Intralenticular Ozurdex injection in an eye with thicker lens and the therapeutic effect maintained for 15 months.

Introduction: To report a case of accidental intralenticular Ozurdex injection in an eye with thicker lens. During the follow-up period of 15 months, the therapeutic effect of intralenticular Ozurdex was maintained.

Case Description: Ozurdex was accidently injected into the lens of an eye with uveitis, and the lens thickness was measured to be 5.

Savings and Losses of Scarce Virtual Water in the International Trade of Wheat, Maize, and Rice.

The international cereal trade can mitigate global water stress by saving virtual scarce water (VSW). Based on bilateral trade data, this study assessed VSW savings and losses in the international trade of three major cereals (i.e.

SARS-CoV-2 in the ocular surface of COVID-19 patients.

The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally, while the routes of transmission of this virus are still controversial. We enrolled 33 patients, without any ocular manifestation, with their ocular surface swabs collected for virus detection. RNA was detected strong positive in samples of both eyes from two patients.

Combined Autodock and comparative molecular field analysis study on predicting 5-lipoxygenase inhibitory activity of flavonoids isolated from Spatholobus suberectus Dunn.

5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) plays a key role in the pathway of leukotriene biosynthesis. To predict the inhibitory activity of flavonoid inhibitors against 5-LOX from Spatholobus suberectus Dunn, Autodock 4.2 and comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) were employed.

Increasing CoQ10 production by Rhodopseudomonas palustris J001 using a two-stage fermentation process.

CoQ10 is used not only as a medicine but also as a food supplement due to its various physiological activities. The production of CoQ10 by microbes is a successful approach for generating large amounts of this natural product. The effects of dissolved oxygen (DO) contents and the two-stage fermentation process on cell growth and CoQ10 production by Rhodopseudomonas palustris J001 were investigated.
