Migraine is a common neurological disorder with a complex pathogenesis that is currently not fully understood;however,the role of mitochondrial function in migraine pathogenesis has recently attracted widespread attention.This review considers the latest research progress on the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction and migraine,including mitochondrial energy metabolism,oxidative stress,calcium homeostasis,and neuroinflammation.We introduce the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of migraine,and provide a detailed exploration of the key role of mitochondria in these processes.Mitochondrial dysfunction may lead to increased neuronal excitability,abnormal vasoconstriction,and inflammatory responses,thereby inducing migraine.Based on the evidence of mitochondrial involvement in the pathogenesis of migraine,we propose future research directions and potential treatment strategies,with the aim of providing new ideas for the prevention and treatment of migraine.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognostic factors of newly-treated elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients with intermediate-risk karyotype.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted. A total of 87 newly-treated elderly AML patients with intermediate-risk karyotype in the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China (Anhui Provincial Hospital) from January 2013 to December 2023 were selected. The clinical characteristics were summarized. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model was used to make univariate and multivariate analyses of prognostic factors.Results:The median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 87 patients was 69 (60, 87) years. The patients with normal karyotype and abnormal karyotype accounted for 77.1% (67/87), 22.9% (20/87), respectively. A total of 74 patients (85.1%) had 1 or more gene mutations, of which FLT3-ITD, NPM1 mutation, CEBPA mutation and WT1 high expression accounted for 29.9% (26/87), 26.4% (23/87), 19.5% (17/87), and 65.5% (57/87), respectively; additionally, 44.7% (39/87) of patients had 2 or more gene mutations. The objective response rate of patients after induction therapy was 47.7% (41/87), while the relapse rate was 73.2% (30/41). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 7.8 months, and the median overall survival (OS) time was 12.1 months. Univariate analysis result revealed that age, FLT3-ITD, hypomethylating agents, and minimal residual disease complete remission (MDR-CR) were factors influencing the OS of newly-treated elderly AML patients with intermediate-risk karyotype (all P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that MDR-CR was an independent risk factor for OS (yes vs. no: HR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.14-0.51, P < 0.001). Conclusions:Newly-treated elderly AML patients with intermediate-risk karyotype have a high relapse rate and poor prognosis, and MDR-CR is identified as an independent influencing factor for the prognosis of these patients.

Through reviewing literature on thyroid cancer management strategies, this article discusses the problems of active monitoring strategies, the real implementation status, and the hidden dangers of thermal ablation as a downgrade treatment. It points out that further research is needed to accurately identify low-risk PTMCs and implement active monitoring methods. The improvement in the 5-year survival rate of thyroid cancer is due to standardized diagnosis and treatment. At present, it is still too early to downgrade the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid cancer in China. The World Health Organization recommends the three early principles of early detection, early diagnosis, and early treatment for the treatment of malignant tumors as the fundamental principles of thyroid cancer diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND:The medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is the most commonly used method for the treatment of lateral dislocation of patella at present.The ultimate goal is to adjust the patella to the normal anatomical position and restore the patella track.Currently,the main core problem of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is the selection of its femoral end fixation point. OBJECTIVE:Finite element method was used to analyze the limiting effect of the reconstructed medial patellofemoral ligament on the patella at different flexion angles of the knee joint,and to simulate the limiting effect of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction at different fixation points of the femoral end on the patellofemoral end,so as to provide help for the selection of fixation points of the femoral end during the reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament. METHODS:A finite element model of knee including bone and soft tissue was established according to the extracted CT and MRI data of knee joint.When the knee flexion angle of 30° and 60° was simulated,the medial patellofemoral ligament was constructed by selecting different fixation points of femur end.The contact stress and contact area between patellofemoral joints at different points were compared,as well as the transverse binding force on patella.The equilength of the medial patellofemoral ligament constructed from the same fixation point of the femoral end at different flexion angles was verified to study the effect of various reconstruction positions of the medial patellofemoral ligament. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)A three-dimensional finite element model of the knee joint at 30° and 60° flexion angles was established to construct the medial patellofemoral ligament at different fixation points of the femur end.The medial patellofemoral ligament constructed at the same position of the femur end had usable isometric length at different flexion angles.(2)After the lateral displacement of the patella,in the transverse direction,the medial patellofemoral ligament constructed at different fixed points of the femur end produced different transverse binding force on the patella,and the transverse binding force was maximum at the anterior 10 mm and minimum at the proximal 5 mm.In the longitudinal direction,the location and size of stress concentration points on the patella cartilage were roughly the same,and the contact pressure did not change much.However,the contact area between the patella cartilage and the femoral cartilage was significantly different,with the maximum contact area at 10 mm at the front end and the minimum contact area at 5 mm at the proximal end.(3)The medial patellofemoral ligament constructed at the center of the saddle region has a good lateral restriction on the patella,but does not cause excessive restriction on the patella in the longitudinal restriction,and can achieve a good restriction on the patella.

BACKGROUND:The injury of the anterior talofibular ligament is most common in joint ligament injuries.The use of the finite element method to simulate ankle joint motion has the advantages of short experimental time,complex boundary conditions that can be simulated,and mechanical properties. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effect of the anterior talofibular ligament on the stress distribution of the talus trochlea and the stability of the ankle joint. METHODS:A finite element model of the ankle was established based on CT and MRI images of patients with anterior talofibular ligament injury who were followed up for two months after Brostr?m surgery to simulate ankle joint stress in patients with anterior talofibular ligament injury before and after surgery during normal gait cycles(ground phase,neutral phase,and off-ground phase).The stress distribution and maximum stress value of the talus bone cartilage were measured before and after surgery,and their differences were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under normal gait,the anterior talofibular ligament has a certain protective effect on the talus trochlea in any position,reducing the wear of the ankle joint on the talus trochlea during movement.In all three phases,stress concentration was observed on the surface of the talus trochlea near the inner side of the ankle joint.The influence of the anterior talofibular ligament on the stability of the talus trochlear is much greater in the off-ground phase than in the ground phase and neutral phase.Under certain circumstances,the greater the torque on the ankle joint,the more significant the effect of the anterior talofibular ligament on the stability of the talus trochlea.
