Article Abstract
Background: Polymorphisms of endothelial nitric oxide synthases (eNOS) have been associated with cancer susceptibility. Also, metabolic syndrome is associated with cancer malignancy. However, the effect of eNOS polymorphisms and metabolic syndrome on colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis remains unclear.
Objective: To investigated whether three genetic polymorphisms (- 786 T > C rs2070744, 4a4b rs869109213, and 894G > T rs1799983) in the eNOS and metabolic syndrome (MetS) were associated with CRC patient survival.
Methods: We genotyped three polymorphisms of eNOS (- 786 T > C, 4a4b, and 894G > T) in 312 CRC cases from the Korean population by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis.
Results: Although the three eNOS polymorphisms were not causative of MetS, the TT genotype of the 894G > T polymorphism was associated with a worse survival rate compared with the GG genotype in the CRC group with MetS than in the CRC group without MetS (5-years survival; adjusted HR = 54.777; 95% CI 5.073-591.487 and RFS; adjusted HR = 14.909; 95% CI 1.571-141.528).
Conclusions: The eNOS polymorphisms were not associated with metabolic syndrome prevalence in CRC patients. However, our findings suggest that the eNOS 894G > T polymorphism with MetS was associated with poor clinical outcomes.

Understanding the determinants of lifespan is a central objective in biology. Lifespan is shaped by dynamic, stage-specific changes in metabolism, energy allocation, and genome integrity. Heart rate serves as a physiological marker that reflects both life stage and metabolic state.

Background: Several studies have investigated the risk of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and its prevention with vitamin C. However, evidence regarding the effectiveness of vitamin C for prevention of CRPS development or recurrence after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is lacking.
Methods: This retrospective single-center observational cohort study, which utilized propensity-score matching (PSM), was conducted from January 2017 to December 2021.

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and sarcopenia are major global public health problems, and their coexistence significantly increases the risk of death. In recent years, this trend has become increasingly prominent in younger populations, posing a major public health challenge. Numerous studies have regarded reduced muscle mass as a reliable indicator for identifying pre-sarcopenia.

Purpose: To investigate the role of personal risk factors in the occurrence of the vascular, neurological and fibroproliferative disorders of the hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) in workers groups exposed to hand-transmitted vibration (HTV).
Methods: HAVS prevalence and incidence data were pooled across a series of cross-sectional studies (total sample: 1272 HTV workers, 579 controls) and prospective cohort studies (total sample: 377 HTV workers, 138 controls) conducted in Central and North-Eastern Italy. The pooled studies included detailed individual-level information about HTV exposure, personal risk factors, medical comorbidities and HAVS disorders.
