The liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue are central energy-metabolizing organs and insulin-sensitive tissues, playing a crucial role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. As the powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria not only regulate insulin secretion but also oversee the oxidative phosphorylation and β-oxidation of fatty acids, processes vital for the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, as well as the synthesis of ATP. The mitochondrial quality control system is of paramount importance for sustaining mitochondrial homeostasis, achieved through mechanisms such as protein homeostasis, mitochondrial dynamics, mitophagy, and biogenesis. Evidence suggests that dysfunctional mitochondria may significantly contribute to insulin resistance and ectopic fat storage in the liver, offering new insights into the strong correlation between mitochondrial dysfunction and the development of obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM), and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This manuscript aims to delve into the precise mechanisms by which imbalances in mitochondrial quality control lead to metabolic disorders in the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue, the 3 major insulin-sensitive organs. In the liver, mitochondrial dysfunction can lead to disturbances in glucose and lipid metabolism, resulting in insulin resistance and fat accumulation—a key factor in the development of NAFLD. In skeletal muscle, reduced mitochondrial function can decrease ATP production, weakening the muscle’s ability to uptake glucose, thereby exacerbating insulin resistance. In adipose tissue, mitochondrial dysfunction can impair adipocyte function, leading to lipotoxicity and inflammatory responses,which further contribute to insulin resistance and the onset of metabolic syndrome. Moreover, the interorgan crosstalk among these 3 tissues is essential for overall metabolic homeostasis. For instance, hepatic gluconeogenesis and glucose utilization in skeletal muscle are both influenced by the health status of their respective mitochondrial populations. The conversion between different types of adipose tissue and the ability to store lipids depend on normal mitochondrial function to avert ectopic fat accumulation in other organs. In summary, this manuscript emphasizes the critical role of mitochondrial quality control in maintaining the metabolic stability of the liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. It elucidates the specific mechanisms by which mitochondrial dysfunction in these organs contributes to the development of metabolic diseases, providing a foundation for future research and the development of therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction.

Most chemical medicines have polymorphs. The difference of medicine polymorphs in physicochemical properties directly affects the stability, efficacy, and safety of solid medicine products. Polymorphs is incomparably important to pharmaceutical chemistry, manufacturing, and control. Meantime polymorphs is a key factor for the quality of high-end drug and formulations. Polymorph prediction technology can effectively guide screening of trial experiments, and reduce the risk of missing stable crystal form in the traditional experiment. Polymorph prediction technology was firstly based on theoretical calculations such as quantum mechanics and computational chemistry, and then was developed by the key technology of machine learning using the artificial intelligence. Nowadays, the popular trend is to combine the advantages of theoretical calculation and machine learning to jointly predict crystal structure. Recently, predicting medicine polymorphs has still been a challenging problem. It is expected to learn from and integrate existing technologies to predict medicine polymorphs more accurately and efficiently.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of bevacizumab injection combined with raltitrexed injection and irinotecan injection(TOMIRI)in the treatment of patients with advanced colorectal cancer.Methods Patients with advanced colorectal cancer were divided into control group and treatment group according to the cohort method.The control group received 180 mg·m-2 irinotecan with intravenous infusion for 30 to 90 min on the first day+3 mg·m-2 raltitrexed with intravenous infusion for 15 min,once every three weeks.On the basis of control group,the treatment group was given 5 mg·kg-1 bevacizumab with intravenous infusion,once every three weeks.Two groups were treated for 4 cycles with 3 weeks per cycle.The clinical efficacy,lesion diameter,Karnofsky performance status(KPS),and adverse drug reactions were compared between two groups.Additionally,based on follow-up results,the progression-free survival(PFS)within 12 months was compared between the two groups.Results The treatment and control groups enrolled 53 patients.After treatment,the total effective rates of treatment and control groups were 83.02％(44 cases/53 cases)and 54.72％(29 cases/53 cases)with statistically significant difference(P＜0.05).After treatment,the tumor diameters of treatment and control groups were(2.44±0.30)and(3.35±0.38)cm;the KPS scores were(78.01±0.79)and(70.69±0.72)points;the PFS was(11.26±1.43)and(8.01±0.97)months,there were statistically significant differences of above indexes between two groups(all P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions in the treatment group were anemia,abnormal liver and renal function,nausea and vomiting,and leukopenia,which in the control group were gastrointestinal reaction,nausea and vomiting,abnormal liver and kidney function,blood toxicity,anemia and skin rash.The total incidence of adverse drug reactions in treatment and control groups were 11.32％and 28.30％(P＞0.05).Conclusion Bevacizumab injection combined with TOMIRI can helps to enhance the clinical efficacy of advanced colorectal cancer and improve patients'quality of life,improve patient quality of life,prolong PFS,and without increasing the incidence of adverse drug reactions.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) combined with lower cervical fracture is often categorized into unstable fracture, with a high incidence of neurological injury and a high rate of disability and morbidity. As factors such as shoulder occlusion may affect the accuracy of X-ray imaging diagnosis, it is often easily misdiagnosed at the primary diagnosis. Non-operative treatment has complications such as bone nonunion and the possibility of secondary neurological damage, while the timing, access and choice of surgical treatment are still controversial. Currently, there are no clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture with or without dislocation. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedics Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts to formulate Clinical guidelines for the treatment of ankylosing spondylitis combined with lower cervical fracture in adults ( version 2024) in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine, scientificity and practicality, in which 11 recommendations were put forward in terms of the diagnosis, imaging evaluation, typing and treatment, etc, to provide guidance for the diagnosis and treatment of AS combined with lower cervical fracture.

Objective To explore the effect of CircCSNK1G1 on the proliferation,apoptosis and migration of gastric cancer(GC)cells by regulating the miR-381-3p/S kinase-related protein 2(Skp2)axis.Methods HGC-27 cells were divided into non transfected group,si-NC group,si-CircCSNK1G1 group,si-CircCSNK1 G1+anti-miR-NC group,and si-CircCSNK1G1+anti-miR-381-3p group.The expressions of CircCSNK1G1,miR-381-3p and Skp2 mRNA in GC tumor tissues and GC cell lines were detected by qRT-PCR respectively;cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay;the number of cell clones was detected by clonogenic assay;apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry;cell migration and invasion ability were determined by transwell;the expression of E-cadherin and Vimentin was detected by Western Blot;and the targeting relationship among CircCSNK1G1,miR-381-3p and Skp2 was verified by double luciferase experiment.Results Compared with GES-1 in normal tissues adjacent to cancer and normal human gastric mucosal epithelial cells,the expression of CircCSNK1 G1 and Skp2 mRNA in GC tumor tissues and GC cell lines is high,and the expression of miR-381-3p is low(P＜0.05),and the expression level of miR-381-3p in HGC-27 cells is the lowest,and the expression level of CircCSNK1G1 and Skp2 mRNA is the highest,therefore,HGC-27 cells were selected and CircCSNK1G1 was knocked down for the experiment.Compared with untransfected group and si-CircCSNK1G1-NC group,transfection of si-CircCSNK1G1 could reduce the expression of CircCSNK1G1,Skp2 mRNA,cell proliferation activity,cell migration number,and the expression of Vimentin protein in HGC-27 cells(P＜0.05),the expression of miR-381-3p,apoptosis rate,and the expression of E-cadherin protein were increased(P＜0.05).The double luciferase experiment verified that CircCSNK1G1 and Skp2 had a targeting relationship with miR-381-3p,moreover,CircCSNK1G1 could be used as sponge RNA of miR-381-3p to further regulate the expression and activity of Skp2.Conclusion Knockdown of CircCSNK1G1 can target up-regulate the expression of miR-381-3p,and inhibit the expression of Skp2,thus promoting the apoptosis of GC cells,and inhibiting their proliferation and migration.
