This study presents a bibliometric analysis of research on noninvasive nanoparticle drug delivery systems for the transocular surface from 2004 to 2023. Relevant publications were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer and CiteSpace were used to map contributions by countries/regions, authors, institutions, journals, keywords, keyword clusters, and timeline trends. A total of 695 articles were analyzed, showing a steady year-by-year increase in publications. China, the United States, and Spain were the leading contributors. Among authors, Alvarez-Lorenzo, Carmen was the most prolific, while Chanhan, Anuj's work received the most citations among the top 10 prolific researchers. The International Journal of Pharmaceutics published the highest number of articles in this field, whereas the Journal of Controlled Release was the most frequently cited among the top 10 most productive journals. The University of Santiago de Compostela and the University of Florida were among the most active institutions in this research area. Keyword analysis identified recent key themes, such as controlled release, cell interaction, dry eye, mechanisms, gene expression, and ocular drug delivery. The growing interest in transocular surface nanoparticle drugs is driven by their advantages, including increased solubility, improved stability, reduced administration frequency, sustained therapeutic concentrations, enhanced corneal penetration, and prolonged ocular surface residence time.

Positive surgical margins following radical prostatectomy significantly contribute to tumor recurrence. While systemic chemotherapy demonstrates limited efficacy in this context, local chemotherapy drug delivery systems based on nanomaterials offer promising strategies to address this issue by modifying drug release kinetics and distribution, thereby enhancing antitumor effects while minimizing the toxicities associated with systemic chemotherapy. In this study, we utilized electrospun nanofibrous mats loaded with docetaxel for sustained drug delivery.

Tobacco 21 (T21) laws (prohibiting tobacco sales under age 21) and flavor restrictions have recently been enacted, yet little is known about the extent to which these policies shifted adolescent tobacco use. To examine the associations between state-level T21 laws and flavor restrictions with adolescent tobacco use overall and by age. We linked state-level T21 laws and flavor restrictions with individual-level data on self-reported levels of cigarette, cigar, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) use among 979,477 (500,205 female/479,272 male) 14-18+-year-olds from the 2011-2021 Youth Risk Behavior Surveys.

Current influenza vaccines are not effective in conferring protection against antigenic variants and pandemics. To improve cross-protection of influenza vaccination, we developed a 5xM2e messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine encoding the tandem repeat conserved ectodomain (M2e) of ion channel protein M2 derived from human, swine, and avian influenza A viruses. The lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-encapsulated 5xM2e mRNA vaccine was immunogenic, eliciting high levels of M2e-specific IgG antibodies, IFN-γ+ T cells, T follicular helper cells, germinal center phenotypic B cells, and plasma cells.

This article examines how drug education professionals understand and respond to the relationship between alcohol and other drug consumption, sex and harm. While recent research examines how these issues are addressed in drug education curriculum, little is known about the perspectives of professionals involved in education design and delivery. Research suggests that agency is centrally important for understanding experiences of harmful, pleasurable or ambiguous sexual encounters in consumption settings.

Postoperative abdominal adhesions are the leading cause of bowel obstruction and a cause of chronic pain and infertility. Adhesion formation occurs after 50 to 90% of abdominal operations and has no proven preventative or treatment strategy. Abdominal adhesions derive primarily from the visceral peritoneum and are composed of polyclonally proliferating tissue-resident fibroblasts.
