Ancient Yi Script Handwriting Sample Repository.

The ancient Yi script has been used for over 8000 years, which can be ranked with Oracle,Sumerian,Egyptian,Mayan and Harappan,and is one of the six ancient scripts in the world. In this article, we collected 2922 handwritten single word samples of commonly used ancient Yi characters. Each character was written by 310 people respectively, with a total of 427,939 valid characters.

The effect of leizumab on serum vascular endothelial growth factor, IL-6, MCP-1 inflammatory factors in neovascular glaucoma.

This study aimed to assess Leizumab's effect on serum endothelial growth factor, interleukin-6 (IL-6), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), and inflammatory factors in neovascular glaucoma patients. 80 eligible patients treated between January 2021 and April 2023 were enrolled, randomly divided into control and study groups. The control group underwent vitrectomy while the study group received preoperative intravitreal rituximab injection.

Protective Effect of Foxtail Millet Protein Hydrolysate on Ethanol and Pyloric Ligation-Induced Gastric Ulcers in Mice.

Foxtail millet has been traditionally considered to possess gastroprotective effects, but studies evaluating its use as a treatment for gastric ulcers are lacking. Here, we assessed the antiulcer effects of foxtail millet protein hydrolysate (FPH) and explored its mechanism by using blocking agents. In a mouse model of ethanol-induced gastric ulcers, pretreatment with FPH reduced the ulcerative lesion index, downregulated the expression of inflammatory cytokines in the gastric tissue, increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes, and improved the oxidative status.

Quantitative analysis of related parameters of retinal nerve fiber layer and ganglion cell complex thickness in patients with different degrees of Parkinson's disease.

Objective: A quantitative analysis was performed to evaluate the morphologic changes of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Methods: Thirty PD patients were enrolled, and they were allocated to the mild-to-moderate PD group (n = 15) or severe PD group (n = 15) according to the severity of PD. Twenty healthy volunteers (20 eyes) were included as controls.

Clinical characteristics, rates of blindness, and geographic features of PACD in China.

Objective: To analyze the rates of blindness with the demographics and clinical characteristics of patients with primary angle-closure disease (PACD) to provide a comprehensive epidemiologic reference in China.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted in the Chinese Glaucoma Study Consortium database, which is a national multicenter glaucoma research alliance of 111 hospitals participating between December 21, 2015 and September 9, 2018. The diagnosis of PACD was made by qualified physicians through examination.

[Morphological monitoring indexes in anterior segment with primary acute angle closure glaucoma].

Objective: To investigate morphological monitoring indexes of anterior segment in AACG.

Methods: Case-controlled study was conducted in the following groups: 55 eyes of 55 patients with unilateral AACG in first attack, 60 eyes of 60 cases with shallow anterior chamber, and 60 eyes of 60 cases with normal individuals. Images of anterior chamber angle in each group were collected by OCT.

[Clinical and pathological features in 138 cases of drug-induced liver injury].

Objective: To explore the categories of drugs causing hepatotoxicity and analyze the clinical and histological features of the corresponding drug-induced liver injury (DILI), in order to gain insights into potential diagnostic factors for DILI.

Methods: A total of 138 DILI patients treated at our hospital from April 2008 to April 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The responsible drug for each DILI case was recorded.
