We were interested to read the article by Ongkosuwito et al., whose work expands the knowledge on cytokine expression in intraocular fluids. They used enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to examine the cytokine profile in the vitreous or aqueous humor of 44 eyes with infectious uveitis. The results were compared to 51 control samples. Increased interleukin (IL)-6 levels were found in 44 control e...

The present study was aimed at identification, isolation and quantification of marker compound Lupeol in Derris heyneana (Wight and Arn) Benth. by using HPTLC. A simple and sensitive High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatographic (HPTLC) method validation was carried out as per the ICH guidelines for the identification and quantification of biomarker lupeol in root, stem and leaves of Derris heyne...

We report the case of a 55-year-old immunocompetent male who presented with features typical of acute retinal necrosis (ARN). Polymerase chain reaction of the aqueous tap was positive for Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) - 1. Following therapy with intravenous Acyclovir, followed by oral Acyclovir and steroids, there was marked improvement in the visual acuity and clinical picture. At one week after ...

The question whether technological progress displaces employment or whether technological advance is beneficial for the level of employment has been in the core of economic dispute for over two centuries. The beneficial might be achieved by several compensation mechanisms within the economic system. In this paper we categorize these compensation mechanisms into two basic categories that reflect...

The appearance of a mutant androgen receptor, AR(F876L), in prostate cancer cells chronically exposed to enzalutamide or ARN-509 promotes a switch from antagonist to agonist receptor function, undermining the potential long-term effectiveness of these second-generation antiandrogen drugs.

A mono(guanidinate)tetraplatinum complex [Pt4(μ-OCOCH3)7(μ-(TolN)2CN(i)Pr2)] (5: Tol = C6H4Me-4) was prepared by treating [Pt4(μ-OCOCH3)8] (1) with excess amounts of N,N′-bis(p-tolyl)-N′′-diisopropylguanidine (4a). A substitution reaction of the guanidinate moiety of 5 with N,N′-bis(aryl)formamidine (10: aryl = C6H4Me-4, C6H4COMe-4, and C6H4OMe-4) via mixed-ligand intermediates, trans-[Pt4(μ-OC...

To explore the effect of health education model based on behavior change wheel (BCW) theory in patients with acute retinal necrosis (ARN). 78 diagnosed ARN were randomly divided into control group (n = 39) and observation 39). The received standard eye care, whereas was given BCW theory-based care. two groups compared uncertainty disease, anxiety depression levels, treatment compliance, disease...
