Metaproteomic analysis of microbiome post-translation modifications (PTMm) is challenging, and little is known about the effects of inflammation on the bacterial PTM landscape in IBD. Here, we adapted and optimised fluorescence in situ hybridisation-flow cytometry (FISH-FC) to study microbiome-wide tyrosine phosphorylation (p-Tyr) in children with and without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Microbial p-Tyr signal was significantly higher in children with IBD, compared to those without.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the possible role of systemic inflammatory markers, like NLR, PLR, and SII, in distinguishing between benign and malignant eyelid lesions in patients undergoing surgery.
  • A total of 134 patients were analyzed, revealing significant differences in NLR and SII between benign and malignant groups, with mean values indicating higher inflammation in malignant cases.
  • The findings suggest that preoperative blood tests could help improve the diagnostic accuracy for eyelid lesions, although PLR did not show significant differences between the groups.

Purpose: Investigate the most appropriate mathematical formula to objectively express upper eyelid contour symmetry.

Methods: 62 eyes of 31 patients were included in the study. The upper eyelid contour symmetry of the patients was classified subjectively (independent of MRD1) as poor, acceptable, and good by three oculoplastic specialists (senior, expert, and junior surgeon).

Article Synopsis
  • The report explores the effectiveness of cryopreserved umbilical amniotic membrane (cUAM) as a graft for reconstructing the ocular surface in patients with issues like socket contracture, eyelid problems, and conjunctival defects.
  • It involved patients receiving cUAM grafts under non-commercial conditions, with success measured in terms of comfort with prosthetic eyes, natural eyelid positioning, and the healing of tissue defects.
  • Results showed a high success rate of 83.3%, with cUAM proving to be a promising alternative for ocular repairs due to less donor impact and quicker recovery times.
