ObjectiveTo evaluate the inhibitory effect of online-sold “preservative-free” cosmetics against contaminated microorganisms during storage and use, to establish a method for assessing the preservative efficacy of such cosmetics, and to provide data support for the formulation of relevant standards. MethodsA total of 16 batches of cosmetics claiming preservative free were collected to determine their pH value, water activity, total aerobic microbial count (TAMC) and total molds and yeasts count (TYMC). Meanwhile, preservatives not listed in the Safety and Technical Standards for Cosmetics (2015 edition) (referred to as “unlisted preservatives”) were screened. In addition, a preservative challenge test was conducted on these cosmetics. ResultsAll the 16 batches of samples were generally weakly acidic, and with a water activity ≥0.6, which were suitable for microbial growth. Unlisted preservative not labeled on the package was detected in one batch of cosmetic. The results of neutralizer verification showed that three batches required further dilution to eliminate the antimicrobial interference. After inoculation with challenge microorganisms and cultivation for 7 days, two batches of cosmetics did not achieve a bacterial reduction rate of 99.90%, and the fungal reduction rate did not reach 90.00% either. While another two batches of cosmetics experienced microbial growth during testing, indicating a failure of the preservative challenge test. The overall pass rate was 75.00%. ConclusionSome online-sold preservative free cosmetics have insufficient preservation efficacy and pose a certain risk of microbial contamination.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Coptidis Rhizoma and Ophiopogonis Radix on renal tissue injury and epidermal growth factor receptor （EGFR）/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway in rats with diabetic nephropathy （DN） and explore its possible mechanism of delaying DN. MethodThirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a normal group （6 rats） and a model group （30 rats）. The model group was fed with a high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with streptozotocin （STZ） to establish a rat model of type 2 diabetes. After the successful preparation of the model， the rats were randomly divided into the model group， low， medium， and high dose groups of Coptidis Rhizoma and Ophiopogonis Radix （100， 200， 400 mg·kg^-1）， and metformin group （200 mg·kg^-1）. After administration， the levels of fasting blood glucose （FBG）， 24 h urine protein （24 h-UTP）， creatinine （SCr）， urea nitrogen （BUN）， and uric acid （UA） were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of renal tissue in rats. Western blot and Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） were used to detect the related protein expression of EGFR， PI3K， and Akt and their mRNA expression levels in the renal tissue of rats in each group. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the levels of FBG， SCr， BUN， UA， 24 h-UTP， and kidney index in the model group were significantly increased （P<0.01）， most renal tubular epithelial cells were necrotic， and the content of collagen in glomeruli was significantly increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the above indexes of rats in each administration group were improved to varying degrees. The FBG， SCr， BUN， UA， 24 h-UTP， and kidney index of rats in each dose group and metformin group were significantly decreased （P<0.01， P<0.05）. The necrosis degree of renal tubular epithelial cells was reduced， and the fibrosis area was decreased （P<0.01）. There related protein and mRNA expressions of EGFR， PI3K， and Akt were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionCoptidis Rhizoma and Ophiopogonis Radix can alleviate renal tissue injury in rats with DN， and their mechanism may be related to the regulation of the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the treatment of different types of chorioretinal coloboma with retinal detachment (RD).Methods:A single-center, retrospective clinical study. From April 2021 to March 2023, 24 eyes of 23 patients who were diagnosed as chorioretinal coloboma with RD in Henan Provincial Eye Hospital were included in this study. There were 11 males with 12 eyes and 12 females with 12 eyes. The mean age was (33.3±13.7) years old. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spectral domain optical coherence tomography were performed. The BCVA examination was performed using a international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted into logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. According to the types of chorioretinal coloboma, the affected eyes were divided into the coloboma involved the optic disc group and the coloboma not involved the optic disc group, with 15 eyes and 9 eyes. According to whether the RD containing the coloboma area, the affected eyes were divided into RD containing the coloboma area group and the RD not containing the coloboma area group, with 15 eyes and 9 eyes. All eyes underwent standard pars plana three-channel 25G PPV, retinal laser photocoagulation combined with silicone oil tamponade. The follow-up time after surgery was (19.5±16.3) months. The last follow-up was the time point for efficacy determination. The retinal reattachment, BCVA recovery and postoperative complications were observed. Paired t-test or t test was performed for comparison of quantitative data. Fisher's exact test was performed for comparison of qualitative data. Results:At the last follow-up, retinal reattachment was achieved in 20 eyes (83.3%, 20/24). The logMAR BCVA of the coloboma involved the optic disc group before and after surgery were 1.85±0.62 and 1.71±0.71, the difference was no significant ( t=0.845 , P=0.412). The logMAR BCVA of the coloboma not involved the optic disc group before and after surgery were 1.75±0.45 and 0.84±0.26, the difference was statistically significant ( t=6.153 , P<0.001). The improvement of BCVA in the coloboma not involved the optic disc group was significantly higher than that in the coloboma involved the optic disc group after surgery, with statistically significant differences ( t=3.024 , P=0.006). There was no significant difference in the retinal reattachment rate between the two groups ( P=0.615). There was no significant difference in the retinal reattachment rate between the RD containing the coloboma area group and the RD not containing the coloboma area group ( P=0.259). Postoperative complications included elevated intraocular pressure in five eyes, cataract progression in ten eyes, recurrent RD in two eyes, bullous keratopathy in one eye and band-shaped keratopathy in one eye. Conclusion:PPV combined with silicone oil tamponade is safe and effective in the treatment of chorioretinal coloboma with RD, the improvement of visual acuity in the coloboma not involved the optic disc group is better than that in the coloboma involved the optic disc group after surgery.

Objective To investigate the microbial contamination in 54 batches of commercial honey. Methods Aerobic plate colony counts for bacteria and colonies of mould and osmophilic yeasts in honey were determined according to the National Food Safety Standard. The bacteria and fungi in unqualified samples were further identified and analyzed by morphology， MALDI-TOF-MS and large subunit （LSU） rRNA gene sequence. Results Three unqualified batches were found. One batch had aerobic plate colony counts exceeding the standard， with a variety of bacteria including Bacillus sp.， Paenibacillus sp. and Brevibacillus sp. Two batches had mould counts exceeding the standard. Aspergillus sp was detected in both samples （from the same manufacturer）， and the DNA sequence homology was very high， suggesting the mould might come from the same pollution source. Conclusion There are many kinds of microbial contamination in honey. Manufacturers should strengthen the microbe control in monitoring process to avoid the repeated microbial contamination.
