Objective To describe the status of anxiety and depression in patients with uveitis, and to explore the related factors of quality of life. Methods A total of 126 uveitis patients from September 2015 to March 2016 were investigated with the General Social Population Questionnaire, Life Quality for Diseases with Visual Impairment Scale, Self-rating Anxiety Scale and Beck Depression Inventory. Results There were 126 valid questionnaires, and the effective recovery rate was 96.9%(126/130). The score of Self-rating Anxiety Scale in uveitis patients was (43.49±7.20) points which lower than the standard mark standardized score, and 14.3% (18/126)of patients were diagnosed with anxiety. The score of Beck Depression Inventory in uveitis patients was (7.50 ± 6.60) points which lower than the standard mark standardized score, 28.6% (36/126)of patients were diagnosed with depression. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale scores and psychological dimensions of quality of life was negatively correlated (r=-0.310, P<0.01), and the Beck Depression Inventory scores and the average score of the quality of life, the 4 dimensions and total score of quality of life was negatively correlated(r=-0.534--0.240, all P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that the related factors of quality of life were score of depression, vision loss, education and gender(P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of depression and anxiety are both lower in patients with uveitis than general population. The status of quality of life is related to the score of depression, vision loss, education and gender.

Peptides that are composed of dextrorotary (d)-amino acids have gained increasing attention as a potential therapeutic class. However, our understanding of the in vivo fate of d-peptides is limited. This highlights the need for whole-body, quantitative tracking of d-peptides to better understand how they interact with the living body. Here, we used mouse models to track the movement of a programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1)-targeting d-dodecapeptide antagonist (DPA) using positron emission tomography (PET). More specifically, we profiled the metabolic routes of [64Cu]DPA and investigated the tumor engagement of [64Cu/68Ga]DPA in mouse models. Our results revealed that intact [64Cu/68Ga]DPA was primarily eliminated by the kidneys and had a notable accumulation in tumors. Moreover, a single dose of [64Cu]DPA effectively delayed tumor growth and improved the survival of mice. Collectively, these results not only deepen our knowledge of the in vivo fate of d-peptides, but also underscore the utility of d-peptides as radiopharmaceuticals.
