    Abstract Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae (RDN) is a traditional Chinese medicine that widely applied in the treatment of human diseases. This study aims to explore the therapeutic potential of RDN in asthma and the underlying mechanisms. A mouse model of asthma was established by the stimulation of ovalbumin (OVA). HE staining was performed to detect the pathological injuries of tracheal tissues. The protein expression of collagen I, FN1, α-SMA (airway remodeling markers), and p-p38 (a marker of the p38 MAPK pathway) were detected by Western blot. Eosinophils were then isolated from the model mice. Cell viability and ROS level were measured by CCK-8 and Flow cytometry, respectively. The mRNA expression of GPX4 and ACSL4 (ferroptosis markers) in eosinophils were measured by qRT-PCR. RDN significantly reduced the numbers of total cells and eosnophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration, and down-regulated remodeling markers (Collagen I, FN1, and α-SMA) in OVA-induced mice. The p38 MAPK pathway was blocked by the intervention of RDN in the model mice, and its blocking weakens the poor manifestations of OVA-induced asthma. In addition, RDN induced the ferroptosis of eosnophils both in vitro and in vivo. Blocking of the p38 MAPK pathway also enhanced the ferroptosis of eosnophils in vitro, evidenced by the decreased cell viability and GPX4 expression, and increased ROS level and ACSL4 expression. RDN induced the ferroptosis of eosinophils through inhibiting the p38 MAPK pathway, contributing to the remission of asthma.

    Abstract Introduction: Ocular immune-related adverse events (OirAEs) associated with novel cancer therapies of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are emerging. Retrobulbar optic neuritis (ON) combined with optic perineuritis (OPN), associated with atezolizumab, has been rarely reported and has a unique clinical manifestation.
    Case description: A 67-year-old woman was diagnosed with small-cell lung cancer. As maintenance therapy, atezolizumab was administered continuously for 10 cycles for approximately 14 months. One week after the administration of the tenth dose of atezolizumab, the patient experienced a bilateral, successive painless visual decline. The fundus and the retinal nerve fiber layer revealed no abnormalities, but the ganglion cell of the macula disappeared loss. The concentric shrinking of the peripheral visual field of the left eye was noticed. Orbital MRI revealed bilateral optic nerve thickening and peripheral optic nerve sheath enhancement ("tram-track" and "doughnut" signs). Serology, cerebrospinal fluid results, and image examination ruled out common causes of vision decline, and the condition was identified as bilateral retrobulbar ON combined with OPN as a probable atezolizumab-related immune adverse event. Thereafter, atezolizumab was discontinued, and intravenous methylprednisolone pulse (IVMP) (160 mg/day for 5 days) plus intravenous immunoglobulin (20 g/day for 3 days) was administered. The patient's visual function considerably improved after three weeks.
    Conclusions: Retrobulbar ON and OPN associated with atezolizumab are rare side effects that are easily overlooked. Immune-related ON has unique features and requires early identification. The primary treatment for optic nerve irAEs is corticosteroids, but this is not standardized and should be used with caution.

    Abstract Potentially fatal fungal sphenoid sinusitis (FSS) causes visual damage. However, few studies have reported on its visual impairment and prognosis. Five hundred and eleven FSS patients with ocular complications treated at Beijing Tongren Hospital were recruited and clinical features and visual outcomes were determined. Thirty-two of the 511 patients (6%) had visual impairment, with 13 and 19 patients having invasive and noninvasive FSS, respectively. Eighteen patients (56.25%) had diabetes and 2 patient (6.25%) had long-term systemic use of antibiotics (n = 1) and corticosteroids (n = 1). All patients had visual impairment, which was more severe in invasive FSS than in noninvasive FSS. Bony wall defects and sclerosis were observed in 19 patients (59.38%), and 11 patients (34.38%) had microcalcification in their sphenoid sinusitis on computed tomography (CT). After a 5-year follow-up, three patients (9.38%) died. Patients with noninvasive FSS had a higher improvement rate in visual acuity than their counterparts. In the multivariate analysis, sphenoid sinus wall sclerosis on CT was associated with better visual prognosis. FSS can cause vision loss with persistent headaches, particularly in those with diabetes. CT showed the sphenoid sinus wall sclerosis, indicating a better visual prognosis in FSS with visual impairment.

    Abstract Wilson disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism. The clinical manifestations of WD are complex and variable, with Kayser-Fleischer ring (K-F ring) and the sunflower cataract being the most common ocular findings. Visual impairment is rare in patients with WD. We report the case of a 17-year-old female with bilateral optic atrophy associated with WD and summarize the clinical features of previously reported cases of optic neuropathy in WD, Clinicians should be aware that WD is a rare cause of optic neuropathy and that optic neuropathy in patients with WD may need to be recognized and screened.

    Case summary: We report two female patients who underwent computed tomography-guided percutaneous needle pulmonary biopsy of a lung nodule for a confirmed diagnosis. In both patients, the CrAg test on the lung biopsy tissue homogenate was positive, while the serum CrAg test was negative. Combined with the lung tissue pathology, we made the diagnosis of PC. Antifungal therapy was effective in both patients.
    Conclusion: Given the findings of our cases and the literature review, lung tissue homogenate CrAg testing can be helpful in improving the diagnosis of PC.

    Abstract Background: Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation that is more common in the left lower lobe, and the thoracic aorta is the most common arterial supply.
    Case presentation: We describe a case of a 67-year-old man with a chief complaint of intermittent cough and hemoptysis who had been diagnosed by multidetector computed tomography angiography with right middle lobe intralobular pulmonary sequestration supplied by a right internal mammary artery. Finally, he underwent middle pulmonary lobectomy with normal postoperative recovery.
    Discussion: This is a rare intralobular pulmonary sequestration case for a feeding artery from the right internal mammary. Multidetector computed tomography angiography should be performed for diagnosis and preoperative evaluation once pulmonary sequestration is suspected.

    Abstract Oncocytic carcinoma is a malignant tumor characterized by a proliferation of epithelial cells with abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm. In this article, we report on the first case of a 61-year-old male patient presenting with oncocytic carcinoma involving the cranio-orbital area. An oncocytic carcinoma in the patient, who reported a sudden decrease in vision in his right eye, was removed through a frontal orbital approach craniotomy. The patient's postoperative development was rapid, and he was admitted to the neurosurgery department for a combined operation after ophthalmological screening. Pathological analysis revealed the tumour cells were large, round or polygonal, and the cytoplasm was finely granular and appeared to be more pleomorphic than the eosinophilic adenoma. Oncocytic carcinoma in the cranio-orbital area is extremely rare. The most effective treatment is early resection to be performed jointly by ophthalmology and neurosurgery, and long-term follow-up and adjuvant chemoradiotherapy are beneficial.

    Abstract Background: In this study, network pharmacological methods were used to analyze the targets of Rhizoma Dioscoreae Nipponicae (RDN) and investigate the potential underlying mechanism of RDN in the treatment of asthma.
    Methods: Asthma-related targets were obtained from the GeneCards and DisGeNET databases. The bioactive components of RDN were obtained from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform database, and the targets of these compounds were predicted using the BATMAN-TCM database. The network of RDN component targets was constructed using Cytoscape. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed in Cytoscape to determine the potential targets of RDN for the treatment of asthma. The hub genes of RDN in the treatment of asthma were screened using network topological parameters. Gene ontology (GO) and the KEGG pathways were analyzed. Molecular docking and in vivo experiments were performed to validate the network pharmacology results.
    Results: A total of four bioactive components and 55 targets were identified. The results of the enrichment analysis suggested that the treatment of asthma with RDN involved signaling pathways, such as those related to systemic lupus erythematosus, alcoholism, viral carcinogenesis, the cell cycle, prostate cancer, transcriptional misregulation in cancer, hepatitis B, thyroid hormone signaling, and PI3K-AKT signaling, as well as other signaling pathways. Molecular docking showed that the active components of RDN could stably bind to the predicted target. In vivo experiments showed that RDN could regulate the expression of target genes and inhibit the activation of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.
    Conclusion: To a certain extent, this study reveals the potential bioactive components and molecular mechanisms of RDN in the treatment of asthma and provides new insights for the development of new drugs for asthma.

    Abstract Purpose: Dioscorea nipponica Makino (DNM) is a traditional herb with multiple medicinal functions. This study is aimed at exploring the therapeutic effects of DNM on asthma and the underlying mechanisms involving RKIP-mediated MAPK signaling pathway.
    Methods: An ovalbumin-induced asthma model was established in mice, which was further administrated with DNM and/or locostatin (RKIP inhibitor). ELISA was performed to detect the serum titers of OVA-IgE and OVA-IgG1, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of inflammation-related biomarkers, and tissue levels of oxidative stress-related biomarkers. The expression of RKIP was measured by quantitative real-time PCR, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence. HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of lung tissues. The protein expression of MAPK pathway-related proteins was detected by Western blot.
    Results: Compared with the controls, the model mice exhibited significantly higher serum titers of OVA-IgE and OVA-IgG1, BALF levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-13, TGF-
    Conclusion: DNM relieves asthma via blocking the Raf-1/MEK/MAPK/ERK pathway that mediated by RKIP upregulation.
