Vitamin D is an indispensable fat-soluble vitamin in the human body, mainly in the form of vitamin D2 and vitamin D3,which can be synthesized by the skin and ingested in the diet. Vitamin D deficiency is currently a global public health problem, with approximately one billion people worldwide suffering from vitamin D deficiency, and pregnant women are at high risk. Gestational diabetes mellitus（GDM） refers to normal glucose metabolism before pregnancy, and abnormal glucose tolerance of different degrees occurs for the first time during pregnancy, which is one of the complications of pregnancy. Continuous studies have proved that vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy is closely related to GDM,which can affect glucose balance through various mechanisms, leading to an increased risk of GDM. In addition, GDM increases the incidence of maternal and infant complications such as hyperamniotic fluid, pregnancy-induced hypertension, premature rupture of membranes, premature delivery, macrosomia, low body weight, and teratoma, which threatens maternal and infant health. In recent years, the research on the correlation between vitamin D and GDM has been increasing, and its correlation has been paid more and more attention by more and more scholars.

A patent foramen ovale(PFO) is a cardiac anatomical abnormality that usually fails to close normally at birth, resulting in the blood flow channel between the left ventricle and the right ventricle still existing. In recent years, a growing number of studies have shown that there is a correlation between PFO and migraine, especially in migraine patients with aura. With the continuous development of interventional techniques in cardiology, interventional closure has become an effective method for the treatment of PFO. Studies have shown that the closure of PFO by using a closure device can reduce the risks associated with patent foramen ovale, such as stroke. More encouragingly, some studies have found that PFO closure may help reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. Anxiety and depression are common mental complications in migraine patients. Percutaneous PFO closure has shown favorable results in alleviating migraine symptoms and improving psychological status and quality of life. This review will also discuss the safety and efficacy of PFO closure, as well as the mechanisms associated with migraine, in order to further explore the clinical advances in this field. Finally, this paper emphasize the necessity of screening and managing the mental health status of patients, and expects that future research can provide more clear guidance for PFO closure in the treatment of migraine.
