Objective To explore the utility of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) in screening risk factors for osteosarcopenia (OS) among older adults (≥80 years old) and to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of CGA-guided integrated interventions for OS. Methods A total of 420 patients aged ≥80 years, recruited from the Department of Geriatrics, General Practice of The Affiliated Jiangyin Hospital of Nantong University, and community health centers from January 2022 to October 2024, were enrolled. Participants were classified into OS (n=139) and non-OS (n=281) groups based on diagnostic criteria. CGA was utilized to compare differences in general characteristics, laboratory indicators, comorbidities between groups. Binary logistic regression analysis identified independent risk and protective factors. Subsequently, 40 OS patients were randomly assigned to an intervention group (n=20) receiving integrated interventions including nutritional support, exercise training, and psychological management or a control group (n=20, receiving routine care). Appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), grip strength, gait speed, and bone mineral density (BMD) T-score were compared between groups after 3 months. Results The prevalence of OS in this cohort was 33.1%. Compared to the non-OS group, the OS group exhibited significant differences in age, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, comorbidity index, concomitant medication, cognitive impairment, visual and hearing impairment, sleep disorders, depression, marital status, social participation, activities of daily living, nutritional risk, total cholesterol, uric acid, and constipation (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis identified age and comorbidity index as significant risk factors for OS, while BMI, married status, total cholesterol, and activities of daily living (assisted and independent) served as protective factors. The intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in grip strength, gait speed, BMD T-score, and male ASMI compared to controls (P<0.05). Conclusions CGA demonstrates clinical utility in systematically identifying risk factors for OS in the old population. Multimodal interventions guided by CGA effectively improve musculoskeletal function in elderly OS patients.

Since 1986, the WHO has held ten global health promotion conferences covering various health promotion issues and sustainable development worldwide. These sessions have formed a series of consensus and actions that guide promoting health globally. This study analyzed the declarations, reports, and news materials from the ten conferences that studied health promotion action areas, focal topics, actor networks, partnership relationships, and other significant outcomes. It also explored how these conferences contributed to the construction and advancement of global health promotion consensus and actions. The first Global Conference on Health Promotion identified the concept of health promotion and five key action areas, laying the foundation for subsequent conferences and health promotion actions. Over the years, the ten conferences continuously expanded the essence of health promotion, developed partnership relationships, formulated public health promotion policies, and called for health promotion actions. This process culminated in the formation of global consensus and collective actions. The latter conferences have gained significant attention and influence. The conferences offer valuable insights for future global health promotion endeavors and provide global perspectives and pathways for the development of Healthy China.

Objective:To observe the in vivo microscopic histological changes during the treatment of melasma using reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) combined with optical coherence tomography (OCT), and to explore its application value in evaluating therapeutic efficacy. Methods:Clinical data were collected from 30 melasma patients treated at the Department of Dermatology, Wuhan Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from January to October 2023. Retrospective analyses were performed on clinical photographs taken before treatment and at weeks 4, 8, 12, and 16 after the start of treatment, and the efficacy was evaluated by using the melasma area and severity index (MASI) scores. Meanwhile, changes in RCM imaging indicators, such as pigment distribution patterns, melanocyte morphology and spatial distribution patterns, and inflammatory infiltration in the superficial dermis in melasma lesions, were retrospectively analyzed. For clear elucidation of concepts and subsequent quantitative analysis, characteristic microscopic histological changes in melasma lesions before treatment were classified into several patterns based on RCM findings and previous literature reports. Additionally, optical coherence signals collected by OCT were used to asses characteristic vessel parameters in the lesions before and after treatment. Finally, correlations between various microscopic histological changes and clinical efficacy were analyzed using Spearman's correlation analysis.Results:With the increase in treatment duration, the proportions of pigment distribution patterns Ⅱ and Ⅲ observed by RCM gradually decreased, while the proportion of the nearly normal pattern Ⅰ markedly increased; the proportions of the 4 heterogeneous morphological patterns of melanocytes all decreased, while the pattern Ⅱ melanocytes were still focally distributed in the lesions at the last time of observation; meanwhile, the proportions of melanocyte spatial distribution patterns Ⅱ and Ⅲ decreased, which gradually restored to the normal pattern Ⅰ; the infiltration of melanophages and inflammatory cells in the superficial dermis diminished, and the proportion of the pattern Ⅲ inflammatory infiltration markedly decreased at week 4, but it lasted for a long time. The decrease rate of MASI scores was significantly correlated with the decrease rate of the proportions of pigment distribution patterns Ⅱ and Ⅲ ( r = 0.82, 0.97, respectively, both P < 0.05), melanocyte morphological patterns Ⅰ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ ( r = 0.84, 0.83, 0.83, respectively, all P < 0.05), and inflammatory infiltration patterns Ⅰ and Ⅲ ( r = 0.85, 0.81, respectively, both P < 0.05), as well as the increase rate of the proportion of melanocyte spatial distribution pattern Ⅰ ( r = 0.89, P < 0.05), indicating that these indicators can be sensitive evaluation indicators for clinical efficacy. Moreover, OCT revealed a decrease in the average diameter and density of vessels in the lesions after treatment, and the decrease rates were correlated with the decrease rate of MASI scores ( r = 0.76, 0.78, respectively, both P < 0.05) ; there was no significant difference between the pre- and post-treatment average depth of vascular plexuses. Conclusion:During the treatment of melasma, RCM combined with OCT could serve as a non-invasive approach with objective and robust evidence for evaluating the therapeutic efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features of diagnosis and treatment of renal parenchymal invasive urothelial carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 23 patients with renal parenchymal invasive urothelial carcinoma admitted to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2014 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 12 males and 11 females. The mean age was (67.3±10.1) years old. Among them, 7 cases complained of painless hematuria and 9 cases were asymptomatic. Three cases underwent preoperative MRI examination, 19 patients underwent preoperative enhanced CT examination, and 1 patient underwent both MRI and enhanced CT examination. MRI examination showed renal lobulated and other T1 mixed with T2 signals, the boundary was not clear, and DWI showed obvious restricted diffusion. The tumor was located on the left side in 15 cases and on the right side in 8 cases. Preoperative diagnosis was made by fine needle aspiration biopsy in 1 patient, and specimens were obtained by flexible ureteroscope in 2 patients. No tumor was reported. The preoperative diagnosis of 22 patients was unclear and the nature of the tumor could not be determined. One patient was considered to have urothelial carcinoma by fine needle aspiration. All patients were treated by surgery, including 20 cases of laparoscopic radical nephrectomy and 3 cases of nephroureterectomy with bladder sleeve resection.Results:Postoperative pathological specimens showed yellow-white mass, high-grade invasive urothelial carcinoma invading renal parenchyma. Nine cases were T 3a stage, 14 cases were T 3b stage, and 5 cases were lymph node metastasis. The average postoperative follow-up time was (18.6±6.72)months, 2 patients were lost to follow-up, 8 patients died, and the overall mortality rate was 38.1%. Seven patients died of recurrence or metastasis. There were 3 cases of bladder recurrence and 5 cases of metastasis after operation. Conclusions:Renal parenchymal infiltrating urothelial carcinoma is difficult to diagnose in the early stage, with poor clinical biological behavior and poor overall prognosis. For patients diagnosed with renal parenchymal invasive urothelial carcinoma preoperatively, laparoscopic nephroureterectomy + bladder sleeve resection is recommended.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of bladder cancer treatment by using Scutellaria barbata and Codonopsis pilosula drug pair through network pharmacology. Methods:The drug composition of the drug pair was screened using TCMSP, and their action targets were predicted using Swiss Target Prediction. GeneCards was used to obtain disease targets of bladder cancer, and venny 2.1 was used to obtain intersection targets. PPI analysis was performed using STRING, and a network diagram was constructed using Cytoscape. GO and KEGG analysis were conducted using Metascape. A drug-target-pathway network map was constructed using Cytoscape software. Nude mice were randomly divided into a model group and a treatment group to establish a bladder cancer mouse model. On the 8th day after model formation, the mice in the model group were administered intragastrically with a dose of 342.86 mg/kg, 0.2 ml, twice/day. On the 28th day after modeling, the tumor size of nude mice was measured. Prostaglandin G/H Synthetase 2 (PTGS2), PTGS1, Nuclear Receptor Coactivator 2 (NCOA2), Retinoic Acid X Receptor α (RXRA), Progesterone Receptor (PGR), Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 1 (MAPK1), Reticuloendothelial Proliferation virus oncogene homology A (RELA), and Akt1 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results:The results show that 45 active components of the drug pair directly acted on 187 disease targets through multiple pathways to treat bladder cancer, in which Quercetin, luteolin, wogonin, 7-Methoxy-2-methyl isoflavone, baicalein, beta-sitosterol, Stigmastero, and other core ingredients, as well as PTGS2, PTGS1, NCOA2, RXRA, PGR, MAPK1, RELA, and Akt1 are critical targets. The results of gene function annotation analysis show that the biological processes most likely related to crossover genes mainly involved responses to hormones, cell responses to lipids, responses to foreign stimuli, and responses to bacterial molecules. The cell components mainly involves transcription regulatory complexes, membrane rafts, membrane microregions, and RNA polymerase Ⅱ transcriptional regulatory complexes, etc. The molecular functions mainly involve transcription factor binding, DNA-binding transcription factor binding, RNA polymerase Ⅱ specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding, nuclear receptor activity, ligand-activated transcription factor activity, etc. The results of pathway enrichment analysis suggests that the main signaling pathways are AGE-RAGE, IL-17, PI3K-Akt, TNF, MAPK, HIF-1, apoptosis, p53, toll-like receptor, etc. Animal experiments show that the Scutellaria barbata and Codonopsis pilosula drug pair can significantly improve tumor size and also improve the expression levels of PTGS2, PTGS1, NCOA2, RXRA, PGR, MAPK1, RELA, and Akt1. Conclusions:The Scutellaria barbata and Codonopsis pilosula drug pair can regulate PTGS2, PTGS1, NCOA2, RXRA, PGR, MAPK1, RELA, and Akt1 and other diseases mainly through the regulation of AGE-RAGE, IL-17, PI3K-Akt, TNF, MAPK, HIF-1, apoptosis, p53, toll-like receptor, and other signaling pathways. Targeting enzyme activity and cell apoptosis can treat bladder cancer by regulating these biological processes.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.

Objective:To explore the predictive factors for prepatellar subfascial gas in patients with closed patellar fracture and their impacts on the early infection following internal fixation.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in the 148 patients with closed patellar fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Zhangjiagang Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University from January 2018 through December 2021. All patients underwent preoperative three-dimensional CT examination of the knee joint and was treated by open reduction and internal fixation of patellar fractures. According to the presence or absence of gas in the prepatellar fascia, the patients were divided into 2 groups. In the gas group of 18 patients, there were 12 males and 6 females with an age of (58.3±14.5) years; in the gas-free group of 130 patients, there were 57 males and 73 females with an age of (60.5±14.6) years. The risk factors for prepatellar subfascial gas were screened out by comparing the gender, age, body mass index, injury mechanism, AO/OTA classification, diabetes, primary hypertension, neutrophil percentage, lymphocyte percentage, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, procalcitonin, and albumin before operation between the 2 groups. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for risk factors were made to identify the best screening points. The impacts of prepatellar subfascial gas were analyzed on early infection after internal fixation.Results:The preoperative neutrophil percentage was the risk factor for prepatellar subfascial gas ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of preoperative neutrophil percentage for prediction of prepatellar subfascial gas was 0.700 (95% CI: 0.554 to 0.847), the optimal critical value was 78.45%, and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.556 and 0.831, respectively ( P=0.006). In the gas group, the incidence of early postoperative infection was insignificantly higher ( P=0.058) , but the time for postoperative antibiotic use was significantly longer and the dressing changes were significantly more frequent than those in the gas-free group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In patients with closed patellar fracture, preoperative neutrophil percentage >78.45% can be used as an effective non-imaging indicator for prepatellar subfascial gas. A patient with prepatellar subfascial gas could be more prone to early postoperative infection.
