Purpose: Comparison of endothelial cells density in eyes after PMMA and heparin-surface-modified lenses (HSfM1) implantation.

Material And Methods: 58 patients (26 male and 32 female) aged from 36 to 89 years. In 30 patients PMMA lenses produced by Pharmacia, Storz and Alcon and in 28 HSM (Pharmacia) lenses were implanted, after ECCE.

Results: Percentage loss of endothelial cells in eyes with PMMA lenses was 8.61% after month and 13.56% 6 months post-operatively. In eyes with HSM lenses endothelial cell loss was 8.44% and 13.55% respectively.

Conclusion: Loss of corneal endothelial cells in eyes with PMMA lenses is almost the same in eyes with HSM lenses.

This study investigated the sexual dimorphism in right ventricle (RV) remodeling in right heart failure susceptible Fischer CDF rats using the pulmonary artery banding (PAB) model. Echocardiography and hemodynamic measurements were performed in adult male and female Fischer CDF rats at 1- or 2-weeks post-PAB. RV systolic pressure and RV hypertrophy were significantly elevated in PAB rats compared to sham control at 1- and 2-weeks post-PAB; however, no differences were observed between male and female rats.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous metastatic lymphoma that can be treated by targeting angiogenesis. Apolipoprotein C1 (APOC1) plays a significant role in the proliferation and metastasis of various malignant tumors; however, its role in DLBCL-particularly its effects on angiogenesis-remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the correlation between APOC1 expression and patient prognosis in DLBCL.

Micro-Scale Topography Triggers Dynamic 3D Nuclear Deformations.

Navigating complex extracellular environments requires extensive deformation of cells and their nuclei. Most in vitro systems used to study nuclear deformations impose whole-cell confinement that mimics the physical crowding experienced by cells during 3D migration through tissues. Such systems, however, do not reproduce the types of nuclear deformations expected to occur in cells that line tissues such as endothelial or epithelial cells whose physical confinement stems principally from the topography of their underlying basement membrane.

Glycocalyx disruption, endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling as underlying mechanisms and treatment targets of chronic venous disease.

The glycocalyx is an essential structural and functional component of endothelial cells. Extensive hemodynamic changes cause endothelial glycocalyx disruption and vascular dysfunction, leading to multiple arterial and venous disorders. Chronic venous disease (CVD) is a common disorder of the lower extremities with major health and socio-economic implications, but complex pathophysiology.
