In this case series, five patients (10 eyes) underwent laser in siter keratomileusis (LASIK) for the correction of moderate myopia and astigmatism with the Schwind Carriazo Pendular microkeratome 90 mum head. Flap (superior hinged) thickness measured intraoperatively was assessed less than 70 mum in all eyes. On first month's postoperative examination, subepithelial mild corneal haze with consequent myopic regression was found in all patients. A significant improvement of haze formation and residual refractive error were observed during the following postoperative months. In conclusion, post-LASIK subepithelial corneal haze after thin flap creation is a temporarily potential complication that could affect patient's refractive error during the first postoperative month.

Optimizing an emergency air pollution control strategy for haze events presents a significant challenge due to the extensive computational demands required to quantify the complex nonlinearity associated with controls on diverse air pollutants and regional sources. In this study, we developed a forecasting tool for emergency air pollution control strategies based on a predictive response surface model that quantifies PM responses to emission changes from different pollutants and regions. This tool is equipped to assess the effectiveness of emergency control measures corresponding to various air pollution alerts and to formulate an optimized control strategy aimed at specific PM targets.

Aerosol light absorption has been widely considered as a contributing factor to the worsening of particulate pollution in large urban areas, primarily through its role in stabilizing the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Here, we report that absorption-dominated aerosol-radiation interaction can decrease near-surface fine particulate matter concentrations ([PM]) at a large-scale during wintertime haze events. A "warm bubble" effect by the significant heating rate of absorbing aerosols above the PBL top generates a secondary circulation, enhancing the upward motion (downward motion) and the convergence (divergence) in polluted (relatively clean) areas, with a net effect of lowering near-surface [PM].

Low solar irradiance reaching the canopy due to fog and heavy haze is a significant yield-limiting factor worldwide. However, how plants adapt to shade stress and the mechanisms underlying the reduction in leaf photosynthetic capacity and grain yield remain unclear. In this study (conducted during 2018-2021), we investigated the impact of light deprivation (60%) at the pre-anthesis and post-anthesis stages on leaf carboxylation efficiency, source-to-sink relationships, sucrose metabolism, and grain yield of wheat cultivars with contrasting shade tolerance.

Citrus pectin is an anionic polysaccharide in citrus, which may improve the stability of citrus juices. This study investigated the influence of citrus pectin on the stability of protein-polyphenol complexes in the citrus juice model system and its interaction mechanism by multispectral and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed that the citrus pectin-proanthocyanidin-zein complex improved the model citrus juices' cloud and thermal stability.

Article Synopsis
- - Corneal haze results from abnormal healing processes following injuries or surgeries, causing vision impairment due to eye opacity and irregularities, often linked to myofibroblast formation triggered by inflammation.
- - Major causes of corneal haze include surgical procedures like PRK and LASIK, as well as non-surgical factors such as trauma and infections, with research focusing on the TGFβ pathway and inflammation management methods.
- - Losartan, usually used for treating high blood pressure, shows promise in ophthalmology for reducing corneal fibrosis after various injuries and surgeries, leading to this review of its effectiveness and potential future applications in treating corneal haze.
