Thickness Effects of Radio-Frequency-Sputtered Molybdenum Disulfide Films on Soda-Lime Glass Substrates.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) films were directly formed on soda-lime glass substrates by radio-frequency (RF) sputtering and rapid thermal processing (RTP) to avoid physical exfoliation and transfer process of a MoS₂ layer. The sputtering time was adjusted in the fabrication process and the thickness effects of the MoS₂ films were investigated in terms of structural and electrical characteristics. The surface morphologies were not dependent on the film thickness but on the RF sputtering power after the film was annealed using RTP.

Histological Alterations from Condyle Repositioning with Functional Appliances in Rats.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the morphological and histological alterations of the condyle of rats undergoing forward mandibular repositioning via functional appliance.

Materials And Methods: Functional appliances were mounted onto the upper jaws of rats. Morphological analysis was conducted on micro-CT images of sacrificed animals.

Potential benefit of intraocular pressure reduction in normal-tension glaucoma in South Korea.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential benefit of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) Asian adult patients in South Korea.

Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter analysis of 166 NTG Asian adult patients in South Korea. The patient population consisted of Korean patients with NTG with at least 5 years of records available for evaluation.
