Characteristics of the Peripapillary Structure and Vasculature in Patients With Myopic Anisometropia.

Purpose: To evaluate the interocular differences of the peripapillary structural and vascular parameters and that of association with axial length (AL) in participants with myopic anisometropia using swept-source optical coherence tomography.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included 90 eyes of 45 participants. Each participant's eyes were divided into the more and less myopic eye respectively according to spherical equivalent.

Community composition and trophic mode diversity of fungi associated with fruiting body of medicinal Sanghuangporus vaninii.

Background: The microbial symbionts of macrofungal fruiting body have been shown to play momentous roles in host growth, development, and secondary metabolism. Nevertheless, there is no report on the fungal diversity of Sanghuangporus, a medicinal and edible homologous macrofungus as "forest gold", which has good effects on antioxidation, boosting immunity and curing stomachache. Here, the diversity and functional group of fungi associated with the fruiting body of the most widely applied S.

Identification and profiling of the community structure and potential function of bacteria from the fruiting bodies of Sanghuangporus vaninii.

Sanghuangporus sp., a medicinal and edible homologous macrofungus known as 'forest gold', which has good effects on antitumor, hypolipidemia and the treatment of gynecological diseases. However, the natural resources of fruiting body are on the verge of depletion due to its long growth cycle and over exploitation.

Characteristics of the Optic Nerve Head in Myopic Eyes Using Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography.

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of the optic nerve head (ONH) in myopia using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Methods: Participants were divided into three groups according to the axial length (AL). The optic disc morphology, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) vessel density (VD), optic disc tilt, rotation, Bruch's membrane opening distance (BMOD), border length (BL), border tissue angle, focal lamina cribrosa (LC) defects, β- and γ-zone peripapillary atrophy (PPA), microvasculature dropout (MvD), choroidal thickness (CT), and the choroidal vascularity index (CVI) were compared.

Choroidal Vascularity Index Changes After Exercise in Patients With Glaucoma.

To investigate the changes in choroidal vascular structures after exercise in patients with glaucoma using an image binarisation algorithm with enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography. Thirty-four eyes of 19 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and 40 eyes of 20 normal subjects were included in the glaucoma and control groups, respectively. All subjects were evaluated before, immediately after, and 30 min after 20-min running at moderate speed.
