Climate change-induced drought is a major threat to agriculture. C crops have a higher water use efficiency (WUE) and better adaptability to drought than C crops due to their smaller stomatal morphology and faster response. However, our understanding of stomatal behaviours in both C and C Poaceae crops is limited by knowledge gaps in physical traits of guard cell (GC) and subsidiary cell (SC).

In this study, a uniform PbS/Au-layered substrate that enhances the laser desorption/ionization process, an interfacial process triggered on the substrate surface upon laser excitation, was designed to efficiently characterize the lipidomic profiles of LC patient serum.

However, the incidences of A20 abnormalities and their clinical impact remain for the most part unknown. It is also unknown whether ABIN-1 and ABIN-2, the components of the A20 NF-κB inhibitor complex, are inactivated by genetic changes in ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.

Methods: Case report and review of the related literature.
Results: A 43-year-old woman developed bilateral, elevated, white-to-grayish, gelatinous plaques on the perilimbal region and buccal mucosa.
Objective: To investigate the characteristics of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) in metastatic choroidal carcinomas and determine the value of FFA in differentiating metastatic choroidal carcinomas from primary choroidal melanomas.
Methods: It was a retrospective case series. The retrospective analysis of clinical data and FFA findings was performed in 23 eyes of 22 patients with metastatic choroidal carcinomas and 31 eyes of 31 patients with primary choroidal melanomas as the control.
Objective: To study clinicopathologic features, histologic characteristics, differential diagnosis and the treatment of orbital solitary fibrous tumor (SFT).
Methods: Clinical, radiographic and pathologic findings of 6 cases of SFT were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemistry were performed on selected samples.

Objective: To study the neuroprotection by nerve growth factor (NGF) in retina in experimental retinal detachment (RD).
Methods: Thirty one Sprague-Dawley rats were used as RD animal model by injected 0.1% sodium hyaluronate into the sub-neuroretina space.
Objective: To investigate the feasibility of inducing choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in mice by diode laser.
Methods: Two hours, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks after photocoagulation, the effect of diode laser for inducing CNV by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
Results: Two hours and 3 days after laser treatment, there were no CNV and fluorescent leakage observed in mice.
