A new animal model of cardiorenal syndrome could be established by inducing heart failure through coronary artery ligation in spontaneously hypertensive rats.

In rats with unilateral nephrectomy and cardiac dysfunction, renal function deteriorates at an accelerated rate, as evidenced by increased proteinuria. Whether myocardial infarct-induced heart failure (HF) exacerbates renal injury in hypertensive rats with mild renal injury has not been reported. Rats underwent either coronary ligation or sham surgery.

A New Distance Stereotest by Autostereoscopic Display Using an Eye-Tracking Method.

This research aimed to present a novel glasses-free distance random-dot stereotest system (GFDRDSS) using an eye-tracking method. A single-view autostereoscopic display applying a backlight control system combined with an eye-tracking method and the corresponding random-dot stereotest software were developed to create a GFDRDSS with a viewing distance of 5 m. The stereoacuity of 12 subjects with normal eye position was evaluated using the Randot Stereotest, Stereoscopic Test Charts vol.

[Effect of repeated horizontal acceleration exposure on cardiac structure in New Zealand rabbits].

To observe the effects of repeated horizontal -Gx acceleration exposure on cardiac structure in New Zealand rabbits. Twenty New Zealand rabbits were divided into 2 groups (=10): control group and -Gx acceleration exposure group. The rabbits in -Gx acceleration exposure group were exposed to -3.

Preliminary clinical analysis of neovascular glaucoma secondary to carotid artery disease.

Background: Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is a rare but severe complication of hypoperfusion retinopathy. Our objective was to analyse the clinical features of NVG secondary to carotid artery atherosclerosis, moyamoya disease and Takayasu arteritis.

Methods: Thirty-six cases (36 eyes) with hypoperfusion retinopathy associated with NVG were retrospectively analysed.

[Clinical features of hypoperfusion retinopathy induced neovascular glaucoma].

Objective: To analyze the clinical features of hypoperfusion retinopathy induced neovascular glaucoma

Methods: This retrospective case series included 18 cases (18 eyes) with hypoperfusion retinopathy induced neovascular glaucoma Among them, there were 15 male and 3 female; 10 right eye and 5 left eye. The average age was 40-year-old (ranged from 18- to 78-year-old). Visual acuity and fundus were examined using fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), Color Doppler Flow Imaging (CDFI), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), and Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) etc in all patients.
