Ocular inoculation of toad venom: toxic cataract and proteomic profiling by Danni Lyu, Danni Lyu, Shuang Ni, Shuang Ni, Jia Xu, Jia Xu, Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu, Jing-Wei Xu, Jing-Wei Xu, Yixuan Feng, Yixuan Feng, Ce Shi, Ce Shi, Wen Xu, Wen Xu

“…He was diagnosed with a toxic cataract, and underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Anterior capsule, nucleus, and cortex specimens from the patient (designated as PT_CAP, PT_PHACO, and PT_CTX, respectively) and age-related cataract controls (C_CAP, C_PHACO, and C_CTX, respectively) were collected and subjected to 4D label-free quantitative proteomics.ResultsA multitude of differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were identified in the patient’s lens compared to those in the controls. …”

Correlation between Hyperalgesia and Upregulation of TNF-α and IL-1β in Aqueous Humor and Blood in Second Eye Phacoemulsification: Clinical and Experimental Investigation by Ruibo Yang, Chang Liu, Di Yu, Lechong Ma, Yan Zhang, Shaozhen Zhao

“…The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between intraoperative hyperalgesia of the second eye and the dynamic changes of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β levels in aqueous humor (AH) of the second eye and whole blood after the first eye cataract surgery. A rabbit model of monocular phacoemulsification was established by administration of 0.3% levofloxacin. …”
