Objective To study the differences in living habit and blood biochemical indicators of male elderly people at different age groups in a"regional longevity"gathering area in Chongqing and the high fre-quency variation of mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)in the elderly people(≥90 years old).Methods The male elderly people aged ≥60 years old in a"regional longevity"gathering area in Chongqing were randomly select-ed as the study subjects and divided into the group A(60-＜70 years old),group B(70-＜80 years old),group C(80-＜90 years old)and group D(≥90 years old).The differences of vegetable and fruit consump-tion,dairy bean consumption,outdoor activities,sleep time and blood biochemical indexes were compared a-mong different age groups.Then peripheral blood in the above subjects was collected for extracting mtDNA and sequencing.The meaningful mtDNA mutations between the various groups and group D were found out by the bioinformatics analysis.Results There were no statistically significant differences in consumption of vegetables and fruits,consumption of dairy beans,outdoor activities and sleep duration among different age groups(P＞0.05).There were statistically significant differences in erythrocyte and creatinine of blood bio-chemical indexes among the partial groups(P＜0.05).The mitochondria mutation analysis found 4 105 mtD-NA mutation sites,mainly single base mutation,the most common mutation was T＞C(22.57％),followed by C＞T(19.82％)and A＞G(19.36％).The average mutation rate of mtDNA in the group D was the high-est(8.392％),in which 3 mtDNA variants were found to have significant differences between different age groups and group D(P＜0.1),including mtDNA5396-5411CAACGTAAA＞C,mtDNA5414A＞T and mtD-NA5417G＞T.Conclusion There was no significant difference in the living habits of male elderly people of different ages.The mutation rate of mtDNA in the advanced age group was the highest.mtDNA5396-5411CAACGTAAA＞C,mtDNA5414A＞T and mtDNA5417G＞T variations may be related to"regional lon-gevity".

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Severe open tibiofibular fractures account for approximately 28.1% of all open fractures. Among them, Gustilo-Anderson type IIIB/C fractures present significant clinical challenges due to associated bone and soft tissue defects, high infection rates, and risk of amputation. Inadequate preoperative assessment may lead to suboptimal emergency surgical planning or intraoperative complications. Historically, external fixation was often preferred, but this approach has been associated with limitations such as restricted joint mobility, delayed bone union, joint stiffness, and disuse osteoporosis, resulting in poor functional recovery. With advancements of debridement techniques, standardization of antibiotic use, and popularization of early soft tissue coverage, early internal fixation has gained broader acceptance. Nevertheless, controversies persist regarding the choice of fixation method, timing of definitive fixation, use of reamed versus unreamed intramedullary nailing, and necessity of fibular fixation. To standardize the diagnosis and early management of severe open tibiofibular fractures, reduce complication rates, and improve functional recovery, the Society of Microsurgery of the Chinese Medical Association organized a panel of domestic experts to develop the Evidence-based guideline for the diagnosis and early fixation of severe open tibiofibular fractures ( version 2025), using evidence-based methodology. The guidelines provided 12 recommendations covering diagnostic and early fixation strategies of severe open tibiofibular fractures, aiming to provide clinicians with scientifically grounded and standardized guidance.

Hand degloving injury represents one of the most severe forms of hand trauma, characterised by challenging treatment and a complex prognostic outcome. It is crucial to effectively utilise the degloved tissues in emergency or primary repair of a hand degloving injury. This consensus provides a comprehensive review of the existing literature on definition, classification, emergency assessment, debridement, judgment of skin viability, in situ repair of the degloved skin, and adjunctive treatment for degloving injury of hand. Based on conclusion of both domestic and international experiences, this expert consensus on the classification of hand degloving injury and the emergency repair with the avulsed skin is established, aiming to provide a guidance to surgeons on standardised treatment strategy and improve the management of hand degloving injury.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors and their diagnostic efficacy of perioperative lower limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 155 polytrauma patients with predominant severe trauma who were admitted to Wuxi Ninth People′s Hospital from January 2021 to December 2024, including 64 males and 91 females, aged 13-95 years [(52.1±16.9)years]. Abbreviated injury scale (AIS) was 5-15 points [(7.4±2.1)points] and injury severity score (ISS) was 17-59 points [(21.3±6.5)points]. Based on the occurrence of DVT in the perioperative period, the patients were divided into preoperative DVT group with 17 patients (11.0%) and non-preoperative DVT group with 138 patients (89.0%) as well as postoperative DVT group with 24 patients (15.5%) and non-postoperative DVT group with 131 patients (84.5%). Basic clinical data were collected, including gender, age, body mass index (BMI), underlying diseases (hypertension, diabetes mellitus), hemoglobin level (Hb), platelet count (PLT), D-dimer, ISS, trauma site [cranial and brain trauma, thoracic and abdominal trauma, upper limb trauma, lower limb trauma (femoral fracture, patellar fracture, tibial or fibular fracture, foot fracture, vascular injury), and pelvic fracture], preoperative waiting time for surgery, surgical site (pelvis and lower limb, other areas), surgical protocols (pelvic and lower limb internal fixation, external fixation of lower limb, lower limb amputation), operation duration less or more than 2 hours, amount of intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion requirement, venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis (pharmacological and mechanical modalities) and length of hospital stay. Univariate analysis and multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis were conducted to investigate the correlation between the aforementioned indicators and incidence of perioperative lower limb DVT in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma and determine the independent risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under the curve (AUC) of the relevant risk factors were analyzed to evaluate and compare the diagnostic efficacy of the risk factors for perioperative lower limb DVT in polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma.Results:Univariate analysis results showed that age, history of hypertension, D-dimer, thoracic and abdominal trauma, pelvic fracture, preoperative waiting time for surgery, and length of hospital stay were significantly correlated with preoperative of DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.00, 1.10, P<0.05), pelvic fracture ( OR=5.03, 95% CI 1.09, 23.20, P<0.05), preoperative waiting time for surgery ( OR=1.10, 95% CI 1.00, 1.22, P<0.05) and length of hospital stay ( OR=0.89,95% CI 0.81,0.98, P<0.05) were highly correlated with preoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). Univariate analysis results showed that age, D-dimer, ISS, foot fracture, and length of hospital stay were significantly correlated with postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.01, 1.08, P<0.01), D-dimer ( OR=1.05, 95% CI 1.00, 1.10, P<0.05), ISS ( OR=1.09, 95% CI 1.01, 1.17, P<0.05), and foot fracture ( OR=3.51 , 95% CI 1.25 , 9.87 , P<0.05) were significantly correlated with postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients ( P<0.05). The results of the ROC curve analysis indicated that preoperative waiting time for surgery (AUC=0.83, 95% CI 0.75, 0.91) had the highest diagnostic efficacy for preoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients, with the diagnostic efficacies of pelvic fracture (AUC=0.75, 95% CI 0.65, 0.85) and age (AUC=0.70, 95% CI 0.59, 0.82) decreasing successively. For postoperative DVT of the lower limbs in the patients, D-dimer (AUC=0.71, 95% CI 0.61, 0.81) exhibited the highest diagnostic efficacy, followed by age (AUC=0.70, 95% CI 0.59, 0.81), ISS (AUC=0.64, 95% CI 0.51, 0.76) and foot fracture (AUC=0.62, 95% CI 0.49, 0.74), with diagnostic efficacy decreased successively. Conclusions:For polytrauma patients with predominant severe limb trauma, age, pelvic fracture and preoperative waiting time for surgery are independent risk factors for preoperative DVT, while age, D-dimer, ISS and foot fracture are independent risk factors for postoperative DVT. Additionally, preoperative waiting time for surgery has the best diagnostic efficacy for preoperative DVT, followed by pelvic fracture and age. D-dimer has the best diagnostic efficacy for postoperative DVT, followed by age, ISS and foot fracture.

Aging is an inevitable, physiological process of the human body, leading to deterioration in bodily function and increased susceptibility to various diseases. Effective endogenous therapeutic strategies for anti-aging and related diseases remain limited. Exercise confers multifaceted benefits to physical health by augmenting osteogenic and myogenic processes, enhancing cardiovascular and nervous system function, and attenuating chronic inflammation. Angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis play pivotal roles in anti-aging, tissue repair, and immune response modulation, underscoring their potential as therapeutic targets for age-related diseases. Modulating angiogenic and lymphangiogenic pathways may provide a promising strategy for mitigating vascular decline and immune system dysfunction associated with aging. Exercise-induced endogenous angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis can exert beneficial effects on physiological function, thereby representing a potential therapeutic paradigm for combating age-related decline and diseases. This review offers a thorough summary of the present knowledge regarding angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis induced by exercise, encompassing the underlying mechanisms and the effects in different organs. In addition, it explores the potential of physical activity as a non-pharmacological intervention for anti-aging strategies and disease management, offering novel insights into the intersection of physical activity, aging, and disease progression.

Objective To investigate the value of narrow band imaging-magnifying endoscopy(NBI-ME)and endoscopic ultrasonography(EUS)in diagnosing colorectal submucosal carcinoma and to analyze the specific imaging features of submucosal carcinoma.Methods A total of 259 pa-tients with early-stage colorectal cancer were selected as study subjects.All patients underwent NBI-ME and EUS examinations.The consistency between the results of NBI-ME,EUS,and pathological diag-nosis was analyzed.The diagnostic efficacy of NBI-ME,EUS alone,and their combined application for submucosal carcinoma was evaluated.The differences in clinical and imaging features between pa-tients with submucosal carcinoma and intramucosal carcinoma were compared.Results Among 259 patients,203 had intramucosal carcinoma and 56 had submucosal carcinoma.The judgments of tumor infiltration by NBI-ME and EUS showed good consistency with the pathological diagnosis results(Kappa=0.706,0.685,respectively,P＜0.001).The sensitivity and negative predictive value of NBI-ME combined with EUS in diagnosing submucosal carcinoma were higher than those of NBI-ME or EUS alone,while the specificity was lower,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).The proportions of patients with submucosal carcinoma having a lesion maximum diameter＞2 cm,easily bleeding lesions,and vascular dilation were 71.43％,46.43％,and 39.29％,respectively,which were higher than those in patients with intramucosal carcinoma(41.87％,28.57％,and 10.34％,respectively)(P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that a lesion maximum diameter＞2 cm,easily bleeding lesions,and vascular dilation were all independent risk factors for submucosal carcinoma(P＜0.05).Conclusion NBI-ME and EUS have certain appli-cation value in diagnosing colorectal submucosal carcinoma and intramucosal carcinoma,and their combined application demonstrates better diagnostic efficacy.Patients with early-stage colorectal cancer having a lesion maximum diameter＞2 cm,easily bleeding lesions,and vascular dilation are at a higher risk of being diagnosed with submucosal carcinoma.

Object·To explore the effects of comorbid obsessive-compulsive personality disorder(OCPD)on the behavioral inhibition system(BIS)/behavioral activation system(BAS)in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder(OCD).Methods·A total of 247 patients with unmedicated OCD diagnosed in the Mental Health Center,Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from 2014 to 2018 were included and divided into an OCD group(n=202),and an OCD+OCPD group(n=45),and 107 healthy controls were recruited as a comparison group.Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsion Scale(YBOCS),BIS/BAS Scale,Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),and Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)were used to assess psychopathological features.Gender differences among the three groups were analyzed using the x2 test.One-way analysis of variance(ANOVA)was used to compare differences in demographic characteristics,psychopathological features,and BIS/BAS scores,followed by the least significant difference(LSD)test for pairwise comparisons.Regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationships between psychopathological features and BIS/BAS scores.Results·There were no significant differences in gender,age,and years of education among the three groups.The scores of YBOCS(t=2.925,P=0.004),HAMD(t=2.130,P=0.034)and HAMA(t=2.568,P=0.011)in the OCD+OCPD group were significantly higher than those in the OCD group.There were statistically significant differences in BIS and BAS scores among the three groups(BIS:F=39.573,P＜0.001;BAS:F=3.915,P=0.021).The results showed that for BIS,there were statistically significant differences in pairwise comparisons among the three groups(OCD+OCPD vs OCD:P=0.002;OCD+OCPD vs HC:P＜0.001;OCD vs HC:P＜0.001),and the scores were OCD+OCPD＜OCD＜HC from low to high.For BAS,the OCD group scored significantly higher than the OCD+OCPD and HC groups(OCD+OCPD vs OCD:P=0.018;OCD vs HC:P=0.043),but there was no significant difference between the OCD+OCPD and HC groups.Regression models of BIS and BAS were constructed for OCD patients with OCPD,and the results showed that the overall prediction effect of the model was significant for BIS total scores(F=2.599,P=0.013).Only the severity of OCPD symptoms can significantly predict BIS scores(t=-2.282,P=0.023).For BAS total scores,the overall prediction effect of the model was not significant(F=1.438,P=0.191).Conclusion·Comorbid OCPD may be an adverse factor for abnormal BIS and a protective factor for abnormal BAS in patients with OCD.
