Liposome is an ideal drug carrier with many advantages such as excellent biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity, and easy functionalization, and has been used for the clinical treatment of many diseases including tumors. For the treatment of tumors, liposome has some passive targeting capability, but the passive targeting effect alone is very limited in improving the drug enrichment in tumor tissues, and active targeting is an effective strategy to improve the drug enrichment. Therefore, active targeting liposome drug-carriers have been extensively studied for decades. In this paper, we review the research progresses on active targeting liposome drug-carriers based on the specific binding of the carriers to the surface of tumor cells, and summarize the opportunities, challenges and future prospects in this field.

Objective To analyze the clinical efficacy of Yunnan Baiyao in middle aged and elderly lung cancer patients undergoing the uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic.Methods A total of 90 patients with non-small cell lung cancer meeting the criterias were screened and divided into two groups according to random number table method,which respectively received conventional treatment(control group)and Yunnan Baiyao treatment(experimental group).The perioperative period related indexes,coagulation function related indexes,and the occurrence rate of complications were observed and compared between the two groups.Results The intraoperative bleeding volume and thoracic drainage volume for the first day of experimental group were significantly lower than control group(P＜0.05).However,there were no significant difference in the coagulation function related indexes between two groups before and after surgery(P＞0.05).Additionally,there were also no significant difference in the occurrence rate of complication between two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Yunnan Baiyao can reduce intraoperative bleeding volume and chest tube drainage volume for the first day,promots the recovery of patients,and has a good clinical application value.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing intestinal disorder driven by multiple factors including genetics, immunity, and environment, and is clinically classified into ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Currently, mice and zebrafish are the primary experimental animals used in IBD research, among which zebrafish have emerged as an ideal model due to their unique advantages. Compared with rodent models, zebrafish serve as an effective and convenient model, offering advantages such as a short life cycle, robust reproductive capacity, small size, and transparent embryos. These characteristics make zebrafish highly suitable for dynamic tracking of continuous pathological progression and high-throughput drug screening. Zebrafish share over 70% genetic homology with humans, and their intestinal cellular composition and ontogeny closely resemble those of humans. Moreover, the structure and characteristics of their gut microbiota are similar to the human intestinal microbiome, providing a solid foundation for studying the relationship between gut microbiota and IBD. With advances in biotechnology, zebrafish IBD models generated by chemical induction or genetic engineering can accurately simulate the core pathological features of human IBD, such as intestinal wall thickening, inflammatory cell infiltration, and elevated expression of pro-inflammatory factors. These models have played a significant role in revealing the pathogenesis of IBD as well as the development of targeted therapeutic drugs. This article first outlines the intestinal characteristics of zebrafish and features of zebrafish IBD models, then provides an in-depth analysis of their application in IBD pathogenesis research from multiple aspects, including genetics, immunity, environment and diet, and infection. It also reviews research progress on the application of zebrafish in the development of anti-inflammatory drugs, probiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine therapies, aiming to provide researchers with references for the rational use of zebrafish models at all stages of preclinical research, to advance fundamental IBD research and accelerate breakthroughs in this field.
