Based on the data from the 5^th National Physical Fitness Surveillance in China, this study aimed to explore the relationship between abnormal body weight and physical fitness levels in older adults.

Background: The association of changes in metabolic syndrome (MetS) with cognitive function remains unclear. We explored this association using prospective and Mendelian randomization (MR) studies. Methods: MetS components including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), waist circumference (WC), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and triglycerides were measured at baseline and two follow-ups, constructing a MetS index. Immediate, delayed memory recall, and cognitive function along with its dimensions were assessed by immediate 10- word recall test (IWRT) and delayed 10-word recall test (DWRT), and mini-mental state examination (MMSE), respectively, at baseline and follow-ups. Linear mixed-effect model was used. Additionally, the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of MetS was conducted and one-sample MR was performed to assess the causality between MetS and cognitive function. Results: Elevated MetS index was associated with decreasing annual change rates (decrease) in DWRT and MMSE scores, and with decreases in attention, calculation and recall dimensions. HDL-C was positively associated with an increase in DWRT scores, while SBP and FPG were negatively associated. HDL-C showed a positive association, whereas WC was negatively associated with increases in MMSE scores, including attention, calculation and recall dimensions. Interaction analysis indicated that the association of MetS index on cognitive decline was predominantly observed in low family income group. The GWAS of MetS identified some genetic variants. MR results showed a non-significant causality between MetS and decrease in DWRT, IWRT, nor MMSE scores. Conclusion Our study indicated a significant association of MetS and its components with declines in memory and cognitive function, especially in delayed memory recall.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of basic anesthesia combined with local anesthesia in the preoperative localization of multiple pulmonary nodules. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent preoperative localization for multiple pulmonary nodules resection under single-port thoracoscopy in Nanjing Brain Hospital from July 2023 to September 2023 were extracted. They were divided into a group A and a group B according to the localization method. The patients in the group A were localized under local anesthesia, and the patients in the group B were localized with basic anesthesia combined with local anesthesia. The basic clinical characteristics, localization success rate, incidence of localization complications, localization time, and pain score of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results Finally, we included 200 patients with 100 patients in each group. There were 49 males and 51 females at age of 25-77 (50.94±14.29) years in the group A. There are 45 males and 55 females at age of 24-78 (48.25±14.04) years in the group B. The incidence of localization complications (4% vs. 13%, P=0.04), localization time [(19.90±8.66) min vs. (15.23±5.98) min, P<0.01], and pain score[ (2.01±2.09) vs. (3.29±2.54), P<0.01] in the group B were significantly lower than those in the group A, and the differences were statistically significant. The localization success rate of the group B was significantly higher than that of the group A (98% vs. 92%, P=0.04), and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion Mobile CT combined with basic anesthesia for preoperative localization of multiple pulmonary nodules is highly safe, has a high success rate, and provides high patient comfort, making it a valuable approach for clinical promotion.

Objective To analyze the independent risk factors affecting complications of preoperative CT-guided Hookwire localization of pulmonary nodules, and establish and validate a nomogram risk prediction model. Methods Clinical data of patients who underwent thoracoscopic lung surgery with preoperative CT-guided Hookwire localization at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Affiliated Nanjing Brain Hospital, Nanjing Medical University from January 2023 to October 2023 were collected. Patients were divided into a complication group and a non-complication group according to whether they had complications. The clinical data of the two groups were compared by univariate analysis and multivariate binary logistic regression analysis to determine the independent risk factors causing complications during localization, and a nomogram prediction model was established. The discrimination of the model was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and the consistency between predicted events and actual results was evaluated by calibration curve. Results A total of 300 patients were included, including 143 males and 157 females, aged 24-68 (46.00±22.81) years. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in age, number and location of nodules, preoperative anxiety score, history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), number of needle adjustments, pain score, and distance between the tip of the localization needle and the visceral pleura between the two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis suggested that pain score [OR=1.253, 95%CI (1.094, 1.434), P=0.001], age [OR=1.020, 95%CI (1.000, 1.042), P=0.049], history of COPD [OR=3.281, 95%CI (1.751, 6.146), P<0.001], number of nodules [OR=1.667, 95%CI (1.221, 2.274), P=0.001], preoperative anxiety score [OR=1.061, 95%CI (1.031, 1.092), P<0.001], number of needle adjustments [OR=1.832, 95%CI (1.263, 2.658), P=0.001], and distance between the needle tip and the visceral pleura [OR=1.759, 95%CI (1.373, 2.254), P<0.001] were associated with localization complications. The area under the ROC curve for the modeling group was 0.825, and that for the validation group was 0.845. Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the ideal curve of the model fitting curve and that of the modeling group and internal validation group, indicating good goodness of fit (χ2=6.488, P=0.593). Conclusion Advanced age, multiple nodules, preoperative anxiety, history of COPD, multiple needle adjustments, severe pain during localization, and long distance between the tip of the localization needle and the visceral pleura are independent risk factors for complications of lung nodule localization, and the prediction model based on these factors has good predictive performance.

Objective:To investigate the effect of flow cytometric minimal residual disease(MRD)detection at different time points during AML chemotherapy on prognosis.Methods:130 adult primary AML patients diagnosed and standardized with chemotherapy from March 2018 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed,MRD was detected by flow cytometry,Kaplan-Meier curves was used for survival analysis and log-rank test was used for variance analysis,and univariate and multifactor influencing patient survival with COX proportional risk regression model analysis.Cumulative incidence rate(CIR)analysis with competing risk model and variance analysis using Fine-Gray.Results:There were 81 CR1,26 CR2,14 PR,and 9 NR patients in 130 patients.OS of the CR1 group was higher than that in the CR2,PR,and NR groups.OS of the CR2 group was higher than that in the PR group,but there was no statistically difference compared to the NR group.There was no statistically difference in OS between the PR and NR groups.107 patients in CR1 and CR2 were grouped according to MRD detected by flow cytometry,and after the first induction chemotherapy,for patients in the MRD-and MRD+groups,the 4-year expected RFS rates were 65.3％and 27.9％respectively,the 4-year expected OS rates were 58.7％and41.4％respectively,and the 4-year expected CIR were 34.7％and 69.7％respectively,with statistically significant differences between 2 groups(x2=6.639,P=0.010;x2=6.131,P=0.013 and x2=6.637,P=0.010).After the second chemotherapy,for patients in the MRD-and MRD+groups,the 4-year expected RFS rates were 50.8％and 37.9％respectively,the 4-year expected OS rates were 49.2％and 44.5％respectively,and the 4-year expected CIR were 49.2％and 59.5％respectively,with no statistically significant differences between 2 groups(x2=1.475,P=0.225;x2=2.432,P=0.119 and x2=1.416,P=0.234).During consolidation therapy,for patients in the MRD-and MRD+groups,the 4-year expected RFS rates were 51.9％and 29.6％respectively,the 4-year expected OS rates were 67.5％and 24.6％respectively,and the 4-year expected CIR were 48.1％and 70.4％respectively,with statistically significant differences between 2 groups(x2=20.982,P＜0.001;x2=17.794,P＜0.001 and x2=19.879,P＜0.001).For patients with MRD-at all three time points and positive at either time point,the 4-year expected RFS rates were 69.9％and 33.3％respectively,the 4-year expected OS rates were 59.1％and 44.7％respectively,and the 4-year expected CIR were 30.1％and 65.1％respectively,with statistically significant differences between 2 groups(x2=7.367,P=0.007;x2=6.042,P=0.014 and x2=7.662,P=0.006).Univariate analysis showed that karyotype at high risk of chromosome was an unfavorable factor affecting patients'RFS and OS,while 2 cycles of induction chemotherapy achieved CR,MRD-after the first induction chemotherapy and MRD-after the second induction chemotherapy was a protective factor affecting patients'RFS and OS.MRD-during consolidation therapy and MRD-at all three time points were all protective factors affecting patients'RFS,OS and CIR.Multivariate analysis showed that induction chemotherapy for 2 cycles achieved CR was a protective factor affecting patients'RFS and CIR,and MRD-during consolidation therapy was a protective factor affecting patients'RFS,OS and CIR.Conclusion:Early achievement of CR and MRD-in adult AML patients,especially MRD-during consolidation therapy,is a marker of good prognosis,and flow cytometry is the most commonly used method for MRD detection in AML patients.

Cell-in-cell(CIC)is a phenomenon described as the active infiltration of one or more living cells into another living cell,forming intracellular structures and producing biological effects.This phenomenon was first ob-served and detailed in the early 20th century.However,it has only become an active area of research in cell biology in the past decade.As research advanced,scientists gradually recognized that the phenomenon of CIC exists in many biological systems and diseases,and has important physiological and pathological significance in evolution,development,homeosta-sis,and diseases,especially in tumors,which has important clinical research value.Currently,five forms of CIC struc-tures have been identified:cell cannibalism,phagoptosis,enclysis,entosis,and emperipolesis.Each form represents a distinct interaction between cells,characterized by unique cell types,biological characteristics,molecular mechanisms,and implications in pathophysiology.This article aims to review the cell types involved in each CIC structure,their biologi-cal characteristics and the molecular mechanisms driving these interactions,and to explore the potential clinical signifi-cance in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of human diseases.
