چکیده

METHODS. Retinal oxygenation response ( PO2) was measured using functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and either carbogen or 100% oxygen inhalation challenge in C57BL/6J control (C) mice. Retinal PO2 during carbogen breathing was also measured in PKC knockout (C57BL6-Prkcb1; [KO]), 4 month C57BL/6J diabetic (D), and 4-month diabetic PKC KO (D KO) mice. Retinal PKC protein expression was assessed by Western analysis.

Effect of PKCbeta on retinal oxygenation response in experimental diabetes.

PURPOSE To test the hypotheses that, in mice, breathing carbogen (95% O(2)-5% CO(2)) oxygenates the retina better than breathing 100% oxygen, the superior hemiretinal oxygenation response to carbogen inhalation is subnormal early in diabetes, and diabetes-induced elevation of retinal protein kinase C (PKC)-beta contributes to this pathophysiology. METHODS Retinal oxygenation response (DeltaPO...

Gestational diabetes influences retinal Muller cells in rat's offspring

Objective(s): The Muller cell is the principal glial cell of the vertebrate retina. The expression of Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in the Muller cells was used as a cellular marker for retinal damage. This study was done to evaluate the effect of gestational diabetes on retinal Muller cells in rat's offspring. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 12 Wistar rat dams were ...

Growth Factors in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy

Many growth factors are implicated in the pathogenesis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Alteration of growth factors and their receptors in diabetes has been shown in both experimental and clinical studies. Sustained hyperglycemia resulting from long-standing diabetes leads to several biochemical abnormalities that consequently result in retinal hypoxia. Retinal oxygenation state regulate...

Early supernormal retinal oxygenation response in patients with diabetes.

PURPOSE To determine whether the human retinal oxygenation response (deltaPO2) to a hyperoxic provocation is abnormal in patients with type I diabetes. METHODS Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to measure deltaPO2 during 100% oxygen breathing in patients with type I diabetes who had either no clinically detectable retinopathy (n = 5) or mild to moderate background diabetic retinopathy...

Effect of Lung Manual Hyperinflation (MHI) on Oxygenation of Patients Following Abdominal Surgery and T-Tube Support

Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) are of the major reasons for death. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and delayed extubation are leading to the incidence of more seriously complications. The effect of hyperinflation has not been investigated in control of these complications in patients who have been weaned from mechanical ventilation and are undergoing T-tube suppo...
