Topographic distribution features of the choroidal and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in Chinese school-aged children.

Aim: To explore the topographic distribution features of choroidal thickness (CT) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), and determine the relationship between CT and ocular parameters in school-aged children.

Methods: The healthy school-aged children with low ametropia or emmetropia in Wenzhou were recruited for this cross-sectional study. With high-density optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) combined with MATLAB software, the CT and RNFLT values in the macular area were measured at different locations and compared.

Topographic distribution features of the choroidal and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in Wenzhou school-aged children.

Aim: To explore the topographic distribution features of choroidal thickness (CT) and retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT), and determine the relationship between CT and ocular parameters in school-aged children.

Methods: The healthy school-aged children with low myopia or emmetropia in Wenzhou were recruited for this cross-sectional study. With high-density optical coherence tomography (HD-OCT) combined with MATLAB software, the CT and RNFLT values in the macular area were measured at different locations and compared.

Ablation of Mature miR-183 Leads to Retinal Dysfunction in Mice.

Purpose: The microRNA cluster miR-183C, which includes miR-183 and two other genes, is critical for multiple sensory systems. In mouse retina, removal of this cluster results in photoreceptor defects in polarization, phototransduction, and outer segment elongation. However, the individual roles of the three components of this cluster are not clearly known.

Functional characterization of CEP250 variant identified in nonsyndromic retinitis pigmentosa.

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most common manifestation of inherited retinal diseases with high degree of genetic, allelic, and phenotypic heterogeneity. CEP250 encodes the C-Nap1 protein and has been associated with various retinal phenotypes. Here, we report the identification of a mutation (c.

[Application of extreme value distribution theory in the forecast of chilling return periods of Guangdong Province, China.].

Chilling is the third weather disaster following flood and typhoon in Guangdong Province. Prediction of chilling return period is of practical significance for scientific reduction and protection of disaster. Four models, including Gumbel distribution, Weibull distribution, log-normal distribution and Peasron-III distribution, were applied, based on the chilling index, to fit the probability distribution of chilling extreme calculated by chilling accumulation for 86 weather stations of Guangdong Province from 1961 to 2015 (December to the following February).
