Dry eye disease(DED)is a common ocular surface disorder worldwide, primarily characterized by a loss of homeostasis of the tear film, and frequently associated with meibomian gland dysfunction(MGD), decreased tear film stability, ocular discomfort, and visual impairment. In recent years, factors such as the widespread use of digital devices,the aging population, and environmental changes have contributed to a significant increase in its global prevalence, making it a major public health concern. Red light therapy(RLT), also known as low-level laser therapy(LLLT)or photobiomodulation(PBM), is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes low-energy red or near-infrared light to irradiate tissues. It exerts photobiomodulatory effects to promote cellular repair and functional recovery. This therapy has demonstrated considerable potential in treating various ocular conditions. Its broader clinical application could improve therapeutic outcomes, alleviate patient discomfort and financial burden, and reduce the consumption of healthcare resources, thereby yielding significant socio-economic benefits. This paper systematically reviews the multifaceted mechanisms and application prospects of RLT in managing DED, including its anti-inflammatory effects, improvement of meibomian gland function, promotion of conjunctival goblet cell repair, and alleviation of visual fatigue, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation and practical reference for its clinical adoption.

As the need for antibody production rises, there is an urgent need to lower the costs and enhance the efficiency of the separation process. Currently, the chromatographic media used for antibody separation and purification often focus on individual properties of antibodies, such as affinity, hydrophobicity, and charge, leading to issues like low purification efficiency or inadequate adsorption capacity. To address this, an electrostatically coupled polypeptide affinity medium (FD7-3, 5-diaminobenzoic acid n-sepharose, FD7-DA-Sepharose) was developed for rapid purification of antibodies from cell culture supernatant. This medium utilized 3, 5-diaminobenzoic acid as a spacer to attach the heptapeptide-affinity ligand (FYEILHD, FD7) to agarose microspheres. Antibodies could be adsorbed through charge interactions with the carboxyl functional group of the FD7-DA-Sepharose spacer, while FD7 enhanced electrostatic coupling and affinity adsorption through synergistic effects, significantly increasing the adsorption capacity while maintaining the affinity and specificity. The influences of pH and ionic strength on adsorption capacity were investigated with human immunoglobulin as a model protein. The static adsorption capacity (Q_m) of FD7-DA-Sepharose in the solution of pH 6.0 reached 67.73 mg/mL, representing a 52.68% increase compared with that (44.36 mg/mL) of the commercial Protein A affinity medium. Furthermore, the elution conditions for FD7-DA- Sepharose were mild (20 mmol/L PB, 0.5 mol/L NaCl, pH 6.0), in contrast to the harsh acidic elution (pH 2.7-3.6) typically associated with Protein A, which can damage antibody integrity. The FD7-DA-Sepharose medium was then employed to purify antibodies from cell culture supernatant, achieving the yield of 94.8% and the purity of 98.4%. The secondary structure of the purified antibody was determined by circular dichroism spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that FD7-DA-Sepharose enabled efficient purification of antibodies from cell culture supernatant, which provided a cost-effective solution (approximately one-third the price of commercial Protein A affinity medium) with gentle elution conditions that preserve the natural conformation of antibodies. This approach paves a novel, economical, and efficient way for the separation and purification of antibodies from cell culture supernatant.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a modified sericin hydrogel scaffold loaded with dexamethasone(SMH-CD/DEX)scaffold for promoting bone defect healing by stimulating anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization.Methods The light-curable SMH-CD/DEX scaffold was prepared using dexamethasone-loaded NH2-β-cyclodextrin(NH2-β-CD)and sericin hydrogel and characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),biocompatibility assessment and drug release test.THP-1 macrophages incubated with the scaffold were examined for protein expressions of iNOS and Arg-1,mRNA expressions of IL-6,Il-10,Arg-1 and iNOS,and surface markers CD86 and CD206 using Western blotting,RT-qPCR,and flow cytometry.In a co-culture system of human periodontal ligament stem cells(HPDLSCs)and THP-1 macrophages,the osteogenic ability of the stem cells incubated with the scaffold was evaluated by detecting protein expressions of COL1A1 and Runx2 and expressions of ALP,Runx2,OCN and BMP2 mRNA,ALP staining,and alizarin red staining.In a rat model of mandibular bone defect,the osteogenic effect of the scaffold was assessed by observing bone regeneration using micro-CT and histopathological staining.Results In THP-1 macrophages,incubation with SMH-CD/DEX scaffold significantly enhanced protein expressions of Arg-1 and mRNA expressions of IL-10 and Arg-1 and lowered iNOS protein expression and IL-6 and iNOS mRNA expressions.In the co-culture system,SMH-CD/DEX effectively increased the protein expressions of COL1A1 and Runx2 and mRNA expressions of ALP and BMP2 in HPDLSCs and promoted their osteogenic differentiation.In the rat models,implantation of SMH-CD/DEX scaffold significantly promoted bone repair and bone regeneration in the bone defect.Conclusion The SMH-CD/DEX scaffold capable of sustained dexamethasone release promotes osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and bone defect repair in rats by regulating M2 polarization.

Objective To investigate the involvement of phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein-2(PACS-2)in mitochondrial function and apoptosis in N2a/APP695swe cells and further explore the role and significance of PACS-2 in the development of Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods The CCK8 method was used to analyze the cell survival rate of N2a/APP695swe cells treated with different concentrations of tetrahydroxy stilbene glycoside(TSG)for 48h and to select the appropriate concentration of TSG for subsequent experiments.N2a/WT cells and N2a/APP695swe cells were routinely cultured in vitro,and the experimental cells were divided into 3 groups:blank control group(WT group):N2a/WT cells;model group(APP group):N2a/APP695swe cells;treatment group(TSG group):N2a/APP695swe cells with appropriate concentrations of TSG intervention.TUNEL method to observe apoptosis by fluorescence microscopy;JC-1 method for flow detection of cellular mitochondrial membrane potential;WB to detect protein expression of PACS-2;RT-qPCR to detect PACS-2 mRNA expression.Results CCK8 method was used to analyze the cell survival rate of different concentrations of TSG acting on cells after 48h:the protective effect of 100 μmol/L TSG was the most significant and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).The TUNEL method of fluorescence microscopy observed the apoptosis:compared with the WT group,the apoptosis rate of APP group was increased,compared with the APP group,the apoptosis rate of TSG group was decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).The JC-1 method was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential of cells:compared with the WT group,the membrane potential of APP group was decreased,compared with the APP group,the membrane potential of TSG group was increased,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);Western blot(WB)detection of PACS-2 protein expression:compared with the WT group,PACS-2 expression was significantly higher in the APP group,and compared with the APP group,PACS-2 expression was significantly lower in the TSG group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05);The RT-qPCR detected the mRNA expression of PACS-2:the expression of PACS-2 was elevated in the APP group compared with the WT group and decreased in the TSG group compared with the APP group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion PACS-2 has an important role in the development of AD,and its upregulation may promote the development of AD.The cerebroprotective drug TSG may exert cytoprotective effects by downregulating PACS-2 to inhibit apoptosis and improve mitochondrial function in AD model cells.

Objective:To analyze the evaluation of the application effect and deficiency of nurses acting as standardized parents in the graduation examination of standardized residency training of pediatrics and further improve and promote the level of standardized parents.Methods:A questionnaire survey was used to collect the scores of nurse standardized parents by students and examiners who took part in the graduation examination of standardized residency training of pediatrics in 2021. And the self-evaluation scores of standardized parents were collected. Counting data were represented by the number of cases and composition ratio. A Chi-square test was used to compare the rates.Results:A total of 125 questionnaires from students and 37 questionnaires from nurse standardized parents were collected, and the overall satisfaction (very satisfied + satisfied) of standardized parents reached 121 (96.80%). In the three dimensions of simulation ability, compliance with question-and-answer rules, and simulated attitude, students believed that the consistency between standardized parents and actual parents in simulated altitude was lower than that in the simulation ability and compliance with question-and-answer rules ( P=0.007, P=0.001). The overall satisfaction of standardized parents (very satisfied + satisfied) reached 87.38% (388/444). There were 26 (70.27%) nurse standardized parents who had the lowest satisfaction with their own performance ability, followed by 28 (75.68%) cases of imitation ability and 30 (81.08%) cases of adaptability. Conclusions:It is feasible to adopt nurse standardized parents in the assessment of standardized residency training of pediatrics, and both students and examiners have higher satisfaction. The next step is to improve the training of nurses standardized parents in the attitude of simulation and, at the same time, enhance the training of imitation ability and adaptability, so as to further expand the construction of standardized parents.

Objective To investigate the clinical features in children with invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) and early warning indicators of severe case.Methods The case data of 101 children inpatients with IPD isolated Streptococcus pneumoniae (Sp) at least once blood culture in this hospital from January 2007 to De-cember 2021 were collected retrospectively.The children patients were divided into the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) group (35 cases) and general ward group (66 cases) according to whether or not entering PICU during hospitalization.The general clinical data,infection types and results of drug sensitivity test and bacteri-al strain serotype identification were compared between the two groups and analyzed.Results Compared with the general ward group,the male proportion,proportions of complicating nervous system disease and iron-defi-ciency anemia,winter incidence rate,disturbance of consciousness,convulsion,dyspnea,heart rate increase,oc-currence rate of vomiting and diarrhea,proportion of peripheral blood neutrophilic granulocytes,C reactive protein (CRP),lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) level,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L,creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) abnomality,proportions of bacterial meningitis,sepsis and severe pneumonia in the PICU group were higher,the proportion of 3-97 percentile of body weight,bronchopneumonia and no-focus blood stream infection were lower,WBC,Hb and albumin level were lower,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Eleven kinds of serotypes were identified in this study,ranking the top five in order were 6B,14,19F,23F and 19A.Pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) could cover 96.9％ of the IPD sero-types.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that consciousness disturbance,convulsion,per-centage of neutrophils increase,Hb<90 g/L,LDH>700 U/L and CK-MB abnormality indicated the condition of IPD children patients was critical,which was the early-warning indicator of entering PICU (P<0.05).Con-clusion Severe IPD lacks the early specific early-warning indicator,and the cover rate of PCV13 is high.

Objective To investigate the effect of osimertinib combined with aspirin on the survival pe-riod of the advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)mutation.Methods Sixty lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutation in advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)first diagnosed in Banan District Second People's Hospital of from August 2020 to October 2021 were selected as the study subjects and divided into the observation group and control group by the random number table method,30 cases in each group.The observation group adopted osimertinib combined with aspi-rin,and the control used osimertinib merely.The overall response rate(ORR),disease control rate(DCR),progression-free survival(PFS),overall survival(OS)and the adverse reactions occurrence were compared between the two groups.Results ORR and DCR after 3,6,12 months medication in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,PFS and OS in the observation group were longer,and the differences were statistically significant[14.9(11.8,17.2)m vs.10.5(8.9,12.5)m;24.1(19.5,27.4)m vs.18.1(16.1,21.1)m,P＜0.05].In addition,PFS and OS in male and female patients with brain metastasis,EGER19 and 21 ex-on mutation in the observation group were longer than those in the control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in overall and≥Ⅲ degree adverse reactions between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Osimertinib combined with aspirin could prolong PFS and OS of the advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutation without increasing the risk of adverse reactions.

The department of critical care medicine, the clinical base of critical care medicine, is the centralized management unit for the treatment of critical patients. Medicine and nursing are independent disciplines, but both can be fully utilized from different perspectives when dealing with critically ill patients. With the development of critical care medicine understanding and technology, the concept of doctor-nurse integration construction in the department of critical care medicine has emerged. Doctor-nurse integration construction in the department of critical care medicine needs to take severe diseases as the core and academic development as the orientation. Clinical practice should be carried out through medical cooperation, based on critical cognition and unified thinking mode.
