Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) gene family in orchids, which is important for plant growth and coping with abiotic stress, particularly in species that use the Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) pathway.
- A total of 33 PEPC genes were identified across 15 different orchid species and categorized into four subgroups, with notable findings including a new unreported gene in the PEPC-iv category.
- Analysis revealed variations in gene numbers due to genetic events like duplications and losses, and differences in expression patterns among these genes suggest functional differences, enhancing our understanding of orchid evolution and biology.
Birth-related retinal hemorrhages in healthy full-term newborns and their relationship to maternal, obstetric, and neonatal risk factors.

Purpose: The purpose was to explore underlying maternal, obstetric, and neonatal risk factors of retinal hemorrhages (RH) in healthy full-term newborns.
Methods: A total of 1199 full-term infants, with gestational age more than 37 weeks and Apgar score of 7 or above, were included in this study. Infants with severe systemic diseases or any other eye diseases were excluded.
Purpose: This study was designed to measure the changes in the subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) and choroidal maximal vessel diameter (MVD) of the affected and unaffected fellow eyes in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) and compare them to healthy controls.
Methods: In this cross-sectional observational clinical study, SFCT and MVD were measured in both eyes of 53 patients with unilateral PCV. PCV eyes were subgrouped into group A and unaffected fellow eyes into group B.
Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effects and safety of photodynamic therapy on choroidal neovascularization (CNV) of pathologic myopia.
Methods: Retrospective noncomparative clinical data of 27 cases with CNV complicated from pathologic myopia (32 eyes) and treated with PDT, the parameters including the study were fundus characteristics, fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA), optic coherence tomography (OCT), and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before and after PDT.
Results: The mean age of 27 patients was 40.
