The Aim Of The Study: was to investigate the molecular genetic mechanisms of the influence of laser radiation with 577 nm wavelength in a microimpulse mode on the retina in the experimental conditions after the intravitreal injection of VEGF.
Materials And Methods: The study was performed on 4-5 week-old male mice of the line C57BL/6J. The animals were divided into 4 groups of 5 mice in each group, one eye was excremental, the contralateral eye remained intact. In the first group, intravitreal injection of PBS was performed; in the second group, intravitreal injection of 50 ng/ml of recombinant VEGF in 2 μL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was performed; in the third and fourth groups, a day after the intravitreal injection of recombinant VEGF, laser radiation with wavelength 577 nm was applied in the micropulse and continuous modes, respectively. Tissue samples (neuroepithelium, pigment epithelium) for the microarray transcription analysis in the animals from group 1 and 2 were taken 2 days after the injection of PBS and VEGF, in the animals from group 3 and 4 - a day after the retina was exposed to laser radiation.
Results And Conclusion: Molecular genetic mechanisms of the influence of laser radiation with wavelength 577 nm in a microimpulse mode on the retina in experimental conditions were studied and the genes that significantly changed the level of expression (the genes that take part in the regulation of neoangiogenesis, structural cell functions, processes of cells proliferation, transcription, differentiation, transmembrane transport, signaling, synaptic transmission, etc.) were identified.

The effectiveness of unimodality organ preservation surgical vs organ preservation radiotherapy for early hypopharyngeal cancer: a systematic review protocol.
JBI Evid Synth

Objective: Our aim is to determine the comparative effectiveness of unimodality organ preservation surgery versus radiotherapy on oncological and functional outcomes in patients with early hypopharyngeal cancer.
Introduction: Early hypopharyngeal cancer is difficult to detect and therefore rarely diagnosed, as patients are often asymptomatic. Radiotherapy is considered the main treatment, although this modality has been compared to the previously used open surgical approach, which may not reflect current surgical options.
A novel dual filtering mechanism for laser safety eyewear with polycarbonate lens coated by zirconium dioxide and silicon dioxide.

In laser safety eyewear, due to the lack of complete blocking of ultraviolet and infrared rays, we proposed a structure based on one-dimensional multilayer composed of several layers of silicon dioxide and zirconium dioxide materials alternately behind polycarbonate lens. It is find out that the acceptance angle range to the photonic crystal is 0 to 39°. This incident angle range corresponds to the band gap of the photonic crystal.

We report a nonlinear terahertz (THz) detection device based on a metallic bull's-eye plasmonic antenna. The antenna, fabricated with femtosecond laser direct writing and deposited on a nonlinear gallium phosphide (GaP) crystal, focuses incoming THz waveforms within the sub-wavelength bull's eye region to locally enhance the THz field. Additionally, the plasmonic structure minimizes diffraction effects allowing a relatively long interaction length between the transmitted THz field and the co-propagating near-infrared gating pulse used in an electro-optic sampling configuration.

Detecting shielded special nuclear material, such as nuclear explosives, is a difficult challenge pursued by non-proliferation, anti-terrorism, and nuclear security programs worldwide. Interrogation with intense fast-neutron pulses is a promising method to characterize concealed nuclear material rapidly but is limited by suitable source availability and proven instrumentation. In this study we have pioneered a demonstration of such an interrogation method using a high-intensity, short-pulse, laser-driven neutron source that offers potential benefits compared to conventional neutron sources.

Studying the properties and phase diagram of iron at high-pressure and high-temperature conditions has relevant implications for Earth's inner structure and dynamics and the temperature of the inner core boundary (ICB) at 330 GPa. Also, a hexagonal-closed packed to body-centered cubic (bcc) phase transition has been predicted by many theoretical works but observed only in a few experiments. The recent coupling of high-power laser with advanced x-ray sources from synchrotrons allows for novel approaches to address these issues.
