Article Abstract
Air pollution presents a severe risk to public health, with particulate matter (PM) identified as a significant hazardous element. However, despite the eye organ being constantly exposed to air pollution, only recently has the impact of PM on ocular health caught the attention of researchers and healthcare professionals. By compiling pertinent data, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of the underlying pathological mechanisms of PM-mediated ocular disorders and facilitate the development of effective treatment strategies. Recent data support the association between exposure to PM and the development of ocular pathologies such as dry eye syndrome, retinal atherosclerosis, and glaucoma. Based on the results of multiple studies, PM exposure can lead to oxidative stress, inflammation, autophagy, cell death, and, ultimately, the development of ophthalmic diseases. This review aims to consolidate the latest findings on PM-mediated ocular diseases by summarizing the outcomes from epidemiological, in vitro, and in vivo studies on ocular surface and retinal disorders as well as other relevant ophthalmic disorders.

Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a significant cause of developmental disorders and permanent central nervous system damage, with functional recovery closely linked to myelin sheath integrity. This study aimed to analyze the expression of pH and the voltage-gated proton channel (Hv1) in the brains of neonatal pigs with HIE at various time points, alongside changes in myelin-related proteins. MRI was employed to localize the basal ganglia and assess pH changes post-hypoxia-ischemia, while immunofluorescence staining was used to evaluate Hv1, myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG).

Hepatocyte apoptosis is a key feature of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but the fate of apoptotic hepatocytes in MASH is poorly understood. Here, we explore the hypotheses that clearance of dead hepatocytes by liver macrophages (efferocytosis) is impaired in MASH because of low expression of the efferocytosis receptor T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing 4 (TIM4; gene ) by MASH liver macrophages, which then drives liver fibrosis in MASH. We show that apoptotic hepatocytes accumulate in human and experimental MASH, using mice fed the fructose-palmitate-cholesterol (FPC) diet or the high-fat, choline-deficient amino acid-defined (HF-CDAA) diet.

Thyroid eye disease (TED) is a prevalent autoimmune orbital disorder that can severely impair visual function and significantly diminish patients' quality of life. In recent years, several studies have attempted to automate TED diagnosis using optical coherence tomography (OCT) images. However, existing approaches primarily rely on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) combined with attention mechanisms and are mostly trained using traditional cross-entropy loss.

Microscopic examination of biopsy tissues remains essential for cancer diagnosis, despite advancements in sequencing technologies. Alterations in nuclear size or the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio are hallmark features of cancer cells and often correlate with disease progression. However, the mechanisms underlying nuclear size abnormalities and their impact on tumor progression remain unclear.
