Cilia,as cellular sensory organelles,actively partici-pate in and regulate cellular processes such as autophagy and metabolic breakdown during their generation and transportation.Autophagy,on the other hand,is a cell self-protection mecha-nism that maintains cellular homeostasis by clearing aggregates and damaged organelles.Combining recent research findings,this review comprehensively elucidates the bidirectional crosstalk between primary cilia and autophagy.Specifically,it highlights the crucial role of cilia-dependent signaling pathways in activa-ting cellular autophagy and how autophagy regulates cilia genera-tion and length by degrading specific ciliary proteins.Moreover,the dysregulation of primary cilia and autophagy is closely asso-ciated with the clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of vari-ous ciliopathy-related diseases such as polycystic kidney disease and tuberous sclerosis.In terms of pharmacotherapy,this review provides a comprehensive and in-depth overview of small mole-cule inhibitors targeting ciliogenesis,including cytoskeletal drugs and Hedgehog signaling pathway inhibitors.Despite the current limitations in clinical use,these drugs lay the groundw-ork for developing highly specific targeted small molecule inhibi-tors of ciliogenesis and for the treatment of ciliopathies and canc-ers.By systematically discussing ciliogenesis,autophagy,disea-ses and drugs,this review offers new insights for further elucida-ting the crosstalk between ciliogenesis and autophagy,exploring their pathological mechanisms in disease development,and de-veloping therapeutic strategies in the future.

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 investigate the differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis between early- and late-onset rectal cancer (EORC and LORC, respectively), and to analyze the adverse factors affecting outcomes in EORC patients.Methods:This retrospective cohort and propensity score matching (PSM) study examined 904 rectal cancer patients who underwent radical resection at Peking University Shougang Hospital between 2017 and 2022. Prior to comparison, patients in the EORC group (<50 years old) and LORC group (≥50 years old) were matched at a 1:2 ratio to control for the following confounders: sex; neoadjuvant therapy; T, N, and M stage; and adjuvant treatment. Cox regression was used to identify independent risk factors for poor overall and progression-free survival (OS and PFS, respectively). Restricted cubic splines were used to analyze the association between age and clinical outcome.Results:A total of 199 EORC and 705 LORC patients were included for analysis. Prior to PSM, the proportions of patients with stage T4 [27.6%(55/199) vs.12.9%(91/705),χ 2=30.12, P<0.001] and M1 disease [24.6%(49/199) vs. 15.7% (111/705),χ 2=8.40, P=0.004], and the proportions of patients who received neoadjuvant [79.9% (159/199) vs. 62.3%(439/705), χ 2=21.54, P<0.001] and adjuvant therapy [62.8%(125/199) vs. 50.8% (358/705), χ 2=9.03, P=0.003] were significantly higher in the EORC group. Mean OS (57.8 vs. 51.9 months; P=0.011) and PFS (53.6 vs. 44.5 months; P=0.001) were also significantly longer in the LORC group. However, after PSM, the intergroup differences in OS and PFS were not significant ( P=0.450 and 0.180, respectively). Multivariate Cox regression in the EORC cohort identified carcinoembryonic antigen concentration ≥5 μg/L [hazard ratio (HR), 3.79; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.34-10.69; P=0.012] and presence of perineural invasion (HR, 7.27; 95%CI, 1.77-29.88; P=0.006) as independent risk factors for overall mortality; the only independent risk factor for cancer progression was carcinoembryonic antigen concentration ≥5 μg/L (HR, 2.56; 95%CI, 1.06-6.17; P=0.037). Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a U-shaped relationship between age and clinical outcome. After PSM, OS and PFS did not show a significant association with age in the < 60 years old group. Conclusion:Compared with LORC, EORC is more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage and has a worse outcome. Early diagnosis and timely treatment improve outcome in EORC patients.

The prevalence of Class III malocclusion varies among different countries and regions. The populations from Southeast Asian countries (Chinese and Malaysian) showed the highest prevalence rate of 15.8%, which can seriously affect oral function, facial appearance, and mental health. As anterior crossbite tends to worsen with growth, early orthodontic treatment can harness growth potential to normalize maxillofacial development or reduce skeletal malformation severity, thereby reducing the difficulty and shortening the treatment cycle of later-stage treatment. This is beneficial for the physical and mental growth of children. Therefore, early orthodontic treatment for Class III malocclusion is particularly important. Determining the optimal timing for early orthodontic treatment requires a comprehensive assessment of clinical manifestations, dental age, and skeletal age, and can lead to better results with less effort. Currently, standardized treatment guidelines for early orthodontic treatment of Class III malocclusion are lacking. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the etiology, clinical manifestations, classification, and early orthodontic techniques for Class III malocclusion, along with systematic discussions on selecting early treatment plans. The purpose of this expert consensus is to standardize clinical practices and improve the treatment outcomes of Class III malocclusion through early orthodontic treatment.

Objective:To develop a scale to measure the sense of gain of the elderly, and to evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the content of the sense of gain, combined with the literature research method and interview method, the scale entry pool was established.After the expert consistency evaluation and the optimal test assembly method (OTA) analysis, the formal version of the scale was formed.The stratified sampling method was used to select 1 043 community-dwelling elders for the survey, and the reliability and validity of the scale were evaluated by methods based on classical test theory.Results:The scale of elderly sense of gain, which was screened by OTA method, included four dimensions: health status, relationship and communication, social security, and ideal expectation, with a total of 17 items. The Cronbach's α value of the formal version of the scale was 0. 850, and the Cronbach's α coefficients of the four dimensions were 0.721, 0.772, 0.779, and 0.930, respectively. The CR values of the combined reliabilities of each dimension were all above 0.7. In terms of AVE values, except for the health status dimension was acceptable, the other three dimensions were all above 0.36. The correlation coefficient between the sense of health acquisition and life satisfaction of the elderly was 0.531 ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The developed scale for measuring the sense of gain of the elderly has good reliability and validity, which can be used as an effective tool for measuring the sense of gain of the elderly.
