,13C nuclear magnetic resonance(13C NMR)spectroscopy,and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HR-MS).The yields of the method were 8%-10%,and the synthesized compounds could be used in subsequent toxicity evaluation experiments to assess the toxic effects and mechanisms of action of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons.This study provided an effective method for synthesis of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons,enriching the synthesis methods of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons,and provided raw materials for the subsequent toxicological studies of arsenic-containing hydrocarbons.
