Immune Imbalance in Sickle Cell Anemia: Flow Cytometric Insights Into Regulatory T Cells and Neutrophil Dynamics

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Flow cytometric analysis in sickle cell anemia reveals preserved Treg frequency despite decreased CD25 expression and increased neutrophil activity, highlighting a complex immune imbalance. The proportions of both neutrophil and lymphocyte cells have been shown to be a reliable predictor of CD3+ T cell levels, thus emphasizing the importance of innate ...

Comparative Study of Accommodative Function and Binocular Vision in Patients With Primary Angle‐Closure Disease

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The age‐related decline in accommodative function after the age of 50 years corresponds with an increasing incidence of primary angle‐closure disease (PACD); however, the interaction between this decline and PACD remains unexamined. Additionally, refractive error‐accommodation associations in elderly individuals, which are critical for PACD ...

Lysosome Evanescence Mediates Autophagic Flux Impairment in Glucose Imbalanced Environments

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Schwann cells (SCs) support axonal function and promote nerve regeneration. This study investigated how various glucose concentrations influence SC viability, oxidative stress, and autophagy, which contribute to diabetic neuropathy. RSC96 SCs were cultured under five glucose conditions (0, 2.5, 5.5, 50, or 100 mM) for 24, 48, and 72 h.

Associations Between Initial Glycated Hemoglobin at Diabetes Diagnosis, Longitudinal Changes and Medication Effects, and the Severity and Progression of Sight‐Threatening Diabetic Retinopathy

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a leading cause of vision impairment in patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Awareness of risk factors is necessary to reduce or prevent harmful effects of DR such as irreversible vision loss, and to help ensure early treatment.
