ObjectivesTo examine the cognitive performance among the elderly and associated influencing factors.MethodsUsing data from the six issues of Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) conducted from 1998 to 2011, selecting adults aged 80 years or above, multilevel hierarchical model was utilized to estimate the trend of the elderly's cognitive performance and its influencing factors.ResultsA total of 128 cases were studied. The descent in MMSE was not significant with the growth of age (P=0.834). Female's MMSE scores were lower than male's (P=0.011) and descended quicker (P=0.015). Furthermore, ADL status and level of leisure activity were significantly related to the cognitive performance of both male and female (P<0.05).ConclusionsParticipation in leisure activities were the crucial protective factor for cognitive performance. It's recommended that measures be taken respectively for elderly males and females, and policies be stressed to enhance their cognitive performance, thus to guarantee their healthy aging.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of coronary artery bypass grafting in the treatment of coronary artery disease patients aged over 70 years. Methods A total of 160 patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting from January 2013 to December 2017. There were 94 males and 66 females at age of 70–85 (76.67±2.33) years. Operations were performed by using sternal median incision with the assistance of local myocardial surface fixator and shunt plug, and the saphenous vein and internal mammary arterywere used as grafted vessels. Results All the patients were received successful off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting without death, and the cardiac function improved significantly. There were 62 patients with the internal mammary artery bridge and 98 patients with the whole vein bridge. All the patients were followed-up for 1 to 4 years. All the patients had obvious relief of angina pectoris. Conclusion Off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting for the treatment of elderly patients with coronary heart disease is an effective and safe operation, especially for patients with renal insufficiency, cerebrovascular disease, respiratory disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the research progress in the selection of metabolic bariatric procedures, efficacy, safety, complication prevention, and long-term management for elderly patients, so as to provide references for surgical decision-making and perioperative management in future metabolic and bariatric surgery for elderly obese patients. MethodA review of recent domestic and international literature on metabolic and bariatric surgery in elderly patients was conducted. ResultsWith the intensification of societal aging, the incidence of obesity and related metabolic diseases among the elderly population has significantly increased. Metabolic and bariatric surgery has been proven to effectively reduce weight and improve obesity-related metabolic diseases in elderly patients. Current guidelines no longer consider age an absolute contraindication for surgery. Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) are the most commonly used procedures internationally. SG is superior to RYGB in terms of surgical safety, while RYGB has greater advantages in improving metabolic diseases. Although the postoperative mortality and complications risks in elderly obese patients are higher than those in younger obese patients, strict preoperative assessment and individualized procedure selection can significantly reduce these risks. ConclusionsMetabolic and bariatric surgery can serve as an effective treatment for elderly obese patients, offering comprehensive benefits in weight loss and metabolic improvement. Procedure selection requires individualized assessment, balancing the patient’s baseline condition and metabolic needs. Postoperative success hinges on systematic long-term follow-up and management to ensure sustained benefits and safety. Future efforts should focus on clarifying the definitions or standards of “elderly” and “obesity,” followed by more large-sample, long-term follow-up randomized controlled studies to validate the safety and efficacy of metabolic and bariatric surgery.
Objective To observe the clinical effect of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) in elderly patients with right colon cancer. MethodsA total of 90 elderly patients who were diagnosed as right colon cancer and underwent radical resection of right colon cancer in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from April 2018 to October 2018 were enrolled prospectively. These patients were randomly divided into two groups: ERAS group (n=44) receiving ERAS during perioperative period and control group (n=46) undergoing conventional surgical treatment. To compare the occurrence of postoperative complications, the recovery of gastrointestinal function, and the changes of serum inflammatory factors between the two groups before and after operation. Results① There was no significant difference in the incidence of total postoperative complications and the incidence of complications (including anastomotic leakage, incision infection, postoperative bleeding, intestinal obstruction, cardiovascular complications, pulmonary infection, and urethral infection） between the ERAS group and the control group (P>0.05). ② The first anal exhaust time, postoperative fever time, postoperative hospitalization time, quality of life score, and hospitalization cost of the ERAS group were better than those of the control group (P<0.05). ③ There were no significant difference in serum IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP levels between the two groups before operation (P>0.05), but on the 1st and 3rd day after operation, the three indexes of the control group were higher than those of the ERAS group (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of the idea of ERAS in the elderly patients with right colon cancer can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function, shorten the hospitalization time, and improve the clinical outcome.

Objective To investigate the operative procedure and the therapeutic effects of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients with rebuild septum bronchiale in artificial femoral head replacement. Methods From October 2005 to October 2007, 113 elderly patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with artificial femoral head replacement with fixation of femoral greater trochanter and smaller trochanter in the help of bone cement in 58 cases (test group) and with γ-type bone nail in 55 cases (control group). In test group, there were 21 males and 37 females with an average age of 75 years, including 10 cases of type IIIA, 16 cases of type IIIB and 32 cases of type IV according to Evans-Jenson standard. In control group, there were 17 males and 38 females with an average age of 72.5 years,including 13 cases of type IIIA, 14 cases of type IIIB and 28 cases of type IV according to Evans-Jenson standard. All fractures were caused by fall damage. The disease course was 3 hours to 7.5 days (mean 1.4 days). The patients of two group compl icated with osteoporosis, and compl icated by one or several compl ications of coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and chronic bronchitis. And all patients did not had fracture at other sites. There was no significant difference in general data between two groups (P gt; 0.05). Results The operations were successful, the incision healed by first intention. There were significant differences in operation time, operative blood loss and blood-transfusion between two groups (P lt; 0.05). The two group were followed 12-36 months. There were significant differences (P lt; 0.05) in the incidence rate of compl ication and the excellent and good rate of hip function (by Harris standard) between the test group (3.4% and 93.1%) and the control group (16.4% and 70.9%) 12 months after operation. Conclusion The aged patients with intertrochanteric fracture can get good result through caput femoris replacement, and rebuild septum bronchiale is of great significance.
