OBJECTIVE To study the concentration of vascular endothelial growth factor in the aqueous humor before and after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS In this prospective, interventional case series, 1.25 mg of bevacizumab was injected into the vitreous cavity as preoperative adjunctive therapy 1 week before pars plana vitrectomy to tre...

Macrophages detect pathogens via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which trigger several intracellular signaling cascades including the MAPK and NFκB pathways. These in turn mediate the up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines that are essential to combat the pathogen. However as the over-production of pro-inflammatory cytokines results in tissue damage or septic shock, precise control o...
