Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder characterized by abnormal synchronous neuronal discharges in the brain, often accompanied by various complications. The pathogenesis of epilepsy has not yet been fully elucidated. Optogenetics, a cutting-edge technique that integrates optics and genetics, enables precise modulation of specific neurons by regulating light-sensitive proteins. Utilizing optogenetic technology has facilitated the dissection of neural circuits involved in epileptic seizures within brain regions such as the hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus. It has also helped identify potential therapeutic targets for epilepsy-related complications, including cognitive impairment, sudden unexpected death in epilepsy and mood disorders.However, in the process of advancing from basic research to clinical treatment, its translational path is profoundly influenced by factors such as stimulation modes (the choice between open-loop and closed-loop systems), key parameters (light frequency), and intervention strategies (unilateral or bilateral target selection). The individualized customization of these factors represents the future direction for overcoming current translational bottlenecks and achieving precise treatment.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin (OH) D, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism in preschool children after fractures.Methods:General data of 200 preschool children with fractures admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of Shanxi Children’s Hospital from Apr. 2021 to Jun. 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The 25- (OH) D level of the children after fracture was determined by electrochemical luminescence method. According to the 25- (OH) D level, the children were divided into VitD deficiency group, VitD insufficient group and VitD sufficient group. The MCP-1 level, BMD and bone metabolism indexes of children among groups were compared and analyzed. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data in the paper. According to the data type, t test or χ2 test were used to compare among the groups, and the correlation of 25- (OH) D and MCP-1 levels with BMD and bone metabolism indexes was analyzed by Spearman and Pearson methods. Results:The difference of 25- (OH) D levels in different age childeren was statistically significant ( t = 145.26, P<0.05) , and the analysis showed that 26 cases were VitD deficient, 64 cases were VitD insufficient, and 110 cases were VitD sufficient; The mean BMD in VitD patients with different levels was significantly different ( F=783.25, P<0.05) ; With the increase of MCP-1, PTH and TPINP levels decreased ( F=78.98, 703.57, 243.27, P<0.05) , while the levels of PICP and BGP increased ( F=122.97, 340.32, P<0.05) ; 25- (OH) D was positively correlated with BMD, PICP and BGP ( r=0.93, 0.76, 0.87, P<0.05) , and negatively correlated with PTH and TPINP ( r=-0.94, -0.81, P<0.05) . MCP-1 was negatively correlated with BMD, PICP and BGP ( r=-0.54, -0.51, -0.56, P<0.05) , and positively correlated with PTH and TPINP ( r=0.57, 0.55, P<0.05) . Conclusions:The 25- (OH) D level is significantly correlated with BMD and bone metabolism indexes in preschool children after fracture, and the lack and insufficiency of VitD significantly affect BMD and bone metabolism status. At the same time, MCP-1 may also play an important role in metabolic changes after fracture. Therefore, in clinical treatment, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring and management of 25- (OH) D and MCP-1 levels after fracture in children, which is of great significance to promote bone healing and improve bone density.

Objective:To explore the effect of the combination of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty and pressure sensor on early postoperative outcomes.Methods:Twenty patients who underwent YUANHUA robot-assisted TKA between September 2024 and December 2024 were prospectively enrolled. After randomization and exclusion of one patient lost to follow-up, 10 patients were included in the pressure-sensor group and 10 in the control (no-pressure) group. In the pressure-sensor group, surgeons used a pressure sensor to assist in soft tissue balancing after osteotomy, whereas in the control group, balancing was performed empirically. In both groups, medial and lateral compartment pressures of the knee at 10°, 45°, 90°, and 120° of flexion were recorded using a pressure sensor prior to component implantation. Clinical outcomes were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months postoperatively using the visual analog scale (VAS), Knee Society Score (KSS), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and Forgotten Joint Score (FJS).Results:All 20 procedures were completed successfully, and patients were followed for at least 3 months. At 10° of knee flexion, the difference between medial and lateral compartment pressures was significantly smaller in the pressure-sensor group (0.99±59.44 N) than in the control group (97.18±84.34 N; t=-2.948, P=0.009). At 45° of flexion, the corresponding differences were -12.99±36.20 N and 51.48±76.40 N, respectively ( t=-2.411, P=0.032). No significant differences in VAS, KSS, or WOMAC scores were observed between groups preoperatively ( P>0.05). At 3 months postoperatively, the KSS was significantly higher in the pressure-sensor group (174.40±16.39) compared with the control group (138.50±38.35, t=2.722, P=0.014). The WOMAC and VAS scores were significantly lower in the pressure-sensor group (12.70±11.00 and 1.20±0.92, respectively) than in the control group (27.30±18.54 and 2.70±2.00; t=-2.142, P=0.046; t=-2.153, P=0.045). At 2 weeks and 3 months postoperatively, the FJS scores in the pressure-sensor group [70.00±26.06 and 88.07(83.52, 95.83)] were significantly higher than those in the control group [37.92±32.42 and 50.00(32.50, 67.75); t=2.439, P=0.025; Z=-2.466, P=0.014]. Conclusion:The combination of precise osteotomy using robot-assisted TKA and soft tissue balancing guided by a pressure sensor provided more accurate medial-lateral compartment balance and significantly enhanced early postoperative clinical outcomes.

Research shows that epileptic seizures are essentially due to abnormal functions of neural circuits. Optogenetics regulates neural circuits by specifically expressing light-sensitive proteins in target neurons, which has now become an important tool in the research of temporal lobe epilepsy. Studies have shown that optogenetics focuses on brain regions such as the hippocampus, medial septal nucleus, cerebellum, and basal ganglia in studying temporal lobe epilepsy. This article reviews the research progress of optogenetics in exploring the pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of temporal lobe epilepsy, aiming to provide new ideas for temporal lobe epilepsy treatment.
