Objective:
To evaluate the effect of weight monitoring feedback intervention among primary school students, so as to provide the evidence for strengthening children's weight management.
Methods:
In October 2023, students from grades four to six in a primary school in Hangzhou City were selected and randomly assigned to a control group and an intervention group on a class-by-class basis. The included primary school students had their height and weight measured at a fixed time each week, and the results were fed back to their parents in the form of cards. The cards for the control group contained knowledge about healthy lifestyles, while those for the intervention group additionally included information on body mass index (BMI), BMI grouping, and BMI ranking. Overweight and obesity were determined according to the age- and gender-specific criteria in the Screening for Overweight and Obesity among School-aged Children and Adolescents. After a 9-month intervention period, the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity and lifestyle behavior data between the two groups before and after the intervention were compared by a generalized linear mixed model, in order to assess the effectiveness of the weight monitoring information feedback intervention.
Results:
The intervention group consisted of 368 students, including 208 boys (56.52%) and 160 girls (43.48%). The majority of students were 11 years, with 153 students accounting for 41.58%. The prevalence rate of overweight and obesity was 24.18%. The control group had 324 students, with 180 boys (55.56%) and 144 girls (44.44%). The predominant age was also 11 years, with 128 students accounting for 39.51%. The prevalence rate of overweight and obesity was 25.31%. Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender, age, prevalence rate of overweight and obesity, eating habits, exercise situation, and sleep patterns (all P>0.05). After the intervention, there were significant interactions between group and time for the prevalence rate of overweight and obesity, the frequency of moderate-intensity exercise per week, and adequate sleep in the two groups (all P<0.05). The prevalence rate of overweight and obesity in the intervention group (OR=0.461, 95%CI: 0.252-0.845) was lower than that in the control group. The proportions of students in the intervention group who engaged in moderate-intensity exercise ≥4 times per week (OR=1.315, 95%CI: 1.033-1.675) and had adequate sleep (OR=1.402, 95%CI: 1.049-1.875) were higher than those in the control group.
Conclusion
Weight monitoring feedback can reduce the incidence of overweight and obesity among primary school students and has a certain improving effect on lifestyle behaviors such as exercise and sleep.

The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) myocardial infarction (MI) unit is a standardized, regulated, and continuous integrated care unit guided by TCM theory and built upon existing chest pain centers or emergency care units. This unit emphasizes multidisciplinary collaboration and forms a restructured clinical entity without altering current departmental settings, offering comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services with full participation of TCM in the treatment of MI. Its core medical model is patient-centered and disease-focused, providing horizontally integrated TCM-based care across multiple specialties and vertically constructing a full-cycle treatment unit for MI, delivering prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation during the acute, stable, and recovery phases. Additionally, the unit establishes a TCM-featured education and prevention mechanism for MI to guide patients in proactive health management, reduce the incidence of myocardial infarction, and improve quality of life.

As an important abdominal surgical treatment, enterostomy holds a crucial position in the clinical management of digestive system disorders. After colostomy, the diversity and species richness of the intestinal flora in patients undergo significant alterations, which not only influence the surgical outcome but also directly associate with the occurrence and development of complications such as diversion colitis. The authors review the research progress on the changes of intestinal flora after enterostomy and its effect on complications, with the aim of avoiding the excessive use of enterostomy, optimizing the operation plan for enterostomy, preventing and reducing compli-cations, thereby providing a scientific basis and reference.

BACKGROUND:Endoscopic treatment of lumbar disc herniation has obvious advantages over traditional open surgery.Endoscopic surgery involves the implantation of a working cannula,which requires only partial bone removal,and there are no studies on the effects of two types of intraoperative foraminoplasty and laminoplasty on the mechanical properties of the local structure of the lumbar spine. OBJECTIVE:To compare the effect of foraminoplasty and laminoplasty on the biomechanical properties of disc and isthmus of the responsible segment. METHODS:The lumbosacral CT images of a healthy male volunteer were taken,and a finite element model M0 of the L3 to sacral vertebrae was established,on which the primary and secondary foraminoplasty models M1 and M2 of the L5/S1 and the laminoplasty model M3 were built.The same load was applied to compare the intervertebral motion range,disc Von Mises stress and equivalent stress characteristics of L5 vertebral isthmus with each model. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with M0,M1 and M2 motion range in L5/S1 segment did not change significantly in all directions;M2 overall motion range increased by 8.60%in flexion;M3 increased by 8.23%and 8.26%in L5/S1 right bending and right torsion,and 5.39%and 5.67%in overall motion range in flexion and right bending,with no significant changes in motion range in the rest of working conditions.(2)Compared with M0,M1 showed no significant change in the extremes of Von Mises stress at L5/S1 disc;M2 increased 11.06%,12.50%,18.32%,and 15.48%in flexion,extension,left torsion,and right torsion;M3 increased 12.22%,19.54%,10.05%,and 9.97%in flexion,extension,left torsion,and right torsion,and the rest working conditions and L4/5 disc maximum Von Mises stress did not change significantly.(3)Compared to M0,the maximum Von Mises stress in the left isthmus of L5 of M1 increased by 12.43%in left bending,18.38%,13.29%,13.62%,and 40.00%in the right isthmus in extension,right bending,left torsion,and right torsion.The maximum Von Mises stress in the left isthmus of L5 of M2 increased by 38.87%,42.63%,16.95%,and 19.35%,and that in the right isthmus increased by 12.58%,33.70%,12.92%,and 17.42%in flexion,extension,left bending,and left torsion.The maximum Von Mises stress in the left isthmus of L5 of M3 increased 67.07%,78.14%,32.33%,62.94%,and 89.99%in flexion,extension,left and right bending,and right torsion.(4)The results suggest that foraminoplasty and laminoplasty have a small effect on spinal motion range;there is a mild increase in the extreme values of disc Von Mises stress in the segments operated by interbody laminoplasty and secondary foraminoplasty;there is no significant change in the extreme values of disc Von Mises stress in adjacent segments,and there is a significant increase in the Von Mises stress in the ipsilateral isthmus operated by the interbody laminoplasty model.
