Effects of Variable-Temperature Roasting on the Flavor Compounds of Xinjiang Tannur-Roasted Mutton.

This study investigates the effect of variable-temperature roasting on the flavor compounds of Xinjiang tannur-roasted mutton. Gas chromatography coupled with ion mobility spectroscopy (GC-IMS) was used to compare and analyze the volatile components and flavor fingerprints of Xinjiang tannur-roasted mutton using variable-temperature electrically heated air roasting (VTR), constant-temperature electrically heated air roasting (EHAR), and constant-burning charcoal roasting (BCR) techniques. The changes in fatty acids and free amino acids in Xinjiang tannur-roasted mutton under different roasting conditions were compared.

Visual quality analysis using the Chinese Catquest-9SF scale following different spherical aberration IOL implantation.

Purpose: Based on the Chinese version of the Catquest-9SF scale, the contrast sensitivity meter and wavefront aberrometer were used to evaluate the visual quality of cataract patients implanted with different spherical aberrations IOL.

Design: Retrospective Observational Study.

Methods: Patients who had the lens implantation in our department from January 2020 to December 2021 were enrolled.

Transcriptome-based analysis of early post-mortem formation of pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) pork.

Pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) meat can cause consumer dissatisfaction and economic losses. This study determined meat quality, glycolytic enzyme activity, and differential gene expression in the longissimus lumborum (LL) and semimembranosus (SM) of normal and PSE pork carcasses. The SM did not result in PSE meat.

Comparative analysis of the morphological and biomechanical properties of normal cornea and keratoconus at different stages.

Purpose: To compare the morphological and biomechanical properties of normal cornea and keratoconus at different stages.

Methods: A total of 408 patients (517 eyes) with keratoconus were included in this study. According to the Topographic Keratoconus (TKC) grading method, keratoconus was divided into stage I (TKC = 1, 130 eyes), stage II (TKC = 1-2, 2, 164 eyes), stage III (TKC = 2-3, 3, 125 eyes) and stage IV (TKC = 3-4, 4, 98 eyes).

Proteomics analysis as an approach to understand the formation of pale, soft, and exudative (PSE) pork.

We investigated ten pale, soft, and exudative (PSE), and ten normal meat samples from pig carcasses. The meat quality at 0, 5, 12, and 24 h post-mortem and the key enzyme activities at 0 and 24 h post-mortem were determined. We selected three PSE and three normal samples for proteomics analysis at 0 h and 24 h post-mortem.

Long-term outcomes of Boston keratoprosthesis type I: the Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital experience.

Purpose: To report the long-term outcomes of Boston keratoprosthesis type I (B-KPro type I) implantation in the management of severe ocular surface disorders.

Methods: Retrospective case series. Patients who underwent B-KPro type I implantation at the People's Liberation Army General Hospital were enrolled between March 2011 and September 2019.

Comparison of Ocular Biometry Profiles in Urban and Rural Cataract Candidates in Eastern China.

Purpose: To compare ocular biometric parameters between urban and rural cataract patients in Shanghai, China.

Methods: A study of ocular biometry records from urban and rural hospitals was performed for cataract patients at least 50 years of age. The ocular biometrical parameters, which were measured with partial coherence laser interferometry (IOL Master, Zeiss), were axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), radius of corneal curvature (, including steep/flat/average ), astigmatism, and axis.

The effect of freezing time on the quality of normal and pale, soft and exudative (PSE)-like pork.

This study investigated the effects of frozen storage time on the quality and muscle structure in normal and pale, soft and exudative (PSE)-like pork. The meat quality of M. longissimus et lumborum (LL) was studied at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 weeks of storage at -18 °C, and M.

Identification of a novel mutation in FBN1 in a Chinese family with inherited ectopia lentis by targeted NGS.

Aims: To diagnose a Chinese family with inherited ectopia lentis in a genetic method and analyze the genotype-phenotype correlation.

Methods: The phenotype of each family member was identified by detailed clinical examination. We used targeted next generation sequencing (NGS) to identify mutations in FBN1 in an efficient and accurate way.

Comparison of the Clinical Performance of Refractive Rotationally Asymmetric Multifocal IOLs with Other Types of IOLs: A Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To compare the clinical performance of refractive rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens (IOLs) with spherical monofocal, accommodating, and bifocal IOLs.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register, and Web of Science up to February 2017 was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT) and comparative cohort studies. Main outcomes were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), higher-order aberrations (HOAs), MTF, Strehl ratio, and residual sphere and cylinder.

The Chinese Catquest-9SF: validation and application in community screenings.

Background: The purpose of this study was to validate the Chinese Catquest-9SF questionnaire in community screenings and explore the correlation between Catquest-9SF scores and Lens Opacities Classification System (LOCS) III cataract grading.

Methods: This was a prospective questionnaire validation study. The Catquest-9SF questionnaire was translated into Chinese and was completed by 104 Chinese cataract patients who were diagnosed in community screening.

Precision and agreement of higher order aberrations measured with ray tracing and Hartmann-Shack aberrometers.

Background: To assess the precision and agreement of measurements of higher order aberrations (HOAs) obtained with a ray tracing aberrometer (iTrace) and a Hartmann-Shack aberrometer (Topcon KR-1 W).

Methods: Prospective evaluation of the diagnostic test. Data from the right eyes of 92 normal subjects obtained using the two devices were included in this study.

Comparison of clinical performance between trifocal and bifocal intraocular lenses: A meta-analysis.

Purpose: To compare the clinical performance between trifocal and bifocal intraocular lenses in bilateral cataract and/or refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search of PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Controlled Trials Register and Web of Science was performed through October 2016 to identify randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) and comparative cohort studies. The primary outcomes were uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), defocus curve, spectacle independence, patient satisfaction and contrast sensitivity.

Clinical study inpatient-reported outcomes after binocular implantation of aspheric intraocular lens of different negative spherical aberrations.

Objective: To compare patient-reported outcomes after implantation of the ZA9003 intraocular lens (IOLs), or the MCX11 ASP IOLs or the spherical IOLs (HQ-201HEP).

Methods: Prospective nonrandomized controlled trial was used. A total of 105 patients (210 eyes) were divided into three groups according to the type of IOLs: ZA9003 (35 patients, 70 eyes), MCX11 ASP (35 patients, 70 eyes) or HQ-201HEP (35 patients, 70 eyes).
