Childhood obesity has become a global public health issue. Current research indicates that early life obesogen exposure has emerged as a significant risk factor for childhood obesity. While obesogens have been confirmed to influence the development and progression of childhood obesity through mechanisms such as endocrine disruption and epigenetic programming, controversies remain regarding the establishment of causal relationships, assessment of combined exposures, and validation of transgenerational effects in humans. In recent years, novel approaches including multi-omics technologies, exposome-based analysis, and multigenerational cohort studies have integrated dynamic biomarker monitoring with analyses of social-environmental interactions, offering new perspectives and methodologies for constructing a systematic "exposure-mechanism-outcome" research framework. This article reviews literature from PubMed and Web of Science up to August 2025 on the association between early life obesogen exposure and childhood obesity, summarizing evidence on the health effects of early life obesogen exposure, major exposure pathways and internal exposure assessment, interactions and amplifying effects of social and environmental factors, as well as the biological mechanisms underlying obesogen action. It further examines current research frontiers and challenges, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation for early prevention and precision intervention of childhood obesity.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Da Chaihutang （DCH） for the treatment of sepsis with Yang syndrome. MethodsA total of 70 patients suffering from sepsis with Yang syndrome were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group， with 35 cases in each group. They both received standard Western medicine treatment. The observation group was additionally given a dose of DCH， which was boiled into 100 mL and taken twice. The control group was additionally given an equal volume and dosage of warm water. The intervention lasted for three days. The 28-day all-cause mortality and the changes in the following indicators before and after intervention were compared between the two groups， including sequential organ failure assessment （SOFA）， acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ （APACHE Ⅱ） score，white blood cell （WBC），the percentage of neutrophils （NEU%），C-reactive protein （CRP），procalcitonin （PCT），alanine transaminase （ALT），aspartate transaminase （AST），total bilirubin （TBil），creatinine （Cr），blood urea nitrogen （BUN），acute gastrointestinal injury （AGI） grade，gastrointestinal dysfunction score （GDS），serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein （iFABP）， citrulline （CR），platelet （PLT），prothrombin time（PT），activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT），fibrinogen （Fib），international normalized ratio （INR），and D-dimer （D-D）. ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups regarding 28-day all-cause mortality. After the intervention，SOFA，WBC，PCT，and Cr were significantly decreased， and PLT was significantly increased in the control group （P<0.05）. SOFA，APACHE Ⅱ，NEU%，CRP，PCT，ALT，AST，Cr，BUN，AGI grade，GDS，and serum iFABP and CR were significantly improved in the observation group （P<0.05）. After the intervention，APACHE Ⅱ，PCT，AGI grade，GDS，and serum iFABP in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ，while CR and PLT were higher （P<0.05，P<0.01）. There were significant differences regarding the gap of SOFA，APACHE Ⅱ，AST，TBil，AGI grade，GDS，iFABP，CR， and PLT between the two groups （P<0.05，P<0.01）. There were slight differences regarding PT，APTT，Fib，INR，and D-D between the two groups，which were in the clinical normal range. ConclusionOn the basis of Western medicine， DCH helped to reduce sepsis severity and improved multiple organ dysfunction with high clinical efficacy and safety， but further research on its impact on the prognosis of patients with sepsis is still required.

Objective To prepare tubeimoside Ⅲ nanoemulsion(TBMⅢ-NE)and evaluate its adjuvant effect in vaccines.Methods TBMⅢ-NE was prepared using low-energy emulsification.Dynamic light scattering was used to characterize the particle size and polydispersity index of the obtained TBMⅢ-NE,and transmission electron microscopy(TEM)was employed to observe the morphology.CCK-8 assay was utilized to determine the cytotoxicity of TBMⅢ-NE on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDCs).The in vitro safety of TBMⅢ-NE was evaluated using a hemolysis assay.The ability of TBMⅢ-NE to promote the phagocytosis of antigens by DC2.4 cells was observed using confocal laser microscopy.After co-incubation of TBMⅢ-NE with BMDCs,the expression levels of CD40,CD86,MHC-Ⅰ,and CCR7 on the surface of BMDCs were detected using flow cytometry,and the levels of cytokines in the supernatant of BMDCs were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).After female BALB/c mice were immunized with the SARS-CoV-2 antigen RBD in combination with TBMⅢ-NE,ELISA was conducted to determine the serum levels of specific IgG,IgG2a,and IgG1 antibodies.The number of specific IFN-γ-secreting cells in mouse splenocytes was detected using enzyme-linked immunospot(ELISpot)assay.Results The prepared blank nanoemulsion(BNE)and TBMⅢ-NE were in a particle size of 25.46 and 25.89 nm,and a polydispersity index of 0.214 and 0.125,respectively.TEM displayed that TBMⅢ-NE was in uniform sphere and well dispersed.When the TBMⅢ-NE adjuvant was diluted by 400-fold,the survival rate of BMDCs was approximately 86%.Compared with free TBMⅢ,the hemolytic toxicity of TBMⅢ-NE was significantly reduced(P<0.01).TBMⅢ-NE promoted the phagocytosis of antigens by DC2.4 cells and significantly increased the expression of CCR7 on the surface of BMDCs(P<0.05),indicating its potential to promote more dendritic cells to effectively migrate to lymph nodes.TBMⅢ-NE also promoted the expression of IL-6 and IL-1β in the supernatant of BMDCs(P<0.05).When combined with RBD,TBMⅢ-NE significantly increased the levels of specific IgG,IgG2a,and IgG1 antibodies in mouse serum(P<0.01)and promoted the secretion of specific IFN-γ in splenocytes(P<0.01),indicating that TBM Ⅲ-NE could enhance specific cellular immune responses.Conclusion A stable and highly effective TBMⅢ-NE that can induce humoral and cellular immune responses is successfully prepared.

Objective To compare the efficacy of stenting in the treatment of idiopathic intracranial hypertension(IIH)complicated by different types of venous sinus stenosis(VSS).Methods The clinical data of 48 patients with IIH complicated by VSS,who received stenting therapy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University of China from January 2019 to September 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.According to the type of VSS,the patients were divided into intrinsic stenosis group(n=20)and the extrinsic stenosis group(n=28).The improvement of symptoms,Frisén grade of papilledema,lumbar puncture opening pressure(LPOP),trans-stenosis pressure gradient(△P)of VSS,and surgery-related complications were compared between the two groups.Results The mean age of the patients in the intrinsic stenosis group was greater than that of the patients in the extrinsic stenosis group(41.60 years vs.35.25 years,P=0.049).The length of the narrowed segment in the extrinsic stenosis group was 22.5 mm,which was significantly longer than 19.0 mm in the intrinsic stenosis group(P=0.007).The postoperative Frisén grade of papilledema in the extrinsic stenosis group was obviously lower than that in the intrinsic stenosis group(P=0.037).No statistically significant differences in the other clinical data existed between the two groups(all P＞0.05).After stenting,all of the median △P,mean LPOP,and median Frisén grade of papilledema were decreased significantly when compared with their preoperative values(all P＜0.001),and the postoperative 3-day median Frisén grade of papilledema in the extrinsic stenosis group was much lower(P=0.037).The patients were followed up for one year,the clinical symptoms of the patients in both groups were improved to varying degrees.At the time of discharge,the proportion of patients having no symptoms of papilledema in the extrinsic stenosis group was 57.1％,which was higher than 22.2％in the intrinsic stenosis group(P=0.049),and no statistically significant differences in the improvements of other symptoms existed between the two groups(all P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P=0.563).Conclusion Venous sinus stenting can effectively treat patients with IIH complicated by different types of VSS.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of medication and stenting in treating patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension complicated by venous sinus stenosis.Methods The clinical data of 74 patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension complicated by venous sinus stenosis,who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University of China from January 2020 to June 2023,were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into medication group(n=35,receiving drug therapy)and stenting group(n=39,receiving stent implantation therapy).Before and after treatment,lumbar puncture and fundus examinations were performed,and the postoperative improvements in intracranial pressure and papillary oedema were evaluated.The changes in the median papillary oedema Frisén grade and the average opening pressure of lumbar puncture were compared between the two groups during hospitalization period.The improvement degrees of the clinical symptoms determined at discharge,as well as at the 6 months and 12 months after discharge were compared between the two groups.The incidence of complications during the follow-up period in the two groups was recorded.Results The time interval from onset to treatment in the stenting group was longer than that in the medication group(2 months vs.one month,P=0.021),and the differences in the other baseline data between the two groups were not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).After treatment,different degrees of improvement were obtained in both groups(all P＞0.05).At the time of discharge,the degree of median papillary oedema in the stenting group was Frisén grade I,which was lower than Frisén grade Ⅱ in the medication group(P=0.011);the average opening pressure of lumbar puncture in the stenting group was 205.26 mm H2O,which was lower than 248.14 mm H2O in the medication group(P=0.002).The proportions of patients having no symptom or showing symptom improvement in the stenting group and in the medication group at the time of discharge were 74.4％and 45.7％respectively(P=0.017),which at the time of 6 months after discharge were 84.6％and 48.6％respectively(P=0.001)and at the time of 12 months after discharge were 87.2％and 57.1％respectively(P=0.004).No statistically significant difference in the incidence of complications existed between the two groups(10.3％and 8.6％respectively,P=1.000).Conclusion For the treatment of patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension complicated by venous sinus stenosis,stent implantation therapy is superior to medication therapy in quickly and effectively relieving papillary oedema,decreasing lumbar puncture opening pressure,and improving their corresponding symptoms and signs,with satisfactory patient's prognosis and clinical safety.

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.

As a new generation of time-of-flight mass spectrometry,multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MR-TOF-MS)has been increasingly applied in the fields such as nuclear physics,chemistry,and biology due to its ultra-high resolution and rapid analysis capabilities.However,the analytical performance of MR-TOF-MS largely depends on the ion bunch state entering the mass analyzer.In this study,a rectangular ion trap(RIT)was developed,designed and processed using printed circuit board technology,as an ion accumulating and focusing device for MR-TOF mass analyzer.Compared to traditional ion traps composed of two sets of planar electrodes,this RIT had higher voltage utilization efficiency,resulting in more efficient ion collection and focusing.The ions were cooled to a sufficiently small bunch for precise mass measurement with MR-TOF-MS mass spectrometry in only 1 ms of cooling time in the RIT,then orthogonally ejected to the MR-TOF mass spectrometer for mass analysis.Experimental results indicated that the working cycle,ion flux,and ion focusing state of the RIT fully met the requirements of the MR-TOF mass analyzer.When coupled with the MR-TOF mass analyzer,the RIT enabled MR-TOF-MS to achieve a mass resolution of 1.5×105.

For middle-aged and elderly patients with conditions such as spinal fractures and degenerative spinal diseases, spinal internal fixation is a core surgical procedure for reconstructing spinal stability, heavily relying on the biomechanical stability provided by pedicle screw systems. Whereas, these patients are often complicated by osteoporosis that can significantly compromise the stability of the bone-pedicle screw interface, leading to a marked increase in pedicle screw loosening and surgical failure rates. The bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique, which involves injecting bone cement into the vertebral body or screw trajectory to optimize the mechanical properties of the bone-pedicle screw composite, has been proven to significantly enhance fixation strength and effectively prevent screw-related failures, thereby reducing the incidence of internal fixation failure in high-risk populations undergoing spinal fusion. However, the widespread clinical application of this technique has faced challenges such as inaccurate clinical decision-making (indication and contraindication selection), non-standardized operative practices, and insufficient awareness of complication prevention, resulting in considerable variability in clinical outcomes and even severe complications. To address this, Prof. Luo Fei from First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University initiated the project and the Chinese Association Orthopaedic Surgeons organized relevant experts to develop the Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for bone cement-augmented pedicle screw technique ( version 2025), based on current evidence. The guidelines put forward 8 recommendations regarding the clinical value, scope of application, and operational standards of the technique, aiming to provide evidence-based medical support and technical standardization for clinical decision-making.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for moderate-to-severe coronary artery stenosis in the population of Tacheng,Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,and to construct and verify a nomogram prediction model for the degree of coronary artery ste-nosis.Methods We retrospectively selected 629 patients who were hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Department of Tacheng Peo-ple's Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023.Using R language software,the sociodemographic data,disease-related data,and va-rious laboratory indicators of the 629 patients were included in the initial screening of risk factors for use in the LASSO regression analysis using a random number table method.The 629 patients were divided into a training group(n=440)and a validation group(n=189)in a 7:3 ratio.Data from the training group were used for model construction,with the degree of coronary artery stenosis as the dependent variable,and the variables selected by LASSO regression as independent variables in the logistic regression model.The validation group was used for model validation.Based on the results of the logistic regression analysis,a visual nomogram for predicting the degree of co-ronary artery stenosis was constructed using R language software.The discriminability,calibration,and clinical utility of the model were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC),a calibration curve,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Age,non-Han ethnicity,hypertension,hyperlipidemia,and a history of cerebrovascular disease were risk factors for mode-rate-to-severe coronary artery stenosis and were included in the risk prediction model.The AUC of the training group and the validation group were 0.905(95％CI:0.790-0.863)and 0.864(95％CI:0.744-0.861),respectively.The predicted values of the calibration curve were consistent with the actual values(Brier scores of the training and validation group:0.03 and 0.14,respectively).The predictive per-formance of the model was good,and the DC A results indicated that the model had net clinical benefits.Conclusion The risk prediction model for coronary artery stenosis in the population of the Tacheng area constructed in this study has good predictive performance and can provide a simple,feasible,economical,and easy-to-promote evaluation tool for medical personnel to screen patients with moderate-to-se-vere coronary artery stenosis.

Objective To compare the efficacy of anticoagulation treatment(AT)alone and combining mechanical thrombectomy(MT)for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST).Methods Totally 150 patients with CVST were collected,including 90 underwent only AT(AT group)and 60 underwent MT+AT(combined group).The rate of venous sinus recanalization at discharge,the prognosis at discharge and 6,12 months after discharge(modified Rankin scale[mRS]score of 0 to 2 was considered as good prognosis)were compared between groups,and relative complications were recorded.Results At discharge,the rate of complete and partial recanalization of venous sinuses in combined group were both higher than that in AT group(both P＜0.001).No significant difference of the rate of good prognosis at discharge was found between groups(P=0.191),while 6 and 12 months after discharge,the rate of good prognosis in combined group were both higher than that in AT group(P=0.046,0.028).During the treatment and follow-up period,no significant difference of the incidence of complications was found between groups(5.00%[3/60]vs.11.11%[10/90],P=0.245).Conclusion Compared with AT alone,AT combining with MT could improve revascularization rate and prognosis of CVST without increasing the risk of complications.
