[Analysis of Characteristic Eye Movement Behaviors of Young Adults with Different Degrees of Myopia].

Objective: To measure the parameters of eye movement of young adult patients of myopia, to compare the differences in the parameters of patient groups with varied degrees of myopia, and to analyze the correlation between eye movement parameters and axial length (AL) and spherical equivalent refraction (SER).

Methods: A total of 91 young adult patients of myopia were recruited. The subjects were divided into three groups of low, moderate, and high myopia according to their SER.

YAP plays a protective role in T-2 toxin-induced inhibition of chondrocyte proliferation and matrix degradation.

Previous research has shown that T-2 toxin can damage cartilage, resulting in a disease phenotype similar to osteoarthritis. The precise molecular mechanism by which T-2 toxin causes chondrocyte injury, however, is unknown. The purpose of this study was to look into the role of YAP in T-2 toxin-induced rat chondrocyte injury.

A model-based method with geometric solutions for gaze correction in eye-tracking.

The eyeball distortions caused by eye diseases, such as myopia and strabismus, can lead to the deviations of eye-tracking data. In this paper, a model-based method with geometric solutions is proposed for gaze correction. The deviations of estimated gaze points are geometrically analyzed based on the individual eyeball models with considerations of the distortions caused by myopia and strabismus.

[Quantitation of HTLV-I proviral load using real-time quantitative PCR with Taqman MGB probe].

A quantitative real-time PCR assay was developed to measure the proviral load of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) in peripheral blood. The technology utilizes special primers and Taqman MGB fluorescence probe to measure amplification products from the gag-pro-pol polyprotein gene of HTLV-I. HTLV-I copy number was normalized to the amount of cellular DNA by quantitation of the beta-actin gene, The amplification system was sensitive to detect 5 copy/microL.

A comparison between electromyography-driven robot and passive motion device on wrist rehabilitation for chronic stroke.

Background: The effect of using robots to improve motor recovery has received increased attention, even though the most effective protocol remains a topic of study.

Objective: . The objective was to compare the training effects of treatments on the wrist joint of subjects with chronic stroke with an interactive rehabilitation robot and a robot with continuous passive motion.

[Anti-tumor effect of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies].

Objective: To investigate effects of anti-dsDNA autoantibodies on growth of tumor in vitro and in vivo.

Methods: BALB/c mice were inoculated with inactivated tumor cells and challenged s.c.

[Protective immunoresponse to CVB3 induced by gene immunization with pcDNA3-VP1].

Aim: To induce Coxsackie virus B type 3 (CVB3)-specific immune response by using a DNA vaccine containing CVB3-VP1 and to observe its protection against CVB3 challenge.

Methods: The gene coding for VP1 was obtained by RT-PCR and then was cloned into plasmid pcDNA3 to construct pcDNA3-VP1. In-vitro expression of VP1 was performed by transfection of pcDNA3-VP1 into Hela cells.
