In 43 cases with symptomatic cerebral vasospasm after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage treated by intraarterial infusion of papaverine (IAP), we studied cerebral hemodynamics by measuring cerebral circulation time (CCT) using digital subtraction angiogram. CCT on the middle cerebral artery site was defined as CCT-LAV and on the anterior cerebral artery side as CCT-MAV. In the CCT-LAV, two pha...

purpose : to evaluate central corneal thickness (cct) in patients with juvenile glaucoma and compare it with that of normal individuals methods : a prospective, case-control study was performed on 80 eyes with juvenile glaucoma who attended glaucoma clinic in farabi eye hospital, tehran, iran and 107 clinically normal healthy eyes. standard automated perimetry (sap) was performed for all the pa...

PURPOSE To compare the intraocular pressures (IOPs) measured by dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), and to investigate the association of IOPs on eyes of varying central corneal thickness (CCT). METHODS In this prospective study, 451 eyes of 233 subjects were enrolled. IOPs were measured by GAT and DCT. CCT was measured three times and the average was cal...

PURPOSE Recent studies have shown that prostaglandin analogues can decrease the central corneal thickness (CCT), however, most of those studies followed the patient's CCT for only approximately 2 years. The purpose of this present study was to perform a long-term follow-up investigation of CCT in patients who underwent only topical prostaglandin monotherapy over 4 years, and then analyze the CC...

PURPOSE To determine the distributions and relation of central corneal thickness (CCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) by NT-530P in Chinese juveniles, and the effect of gender, age, height, weight and refractive errors on the CTT and IOP. METHODS CCT and IOP of 982 eyes in 514 juveniles aged from 7 to 18 years were measured with NT-530P. Multi-linear regression and ANOVA analysis were used to...

PURPOSE Many ocular parameters show strong heritable tendencies. The significance of central corneal thickness (CCT) in the context of glaucoma has been the subject of much debate recently, but its heritability has not been extensively explored. This study was designed to investigate the parent-child heritability of CCT among groups who have CCT considered to be at the extreme ends of the norma...

PURPOSE Central corneal thickness (CCT) exhibits broad variability. For unknown reasons, CCT also associates with diseases not typically considered corneal, particularly glaucoma. The purpose of this study was to test the strain dependence of CCT variability among inbred mice and identify cellular and molecular factors associated with differing CCT. METHODS Methodology for measuring murine CC...

CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CCT) is a rate-determining enzyme in de novo synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC). The lung requires a steady synthesis of PC for lung surfactant of which disaturated PC is the essential active agent. Surfactant synthesis occurs in alveolar type II cells. Studies with non-pulmonary cells have suggested that CCT is both a nuclear and cytoplasmic protein....

Phosducin and phosducin-like protein (PhLP) bind G protein betagamma subunits and regulate their activity. This report describes a previously uncharacterized binding partner unique to PhLP that was discovered by coimmunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometric identification. Chaperonin containing tailless complex polypeptide 1 (CCT), a cytosolic chaperone responsible for the folding of ma...
