“…Spiders belong to Arthropoda, the Araneae of the Arachnoidea, most of them can spin silk to make a net, which have a strong ability of survival and adaptation [ 43 ]. At present, there are more than 40,000 species of spiders in the world, which are distributed all over the world except Antarctica.…”

“…Spider silk in industry can make high-strength structural materials, wheel tires, fishing nets, etc. [ 43 ]. Besides, spider silk has the potential ability to become bioengineering materials in medical and health care owes to its natural protein fiber and high biocompatibility with the human body, for instance, fibrous skeleton of heart, vascular stents, artificial joint ligaments and so on [ 53 , 54 ].…”

“…They can also be in prospect of producing artificial tendons, blood vessels, bio-skin, hemostatic membranes, biofilms used in burn surgery and drug delivery carriers [ 55 ]. Furthermore, spider silk can also be utilized as a suture for surgical operations with the advantages of the high toughness and biodegradability [ 43 , 49 , 52 ]. Nevertheless, there is no substantial scientific evidence about using spider silk to make thread-lift sutures.…”

Embedding thread lift rhytidectomy, also known as “thread lifting” in China, with the natures of simple operation, less trauma and quick recovery, is progressively used in clinical practice as a new technology of face lifting. Herewith, a brief introduction of the previous advances of thread lifting techniques and materials in the facial beauty industry, combined with the discussion on various types of sutures, common complications, and the site of actions were provided. The main limitations of present thread lifting material include: (1) the use of non-absorbable sutures is liable to cause allergies and a series of complications; (2) the absorbable sutures are easily degradation, and people need to reshape in a relatively short period. Therefore, the high biocompatible spider silk was proposed as a novel material of thread lifting suture and related devices, the advantages and preliminary achievements on spider silk were also addressed.

“…A dramatic increase in the proportion of older adults living alone has been observed over the years. In China, 9.7% of older adults lived alone in 2010 ( 2 ), with the rate increasing to 23.3% in rural regions in 2015 ( 3 ). As of 2018, the number of people living alone in China has reached 240 million, increasing by 0.53% annually ( 4 ).…”

Background and Objectives Cross-sectional studies have suggested a potential association between living alone and hypertension risk, but longitudinal evidence remains limited. We aimed to investigate the correlation between living alone, alterations in living arrangements, and hypertension risk among older adults utilizing a population-based longitudinal design. Research Design and Methods The study included 8,782 older adults (≥65 years) without hypertension from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey. Participants were surveyed during the 2008 and 2011/2012 waves and were subsequently followed up in the next wave. Hypertension was defined as systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, or a self-reported diagnosis of hypertension by a physician. Cox proportional hazards model was used to explore the association between living alone and hypertension. Additionally, we analyzed how switching living arrangements during the follow-up period affects hypertension. Results During a median follow-up of 2.8 (1.7-3.0) years, 2,750 hypertension events occurred. Compared with living with family, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval [CI]) of living alone was 1.19 (1.06-1.33) for hypertension. Similarly, persisting in living alone during follow-up increased the risk of hypertension compared to continuing to live with family (HR 1.24; 95% CI 1.06-1.45). Compared to married participants who continued to live with family, widowed/divorced participants who transitioned from living with family to living alone experienced a higher risk of hypertension (HR 1.21; 95% CI 1.00-1.47). Stratified analyses showed that living alone was only associated with an increased hypertension risk for participants aged >80, men, and rural residents. Discussion and Implications Living alone at baseline or persisting in living alone during follow-up correlated with increased hypertension risk. Divorced/widowed individuals who transitioned from living with family to living alone were still at risk. These results indicate that social support and living arrangements may be important in preventing hypertension in older adults.
