Background: To assess the characteristics of the ciliary sulcus in patients with myopia with different axial lengths using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM).
Methods: A total of 108 eyes from 54 patients were recruited between January and March 2024. Patients were matched for age, cylinder and white-to-white (WTW) ratio, and further divided into a control axial length (AL) group (CON, AL < 26.5 mm, 54 eyes) and a long AL group (L-AL, AL ≥ 26.5 mm, 54 eyes). Anterior and posterior chamber parameters were examined based on UBM. Anterior chamber parameters included sulcus-to-sulcus distance (STS) in the horizontal and vertical orientation, lens anterior surface to ciliary sulcus distance (STSL), anterior segment length (ASL) and anterior chamber depth (ACD). Posterior chamber parameters included ciliary process length (CPL), trabecular-ciliary process distance, trabecular-ciliary angle (TCA), iris-ciliary angle (ICA) and maximum ciliary body thickness in four spatial directions.
Results: The anterior chamber parameters, including STS, STSL and ASL, were significantly lower in the horizontal direction than those in the vertical direction in both groups, whereas STS was significantly lower in the CON group than in the L-AL group. Posterior chamber parameters, including CPL, TCA and ICA, showed significant spatial differences between the two groups. Furthermore, STSL correlated significantly with ACD, mean keratometry and WTW.
Conclusions: Significant spatial differences in ciliary sulcus and ciliary body morphology were observed in patients with axial myopia. In ICL size selection and vault prediction, STS and STSL are potential indicators in preoperative ICL assessment.

Objectives: To develop regression formulas for determining optimal Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) size based on Anterion AS-OCT (anterior segment optical coherence tomography) biometric data.
Methods: In this retrospective interventional case series, 89 patients were included in the development phase and 57 patients were included in the (internal) validation phase. The study developed the SN (Salouti-Nowroozzadeh) formula, a multiple step-wise linear regression model, incorporating anterior chamber width (ACW), lens thickness, and anterior chamber volume (ACV) as predictors, to determine optimal ICL size (R-square=0.

While it is established that complement receptor molecules on the surface of erythrocytes are crucial for the clearance of immune complexes in the body, the molecular mechanisms underlying the interaction between macrophages and erythrocytes in pigs remain inadequately understood. Consequently, we built a detection system with a closed-circulation flow chamber and a constant flow pump. Additionally, we optimized parameters including system flow velocity and fluid shear force.

LEDs are available in a variety of correlated color temperatures (CCTs) to suit specific application needs. Manufacturers also offer LEDs with varying power ranges, and identical power ratings but different voltage and current specifications. While consumers prioritize power ratings and CCT, the lack of reliability information in manufacturer specifications makes LED selection challenging.

Dynorphin-mediated signaling within the striatum is associated with negative affect following cocaine withdrawal and stress-induced cocaine seeking. Here, we used a trace conditioning procedure to first establish the optimum parameters to capture this transient cocaine negative affective state in wild type mice, then we investigated striatal opioid peptides as a substrate mediating cocaine conditioned place avoidance (CPA).
