Article Abstract

Since the early 2000s, minimally invasive forefoot surgery (MIS), particularly hallux valgus correction, has significantly advanced with the introduction of the Shannon burr. However, despite numerous relevant studies being published, no comprehensive review articles have summarized MIS for various forefoot conditions. Therefore, in this comprehensive review, we examined the relevant studies about the application of MIS (excluding arthroscopy and endoscopy) for various forefoot conditions. Additionally, we discuss the essential considerations for achieving favorable surgical outcomes and preventing complications associated with each technique. We analyzed the characteristics of each surgical procedure and identified areas for future focus. Effective surgical treatment not only requires MIS, but also the appropriate selection of patients based on suitable indications and executing procedures within the surgeon's capabilities. We hope that this review will help readers to enhance their expertise in this field.

Central nervous system tumors with BCL6 corepressor (BCOR) internal tandem duplications (ITDs) constitute a rare, recently characterized pediatric neoplasm with distinct molecular and histopathological features. To date, 69 cases have been documented in the literature, including our institutional case. These neoplasms predominantly occur in young children, with the cerebellum representing the most frequent anatomical location.

Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that acts as a central regulator of inflammation and immune responses across diverse organ systems. Functioning upstream in immune activation cascades, MIF influences macrophage polarization, T and B cell differentiation, and cytokine expression through CD74, CXCR2/4/7, and downstream signaling via NF-κB, ERK1/2, and PI3K/AKT pathways. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of MIF's mechanistic functions under both physiological and pathological conditions, highlighting its dual role as a protective mediator during acute stress and as a pro-inflammatory amplifier in chronic disease.

Wings apart-like protein (WAPL) has emerged as a key player in maintaining genome integrity through its regulation of cohesin dynamics, which govern chromatin architecture and gene expression. WAPL mainly acts as a cohesin release factor and ensures proper chromosomal segregation during mitosis by promoting sister chromatid resolution. Owing to its prominent role in cell biology, WAPL dysregulation can cause genomic instability and disrupt chromosomal cohesion, leading to diseases such as cancer.

DNA, a large molecule located in the nucleus, carries essential genetic information, including gene loci and cis-regulatory elements. Despite its extensive length, DNA is compactly stored within the limited space of the nucleus due to its hierarchical three-dimensional (3D) organization. In this structure, DNA is organized into territories known as topologically associated domains (TADs).
