Objectives: Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) is a widely used questionnaire in epidemiological studies for assessing the physical activity level of elderly. This study aims to translate and validate PASE in Chinese population. Design: Cross-sectional study.

Background. With the aging population, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the elderly represents a significant health burden. We aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy and tolerability of single-agent sorafenib in treating elderly patients with advanced HCC versus the younger population.Methods. We retrospectively analyzed a consecutive cohort of advanced HCC patients with Child-Pugh A or B liver function and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score of 0 -2 treated with sorafenib. The patients were categorized into older (age >70 years) and younger (age <70 years) groups. Treatment outcomes and related adverse events (AEs) were compared.Results. In total, 172 patients, 35 in the older (median age, 73 years) and 137 in the younger (median age, 55

Weight-training exercise increased knee muscle strength and the patellofemoral joint contact area, which could reduce mechanical stress in the joint, improving pain and function in subjects with PFPS.

The Chinese translated version of Kujala scale is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing the patellofemoral pain associated functional disturbances among the patient cohort.
