The widespread application of implantable materials has brought about a corresponding increase in implant-related complications, with implant-associated infections being the most critical. Biofilms, which often form on these implants, can significantly impede the effectiveness of traditional antibiotic therapies. Therefore, strategies such as surgical removal of infected implants and prolonged antibiotic treatment have been acknowledged as effective measures to eradicate these infections. However,the challenges of antibiotic resistance and biofilm persistence often result in recurrent or hard-to-control infections, posing severe health threats to patients. Recent studies suggest that phages, a type of virus, can directly eliminate pathogenic bacteria and degrade biofilms. Furthermore, clinical trials have demonstrated promising therapeutic results with the combined use of phages and antibiotics. Consequently, this innovative therapy holds significant potential as an effective solution for managing implant-associated infections. This paper rigorously investigates and evaluates the potential value of phage therapy in addressing orthopedic implant-associated infections, based on a comprehensive review of relevant scientific literature.

The treatment of migraine is categorized into acute treatment and preventive treatment,and existing guidelines for the treatment of migraine usually describe the regimens for the two treatment methods separately,while some studies in recent years have found a close relationship between the two treatment methods.With the introduction of calcito-nin gene-related peptide-antagonizing drugs,such treatment methods may transcend the traditional dividing line between the acute and preventive treatment drugs,offering the possibility of an entirely new approach for the treatment of migraine,whereby acute treatment may have prophylactic benefits and prophylactic treatment may have the effect of acute treatment.At the same time,clinicians should understand that acute and preventive treatment methods are not absolutely indepen-dent treatment modes,and they are closely associated with each other,both with the ultimate goal of better migraine man-agement.Clinicians should develop individualized treatment regimens based on the specific condition of the patient,in or-der to improve the efficacy of acute and preventive treatment methods and reduce disease burden.

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) involves complex immunomodulatory interactions between pathogens,biomaterials,and hosts,and correlates with alterations in the ratio of immune cells as well as in the concentration of immune checkpoint molecules.Prosthesis,biofilm,microorganisms,and host constitute a special and complex immune microenvironment.Fully studying the characteristics of immune microenvironment and potential targets of immunotherapy in orthopedic implant-associated infections are expected to provide a new direction for clinical treatment of PJI. An overview of the literature related to PJI and immune regulation at domestic and international sites was conducted to summarize and analyze the characteristics of the immune microenvironment and the potential value of related immunotherapy, aiming to provide new insights for the targeted treatment of PJI.
