OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the safety profile of solutions containing lutein and zeaxanthin alone or associated with brilliant blue (BB).
METHODS
Twenty-eight New Zealand rabbits were used to evaluate 4 concentrations of the various dye solutions: 0.5% lutein/zeaxanthin; 0.5% lutein/zeaxanthin associated
A crystal structure of the lutein-binding domain of human StARD3 (StAR-related lipid-transfer protein 3; also known as MLN64) has been refined to 1.74 Å resolution. A previous structure of the same protein determined to 2.2 Å resolution highlighted homology with StARD1 and shared cholesterol-binding
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether a natural dye solution based on lutein and zeaxanthin alone or combined with Brilliant Blue stains and facilitates peeling of intraocular membranes in human eyes.
METHODS
In this study of 60 cadaveric eyes, open-sky vitrectomy including posterior hyaloid detachment was
A new dye for vitreoretinal surgery comprised of soluble lutein/zeaxanthin 1 % and brilliant blue 0.025 % is advantageous compared with other dyes currently used for chromovitrectomy, and showed no signs of toxicity at 1 month of follow-up.
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a dye
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility, advantages, and safety of a novel lutein-based dye for improving identification and removal of the vitreous, internal limiting membrane, and epiretinal membrane during chromovitrectomy in humans.
METHODS
We prospectively evaluated 12 eyes that underwent pars
Inflammatory mediators and cytokines play important roles in the pathogenesis of a vast number of human diseases; therefore much attention is focused on blunting their proinflammatory modes of action. The aims of the present research were to assess the effectiveness of combinations of carotenoids
1. Trade-offs between growth and immunity of nestling birds can be influenced by parasites, but the magnitude of these effects may depend on availability of critical dietary nutrients. Owing to their importance for both immune system function and growth, dietary carotenoids have the potential to
Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients are at an increased risk for developing second primary tumors (SPTs). Diets rich in fruits and vegetables (FVs) may lower HNC risk. FV concentrates may offer a potential alternative to increasing FV intake.
We conducted a randomized, double-blind,
Ectopic pregnancy (EP), in which a fertilized ovum implants outside the uterine cavity, is the leading cause of pregnancy-related death in the first trimester. EP is usually suspected by a positive pregnancy test and an empty uterus on transvaginal sonography (TVS). Although TVS is the initial
To evaluate the relation between the steroidogenic activity and cell proliferation of individual follicles in mature hamster ovaries during the estrous cycle, the localization of enzymes involved in estrogen biosynthesis and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation were examined immunohistochemically.
Twenty four mice were divided randomly into experimental and control groups. There were 10 animals in the control group. In experimental group, anordrin (3 mg/kg) was injected into the peritoneal cavity to terminate early pregnancy. The control group was treated with normal saline. Pathological
In modern practice , the diagnosis of molar pregnancy is made at an early gestational age. The opportunity to diagnose gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) using sonography alone occurs less frequently. The classic appearance of a "snowstorm" in the endometrial cavity and bilateral theca lutein
Ovaries of 21 bitches presented with gynecopathies were surgically removed and histologically examined. Standard histological, as well as immunohistochemical, classification of 193 cystic structures resulted in the classification of 72 cysts of subsurface epithelial structures (SES), 61 follicular
Although tobacco and alcohol use are the major determinants of upper aerodigestive tract carcinogenesis, not all smokers develop cancer. This phenomenon is due to individual variation in genetic susceptibility to carcinogens. One explanation may be differences in mutagen sensitivity (as measured by
Occurrence of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) and adnexal torsion is rare in postmenopause. We report a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman with adnexal torsion caused by hydatidiform mole. The patient was admitted to our clinic complaining of acute abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting lasting
