Objectives: This study aimed to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal association between multimorbidity and memory-related diseases (MDs) among Chinese middle-aged and older adults.
Methods: This study included 8,338 subjects who participated in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Logistic regression and Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to explore the association and effect of multimorbidity on MDs.
Results: The overall prevalence of MDs was 2.52%, and the mean multimorbidity number was 1.87. In a cross-sectional analysis, compared with the no multimorbidity group, groups of multimorbidity with four or more non-communicable diseases (NCDs) were more likely to have MDs (OR: 6.49, 95%CI: 4.35-9.68). Within 2.7 years of follow-up, 82 cases of MDs (1.12%) were reported, and participants with multimorbidity were more likely to have new-onset MDs than participants without multimorbidity (HR: 2.93, 95%CI: 1.74-4.96).
Conclusion: Multimorbidity is associated with MDs among Chinese middle-aged and older adults. This relationship gradually strengthens with the severity of multimorbidity, which indicates that early prevention for people with multimorbidity may reduce the risk of MDs.

Object: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) have a high risk of serious infection, in particular severe pneumonia. This study aimed to investigate the transcriptional landscape, lower respiratory tract (LRT) microbiome and metabolomic profiles in the lung of RA-ILD patients with pneumonia.
Method: A total of 10 RA-ILD with pneumonia were enrolled in this study.
Cause-Specific Mortality and Prognostic Impact of Comorbidity in Japanese Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Background: Due to its rarity, there are very limited data available on the cause of death (COD) and its association with comorbidities in Japanese chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients.
Methods: To investigate the prevalence of comorbidities and their impact on cause-specific mortality, we retrospectively reviewed 121 Japanese patients with CLL.
Results: The median age was 69 years, with 47.
Polypharmacy Associated With the Simultaneous Prevalence of Dry Eye Due to Aqueous Deficiency and Hyposalivation in Adults Over 50 Years Old.

Introduction Dry eye and hyposalivation, often linked to Sjögren's syndrome (SS), are prevalent among adults. However, systemic diseases and their associated medications also play a role, as drug interactions can intensify the effects of certain medications. Objective To assess whether polypharmacy is associated with the co-occurrence of aqueous-deficient dry eye (ADDE) and hyposalivation in adults aged 50 years and older without SS.

We present a rare case of asymptomatic allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) concurrent with active pulmonary tuberculosis. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is an immunological pulmonary disorder characterized by hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus, while pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a complex infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The association between pulmonary tuberculosis infections and Aspergillus infections remains a fascinating area of inquiry.

The decline in intestinal stem cell (ISC) function is a hallmark of aging, contributing to compromised intestinal regeneration and increased incidence of age-associated diseases. Novel therapeutic agents that can rejuvenate aged ISCs are of paramount importance for extending healthspan. Here, we report on the discovery of Chrysosplenosides I and A (CAs 1 & 2), flavonol glycosides from the Xizang medicinal plant Maxim.
