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.

Since the 1960s,with the rapid development of interventional radiology technology,liquid embolic agents have become important embolic materials for treating diseases such as tumors,bleeding,and vascular malformations.This article systematically introduces the types of commonly used liquid embolic agents,including iodized oil,hardening agents(such as absolute alcohol and polyvinyl alcohol),cyanoacrylates(such as NBCA and Glubran glue),and ethylene vinyl alcohols(such as Onyx),and analyzes in detail the embolic mechanisms,clinical applications,advantages,and operational limitations of each embolic agent.This article also introduces new liquid embolic agents that have emerged in recent years,including new polymeric agents(such as Magic GlueTM),precipitants(such as Squid and PHIL),phase-change agents(such as GPX)and temperature-sensitive hydrogels(such as TepushenTM),etc.These new materials have achieved significant improvements in biocompatibility,operational flexibility,and clinical efficacy.In addition,this article also discusses the application prospects of liquid embolic agents in controlling acute and chronic bleeding,comprehensive interventional therapy for tumors,treatment of complex vascular malformations,and treatment of visceral aneurysms.Finally,this article points out that future research on liquid embolic agents should focus on the development of new materials,the combination of multimodal treatment methods,the fusion of drug carriers,the application of artificial intelligence and image-guided technology,and personalized design of embolic agent,etc.so as to further enhance the clinical efficacy and safety of liquid embolic agents.

Objective:To evaluate the value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission computed tomography ( 18F-FDG PET/CT) myocardial metabolic image quality by the ratio of the maximum standard uptake value (M/B) of left ventricular myocardium to cardiac blood pool. Methods:The clinical data of 145 non diabetes patients with coronary heart disease who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January 2016 to August 2022 were retrospectively selected. All patients received intravenous injection of 18F-FDG for myocardial glucose metabolism imaging. According to the visual (qualitative) analysis, the image was divided into three categories: the best, the second best and the worst. Group A was the best image quality group, while Group B was the second best and the worst image quality group. The left ventricular myocardium, cardiac blood pool and descending aorta were semi-quantitatively analyzed, and M/B was calculated. Results:All 145 patients underwent image fusion analysis. Image visual (qualitative) analysis showed that the myocardial metabolic image quality of 111 patients was evaluated as the best (111 patients in Group A), 19 patients as the second best, and 15 patients as the worst (34 patients in Group B). The SUVmax value of the descending aorta in the two groups was lower than that of the left ventricle, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). The M/B value of group A was higher than that of group B, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For the evaluation of image quality and the reliability of image interpretation, M/B value may be a good evaluation index, which reduces the interference of image quality evaluation due to high 18F-FDG uptake in some heart blood pools (background), and improves the accuracy of evaluation of myocardial viability.

BACKGROUND: Perioperative treatment has become an increasingly important aspect of the management of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Small-scale clinical studies performed in recent years have shown improvements in the major pathological remission rate after neoadjuvant therapy, suggesting that it will soon become an important part of NSCLC treatment. Nevertheless, neoadjuvant immunotherapy may be accompanied by serious adverse reactions that lead to delay or cancelation of surgery, additional illness, and even death, and have therefore attracted much attention. The purpose of the clinical recommendations is to form a diagnosis and treatment plan suitable for the current domestic medical situation for the immune-related adverse event (irAE). METHODS: This recommendation is composed of experts in thoracic surgery, oncologists, thoracic medicine and irAE related departments (gastroenterology, respirology, cardiology, infectious medicine, hematology, endocrinology, rheumatology, neurology, dermatology, emergency section) to jointly complete the formulation. Experts make full reference to the irAE guidelines, large-scale clinical research data published by thoracic surgery, and the clinical experience of domestic doctors and publicly published cases, and repeated discussions in multiple disciplines to form this recommendation for perioperative irAE. RESULTS: This clinical recommendation covers the whole process of prevention, evaluation, examination, treatment and monitoring related to irAE, so as to guide the clinical work comprehensively and effectively. CONCLUSIONS Perioperative irAE management is an important part of immune perioperative treatment of lung cancer. With the continuous development of immune perioperative treatment, more research is needed in the future to optimize the diagnosis and treatment of perioperative irAE.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the clinical and serological characteristics in rehabilitated patients with common novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19).Methods:A total of 165 patients with common COVID-19 were enrolled in this retrospective study, in which clinical data was collected from February 23 to March 15, 2020 in Leishenshan Hospital(Wuhan, China). The patients with COVID-19 were divided into elderly group and non-elderly group according to their age, and the differences in the clinical and serological metabolic characteristics between these two groups were analyzed.Results:49.7% patients were over 60 years old. The most common clinical symptoms were fever, cough, and fatigue, followed by muscle soreness. Expectoration and digestive tract symptoms were rare. Dyspnea occurred more frequently in the elderly group than in non-elderly group(47.56% vs 25.30%, P<0.01). Hypertension was the most common concomitant disease(accounting for 29.1%)followed by diabetes. Hypertension was more common in the elderly group than in non-elderly group(41.46% vs 16.86%, P<0.01), but without significant difference in diabetes between the two groups. The counts of leukocytes and lymphocytes in all patients were in the normal range, and no difference was observed between the groups. The comparison of serological indicators showed that serum creatinine in the elderly group was higher than that in the non-elderly group( P<0.01)while serum albumin, glomerular filtration rate, and serum calcium were lower in the elderly group. After serum albumin correction, the levels of albumin corrected calcium in all patients were in the normal range, without significant difference between these two groups. There was no significant difference between the two groups when the length of hospital stay was taken as the index of outcome [(34.01±10.24) vs(30.97±10.51)d, P>0.05]. Conclusion:Fever, cough, and fatigue are the most common clinical symptoms in patients with ordinary COVID-19. The elderly are more likely to develop dyspnea. The blood routine and metabolic characteristics in patients with common COVID-19 are normal, but serum albumin level is more likely to decrease in elderly patients with COVID-19.

Objective:To explore the metabolic outcomes of type 2 diabetes patients with different durations after 1 year treatment under the standardized metabolic disease management model.Methods:(1)From September 2017 to September 2018, 345 type 2 diabetes patients in the Standardized Metabolic Management Center(MMC) of Shanghai General Hospital were recruited and included in this research. They were divided into newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes(duration≤1 year) and long-term groups(duration>1 year). The general characteristics, blood pressures, glycemic levels, lipids levels, control rates and comprehensive compliance rates(blood glucose, pressure and lipids all reached targets) were compared at baseline between 2 groups.(2)All patients underwent one year standardized management, and metabolic indicators mentioned above and control rates at the time were compared as well.Results:(1) At baseline, compared with long-term group, patients in newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes group were younger ( P<0.01), and 2 h blood glucose level after glucose loading were higher [(15.20±5.26 vs 13.68±4.94) mmol/L, P<0.01]. (2) After one year standardized management, body weight, blood pressure, glucose and lipids metabolism in all patients were significantly improved. Compared with patients in long-term group, newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients achieved better glycemic level [fasting blood glucose(6.27±1.56 vs 7.63±2.08) mmol/L, P<0.01; glycated hemoglobin(6.33±0.96 vs 7.23±1.37) %, P<0.01] , and had higher HOMA-β [(74.01±56.45 vs 40.17±37.07) %, P<0.01]. The glycemic control, blood pressure and blood lipids control rates in both groups increased significantly in one year. Comprehensive compliance rate of the whole patients increased from 5.80% to 24.06%. The metabolism indexes of the newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes group were better than those of the long-term group[comprehensive compliance rate: (24.73% vs 17.18%, P=0.087, glycemic control rate(84.62% vs 53.37%, P<0.01)]. Conclusion:Standardized metabolic disease management promoted the overall improvement in blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids levels in type 2 diabetes patients, especially in terms of blood glucose and those of the newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetes. In the future, we should focus on the early diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes, actively promote the MMC model and stress the integrated management of blood glucose, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels. We should pay more attention to the long-term patients, to improve their awareness and treatment compliance.

Objective:To explore the correlation between body mass index(BMI)and coronary flow reserve(CFR)in patients with chest pain and no obstructive coronary artery disease(NOCA).Methods:This study was a single-center retrospective cross-sectional study. Sixty-six patients with chest pain and NOCA on coronary angiography who underwent PET/CT quantitative myocardial blood flow measurements at TEDA International Cardiovascular Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from August 2018 to October 2019. Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to explore the correlation between BMI and CFR. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to CFR: coronary microvascular dysfunction(CMD)group(CFR<2.5)and control group(CFR≥2.5). Logistic regression analysis was applied to analyze the association of BMI with CMD.Results:The proportions of female, obesity, and overweight plus obesity in CMD group were higher than those in control group( P<0.05). The levels of BMI and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C)were higher in CMD group compared with control group( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that CFR was linearly correlated with BMI( r=-0.45, P<0.01), which still existed after adjusted by confounding factors using linear regression model( r=-0.371, P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that BMI was dependently associated with CMD after adjusted by gender, age, hypertension, diabetic mellitus, and LDL-C. The OR value of CMD was 4.46(95% CI 1.47-13.55, P<0.01)with BMI increased by 5 kg/m 2. Conclusion:In patients with chest pain and NOCA, higher BMI is an independent risk factor of CMD.

Retinal vascular function is complex, morphological structure varies from person to person, and is susceptible to vascular diseases and systemic vascular diseases. Its accurate segmentation is of great significance for disease diagnosis and identification. In this paper, a multi-scale matching filtering algorithm is proposed for the uneven size of retinal blood vessels. On the basis of the traditional singlescale Gaussian matching filter, multiscale Gaussian matched filters with two sizes are used to enhance grayscale images. Enhancement is performed, and the superimposed image is binarized using a twodimensional maximum entropy threshold segmentation algorithm. The algorithm is tested in the DRIVE database with sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 0.803, 0.959, 0.981, respectively. Comparing with the traditional algorithm, the algorithm has high sensitivity, fast running speed and rich details of segmentation results.
