Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury （MIRI） is a common cardiac pathological process， resulting from the combined effects of multiple mechanisms involving metabolic changes and mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondrial quality control （MQC）， as a key regulatory mechanism， may serve as an important target for the prevention and treatment of MIRI. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated unique advantages in the field of improving MIRI， with multiple targets， multiple pathways， and low toxic and side effects. It has gained widespread clinical recognition and application. Through systematically organizing and summarizing recent studies on the targeting of MQC by monomers， active fractions， herb pairs， compound formulas and related preparations of TCM to improve MIRI， this paper finds that monomers and active fractions of TCM （such as schisandrin B， isoliquiritigenin， calenduloside E， berberine， Lycium barbarum polysaccharides and so on） as well as TCM herb pairs， compound formulas， and related preparations （couplet medicinals of Fuzi-Ganjiang， Yixin formula， Shuangshen ningxin capsule， Baijin formula， Yiqi huoxue decoction and so on）， can alleviate MIRI by activating MQC to reduce oxidative stress-induced damage， promote mitochondrial biogenesis， maintain mitochondrial fission/fusion homeostasis， regulate mitochondrial autophagy， and restore mitochondrial calcium homeostasis.

BACKGROUND: The effect of the interval between previous Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication and rescue treatment on therapeutic outcomes remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between eradication rates and treatment interval durations in H. pylori infections. METHODS: This prospective observational study was conducted from December 2021 to February 2023 at six tertiary hospitals in Shandong, China. We recruited patients who were positive for H. pylori infection and required rescue treatment. Demographic information, previous times of eradication therapy, last eradication therapy date, and history of antibiotic use data were collected. The patients were divided into four groups based on the rescue treatment interval length: Group A, ≥4 weeks and ≤3 months; Group B, >3 and ≤6 months; Group C, >6 and ≤12 months; and Group D, >12 months. The primary outcome was the eradication rate of H. pylori . Drug compliance and adverse events (AEs) were also assessed. Pearson's χ2 test or Fisher's exact test was used to compare eradication rates between groups. RESULTS: A total of 670 patients were enrolled in this study. The intention-to-treat (ITT) eradication rates were 88.3% (158/179) in Group A, 89.6% (120/134) in Group B, 89.1% (123/138) in Group C, and 87.7% (192/219) in Group D. The per-protocol (PP) eradication rates were 92.9% (156/168) in Group A, 94.5% (120/127) in Group B, 94.5% (121/128) in Group C, and 93.6% (190/203) in Group D. There was no statistically significant difference in the eradication rates between groups in either the ITT ( P = 0.949) or PP analysis ( P = 0.921). No significant differences were observed in the incidence of AEs ( P = 0.934) or drug compliance ( P = 0.849) between groups. CONCLUSION: The interval duration of rescue treatment had no significant effect on H. pylori eradication rates or the incidence of AEs. REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov , NCT05173493.

Insertion of external ventricular drainage (EVD) is an effective neurosurgical treatment approach. The accuracy of EVD insertion is related to potential complications, and the precise placement of the catheter tip can reduce the incidence of complications. With the progress of medical technology, the research and application of EVD catheterization technology are developing rapidly. This paper reviews the traditional blind catheterization, computed tomography, ultrasound guidance, mixed reality navigation system, laser positioning neural navigation, mobile device neural navigation, stereotactic system, and the visualization technology of the whole process of neuroendoscope assisted ventricle puncture to guide EVD catheterization to provide references for clinical decision-making by medical staff.

The ambiguity of etiology makes temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) "difficult-to-treat". Emerging evidence underscores the therapeutic promise of exosomes in osteoarthritis management. Nonetheless, challenges such as low yields and insignificant efficacy of current exosome therapies necessitate significant advances. Addressing lower strontium (Sr) levels in arthritic synovial microenvironment, we studied the effect of Sr element on exosomes and miRNA selectively loading in synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs). Here, we developed an optimized system that boosts the yield of SMSC-derived exosomes (SMSC-EXOs) and improves their miRNA profiles with an elevated proportion of beneficial miRNAs, while reducing harmful ones by pretreating SMSCs with Sr. Compared to untreated SMSC-EXOs, Sr-pretreated SMSC-derived exosomes (Sr-SMSC-EXOs) demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy by mitigating chondrocyte ferroptosis and reducing osteoclast-mediated joint pain in TMJOA. Our results illustrate Alix's crucial role in Sr-triggered miRNA loading, identifying miR-143-3p as a key anti-TMJOA exosomal component. Interestingly, this system is specifically oriented towards synovium-derived stem cells. The insight into trace element-driven, site-specific miRNA selectively loading in SMSC-EXOs proposes a promising therapeutic enhancement strategy for TMJOA.
