With the popularization of small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE), a large number of one-piece corneal stromal lenticules are removed during surgery. As an additional product of surgery, the experimental research and clinical reuse of extracted corneal stromal lenticules from SMILE have become a research hotspot in recent years. Corneal stromal lenticules are thin and transparent, rich in sources, low in cost, and have the advantages of low immunogenicity and good tissue compatibility, so they can be used as important source of cells and corneal stroma research, and also can be used as good biomaterials for corneal reinforcement, patch graft, refractive correction, and lacrimal duct embolization in clinical study. This article reviews the clinical application of SMILE-derived lenticule in the treatment of corneal-related diseases, correction of hyperopia and presbyopia, coverage of glaucoma drainage valve to prevent their exposure, and its use in lacrimal duct plug, aiming to fully recognize the reuse of lenticules in clinical practice, expand its surgical indication, and providing new directions for the treatment of other eye diseases and its application in tissues and organs.

Pyridaben is a broad-spectrum acaricide widely used in agriculture, accidental or self-administration of large doses of pyridaben can cause multiple organ failure in patients. Due to its damage to multiple organs and no specific antidote, the mortality rate is high. This paper reports two patients who took a large amount of pyridaben, developed severe metabolic acidosis, hyperlactatemia, toxic encephalopathy, and liver, kidney, heart and digestive tract damage. After timely gastric lavage, catharsis, organ support andblood purification treatment, the condition improved and discharged. It is expected to provide clinical ideas for the treatment of pyridaben poisoning.

T cell infiltration and proliferation in tumor tissues are the main factors that significantly affect the therapeutic outcomes of cancer immunotherapy. Emerging evidence has shown that interferon-gamma (IFNγ) could enhance CXCL9 secretion from macrophages to recruit T cells, but Siglec15 expressed on TAMs can attenuate T cell proliferation. Therefore, targeted regulation of macrophage function could be a promising strategy to enhance cancer immunotherapy via concurrently promoting the infiltration and proliferation of T cells in tumor tissues. We herein developed reduction-responsive nanoparticles (NPs) made with poly (disulfide amide) (PDSA) and lipid-poly (ethylene glycol) (lipid-PEG) for systemic delivery of Siglec15 siRNA (siSiglec15) and IFNγ for enhanced cancer immunotherapy. After intravenous administration, these cargo-loaded could highly accumulate in the tumor tissues and be efficiently internalized by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). With the highly concentrated glutathione (GSH) in the cytoplasm to destroy the nanostructure, the loaded IFNγ and siSiglec15 could be rapidly released, which could respectively repolarize macrophage phenotype to enhance CXCL9 secretion for T cell infiltration and silence Siglec15 expression to promote T cell proliferation, leading to significant inhibition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth when combining with the immune checkpoint inhibitor. The strategy developed herein could be used as an effective tool to enhance cancer immunotherapy.

BACKGROUND:
Corneal disease is second only to cataract considered as the leading cause of blindness in the world, with high morbidity. Construction of corneal substitutes In Vitro by tissue engineering technology to achieve corneal regeneration has become a research hotspot in recent years. We conducted in-depth research on the biocompatibility, physicochemical and mechanical properties of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBM-MSCs)-seeded gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) as a bioengineered cornea.
METHODS:
Four kinds of GelMA with different concentrations (7, 10, 15 and 30%) were prepared, and their physicchemical, optical properties, and biocompatibility with rBM-MSCs were characterized. MTT, live/dead staining, cell morphology, immunofluorescence staining and gene expression of keratocyte markers were performed.
RESULTS:
7%GelMA hydrogel had higher equilibrium water content and porosity, better optical properties and hydrophilicity. In addition, it is more beneficial to the growth and proliferation of rBM-MSCs. However, the 30%GelMA hydrogel had the best mechanical properties, and could be more conducive to promote the differentiation of rBM-MSCs into keratocyte-like cells.
CONCLUSION
As a natural biological scaffold, GelMA hydrogel has good biocompatibility. And it has the ability to promote the differentiation of rBM-MSCs into keratocyte-like cells, which laid a theoretical and experimental foundation for further tissue-engineered corneal stromal transplantation, and provided a new idea for the source of seeded cells in corneal tissue engineering.

【Objective】 To investigate the relationship between hepatitis B virus X (HBx) protein and EGFR promoter, and the role of HBx protein in activating EGFR/PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway and inhibiting apoptosis. 【Methods】 EGFR promoter plasmids were constructed and the relationship between HBx and EGFR promoters was characterized using a luciferase reporter assay. EGFR-overexpressing trophoblast cells were constructed, and EGFR expression in the overexpressing cells was knocked down using EGFR shRNA. The expression and localization of EGFR/PI3K/p-Akt were detected by Western blotting and confocal laser microscopy. Cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. HBV plasmids carrying either full-length HBx or HBx with a deletion mutation (ΔHBx) and HBx plasmids were transfected into two types of trophoblast cells; HBx and PI3K/p-Akt protein expressions were detected by Western blotting. Cell apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. 【Results】 Co-transfection of HBx and EGFR promoter plasmids in JEG-3 and HTR-8/Svneo cells significantly elevated the expression of EGFR promoter driven luciferase compared with the control group (P<0.01). In EGFR-overexpressing cells, the expression of PI3K/p-Akt was significantly increased (P<0.01), whereas the apoptosis rate was significantly decreased for JEG-3 cells and HTR-8/Svneo cells (both P<0.01). These results were reversed in the EGFR-knock down group. When the intracellular HBx protein was expressed in JEG-3 and HTR-8 cells, PI3K/p-Akt protein expression was significantly increased (both P<0.05), and the proportion of apoptosis was significantly decreased (both P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 In placental trophoblast cells, HBx protein activates the expression of EGFR by acting on the EGFR promoter, and inhibits the apoptosis of trophoblast cells via the downstream EGFR/PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway.
