Correlation of CD105 and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor in Laser-induced Choroidal Neovascularization in Rats

Introduction Angiogenesis plays a central role in the growth and development of normal tissues and in a variety of pathological settings. It is a complex multistep process involving growth and migration of endothelial cells, and capillary morphogenesis . These processes are tightly controlled by positive and negative angiogenic factors and their receptors, which regulate one or more of these key events[1-3]. Although the regulatory mechanisms of angiogenesis are not fully understood, evidence …

Specific Binding of 17D_3 Anti-pZP mAb to Porcine and Human Zona Pellucida but not to Other Tissue Antigens Identified by ABC Immunohistochemistry

The mammalian zona pellucida (ZP) is a transparent, porous sulfated glycoproteinextracellular matrix that surrounds growing and mature oocytes as well as the fertilizedovum before implantation. It mediates the initial spermatozoon-egg interaction involved inrecognition, binding and penetration of spermatozoon to oocyte in a relatively species-specificmanner, and plays an important role in the subsequent activation events including inductionof the acrosome reaction as well as the primary block …     

Detection of Sperm DNA Damage in Workers Exposed to Benzene by Modified Single Cell Gel Electrophoresis

It was well known that the genotoxicity and the carcinogenic effects of benzene weredemonstrated[1,2]. Recently more attention had been paid to the effects of benzene on humanreproduction. These studies focused on the female reproductive system[3] or the semen,such as volume, viscosity and liquefaction[4]. Few articles reported investigating the effectsof benzene on sperm DNA that was crucial for human reproduction[5].The purpose of this study was to assess sperm DNA damage in workers expos…

The Study of Corneal Topography in Myopic and Hyperopic Children

Purpose: To compare the differences of corneal topographies in myopic and hyperopic children and study the effect of Atropin on their changes. Methods : The refractive components of 136 eyes with different refractive conditions were measured with A-Scan and their corneal topographies with and without cycloplegia were obtained respectively. Results: The mean corneal power of zones 3mm (MD3, P=0.031) and minor keratometer K2 (P=0.003) of myopia are greater than those of hyperopia without cycloplegia. MD3 (.P=0.009) and Keratometer K1 (P = 0.025) increased in hyperopic eyes, while MD3 (P=0.033), K1 (P= 0.035) and K2 (P= 0.002) decreased in myopic eyes significantly after cycloplegia. Similarly, the mean corneal power of zones 5mm (MD5) and 7mm (MD7) in myopic eyes decreased dramatically (P≤0.001). Conclusions: The corneal power was found to be greater in myopia than that in hyperopia. The effect of Atropin on corneal shape of myopia and hyperopia was in the opposite direction.
