Estrogen Accelerates Wound Angiogenesis In Rats
Background and Objective: Angiogenesis is a complex program of several steps and it is tightly regulated by pro- and anti-angiogenic factors. Angiogenesis is one of the key elements in cutaneous wound healing and skin cancers. Estrogen seems to have positive modulating effect on cutaneous wound healing and this effect may be explained by its angiogenic properties. This study aims to investig...
متن کاملPartial Degeneration of the Optic Nerve Associated with Vitamin Deficiency
The patient, usually a young adult, complains of slow and progressive loss of vision. No abnormalities which can satisfactorily account for the failure of vision are found in the media of the eye, but ophthalmoscopic examination reveals pallor of the temporal half of the optic discs. The condition is a common one; some 300 to 400 cases are seen annually in the Government Ophthalmic Hospital, Ma...
متن کاملImmunoproteasome Deficiency Protects in the Retina after Optic Nerve Crush
The immunoproteasome is upregulated by disease, oxidative stress, and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting an expanded role for the immunoproteasome in stress signaling that goes beyond its canonical role in generating peptides for antigen presentation. The signaling pathways that are regulated by the immunoproteasome remain elusive. However, previous studies suggest a role for the immunoproteaso...
متن کاملEffect of aging on optic nerve appearance: a longitudinal study.
AIM To determine whether aging causes detectable changes in the appearance of the optic disc. METHODS A retrospective longitudinal study was performed with quantitative and qualitative evaluations of digitised stereoscopic optic disc photographs of 224 eyes of 224 subjects. There were three groups: 100 normal subjects from the Framingham Eye Study, 68 glaucomatous patients followed longitudin...
