Purpose: To explore the impact of different intraoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) settings on the safety and prognosis in phacoemulsification.
Methods: Age related cataract patients who met the inclusion criteria and underwent phacoemulsification by using active sentry handpiece and active fluidics system. According to different intraoperative IOP settings during surgery, they were randomly divided into two groups: the 20mmHg group and the 60mmHg group.
Purpose: Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) keratitis is a type of infectious corneal disease that significantly impairs vision. The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of chelerythrine (CHE) on A.

Methods: Cytotoxicity assay and Draize eye assay were performed to assess the toxicity of RES.
keratitis is a potential blinding disease associated with invasion and excessive inflammatory response. Benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC) is a secondary metabolite with broad antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity extracted from cruciferous species. However, the role of BITC in keratitis has not been discovered yet.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFungal keratitis (FK) is a blinding ocular disease, which mainly results from fungal damage and excessive inflammation. Pentoxifylline, a kind of methylxanthine, has been discovered to have anti-inflammatory properties in various infectious diseases, hinting a potential therapeutic effect on treating corneal fungal infection. Whereas, the therapeutic impact of pentoxifylline on fungal keratitis is still uncertain.

Fungal keratitis is an infectious vision-threatening disease that has a poor prognosis, and the clinical therapeutic drugs have multiple limitations, such as epithelial toxicity and low bioavailability. Therefore, new antifungal treatment strategies must be developed. 4-Methoxycinnamic acid (MCA) is a widely occurring natural phenolic acid that has been proven to have multiple effects, such as antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and inhibiting cancer.

Objective: To discover the anatomical basis of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery.
Methods: Twenty Chinese adult cadavers including 12 and 8 woman were anatomized. The relationship between nerves, vessels of the lateral abdominal wall, retroperitoneal structures and the path of retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery were measured.
