This article reported a case of autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder type 22 caused by a heterozygous mutation in the ZBTB18 gene. At 24 +4 weeks of gestation, prenatal ultrasound indicated a short outer diameter of the fetal corpus callosum and bilateral ventricular dilatation. Whole-genome copy number variation analysis of the fetus showed no abnormalities. Whole exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing validation of the family revealed the fetus carried a c.1374_1383del(p.S459*) heterozygous mutation in the ZBTB18 gene (NM_205768.3), which was neither phenotypically present nor genotypically detected in the parents, suggesting a de novo mutation. Based on the clinical manifestations, the fetus was diagnosed with autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder type 22. After genetic counseling, the pregnant woman opted for termination of the pregnancy. This case highlights the correlation between prenatal ultrasonic detection of callosal dysgenesis and lateral ventricular enlargement and intellectual developmental disorders caused by gene mutations. Furthermore, it expands the mutation spectrum of the ZBTB18 gene, thereby facilitating prenatal diagnosis and genetic counseling.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of China′s DRG payment system reform(DRG reform) and its hierarchical relationship, for references for the in-depth promotion of China′s medical insurance payment reform.Methods:Relevant literature on DRG reform in China from databases such as CNKI, Wanfang Database, Pubmed, etc, were obtained. Content analysis method was used to extract the influencing factors of DRG reform. The correlation between each influencing factor was determined through expert discussion. An interpretive structural model(ISM) was constructed to analyze the hierarchical relationship of factors influencing DRG reform.Results:After analysis, the influencing factors(12) of DRG reform in China were included such as medical level, hospital management, and medical staff′s cognition and behavior. Among them, the local situation was the deep-level factor affecting DRG reform, 9 factors such as data quality assurance and policy design/implementation were the middle-level factors, and patients′ interests/needs and disease grouping were the surface-level factors.Conclusions:There were many influencing factors on the reform of China′s DRG payment system. It was suggested that relevant management departments in various regions should focus on the actual situation of the locality, take data quality and policy design and implementation as the key points of reform, formulate a scientific and reasonable DRG grouping scheme, safeguard the interests of patients, so as to promote the deepening of DRG reform.

Objective To assess the nutritional status in elderly patients with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) and reveal the key factors affecting the nutritional status. Methods A total of 310 elderly patients with CRI who received hospitalization treatment and outpatient follow-up in the hospital from January 2021 to June 2024 were selected as the investigation subjects. The nutritional status of patients was evaluated by mini-nutritional assessment (MNA) questionnaire, and the nutritional status and dietary structure of patients were comprehensively evaluated by anthropometric indicators [height, weight, body mass index (BMI), upper arm circumference, calf circumference], biochemical indicators [serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA), hemoglobin (Hb), transferrin (TF)] and 24-hour dietary review method. According to the investigation results of nutritional status, the patients were divided into good nutrition group (MNA score≥24 points), nutritional risk group (MNA score of 17-23.5 points) and malnutrition group (MNA score<17 points). Univariate analysis was adopted to screen the potential influencing factors of elderly CRI. Multivariate logistic regression model was applied to analyze the influencing factors of malnutrition in elderly CRI patients. Results Among the 325 questionnaires were distributed, but only 310 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.38%. Investigation results revealed that among the 310 patients, 29.35% (91 cases) had good nutritional status, and 42.26% (131 cases) had nutritional risk, and 28.39% (88 cases) had malnutrition. Univariate analysis indicated that there were statistical differences in BMI, CRI staging, serum ALB, PA, Hb, TF, protein intake and total calorie intake among the good nutrition group, the nutritional risk group and the malnutrition group (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that low BMI (OR=0.903, 95%CI: 0.867-0.941), high CRI stage (OR=1.091, 95%CI: 1.053-1.130), low serum ALB (OR=0.907, 95%CI: 0.867-0.948), PA (OR=0.918, 95%CI: 0.888-0.949), Hb (OR=0.944, 95%CI: 0.909-0.997), TF (OR=0.912, 95%CI: 0.874-0.952), insufficient protein intake (OR=0.924, 95%CI: 0.882-0.969) and insufficient total calorie intake (OR=0.938, 95%CI: 0.909-0.968) were influencing factors for malnutrition in elderly patients with CRI (all P<0.05). Drawing ROC curve of malnutrition in elderly patients with CRI according to the prediction probability of logistic regression model found that the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, 95%CI and Youden index were 0.976, 93.18%, 92.34%, 0.953-0.990 (P<0.05) and 0.855. Conclusion The incidence rate of malnutrition is high in elderly patients with CRI, and is mainly affected by factors such as low BMI, high CRI stage, low serum ALB, PA, Hb and TF levels and insufficient protein and total calorie intakes. In addition, logistic regression model has high predictive value and can provide a reference for early clinical identification of high-risk population with malnutrition among elderly patients with CRI.

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.
