Objective To prepare a nano drug(PFOB@Lip-MMC)with liposome as the carrier,liquid perfluorooc-tyl bromide(PFOB)as core and mitomycin C(MMC)loading on the liposome shell and study its inhibitory effect on the proliferation of human pterygium fibroblasts(HPFs).Methods The thin film dispersion-hydration ultrasonic method was used to prepare PFOB@Lip-MMC and detect its physical and chemical properties.Cell Counting Kit-8,Cam-PI cell viability staining and flow cytometry were employed to detect the impact of different concentrations of PFOB@Lip-MMC on the via-bility of HPFs.DiI fluorescence labeled PFOB@Lip-MMC was used to observe the permeability of the nano drug to HPFs under a laser confocal microscope.After establishing HPF inflammatory cell models,they were divided into the control group(with sterile phosphate-buffered saline solution added),PFOB@Lip group(with PFOB@Lip added),MMC group(with MMC added),PFOB@Lip-MMC group(with PFOB@Lip-MMC added)and normal group(with fresh culture medi-um added)according to the experimental requirements.After co-incubation for 24 h,flow cytometer was used to detect the apoptosis rate of inflammatory cells,and the gene expression levels of interleukin(IL)-1β,prostaglandin E2(PGE2),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in cells were analyzed by PCR.Results The average particle size and Zeta potential of PFOB@Lip-MMC were(103.45±2.17)nm and(27.34±1.03)mV,respec-tively,and its entrapped efficiency and drug loading rate were(72.85±3.28)％and(34.27±2.04)％,respectively.The sustained-release MMC of drug-loaded nanospheres reached(78.34±2.92)％in vitro in a 24-hour ocular surface environ-ment.The biological safety of PFOB@Lip-MMC significantly improved compared to MMC.In terms of the DiI fluorescence labeled PFOB@Lip-MMC,after co-incubation with inflammatory HPFs for 2 h,DiI fluorescence labeling was diffusely dis-tributed in the cytoplasm of inflammatory HPFs.The apoptosis rate of inflammatory HPFs in the PFOB@Lip-MMC group[(77.23±4.93)％]was significantly higher than that in the MMC group[(51.62±3.28)％].The PCR examination results showed that the gene transcription levels of IL-1 β,PGE2,TNF-α and VEGF in other groups were significantly reduced com-pared to the control group and PFOB@Lip group,with the most significant decrease in the PFOB@Lip-MMC group(all P＜0.05).Conclusion In this study,a novel nano drug(PFOB@LIP-MMC)that inhibited the proliferation of HPFs was successfully synthesized,and its cytotoxicity was significantly reduced compared to the original drugs.It has good bio-compatibility and anti-inflammatory effects,providing a new treatment approach for reducing the recurrence rate after pte-rygium surgery.

Objective:pH low insertion peptide (pHLIP)-variant 7 (var7)-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) was used to explore an accurate imaging tool that targeted burn wounds to better perform burn debridement.Methods:Twelve rat models of burn wound were established and pHLIP-var7-FITC with different concentrations (0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/ml) were injected from the rat tail vein for in vivo fluorescence imaging. By determining the concentration of fluorescent conjugates to the burn wound, the scope of wound injury necrosis was judged by combining pathological sections, and its residue and toxicity in important organs such as heart, liver, kidneys, and brain were detected. The Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Bonferroni correction method and one-way analysis of variance were used for data analysis. Results:Within 24 h, the fluorescence photons per unit area of the burn wound in the group of 0.5 mg/ml, 1.5 mg/ml and 2.0 mg/ml were 1.49(1.31, 1.65), 2.46(1.88, 2.68), 2.77 (1.94, 3.10)×10 7 p·s -1·cm -2·Sr -1, with significant differences in the overall distribution of fluorescence photons ( H=73.55, P<0.001). The fluorescence intensity was stronger in the group with higher concentration, but with no significant difference in the number of fluorescence photons between the group of 1.5 mg/ml and 2.0 mg/ml ( P=0.263, Bonferroni correction method). At 14 time points (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 12, 24 h), there was no significant difference in the overall mean of fluorescence photons ( F=1.04, P=0.419), and the tissue with burn necrosis seen in tissue sections was highly consistent with the fluorescence imaging region. There was no obvious fluorescence residue in the heart, liver, kidney and brain sections. Conclusion:In superficial second-degree burn tissue, pHLIP-var7-FITC can accurately target and gather on the burn wound within 24 h, showing a clear boundary between burn tissue and normal tissue, which can assist clinical surgical debridement to determine the extent of injury.

Objective:To explore expression of Siglec-7 on monocytes in peripheral blood of patients with brucellosis and cor-relation between Siglec-7+monocytes and Th1/Th2 cells,and to analyze clinical significance of Siglec-7 molecule in patients with bru-cellosis.Methods:Fifty patients with newly diagnosed Brucella infection(BI group)and 46 healthy controls(control group)were in-cluded.Flow cytometry was used to detect expression of Siglec-7 on monocytes,and correlation between Siglec-7+monocytes and clini-cal indicators of patients with brucellosis were analyzed.Flow cytometry was used to detect Th1/Th2 cells levels,and CBA method was used to detect IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral serum.Correlation between Siglec-7+monocytes and Th1/Th2 cells,IFN-γ/IL-4 were ana-lyzed.Results:Siglec-7+monocytes level in BI group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.001);Siglec-7+mono-cytes level in patients with abnormal liver function and lung X-ray were higher than those in patients with normal liver function and lung X-ray(P<0.001,P<0.05);Compared with control group,Th2 cell and IL-4 levels were significantly increased(P<0.05),while Th1 cells and IFN-γ levels were significantly reduced(P<0.001);Th1/Th2 and IFN-γ/IL-4 were also significantly reduced(P<0.001).Siglec-7+monocyte level was negatively correlated with Th1 and IFN-γ(r=-0.651,r=-0.407),while was positively correlated with Th2 and IL-4(r=0.706,r=0.530).Conclusion:During Brucella infection,increased percentage of Siglec-7+monocytes may be involved in Th1/Th2 cell imbalance.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum C1q/tumor necrosis factor related protein 9(CTRP9)and soluble CD146(sCD146)levels and coronary artery lesions(CAL)in children with Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods A total of 116 children with KD admitted to the People's Hospital of Kaizhou District,CQ from October 2020 to February 2023 were selected as the study subjects(KD group).According to the ultrasound diagnosis results,children with KD were grouped into CAL group(n=40)and non CAL group(n=76).According to the severity of CAL,children with KD in the CAL group were separated into mild group(n=14),moderate group(n=18)and severe group(n=8).Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was applied to measure serum levels of CTRP9 and sCD146.The differences in serum levels of CTRP9 and sCD146 in control group,CAL group,non CAL,and children with different severity of CAL were compared.Multiple Logistic regression was applied to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of CAL in children with KD.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to analyze the predictive value of serum CTRP9 and sCD146 levels for the occurrence of CAL in KD children.Results Compared with the control group,the serum CTRP9 level in the KD group was decreased(3.27±0.27ng/ml vs 3.79±0.91ng/ml),while the sCD146 level was increased(191.28±50.39 ng/ml vs 143.97±38.29 ng/ml),with significant differences(t=5.900,8.051,all P＜0.05).The serum CTRP9 level in the CAL group was lower than that in the non CAL group(3.01±0.23ng/ml vs 3.41±0.29 ng/ml),but the sCD146 level was higher than that in the non CAL group(232.18±59.37 ng/ml vs 169.76±45.66 ng/ml),with significant differences(t=7.557,6.294,all P＜0.05).Compared with the mild group,the serum CTRP9 level in the moderate and severe groups was decreased(q=3.277,6.281),with sCD146 level increased(q=3.154,5.551),the serum CTRP9 level in the severe group was lower than that in the moderate group(q=3.845),with sCD146 level was higher than that in the moderate group(q=3.145),and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that white blood cell count(WBC),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),C reactive protein(CRP),CTRP9 and sCD146 were all influencing factors for the occurrence of CAL in children with KD(all P＜0.05).The results of ROC curve showed that the AUCs of CTRP9 and sCD146 separately predicted the occurrence of CAL in KD children were 0.781 and 0.782,with sensitivity of 82.5％and 67.5％,and specificity of 52.2％and 55.7％,respectively.The AUC for the combined diagnosis of CAL in children with KD was 0.889,with sensitivity and specificity of 97.5％and 65.9％,respectively.Conclusion Serum CTRP9 and sCD146 were influencing factors for the occurrence of CAL in children with KD,and the level of CTRP9 was decreased,while sCD146 was increased in the serum of children with CAL.The combination of the two can effectively predict the occurrence of CAL in children with KD.

Objective To investigate the interventional effect and mechanism of a novel ampelopsis hydrogel on dampness-heat accumulation syndrome of gouty arthritis. Methods A total of 90 patients with gouty arthritis who met the diagnostic criteria of western medicine and were differentiated as damp-heat accumulation syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) were randomly divided into treatment group, control group and blank group, with 30 patients in each group. The blank group was treated with etoricoxib only, the control group was treated with etoricoxib combined with ampelopsis hydrogel, and the treatment group was treated with etoricoxib combined with external application of ampelopsis hydrogel. The clinical efficacy, time to symptom improvement, safety, comfort, changes in syndrome scores of TCM, serum inflammatory factors[C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)], NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores for pain, and joint mobility were compared among the three groups before and after treatment. Results The total effective rates in the treatment group and control group were 93.33% and 90.00%, respectively, which were higher than 70.00% in the blank group (P < 0.05). The time for improvement of pain, redness, tenderness, and limited joint mobility in the treatment group was shorter than that in the control group and blank group (P < 0.05). After 7 days of treatment, the TCM syndrome score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group and blank group, and the levels of serum CRP, TNF-α, and ESR and the expressions of NF-κB signalingpathway-related proteins P50 and P65 in the treatment group and control group were lower than those in the blank group (P < 0.05). After 7 days of treatment, the VAS score in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group and blank group, and the comfort score in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the three groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The effect of ampelopsis hydrogel in treating gouty arthritis is better than that of ampelopsis paste, and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the NF-κB pathway and inhibition of inflammatory factor expression. The hydrogel is easy to use, hygienic, and comfortable, and is expected to become a safe, effective, and convenient external medicine for gouty arthritis.

Inducing the degradation of KRAS represents a novel strategy to combat cancers with KRAS mutation. In this study, we identify ubiquitin-specific protease 2 (USP2) as a novel deubiquitinating enzyme of KRAS in multiple myeloma (MM). Specifically, we demonstrate that gambogic acid (GA) forms a covalent bond with the cysteine 284 residue of USP2 through an allosteric pocket, inhibiting its deubiquitinating activity. Inactivation or knockdown of USP2 leads to the degradation of KRAS, resulting in the suppression of MM cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Conversely, overexpressing USP2 stabilizes KRAS and partially abrogates GA-induced apoptosis in MM cells. Furthermore, elevated USP2 levels may be associated with poorer prognoses in MM patients. These findings highlight the potential of the USP2/KRAS axis as a therapeutic target in MM, suggesting that strategically inducing KRAS degradation via USP2 inhibition could be a promising approach for treating cancers with KRAS mutations.

Objective:To investigate the effect of continuous balloon pressure monitor in children with postoperative tracheal intubation after congenital heart disease(CHD).Methods:Children admitted to the intensive care unit after CHD surgery were selected and divided into two groups using a random number table.Under the same treatment principles, the intervention group used a continuous balloon pressure monitor to manage the balloon pressure, and the control group used a manual balloon pressure meter.The clinical outcomes of two groups were compared.Results:A total of 84 children were enrolled, including 40 in intervention group and 44 in control group.There were no significant differences in age, sex, intubation depth and intubation type between two groups(all P>0.05).The rates of ventilator leakage in the intervention and control groups were 17.5% and 20.5%, respectively, and the rates of misaspiration in two groups were 0 and 6.8%, respectively, with no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).The duration of mechanical ventilation in intervention group was longer than that in control group[median ventilator time 44.0(41.7, 73.5)h vs.43.0(38.9, 60.5)h, P=0.024], but the rates of abnormal balloon pressure(10.0% vs.81.8%, P<0.001), the rate of laryngeal edema after withdrawal(2.5% vs.18.2%, P=0.031)and the rate of vocal difficulties(7.5% vs.25.0%, P=0.032)were lower than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion:Continuous balloon pressure monitoring can automatically maintain balloon pressure in the normal range, reduce complications associated with artificial airways, and have a positive effect on the maintenance of the airway in children.

Objective:To explore the consistency of MRI-based ovarian-adnexal report and data system (O-RADS) score and its diagnostic value for ovarian adnexal masses.Methods:The MRI data of 309 patients with ovarian adnexal masses confirmed by pathology were retrospectively collected from January 2017 to August 2021 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, including 327 lesions consisted of 250 benign lesions, 21 borderline lesions, and 56 malignant lesions confirmed by pathology. Borderline and malignant lesions were classified into the malignant group ( n=77) and benign lesions were classified as benign group ( n=250). Two radiologists scored all lesions according to the MRI-based O-RADS, and scored again after 6 months. The proportion of borderline/malignant lesions in each MRI-based O-RADS score was calculated. The weighted Kappa test was used to assess the intra-reader and inter-reader consistency of the image interpretation results. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of MRI-based O-RADS classification for distinguishing benign and malignant ovarian adnexal masses. Results:The weighted Kappa value of the MRI-based O-RADS score between the two radiologists was 0.810 (95%CI 0.764-0.855), and the weighted Kappa values of the two radiologists′ scores at different times were 0.848 (95%CI 0.806-0.889) and 0.875 (95%CI 0.835-0.914), respectively. The borderline/malignant lesions accounted for 0/16, 0.8% (1/127), 10.1% (10/99), 76.0% (57/75), 9/10 and 0/17, 0 (0/122), 8.0% (8/100), 76.2% (48/63), and 84.0% (21/25) of the lesions in the two radiologists based on the MRI O-RADS score of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. When adopting O-RADS score>3 as a cut-off value, the area under the ROC curve of the two radiologists for distinguishing benign and malignant ovarian adnexal masses was 0.928 (95%CI 0.895-0.954) and 0.942 (95%CI 0.911-0.965), respectively. The sensitivity was 0.857 and 0.896, the specificity was 0.924 and 0.924, and the accuracy was 0.908 and 0.917 respectively.Conclusion:The MRI-based O-RADS yields high diagnostic efficiency in the evaluation of benign and malignant ovarian adnexal masses, and the intra-reader and inter-reader consistency of the image interpretation is strong.

Objective To establish a solvent desorption inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method for determination of iodine in workplace air. Methods Iodine in workplace air was collected with alkaline activated carbon tube and desorbed with 10.0 mL pure water or 20 mmol/L sodium bicarbonate solution. Rhenium-185 was used as an internal standard for quantification. The sample was determined in standard mode and kinetic energy discrimination collision (KED) mode by ICP-MS. Results In standard mode, iodine showed a good linear range in the concentration of 9.0 to 1 100.0 μg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 3 and a detection limit of 2.7 μg/L. In KED mode, iodine showed a good linear range in the concentration of 24.3 to 800.0 μg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 1 and a detection limit of 7.3 μg/L. The average desorption efficiency using pure water ranged from 99.1% to 106.7%, with within-run relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.1% to 8.0% and between-run RSD of 4.9% to 9.3%. The average desorption efficiency using sodium bicarbonate solution ranged from 96.5% to 105.3%, with within-run RSD of 4.9% to 8.6% and between-run RSD of 2.5% to 9.9%. There were no statistical significant differences in the main effects of desorption solution, ICP-MS detection mode, their interaction on average desorption efficiency and within-run RSD (all P>0.05). Samples could be stored at room temperature for at least 7 days. Conclusion This method is highly sensitive, accurate, and suitable for the determination of iodine in workplace air. The sample pretreatment is simple and rapid.
