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.

Objective :
To explore the role and mechanism of 25-hydroxycholesterol (25-HC) in inflammatory bow- el disease (IBD) in mice.
Methods :
All mice were divided into three groups : the control group was fed normally ; the DSS model group was fed with 2. 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution ; the DSS + 25-HC experimental group was fed with 2. 5% DSS solution and he mice in the experimental group were intraperitoneally injected with 25-HC.The symptom changes of the mice were evaluated by assessing the disease activity index(DAI) ,and the tis- sue changes were judged by histological scoring.The expression of interleukin-17 and its signaling pathways in the mice were detected by Western blot,qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry /fluorescence,and flow cytometry.Combined with the detection of tight junction proteins in the intestinal epithelium of the mice,the mechanism by which 25-HC affects IBD in mice was explored.
Results :
In comparison to the DSS control group,The DSS + 25-HC experimen- tal group mice exhibited a reduction in body weight ( F = 30. 1,P <0. 000 1) ,a shortened colon ( F = 63. 8,P < 0. 05) ,and elevated DAI(F = 774. 5,P<0. 000 1) and histopathological scores(F = 141. 5,P<0. 05) .Addition- ally,the expression of tight junction-associated proteins(ZO-2,Occludin,JAM and Claudin-4) was found to be sig- nificantly reduced.The level of IL-17 significantly decreased,and its expression level was positively correlated with tight junction proteins.
Conclusion
25-HC inhibited IL-17 production by colonic γδ T cells through the RORγt pathway,aggravated mucosal injury,and promoted the development of DSS-induced acute colitis in mice.

Objective:To explore the effects of anlotinib on the proliferation, apoptosis, and migration of thyroid cancer cells, and investigate its role in inducing redifferentiation and enhancing iodine uptake capacity, providing a preliminary evaluation of its efficacy in tumor treatment.Methods:(1)The cell proliferation was detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and different concentrations (0, 1/4 half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC 50), 1/2IC 50, IC 50) of anlotinib were used to treat CAL62 and FTC133 thyroid cancer cells for 24h. The clonogenic formation experiment, cellular activity and drug toxicity staining, scratch healing assay, and apoptosis in situ fluorescence staining were employed to assess cell clonogenicity, apoptosis, and migration abilities. (2) CAL62 and FTC133 cells were treated with various concentrations of anlotinib, and changes in the expression levels of iodine metabolism-related proteins (sodium/iodide symporter (NIS), thyroid peroxidase (TPO), and thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR)) were detected using Western blot. (3) Iodine uptake experiments were conducted to observe changes in the iodine uptake functionality of thyroid cancer cells following treatment with different concentrations of anlotinib for 24 h. (4) The thyroid cancer xenograft nude mouse models were established and divided into control group (physiological saline), low-dose group (1mg/kg), medium-dose group (2mg/kg), and high-dose group (4mg/kg). Mice were treated with varying doses of the drug, the therapeutic effects and the changes in iodine harvesting function on tumors were evaluated. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison among groups. Results:Anlotinib treatment resulted in significantly reduced cell viability, decreased clonogenic formation, increased apoptosis rates, and reduced scratch healing rates in CAL62 and FTC133 cells ( F values: 53.75-211.90, all P<0.001). After anlotinib treatment, the levels of iodine metabolism-related proteins (NIS, TPO and TSHR) significantly increased ( F values: 21.14-710.00, all P<0.001), and iodine uptake rates in thyroid cancer cells also increased significantly ( F values: 36.45, 32.34, both P<0.001). The nude mouse treatment experiment showed tumor growth in the anlotinib treatment group was inhibited, and tumors iodine uptake rates were increased, both were statistically significant ( F values: 74.09, 38.22, both P<0.001). Conclusions:Anlotinib can inhibit thyroid cancer proliferation and growth, promote apoptosis, reduce cell migration capabilities, induce thyroid cancer cells redifferentiation, and enhance iodine uptake capacity. Anlotinib can induce the redifferentiation of thyroid cancer at the animal level and has better efficacy.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 177Lu-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-I&T combined with poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor (PARPi) fluzoparib on the proliferation and migration of prostate cancer cells and the tumor inhibitory effects. Methods:177Lu-PSMA-I&T was synthesized. Cytotoxicity assay, colony formation assay, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) cell proliferation assay, Transwell cell migration assay, and terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, flow cytometry were performed to detect apoptosis and cell cycles. 22RV1 tumor-bearing mice models ( n=16) were established, and were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (no treatment; n=4), fluzoparib monotherapy group (6mg/kg; n=4), 177Lu-PSMA-I&T monotherapy group (14.8MBq; n=4) and combination group (14.8MBq 177Lu-PSMA-I&T+ 6mg/kg fluzoparib; n=4). All mice were treated for 14 d. Tumor volume and body mass changes of tumor-bearing mice were observed and recorded. After the treatment, 18F-FDG PET/CT was performed to evaluate the tumor′s uptake of 18F-FDG. Effects of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T combined with fluzoparib on cell and tumor-bearing mice were observed. One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference t test were used to analyze the data. Results:At half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC 50) of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T (13.06MBq/ml) and fluzoparib (72.13μmol/L), compared to the fluzoparib monotherapy group and the 177Lu-PSMA-I&T monotherapy group, the combination treatment significantly enhanced the anti-tumor effect on 22RV1 cells, inhibited the DNA synthesis rate and colony-forming ability of 22RV1 cells, reduced cell migration rate, increased the percentage of DNA damage, resulted in a higher proportion of cells arrested in the G2/M phase and increased the apoptosis rate ( F values: 9.77-162.20, t values: 2.98-21.60, all P<0.05). Compared to the fluzoparib monotherapy group and the 177Lu-PSMA-I&T monotherapy group, the combination treatment resulted in a significant reduction in relative tumor volume (RTV%) 14 d post-administration and markedly decreased 18F-FDG uptake ( F values: 25.28 and 67.42, t values: 4.64-8.61, P values: 0.001-0.009). Conclusion:The combination of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T and fluzoparib can inhibit prostate cancer cell proliferation and migration, suppress tumor growth and metabolism, and demonstrates synergistic effects more effectively.
