Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the effects of repeated low-level red-light (RLRL) therapy on children with myopia, involving 44 participants aged 6-16 over a three-month period.
- - Results showed RLRL therapy led to significant increases in choroidal thickness, reduced axial length, and a slight regression in spherical equivalent measurements, indicating positive changes in eye structure.
- - The findings suggest that RLRL therapy could be a beneficial approach for managing myopia in children by enhancing choroidal health and potentially slowing down myopia progression.
Background: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in damaged spinal cord function. As a natural compound, curcumin has recently been shown to have anti-inflammatory and strong antioxidant activities. To investigate the effect of curcumin against acute spinal cord injury (SCI), we explored its induced effects in SCI mice.

Methods: hBDNF was engineered in rMSCs using adenovirus vector and the enhanced green fluorescence protein (eGFP) was used as a reporter gene. Mesenchymal stem cell-specific surface markers (CD90, CD29, and CD45) were used for identifying rat-derived MSCs.
