The treatment of fungal keratitis(FK) remains challenging due to delayed detection and the limited effectiveness antifungal drugs. Fungal infection can activate both innate adaptive immune responses in cornea. Fungi stimulate production oxidative stress-related biomarkers mediate infiltration neutrophils, macrophages, T cells. These cells induce cytokines, chemokines, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), leading corneal tissue damage even perforation. signaling pathway regulates expression inflammatory cytokines keratitis. Immune is main mechanism FK, stress also involved this process. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) a member nuclear hormone superfamily, with different subtypes PPAR a, β/δ, PPARγ. PPARs play important roles antioxidant response, anti-inflammatory, lipid metabolism, neuroprotection, regulation processes. γ promote macrophage polarization reduce by regulating ROS production. has made some progress eye diseases: PPARa agonists inhibit diabetes keratopathy neuropathy. early immature angiogenesis alkali burns have potential therapeutic effects on angiogenesis. control progression dry disease improve condition meibomian gland dysfunction. Based this, we explored FK.

Fungi can be used as bioindicators to assess the biodiversity and conservation status of different habitats because their high adaptability sensitivity changes in water, air, soil quality. In this study, records macrofungi lichenised fungi were extracted from GBIF, surveyed using GIS software, compare fungal diversity Pyrenean oak chestnut groves Castilla y León, analysing possible implications presence for these forest habitats. Quercus pyrenaica forests, a greater number lichen species recorded than Castanea sativa although area occupied by former could have influenced diversity. The higher ectomycorrhizal macrofungal groves, well pollution lichens oak-dominated environments, showed relevance analysis data better understanding However, order obtain more accurate results, it would necessary carry out specific studies on smaller scale.
