Aim: To report the surgical technique and efficacy of the tiled transplantation internal limiting membrane (ILM) pedicle flap technique after vitrectomy for 33 patients with large macular hole (MH).
Methods: This study was a prospective noncontrolled interventional study. All patients were treated by vitrectomy, the tiled transplantation ILM pedicle flap and gas tamponade.

Purpose: Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CX3CR1 gene, T280M and V249I, have been reported to affect the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in several studies. The aim of the present study was to combine all published data on the relationship between these two variants and AMD susceptibility in a meta-analysis to clarify this association.
Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science were searched for all eligible studies on the relationship between AMD and T280M and V249I variants.
Objectives: In this study, we employed a rat model and examined the expression pattern of neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) in optic nerve and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in response to optic nerve injury to understand the role of NRG-1 in conferring protection against acute optic nerve injury.
Method: Forty-eight male rats were randomly divided into two groups, the sham-operation group (n=24) and optic nerve injury group (n=24). Flash visual evoked potentials (FVEP) and fundography images were acquired at different time points following optic nerve injury (2h, 1d, 2d, 7d, 14d and 28d).
Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between G1961E and D2177N variants in the ABCA4 gene with AMD susceptibility.
Design And Methods: All eligible studies published up to October 2014 were obtained from MEDLINE, EMBASE, and ISI Web of Science. The pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) was calculated to evaluate the strength of this association.
Aim: To describe clinical findings and complications from cases of traumatic lens subluxation/dislocation in patients with secondary glaucoma, and discuss the multiple treating methods of operation combined with primary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: Non-comparative retrospective observational case series.
Participants: 30 cases (30 eyes) of lens subluxation/dislocation in patients with secondary glaucoma were investigated which accepted the surgical treatment by author in the Ophthalmology of Xi'an No.
Objective: To investigate the regulatory effects of ninjurin-1 on adhesion of myeloid cells in the retina at the early stage of diabetic rats.
Methods: Experimental study. The rat diabetic model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin.
Aim: To explore the effect of alloxan time administerDrug on establishing diabetic rabbit model.
Methods: Thirty-six healthy rabbits, weighed 2-2.5kg, were randomly divided into one time administerDrug group (Group A, n=12), two times administerDrug group (Group B, n=12) and three times administerDrug group(Group C, n=12).
