Isolariciresinol-9'-O-α-L-arabinofuranoside protects against hydrogen peroxide‑induced apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells via a PI3K/Akt/Bad‑dependent pathway.

Isolariciresinol-9'-O-α-L-arabinofuranoside (MWS‑19) isolated from Pinus massoniana Lamb. Fresh pine needles is the major ingredient of the Songling Xuemaikang capsule therapy used for hypertension. The present study aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of MWS‑19 on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‑induced apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

[Morphological monitoring indexes in anterior segment with primary acute angle closure glaucoma].

Objective: To investigate morphological monitoring indexes of anterior segment in AACG.

Methods: Case-controlled study was conducted in the following groups: 55 eyes of 55 patients with unilateral AACG in first attack, 60 eyes of 60 cases with shallow anterior chamber, and 60 eyes of 60 cases with normal individuals. Images of anterior chamber angle in each group were collected by OCT.
