Purpose: To investigate the effect of Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y27632 on bioenergetic capacity and resilience of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) under metabolic stress.
Methods: Bovine CECs (BCECs) were treated with Y27632 and subjected to bioenergetic profiling using the Seahorse XFp Analyzer. The effects on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production through oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis were measured.
Purpose: To compare remineralisation efficacy between silver diamine fluoride (SDF) combined with potassium iodide (KI) and sodium fluoride (NaF) varnish using hydroxyapatite (HAP) artificial white spot lesions (AWSLs) demineralisation model.
Materials And Methods: A total of 25 HAP disks was randomly divided into five groups (n = 5): baseline, AWSLs, deionized water (DW), SDF-KI or F-varnish. After AWSLs were developed, the specimen was treated with either deionized water, SDF-KI or F-varnish.

Objectives: We aimed to: (1) explore the effect of oral potassium supplementation on urinary potassium excretion, and (2) evaluate the value of urinary potassium-related indicators in distinguishing primary aldosteronism (PA) from non-PA patients.
Design And Methods: A prospective study of 20 patients with hypertension and hypokalemia caused by renal potassium loss between November 2023 and April 2024 was conducted. Demographic features, 24-hour urine collection before and after potassium supplementation were all collected.

Background: This study examines the impact of Phα1β, a spider peptide derived from the venom of , on the Kv11.1 potassium channel in HEK293 cells transfected with the human ERG potassium channel. Phα1β inhibits high-voltage calcium channels and acts as an antagonist of the TRPA1 receptor, both of which play crucial roles in pain transduction pathways.
