Acute lung injury (ALI) has been a kind of acute and severe disease that is mainly characterized by systemic uncontrolled inflammatory response to the production of huge amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the lung tissue. Given the critical role of ROS in ALI, a Fe3O4 loaded bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanocluster (BF) was developed to act as a nanomedicine for the treatment of ALI. Combining with NIR irradiation, it exhibited excellent ROS scavenging capacity. Significantly, it also displayed the excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions for lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced macrophages (RAW264.7), and Sprague Dawley rats via lowering intracellular ROS levels, reducing inflammatory factors expression levels, inducing macrophage M2 polarization, inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway, increasing CD4+/CD8+ T cell ratios, as well as upregulating HSP70 and CD31 expression levels to reprogram redox homeostasis, reduce systemic inflammation, activate immunoregulation, and accelerate lung tissue repair, finally achieving the synergistic enhancement of ALI immunotherapy. It finally provides an effective therapeutic strategy of BF + NIR for the management of inflammation related diseases.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an orbital disease closely associated with thyroid disorders, with 25%-50% of patients with diffuse toxic goiter (Graves Disease) developing secondary TED, which can lead to blindness and disability and significantly impair patients' visual function and quality of life.Activity staging is a crucial assessment index for TED and is essential for clinical evaluation, treatment planning, and prognosis.The Clinical Activity Score (CAS) is currently the most widely used method for this purpose both domestically and internationally.To improve the accuracy and consistency of CAS evaluations, the European Group of Graves' Orbitopathy (EUGOGO) recommended the use of a CAS scoring atlas in the TED guidelines.However, existing atlases are primarily based on Caucasians.Considering the anatomical differences in the orbit between Chinese and Caucasians and the resulting divergent ocular characteristics, there is a need for a comprehensive interpretation of the CAS scoring details in the current guidelines.This should be followed by further refinement to tailor the CAS scoring criteria to Chinese patients with TED.Such measures will standardize the operational methods and judgment criteria of CAS scoring in China, thereby providing a reliable basis for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
