In the course of work in the analysis of blood, the authors have employed a number of reagents for the removal of the proteins before proceeding to the determination of other constituents. Two of these, picric acid (1) and nitric acid (2)) appeared to offer peculiar advantages in the subsequent determination of chlorides and other inorganic constituents. However, it was found that the amount of...

Abstract Background This study aims to compare the levels of intraocular cytokines between Fuchs uveitis syndrome (FUS) eyes and senile cataract eyes. The association inflammatory cytokine severity in FUS is evaluated find possible mechanism Methods A retrospective 28 with was performed. Auxiliary examinations were performed, including ophthalmic examinations, laser flare-cell photometry, aqueo...

BACKGROUND Interaction between local anesthetic solution, lidocaine hydrochloride (with and without adrenaline), and root canal irrigants such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA), and chlorhexidine (CHX) has not been studied earlier. Hence, the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the chemical interaction between 2% lidocaine hydrochloride (with a...

Incorporation of first row transition metals into stable surface precipitates can play an important role in reducing the bioavailability of these metals in neutral and alkaline soils. Organic coatings may interfere with this sorption mechanism by changing the surface characteristics and by masking the mineral surface from metal sorptives. In this study, kinetic sorption and desorption experimen...

Purpose: We report a case of sympathetic ophthalmia in which the inciting eye was treated with tectonic keratoplasty using acellular preserved human cornea.Case summary: A 68-year-old man whose left injured by nail visited our institute complaining recent decrease bilateral vision. The best corrected visual acuity 0.32 for right and 0.16 left. On slit-lamp examination, superior peripheral corne...

PURPOSE To compare the morphologic features of keratic precipitates (KPs) by confocal microscopy in granulomatous versus nongranulomatous noninfectious uveitis. METHODS KP morphology was determined by confocal scan in patients with noninfectious granulomatous and noninfectious nongranulomatous uveitic cases. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-seven eyes of 90 subjects with noninfectious uveitis...

BACKGROUND The study of corneal endothelium, by specular microscopy, in patients with anterior uveitis has largely been restricted to observations on the endothelial cells. In this prospective study "keratic precipitates" (KP) in different types of uveitis were examined in different stages of the disease process and the endothelial changes occurring in the vicinity of the KP were evaluated in c...
