Background: This study aims to investigate the morphologic features of the crystalline lens in Primary Angle Closure Disease (PACD) patients with zonular instability during cataract surgery using the swept-source CASIA 2 Anterior Segment-Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) system.

Methods: A total of 398 eyes (125 PACD eyes with zonular instability, 133 PACD eyes with zonular stability, and 140 cataract patient controls) of 398 patients who underwent cataract surgery combined or not glaucoma surgery between January 2021 and January 2023 were enrolled. The crystalline lens parameters were measured by CASIA2 AS-OCT.

Objective: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of implanting temporary pacemakers using ultrasound-guidance at the bedside for rescuing patients in case of cardiac emergencies.

Methods: We enrolled 194 patients with cardiac emergencies requiring temporary pacemakers in this study, and randomly assigned them to either a bedside ultrasound-guided installation group or an electrocardiogram-guided installation group. There were 105 cases in the bedside ultrasound-guided installation group, aged approximately 66.

The discovery of the necroptosis, a form of regulated necrosis that is mediated by receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1), RIPK3, and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like pseudokinase (MLKL), represents a major breakthrough that has dramatically altered the conception of necrosis - traditionally thought of as uncontrolled cell death - in various human diseases. Retinal cell death is a leading cause of blindness and has been identified in most retinal diseases, e.g.

Background: The major reason for filtering bleb failure or scarring of the bleb site is due to excessive scarring after glaucoma filtration surgery in the clinic. Traditional Chinese medicine has preeminence in the prevention of fibrosis formation through the regulation of systemic circulation and improvement of the properties of the inflammatory cells in the blood.

Aim: To examine the clinical efficacy of using the Modified Cortex Mori Capsules (MCMC; Chinese name: ) in the success rate of functional filtering blebs after glaucoma filtering surgery in clinical patients.

Background: Though trabeculectomy is often performed on patients with medically refractive pigmentary glaucoma (PG), the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment on PG remain unknown. The aim of this study was to summarize the long-term efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy on PG.

Methods: This was a prospective case series observational study.

Background: Anterior segment morphometry is crucial for ophthalmologists to understand the visual outcomes of cataract surgery, keratorefractive surgery, as well as some other anterior segment disorders. Previous reports in literature have shown that anterior chamber depth (ACD) may shift slightly after vitrectomy. This study aimed to characterize the shortterm changes in ACD in eyes after vitrectomy by means of A-scan ultrasound.

Background: Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) is proved to be effective in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) of patients with mild acute primary angle closure (APAC). It is unclear whether this laser treatment is equally efficient in managing patients with severe APAC. This study aimed to evaluate the IOP-lowering efficacy of ALPI and laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) on patients with refractory APAC, who have previously responded poorly to intensive medical therapy.
