Article Synopsis
  • - Excess hydrogen peroxide produced during retinal cell metabolism can cause oxidative damage to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), contributing to blindness, but dietary antioxidants can help prevent this problem.
  • - The study tested the potential protective effects of lutein against oxidative stress in ARPE-19 cell models exposed to hydrogen peroxide on specially designed 3D scaffolds.
  • - Results showed that lutein pretreatment reduced oxidative stress, preserved cell functions, and decreased inflammatory cytokines, indicating that lutein could be beneficial for eye health in oxidative stress conditions.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to use transcranial 2- and 3-dimensional sonography with the Virtual Organ computer-aided analysis (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI) technique to observe the morphologic characteristics of the hippocampal formation and to analyze its correlation with the corrected gestational age.

Methods: Transcranial sonography was performed from the sagittal plane of the anterior fontanel to the sagittal plane of the posterior horn of the lateral ventricle. The morphologic characteristics of the hippocampal formation in 183 singleton neonates with a corrected gestational age of 32 to 43 weeks were observed.

This study evaluated the impact of dissolved organic matter (DOM) of varying molecule weights (MWs) on long-term exposure to Cu and Pb in Chlorella pyrenoidosa. Citric acid, fulvic acid, and humic acid, in the order of increasing MWs, were selected to represent DOM. The results showed that DOM with larger MWs had stronger inhibitory effects on the bioavailability of Cu to algae.
