Article Synopsis
- SYNGR2 is a protein that regulates membrane traffic in non-neuronal cells, and its role in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) was studied by analyzing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus databases.
- Findings indicate that SYNGR2 is overexpressed in ESCC and is linked to poorer survival outcomes, as well as specific cancer characteristics like T stage.
- The study suggests that SYNGR2's expression and methylation patterns correlate with immune infiltration and could serve as a potential biomarker for prognosis in ESCC patients.
Posterior capsule opacification (PCO) remains the most common complication of pediatric cataract surgery despite continuous efforts to reduce its incidence. For this reason, pediatric cataract surgeons have expended considerable effort into preventing and mitigating PCO. The intraocular lens (IOL) optic capture technique has been used for the prevention of PCO after pediatric cataract surgery for more than 20y, but there is still no professional consensus.

September 2015
Purpose: To investigate the outcomes of unilateral medial rectus resection (UMR-res) for the treatment of small to moderate angles of recurrent exotropia in children followed up for a minimum of 6 months.
Methods: This study is a retrospective, consecutive, interventional case series in which 48 children who underwent UMR-res (range 4.0-7.
Expression profiles and function of Toll-like receptors in human corneal epithelia.
Chin Med J (Engl)
May 2007
Background: Toll-like receptors play an important role in the human immune system. This study was conducted to investigate the expression profiles and function of Toll-like receptor (TLR) 1 - 9 in human corneal epithelium.
Methods: The expression of TLR1 - 9 mRNA in 20 human donor corneal epithelia samples abraded during photorefractive keratotomy (PRK) and cultivated telomerase-immortalized human corneal epithelial cells (THCEs) was examined by semi-quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.
The role of NF-kappaB activation in lipopolysaccharide induced keratitis in rats.
Chin Med J (Engl)
November 2005
Background: Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) is elevated in regulating transcription of many cytokines and inflammatory mediators. The purpose of this study was to investigate the activation and the significance NF-kappaB in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced keratitis.
Methods: LPS induced keratitis model was based on Wistar rats.
