However, data in China are very limited. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of EoE in Chinese adults at our medical center. <b>Methods:</b> We collected information, including clinical characteristics and endoscopic findings, relative to all cases of adult patients who met the pathological diagnostic criteria for EoE at our institution from January 2019 to May 2024. Patients diagnosed with reflux esophagitis (RE) were matched in a 1∶1 ratio based on age and sex, and comparisons were made between the two groups. <b>Results:</b> The overall detection rate of EoE in our hospital was approximately 0.05%, with a trend increasing yearly. In total, 61 patients met the diagnostic criteria for EoE, of whom 42 (68.9%) were male. The median age was 53 years. The clinical manifestations of EoE patients were diverse, with common symptoms including dysphagia, acid reflux, and upper abdominal pain. Serological examination revealed that 23.1% (9/39) of patients had increased absolute eosinophil counts. Allergic diseases were observed in 73.8% (45/61) patients. Most patients exhibited typical mucosal changes in the esophagus during endoscopy, the median EREFS score was 3 points. The most commonly administered treatment included proton pump inhibitors, and 13 patients received steroid treatment. During a follow-up period, 42 patients (68.9%) exhibited clinical symptom improvement or pathological remission. In comparison to Western countries, patients with EoE in China typically presented with milder disease severity and a more favorable prognosis. No significant differences were observed between younger and older adult groups regarding clinical symptoms, the proportion of comorbid allergic diseases, medications, or the rate of improvement (<i>P</i> for all>0.05). Additionally, patients with EoE more commonly presented with dysphagia (29.5% vs. 1.6%, <i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=15.96, <i>P</i><0.001), comorbid allergic diseases (73.8% vs. 13.1%, <i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=45.67, <i>P</i><0.001), increased eosinophil counts (23.1% vs. 3.3%, <i>χ</i><sup>2</sup>=7.61, <i>P</i><0.01), and a positive response to corticosteroids when compared to patients with RE. <b>Conclusions:</b> This study systematically determined the clinical characteristics of adult EoE patients in China. Compared to Western countries, patients from China typically presented with milder disease severity and a more favorable prognosis. No significant clinical manifestations or prognosis differences were observed between younger and older patients. EoE can be differentiated from RE based on symptoms, the presence of comorbid allergic diseases, and the degree of serum eosinophil infiltration. For patients suspected of EoE, endoscopic esophageal biopsy will facilitate early diagnosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":68309,"journal":{"name":"中华内科杂志","volume":"64 3","pages":"212-219"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with type 2 diabetes were selected from the data of genome-wide association studies as instrumental variables, with lumbar bone density and spinal fractures as the outcome variables. The inverse variance weighting method, weighted median method, and MR-Egger regression were applied to identify a causal relationship between type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis at the genetic level. Additionally, to analyze the impact of central obesity in the diabetic bone paradox, the waist-to-hip ratio was introduced as a new exposure variable, with type 2 diabetes and lumbar bone density as outcome variables, and the MR method was applied again to uncover the influencing factors. <b>Results:</b> The screening criteria were based on the three main assumptions of MR. Finally, 62 SNPs for type 2 diabetes and 241 SNPs for waist-to-hip ratio were included in the MR analysis. Using inverse variance weighting as the primary analysis, the causal association effect analysis indicated a causal relationship between type 2 diabetes and increased lumbar bone density (<i>OR</i>=1.047 6, <i>P</i>=0.007) and spinal fractures (<i>OR</i>=1.000 9, <i>P</i>=0.014). A causal relationship between waist-to-hip ratio and type 2 diabetes (<i>OR</i>=1.638 6, <i>P</i><0.001) was identified, indicating that the waist-to-hip ratio was a risk factor for type 2 diabetes and may have a causal association with increased lumbar bone density (<i>OR=</i>1.096 3, <i>P</i>=0.044). This suggests that the waist-to-hip ratio may indirectly affect the relationship between diabetes and osteoporosis. The MR-Egger intercept test showed no horizontal pleiotropy in this study. The leave-one-out analysis indicated that no single SNP had a significant impact on the overall results. Furthermore, the MR-pleiotropy residual sum and outlier (MR-PRESSO) test results did not detect any outlier SNPs. <b>Conclusion:</b> MR analysis identified a causal relationship between type 2 diabetes and increased lumbar bone density as well as a higher risk of spinal fractures, a paradox that may be related to central obesity.</p>","PeriodicalId":68309,"journal":{"name":"中华内科杂志","volume":"64 3","pages":"225-233"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143574806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Laboratory findings and treatment status were analyzed, and survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The 8 patients included 5 males and 3 females, aged 16-35 years, with a median age of 27 years. The platelet count of patients was normal, and 3 patients had mild to moderate anemia.
