Introduction: Suboptimal health status (SHS), an intermediate state between chronic disease and health, is characterized by chronic fatigue, non-specific pain, headaches, dizziness, anxiety, depression, and functional system disorders with a high prevalence worldwide. Although some lifestyle factors (e.g.

Rapid preoperative predicting tools for 1-year mortality and walking ability of Asian elderly femoral neck fracture patients who planned for hip arthroplasty.

Background: Femoral neck fractures in elderly patients typically warrant operative treatment and are related to high risks of mortality and morbidity. As early hip arthroplasties for elderly femoral neck fractures are widely accepted, rapid predicting models that allowed quantitative and individualized prognosis assessments are strongly needed as references for orthopedic surgeons during preoperative conversations.

Methods: Data of patients aged ≥ 65 years old who underwent primary unilateral hemiarthroplasty or total hip arthroplasty due to femoral neck fracture between January 1st, 2012 and June 30th, 2019 in our center were collected.

Association between hand grip strength and stroke in China: a prospective cohort study.

Multimorbidity in cardiovascular disease and association with life satisfaction: a Chinese national cross-sectional study.

Background: The coexistence of multiple chronic conditions is very common in cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the prevalence of CVD multimorbidity in China and its influence on life satisfaction have not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the proportions of 12 chronic comorbid diseases in CVD and the associations of multimorbidity with life satisfaction in patients with CVD.

Perioperative patient-specific factors-based nomograms predict short-term periprosthetic bone loss after total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Although medical intervention of periprosthetic bone loss in the immediate postoperative period was recommended, not all the patients experienced periprosthetic bone loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Prediction tools that enrolled all potential risk factors to calculate an individualized prediction of postoperative periprosthetic bone loss were strongly needed for clinical decision-making.

Methods: Data of the patients who underwent primary unilateral cementless THA between April 2015 and October 2017 in our center were retrospectively collected.

Mediating effect of health consciousness in the relationship of lifestyle and suboptimal health status: a cross-sectional study involving Chinese urban residents.

Objective: Suboptimal health status (SHS), a third state between good health and disease, can easily develop into chronic diseases, and can be influenced by lifestyle and health consciousness. No study has surveyed the intermediation of health consciousness on the relationship between lifestyle and SHS. This study aimed to analyse the association of lifestyle and SHS, and intermediation of health consciousness in Chinese urban residents.

Methods: A total of 411 untreated patients with invasive breast cancer diagnosed at Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (GDPH) between June 2017 to September 2018 were recruited into the study.

Associations of cardiovascular disease and depression with memory related disease: A Chinese national prospective cohort study.

Background: Association of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or depression and memory has been studied. But hardly any studies on the association of coexistence of CVD and depression and memory.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of a nationally representative sample of 12,272 adults aged 45 years and more who participated in the China health and retirement longitudinal study 2011 to 2015.

High periprosthetic bone mineral density measured in immediate postoperative period may not guarantee less periprosthetic bone loss in the proximal femur after cementless total hip arthroplasty - A retrospective study.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty is the most common orthopaedic procedure for the end-stage hip diseases. Periprosthetic bone loss is closely related to the increased risk of implant loosening and periprosthetic fractures, but the predictive value of periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD) measured immediately after surgery has not yet been investigated.

Methods: From April 2015 to October 2017, 64 patients with femoral neck fracture, hip osteoarthritis, femoral head necrosis, or developmental dysplasia of the hip underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty.

The effect of Xinkeshu tablets on depression and anxiety symptoms in patients with coronary artery disease: Results from a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study.

A large proportion of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) suffer from depression or anxiety symptoms and this is associated with increased mortality [1]. This double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, clinical trial (ChiCTR-IPR-17010940) aimed to explore whether Xinkeshu tablets can reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms in CAD patients and how this is related to the concentration of plasma cytokines. Sixty patients with CAD anda Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-a/HADS-d) score of ≥8 were treated with Xinkeshu tablets or placebo for 12 weeks following percutaneous revascularization.
