Seasonal variations and climatic factors on acute primary angle-closure admission in southern China: a 5-year hospital-based retrospective study.

This study revealed the peak season of APAC admission in summer, and surface temperature and precipitation are the associated factors. Close monitoring of climate changes could help to reduce the incidence of APAC attack.

Macrophage-Hosted Porphyromonas gingivalis Is a Risk Factor for Cataract Development.

Chronic infection with PG can access the lens epithelium via macrophages during stress conditions, which promotes cataract development by possibly elevating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in lens tissues.

Structure-Function Mapping Using a Three-Dimensional Neuroretinal Rim Parameter Derived From Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography Volume Scans.

Three-dimensional MDB neuroretinal rim thickness relates to visual function as strongly as the most commonly used SD-OCT parameter for glaucoma, two-dimensional peripapillary RNFL thickness.

Burden of macular complications in Japanese patients aged 75 years and over with sarcoid uveitis.

Our study uniquely identifies patients aged ≥ 75 years as a previously unrecognized high-risk group for macular complications (60% vs.

Soluble CD44 and vascular endothelial growth factor levels in patients with acute primary angle closure.

After acute increase of IOP in the APAC, the level of sCD44 and VEGF increased significantly in the aqueous humour. The damage due to high IOP may therefore be mediated through the release of sCD44.
