To determine whether acute intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation alters dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) as well a selective inhibitor of Drp1, mdivi-1, can block apoptotic cell death and subsequently increase retinal ganglion (RGC) survival in ischemic mouse retina.C57BL/6 mice received injections mdivi-1 (50 mg/kg) or vehicle, then transient ischemia was induced by IOP elevation. RGC measured after FluoroGold labeling. Drp1 glial fibrillary acidic (GFAP) expression distribution were...

Abstract Background To investigate the differences in refraction, accommodative factors, visual parameters, and subjective symptoms after using two types of virtual reality (VR) content with different depths perception. Methods Twenty-three volunteers, who played VR games modes (immersive non-immersive) for 30 min, were enrolled. Visual parameters examined before VR. Accommodative factors measured static dynamic methods. Subjective assessed a questionnaire. Differences according to compared,...

Superficial was measured using optical coherence tomography angiography. Logistic regression analysis performed to look for...

Abstract We investigated the relationship between microstructure of β-parapapillary atrophy (β-PPA) and morphologic features optic nerve head (ONH) posterior pole in highly myopic eyes. Eighty-nine eyes were included this study. Bruch’s membrane opening (BMO) area, lamina cribrosa (LC) thickness, anterior laminar depth, peripapillary subfoveal choroidal thickness (CT), macular (BM) length, width β-PPA with without (PPA +BM PPA −BM ) evaluated. The mean age axial length subjects 26.88 ± 2.44...

Abstract To study the usefulness of virtual reality (VR)-based training for diagnosing strabismus. Fourteen residents in ophthalmology performed at least 30 VR sessions to diagnose esotropia and exotropia. Examinations real patients with or exotropia before after were video-recorded presented a strabismus expert assess accuracy performance scores measuring deviation angle anonymization. A feedback survey regarding ease use application was conducted participants. The mean age 14 (10 men 4...

Abstract This study explored the association between foveal avascular zone (FAZ) parameters and high myopia using optical coherence tomography angiography. We divided 106 eyes of patients into quartiles based on axial length. The upper quartile was then defined as group (n = 27), while lower non-high 26). areas minor axis lengths superficial deep FAZ, perimeters major FAZ were significantly larger in with than ( P < 0.05). Inversely, subfoveal choroidal thickness thinner those myopia....

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the association between tear film and meibomian gland parameters in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG), who underwent topical prostaglandin analog (PGA) monotherapy, medication compliance. Methods Ocular surface disease index (OSDI), Schirmer's test, break-up time (TBUT), keratoepitheliopathy (KEP) score fluorescein, were assessed 45 eyes NTG (NTG group), received PGA monotherapy for more than 1 year. results compared those 40...

Transdiaphragmatic extension of pyogenic liver abscess is the rarest cause pericarditis and pleural empyema. It a rapidly progressive highly lethal infection with mortality rates reaching 100% if left untreated. However, transmission route, treatment methods prognosis have not been well studied. A 65-year-old male patient presented fever, dyspnea, right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Computed tomography chest abdomen showed huge without full liquefaction in lobe, large amount effusion, mild...

Kesterite-based Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) are a promising candidate for low-cost, clean energy production owing to their environmental friendliness and the earth-abundant nature of constituents. However, advancement kesterite TFSCs has been impeded by abundant defects poor microstructure, limiting performance potential. In this study, we present efficient Ag-alloyed CZTSSe enabled facile metallic precursor engineering approach. The positioning Ag nanolayer in...
