Dry eye,also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca,is clinically manifested as dry eyes,itching,burning,blurred vision and other symptoms,which seriously affects the life quality of patients.In recent years,the incidence of dry eye has increased year by year,and it has become one of the common clinical diseases in ophthalmology.At present,the treatment methods of dry eye mainly include drug treatment,surgical treatment and clinical nursing,among which drug is the most commonly used method for the treatment of dry eye.Therefore,this paper summarizes the application and research progress of clinical medication of dry eye based on permeation pathways and inflammatory pathways in recent years,so as to provide some ideas for the follow-up treatment of dry eye and drug development.

This study was aimed at analyzing the genomic characteristics of Salmonella typhimurium(1,4,[5],12:i:1,2)in Urumqi from 2018 to 2021,to provide evidence for the monitoring of this serotype and handling of public health emergen-cies.A total of 26 Salmonella typhimurium isolates were obtained from the feces of people with diarrhea in Urumqi.Whole-genome sequencing(WGS)combined with bioinformatic analysis was used to predict serovars,MLST types,plasmid repli-cons,antimicrobial resistance genes,and virulence genes;in addition phylogenomic analysis based on genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms(wgSNPs)was conducted to determine the epidemiological relatedness among isolates.A total of 47 resistance genes representing ten categories were de-tected with a high prevalence,including aac(6')-Iaa(100％),blaTEM-1B(30.8％),tet(A)(42.3％),qnrS1(30.8％),and sul3(23.1％),encoding resistance to aminoglycosides,β-lac-tams,tetracyclines,quinolones,and sulfa,in addition to chro-mosomic mutations affecting the gyrA gene.Moreover,12 plasmids were detected,among which IncFIB(S)and IncFII(S)(34.6％)were dominant.The differences in virulence genes a-mong strains isolated in different periods were reflected primarily in the typical virulence genes associated with Salmonella vir-ulence mechanisms.In addition,cgMLST indicated that the dominant type of Salmonella typhimurium was cgST36414,con-tainning 10 strains.Moreover,wgSNP analysis indicated that Salmonella typhimurium isolates in Urumqi were consistent with the epidemic trends in 15 provinces and cities in China and also showed local evolution.Salmonella typhimurium isolates in Urumqi frequently carried a variety of resistance genes and plasmid replicons,which are key in the dissemination and evolution of drug resistance.Close communication links may exist with various sources of flora in the food chain,thus posing severe chal-lenges in public health monitoring and prevention.Therefore,the construction of the laboratory routine monitoring network based on internet information systems should be strengthened to improve the timeliness of monitoring and limit the spread of multidrug-resistant strains.

Dental erosion is characterized by progressively destroyed teeth, which has no relation to bacteria but to chemicals. Some internal factors, such as gastroesophageal reflux induced by bulimia, anorexia, gastrointestinal diseases, or drugs, and external factors, such as diet, drugs, and occupational acid exposure, are considered promotive factors for this disease. This article presents a patient suffering from severe dental erosion in the whole dentition, especially in the maxillary teeth, due to gastroesophageal reflux induced by glucocorticoid therapy for optic neuritis. This article discusses the mechanism between optic neuritis glucocorticoid therapy and dental erosion.

The PRR11 gene (Proline Rich 11) has been implicated in lung cancer; however, relationship between PRR11 and immune infiltration is not clearly understood. In this study, we used The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data to analyze the lung adenocarcinoma patients; PRR11 gene expression, clinicopathological findings, enrichment, and immune infiltration were also studied. PRR11 immune response expression assays in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) were performed using TIMER, and statistical analysis and visualization were conducted using R software. All data were verified using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), and the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). We found that PRR11 was an important prognostic factor in patients with LUAD. PRR11 expression was correlated with tumor stage and progression. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) showed that PRR11 was enriched in the cell cycle regulatory pathways. Immune infiltration analysis revealed that the number of T helper 2 (Th2) cells increased when PRR11 was overexpressed. These results confirm the role of PRR11 as a prognostic marker of lung adenocarcinoma by controlling the cell cycle and influencing the immune system to facilitate lung cancer progression.
