Intracorneal microinjections of foreign protein, conjugated to 1-131 as radioactive tracer, ivere diminished initially to an average of 71 per cent of the amount injected. After the fint day as little as 14 per cent of the intended inoculum remained. However, this did not constitute true diffusion but early leakage of protein through the needle track. The remainder was slowly lost by diffusion ...

In the title chromone-tethered benzohydrazide derivative, C20H18N2O6, the atoms of the E-3-(hydrazonometh-yl)-4H-chromen-4-one segment are essentially coplanar, the largest deviation being 0.065 (6) Å. The dihedral angle between this segment and the benzene ring of the tri-meth-oxy-benzene unit is 40.18 (10) Å. In the crystal, the mol-ecule is linked to its inverse-symmetry equivalent by pairs ...

PURPOSE To compare the visual, refractive, and keratometric outcomes of single-segment conventional and severe keratoconus (SK) types of Intacs for correction of inferior keratoconus (KCN). METHODS A total number of 41 consecutive eyes of 23 patients with a diagnosis of inferior KCN underwent Intacs implantation. Eight eyes were excluded due to postoperative complications (4 eyes) and loss to...
