Viscosurgery is a surgical procedure based on the injection of viscoelastic material between the retinal surface and the fibrovascular tissue in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), with the aim of separating these structures to facilitate their dissection. We describe a modified viscosurgical technique in which the viscoelastic material is combined with a vital dye (trypan blue), which allows us to determine the degree of adhesion between the structures. Viscosurgery with vital dye has advantages compared with conventional viscosurgery and constitutes a useful surgical approach in complicated cases of severe PDR, enhancing efficiency and safety in the dissection of fibrovascular proliferations and minimizing iatrogenic damage to the underlying retina. We used trypan blue viscosurgery in 8 eyes of 8 patients with severe PDR; in all cases, a satisfactory outcome was obtained without evidence of any complications.

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in human plasma playing essential roles in transporting various biomolecules, metal ions, therapeutic agents, and metabolites. Additionally, it is crucial for maintaining oncotic pressure, scavenging free radicals, and preventing protein aggregation. Accurate quantification of HSA is vital for diagnosing various conditions, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), liver disorders, and renal diseases.

Connexins (Cxs) are fundamental in cell-cell communication, functioning as gap junction channels (GJCs) that facilitate solute exchange between adjacent cells and as hemichannels (HCs) that mediate solute exchange between the cytoplasm and the extracellular environment. Mutations in the GJB1 gene, which encodes Cx32, lead to X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 (CMTX1), a rare hereditary demyelinating disorder of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) without an effective cure or treatment. In Schwann cells, Cx32 HCs are thought to play a role in myelination by enhancing intracellular and intercellular Ca signaling, which is crucial for proper PNS myelination.
