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 effects of moxibustion,filiform needle acupuncture,and electroacupuncture on synovial hypoxia and expression of synovial fibrosis markers[transforming growth factor(TGF)-β and collagen alpha-1(Ⅰ)chain(COL1A1)]in knee osteoarthritis(KOA)rats.Methods:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group,a model group,a moxibustion group,an acupuncture group,and an electroacupuncture group,with 10 rats in each group.Except for the normal group,rats in the other four groups were injected with sodium iodoacetate into the right knee joint cavity to establish KOA models.The right Futu(ST32)and Zusanli(ST36)were selected in the moxibustion,acupuncture,and electroacupuncture groups to perform the mild moxibustion with moxa sticks,filiform needle acupuncture,or electroacupuncture,respectively.Each intervention lasted 15 min,once every other day,and continued for 4 weeks,with a total of 14 interventions.The Lequesne score was used to evaluate the degree of knee dysfunction before and after intervention,and the rat's right knee joint diameter was measured to evaluate the degree of knee swelling.Morphological changes of the right knee joint synovial tissue were observed using hematoxylin-eosin staining.Hypoxia probe immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the degree of synovial hypoxia in rats.Western blotting was used to detect the protein expression levels of hypoxia-inducible factor(HIF)-1α,TGF-β,and COL1A1 in the synovial tissue of the right knee joints.Results:Before intervention,the Lequesne score and the right knee joint diameter in the other four groups increased significantly compared to the normal group(P<0.01).After intervention,the Lequesne score and the right knee joint diameter increased significantly in the model group compared to the normal group(P<0.01)together with worsened cartilage deformation and osteophytes,inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis in synovial tissue,and hypoxia degree,and the expression levels of HIF-1α,TGF-β,and COL1A1 proteins in the knee joint synovial tissue of rats increased(P<0.01).The Lequesne score and the right knee joint diameter decreased significantly(P<0.01 or P<0.05),the cartilage morphology was normal without obvious osteophytes,and the hypoxia degree reduced in the three intervention groups compared to the model group.Among them,the moxibustion group had the most notable improvement in hypoxia,synovial tissue fibrosis,angiogenesis,and inflammatory cell infiltration.The expression levels of HIF-1α,TGF-β,and COL1A1 proteins decreased in the moxibustion and electroacupuncture groups(P<0.01),and the expression levels of HIF-1α and TGF-β proteins were decreased in the acupuncture group(P<0.01).Conclusion:Moxibustion,filiform needle acupuncture,and electroacupuncture improve knee joint function and reduce knee joint swelling in KOA rats.The mechanism may be to improve synovial fibrosis of the knee joint by regulating HIF-1α;moxibustion has the best effect on improving hypoxia among the three interventions,but the effect of filiform needle acupuncture on COL1A1 is not significant.
