Risk factors for corneal endothelial cell loss after phacoemulsification [PDF]
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) occurring after cataract phacoemulsification surgery and identify factors associated with cell loss. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a retrospective

Accelerated Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss after Phacoemulsification in Patients with Mildly Low Endothelial Cell Density. [PDF]
By evaluating preoperative endothelial cell density (ECD), ECD loss after phacoemulsification can be predicted. In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we compared outcomes of phacoemulsification with different levels of preoperative ECD. Three-hundred-and-fifty-three patients aged between 18 and 90 years received phacoemulsification at Chang Gung

Comparative Study of Endothelial Cell Loss after Phacoemulsification in Different Anterior Chamber Depth Groups [PDF]
Introduction: Corneal decompensation is a rare but potentially vision-threatening complication after phacoemulsification surgery. The evaluation of risk factors for perioperative endothelial cell loss provides important information in preserving these ...

Loss of PPARγ in endothelial cells leads to impaired angiogenesis [PDF]
Tie2 promoter-mediated loss of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) in mice leads to osteopetrosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Vascular disease is associated with loss of PPARγ in pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVEC), we evaluated the role of PPARγ in PMVEC functions, such as angiogenesis and migration.

Loss ofPim1Imposes a Hyperadhesive Phenotype on Endothelial Cells [PDF]
Background: PIM1 is a constitutively active serine-threonine kinase regulating cell survival and proliferation. Increased PIM1 expression has been correlated with cancer metastasis by facilitating migration and anti-adhesion. Endothelial cells play a pivotal role in these processes by contributing a barrier to the blood stream.
