Effect of Low-dose Atropine on Binocular Vision and Accommodation in Children Aged 6 to 17 Years.

Significance: Low-dose atropine is one of the leading treatments of myopia progression in children. However, the effect of low-dose atropine on binocular vision measurements has not been thoroughly studied.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effect of 0.

Effect of serum and oxygen concentration on gene expression and secretion of paracrine factors by mesenchymal stem cells.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) secrete paracrine factors that may exert a protective effect on the heart after coronary artery occlusion. This study was done to determine the effect of hypoxia and serum levels on the mRNA expression and secretion of paracrine factors. Mouse bone marrow MSC were cultured with 5% or 20% serum and in either normoxic (21% O2) or hypoxic (1% O2) conditions.

Motion-induced interruptions and postural equilibrium in linear lateral accelerations.

This study assesses lateral tipping motion-induced interruptions (MIIs) in a simulated motion environment. The objective is to revisit MII occurrence and sway motion relationship by focusing on the frequency and acceleration of the lateral motion stimulus. Results verify that MIIs increase with increasing peak sway acceleration, but the effect of sway frequency is not as clear as that of acceleration.
