1.Relationship between mitochondrial biogenesis abnormalities and Parkinson disease
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(2):126-132
Parkinson disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with motor and cognitive impairments as the main clinical symptoms. The disease is characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta and the formation of Lewy bodies, which are eosinophilic inclusions composed of α-synuclein, in the remaining dopaminergic neurons. The disease predominantly affects middle-aged and elderly individuals. Oxidative stress caused by mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to the loss of dopaminergic neurons, so mitochondrial dysfunction is considered as the main cause of Parkinson disease. Mitochondrial biogenesis has an important effect on the function of mitochondria. Therefore, abnormality of the regulation system of mitochondrial biogenesis is closely related to the occurrence and development of Parkinson disease. This review focuses on the regulatory mechanism of mitochondrial biogenesis control system and aims to provide promising therapeutic targets for Parkinson disease.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(9):1342-1345
Objective:
To analyze the prevalence trends of different types of elevated blood pressure and their association with nutritional status among primary and secondary school students in Inner Mongolia from 2019 to 2024, providing references for targeted prevention strategies.
Methods:
From September 2019 to 2024, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 12 primary and secondary schools from each league city in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. A total of 177 108, 137 758, 190 182, 180 084 , 188 056, 180 351 primary and secondary school students (excluding grades one to three of primary school) were included for physical examination. The correlation between their nutritional status and high blood pressure was analyzed based on the basic situation of 129 821 primary and secondary school students who completed a questionnaire survey at the same time in 2024. Statistical analysis was conducted using a Chi-square test and multiple Logistic regression model.
Results:
From 2019 to 2024, the detection rates of elevated blood pressure were 13.60%, 13.68%, 17.60%, 17.24%, 14.77% and 15.96%, respectively. The rates for isolated systolic hypertension were 4.24%, 5.83%, 7.26%, 7.19%, 6.24% and 6.93%; isolated diastolic hypertension rates were 6.38%, 4.99%, 6.23 %, 6.41%, 5.39% and 5.66%; and combined systolic and diastolic hypertension rates were 2.97%, 2.86%, 4.11%, 3.65%, 3.14 % and 3.36%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that girls, junior high school, senior high school, overweight, and obesity were positively associated with elevated blood pressure risk ( OR =1.27, 1.25, 1.32, 1.66, 3.07, all P <0.05); conversely, county residence, Mongolian ethnicity, and other ethnicities showed negative associations ( OR =0.90, 0.93, 0.90, all P <0.05).
Conclusions
Overweight and obesity among children and adolescents are closely related to various types of elevated blood pressure. Prevention strategies should prioritize effectively controlling weight issues among children and adolescents, thereby effectively reducing the incidence of elevated blood pressure.

Digital technologies have become an integral part of complete denture restoration. With advancement in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), tools such as intraoral scanning, facial scanning, 3D printing, and numerical control machining are reshaping the workflow of complete denture restoration. Unlike conventional methods that rely heavily on clinical experience and manual techniques, digital technologies offer greater precision, predictability, and efficacy. They also streamline the process by reducing the number of patient visits and improving overall comfort. Despite these improvements, the clinical application of digital complete denture restoration still faces challenges that require further standardization. The major issues include appropriate case selection, establishing consistent digital workflows, and evaluating long-term outcomes. To address these challenges and provide clinical guidance for practitioners, this expert consensus outlines the principles, advantages, and limitations of digital complete denture technology. The aim of this review was to offer practical recommendations on indications, clinical procedures and precautions, evaluation metrics, and outcome assessment to support digital restoration of complete denture in clinical practice.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of autologous platelet rich gel (APG) in the treatment of type 2 diabetic foot (DF) patients and the effect of APG on the expression of metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).Methods:A total of 62 patients with DF admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Kangda College of Nanjing Medical University from February 2021 to May 2022 were randomly divided into a control group (30 cases) and an observation group (32 cases) using a random number table method. The control group received ultrasound debridement and dressing change treatment, while the observation group received ultrasound debridement combined with APG treatment. After 6 weeks of treatment, the effective rate, transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure (TcPO 2), and serum tumor necrosis factor- α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia inducible factor α (HIF-1 α)and the level of MALAT1 expression in PBMCs of the two groups of patients were observed. The Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between the expression change of MALAT (△ MALAT1) and the total effective rate of treatment. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group [93.75%(30/32) vs 73.33%(22/30), P<0.05]. After treatment, the systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), fasting blood glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA 1c), urinary microalbumin/creatinine (UACR), uric acid (UA), white blood cells (WBC), TNF- α and IL-6 of both groups had decreased compared to before; HIF-1 α, VEGF and MALAT1 increased compared to before treatment (all P<0.05); After treatment, there was a statistically significant difference in UA, HIF-1α, VEGF, and MALAT1 between the observation group and the control group (all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that Δ MALAT1 in DF patients was negatively correlated with TNF -α ( r=-0.61, P=0.02), IL-6 ( r=-0.52, P=0.04), WBC ( r=-0.53, P=0.03), and positively correlated with VEGF ( r=0.58, P=0.03) and HIF-1α ( r=0.54, P=0.03). The total effective rate of DF treatment was higher in the high change group of△ MALAT [88.37%(38/43) vs 73.68%(14/19), P<0.05]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:APG can significantly upregulate the expression of MALAT, improve wound tissue blood perfusion, wound angiogenesis, and inflammatory response, promote ulcer healing, and changes in MALAT expression can help determine the prognosis of DF.

Objective:To compare the efficacies of 3D printed guide plate assisted positioning and C-arm X-ray machine fluoroscopic positioning for femoral tunnel reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament in treating recurrent patellofemoral dislocation.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on the clinical data of 60 patients with recurrent patellar dislocation admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022. The patients included 29 males and 31 females, with age range of 14-40 years [(28.6±7.6)years]. The 3D printed guide plate was used to locate the femoral tunnel in 30 patients for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (3D guide group), and C-arm X-ray machine was used for another 30 patients (conventional group). (1) CT data of the knee joint were collected before surgery and at 7 days after surgery. Mimics 19.0 software was introduced to measure the distance between the center of femoral tunnel and Sch?ttle point after surgery. (2) Knee Lysholm score and Kujala score were used to evaluate the knee function before and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery. (3) At the same time points, Opti-Knee TM 3D knee kinematics analysis system was used to collect the forward and backward displacement, up and down displacement, internal and external displacement, internal and external flipping angle, internal and external rotation angle, and flexion and extension angle of the affected knee joint. The range of each freedom degree was calculated and 6 freedom degree items of 30 healthy people were subjected to knee kinematics analysis. Results:All patients were followed up for 12-15 months [(12.3±0.7)months]. (1) The distance between the center of femoral tunnel and Sch?ttle point in the 3D guide group was (5.5±2.3)mm, smaller than that in the conventional group [(7.6±2.5)mm] ( P<0.01). (2) The Lysholm score and Kujala score of the 3D guide group and conventional gruop gradually increased after surgery (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the Lysholm score or Kujala score between the 3D guide group and conventional gruop before surgery and at 12 months after surgery (all P>0.05). At 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery, the Lysholm score of the 3D guide group [(70.4±4.5)points, (86.4±3.1)points, (91.2±3.2)points] and Kujala score [(74.2±5.3)points, (80.9±3.5)points, (85.2±3.2)points] were higher than those of the conventional group [Lysholm score: (67.3±5.2)points, (81.8±2.5)points, (86.2±1.9)points; Kujala score: (69.8±5.2)points, (77.6±2.1)points, (82.7±2.6)points] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). (3) Before surgery, the forward and backward displacement in the 3D guide group and conventional group [(0.6±0.1)cm, (0.6±0.2)cm], up and down displacement [(0.5±0.1)cm, (0.6±0.0)cm], internal and external displacement [(0.7±0.1)cm, (0.6±0.2)cm], and flexion and extension angle [(50.6±10.3)°, (51.6±8.5)°] were less than those in the healthy controls [(1.6±0.3)cm, (1.7±0.5)cm, (1.0±0.4)cm, (63.2±5.1)°] (all P<0.05), while the internal and external flipping angle [(17.5±4.0)°, (17.1±3.8)°] and internal and external rotation angle [(17.9±1.9)°, (17.5±1.5)°] were greater than those in the healthy controls [(11.8±3.6)°, (15.8±4.9)°] (all P<0.05). At other time points, the results of front and back displacement, up and down displacement, internal and external displacement, internal and external rotation angle in the 3D guide group and conventional group were not significantly different compared with the healthy controls (all P>0.05). The flexion and extension angle in the 3D guide group and conventional gruop were smaller than those in the healthy controls at 3 months after surgery (all P<0.05). At 6 and 9 months after surgery, the flexion and extension angle in the conventional group [(55.0±3.7)°, (57.7±4.8)°] were smaller than those in the healthy controls [(63.2±5.1)°, (63.2±5.1)°] (all P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between the 3D guide group [(61.0±4.8)°, (61.8±4.9)°] and the healthy controls (all P>0.05). The flexion and extension angle in the 3D guide group and conventional gruop was similar with that in the healthy controls at 12 months after surgery (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the C-arm X-ray machine, the 3D printed guide plate assisted positioning of femoral tunnel is more simple and accurate for the medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in treating recurrent patellofemoral dislocation, together with better early knee function recovery, better satisfaction of the patients, and better and faster restoration of the flexion and extension angle of knee joint kinematic function.
