This study aimed to identify potential trajectory groups of successful aging in older adults and to explore the influencing factors of each trajectory group. We used four waves of longitudinal data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study from 2011 to 2018, which involved 1,949 older adults. The developmental trajectories were determined using growth mixture modeling (GMM), and the influencing factors of each trajectory group were identified using multinomial logistic analysis. We identified three different groups of successful aging trajectories: high level-declining group (45%), medium level-declining group (39%), and low level-steady group (16%). Gender, education, marital status, place of residence, self-rated health, life satisfaction, and retirement pension were the influencing factors for the high level-declining group. Influencing factors for the medium level-declining group included gender, education, self-rated health, life satisfaction, and retirement pension. Healthcare professionals should formulate targeted measures according to different trajectory categories to promote successful aging in older adults.

The ability to integrate semantic information into the context of a sentence is essential for human communication. Several studies have shown that the predictability of a final keyword based on the sentence context influences semantic integration on the behavioral, neurophysiological, and neural level. However, the architecture of the underlying network interactions for semantic integration across the lifespan remains unclear.

Invasive mucormycosis is an aggressive fungal infection characterized by rapid progression, primarily impacting immunocompromised individuals. Herein, we report a case of splenic infarction in association with gastrointestinal fistula and brain abscess as a rare presentation of mucormycosis biopsy, proven in a 56-year-old patient diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. The patient initially sought medical attention with a 3-week history of fever, night sweats, and malaise.

Article Synopsis
  • Highly reactive metabolic intermediates can modify amino acid side chains, leading to non-enzymatic posttranslational modifications (nPTMs) of proteins, especially during high metabolic stress.
  • Accumulation of nPTMs in long-lived proteins can affect protein structure and function, linking them to diseases like cataracts, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.
  • The review emphasizes the need for detailed research on nPTMs in neurodegenerative diseases, discussing their formation, impact on cellular processes, and advocating for advanced methods to study their effects on protein aggregation.

Introduction: With ageing there are changes in the ability to orient attention, which affect more endogenous than exogenous orienting. However, orienting attention by the gaze direction of others shares characteristics of both exogenous and endogenous attention and it is unclear how it is affected by ageing. Being able to orient attention by the gaze direction of others is important to establish successful social interactions (i.

One of the major age-related declines in female reproductive function is the reduced quantity and quality of oocytes. Here we demonstrate that structural changes in the zona pellucida (ZP) were associated with decreased fertilization rates from 34- to 38-week-old female mice, equivalent to the mid-reproductive of human females. In middle-aged mouse ovaries, the decline in the number of transzonal projections was accompanied by a decrease in cumulus cell-oocyte interactions, resulting in a deterioration of the oocyte quality.
