Obesity and its related metabolic diseases have become a major global public health threat, and its rising incidence significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and other complications. Pancreatic lipase is a key enzyme that converts food-borne lipids into triglycerides and fatty acids, and the effective inhibition of its activity has become an important strategy for the treatment of obesity. This paper discusses the screening methods of pancreatic lipase inhibitors, and summarizes and reviews the basic principles, advantages and disadvantages and application status of traditional screening methods, modern new screening methods and virtual screening methods. In view of the problems faced by the screening methods of pancreatic lipase inhibitors, future research urgently needs to move towards a collaborative innovation path of multi-technology integration, intelligent screening and complex systematization of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to open up new research paradigms.

Objective:
To analyze the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure in the air and dyslipidemia among primary school students, in order to provide the evidencebased support for the prevention and control of chronic diseases in children.
Methods:
The random sampling method was used to select 625 students from two primary schools in Anhui Province and Tianjin City from May to June 2024. Based on the home address, the annual average exposure levels of PM2.5 were obtained in 3 years before investigation, 2 years before investigation, and the past year before investigation. Fasting blood samples were collected for the detection of total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol and lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol. Linear regression modeling was used to analyze the association between PM2.5 exposure and dyslipidemia among primary school students.
Results:
The rate of dyslipidemia among primary school students was 14.72% in the present study. The results of linear regression analysis showed that the TG increased by 0.019(95%CI=0.012-0.025),0.023(95%CI=0.016-0.030) and 0.021(95%CI=0.014-0.027) mmol/L for every 1 μg/m3 increase of PM2.5 in the past year before investigation, 2 years before investigation and 3 years before investigation respectively (P<0.05). The results of binary Logisitic analysis showed that the risks of dyslipidemia in primary school students were positively correlated with PM2.5 mass concentration in the past year before investigation, 2 years before investigation, and 3 years before investigation [OR(95%CI)=1.06(1.02-1.11), 1.06(1.01-1.12), 1.06(1.01-1.11), P<0.05].
Conclusions
PM2.5 exposure is associated with increased risk of dyslipidemia among primary school students. To protect the health of primary school students, effective measures should be taken to improve air quality.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic intestinal autoimmune disease, with clinical manifestations including abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucus and bloody stools, and its pathogenesis is complex. The classic prescription Xianglian pills (XLP) has been widely used in the clinical treatment of UC in recent years. It has few adverse reactions, good patient tolerance, and shows significant potential for clinical application. However, there is currently no comprehensive integration of evidence on its clinical research and molecular mechanisms. Through a systematic review of the clinical research and molecular mechanisms of XLP in the treatment of UC, it is found that XLP and its modified formulas, when used in combination with chemical drugs, can significantly improve the symptoms of UC patients and reduce intestinal inflammation, with superior efficacy compared to chemical drugs alone. Its mechanism of action involves regulating pan-apoptosis, immune response, signaling pathways (hypoxia-inducible factor-1α, nuclear factor-κB, etc.), intestinal flora, and repairing the intestinal mucosal barrier. Its medicinal materials, monomers and active components can also prevent the differentiation of helper T cells 17 and restore the balance of M1/M2 cells through regulating multiple pathways such as Wnt/β -catenin and Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription, thereby reducing intestinal damage in UC.

OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the effects of acupuncture at Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) on pain, anxiety, intrapartum blood loss, labor stage, and neonatal outcomes in primiparas.
METHODS:
One hundred primiparas were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (50 cases, 1 case was eliminated) and a control group (50 cases). The conventional obstetrical nursing was given in the control group. On the basis of the intervention in the control group, acupuncture was applied at bilateral Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) in the acupuncture group. The delivery mode and labor stage, the scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) for uterine contraction pain and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) before and after acupuncture, the intrapartum/postpartum blood loss and massive hemorrhage, as well as the neonatal Apgar score after 1, 5, and 10 min of birth, were compared in the two groups.
RESULTS:
The cesarean section rate was 4.1% (2/49) in the acupuncture group, which was superior to 10.0% (5/50) in the control group (P<0.05). In the acupuncture group, the time of latent phase of 2-cm cervical dilation, active phase, first and second stages of labor, and total labor stage was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.001), the intrapartum blood loss and massive hemorrhage rate were lower than those in the control group (P<0.001, P<0.05). After acupuncture, the VAS and HAMA scores were decreased compared with those before acupuncture in the acupuncture group (P<0.001), the VAS and HAMA scores were increased compared with those before acupuncture in the control group (P<0.001). In the acupuncture group, the VAS and HAMA scores after acupuncture were lower than those in the control group (P<0.001), the changes of the VAS and HAMA scores before and after acupuncture were larger than those in the control group (P<0.001). There were no statistical differences in neonatal Apgar scores between the two groups (P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Acupuncture at Hegu (LI4), Taichong (LR3) and Sanyinjiao (SP6) can effectively alleviate the pain and anxiety, shorten the labor stage, reduce the intrapartum blood loss and incidence rate of massive hemorrhage, and promote spontaneous delivery, thereby enhancing maternal comfort and safety in primiparas.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis of a patient suspected for Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS).
METHODS:
A adult male patient with aneurysmal dilation of the aortic root identified during the treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia at Anzhen Hospital of Capital Medical University in 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient were retrospectively collected. Peripheral blood samples were collected from the patient and his family members and subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES). Candidate variant was verified by bioinformatic analysis, with a focus on the genes associated with hereditary aortic aneurysms. Candidate variant was validated by Sanger sequencing. The online SpliceAI software was used for the prediction of protein function. The results, combined with information from public databases, were used to classify the pathogenicity of the candidate variant according to the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG). This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Beijing Anzhen Hospital (Ethics No. 2023163X).
RESULTS:
Imaging analysis revealed that the patient had aneurysmal dilation of the aortic root. Based on his clinical features and past history, a provisional diagnosis of LDS was established. WES revealed that the patient had harbored a heterozygous splice site variant c.206+2T>G in the SMAD3 gene (NM_005902). The variant was not reported in public databases and was predicted to be pathogenic by SpliceAI. Sanger sequencing showed that the variant was also present in the proband's mother, sister, nephew, and daughter, but not in his father. Based on the guidelines from the ACMG, the variant was classified as likely pathogenic (PVS1+PM2_Supporting).
CONCLUSION
The heterozygous splice site variant c.206+2T>G of the SMAD3 gene probably underlay the disease in this patient. Above discovery has enriched the mutational spectrum of LDS, which may facilitate delineation of the genotype-phenotype correlation and provide a basis for further risk stratification and personalized treatment of LDS.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between CHA 2DS 2-VASC score and the recurrence risk of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation. Methods:It was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 150 patients who underwent radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in Xingtai People′s Hospital from January 2017 to January 2021 were consecutively included in the study. According to the preoperative CHA 2DS 2-VASC score, patients were divided into high score group (≥3 points, n=90) and low score group (<3 points, n=60). Baseline clinical data was collected. All patients underwent circumferential pulmonary vein isolation, and those with atrial flutter before ablation also underwent tricuspid isthmus isolation. Holter and electrocardiogram examinations were performed at 3, 6 months and 1 year after ablation to evaluate whether there was recurrence of atrial fibrillation. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the risk factors for recurrence of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation. Results:Among 150 patients 90 were males and 60 were females with a mean age of (64.0±3.6) years. There were no significant differences in age, sex, and proportion of hypertension, diabetes, chronic heart failure and stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), medication of antiarrhythmic and anticoagulant drugs between the two groups (all P>0.05). The longest duration of atrial fibrillation in the high score group was significantly longer than that in the low score group (26.0±6.1) hours vs. (10.0±2.1) hours, P<0.05). There were no patients with cardiac tamponade, atrial esophageal fistula and severe vascular puncture complications in the two groups. During the follow-up period, the recurrence rate in the high score group was significantly higher than that in the low score group (16.7% (15/90) vs. 8.3% (5/60), P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that CHA 2DS 2-VASC score≥3 was an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation ( HR=3.84, 95% CI: 1.87-7.89, P=0.02). Conclusion:CHA 2DS 2-VASC score≥3 is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation.
