ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of overweight, obesity and central obesity among elderly residents in Xuhui District, and to analyze the epidemiological status of central obesity in elderly people with different body mass indexes. MethodsThe third round of health status and health service utilization monitoring data in Xuhui District was used. The information collected from questionnaire survey and physical examination were analyzed. SPSS 20.0 software was used for χ2 test, trend χ2 test and multinominal logistic regression analysis. Results5 096 survey subjects were included. The prevalence of overweight, general obesity, and central obesity in the residents aged 60 and above in Xuhui District were 34.3%, 6.5%, and 29.2%, respectively. There was gender difference in the rates of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among the residents. The overweight and central obesity rates in males were higher than those in females, while the obesity rate was lower than that in females (P<0.05). Multinominal logistic regression analysis showed that in comparison with the normal weight non-central obesity group drinking only at party (OR=1.729, 95%CI: 1.184‒2.525), and hypertension (OR=1.637, 95%CI: 1.305‒2.053), were highly associated with normal weight with central obesity. Aged 60‒ years (OR=1.589, 95%CI: 1.190‒2.120), aged 70‒ years (OR=1.763, 95%CI: 1.327‒2.342), male (OR=1.379, 95%CI: 1.134‒1.676), hypertension (OR=2.231, 95%CI: 1.878‒2.649), former smokers (OR=1.437, 95%CI: 1.027‒2.011), drinking at party only (OR=1.491, 95%CI: 1.107‒2.006), and drinking ≥3 times per week (OR=1.611, 95%CI: 1.116‒2.325), were highly associated with overweight combined with central obesity. Aged 60‒ years (OR=3.817, 95%CI: 2.251‒6.474), aged 70‒ years (OR=3.084, 95%CI: 1.838‒5.175), hypertension (OR=3.683, 95%CI: 2.753‒4.929), diabetes (OR=2.085, 95%CI: 1.511‒2.878), former smokers (OR=1.835, 95%CI: 1.043‒3.226), were highly associated with compound obesity. Central obesity was found in the elderly residents with different BMI categories, and the rate of central obesity increased with the increase of BMI grade. ConclusionThe prevalence of overweight, obesity and central obesity among the elderly aged 60 years and above in Xuhui District is not optimistic. Attention should be paid to the elderly under 80 years old who are with hypertension and/or diabetes, alcohol consumption, low educational level and not doing physical exercise. Especially for the central obesity population with normal BMI, measures should be taken to prevent and intervene the occurrence of obesity and related diseases.

By applying "homeostasis" to the study of the meridian and collateral system, the concept of meridian and collateral homeostasis has been proposed which refers to a balanced and stable state of meridian and collateral system, and plays an important role in maintaining body health and can provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Phenomics realizes the cross-scale correlation from micro-phenotypic data, such as genome, proteome, and metabolome, to macro-phenotypic data, such as physiological state, behavioral activities, and external manifestations. From the perspective of phenomics, this paper proposes a meridian and collateral homeostasis dynamic mapping model of "macroscopic signs and microscopic expression". This model combines macro signs such as the four examinations of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), biophysical indicators of acupoints, and micro expression information such as genes, proteins, and metabolism, and systematically investigates the relationship between meridian and collateral homeostasis and health and disease, thereby providing ideas and references for the identification of pre-disease states as well as precise diagnosis and treatment in TCM.

A teaching clinic is an outpatient clinic specialized for teaching, where trainees are responsible for medical activities such as medical history taking, physical examination, and diagnosis and treatment, under the assistance and guidance of teachers. Only a few hospitals in China have built up teaching clinics for standardized training of pediatric residents. This paper summarizes the experience in the operation management of the standardized residency training teaching clinic in Children's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine. The teaching clinic takes teaching as its core task, adheres to humanistic care, and follows the principle of hierarchical progression. Its operation involves organizational approval, preliminary arrangements, outpatient appointments, the implementation of teaching activities, and other processes, which are carried out under organizational management and quality management. We have explored a preliminary strategy for evaluating the teaching effects of teaching clinics, and proposed some suggestions for the future development of pediatric residency training teaching clinics such as increasing objective evaluation methods and increasing pediatric subspecialty teaching clinics.

Objective:A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of the ankle joint of marathon runners was constructed to simulate the changes of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injury on the stability of the ankle joint and the force distribution of talar talus cartilage during exercise.Methods:The 3D MRI images of the right ankle joint of one marathon runner were acquired and imported into Mimics software in DICOM format for preliminary 3D model reconstruction of the images. The boundary conditions and loads were loaded on the model using Ansys Workbench software, and the ankle joint forces were analyzed by Ansys Workbench for marathon runners in the sports condition, and four kinds of ankle LCL injury finite element models were established, i.e., the normal model of LCL, the injury model of anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), the injury model of AFTL merged with the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and the injury model of AFTL merged with the CFL and the posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL). The peak talus slide cartilage stress and its distribution were observed under the four models, and one-way ANOVA was used to compare the values of talus advancement, and the SNK- q test was used for two-by-two comparisons. Results:In the LCL normal model, the maximum stress peak of the talar slide was 0.21 MPa, which was mainly distributed in the junction area of the anterior medial (MA) and anterior lateral (LA) parts and part of the LA region. In ATFL injury, the peak stress of talar cartilage increased compared with the normal model, with a maximum value of 0.65 MPa, which was mainly distributed in the MA region. In ATFL combined with CFL injury, the peak stress increased, and the peak was mainly distributed in the MA region, and was shifted from the MA to the LA region. In ATFL combined with CFL and PTFL injuries, the peak cartilage stress in the talus slide was up to 2.29 MPa, and the maximum stress was mainly distributed in MA and LA, which had a comparable range of distribution. The anterior talar displacement values were (3.2±0.4), (3.4±0.4), (3.7±0.5), and (6.5±0.7) mm for normal LCL, AFTL injury, AFTL combined with CFL injury, ATFL combined with CFL, PTFL injuries, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( F=109.08, P<0.001). The anterior talar displacement of ATFL combined with CFL, PTFL injuries was larger than those of normal LCL, AFTL injury, and AFTL combined with CFL injury ( P<0.05). Conclusions:A 3D finite element model is successfully constructed based on 3D MRI of the ankle joint in marathon runners. The peak and range of cartilage stresses in the talar glide change during LCL injury, and the talar glide displaces anteriorly.

Objective:To investigate the changes of biventricular myocardial strain in amateur marathon runners using the cardiac MR feature tracking (CMR-FT) technique.Methods:Forty-one amateur marathon runners (marathon exercise group) and 20 age-matched healthy volunteers (control group) were recruited according to the inclusion criteria. After the kinematic parameters were obtained, all subjects underwent a CMR cine sequence imaging. The CMR images were post-processed using CVI42 software. The biventricular function parameters including end-diastole/end-systolic volume (EDV/ESV), end-diastole/end-systolic volume index (EDVI/ESVI), end-diastole/end-systolic myocardial mass (MMD/MMS), end-diastole/end-systolic myocardial mass index (MMDI/MMSI), stroke volume and index (SV/SVI), cardiac index (CI) and ejection fraction (EF), as well as the biventricular myocardial strain parameters including global radial/circumferential/longitudinal strain (GRS/GCS/GLS), global radial/circumferential/longitudinal diastolic strain rate (GRSDr/GCSDr/GLSDr) were measured and calculated. Demographic data, kinematic index, cardiac function and myocardial strain parameters were compared between the two groups.Results:Compared with the control group, the exercise group showed significant decrease heart rates ( P<0.001). It was found that the left ventricular function parameters (ESVI, MMD, MMDI, MMS, MMSI) and the right ventricular function parameters (EDVI, ESVI) of the exercise group were significantly higher than those of control group (all P<0.05); while the left ventricular strain parameters (GCS, GRSDr, GCSDr, GLSDr) and the right ventricular strain parameters (GRSDr, GLSDr) were of the exercise group were significantly lower than those of control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Amateur marathon runners have lower myocardial strain capacity and higher left ventricular myocardial mass. The ventricular diastolic strain rate may sensitively reflect the compensatory changes of ventricular function with the normal ejection fraction.
