Atherosclerosis in elderly patients may be the leading cause of ISR. Therefore, we aim to explore the relationship between vascular calcification-associated factors and ISR occurrence. Elderly patients were enrolled according to standard inclusion and exclusion criteria. The serum fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), and Klotho levels were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The degree of coronary artery stenosis of the patients with CAD before operation was assessed using the Gensini score. The correlation was analyzed using Pearson analysis. The prediction value was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The patients with CAD were classified into the ISR group with 97 cases and the non-ISR (NISR) group with 349 cases. The Gensini score, serum FGF23, and HIF-1α levels increased while Klotho levels decreased in patients with CAD of the ISR group compared with those of the NISR group. Pearson analysis showed that FGF23 and HIF-1α positively correlated while Klotho negatively correlated to the Gensini score. ROC analysis showed all three factors could effectively predict the occurrence of ISR. Furthermore, the joint had a more effective prediction value for ISR occurrence. The dynamic analysis presented that the serum FGF23 and HIF-1α levels dramatically increased while Klotho levels decreased in patients with CAD after 1-year follow-up. Serum FGF23 and HIF-1α positively correlated while serum Klotho negatively correlated to ISR. Conclusively, these three factors effectively predicted the occurrence of ISR.</p>","PeriodicalId":94189,"journal":{"name":"Rejuvenation research","volume":" ","pages":"45-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142635251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study demonstrated that predictive nursing interventions, guided by comprehensive risk assessment, yielded significant reductions in postoperative complications, particularly deep vein thrombosis, in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. In addition, patients who received predictive nursing care experienced notable benefits, including shorter hospital stays, heightened satisfaction levels, enhanced hip function, improved ADL scores, and reduced anxiety levels compared with those receiving standard care.

Thirty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, including a control group, an RA model group, and a moxibustion group. An RA model was created through the injection of Freund's complete adjuvant. In the moxibustion group, rats were treated with moxibustion at acupoints of \"Shenshu\" and \"Zusanli.\" A total of three courses of treatment were conducted. Then the thickness of foot pad was measured, joint pathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, the proportion of CD4<sup>+</sup>T and CD8<sup>+</sup>T in peripheral blood was detected by flow cytometry, the expression levels of Tim-3 and Gal-9 in synovium were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the expressions of CD4<sup>+</sup>T and CD8<sup>+</sup>T in synovium were detected by immunofluorescence. HE staining showed that the synovial tissue of the control group was smooth and neatly arranged without inflammatory cell infiltration. In the model group, the joint space was narrowed, the synovial tissue had congestion and edema, and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated. Compared with the model group, in the moxibustion group, the joint space narrowed with synovium hyperemia and edema, and the level of inflammatory cell infiltration decreased. Flow cytometry showed that compared with the model group, CD4<sup>+</sup>T expression in the moxibustion group was downregulated, while CD8<sup>+</sup>T expression was upregulated.
