Objective: To explore the association between CDKAL1 rs35261542, FAIM2 rs 3205718, and VGLL4 rs 2574704 polymorphisms with childhood obesity and related metabolic phenotypes to provide evidence for personalized prevention and management strategies. Methods: Based on the 2023 Long term Nutritional Health Effects of Early Childhood Nutrition Package Intervention project, the study enrolled 1 078 children aged 5-7 years from four counties in Henan (Songxian and Ruyang countries) and Guizhou (Guiding and Fuquan countries) provinces. Using BMI Z scores, 87 overweight and obese(OVOB) children were selected and matched by sex, age, and BMI Z score with 117 normal weight controls. Participants were further stratified into four metabolic phenotype groups: metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW, n =51), metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW, n =66), metabolically healthy obesity (MHO, n =31) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO, n =56) based on four conventional cardiometabolic risk factor (CR) criteria. Data were collected through questionnaires, anthropometric measurements, serum biochemical tests, and KASP genotyping. The distribution of three genetic polymorphisms ( CDKAL1 rs35261542, FAIM2 rs3205718, VGLL4 rs 2574704) across metabolic subgroups was analyzed. Multivariate Logistic regression models assessed associations between these polymorphisms and obesity/metabolic phenotypes. Results: Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Homozygous mutant AA genotype of CDKAL1 rs 35261542 was positively associated with OVOB( OR =3.63), MHO ( OR =11.04), MUO ( OR = 4.88 ) ( P <0.05). Homozygous TT genotype of FAIM2 rs 3205718 increased OVOB risk ( OR =4.44, P <0.05) but showed no association with metabolic phenotypes ( P >0.05). Homozygous mutant TT of VGLL4 rs 2574704 reduced the risks of MHO and MUO ( OR = 0.30, 0.24， P <0.05). Cumulative genetic effects analysis demonstrated carriers of 1 or 2 risk genotypes of rs 35261542 and rs 3205718 had progressively higher OVOB risk ( OR =2.53, 20.79), and the combination of rs 35261542 and rs 2574704 increased risks for both MHO ( OR =8.50) and MUO ( OR =5.00) ( P <0.05). Conclusions The AA genotype of rs 35261542 ( CDKAL1 ) positively correlates with childhood obesity and metabolic abnormalities. The TT genotype of rs 3205718 ( FAIM 2) increases obesity risk but not metabolic phenotypes. The TT genotype of rs 2574704 ( VGLL 4) shows protective effects against metabolic dysfunction. Risk genotypes exhibit dosedependent cumulative effects on obesity and metabolic outcomes.

Mental state is an important part of the normal life activities of the human body, and it is also the most external expression and the most easily obtained information of the physical condition. The normal activities of the mind depend on the normal operation of the viscera, qi, and blood, and are a unified whole that prospers together and suffers together. The theory of the five-spirit-viscera in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic revealed that the normal mental activities of the human body were dominated by the five internal organs, that is, the five internal organs were the body and the five spirits were the function. And it highlighted the viewpoint that the five internal organs store the spirits and are actually one. The heart governs the spirit and belongs to the four internal organs. On this basis, Synopsis of Golden Chamber used the internal organs to diagnose and treat mental diseases, integrating the theory of the five spirits into it, forming a unique method of diagnosis and treatment with the heart as the leading factor and regulating the qi and blood of the four internal organs. It identified the pathogenesis of diseases such as pathogenic crying, lily disease, and hysteria from five levels: heart deficiency and weak qi, heart-lung disharmony, heart-liver disharmony, the heart of the loss of the spleen nourishment, and disharmony between heart and kidney. The treatment was mainly to replenish the deficiency of the viscera and eliminate the pathogens, reflecting the characteristics of regulating the mind and calming the four internal organs. This unique view on diagnosis and treatment has profoundly influenced the diagnosis and treatment theories of mental illnesses by later doctors, and is of great significance to the current clinical treatment of such illnesses.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)level and the development and severity of diabetes mellitus cystoid macular edema(CME).Methods A total of 57 patients(57 eyes)with diabetic CME(the case group)and diabetes without eye complications(the control group)admitted to the Vitreoretinal Surgery Department of Tangshan Eye Hospital from June 2023 to June 2024 were prospectively selected,and all of them underwent systematic ophthalmic specialty examination and serum VEGF detection.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors of diabetes mellitus CME.The diagnostic value of VEGF in patients with diabetes CME was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between VEGF levels and the severity of CME in patients with diabetes,such as corrected visual,number of cystoid edema and non-round index of macular foveal avascular zone(FAZ).Results Compared with the control group,the course of diabetes in the case group was longer,the incidence of hypertension was higher,levels of glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c),serum creatinine and serum VEGF were higher,and the estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)was lower(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression results showed that long duration of diabetes,increased levels of HbA1c and VEGF were risk factors for CME in diabetes mellitus patients,while elevated eGFR was protective factor(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of VEGF in diagnosing diabetes mellitus CME was 0.758(95%CI:0.669-0.834).The AUC of the combined application of diabetes duration,HbA1c,eGFR and VEGF in the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus CME was 0.916(95%CI:0.877-0.941),which was significantly higher than that of the application of VEGF alone(P＜0.05).The VEGF level was negatively correlated with the corrected visual acuity[0.34(0.24,0.44)]in patients with diabetic CME,and positively correlated with the detection of cystoid macular edema[3(2,5)]and FAZ non-roundness index[1.16(1.08,1.20)](rs were 0.771,0.700,respectively,P＜0.05).Conclusion Serum VEGF levels are closely related to the onset and severity of CME,and which can be used as a reliable reference index for the diagnosis of CME.

AIM:To investigate the mechanism through which aerobic exercise improves inflammatory senes-cence in SAMP8 mice via Janus kinase 3(JAK3)-signal transducer and activator of transcription 5α(STAT5α)signaling pathway and to provide novel insights for anti-inflammatory aging interventions.METHODS:Sixteen 28-week-old SAMP8 mice were randomly divided into model(Mod)group and exercise(Exe)group,with 8 mice in each group.Addi-tionally,8 senile SAMR1 mice served as control(Con)group.The mice in Exe group underwent an 8-week aerobic training regimen on a treadmill.We monitored the changes in hair quality and body weight,immune organ indexes,histomorpho-logical alterations in immune organs,the expression levels of spleen aging marker P16,and the serum and spleen levels of inflammatory factors[tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1β(IL-1β)]and aging indicator IL-2.Moreover,we examined the alterations in the mRNA and protein expression of IL-2,JAK3 and STAT5α in the spleen.RESULTS:(1)Compared with Con group,the mice in Mod group exhibited decreased hair luster and volume,with some instances of alopecia areata,increased body weight,markedly reduced spleen and thymus indexes,evident atrophy and senescence of immune organs,and markedly decreased concentration of IL-2 in the serum and spleen.The expression of P16 in the spleen,and the serum and spleen levels of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β were significantly increased.The mRNA expression of IL-2 and IL-2 receptor subunit gamma(IL-2RG)in the spleen was markedly decreased,whereas that of JAK3 and STAT5α was markedly increased.Furthermore,the protein expression of IL-2 in the spleen was markedly de-creased,whereas that of STAT5α and JAK3 was markedly increased.(2)Compared with Mod group,the mice in Exe group showed relatively vigorous hair growth and better hair luster,lower body weight,markedly increased spleen and thy-mus indexes,and delayed immune organ aging.The concentration of IL-2 in the serum and spleen was markedly in-creased,while the expression of P16 in the spleen was markedly decreased.The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the serum and spleen were markedly decreased.The mRNA expression of IL-2 and IL-2RG in the spleen was markedly increased,whereas that of JAK3 and STAT5α was markedly decreased.The protein levels of IL-2 were markedly increased,whereas those of STAT5α and JAK3 were markedly decreased.CONCLUSION:Aerobic exercise can delay inflammatory aging in mice possibly through the JAK3-STAT5α signaling pathway.

Objective To develop the Ego Depletion Scale for Type 2 Diabetes Patients and evaluate its reliability and validity,and to provide a specific assessment tool for evaluating ego-depletion in self-management.Methods Guided by the self-control strength model,the initial scale was constructed through literature review,semi-structured interviews,2 rounds of expert consultation,and a pilot survey.A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 460 patients with Type 2 Diabetes from the endocrinology department of a tertiary hospital in Wuhan,Hubei Province,between April and July 2024.They were randomly divided into 2 subsets for exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis.Results A total of 451 valid questionnaires were collected.Exploratory factor analysis extracted 6 common factors,with a cumulative variance contribution of 73.231％.In confirmatory factor analysis,an item was deleted due to failing to meet the standardized loading value criterion.The revised Ego Depletion Scale for Type 2 Diabetes Patients comprised 6 dimensions and 22 items.The total Cronbach's α coefficient was 0.911;split-half reliability was 0.744;the content validity index was 0.860.Correlation coefficients between the total score and scores of each dimension of the scale and the total score of the Self-Regulatory Fatigue Scale ranged from 0.558 to 0.946(P＜0.001).Conclusion The scale exhibits robust reliability and validity,serving as a scientifically instrument for assessing ego depletion in patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Objective To assess the motor function of school-aged children with congenital muscular torticollis(CMT),and analyze the spatiotemporal parameters of their walking motion as well as the kinematic parameters of the trunk and lower limbs,so as to explore the potential long-term impact of CMT on the growth and development of children.Methods Using three-dimensional(3D)gait analysis technology,the gait of children with CMT was evaluated in detail and compared with that of normal children.The motion angles and ranges of the trunk,pelvis,hip,knee,and ankle joints,along with spatio-temporal parameters,were analyzed.Thirty-one children with CMT aged 6-12 years were recruited into the torticollis group,and 31 normal children of the same age range were included in the control group.The data of the torticollis group were divided into the healthy side and the affected side based on the side of the torticollis.Statistical analysis was performed among the three groups to calculate the differences in kinematic and spatio-temporal parameters.Results Compared with nomal children of the same age in the control group,significant differences were observed in the affected and unaffected sides of the torticollis group in terms of stride length,gait speed,percentage of support phase time,average ankle inversion angle during the swing phase,average ankle inversion angle during the support phase,average foot orientation angle during the support phase,average ankle internal rotation angle relative to the tibia during the stance phase,average knee valgus angle during the stance phase,average shoulder joint elevation,and shoulder joint height at landing.Specifically,the torticollis group had significantly lower stride length,gait speed,ankle inversion angle,knee valgus angle,and foot eversion angle in both the affected and unaffected sides compared to the control group,while the percentage of support phase time and the internal rotation angle of the foot relative to the tibia during the stance phase were higher than those in the control group.Conclusions For school-aged children with CMT,there are still residual manifestations of overall motor development abnormalities.These abnormalities also affect the non-affected side.Children with CMT have a relatively high risk of developing uneven shoulders,their overall walking efficiency is lower than that of normal children of the same age,and they exhibit lower limb motor abnormalities such as insufficient ankle joint stability.

Objective:To observe the application value of Yifei Fumai Tang in the treatment of difficulty offline and intensive care unit-acquired weakness(ICU-AW).Methods:Used random number table method,60 patients with difficulty offline and ICU-AW who were admitted to our hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were divided into control group(received conventional Western medicine comprehensive treatment,n=30)and study group(received Yifei Fumai Tang treatment in addition to the control group,n=30).Medical Research Council(MRC),Barthel Index(BI)scores,clinical indicators(total mechanical ventilation time,weaning success rate,secondary intubation rate,ICU stay,and mobilization time),diaphragm thickness,diaphragm mobility,and incidence of adverse reactions between two groups were compared.Results:Compared with the control group at 7 d after treatment and 14 d after treatment,the MRC and BI scores in the study group were higher(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,the study group had lower rate of secondary intubation rate,shorter total mechanical ventilation time,ICU stay time,and mobilization time,higher weaning success rate,and greater diaphragm thickness,diaphragm mobility(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Yifei Fumai Tang combined with Western Medicine in the treatment of Difficulty Offline and ICU-AW,can effectively improve the prognosis of patients,shorten total mechanical ventilation time,ICU stay,mobilization time,increase weaning success rate,and improve respiratory function.

Objective:To report the nationwide surveillance results of pathogenic profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of Gram-positive bloodstream infections in China in 2023.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-posttive bacteria from blood cultures were collected in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System（BRICS）during January to December 2023. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed using the dilution method recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. Statistical analyses were conducted using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software.Results:A total of 4 385 Gram-positive bacterial isolates were obtained from 60 participating center. The top five pathogens were Staphylococcus aureus（ n=1 544，35.2%），coagulase-negative Staphylococci（ n=1 441，32.9%）， Enterococcus faecium（ n=574，13.1%）， Enterococcus faecalis（ n=385，8.8%），and α-hemolytic Streptococci（ n=187，4.3%）. The prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus（MRSA）and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci（MRCNS）was 26.2%（405/1 544）and 69.8%（1 006/1 441），respectively. Notably，all Staphylococci remained susceptible to glycopeptide or daptomycin. Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated excellent susceptibility（>97.0%）to cephalobiol，rifampicin，trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole，linezolid，minocycline，tigecycline，and eravacycline. No Enterococcus exhibiting resistance to linezolid were detected. Glycopeptide resistance was uncommon but more frequent in Enterococcus faecium（resistance to vancomycin and teicoplanin：both 1.7%）compared to Enterococcus faecalis（both 0.3%）. The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS exhibited significant regional variations across the country（ χ2=17.674 and 148.650，respectively，both P<0.001）. No vancomycin-resistant Enterococci were detected in central China. Institutional comparison demonstrated higher prevalence of MRSA（ χ2=14.111， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.828， P=0.028）in provincial hospitals than that in municipal hospitals. Socioeconomic analysis identified elevated detection rates of both MRSA（ χ2=18.986， P<0.001）and MRCNS（ χ2=4.477， P=0.034）in less developed regions（per capita GDP

Objective:To report the results of bacterial resistant investigation collaborative system（BRICS）on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-negative bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2023，and provide reference for clinical tretment of bloodstream infections and prevention and control of bacterial resistance.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-negative bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of BRICS were collected during January 2023 to December 2023. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute（CLSI）. WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 were used to analyze the data.Results:During the study period，11 492 strains of Gram-negative bacteria were collected from 60 hospitals，of which 10 098（87.9%）were Enterobacterales and 1 394（12.1%）were non-fermentative bacteria. The top 5 bacterial species were Escherichia coli（50.0%）， Klebsiella pneumoniae（26.1%）， Pseudomonas aeruginosa（5.1%）， Acinetobacter baumannii complex（5.0%）and Enterobacter cloacae complex（4.1%）. The ESBL-producing rates in Escherichia coli， Klebsiella pneumoniae and Proteus mirablilis were 46.8%（2 685/5 741），18.3%（549/2 999）and 44.0%（77/175），respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli（CREC）and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae（CRKP）were 1.3%（76/5 741）and 15.0%（450/2 999）；32.9%（25/76）and 78.0%（351/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to ceftazidime/avibactam combination，respectively. 94.7%（72/76）and 90.2%（406/450）of CREC and CRKP were sensitive to aztreonam/avibactam combination. Furthermore，57.9%（44/76）and 79.1%（356/450）were sensitive to imipenem/relebactam combination. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii（CRAB）complex was 64.6%（370/573），while more than 80.0% of CRAB complex was sensitive to tigecycline，eravacycline and polymyxin B. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa（CRPA）was 17.0%（99/581）. There were differences in the composition ratio of Gram-negative bacteria in bloodstream infections and the prevalence of important Gram-negative bacteria resistance among different regions in China，with statistically significant differences in the prevalence of CREC，CRKP，CRPA and CRAB complex（ χ2=10.6，28.6，10.8 and 19.3， P<0.05）. The prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia coli， CREC，CRAB complex and CRKP were higher in provincial hospitals than those in municipal hospitals（ χ2=12.5，9.8，12.7 and 57.8，all P<0.01）. Conclusions:Gram-negative bacteria are the main pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China，and Escherichia coli is ranked in the top，while the trend of Klebsiella pneumoniae increases continuously with time. CRKP infection shows a slow upward trend，CREC infecton maintains a low prevalence level，and CRAB complex infection continues to exhibit a high prevalence rate. The composition and resistance patterns of pathogens causing bloodstream infections vary to some extent across different regions and levels of hospitals in China.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.
