A Pilot Study on Predicting Ocular Hypertension in Chinese Patients Undergoing Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Penetrating Keratoplasty.

Ocular hypertension (OHT) can lead to corneal transplant failure, yet no predictive model exists for OHT after femtosecond laser-assisted penetrating keratoplasty (Fs-PKP). This study aimed to develop and validate a predictive nomogram for OHT in Chinese patients undergoing Fs-PKP. A retrospective cohort study at Nanjing First Hospital included 238 patients who underwent Fs-PKP and were followed up for two years.

A Predictive Model for Graft Failure in Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Penetrating Keratoplasty Among Chinese Patients: A 2-Year Study.

Introduction: Graft failure is a major challenge in femtosecond laser-assisted penetrating keratoplasty (Fs-PKP). This study focuses on the development and validation of a clinical predictive model aimed at identifying the risk of graft failure in individuals undergoing Fs-PKP in China, offering a tailored approach to improve surgical outcomes.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study at Nanjing First Hospital involved 238 patients and followed the TRIPOD statement.

Bio-Tribology and Corrosion Behaviors of a Si- and N-Incorporated Diamond-like Carbon Film: A New Class of Protective Film for Ti6Al4V Artificial Implants.

Ti6Al4V artificial implants are increasingly demanded for addressing human dysfunction caused by an aging population and major diseases. However, they are restricted due to the release of vanadium and aluminum ions in the process of corrosion and wear. This work is aimed to provide a protective film for Ti6Al4V artificial implants, and then, a Si-incorporated diamond-like carbon (Si-DLC) film and Si- and N-incorporated DLC (SiN-DLC) film were deposited on the surface of Ti6Al4V by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition.
