D iabetic macular edema (DME) is the main cause of visual impairment in diabetic patients. The aim of the present study was to explore the differential proteomic pattern of the vitreous fluid from DME patients by means of proteomic analysis. For this purpose, we used fluorescence-based difference gel electrophoresis (DIGE). This technique provides accurate quantitative comparisons, and we furth...

The uranyl amide [{Li(DME)}(2)Cl][Li(DME)][UO(2)(NC(5)H(10))(3)](2) has been synthesised and structurally characterised. Its stability is attributed to the saturation of the uranyl coordination sphere by "ate" complex formation.

Due to the shortage of liquid hydrocarbon fuels for compression ignition engines, researchers have constantly been looking for alternative fuels. Recently, dim ethyl ether (DME) with its interesting properties, such as high cetane number and low exhaust emission has drawn a lot of interst as a suitable fuel for diesel engines. The main objective of this study was to assess the potentials and fe...

hydrogen was produced by steam reforming of dimethyl ether (dme) using a physical mixture of commercial hzsm-5 zeolite (for dme hydrolyzing) and cu/zno/al2o3 (for methanol steam reforming) as a catalyst in a fixed bed reactor. the experiments were performed at atmospheric pressure and in a temperature range from 270 to 310 °c. the effects of feed temperature and gas hourly space velocity (ghsv)...

BACKGROUND Findings of prior studies have been inconclusive about the ocular effects of thiazolidinediones on diabetic macular edema (DME). We evaluated, in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the short-term and long-term risks of developing DME among users vs nonusers of thiazolidinediones. METHODS A retrospective cohort study of 103,368 patients with T2D and no DME at baseline using The He...

Dimethyl ether (DME)/C1-C4 alkane mixtures are ideal fuel for homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. The comparison of delay and multi-stage DME/C1-C4 can provide theoretical guidance expanding the load range controlling time DME HCCI However, interaction mechanism between C1-C4 under engine relevant high-pressure low-temperature conditions remains to be revealed, especially co...

PURPOSE To assess the association of serum lipids with diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic macular edema (DME), and macular thickness in adults with diabetes. METHODS Diabetic patients aged ≥ 18 years were prospectively recruited from specialized eye clinics in Melbourne, Australia. Fasting total-C (cholesterol), triglyceride, HDL-C, non-HDL-C, and LDL-C were assessed. DR was graded from fund...

Due to several apparent advantages over methanol, dimethyl ether (DME) has been viewed as a promising alternative fuel for direct fuel cell technology. Similar to methanol, DME oxidation requires a surface oxidant, such as OH, for the removal of adsorbed CO. Consequently, the reaction occurs at much faster rates on binary PtRu catalysts than Pt alone. In this work, PtRu catalysts with a wide va...

Diabetic macular edema (DME) can cause blindness in diabetic patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy (DR). DM parameters controls (glycemia, arterial tension, and lipids) are the gold standard for preventing DR and DME. Although the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play a role in the development of DME, the pathological processes leading to the onset of this disease ar...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effect of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) on macular edema associated with diabetic retinopathy (DME) or branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVOME) using laser speckle flowgraphy. METHODS A comparative interventional study of 25 eyes from 22 patients with macular edema (DME group: 12 eyes; BRVOME group: 13 eyes) who underwent IVB. Mean blur rate (MB...
