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...
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a developmental disease that can cause visual impairment and retinal detachment at young age. Four genes involved in the Wnt signaling pathway were previously linked to this disease: NDP, FDZ4, LRP5, TSPAN12. Identification of novel disease-causing alleles allows for deeper understanding disease, better molecular diagnosis, improved treatment.Sequencing libraries from 92 FEVR patients generated using custom capture panel enrich 163 known humans....
Abstract Background There is a paucity of data on the prevalence food allergy (FA) in Vietnam. A cross‐sectional, population‐based study was conducted to evaluate current FA among 2‐ 6‐year‐old children two different regions Method structured, anonymous questionnaire, modified from published epidemiologic studies and based EAACI guidelines, distributed parents/guardians participating Hue City (urban area) Tien Giang Province (rural area). Data collected survey were statistically analyzed...
Abstract Ion transport across biological lipid membranes is crucial for both health and disease, prompting investigation into synthetic ion transporters as potential therapeutics. However, state of the art methods assessing transporter activity are often time‐consuming resource‐intensive, hindering screening large compound libraries. In this work we have developed an automated high‐throughput assay capable determining 24 E C 50 values in a single day. This assay, adapted from established...
Purpose.: To investigate how OPA1 expression and distribution are altered by increased nitric oxide (NO) whether aminoguanidine, a relative selective NO synthase (NOS)-2 inhibitor, can restore subsequently increase retinal ganglion cell (RGC) survival in ocular hypertensive rats. Methods.: Elevated intraocular pressure was induced unilaterally translimbal laser photocoagulation of the trabecular meshwork Sprague-Dawley Aminoguanidine (100 mg/kg) administered intraperitoneal injection for 3...
Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether variations in LIPC, CETP, ABCA1 and LPL, which are involved high-density lipoprotein (HDL) metabolism, associated with advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) the Chinese population.Design Methods: A total of 119 patients AMD 99 control individuals were recruited. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes. Genotypes seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including rs1061170 rs1410996 CFH, rs10490924 HTRA1,...

Among the refugees of war in Ukraine, there is an above-average number academics, who should be able to continue their university studies abroad. Here, digital media can lower access barriers, but lack knowledge language or education system host country hampers participation. In addition, needs vary from person person, which makes counseling processes complex. This article presents a cross- institutional recommendation that proposes personalized recommendations for suitable learning paths...
The USA seeks to eliminate health disparities by stimulating the rapid uptake of health-promoting behaviors within disadvantaged communities. A journalism internship incorporates social marketing strategies increase communities' access cancer information, while helping interns who are recruited from underrepresented communities gain admission top graduate schools. Interns taught basic skills that enable them create immediate streams cancer-related press releases for submission community...
