AIM: To analyze the influencing factors of capsular constriction syndrome(CCS)in cataract patients after phacoemulsification(Phaco)combined with intraocular lens(IOL)implantation.METHODS: Retrospective study. The data of 2 900 cataract patients(2 900 eyes)in our hospital's information system from January 2021 to January 2024 were collected. All patients were treated with Phaco combined with IOL implantation, and the incidence of CCS within 30 wk after surgery was recorded. Patients were categorized into CCS(116 cases, 116 eyes)and N-CCS group(2 784 cases, 2 784 eyes)based on the occurrence of CCS. The basic data of the two groups were compared, and the influencing factors of CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation in cataract patients were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.RESULTS: Among 2 900 patients(2 900 eyes)included, 116 cataract patients(116 eyes)developed CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation, with an incidence rate of 4.00%. The single factor and multi-factor Logistic regression analysis showed that the complicated diabetes, high myopia, complicated glaucoma, and axial length(AL)>30 mm were the risk factors for the occurrence of CCS after Phaco IOL implantation in cataract patients(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Attention should be paid to cataract patients with diabetes, high myopia, glaucoma and AL>30 mm, which will increase the risk of CCS within 30 wk after Phaco combined with IOL implantation in cataract patients.

Acute burns and chronic wounds frequently fail to heal owing to various reasons. Most drugs currently used for wound therapy in clinical practice have notable drawbacks, making their application a substantial concern. For instance, anti-inflammatory drugs can exert multisystem toxicity, and cellular therapies are costly and difficult to retain. In recent years, natural functional proteins derived from animals and plants have gained increasing attention owing to their unique biological activities, low cost, and broad application prospects in wound therapy. Herein, we isolated a new protein (JH015Y) from amphibians and demonstrated its excellent wound repair and regeneration properties compared with those of epidermal growth factor, both in vitro and in vivo. JH015 protein increased the proliferative ability of human keratinocytes and skin fibroblasts by 47.73 and 41.40%, respectively. In vivo, the medium-dose (0.5 mg/dose) groups of JH015Y protein demonstrated accelerated wound healing from day 4, with wound healing rates 1.26, 1.27, and 1.14 times that of the blank group in acute wounds, burn wounds, and diabetic ulcer, respectively. Histological analysis of Masson-stained sections indicated that the JH015Y protein contributed to collagen deposition on the wound surface, markedly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, and exhibited low biological toxicity. Accordingly, the JH015Y protein is a promising biotherapeutic agent for accelerated wound repair and regeneration.

Objective To study the pharmacokinetics and bioequivalence of two formulations of rasagiline mesylate tablets in healthy subjects under fasting and fed conditions.Methods The two-period,two-sequence,crossover study design was adopted in the fasting study.Thirty-six subjects were enrolled and given either test preparation or reference preparation 1 mg respectively in two periods.After collecting plasma samples,the plasma concentration of rasagiline was determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)and the bioequivalence was evaluated using the average bioequivalence(ABE)method.The four-period,two-sequence,fully replicate crossover study design was adopted in the fed study.Forty-eight subjects were enrolled and given the test preparation or the reference preparation at a dose of 1 mg twice respectively in four periods.According to the degree of intra-individual variation of Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞,the equivalence was evaluated using the reference-scaled average bioequivalence and ABE method,respectively.Results In the fasting study,the pharmacokinetic parameters of rasagiline of the test and reference preparation were as follow:Cmax were(9.70±3.14)and(9.62±3.85)ng·mL-1,AUC0-t were(6.03±1.47)and(6.02±1.95)ng·h·mL-1,AUC0-∞ were(6.13±1.51)and(6.12±1.97)ng·h·mL-1.The 90％confidence interval(CI)of the geometric mean ratio(GMR)were 94.11％-118.06％,99.22％-107.74％and 99.16％-107.44％for Cmax,AUC0-t and AUC0-∞,respectively,which were within the acceptance criteria of 80.00％-125.00％.In the fed study,the pharmacokinetic parameters of rasagiline of the test and reference preparation were as follow:Cmax were(3.00±1.92)and(3.52±1.77)ng·mL-1,AUC0_t were(5.02±1.20)and(5.06±1.20)ng·h·mL-1,AUC0-∞ were(5.11±1.23)and(5.14±1.22)ng·h·mL-1.The 90％CI of GMR were 96.99％-101.19％and 97.17％-101.41％for AUC0-t and AUC0-∞,which were within the acceptance criteria of 80.00％-125.00％.The 95％upper confidence bound of Cmax for were less than"0",and the point estimate of GMR were within the acceptance criteria of 80.00％-125.00％.The incidence of adverse events in fasting and fed studies was 22.86％and 22.92％,respectively,and all adverse events were moderate to mild.Conclusion The two rasagiline mesylate tablets were bioequivalent,and both the formulations were well tolerated.

A rapid analytical method for determination of paraquat and diquat in tea samples was established by improving the QuEChERS pre-treatment method combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS).Four kinds of tea powder were extracted by using acetonitrile-0.1％formic acid solution(3∶7,V/V)and ultrasonic treatment,and the supernatant was purified with 400 mg C18 and 400 mg PSA and separated on hydrophilic HILIC(100 mm×2.1 mm,1.8 μm)column by using 0.1％formic acid aqueous solution(Containing 5 mmol/L ammonium formate)and acetonitrile as mobile phases.In the electrospray ion source positive ion mode(ESI+),multiple reaction monitoring scanning technology(MRM)was used for determination,and the matrix-matched standard solution external standard method was used for quantitative analysis.The results showed that paraquat obtained good linear relationship in the content range of 0.18-200 μg/kg and diquat obtained good linear relationship in the content range of 0.36-200 μg/kg,and the correlation coefficients(R2)were 0.9939-0.9976 and 0.9959-0.9987,respectively.The limits of detection(LODs)were 0.06 and 0.12 μg/kg,and the limits of quantitation(LOQs)were 0.18 and 0.36 μg/kg,respectively.The average spiked recoveries for tea samples varied from 84.4％to 128.8％,with the relative standard deviations(RSDs)from 0.6％to 13.5％.The method was simple and efficient,with accurate quantification ability and low detection limit,which could realize efficient determination of paraquat and diquat in tea samples.

Objective To establish an acute exposure model of extreme plateau hypobaric hypoxia environment and explore transcriptomic changes related to learning and memory impairment in rats.Methods Healthy male SD rats aged 6-weeks,200-250 g,were selected and divided into control group and plateau group.The control group was treated with normal pressure and oxygen(19 rats),and the plateau group was placed in a hypobaric hypoxia chamber(19 rats)at a simulated altitude of 8000 meters and treated for 72 hours.Behavioral changes were detected with 16 animals from each group using contextual fear conditioning and Morris water maze(8 rats each).Three hippocampal tissues were extracted from each group for transcriptomic sequencing,and the molecular mechanism of learning and memory impairment induced by extreme plateau environment was analyzed by Gene Ontology(GO),Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)and gene set enrichment analysis(GSEA)enrichment.Results The behavioral result showed that compared with the control group,the fear memory and spatial learning memory abilities of rats in plateau group were decreased.GO and KEGG analyses showed that the extreme altitude environment reshaped the hippocampal microenvironment and affected the intercellular signal transmission,while GSEA analysis showed that the extreme altitude environment up-regulated the gene set related to the plasma membrane and extracellular matrix.Conclusion The extreme plateau environment at an altitude of 8000 meters could affect the microenvironment of rat hippocampus,destroy intercellular connections and impair intercellular communication and then induce learning and memory impairment.
