It is important to promote illness recovery to guarantee older adults’ quality of life. The relationship between mental well-being and illness recovery among older adults was discussed using the biopsychosocial model. A total of 1,198 Chinese older adults aged over 60 years participated. The survey included questions about mental well-being, physical and mental illness diagnosed in old age, and general recovery status. The results showed that mental well-being was a protective factor for illness recovery in older adults. Older adults with the lowest mental well-being were 50.3% less likely to recover from illness than those with a high level of mental well-being, while older adults with moderate mental well-being were 29.8% less likely to recover. Higher mental well-being is related to better recovery status, lower treatment cost, shorter treatment duration, fewer treatment methods, and a lower number of comorbidities. The integration of mental well-being assessments and interventions into health programs is a useful complement to the promotion of physical and mental health for older adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective To detect the expression of polyligand proteoglycan 1 (SDCl) protein in the colon cancer tissues, to analyze the relationship between SDCl protein expression and clinicopathological characteristics, epithelial-mesenchymal transition markers E-cadherin, N-cadherin, and the prognosis of patients. Methods The paraffin samples of cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues from 130 patients with colon cancer were collected. lmmunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression levels of SDCl, E-cadherin, and N-cadherin proteins in the tissue samples. The relationship between expression of SDCl protein in the cancer tissues and the clinical pathological characteristics of the patients were analyzed. Kaplan Meier survival model was used to analyze the influence of SDCl protein expression on the prognosis of patients. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between SDCl protein expression and E-cadherin, Ncadherin protein expression. Results The positive rate of SDCl protein expression in the colon cancer tissues was 22.31 % (29/130), which was lower than that of the adjacent tissues [91. 54% (119/130)], with statistically significant difference (P < 0. 05). In the colon cancer tissues, the expression of SDCl protein was related to the degree of tumor differentiation, depth of invasion, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and TNM staging (all P < 0. 05). Log Rank test results showed that the 5-year overall survival rate of patients with negative expression of SDCl protein was lower than that of patients with positive expression of SDCl protein (P < 0. 05). Spearman correlation test results showed that in the colon cancer tissues, the expression of SDCl protein was positively correlated with the expression of E-cadherin protein (rs = 0. 753, P = 0. 016), and the expression of SDCl protein was negatively correlated with the expression of N-cadherin protein (rs = - 0. 682, P = 0. 028). Conclusions The expression of SDCl protein in the colon cancer tissues is low, and it is related to the malignant progression and poor prognosis of patients. Decreased expression of SDCl protein can reduce the expression of E-cadherin protein, increase the expression of N-cadherin protein, and induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and then promote invasion and metastasis.

Radio-loud quasars (RLQs) are more X-ray luminous than predicted by the X-ray–optical/UV relation (i.e. |$L_\mathrm{x}\propto L_\mathrm{uv}^\gamma$|⁠) for radio-quiet quasars (RQQs). The excess X-ray emission depends on the radio-loudness parameter (R) and radio spectral slope (αr). We construct a uniform sample of 729 optically selected RLQs with high fractions of X-ray detections and αr measurements. We find that steep-spectrum radio quasars (SSRQs; αr ≤ −0.5) follow a quantitatively similar |$L_\mathrm{x}\propto L_\mathrm{uv}^{\gamma }$| relation as that for RQQs, suggesting a common coronal origin for the X-ray emission of both SSRQs and RQQs. However, the corresponding intercept of SSRQs is larger than that for RQQs and increases with R , suggesting a connection between the radio jets and the configuration of the accretion flow. Flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs; αr > −0.5) are generally more X-ray luminous than SSRQs at given L uv and R , likely involving more physical processes. The emergent picture is different from that commonly assumed where the excess X-ray emission of RLQs is attributed to the jets. We thus perform model selection to compare critically these different interpretations, which prefers the coronal scenario with a corona–jet connection. A distinct jet component is likely important for only a small portion of FSRQs. The corona–jet, disc–corona, and disc–jet connections of RLQs are likely driven by independent physical processes. Furthermore, the corona–jet connection implies that small-scale processes in the vicinity of supermassive black holes, probably associated with the magnetic flux/topology instead of black hole spin, are controlling the radio-loudness of quasars.
