The persistence of fetal vasculature (PFV) is an abnormal resorption in hyaloid vascular system. We report the case of a 2-year old child with evolutionary posterior form of bilateral vasculature presenting with leukocoria in the right eye. Clinical examination showed bilateral leukocoria, exotropia in the right eye and an exotropia in the left eye. Fundus examination of the right eye showed fibrovascular retinal band stretched to the ora serrata associated with total retinal detachment and peripheral pigment changes. Fundus examination of the left eye showed fibrovascular retinal band stretched from the papilla to the ora serrata, associated with partial inferior, anterior temporal detachment and peripheral pigment changes.

Preeclampsia (PE) is the most threatening pathology of human pregnancy. Placenta from PE patients releases harmful factors that contribute to the exacerbation of the disease. Among these factors is the prokineticin1 (PROK1) and its receptor, PROKR2 that we identified as a mediators of PE.

The labyrinthian fetoplacental capillary network is vital for proper nourishment of the developing embryo. Dysfunction of the maternal-fetal circulation is a primary cause of placental insufficiency. Here, we show that the spatial zonation of the murine placental labyrinth vasculature is controlled by flow-regulated epigenetic mechanisms.

Introduction: Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is a congenital anomaly associated with significant surgical challenges, including a high risk of postoperative retinal detachment (RD). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of surgical approach and axial length (AL) on RD risk and visual outcomes in pediatric PFV management.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 76 eyes of 74 patients who underwent cataract surgery for PFV between 2014 and 2022.

The global issue of aging populations has become increasingly prominent, thus the research and development for anti-aging therapies to assure longevity as well as to ameliorate age-related complications is put high on the agenda. The young humoral milieu has been substantiated to impart youthful characteristics to aged cells or organs. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous group of cell-derived membrane-limited structures that serve as couriers of proteins and genetic material to regulate intercellular communication.

Background: Paternal preconception alcohol exposure affects fetal development; however, it is largely unknown about the influences on offspring vasculature and mechanisms.
Methods: Offspring born form paternal rats treated with alcohol or water before pregnant was raised until 3 months of age. Vessel tone of mesenteric arteries was detected using myograph system; whole-cell calcium channel current in smooth muscle cells was tested using patch-clamp; molecule expressions were detected with real-time PCR, western blotting, and Dihydroethidium (DHE); DNA methylations were determined using targeted bisulfate sequencing assay.
