RISK FACTORS AND EVALUATION OF KERATOCONUS PROGRESSION AFTER PENETRATING KERATOPLASTY WITH ANTERIOR SEGMENT OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY

Risk factors and evaluation of keratoconus progression after penetrating keratoplasty with anterior segment optical coherence tomography

Abstract To determine the risk factors and unique characteristics of keratoconus (KC) progression after penetrating keratoplasty (PK), anterior segment optical coherence tomography parameters were statistically analyzed in comparison with eyes undergoing PK for other diseases as a control.Ninety-one eyes maintaining clear PK grafts for over 10 year

Alveolar Type II Cells Escape Stress Failure Caused by Tonic Stretch through Transient Focal Adhesion Disassembly

Mechanical ventilation-induced excessive stretch of alveoli is reported to induce cellular stress failure and subsequent lung injury, and is therefore an injurious factor to the lung.Avoiding cellular stress failure is crucial to ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) treatment.In the present study, primary rat alveolar type II (ATII) cells were iso
