Microaneurysms are biomarkers of microvascular injury in diabetic retinopathy (DR). Impaired retinal capillary perfusion is a critical pathogenic mechanism the development abnormalities. Targeting fundamental molecular disturbances resulting from nonperfusion, such as increased vascular endothelial growth factor expression, does not always reverse anatomic complications DR, suggesting that other mechanisms independent also play role. We stratify effects inflammation, and pericyte loss on...

Robust detection of hemorrhages (HMs) in color fundus image is important an automatic diabetic retinopathy grading system. Detection the that are close to or connected with retinal blood vessels was found be challenge. However, most methods didn't put research on it, even some them mentioned this issue. In paper, we proposed a novel hemorrhage method based rule-based and machine learning methods. We focused improvement vessels, besides detecting independent regions. A preliminary test for HM...

Purpose: To investigate differences in alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression and parafoveal blood flow pathways diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: Human donor eyes from healthy subjects (n = 8), patients with diabetes but no DR (DR–; n 7), clinical (DR+; 13) were perfusion labeled antibodies targeting αSMA, lectin, collagen IV, filamentous actin. High-resolution confocal scanning laser microscopy was used to quantify αSMA staining capillary density the circulation. Quantitative...

Oxidative stress increases the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and impairs cell renewal, which further promotes barrier dysfunction even death. Extensive evidence supports that resveratrol apigenin have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative properties. Here, we investigated ability these two compounds to alleviate diquat-induced jejunal oxidative morphological injury, using duck as a model, well effects on induced by H2O2 in immortalized (IDECs). Ducks were randomly...

Abstract An adequate blood supply to meet the energy demands is essential for any tissue, particularly high demand tissues such as retina. A critical question is: How dynamic match between neuronal and achieved? We present a quantitative assessment of temporal spatial variations in perfusion macular capillary network 10 healthy human subjects using non-invasive label-free imaging technique. The based on calculation coefficient variation (CoV) signal from arterioles, venules capillaries...

We employ optical coherence tomography (OCT) and microscopy (OCM) to study conjunctival lymphatics in porcine eyes ex vivo. This is a precursor the development of vivo imaging collecting for potentially guiding monitoring glaucoma filtration surgery. OCT scans at 1300 nm higher‐resolution OCM 785 reveal lymphatic vessels via their transparency. Equivalent signal characteristics are also observed from blood largely free (and devoid flow) conjunctiva. In our lymphangiography, vessel networks...
