Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a promising therapy for neurological and inflammatory disorders across multiple organ systems. However, conventional rigid interfaces fail to accommodate dynamic mechanical environments, leading to mechanical mismatches, tissue irritation, and unstable long-term interfaces. Although soft neural interfaces address these limitations, maintaining mechanical durability and stable electrical performance remains challenging.

Department of Plastic and Cosmetic Center, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, 310003 Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China.

The vitamin B complex, a group of water-soluble vitamins, is essential for various metabolic and cellular processes and critical for achieving optimal surgical outcomes in plastic and cosmetic procedures. This review examines the mechanistic contributions of this complex at the cellular level, including any roles in mitochondrial bioenergetics, redox balance, gene regulation, and cellular repair mechanisms. Niacinamide, as a precursor to NAD⁺, enhances mitochondrial efficiency and facilitates energy production, supporting tissue regeneration.

Sciatica, often resulting from lumbar disc herniation or nerve compression, disrupts electrical signal transmission, leading to muscle atrophy, mitochondrial dysfunction, and impaired energy metabolism. This study explored the therapeutic effects of Fu's subcutaneous needling (FSN) in a chronic constriction injury (CCI) rat model, assessing its impact on neuropathic pain, muscle mass, and structural integrity. Histological and ultrastructural analyses demonstrated that FSN alleviated hypersensitivity, reduced muscle atrophy, preserved mitochondrial density, and maintained glycogen storage.

Background: Musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs) are a common group of conditions involving bones, muscles, cartilage, ligaments, and nerves, which significantly impact patients' quality of life and ability to participate in society. Anthocyanins (ACNs), as phytochemicals, possess various pharmacological and biological activities, including anti-apoptotic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunosuppressive properties. In recent years, ACNs have shown remarkable potential in improving MSDs.
