Eating disorders are a type of intractable mental illness, among which anorexia has a mortality rate of up to 5% to 20%, the highest among all mental illnesses. However, in recent years, the prevalence of eating disorders has continued to rise, seriously affecting the mental and physical health of patients and family happiness. In 2017, the Municipal Jingwei Center established the country's first eating disorder diagnosis and treatment center, constantly exploring innovative prevention and treatment models, and established a multidisciplinary full-process intervention model based on family cooperation. In October 2020, the Shanghai Mental Health Center-Taihe Big Health Fund was established, mainly to support the popularization of eating disorders; in July 2021, my country’s first eating disorder public welfare hotline "Smart Food and Smart Love" was established; in November 2021, the "Lekang Huiai Volunteer Team" under the leadership of the Social Work Department was established, which not only provides volunteer services for patients and families with eating disorders, but also carries out popularization of eating disorders throughout society.

"We hope that in the process of continuously innovating service and management models, we can use innovative popular science for the general public as one of the important means." Dean Zhao Min said that art exhibitions are an effective way to raise public awareness and promote patient recovery. The ultimate goal is to provide more support and help to patients.

The works exhibited in this exhibition come from patients who participated in art therapy at the Eating Disorders Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Shanghai Mental Health Center, as well as artists and rehabilitated patients collected from the society. The works created by teachers Xia Chuan and Yu Heng in the wards are also exhibited in the exhibition, reflecting the important role of art therapy in the patient's rehabilitation process. The exhibition will last for 3 months. Chen Jue, director of the Clinical Psychology Department, mentioned that the rehabilitation process of patients with eating disorders is very important, and the volunteer team plays a key role in providing emotional support, popular science publicity and community participation. As a rehabilitated patient, Zhang Qinwen, the curator of this art exhibition, shared her experience of engaging in popular science publicity for eating disorders.

"I have helped people with body anxiety, appearance anxiety and eating problems through my public account EDHealer, various exhibitions and documentary filming." She mentioned that art is not only a way of self-expression, but also a medium for connection and healing. Another curator, Zhao Zihe, hopes to promote dialogue and understanding through this exhibition, and support people with eating disorders to find balance and courage.

Recently, it was reported that Professor Li Xinxiang from the Department of Colorectal Surgery at Fudan University Affiliated Cancer Hospital led a team to publish a research result confirming that "delayed surgery after neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy" as the standard treatment plan is not universally applicable to all locally advanced colon cancer patients. Research has shown that patients with locally advanced colon cancer who experience poor tumor regression after neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy have poorer survival benefits with longer preoperative intervals. These patients should be screened in a timely manner to avoid delaying surgery. The relevant research results have been published in the internationally authoritative academic journal International Surgery, with an impact factor of 13.4. Colon cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China, seriously threatening the lives and health of residents. Surgical intervention is an important means for colon cancer patients to achieve curative treatment. Data shows that over 80% of colon cancer patients are already in the initial diagnosis stage
