Central nervous system(CNS)degenerative disorders refer to a spectrum of pathological alterations triggered by struc-tural damage to cerebral neural tissues,clinically manifested as diverse neurological dysfunction syndromes,including multiple sclerosis(MS),neurodegenerative diseases(NDs),and ische-mic stroke.The hallmark pathological features of these disorders involve irreversible neuronal damage and decompensation of functional neural networks,ultimately leading to progressive neurological deficits.Notably,with the accelerating global popu-lation aging,the incidence of these diseases has surged signifi-cantly.According to WHO statistics,they now rank among the top three global causes of disability and mortality.Current re-search has confirmed that the pathogenesis of CNS degenerative disorders exhibits high heterogeneity,encompassing multifaceted pathophysiological processes such as genetic predisposition,oxi-dative stress,protein misfolding,and metabolic dysregulation.This intricate pathogenic network not only complicates clinical differential diagnosis but also poses substantial challenges to the development of precision therapeutic strategies.Importantly,re-cent studies have revealed that mitochondrial homeostasis disrup-tion-induced inflammatory cascades(termed mitochondrial in-flammation)play a pivotal regulatory role in neurodegenerative progression.Key molecular mechanisms include impaired mito-phagy,aberrant mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)release and NL-RP3 inflammasome activation.This review systematically deci-phers the molecular regulatory network of mitochondrial inflam-mation,with a focus on its biological effects in critical pathologi-cal events such as blood-brain barrier disruption,microglial hy-peractivation and neuronal apoptosis.The overarching aim is to provide a theoretical foundation for developing innovative thera-peutic strategies targeting mitochondrial homeostasis restoration.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of tibial periosteal distraction combined with antibiotic bone cement in treating diabetic foot ulcer.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From March 2021 to March 2024, 52 patients with diabetic foot ulcers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to Gansu Provincial People's Hospital, including 25 males and 27 females, aged 34-77 years. According to the treatment methods used by the patients, they were divided into control group (22 cases) treated with antibiotic bone cement alone and combined group (30 cases) treated with tibial periosteal distraction combined with antibiotic bone cement. Toe amputation rate, limb amputation rate, length of hospitalization, and ulcer healing time-consuming of patients were recorded. Before the first treatment and 3 weeks after the last treatment, the ankle skin temperature and ankle-brachial index of the affected foot were measured routinely, the pain of the affected foot was evaluated by using visual analog scale (VAS), and the peripheral nerve function of the affected foot was evaluated by 10 g nylon thread examination (denoted as 10 g nylon thread test value). Three weeks after the last treatment, the clinical efficacy of patients was evaluated and the overall rate of clinical efficacy was calculated.Results:There were no statistically significant differences in the comparison of toe amputation rate and limb amputation rate of patients in the 2 groups ( P>0.05). The length of hospitalization and ulcer healing time-consuming of patients in combined group were (23±5) and (41±6) d, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (27±5) and (46±6) d in control group (with t values of 3.08 and 3.18, respectively, both P values <0.05). The ankle skin temperature of the affected foot of patients in combined group was (34.1±1.5) ℃, and the ankle-brachial index was 0.72±0.08 three weeks after the last treatment, which were significantly higher than (32.1±1.6) ℃ and 0.58±0.09 before the first treatment within the group (with t values of 5.10 and 6.37, respectively, P<0.05) and (31.8±1.1) ℃ and 0.59±0.09 three weeks after the last treatment in control group (with t values of 6.88 and 5.49, respectively, P<0.05). The pain VAS score of the affected foot of patients in combined group 3 weeks after the last treatment was significantly lower than that before the first treatment within the group and 3 weeks after the last treatment in control group (with t values of 8.16 and 6.83, respectively, both P values <0.05), and the 10 g nylon thread test value was significantly higher than that before the first treatment within the group and 3 weeks after the last treatment in control group (with t values of 6.15 and 4.23, respectively, both P values <0.05). Three weeks after the last treatment, the overall rate of clinical efficacy of patients in combined group was 96.7% (29/30), which was significantly higher than 63.6% (14/22) in control group, χ2=7.51, P<0.05. Conclusions:Tibial periosteal distraction combined with antibiotic bone cement has good clinical effects in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. It can shorten the length of patients' hospitalization, promote the healing of the ulcers, reduce the pain in the affected foot, and improve the blood supply and peripheral nerve function in the affected foot.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) with peripheral nerve infiltration (PNI) and the effect of PNI on prognosis.Methods:The clinicopathological and survival data of 153 patients with ICC who underwent radical resection at the Department of Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery, the Affiliated Lihuili Hospital of Ningbo University from Jan 2012 to Feb 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There were 144 patients enrolled, including 67 patients in the PNI positive group; 77 patients in the PNI negative group. Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that vascular tumor thrombus and intrahepatic bile duct stones were independent risk factors for ICC with PNI (all P<0.05). The overall recurrence rate of PNI positive patients (71.64 %) was significantly higher than that of PNI negative patients (49.35 %), with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). The median recurrence-free survival time of PNI positive patients was 12 months compared to 32 months in PNI negative patients, with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.05). The median survival time of PNI positive patients was 15 months vs. 42 months in PNI negative patients with statistically significant differences between the two groups ( P<0.001). Conclusion:Vascular tumor thrombus and intrahepatic bile duct stones are independent risk factors for ICC with PNI, and ICC patients with negative PNI have a less gloomy prognosis.

Background: Diabetic macrovascular and microvascular complications often coexist and may share similar risk factors and pathological pathways. We aimed to investigate whether 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk, which is commonly assessed in diabetes management, can predict incident diabetic nephropathy (DN) and retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 2,891 patients with clinically diagnosed T2DM who were free of ASCVD, nephropathy, or retinopathy at baseline in the Guangzhou (2017–2022) and Shaoguan (2019–2021) Diabetic Eye Study in southern China. The 10-year ASCVD risk was calculated by the Prediction for ASCVD Risk in China (China-PAR) equations. Multivariable- adjusted Cox proportional hazard models were developed to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate predictive capability. Results: During follow-up, a total of 171 cases of DN and 532 cases of DR were documented. Each 1% increment in 10-year ASCVD risk was associated with increased risk of DN (pooled HR, 1.122; 95% CI, 1.094 to 1.150) but not DR (pooled HR, 0.996; 95% CI, 0.979 to 1.013). The model demonstrated acceptable performance in predicting new-onset DN (pooled AUC, 0.670; 95% CI, 0.628 to 0.715). These results were consistent across cohorts and subgroups, with the association appearing to be more pronounced in women. Conclusion Ten-year ASCVD risk predicts incident DN but not DR in our study population with T2DM. Regular monitoring of ASCVD risk in routine diabetes practice may add to the ability to enhance population-based prevention for both macrovascular and microvascular diseases, particularly among women.

Objective To analyze the effect of the activation rate of peripheral blood monocytes on the recovery of patients after liver transplantation and to initially explore the possible influencing factors for differences in monocyte activation rates. Methods A total of 139 patients who underwent orthotopic liver transplantation from September 2020 to June 2023 at Department of Liver Surgery and Transplantation of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University were selected. The proportion of CD14^＋HLA-DR^＋ monocytes in peripheral blood was defined as the monocyte activation rate. The difference in monocyte activation rates between postoperative day 7 (POD7) and postoperative day 1 (POD1) was calculated as Δ, and patients were divided into Δ＞0 group (n＝73) and Δ＜0 group (n＝66). The two groups were compared in terms of complete blood count, liver and kidney function, coagulation indicators, infection indicators, ICU length of stay, total length of hospitalization, and 90-day mortality. Changes in the proportions of different monocytes subsets (Mo0, Mo1, Mo2, and Mo3) and HLA-DR expression in peripheral blood on POD1 and POD7 were detected using flow cytometry. Results The ICU length of stay in the Δ＜0 group was significantly longer than that in the Δ＞0 group (18[12, 26] days vs 14[10, 20.5] days, P＝0.018). On POD1, the proportion of Mo0 in the Δ＞0 group was significantly lower than that in the Δ＜0 group (P＜0.05); on POD7, the proportion of Mo0 in the Δ＞0 group was significantly lower than that in the Δ＜0 group (P＜0.001), while the proportions of Mo1, Mo2, and Mo3 were significantly higher than those in the Δ＜0 group (P＜0.001). Compared to POD1, the HLA-DR expression level of Mo0 in peripheral blood of patients with liver transplantation significantly decreased on POD7 (P＜0.01), while there was no significant difference in HLA-DR expression levels of Mo1, Mo2, and Mo3. Conclusions Increased proportion of Mo0 (CD14^lowCD16⁻HLA-DR^low) among peripheral blood monocyte subsets may be one of the influencing factors for the differences in monocyte activation rates in patients with liver transplantation. The difference in monocyte activation rate can serve as a new clinical indicator for assessing changes in the immune status and postoperative recovery of patients with liver transplantation.
