Our previous study identified five new heat shock factor 4 (HSF4) mutations in 150 age-related cataract (ARC) patients which indicated that HSF4 mutations may be associated with this disease. Hypoxia-inducible factor (Hif1α) is an important downstream target of HSF4b. It has been found that Hif1α
OBJECTIVE
Hypoxia and carbon dioxide rebreathing are potential problems during eye surgery in spontaneously breathing patients. The aim of the present study was to determine effectiveness of nasal application of oxygen to prevent hypoxia and carbon dioxide accumulation in spontaneously breathing
BACKGROUND
Posterior Capsular Opacification (PCO) is one of the most common complications of cataract surgery which can result in severe visual damage. Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) of lens epithelium cells (LEC) is the pathological basis of PCO. Recent research showed that hypoxia acted
Quercetin is a dietary bioflavonoid which has been shown to inhibit lens opacification in a number of models of cataract. The objectives of this study were to determine gene expression changes in human lens epithelial cells in response to quercetin and to investigate in detail the mechanisms
OBJECTIVE
To establish a reliable neonatal rat model of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) which is expected to be similar to PVL of human preterm infants pathologically, and to explore the concomitant eye lesions in the PVL model.
METHODS
Two-old-day neonatal rats were randomly divided into a PVL
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of fentanyl on the cardiorespiratory system in elderly patients undergoing cataract surgery with phacoemulsification method.
METHODS
Randomized, prospective, double-blind study.
METHODS
University hospital.
METHODS
70 ASA physical status I, II, and III patients (>60
OBJECTIVE
Clonidine has been used in anesthesia for its sedative and analgesic properties, and to achieve greater hemodynamic stability with reduction in intra-ocular pressure. This study evaluated the clinical effects of intravenous clonidine (2.5 microg.kg(-1)) on the intra-ocular pressure (IOP),
Protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms have been identified as major cellular signaling proteins that act directly in response to oxidation conditions. In retina and lens two isoforms of PKC respond to changes in oxidative stress, PKCgamma and PKCepsilon, while only PKCepsilon is found in heart. In heart
Iris vasculopathy is a well-recognized clinical feature in pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES). In the present study we examined the morphology of the iris vasculature in PES using electron microscopy and we tested whether these iris vascular changes were correlated with an impaired oxygen supply to
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the main complication following cataract surgery. The proliferation of the residual lens epithelial cells (LECs) serves an important role in PCO formation. The authors' previous study revealed that vitamin C inhibited the proliferation of human LECs by
OBJECTIVE
The lens grows continuously throughout life, but the factors that influence the size of the adult lens are not known. Lens thickness is a significant risk factor for age-related cataract. It has been postulated that the hypoxic environment in the eye protects the lens from nuclear
Recent reports suggest that the aphakic eye develops less corneal edema than the phakic eye during hydrogel contact lens wear. Measurements were made of several ocular characteristics that might account for this difference in nine unilateral aphakic subjects. The measurements showed that compared
