Objectives: We examined retirement transitions by gender, and different associations between retirement, physical function and mental health.
Methods: Data for 21,608 participants aged 55-69 from the 45 and Up Study were used. Generalised estimating equations were used to investigate longitudinal associations between retirement with psychological distress (Kessler score, K10) and physical dysfunction across two time points, by gender separately.
Results: Retirement in men was associated with a 25% relative increase in mean physical dysfunction score (p<0.001) and a 2% relative increase in mean K10 score (p=0.004), although men with high physical dysfunction score had a 6% increase in mean K10 score (p=0.005) if retired. For women, retirement was associated with a 17% increase in mean physical dysfunction score (p<0.001), with no association observed with the K10 score. Results were adjusted for demographic and health covariates.
Conclusion: Retirement is associated with physical dysfunction over time. Retirement is not associated with psychological distress among women, but retirement is associated with psychological distress among men who have a high level of physical dysfunction. The findings point to the importance of attending to the physical and mental health needs, around the retirement period, particularly for men with poor physical health.

This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a novel "In & Out" strategy, combining topical and oral melatonin supplementation, in managing skin aging compared to topical treatment alone. A randomized, prospective study was conducted on 39 healthy females aged 55-69 years. Participants were divided into two groups: one received both the topical formula and oral melatonin supplementation (Group A), while the other received a topical melatonin-based formula (Group B).

Background/aim: The development of new biomarkers to predict cancer patient prognosis is expected to aid in treatment selection, contributing to improved outcomes. In this study, we extracted a candidate gene associated with patient prognosis from a public database and investigated the molecular and biological functions and clinical significance of the gene in gastric cancer.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed The Cancer Genome Atlas database and identified the family with sequence similarity 32 member a (FAM32A) as a candidate gene.
Association between long-term exposure to air pollution and incidence of peripheral artery disease: Evidence from a longitudinal study.

Introduction: The association between air pollution and cardiovascular diseases is well established. However, fewer studies focused on the relationship between air pollution and peripheral artery disease (PAD), notwithstanding that not only it is a predictor of CVD mortality but also that incidence is globally rising, particularly in low-middle income countries.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate the association between long-term exposure to air pollutants and the incidence of PAD in the Rome Longitudinal Study (RLS) during 2011-2019.
Association of Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 and Lipoprotein(a) With the Risk of Recurrence Stroke in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the prognostic significance of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) in predicting long-term stroke recurrence in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS).
- A total of 580 AIS patients were monitored over two years, with results showing that 17.41% experienced stroke recurrence, highlighting key risk factors such as age, diabetes, and levels of Lp-PLA2 and Lp(a).
- The results suggest that using both Lp-PLA2 and Lp(a) together offers a more effective and cost-efficient method for assessing stroke recurrence risk than looking at these factors individually.

Article Synopsis
- Gastric cancer is a major global health issue, and a study was conducted to analyze treatment outcomes at Nanfang Hospital over 15 years, from 2008 to 2022.
- The research evaluated the survival rates of 3915 gastric cancer patients, revealing a 71.4% 5-year relative survival rate from 2018 to 2022, with significant improvements across various age groups and cancer stages.
- The study concludes that advancements in surgical techniques, management, and immunotherapy have contributed to notable increases in survival rates, providing valuable insights for future gastric cancer treatments.
