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 evaluate the effects of a home-school collaborative intervention on improving sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs) consumption behaviors among primary school students in grades 3 to 5 in Chengdu, so as to provide evidence for SSBs prevention and control strategies among primary school students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of 2 006 students in grades 3 to 5 from 4 primary schools in Chengdu were enrolled from October to December 2024, including an intervention group ( n =769) and a control group ( n =1 237). The control group received routine psychological counseling, while the intervention group received a comprehensive home-school collaborative intervention integrating time perspective cultivation and family functioning improvement. A two level linear mixed effects model was used to analyze the net intervention effect, and the EBICglasso algorithm was used to construct variable association networks to identify core intervention targets. Results: After adjusting for confounders and clustering effects, the intervention significantly reduced the weekly frequency of SSBs consumption (decreased from baseline by 1.29 in the intervention group, 95% CI =-1.84 to -0.73; by 0.84 in the control group, 95% CI =-1.21 to -0.46; interaction P =0.01, Cohen s d=-0.16), improved SSBs consumption behavioral intention (decreased from baseline by 0.62 in the intervention group, 95% CI =-1.26 to -0.02; by 0.14 in the control group, 95% CI =-0.57 to 0.29; interaction P =0.02, Cohen s d =-0.15) and increased family functioning level (increased from baseline by 0.34 in the intervention group, 95% CI =-0.16 to 0.85; decreased by 0.08 in the control group, 95% CI =-0.42 to 0.25; interaction P =0.01, Cohen s d =0.17). A permutation test with 1 000 iterations showed no statistically significant difference in global network strength between the two groups ( P =0.19), whereas the differences in overall network structure and maximum edge weight were both statistically significant (all P <0.05), with present hedonistic time perspective, SSBs consumption attitude and behavioral intention identified as the core intervention targets. Conclusion The comprehensive home-school collaborative intervention effectively reduces SSB consumption frequency among primary school students and improves behavioral intention and family functioning.

With the widespread adoption of low-dose CT screening and the extensive application of high-resolution CT, the detection rate of sub-centimeter lung nodules has significantly increased. How to scientifically manage these nodules while avoiding overtreatment and diagnostic delays has become an important clinical issue. Among them, lung nodules with a consolidation tumor ratio less than 0.25, dominated by ground-glass shadows, are particularly worthy of attention. The therapeutic challenge for this group is how to achieve precise and complete resection of nodules during surgery while maximizing the preservation of the patient's lung function. The "watershed topography map" is a new technology based on big data and artificial intelligence algorithms. This method uses Dicom data from conventional dose CT scans, combined with microscopic (22-24 levels) capillary network anatomical watershed features, to generate high-precision simulated natural segmentation planes of lung sub-segments through specific textures and forms. This technology forms fluorescent watershed boundaries on the lung surface, which highly fit the actual lung anatomical structure. By analyzing the adjacent relationship between the nodule and the watershed boundary, real-time, visually accurate positioning of the nodule can be achieved. This innovative technology provides a new solution for the intraoperative positioning and resection of lung nodules. This consensus was led by four major domestic societies, jointly with expert teams in related fields, oriented to clinical practical needs, referring to domestic and foreign guidelines and consensus, and finally formed after multiple rounds of consultation, discussion, and voting. The main content covers the theoretical basis of the "watershed topography map" technology, indications, operation procedures, surgical planning details, and postoperative evaluation standards, aiming to provide scientific guidance and exploration directions for clinical peers who are currently or plan to carry out lung nodule resection using the fluorescent microscope watershed analysis method.

Objective:To analyze the expression of tumor-associated transmembrane protein 61 (TMEM61) in cholangiocarcinoma tissues and its influence on prognosis and immune infiltration, as well as the effect on the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells.Methods:In the cholangiocarcinoma gene chip dataset (TCGA-CHOL), differentially expressed genes between cholangiocarcinoma tissues and normal bile duct tissues were screened, and the upregulated TMEM61 gene was selected for further analysis. Based on the TMEM61 expression, cholangiocarcinoma patients higher than the median value were classified as the high-expression group ( n=17), and those lower than the median value were classified as the low-expression group ( n=18). The Kaplan-Meier survival curve was plotted. Functional and pathway enrichment analyses were conducted on differentially expressed genes related to TMEM61, and the correlations between TMEM61 expression and immune cells and immune molecules were respectively analyzed. The expression level of TMEM61 in cholangiocarcinoma tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemistry; The effect of TMEM61 expression on the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells was detected by Western blotting, CCK-8, clone formation assay, etc. Results:Compared with normal tissues, the expression of TMEM61 mRNA in cholangiocarcinoma tissues was significantly upregulated ( t=18.31, P<0.001). The overall survival rate of patients in the high-expression group of TMEM61 was significantly lower than that in the low-expression group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=7.23, P=0.007). The differentially expressed genes related to TMEM61 were involved in cell proliferation, cell cycle and DNA replication, etc. Compared with normal tissues, regulatory T cells ( t=10.21, P<0.001) and M0-type macrophages ( t=5.89, P=0.008) were significantly increased in cholangiocarcinoma tissues. Plasma cells ( t=7.34, P=0.002), γδT cells ( t=9.87, P<0.001), and M2-type macrophages ( t=11.53, P<0.001) were significantly decreased in cholangiocarcinoma tissues. The expression of TMEM61 was correlated with neurociliary protein 1, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 15 and B7 homologous protein 3 (all P<0.05). The proportion of positive staining area of TMEM61 protein in normal tissues was (10.15±2.27) %, and that in cholangiocarcinoma tissues was (69.43±11.66) %. The difference was statistically significant ( t=14.97, P<0.001). Inhibition of TMEM61 expression led to a decrease in the number of cholangiocarcinoma cell clones and proliferation activity, and the differences were statistically significant (both P<0.01). Conclusion:The expression of TMEM61 is elevated in cholangiocarcinoma tissues and is associated with poor prognosis. The abnormally high expression of TMEM61 affects the infiltration of immune cells and promotes the proliferation of cholangiocarcinoma cells. TMEM61 is expected to become a potential biomarker for the prognosis assessment of cholangiocarcinoma.

Objective To investigate the clinical relevance and diagnostic or prognostic value of ST3β-galactoside α-2, 3-sialyltransferase 1 (ST3GAL1) in glioma and to confirm its role in promoting malignant phenotypes. Methods Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we analyzed the correlation between ST3GAL1 expression levels in glioma and clinical parameters to evaluate its diagnostic and prognostic value. The impact of ST3GAL1 on malignant phenotypes of glioma cells-including proliferation, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, and invasion was further validated through ST3GAL1 knockdown experiments. Results The expression level of ST3GAL1 was significantly higher in glioma tissues compared to healthy brain tissues and showed a strong correlation with clinical characteristics of glioma patients. Survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve demonstrated that ST3GAL1 could serve as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for glioma. Knockdown of ST3GAL1 suppressed proliferation, invasion, and migration capabilities of glioma cell lines, and induced G1-phase cell cycle arrest. Conclusion ST3GAL1 promotes malignant phenotypes in glioma and plays a critical role in its malignant progression, suggesting its potential as a biomarker for glioma diagnosis and prognosis.

Zebrafish larvae are useful for identifying chemicals against lateral line (LL) hair cell (HC) damage and this type of chemical screen mainly focuses on searching for protectors against cell death. To expand the candidate pool of HC protectors, a self-built acoustic escape response (AER)-detecting system was developed to apply both low-frequency near-field sound transmission and AER image acquisition/processing modules. The device quickly confirmed the changed LL HC functions caused by most known ototoxins, protectors, and neural transmission modifiers, or knockdown of LL HC-expressing genes. With ten devices wired in tandem, five 'hit' chemicals were identified from 124 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors to partially restore cisplatin-damaged AER in less than a day. AS2863619, ribociclib, and SU9516 among the hits, protected the HCs in the mouse cochlea. Therefore, using free-swimming larval zebrafish, the self-made AER-detecting device can efficiently identify compounds that are protective against HC damage, including cell death and loss-of-function.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is the main subtype of stroke, caused by impaired blood supply to the brain. Timely restoration of blood perfusion is crucial for improving prognosis. A growing number of studies have shown that inflammatory markers and blood biomarkers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), have predictive effects on the prognosis of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in ischemic stroke. This article summarizes the research progress of inflammatory markers related to the prognosis of IVT in AIS, aiming to early identify adverse prognosis (such as early neurological deterioration, END) in patients undergoing IVT, conduct risk stratification for patients, formulate precise and effective treatment plans, and reduce related complications.

Objective:To summarize the surgical strategies and to evaluate the clinical outcomes of up-per urinary tract reconstruction in patients with stone-related ureteral strictures.Methods:This retro-spective study included 71 patients diagnosed with ureteral strictures secondary to urinary stones who un-derwent upper urinary tract reconstructive surgery at Peking University First Hospital between March 2014 and November 2023.Patient data were collected,including demographic characteristics,clinical presen-tation,laboratory results,imaging findings,surgical procedures,and follow-up outcomes.Ureteral stric-tures were classified according to anatomical location into upper,middle,lower,or multiple segments.Surgical procedures were carried out depending on the stricture characteristics.Surgical success was de-fined as resolution or improvement of clinical symptoms,radiographic improvement or stabilization of hy-dronephrosis,and maintenance of normal and stable renal function.Results:Among the 71 patients,36(50.7％)had strictures in the upper ureter,9(12.7％)in the middle ureter,15(21.1％)in the lower ureter,and 11(15.5％)had multifocal ureteral strictures.The median stricture length was 5.0 cm(interquartile range:3.0-15.0 cm).Surgical approach selection was individualized based on the location and extent of the stricture.For upper ureteral strictures,the most frequently employed techniques were oral mucosal graft ureteroplasty(13/36,36.1％)and appendiceal flap ureteroplasty(8/36,22.2％).Other options included ureteroureterostomy and ileal ureter replacement for longer or more complex strictures.In middle ureteral strictures,treatment was stratified by length:balloon dilation(1/9,11.1％)and ureteroureterostomy(1/9,11.1％)were applied in shorter strictures,while oral mucosal graft ureteroplasty(3/9,33.3％)and ileal ureter replacement(4/9,44.4％)were reserved for longer segments.For lower ureteral strictures,ureteral reimplantation into the bladder was the most common approach(10/15,66.7％),often combined with a psoas hitch or Boari flap when necessary.All the patients with multiple segmental strictures underwent ileal ureter replacement due to the extensive nature of the disease.The median follow-up period was 14.2 months(range:6.1-107.1 months).During follow-up,69 of 71 patients(97.2％)achieved surgical success.Conclusion:Stone-related ure-teral strictures present with considerable heterogeneity in terms of anatomical location,length,and com-plexity.Careful preoperative evaluation and individualized surgical planning are critical to successful re-construction.With appropriate selection of surgical methods,favorable long-term clinical outcomes can be achieved in the majority of patients.
