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.

Among them, 423 were d≤0.5 cm. 319 cases (235 males and 507 females) with 0.5

Objective:To analyze the perioperative risks and prognosis in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) complicated by Graves' disease (GD) .Methods:Clinical data of 880 DTC patients who underwent radical thyroidectomy at the Department of General Surgery, the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between Jan. 2016 and Dec. 2022 was retrospectively collected. The cohort included 119 DTC patients with GD (hyperthyroid group) and 761 DTC patients with normal thyroid function without GD (normal group) . Use propensity score matching (PSM) was used to obtain cohorts with balanced baseline characteristics between the hyperthyroid and normal groups. Perioperative risks and prognos were compared between the two groups.Results:For perioperative risk comparison, after 1∶2 matching, 116 patients were included in the hyperthyroid group and 232 patients in the normal group. The operation time was longer in the hyperthyroid group compared to normal group ([107.26±30.27]min vs. [96.45±32.51]min, P=0.003) . There were no statistical differences between the two groups in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume or postoperative hospital stay ( P>0.05) . There were no statistical difference in the incidence of complications such as temporary or permanent hypoparathyroidism, temporary or permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and lymphatic leakage between the two groups. For prognostic comparison, after 1∶2 matching, 117 cases were included in the hyperthyroid group and 234 cases in the normal group. During follow-up period, 16 patients experienced DTC recurrence, including 5 cases in the hyperthyroid group and 11 cases in the normal group. There was no statistical difference in reccurence-free survival rates between the two groups (5-year RFS: 95.7% vs. 95.3%, P=0.907) . Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed GD was not the risk factor for DTC recurrence. Conclusions:With standardized and adequate preoperative preparation, the perioperative risks of DTC patients complicated by GD were not increased compared to patients without GD. Additionally, GD does not increase the risk of postoperative tumor recurrence in DTC patients.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of endoscopic retrograde appendicitis therapy (ERAT) for pediatric acute appendicitis. Methods Thirty-five pediatric patients with acute simple appendicitis admitted between June 2021 and November 2023 were selected as study subjects. Relevant perioperative data including clinical manifestations, diagnostic and therapeutic processes, as well as treatment and follow-up outcomes were collected. Results All 35 patients successfully underwent ERAT with an operation time ranging from 24 to 75 min. Intubation of the appendiceal lumen was successful in all patients, with pus flushed out or stones removed. After contrast administration and flushing, 16 patients were found to have pus only in the appendiceal lumen with no appendicoliths, while 19 patients had both pus and visible appendicoliths with diameters ranging from 2 to 5 mm. Of 19 patients, 17 appendicoliths were loose and 2 were well-formed. Abdominal pain symptoms were alleviated within a short period, with the average VAS score decreasing from 6.6 preoperatively to 1.7 at 3 hours postoperatively and to 0.2 at 24 hours postoperatively. There was a statistically significant difference in Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) scores before and after surgery (P < 0.05). During follow-up ranging from 3 to 11 months postoperatively, appendicitis recurred in one patient one week after ERAT, while no surgery-related complications occurred in the other patients during follow-up. Conclusion ERAT is a safe and effective endoscopic treatment for pediatric acute appendicitis, with advantages including reduced trauma and shorter recovery time. It is particularly suitable for pediatric patients with acute simple appendicitis complicated by appendicoliths, appendiceal lumen stenosis, or intra-appendiceal abscesses.

Objective:To investigate the effect of intravenous anesthesia on the detection rate of lesions in diagnostic gastroscopy.Methods:A total of 9 071 subjects who underwent diagnostic gastroscopy at the Digestive Endoscopy Center of Yangzhou University Affiliated Hospital from March 2021 to February 2022 were selected. Data were collected from the gastroscopy quality control system, including age, gender, examination physician, Helicobacter pylori infection, examination method, withdrawal time, number of images left, number of biopsies, biopsy site, gastroscopy diagnosis, pathological diagnosis, etc. They were divided into anesthesia group and general group based on the examination method, and propensity score matching (PSM) was performed on the two groups of subjects. Excluding confounding factors, the detection of lesion location and lesion type in two groups of subjects was analyzed; Simultaneously, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the detection rate of precancerous lesions and malignant tumors in the upper gastrointestinal tract.Results:After PSM, 1 655 subjects were included in both groups. In terms of lesion location, the detection rate of gastric body lesions in the anesthesia group was higher than that in the general group ( P<0.05), and the detection rate of esophageal lesions in the anesthesia group was lower than that in the general group ( P<0.05); In terms of lesion types, the detection rate of precancerous lesions such as gastric polyps, mucosal protrusions, mucosal atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia in the anesthesia group was higher than that in the general group (all P<0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that intravenous anesthesia was an independent influencing factor for the detection rate of precancerous lesions and malignant tumors in diagnostic gastroscopy ( OR=1.338, 95% CI: 1.070-1.674, P<0.05). Conclusions:Intravenous anesthesia is an independent influencing factor for the detection rate of precancerous lesions and malignant tumors in diagnostic gastroscopy, and can improve the detection rate of upper gastrointestinal lesions.
