Corneal Cap Thickness and Its Effect on Visual Acuity and Corneal Biomechanics in Eyes Undergoing Small Incision Lenticule Extraction by Ting Liu, Ting Yu, Lina Liu, Kaijian Chen, Ji Bai

“…Ophthalmic examinations included best-corrected and uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA); refractive status, contrast sensitivity, and objective visual quality were evaluated at 2 h, 4 h, and 24 h postoperatively; while at 3 months after the procedure, corrected intraocular pressure (IOP), higher order aberrations (HOAs), and morphologic modifications of corneal architecture of both eyes were assessed. Results. Compared with the 150 μm group, the incidence of OBL was significantly higher in the 110 μm cap thickness group (P=0.004), and UCVA, Strehl ratio (SR), objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff frequency, and photopic and scotopic contrast sensitivity at medium spatial frequency were all significantly better in 110 μm group at 2 h and 24 h postoperatively (P<0.05). …”

From Cartilage to Matrix: Protocols for the Decellularization of Porcine Auricular Cartilage by Ana Caroline dos Santos, Livia Maria Barbosa de Andrade, Raí André Querino Candelária, Juliana Casanovas de Carvalho, Maria Carolina Miglino Valbão, Rodrigo da Silva Nunes Barreto, Marcelo Domingues de Faria, Rogerio Leone Buchaim, Daniela Vieira Buchaim, Maria Angelica Miglino

“…The most efficient protocol was the combination of trypsin with a sodium hydroxide solution (0.2 N) and SDS (1%) without altering the ECM conformation or the collagen architecture. In conclusion, it was observed that auricular cartilage is difficult to decellularize, influenced by material size, exposure time, and the composition of the solution. …”

Polygenic prediction of human longevity on the supposition of pervasive pleiotropy by M. Reza Jabalameli, Jhih-Rong Lin, Quanwei Zhang, Zhen Wang, Joydeep Mitra, Nha Nguyen, Tina Gao, Mark Khusidman, Sanish Sathyan, Gil Atzmon, Sofiya Milman, Jan Vijg, Nir Barzilai, Zhengdong D. Zhang

“…Abstract The highly polygenic nature of human longevity renders pleiotropy an indispensable feature of its genetic architecture. Leveraging the genetic correlation between aging-related traits (ARTs), we aimed to model the additive variance in lifespan as a function of the cumulative liability from pleiotropic segregating variants. …”
