Background: Diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) is a relatively new syndrome that is increasingly being reported after LASIK. We have observed that a hyperopic shift may be associated with the occurrence of this diffuse lamellar keratitis.
Case Presentation: A 26 year old man developed bilateral diffuse lamellar keratitis (DLK) following myopic LASIK. The residual refractive error was +0.5D OD and +0.25D OS at the end of the first week. The sterile infiltrates resolved over a period of 4-6 weeks on topical steroid therapy. A progressive hyperopic shift was noted in the right eye with an error +4.25Dsph/+0.25Dcyl 20 at the final follow up 6 months post surgery.
Conclusion: Diffuse lamellar keratitis after LASIK may be associated with a significant hyperopic shift.

This review analyzes the primary etiological factors of diffuse lamellar keratitis following various laser corneal refractive surgery techniques. The use of advanced diagnostic methods such as optical coherence tomography, confocal microscopy, and immunohistochemical methods has allowed for the identification of the main pathogenetic mechanisms underlying this condition, which will help improve the prevention, as well as assist with the development of optimal treatment strategies for this complication.

This manuscript reports on the effect of different bile salts concentration on the gastrointestinal digestion of casein and casein-agar hybrid systems and evaluates the effect on the nanostructural assembly of the digestion products through the application of advanced small angle X-ray scattering analysis (SAXS). The results showed that bile salts promote the hydrolysis of micellar casein upon in vitro gastrointestinal digestions. It is noteworthy that in the presence of agar, bile salts interact with the polysaccharide, leading to a reduction in their proteolytic activity.

Exploring the transfer ability of proton carriers at different relative humidity (RH) is vital for the rational design and development of high-performance proton exchange membranes (PEMs). However, the highly humidity-dependent transfer channel and random carrier distribution disqualify most membrane materials. Herein, a series of MIL-53 metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheets with stable, quantifiable pore structures and different conducting groups are prepared through postsynthetic ligand exchange, followed by spin coating to assemble lamellar membranes.

Despite considerable interest in heteroatom-containing conjugated polymers, there are only few examples with heavier p-block elements in the conjugation path. The recently reported heavier acyclic diene metathesis (HADMET) allowed for the synthesis of a polymer containing Ge=Ge double bonds-albeit insoluble and with limited degree of polymerization. By incorporation of long alkyl chains, we now obtained soluble representatives, which exhibit degrees of polymerization near infinity according to diffusion-ordered NMR spectroscopy (DOSY) and dynamic light scattering (DLS).

Since the safety and costs of current lithium-ion batteries are non-ideal, engineering a new energy-storage systems is needed. Magnesium/lithium hybrid-ion batteries (MLHBs) combining fast kinetics of Li ions and a dendrite-free Mg anode are promising. Here, we describe our development of an MLHB using lamellar SnSe/SnSe/SnO as cathode material and an all-phenyl complex (APC)-based electrolyte.
