Objective To explore the differences in therapeutic efficacy and possible mechanism of different routes of administration of fullerene nanoparticles in the treatment of radiation retinopathy.Methods Eight-week-old adult male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group(Control),irradiation group(X-Ray),irradiation+vitreous cavity administration group[X+F(IVT)],irradiation+ocular surface administration group[X+F(OS)],and irradiation+intravenous administration group[X+F(IV)],with 5 rats in each group.The blank group was not treated,the irradiation groups exposed to X-ray irradiation to establish the model,and fullerenol nanoparticles were given to the treatment groups through different routes after irradiation.At 7,14,and 28 d after modeling,body weight and fundus changes were measured to evaluate drug safety,retinal optical coherence tomography(OCT)was used to observe the change in retinal tissue structure,and electroretinography(ERG)was applied for oscillatory potentials(OPs)to evaluate visual function.CD31 immunofluorescence staining was carried out to evaluate retinal endothelial vascular status,and in vivo imaging was utilized to evaluate the accumulation of fullerenol nanoparticles in the eyes.Results The growth curves of body weight demonstrated that fullerenol nanoparticles did not affect the growth and development of rats,with no statistical difference between the treatment groups and the control group.Irradiation resulted in a significant reduction in visual function,decreased amplitudes of a-wave and b-wave,and declined OPs(P<0.01),and significantly increased thicknesses of the ganglion cell layer(GCL)and the inner nuclear layer(INL)in the retinas,as evidenced by OCT(P<0.01),along with a notably absent presence of CD31-positive cells(P<0.01).Notably,the X+F(IVT)group obtained significantly improved visual function after intravitreal administration,effectively maintained thickness of the GCL and INL,and prevention against the loss of CD31-positive cells(P<0.01).However,no such effective results were observed in the irradiated groups receiving intravenous either ocular surface administration.In vivo imaging revealed that intravitreal administration maintained high ocular accumulation of fullerene for 96 h,while ocular surface administration sustained these concentrations for only 12 h.Intravenous administration,in contrast,only led to a predominant drug distribution in vascular-rich areas,but reduced ocular accumulation.Conclusion Fullerene nanoparticles possess a therapeutic effect on radiation retinopathy,and the intravitreal administration route demonstrates better efficacy than ocular surface and intravenous administration.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of fluconazole on proteomics of Trichosporon asahii so as to reveal the responding process of T.asahii to fluconazole stress and the resistance mechanisms to azoles on the protein level.METHODS T.asahii AS 2.2174 was chosen as the research subject,the minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC)of fluconazole was determined by broth microdilution assay.The protein abundance of T.asahii was detec-ted by means of tandem mass tag(TMT)technique combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrom-etry(LC-MS/MS)before and after the treatment with fluconazole(1× MIC).The differentially expressed pro-teins(DEPs)were identified based on the screening standards of fold change ≥1.20 or ≤0.83 and P＜0.05.Gene ontlogy(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis were performed for the DEPs so as to understand the biological property of the DEPs and the major biological pathways that the DEPs in-volved in.Finally,the targeted validation was carried out for the targeted differentially expressed proteins by using multiple reaction monitoring(MRM).RESULTS The MIC of fluconazole to T.asahii AS 2.2174 was 8 μg/ml.Totally 196 DEPs were identified,including 93 upregulated DEPs and 103 downregulated DEPs.The function en-richment analysis showed that the DEPs mainly participated in synthesis and metabolism of sterols,drug metabo-lism,stress response,energy metabolism and intertranslation.The targeted DEPs showed the consistent expres-sion trends in MRM target validation and TMT-LC-MS/MS.CONCLUSIONS The protein abundance of T.asahii has remarkable change under the fluconazole stress.The bioinformatics analysis reveals the complicated molecular mechanisms of T.asahii in response to the fluconazole stress,which may offer valuable ideas for understanding the drug resistance to azoles and developing new drug targets.

Objective:To detect adverse reaction risk signals of triazole antifungal agents and provide evidences for their safe use in clinic.Methods:Adverse reaction/event reports with fluconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, or isavuconazonium as the primary suspect drug were collected from the data in National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System of China reported by Shandong Province from January 2004 to June 2024 and the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from the first quarter of 2004 to the second quarter of 2023. Adverse reaction/event terms were standardized using the preferred term (PT) and system organ class in Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities 24.0. Risk signals were detected using the reporting odds ratio (ROR) method and the Bayesian confidence propagation neural network (BCPNN) algorithm. A PT was defined as an adverse reaction risk signal if the number of reports was ≥3, the lower limit of the 95% confidence interval ( CI) for ROR was >2, and the lower limit of the 95% CI for the information component ( IC) was >0. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed. Results:A total of 3 988 reports with the above 5 antifungal drugs as the primary suspect drug were collected from data in National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System of China reported by Shandong Province, 822 (20.6%) of which were serious cases. Voriconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, and isavuconazonium was the primary suspect drug in 1 852, 1 395, 703, 27, and 11 cases among the 3 988 reports, and in 591 (31.9%), 149 (10.7%), 59 (8.4%), 18 (66.7%), and 5 (5/11) serious cases among the 822 serious case reports, respectively. A total of 20 066 reports with the above 5 drugs as the primary suspect drug were collected in FAERS database, 9 635 (48.0%) of which were serious cases. Voriconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, posaconazole, and isavuconazonium was the primary suspect drug in 7 758, 6 180, 2 869, 1 796, and 1 463 cases among the 20 066 reports, and in 4 295 (55.4%), 2 806 (45.4%), 1 191 (41.5%), 828 (46.1%), and 515 (35.2%) serious cases among the 9 635 serious case reports, respectively. Based on the data reported by Shandong Province and in FAERS database, 18 and 207 risk signals of adverse reaction not mentioned in the labels were identified, respectively, and 5 of them were identified in both databases, including fluconazole-induced renal impairment and voriconazole-induced oliguria, delirium, psychiatric disorders, and rhabdomyolysis. In the data reported by Shandong Province and in FAERS database, 13 and 189 reports of muscle-related disorders (rhabdomyolysis, myopathy, and myositis) were identified respectively, involving voriconazole (in 8 and 62 cases), itraconazole (in 4 and 74 cases), and fluconazole (in 1 and 53 cases).Conclusions:Renal impairment induced by fluconazole and oliguria, delirium, psychiatric disorders, and rhabdomyolysis induced by voriconazole are risk signals of adverse reaction not mentioned in the labels for triazole antifungal agents. Voriconazole, itraconazole, and fluconazole may also cause muscle-related disorders, warranting vigilance in clinical practice.

Objective:To observe the feelings of listening to music and the importance of music in the daily life of post-lingual deaf adults with cochlear implants, and to explore the relevant influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. From January 2021 to August 2021,the Music-Related Quality of Life Scale was used to evaluate the music needs and music experiences of 63 post-lingual deaf adults who met the inclusion criteria, including 27 males and 36 females, aged (40.7±12.3) years, at the time of surgery (36.8±13.1) years, and with a preoperative hearing aid ineffective time of (3.9±5.8) years. Indicators analyzed included age, duration of ineffective preoperative hearing aid wear, preoperative music preference, duration of postoperative cochlear implant use, current hearing aid modality, and auditory rehabilitation outcomes. Whether the six factors mentioned above constituted an influence on the subjects′ music listening was investigated using SPSS 25.0 statistical software.Results:All of the observations in the scale were correlated with a single factor. The two sub-dimensions of music experience section were related to the effect of auditory rehabilitation. In the importance section, the effect of auditory rehabilitation was the influential factor of the dimension of "participation importance", and the preoperative enjoyment of music was the relevant influential factor of the dimension of "perceived importance". There was a significant difference between the groups when they were grouped by the above factors ( P value<0.05), while there was no statistically significance between the groups when they were grouped by other factors ( P value>0.05). Conclusions:Post-lingual deaf adults show the need and attempt to listen to music after cochlear implantation. The effectiveness of auditory rehabilitation and the degree of music preference preoperatively are two important factors that influence music listening in implant recipients. Once the level of auditory communication has been restored to a certain degree, it is important to pay more attention to the needs of music for implant recipients and train them in time, especially for those with music preferences preoperatively.

Programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an important immunosuppressive molecule, which inhibits the function of T cells and other immune cells by binding to the receptor programmed cell death-1. The PD-L1 expression disorder plays an important role in the occurrence, development, and treatment of sepsis or other inflammatory diseases, and has become an important target for the treatment of these diseases. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a kind of pluripotent stem cells with multiple differentiation potential. In recent years, MSCs have been found to have a strong immunosuppressive ability and are used to treat various inflammatory insults caused by hyperimmune diseases. Moreover, PD-L1 is deeply involved in the immunosuppressive events of MSCs and plays an important role in the treatment of various diseases. In this review, we will summarize the main regulatory mechanism of PD-L1 expression, and discuss various biological functions of PD-L1 in the immune regulation of MSCs.
