The dysfunction of the lysosome and autophagy-lysosome system serves as a driving force for neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, inflammatory conditions, and other related diseases, closely influencing their onset and progression. Therefore, restoring the function of the lysosome or autophagy-lysosome system has become an increasingly crucial therapeutic strategy in disease management. In this review, we will introduce the lysosomal biogenesis, structure, and function, as well as the biological process of the autophagy-lysosome system. Various diseases closely associated with lysosomal/autophagic dysfunction are also reviewed, emphasizing the significance of targeting the function of the lysosome or autophagy-lysosome system in disease treatment. Finally, we focus on engineered nanomaterials that have the capabilities to restore the function of the lysosome or autophagy-lysosome system, and summarize different strategies and methods for achieving this goal. This review aims to elucidate the latest progress in the field of nanomedicine for lysosomal/autophagic defect-related diseases and inspire the development of innovative and clinically valuable nanomedicines.

Objective:To investigate the expression of ephrin type-A receptor 2 (EPHA2) in psoriatic lesions and its effect on the proliferation and differentiation of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEKs) .Methods:The GDS4602 dataset from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was analyzed to determine EPHA2 gene expression changes in psoriatic lesions. Skin tissue samples were collected from 3 psoriasis patients and 3 healthy controls, and EPHA2 expression was determined in the skin tissues by immunofluorescence staining. Twelve female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (4 mice in each group) : a normal control group (receiving no treatment), an imiquimod group (topically treated with 62.5 mg of imiquimod 5% cream), and an imiquimod + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (topically treated with 62.5 mg of imiquimod 5% cream, followed by intraperitoneal injections of the EPHA2 inhibitor ALWⅡ-41-27 at a dose of 20 mg·kg -1·d -1) ; after 6 days of treatment, dorsal skin samples were harvested for hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, immunofluorescence staining was performed to determine the expression of EPHA2 and phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2), and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR (qPCR) was conducted to determine the mRNA expression of the nuclear proliferation antigen Ki67, involucrin (Ivl), loricrin (Lor), and keratin 10 (Krt10). In vitro cultured NHEKs were divided into a control group (receiving no treatment), an M5 group (treated with 10 ng/ml M5 cytokines [including interleukin-17A, interleukin-22, interleukin-1α, oncostatin M and tumor necrosis factor-α]), an ALWⅡ-41-27 group (treated with 1 μmol/L ALWⅡ-41-27), and an M5 + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (treated with 10 ng/ml M5 and 1 μmol/L ALWⅡ-41-27) ; after 24 hours of treatment, the 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay was performed to assess cellular proliferative activity, Western blot analysis to determine the expression of EPHA2, ERK and their phosphorylated proteins, and qPCR to determine the mRNA expression of KI67, IVL, LOR, and KRT10. One-way analysis of variance, Dunnett's T3 test, two-independent-sample t test, and paired t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:GEO database analysis revealed upregulated EPHA2 expression in psoriatic lesions compared with normal skin tissues from healthy controls ( t = 21.07, P < 0.001). Immunofluorescence staining showed increased EPHA2 expression in skin tissues from psoriasis patients and mouse models of psoriasis compared with those from healthy controls and normal control mice, respectively (both P < 0.01). In the animal experiments, the imiquimod group showed thicker epidermis, increased Ki67 mRNA expression, decreased mRNA expression of Ivl, Lor, and Krt10, and elevated p-ERK1/2 expression compared with the normal control group and imiquimod + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (all P < 0.05). In the cell experiments, the M5 group showed an increased proportion of EdU-positive cells (35.61% ± 1.18% vs. 24.83% ± 0.60% and 12.49% ± 1.52%, t = 8.12, 12.00, P = 0.015, 0.001, respectively), increased KI67 mRNA expression, and decreased mRNA expression of IVL, LOR, and KRT10 compared with the control group and M5 + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (all P < 0.05) ; Western blot analysis revealed that the expression levels of EPHA2, p-EPHA2, and p-ERK1/2 in NHEKs were significantly higher in the M5 group than in the control group and M5 + ALWⅡ-41-27 group (all P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the ERK1/2 protein expression among groups ( P > 0.05) . Conclusion:EPHA2 expression was upregulated in psoriatic lesions, which may promote keratinocyte proliferation and inhibit its differentiation, possibly via the ERK pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of state-target formula Angelica and Safflower spot removal essence in the treatment of melasma. MethodsA randomized，double-blind，placebo-controlled parallel-group trial was conducted，selecting patients with Qi stagnation and blood stasis type of melasma who visited the dermatology outpatient department of Beijing Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from September 2022 to February 2023. In accordance with the double-blind principle，a random number table was generated to randomly divide the patients into an experimental group （50 cases） and a control group （50 cases）. The experimental group applied the Angelica and Safflower spot removal essence topically，while the control group applied a placebo topically，with continuous treatment for 8 weeks and a follow-up of 1 month. Melasma Area and Severity Index （MASI），Physician Global Assessment （PGA），patient self-assessment scoring，VISIA detection and scoring were performed before medication and on the first day after stopping medication，and all adverse events were recorded. ResultsIn a study involving 100 patients，87 cases were included in the analysis. The experimental group consisted of 45 cases，with 5 dropouts，and the control group had 42 cases，with 8 dropouts. The baseline data of the patients in both groups were consistent，with no statistically significant differences. After treatment，the total effective rate of the experimental group was 75.56% （34/45），significantly higher than the control group's 2.38% （1/42），and the difference was statistically significant （χ²=48.38，P<0.01）. Compared with before treatment，after treatment，the MASI score，VISIA image spot，brown spot，and red area score of the experimental group patients were significantly reduced （P<0.05，P<0.01），while there was no statistically significant difference in the control group patients. Compared with the control group after treatment，the experimental group showed more significant improvement （P<0.05，P<0.01）. VISIA image analysis showed that after 8 weeks of treatment，the experimental group showed significant improvement in surface spots，deep spots，and red areas，while the control group remained unchanged or showed an increasing trend. 42.22% （19/45） of the experimental group had a PGA score of 3 or below，while 88.89% （40/45） had a PGA score of 4 or below. 80.95% （34/42） of the control group had a PGA score of 5 or above，and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant （χ²=38.26，P<0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in the recurrence rate and adverse reaction rate within one month between the experimental group and the control group. ConclusionThe state-target formula Angelica and Safflower spot removal essence is clinically effective and safe in the treatment of melasma.

ObjectiveTo obtain the gene sequences of major histocompatibility complex (MHC ) Ⅱgenes of Wuzhishan pigs, analyze their genetic information, and explore the biological functions of their MHC system. MethodsSpleen samples were collected from 3 adult male Wuzhishan pigs. Primers were designed according to MHCⅡ gene sequences, and the coding sequences of Wuzhishan pig MHCⅡ genes were amplified by RT-PCR. Sanger sequencing was performed to determine the full-length sequences. Bioinformatics tools were employed to analyze the physicochemical properties, phylogenetic relationships, conserved motifs, structural domains, chromosomal localization, and syntenic relationships of these genes. ResultsEight MHCⅡ genes were identified in Wuzhishan pigs, designated as SLA-DRA, SLA-DQA, SLA-DQB, SLA-DRB, SLA-DOB, SLA-DMB, SLA-DMA and SLA-DOA. The full-length sequences of these genes were determined by Sanger sequencing and subsequently deposited in GenBank under accession numbers PQ182796, PQ182797, PQ182798, PQ182799, PQ182800, PQ182801, PQ182802, and PQ164779. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the six MHCⅡ genes of Wuzhishan pigs clustered separately from their counterparts in Duroc, Meishan, Large White, and Bama pigs, indicating distinct evolutionary trajectories. Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated that most MHC Ⅱ proteins were hydrophobic, with molecular weights ranging from 27 700 to 30 000 Da. Genes within the same subregion shared conserved motifs. Specifically, four MHCⅡ proteins encoded by SLA-DQB, SLA-DRB, SLA-DOB, and SLA-DMB contained the MHCⅡβ conserved domain, while those encoded by the genes SLA-DRA, SLA-DQA, SLA-DMA, and SLA-DOA contained the MHCⅡα conserved domain. The eight MHCⅡ genes were scattered along the long arm of chromosome 7 in the Wuzhishan pigs, exhibiting syntenic relationships with three human genes and five Duroc pig genes. ConclusionThe MHCⅡ genes of Wuzhishan pigs may possess a unique evolutionary origin.

ObjectiveTo investigate the status and dietary intake risk of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables sold in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2023, so as to provide a scientific basis for the regulation and management of pesticide in the future. MethodsIn accordance with the requirements and methods specified in the “National Food Contamination and Hazardous Factor Risk Monitoring Work Manual” and the current corresponding national food inspection standards for various foods, a total of 807 samples of vegetables and fruits from various counties and districts of Wenzhou City were collected for testing and analysis. Eventually, 23 types of pesticides with a detection rate greater than 5% and those exceeding the standard were selected for dietary intake risk assessment. ResultsFrom 2020 to 2023, the overall detection rate of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables monitored in Wenzhou was 71.62%, with an overall exceedance rate of 5.27%. From the results of the monitoring of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables, fresh legume vegetables had the highest detection rate of 90.00%. Among the six major categories of pesticides monitored, fungicides in vegetables and fruits had the highest detection rates of 68.18% and 85.03%, respectively. The highest exceedance rate in vegetables was organophosphorus pesticides, accounting for 2.85%, while in fruits, neonicotinoid pesticides had the highest exceedance rate of 3.21%. From the perspective of sampling time, the peak detection rate of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables in Wenzhou occurred in June and October. The index of food safety (IFS) of the 23 pesticides with a detection rate higher than 5% ranged from 0.000 7 to 0.694 2 based on the 95% monitoring value of pesticide residues, which were all less than 1. Calculated at maximum content, the IFS values of dithiocarbamate (calculated by CS₂), chlorothalonil and propiconazole were all greater than 1, indicating that the maximum detection values of the three pesticides exceeded the acceptable safety risk. The risk level of acute dietary intake of the 23 pesticides ranged from 1.26% to 52.65%. ConclusionThe overall situation of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables sold in Wenzhou from 2020 to 2023 is favourable, but the exceedance rate of pesticide in some fruits and vegetables is high. Special attention should be paid to the pesticide residues of fungicides, neonicotinoid insecticides and organophosphorus pesticides in fresh legume vegetables, bulb vegetables and some fruits sold in Wenzhou, such as acetamiprid in bayberry and cowpea, dimethomorph in strawberry, chlorpyrifos in leek, etc., and monitoring of pesticide residues in food need to be strengthened.
