As the third-level diagnosis of migraine, recurrent gastrointestinal disturbance is a group of disorders with recurrent episodic attacks of abdominal pain and/or discomfort and nausea and/or vomiting that may be associated with migraine, and it is a clinical syndrome with the core symptom of abdominal pain, with the presence of clinical and neurobiological associations. This article reviews the similarities of the two diseases from the aspects of epidemiological characteristics, gender distribution tendency, clinical course, auxiliary examination, and treatment response, as well as three potential mechanisms in pathophysiology. This strong association between functional recurrent abdominal pain and migraine suggests that although there is no definitive evidence, adult functional recurrent abdominal pain, or at least its specific subsets, may belong to the spectrum of migraine. In other words, functional recurrent abdominal pain itself without headache may be a “migraine phenomenon”. In the future, it is necessary to conduct more rigorously designed observational studies on the association between the two diseases to clarify such possibility, in order to provide strong supporting evidence for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with functional recurrent abdominal pain and migraine and relieve pain as soon as possible.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the current application and the level of knowledge of intraoperative facial nerve monitoring among medical staff in China.Methods:A comprehensive online questionnaire was conducted among medical professionals across different regions in China from October 2022 to February 2023. The survey exclusively targeted departments specializing in otolaryngology, head and neck surgery, neurosurgery, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. The questionnaire covered various aspects including general information, intraoperative facial nerve monitoring practices, training history, indications for monitoring, parameters used during monitoring procedures, as well as factors influencing its implementation.Results:A total of 417 participants from 31 provincial, municipal, and autonomous regions were included. Intraoperative facial nerve monitoring was found to be implemented in 227 (54.4%,227/417) repondents of 53 institutions (24.9%, 53/213). The top three indications for implementing this technique were acoustic neuroma, parotid gland surgery, and modified middle ear surgery (mastoidectomy). Herein 81.1%(184/227) medical staff involved in intraoperative facial nerve monitoring had received relevant training, 57.3%(130/227)-92.1%(209/227) reported a lack of clear description regarding recording thresholds, stimulation currents/frequencies/wave widths.Conclusion:The majority of the institutions surveyed have not yet adopted intraoperative facial nerve monitoring. Furthermore, significant gaps concerning the procedure exist. It is imperative to establish standards or guidelines to promote its better development and application.

Breast cancer (BC) ranks first in the incidence rate of female malignant tumor, the notable features of which include high invasive behavior, high malignant degree and poor prognosis. Resveratrol, a plant antioxidant, has been identified as a potential therapeutic agent for the occurrence and progress of BC. This article explores the mechanism of resveratrol intervention in BC by evaluating several in vitro and in vivo studies. It was found that resveratrol can weaken the proliferation and survival ability of BC cells, suppress their growth, metastasis, and invasion, and reverse their resistance to adriamycin by promoting cell apoptosis, regulating autophagy, inhibiting glycolysis and regulating the tumor microenvironment, expressions of matrix metalloproteinases, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and drug-resistant proteins, etc. The limited number of clinical trial studies on resveratrol, mainly focusing on prevention effect of it on breast cancer, may be one of the reasons that affect the comprehensive evaluation of the anti-cancer efficacy of resveratrol.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective:To establish the haemodynamic response during the verbal fluency task(VFT)in patients with MCI and to find a screening tool that could be used as a predictor of dementia. Method:Functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS)can detect changes in blood oxygen in the brain,thus revealing the patient's functional brain activity status,and is used to study the level of brain function in MCI.We evaluated the hemodynamic response in the prefrontal and temporal regions of MCI patients and healthy controls in our study. Result:The results found a significantly reduced haemodynamic response in the prefrontal brain regions in the MCI group. Conclusion:The results suggested that a reduced haemodynamic response in the prefrontal brain regions could be used as a diagnostic biomarker for dementia.
