PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with decreases in corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) resulting from cataract surgery in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX). METHODS The clinical records of 78 eyes of 78 patients with PEX who had undergone cataract surgery were reviewed. ECD was measured preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively with spec...

1. Results. Scattered results about countably2 generated ideals in C(X) are established in [2] and [4] : Op is countably generated if and only if pEX and p has a countable base of neighborhoods; Op is both prime and countably generated if and only if Mp is principal, and if and only if pEX and p is isolated; no lower prime ideal is countably generated. We generalize these as follows: if Mp is c...

X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) is caused by inactivating mutations of PEX, an endopeptidase of uncertain function. This defect is shared by Hyp mice, the murine homologue of the human disease, in which a 3' Pex deletion has been documented. In the present study, we report that immortalized osteoblasts derived from the simian virus 40 (SV40) transgenic Hyp mouse (TMOb- Hyp) have an impaired cap...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in cystic fibrosis (CF) are a frequent cause of hospitalisations and lead to long-term decline in pulmonary function. Successful CF inpatient care requires the coordination of multiple providers and complex therapies. Children's Hospital of Wisconsin (CHW) and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHoA) independently identified PEx inpatient care for focused...

PURPOSE Adenosine is increasingly released in metabolic stress conditions, like hypoxia or ischemia, and regulates many physiologic processes, such as aqueous humor secretion and intraocular pressure, via activation of four adenosine receptors. In the current study, the role of the adenosine system in the pathophysiology of pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome, which is typically associated with an...

مگس مینوز سبزی و صیفی Liriomyza sativae Blanchard ، از مهم­ترین آفات ‌های گلخانه ای فضای باز، محسوب می شود. با توجه به توصیه کاربرد حشره­ کش تیوسیکلام جهت مدیریت آفت مزبور، در پژوهش حاضر، اثرات کشندگی زیرکشندگی(5/131:LC30، 1/87:LC20، 15/49:LC10 میلی گرم ماده موثره بر لیتر) حشره ­کش (اویسکت®SP50%) روی فراسنجه ­های زیستی این شرایط آزمایشگاهی مورد ارزیابی قرار گرفت. روش استفاده انجام آزمایش­ها غوط...

Background: Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is a complex systemic disorder of the extracellular matrix primarily affecting eye and visceral organs. In this age-related disease fibrillar material produced accumulates in many ocular extraocular tissues. Objective: To study prevalence pseudoexfoliation among patients with sensorineural hearing loss. Patients Methods: A cross-sectional study, cond...

: Pectus excavatum (Pex) is one of the most common congenital deformities chest wall, with pectus constituting 90% all wall and being reported in almost 1:400 to 1:1,000 live births predominant occurrence males up five times more than females. Depending on severity, presentation varies from mild cosmetic complaints life limiting cardiopulmonary symptoms. Patients may develop symptoms as they ag...

PURPOSE We investigated the ability of the combinatorial administration of different inhibitors with activities on glioma angiogenesis, migration, and proliferation to produce a prolonged inhibition of glioma growth. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We combined inhibitors affecting solely tumor angiogenesis (PF-4/CTF, cyclo-VEGI) or inhibitors affecting both angiogenesis and invasion together (PEX, PF-4/D...
