Background And Objectives: To investigate the effect of accelerated rehabilitation combined with enteral nutrition on surgically treated lung cancer patients.

Methods And Study Design: In total, 150 lung cancer patients treated in our hospital from January 2017 to January 2018 were retrospectively analysed. Sixty-six patients were randomly divided into a control group with conventional nutrition (Con group) and an accelerated rehabilitation combined with enteral nutrition group (EN group). Postoperative drainage; total hospitalization time; total hospitalization expenses; and albumin, haemoglobin and total lymphocyte counts (TLC) before and after treatment were compared.

Results: The serum albumin, prealbumin and haemoglobin in both groups were decreased after operation and were significantly higher in the EN group (p<0.05) than in the Con group. The TLC decreased in both groups after operation and were significantly higher in the EN group than in the con group. The postoperative drainage volume, total hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenses were significantly lower in the EN group than in the Con group (p<0.05).

Conclusions: The effect of accelerated rehabilitation combined with enteral nutrition in lung cancer surgery patients is clear. Surgery leads to stress, which enhances catabolism and reduces the synthesis of carbohydrates, protein, and fat, increasing patients' nutritional risk. Nutritional support combined with fast-track minimally invasive thoracic surgery for at-risk lung cancer patients who undergo preoperative nutritional screening and assessment can reduce postoperative complications and hospitalization time and improve nutritional indicators, immunity, respiratory function recovery and clinical outcomes, leading to socioeconomic benefits.

The relationship between serum uric acid and accelerated aging in middle-aged and older adults: a prospective cohort study based on CHARLS.

J Nutr Health Aging

January 2025

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, First Affiliated Hospital, College of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, 310003, China. Electronic address:

Objective: This study seeks to determine the association between serum uric acid (SUA) and accelerated aging among middle-aged and older adults in China, as well as assess the relationship between SUA trajectories and the risk of accelerated aging.

Methods: We utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), selecting middle-aged and older participants who completed follow-ups between 2011 and 2015. Biological age was estimated using the Klemera-Doubal method, and accelerated aging was determined by calculating the difference between an individual's biological age and their chronological age.

Background And Purpose: Children with myopathies often experience muscle weakness in their lower limbs. However, the upper limbs are also affected and, at the same time, play a key role in daily living activities as well as in transfers and assisted mobility using auxiliary devices. The objective was to assess the performance of the elbow flexor and extensor muscles through static and dynamic contractions in children with myopathies and in their typical peers.

Late-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Rheumatol Int

January 2025

Department of Rheumatology, Immunology and Internal Medicine, University Hospital in Kraków, Kraków, Poland.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD) that results from the dysregulation of multiple innate and adaptive immune pathways. Late-onset SLE (Lo-SLE) is the term used when the disease is first diagnosed after 50-65 years, though the standard age cut-off remains undefined. Defining "late-onset" as lupus with onset after 50 years is more biologically plausible as this roughly corresponds to the age of menopause.

Health service policies are evolving into qualified health care providing best possible outcomes as well as focused on patient satisfaction. Hence the qualification valued health care includes patient satisfaction measurements, it is suggested to get feedbacks during the assessment of outcomes from the patient's perspective. Aging of the world population accelerates demand on rehabilitation medicine which means recovering impairments so is directly related with quality of life.
