Objective To investigate the public health issues associated with the follow-up outcomes of mental health in elderly community residents with a focus on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and emotional problems (anxiety and depression), as the burden of various diseases increases with global population growth and aging. Methods In this study, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Early Dementia Screening Scale, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale, and Activities of Daily Living scale were used to analyze the data on MCI and emotional problems among the elderly in a district of Shanghai, China. The t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis were used to identify related protective factors and evaluate the effectiveness of comprehensive intervention measures. Results The first session of intervention led to an improvement in cognitive impairment (P<0.001). During the first session of intervention, exercise and skill training were very effective in improving cognitive impairment (r=0.71 and 0.68, P<0.001), while group instruction and the distribution of educational materials failed to achieve an ideal effectiveness. The second session of intervention also had a significant effect on cognitive impairment (P<0.05); however, the second session of intervention lacked a significant overall effect, and skill training remained the most effective intervention method (Pr=0.0344, P<0.05). The research findings showed that the two sessions of community intervention were protective factors against MCI and depression, while they could not alleviate anxiety. Conclusion This study validates the effectiveness of follow-up intervention measures in improving cognitive function in elderly patients with MCI, which provide scientific prediction and reference for early screening, prediction, and follow-up intervention of elderly dementia and MCI at the community level.

Globally, the incidence of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) among individuals younger than 50 is escalating. Compared to late-onset colorectal cancer, EOCRC exhibits distinct clinical, pathological, and molecular features, with a higher prevalence in the left colon and rectum. However, the occurrence and development of EOCRC is a multi-factor and multi-stage evolution process, which is the result of the mutual effect of environmental, genetic and biological factors, and involves the multi-level regulation mechanism of other organisms. With the development and improvement of high-throughput sequencing technology, the application of multi-omics analysis has become an important development direction to resolve the pathogenesis of complex diseases and individualized treatment plans. This article aims to review the research progress of EOCRC at the multi-omics level, providing a theoretical foundation for earlier diagnosis and more precise treatment of this diseases.

OBJECTIVE:
Surgical wounds that can’t complete primary healing three weeks after surgery are called postoperative refractory wounds. Postoperative refractory wounds would bring great physical and life burdens to the patients and seriously affect their quality of life. To investigate the effect of platelet fibrin plasma (PFP) on postoperative refractory wound healing.APPROACH: The composition of PFP was analyzed using blood routine and blood biochemicals. Clinical data were collected that met the inclusion criteria after treatment with PFP, and the efficacy of PFP was evaluated by wound healing rate and days to healing. Next, growth factor content in PFP, PRP, and PPP was analyzed using ELISA, and PFP-treated cells were applied to investigate the effect of PFP on fibroblast and endothelial cell function.
RESULTS:
PFP component analysis revealed no statistical difference between platelet concentration in PFP and physiological concentration. Clinical statistics showed that PFP treatment was effective in the postoperative refractory wound (four-week wound healing rate [ 90%), significantly better than continuous wound dressing. Meanwhile, our result also proved that PFP treatment significantly enhanced vascularization by upregulated the expression level of CD31 and improved granulation tissue thickness. Activated PFP, PRP, and PPP could continuously release growth factors in vitro and the amount of growth factors released by PRP and PFP was significantly higher than PPP. In vitro studies demonstrated that active PFP could improve cell proliferation, migration, adhesion, and angiogenesis in fibroblasts and endothelial cells.INNOVATION: Physiologically concentrated platelet plasma promoted wound healing and improved related cellular functions. The modified PFP (responsible for accelerating wound healing and enhancing the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts and endothelial cells) was prepared and analyzed for its clinical effectiveness in postoperative refractory wounds.
CONCLUSION
Physiologically concentrated platelet plasma promoted wound healing and improved related cellular functions. The preparation of PFP could significantly reduce the amount of prepared blood, with a good application value for postoperative wounds. PFP can be considered a treatment option, especially for postoperative refractory wounds.

BACKGROUND:
Severe liver disease (SLD), including cirrhosis and liver cancer, constitutes a major disease burden in China. We aimed to examine the association of genetic and healthy lifestyle factors with the incidence and prognosis of SLD.
METHODS:
The study population included 504,009 participants from the prospective China Kadoorie Biobank aged 30-79 years. The individuals were from 10 diverse areas in China without a history of cancer or liver disease at baseline. Cox regression was used to estimate adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for incident SLD and death after SLD diagnosis associated with healthy lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, physical activity, and central adiposity). Additionally, the contribution of genetic risk for hepatitis B virus (HBV, assessed by genetic variants in major histocompatibility complex, class II, DP/DQ [ HLA - DP / DQ ] genes) was also estimated.
RESULTS:
Compared with those with 0-1 healthy lifestyle factor, participants with 2, 3, and 4 factors had 12% (HR 0.88 [95% confidence interval [CI] 0.85, 0.92]), 26% (HR 0.74 [95%CI: 0.69, 0.79]), and 44% (HR 0.56 [95%CI: 0.48, 0.65]) lower risks of SLD, respectively. Inverse associations were observed among participants with both low and high genetic risks (HR per 1-point increase 0.83 [95%CI: 0.74, 0.94] and 0.91 [95%CI: 0.82, 1.02], respectively; Pinteraction = 0.51), although with a non-significant trend among those with a high genetic risk. Inverse associations were also observed between healthy lifestyle factors and liver biomarkers regardless of the genetic risk. Despite the limited power, healthy lifestyle factors were associated with a lower risk of death after incident SLD among participants with a low genetic risk (HR 0.59 [95%CI: 0.37, 0.96]).
CONCLUSIONS
Lifestyle modification may be beneficial in terms of lowering the risk of SLD regardless of the genetic risk. Moreover, it is also important for improving the prognosis of SLD in individuals with a low genetic risk. Future studies are warranted to examine the impact of healthy lifestyles on SLD prognosis, particularly among individuals with a high genetic risk.
