Protective effects of docosahexaenoic acid combined with bilberry extract on myopic Guinea pigs.

This study aims to investigate the protective effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) combined with bilberry extract (BE) on myopic guinea pigs. In total, 105 healthy pigmented guinea pigs aged 2 weeks were selected and randomly divided into five groups. The normal control (NC) group received no treatment, while the experimental groups wore -6.

Corrosion Resistance of Fe-Based Amorphous Films Prepared by the Radio Frequency Magnetron Sputter Method.

Amorphous thin films can be applied to increase the anti-corrosion ability of critical components. Atomized FeCrNiMoCSiB powders were hot-pressed into a disc target for R. F.

Myopia among children and adolescents: an epidemiological study in Fuzhou City.

Objective: To provide a reference for the prevention and control of myopia by analyzing and discussing the findings of an epidemiological survey of the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents in Fuzhou City from 2019 to 2021.

Methods: Participants for this cross-sectional study were drawn from Gulou District and Minqing County in Fuzhou City using cluster random sampling to account for differences in population density, economic development, and other environmental variables.

Results: Myopia was more prevalent in 2020 than in 2019, but by 2021 it had dropped to about the same level as in 2019.

Epidemiological investigation of the status of myopia in children and adolescents in Fujian Province in 2020.

Purpose: The 2020 epidemiological investigation of myopia in children and adolescents in Fujian Province' aimed to provide reference guidelines for the prevention and control of myopia. The purpose of the present study was to address shortfalls in the epidemiological survey of myopia in Fujian and provide a basis for government decision making.

Study Design: A cross-sectional and epidemiological investigation METHODS: Based on their levels of economic development and other economic factors, three cities in Fujian Province (Fuzhou, Xiamen, Longyan) were chosen through cluster random sampling and epidemiological investigation.

Rapid determination of multi-antibiotic residues in honey based on modified QuEChERS method coupled with UPLC-MS/MS.

Antibiotic residues in honey cause public health problems. To analyze multi-antibiotic residues in honey, a modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) extraction method coupled with ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed for simultaneous quantification of 70 antibiotic residues in honey. Matrix-matched calibrations indicated the correlation coefficients were higher than 0.

Study on the Optic Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness and Changes in Blood Flow in Myopic Children.

Objective: The present study aims to observe the optic nerve fiber layer thickness and blood flow density in the papillary area and investigate the effects of axial length (AL) and the refractive state of the optic papilla blood flow density in children with different refractive conditions.

Methods: The present study was a clinical control study. The right eyes of 204 minors aged 6-17 years were studied.

A Comparative Study of Macular and Choroidal Thickness and Blood-Flow Parameters in Patients with Intermediate and Simple Juvenile Moderate Myopia.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the macular and choroidal thicknesses and blood-flow parameters of patients with intermediate and simple juvenile moderate myopia in order to provide a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of myopia and a basis for its prevention.

Methods: Participants were selected from patients under the age of 18 with moderate myopia who were treated in our ophthalmic clinic between June and December 2019. Seventy-five right eyes were selected from participants with a mean spherical equivalent ranging from -6.

Electrochromic properties of tungsten-titanium oxide films.

The last decade has seen great in electrochromic (EC) technology for smart windows and displays. In this study, WTiOx films formed from TiO2 and WO3 were deposited onto ITO glass with a sheet resistance of 10 Omega cm and on silicon substrates, by pulsed magnetron sputtering using a W and Ti alloy target. The films were deposited at plasma powers 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 W using a gaseous Ar (150 sccm)/O2 (50 sccm) mixture; the working pressure was fixed at 5E-2 torr.

Characterization of titanium nitride coatings deposited by metal plasma ion pre-implantation and cathodic arc evaporation.

Titanium nitride coatings are deposited using a hybrid system of cathodic arc evaporation and metal plasma ion implantation. The implant sources selected are Ti and C. Subsequent ion bombardment along with the conventional cathodic arc evaporation are applied to the deposition of TiN film.

Electrical enhancement of direct methanol fuel cells by metal-plasma ion implantation Pt-Ru/C multilayer catalysts.

Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) have been widely studied owing to their simple cell configuration, high volume energy density, short start-up time, high operational reliability and other favorable characteristics. However, major limitations include high production cost, poisoning of the catalyst and methanol crossover. This study adopts a simple technique for preparing Pt-Ru/C multilayer catalysts, including magnetron sputtering (MS) and metal-plasma ion implantation (MPII).
