Purpose: To compare the rotational stability and visual outcomes of plate-haptic toric intraocular lenses (IOLs) with and without a capsular tension ring (CTR) in paired eyes.
Setting: Eye and Ears, Nose, and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Design: Prospective, randomized, paired-eye study.
Background: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is one of the most common types of skin cancer worldwide. Therefore, the identification of biomarkers associated with CSCC progression could aid in the early detection of high-risk squamous cell carcinoma and the development of novel therapeutic strategies.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the expression patterns of silent mating type Information Regulation 2 homolog 6 (SIRT6) in CSCC and its clinical significance.
Purpose: To compare the rotational stability of a monofocal and a diffractive multifocal toric intraocular lens(IOLs) with identical design and material.
Methods: This prospective study enrolled patients who underwent plate-haptic toric IOL (AT TORBI 709 M and AT LISA 909 M) implantation. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance baseline factors.
Climatic droplet keratopathy (CDK) is a corneal diseases, which is characterized by increased oil-like deposits on the anterior elastic lamina and anterior stromal layer. Severe CDK can even cause blindness, with no specific available treatment. Besides.

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy in astigmatism correction and the postoperative visual outcomes between the implantation of a trifocal IOL with femtosecond laser-assisted arcuate keratotomy (FSAK) in one eye and a bifocal toric IOL (TIOL) in the other, in patients with cataract and moderate astigmatism.
Methods: This prospective observational paired-eye study enrolled patients with cataract and corneal astigmatism (CA) between 0.
Climatic droplet keratopathy (CDK) is characterized by an increased number of oil-like deposits on the most anterior corneal layers, which affect vision and can cause blindness. Environmental ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is a major risk factor, but the underlying mechanism of CDK pathogenesis is unclear. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that miRNAs participate in the cross-talk with oxidative stress.

Setting: Eye and ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China.
Design: Prospective observational study.
Purpose: To evaluate risk factors for significant rotation and determine optimal timing for repositioning surgery following a plate-haptic toric intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
Methods: This retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent the plate-haptic toric IOL implantation at seven hospitals in Shanghai. IOL rotation and residual astigmatism were compared before and after repositioning surgery.
Purpose: To assess the contribution of capsular tension ring (CTR) to postoperative stability and visual outcomes of a plate-haptic toric intraocular lens (IOL).
Methods: This prospective cohort study was performed among patients underwent toric IOL (AT TORBI 709 M) implantation with or without CTR at the Eye and ENT hospital between April 2020 and November 2021. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to balance baseline factors.
Purpose: To illustrate the expression profile of lncRNAs and mRNAs in diabetic cataract (DC) and explore their potential role in the pathogenesis of DC.
Methods: LncRNA and mRNA microarray were conducted using the lens epithelium of DC patients (n = 3) and controls from eye bank (n = 3). Further, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were employed to unveil their underlying biological function and signaling pathway.
Background: Investigation of the prevalence of climatic droplet keratopathy (CDK) in Tacheng, Xinjiang, China.
Methods: A total of 1030 participants, in their 40s or older, from the Kazakh ethnic group in Tacheng, were randomly sampled by stratification method. Ophthalmic examinations and surveys were carried out on these participants.
Background: Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of the pilosebaceous units which can affect the individual's physiological and psychological health. Abnormal growth of lipophilic anaerobic bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes is reported to be a major factor in the development of acne. However, the relationship between skin microorganisms and acne has not been fully elucidated.

Methods: We evaluated eyes of CC /developmental cataract patients scheduled for cataract surgery from January 2016 to September 2019. Astigmatism, aberrations, and biometric parameters were measured with the Pentacam Scheimpflug imaging device (Pentacam HR, Oculus).
Accumulating evidence has shown that SHC SH2 domain-binding protein 1 (SHCBP1) functions as an oncogene and participated in the progression of various cancers. Oroxylin A, an active ingredient extracted from Chinese Medicine Scutellaria baicalensis, shows strong anticancer effects on multiple cancers, however, the pharmacological effect of oroxylin A on skin cancer and the regulatory effect of SHCBP1 on this process have never been evaluated. The present study was aimed at elucidating the effect of oroxylin A on carcinogen (DMBA/TPA)-induced skin tumorigenesis, and to further clarify the role of SHCBP1 in oroxylin A induced antitumor effect.
