The complex anatomical structure and physiological barriers of the eye present substantial challenges for local drug delivery, leading to suboptimal ocular drug bioavailability, which typically remains below 5% in conventional ophthalmic formulations. Frequent or high-dose administration not only increases the treatment burden but also heightens the risk of both local and systemic adverse effects. Liposomes, as an advanced drug delivery system, enhance ocular bioavailability through their biocompatibility and targeted delivery properties. Recent innovations in surface modification and functionalization have further enhanced their ability to overcome ocular barriers and facilitate controlled drug release. Liposome-based formulations have demonstrated significant therapeutic potential for diseases such as glaucoma and dry eye syndrome. Drawing on the research advancements over the past 5 a, this article systematically reviews the innovative design strategies and applications of liposomes in ocular drug delivery, with the aim of providing theoretical basis and technical reference for the development of new ophthalmic drugs.

Venous system diseases mainly include varicose veins and venous malformations of lower limbs and the genital system. Most of them are chronic diseases that cause serious clinical symptoms to patients and affect their health and quality of life. Sclerotherapy has become the first-line therapy for venous system diseases. However, there are problems such as incomplete fibrosis and vascular recanalization after sclerotherapy, and improper operation will cause serious adverse consequences. Therefore, exploring a safe and effective sclerotherapy strategy is essential for developing clinically successful sclerotherapy. To solve the above problems, we proposed a new sclerotherapy strategy with a dual mechanism of "vascular damage and plasmin (PLA) system inhibition." We intended to construct a novel cationic surfactant (AEO_x-TA) by reacting tranexamic acid (TA), a parent structure, with fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO_x) by ester bonds. AEO_x-TA could damage vascular endothelium and initiate a coagulation cascade effect to induce thrombus. Furthermore, AEO_x-TA could be degraded by esterase and release the parent drug, TA, which could inhibit the PLA system to inhibit the degradation of thrombus and extracellular matrix and promote the process of vascular fibrosis. In addition, such surfactant-based sclerosants have foam-forming properties, and they can be blended with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to prepare a highly stable foam formulation (AEO_x-TA/P), which can achieve a precise drug delivery and prolonged drug retention time, thereby improving drug efficacy and reducing the risk of ectopic embolism. Overall, the novel cationic surfactant AEO_x-TA provides a new avenue to resolve the bottleneck: surfactant sclerosants' efficiency is relatively low in the current sclerotherapy.

BACKGROUND:Apoptosis and autophagy imbalance in the hippocampal region of perimenopausal depressed rats are closely related to cognitive decline.Whether aerobic exercise can reduce apoptosis by promoting hippocampal autophagy and thus improve the learning and memory abilities of perimenopausal depressed rats is not clear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the possible mechanism by which 4-week moderate-intensity treadmill exercise improves learning memory ability in ovariectomized stressed rats.METHODS:Forty Sprague-Dawely rats were randomly divided into four groups,namely,sham operation group(n=10),ovariectomized group(n=10),ovariectomized stress group(n=10)and ovariectomized stress exercise group(n=10).Except for the sham operation group,the ovaries were removed in the other three groups to establish a perimenopausal rat model,and then a depressed rat model was established by chronic unpredictable stress in the latter two groups.The rats in the ovariectomized stress exercise group underwent a 4-week moderate-intensity treadmill exercise.Tail suspension test and sucrose preference test were performed to text depression-like behaviors in rats after exercise and stress.The eight-arm maze experiment was used to test the learning and memory behaviors of rats after exercise and stress.Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of AMP-activated protein kinase/UNC-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1/mammalian target of rapamycin(AMPK/mTOR/ULK1),hippocampus apoptotic factor Caspase-3 and the protein expression of autophagy markers LC-3II/Beclin-1 in the hippocampus.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the sham operation group,rats in the ovariectomized and ovariectomized stress groups had prolonged resting time in the tail suspension test and decreased sugar-water intake and sugar-water preference in the sucrose preference test.(2)Ovary removal reduced the learning memory capacity of rats,as evidenced behaviorally by a significant increase in the number of working memory errors,the number of reference memory errors,and the completion time,and an even more pronounced increase in the above measures in the ovariectomized stress group.(3)Compared with the ovariectomized group,there was a significant reduction in the number of working memory errors,the number of reference memory errors,and the completion time in the ovariectomized stress group.(4)Compared with the sham operation group,in the ovariectomized and ovariectomized stress groups,the expression of hippocampal apoptotic factor Caspase 3 protein was significantly elevated,the expression of autophagy-related factors proteins Beclin-1 and LC3II,as well as the protein expression of AMPK and ULK1,was decreased,whereas the expression of mTOR protein was elevated.Changes in the above indicators were more significant in the ovariectomized stress group.(5)Compared with the ovariectomized stress group,in the ovariectomized stress exercise group,the protein expression of Caspase 3 was significantly decreased,the protein expression of Beclin-1 and LC3II was significantly increased,the protein expression of AMPK and ULK1 was significantly increased,and the protein expression of mTOR was significantly reduced.To conclude,4-week moderate-intensity treadmill exercise may promote cellular autophagy and reduce apoptosis through the AMPK/mTOR/ULK1 autophagy signaling pathway,thereby enhancing the learning and memory capacity of rats with ovariectomized depression

Objective To explore the risk factors for ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrilla-tion(AF)and construct a prediction model.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 253 AF patients treated at our hospital from January 2021 to December 2024.They were randomly divided into a modeling group(n=177)and a validation group(n=76)in a 7∶3 ratio.The model-ing group was further divided into a simple AF subgroup(96 cases)and a stroke subgroup(81 cases)based on the occurrence of ischemic stroke.Clinical data were collected,including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol,red cell distribution width(RDW),D-dimer,fibrinogen,N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I(hs-cTnI),etc.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for ischemic stroke,and a nomogram model was constructed.The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using ROC curve analysis,calibration curve analysis,and decision curve analysis(DCA).Results Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that left atrial diameter(OR=1.205,95％CI:1.046-1.388,P=0.010),RDW(OR=1.605,95％CI:1.138-2.263,P=0.007),D-dimer(OR=2.633,95％CI:1.229-5.640,P=0.013),fibrinogen(OR=3.053,95％CI:1.312-7.108,P=0.010),NT-proBNP(OR=1.005,95％CI:1.003-1.007,P=0.001),and hs-cTnI(OR=1.129,95％CI:1.046-1.218,P=0.002)were independent risk factors for ischemic stroke in AF patients.ROC curve analysis showed an AUC value of 0.926(95％CI:0.885-0.967)for the modeling group and 0.912(95％CI:0.847-0.978)for the validation group.H-L test showed Chi-square=8.005,P=0.433 for the modeling group and Chi-square=2.590,P=0.957 for the validation group.DC A demonstrated high practical value for the model.Conclusion The nomo-gram model constructed in the study has good predictive performance and clinical utility.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.
