Central nervous system（CNS） disorders are characterized by complex pathological mechanisms and the presence of the blood-brain barrier（BBB）， which significantly limits the effectiveness of drug therapy. Traditional drug delivery modes include oral administration， intravenous injection and transdermal delivery， which have certain advantages， but it is difficult for the drugs to effectively cross the BBB. Therefore， it is crucial to find drug delivery modes that can efficiently traverse the BBB. Nasal drug delivery， as a non-invasive method， can realize the targeted delivery of drugs to the CNS via three pathways， including olfactory neurons， trigeminal neurons and blood circulation， and shows a broad application prospect in the treatment of CNS diseases. Numerous studies have further confirmed that nasal drug delivery combined with novel drug delivery systems such as lipid nanocarriers， nanoparticles， nanoemulsions and composite in situ gels can effectively load the active components of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）， and significantly increase drug concentration in the brain， which provides new strategies for the treatment of CNS diseases. In this paper， the current status of drug delivery for CNS diseases was systematically sorted out， the characteristics of nasal drug delivery were discussed in depth， and the research progress of passive targeting， active targeting， and "guiding the meridian" drug delivery strategies for the nasal-to-brain transport of TCM active components was summarized and analyzed， which was aimed to provide references and insights for the development of drugs for CNS diseases and the application of TCM in nasal-to-brain delivery.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and safety of long-distance urological nephrotomy with the support of 5G communication technology by using the domestic robot.Methods:Clinical data of the patients with remote robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy, which were completed from March to April 2021 by the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University (as the host hospital where the main operating system located) were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 patients, including 2 males and 1 female.The average age was 61 (49-73) years, and the average body mass index was 23.73 (20.00-27.76) kg/m 2. One patient had a ASA classification of grade 2, and the other 2 patients had grade 3. All patients met the surgical criteria for non-functional nephrectomy. The chief surgeon who performing the telesurgery was located at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University. The surgeon remotely controlled the bedside operating system (slave system) in 3 local hospitals located in other cities in Shandong Province (network communication distances of 82.5, 141 and 229 km, respectively) by manipulating the master system located in Qingdao. Images and operating instructions during surgery were transmitted using 5G wireless communication technology. Intraoperative network conditions, robot operation, and patient perioperative data were summarized. Results:All 3 tele-nephrectomies were successfully completed. The average network signal latency time was 27.3 (23-30) ms, with no packet loss, and the average total latency time was 177.3(173-180) ms. The mean resection time was 79.3 (52-111) min, and the average intraoperative blood loss was 31.1 (15.6-41.9) ml. There were no network related adverse events occurred during the operation, and the robot-related adverse events occured 3 times, all three of which were characterized by inconsistent master and slave movements of the manipulator arm and the bedside robotic arm. None of these adverse events affected the successful performance of the telesurgery. The mean postoperative exhaust time was 60.5 (38.5-78.0) h. The mean postoperative VAS score at 24 hours was 3.7 (3-4). The Clavien-Dindo classification were all grade I. No significant abnormality was found on the 30th day after surgery, and the patients recovered well at the follow-up until 6 months postoperatively.Conclusions:It is safe and feasible to perform remote robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy based on 5G communication technology with no serious adverse events or surgical complications.However, the conclusion needs to be further verified by large sample and multi-center prospective study.

Objective To build rat DVT inferior vena cava partial stasis (narrow) model, to detected the expression ofβ2-GP1, VEGF and TF in rat blood, and to investigat the correlation betweenβ2-GP1, VEGF and TF with DVT. Meth?ods SD rats (n=70) are divided into control group (n=10), sham operation group (n=30) and the model group (n=30) ran?domly and DVT model was built by the inferior vena cava partial stasis (narrow) after 2 h, 8 h and 24 h respectively. In each time point, ten rats were taken in each group, inferior vena cava blood were collected whileβ2-GP1, VEGF and TF expres?sion were detected by ELISA. Results In rat experiment, compared with control group, there was no significant change in?expression of β2-GP1, VEGF and TF in sham operation group (P > 0.05). Levels of β2-GP1, VEGF and TF were in?creased at the 2nd hour and 8th hour then peak at the 24th hour which was higher than those in the 24th hour control group and in Sham group and it was also higher than those in the 2nd hour and the 8th hour in model group with statistical signifi?cant difference (P<0.01). Conclusion Based on the above experimental data, in rat DVT formation process, β2-GP1, VEGF and TF may play an important role in promote DVT formation.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (L-NAC) protect hair cells in the rat cochlea from injury of exposure to styrene. METHOD: Seventeen adult Long Evans rats were used in present study. The animals were randomly assigned into test group (n=9) and control group (n=8). The animals were exposed to styrene by gavage at 400 mg/kg (2 g styrene was mixed with 1 ml olive oil). Test group animals received styrene exposure plus L-NAC 325 mg/kg (L-NAC was dissolved in physiological saline solution) by intraperitoneal injection. Treatment was performed once a day, 5 days per week for 3 weeks. Control group animals received the same volume of saline injection on an identical time schedule used for the test group. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds of both ears elicited with clicks were measured before and at the end of the 3-week styrene or styrene plus L-NAC treatment. After hearing was re-assessed, animals were sacrificed and cochleae were quickly removed from the skull. Following fixation, whole specimens comprising the basilar membrane with Corti's organ were separated from the modiolus. The organs of Corti were stained with propidium iodide (PI) and the TUNEL assay to visualize the morphologic viability of hair cell nuclei, FITC-labeled phalloidin, a F-actin intercalating fluorescent probe used to visualize the morphologic viability of cuticular plate and the stereocilia in the hair cells. Each organ of Corti was thoroughly examined using fluorescence microscopy. The numbers of damaged OHCs (apoptotic, necrotic and missing OHCs) were documented. RESULT: There was a statistically significant decrease in ABR threshold shift (P<0.05) in the styrene-plus-L-NAC treated animals. The average percentage of damaged OHCs in the styrene-treated animals was 28.3%. In contrast, the average percentage of OHC damage in the styrene-plus-L-NAC treated group was only 10.6% (P<0.01). The percentage of reduction in the number of apoptotic cells in styrene-plus-L-NAC treated group was 78% (P<0.01). However, the mean reduction of necrotic cells was only 23% (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The results indicate that the treatment with L-NAC may effectively protect against the styrene-induced hair cells damage and preferably reduce the number of apoptotic OHCs.
