Objective:To investigate the distribution characteristics of cognition-related lifestyles of elderly in communities and explore the integrated effects on early cognitive decline.Methods:The participants were from the Project of Prevention and Intervention of Neurodegenerative Disease for Elderly in China. A total of 2 537 older adults aged ≥60 years without dementia in the 2015 baseline survey and the 2017 follow-up survey were included. The information about their cognition-related lifestyles, including physical exercise, social interaction, leisure activity, sleep quality, smoking status, and alcohol consumption, were collected through questionnaire survey and the integrated scores were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between integrated cognition-related lifestyle score and early cognitive decline.Results:In the 2 537 older adults surveyed, 28.7% had score of 5-6, while only 4.8% had high scores for all 6 healthy lifestyles. Significant differences in healthy lifestyle factor distributions were observed between men and women. Multivariate logistic regression model showed that the risks for early cognitive decline in the older adults who had lifestyle score of 4 and 5-6 were lower than that in those with lifestyle score of 0-3 ( OR=0.683, 95% CI: 0.457-1.019; OR=0.623, 95% CI: 0.398-0.976; trend P=0.030). In the women, the risks for early cognitive decline was lower in groups with score of 4 and 5-6 than in group with score of 0-3 ( OR=0.491, 95% CI: 0.297-0.812; OR=0.556, 95% CI: 0.332-0.929; trend P=0.024). Conclusion:Cognition-related healthy lifestyles are associated with significantly lower risk for early cognitive decline in the elderly, especially in women.

Objective:To evaluate the quality and reporting standards of the ketogenic diet guidelines and consensuses in children with refractory epilepsy at home and abroad.Methods:A systematic search was conducted using the English and Chinese keywords for screening relevant guidelines and expert consensus on the Guidelines International Network, National Guideline Clearinghouse, Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network, National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Center for Evidence-Based Health Care in Australia, DynaMed Evidence-Based Medicine Database, American Academy of Neurology, American Epilepsy Society, International League Against Epilepsy, Child Neurology Society, European Paediatric Neurology Society, International Ketogenic Diet Research Group, Cochrane Library, PubMed, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, etc. The search period was from establishment of databases to August 13, 2021. The quality of the guidelines was evaluated using the The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and EvaluationⅡ, and the Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in healthcare was used to evaluate the reporting standards of guidelines. The JBI Center for Evidence-based Health Care Quality Evaluation tool was used to evaluate the quality of expert consensuses, and the National Institutes of Health Reporting Standards was used to evaluate the reporting standards of expert consensuses.Results:A total of 1 864 literatures were searched initially. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and reading the literature content, 13 literatures were selected, and after manual search, 1 literature was supplemented. Finally, a total of 14 literatures were obtained, including 7 guidelines and 7 expert consensuses. The quality evaluation results showed that 2 guidelines were grade A, 2 guidelines were grade B and 3 guidelines were grade C. 5 expert consensuses were rated "Yes" in the six items of quality evaluation. The results of the evaluation of reporting norms showed that the seven expert consensus reports were of poor quality; the higher the methodological quality rating of the guidelines, the better their reporting quality.Conclusions:The overall quality of the 14 guidelines and expert consensuses included is high, and attention should be paid to research quality in terms of application and participants. The reporting standards need to be further improved, and in the future, researchers can pay more attention to the reporting standards in the process of formulating guidelines and expert consensus, achieving a more rigorous research process and better applying evidence to clinical practice.

Physical exercise can accompany with risks, such as repeated blows to the head, causing mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and mTBI will cause continuous cognitive, behavioral and mental problems, bring neurodegeneration and ultimately lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). However, this regular exercise can also be used as a neuroprotective agent against cognitive decline in the brain and affect the plasticity of the brain. Regular exercise can improve the brain learning, memory, recognition and the disease process of CTE by reducing abnormal protein accumulation, promoting neurogenesis, synapse formation, increasing synaptic plasticity and angiogenesis, improving microcirculation, anti-microinflammation and oxidative stress, and promoting mental health. This review analyzes the pathological changes and mechanism of CTE and explore the mechanism of regular exercise in improving neurological function after CTE, so as to provide new ideas for CTE rehabilitation.

The competitive sports are beneficial to cardiovascular system and brain health. However, physical exercise is accompanied with risks. Severe trauma is possible in competitive sports that may impact on the head and body. In recent years, more interests are aroused in sports-related traumatic brain injury(TBI), especially the mild TBI(mTBI). Repetitive mTBI can cause persistent cognitive, behavioral and mental problems, leading to chronic traumatic encephalopathy(CTE) and eventually resulting in neurodegeneration. In this study, the authors summarize the pathological characteristics and mechanism of CTE induced by mTBI due to competitive exercise so as to reveal the pathogenesis of CTE and provide valuable information for early diagnosis, development of disease biomarkers and explore effective therapeutic targets.

Objective:To study the prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) in patients with plastic and cosmetic by performing meta-analysis.Methods:We searched, collected and screened the published studies on the prevalence of BDD in population with cosmetic surgery at home and abroad, and conducted a meta-analysis to calculate the prevalence of BDD in this population. The literatures were screened strictly according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the quality of the included studies was evaluated with reference to AHRQ scale. Cochrane Q test was used to analyze the heterogeneity among the studies. If there was no heterogeneity, the fixed effect model was used for the pooled analysis of effect size. If there was heterogeneity, the random effect model was used for the pooled analysis of effect size, and the potential sources of heterogeneity were tested by meta regression, and subgroup analysis was performed. Sensitivity analysis was performed to test the stability of the result. Funnel plot was used to determine whether publication bias existed.Results:Thirteen articles were finally included in the meta-analysis, including 4 Chinese articles and 9 English articles, with a total sample size of 3 366 cases. A total of 435 cases of BDD were detected. The AHRQ scores of the 13 articles were greater or equal to 4 points. Heterogeneity test showed that there was a high degree of heterogeneity among the 13 studies, so the random effect model was used for pooled analysis of effect size. The results showed that the prevalence rate of BDD in population with plastic surgery was 13% (95% CI 9% - 18%). Sensitivity analysis shows that the result calculated by the random effect model are stable and reliable. Meta regression analysis showed that the difference of surgical site was one of the reasons for heterogeneity. Thirteen articles were divided into two groups according to patients with rhinoplasty and plastic surgery in other parts, and meta-analysis was conducted respectively. There were 3 articles in rhinoplasty group and 10 articles in other part of the plastic surgery. The result showed that the prevalence of BDD was 29% (95% CI 24% - 35%) in rhinoplasty group and 9% (95% CI 8% -10%) group with plastic surgery in other parts. Funnel plot analysis showed that there was no publication bias in this study. Conclusions:About 9% of the people with cosmetic surgery suffer from BDD, and the prevalence of BDD in the people seeking nasal plastic surgery can be as high as 29%. Plastic surgeons should pay special attention to this kind of people in clinical work, and use appropriate screening tools to identify them, so as to provide more scientific diagnosis and treatment plan for patients. Aesthetic plastic surgeons should pay attention to the evaluation of patients’ psychological state in clinical work.
