The Langmuir technique applied to the study of natural tears [PDF]
, 2018 As a new proposal, natural tears collected from the Schirmer strips were studied using surface pressure-area, p-A, isotherms obtained with the Langmuir technique. Parameters such as limit surface pressure, plimit, elastic modulus at the maximum, CS-1max,

Dreamy Dwellings: How the Sleep Environment Affects Sleep Health in Adults—A Narrative Review
Lifestyle Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 4, October 2025.ABSTRACT Sufficient high‐quality, well‐timed sleep is essential to health and physical, cognitive and emotional functions. Historically, environmental factors such as threats from other beings have likely constrained sleep. Newer sources of sleep disruption include modern work schedules, climate change, light pollution and noise pollution.

The pathophysiology of meibomian gland dysfunction related ocular surface diseases and the molecular mechanism [PDF]
, 2016 第一部分：睑板腺功能障碍诱导的小鼠干眼动物模型的建立 目的：睑板腺功能障碍（MGD）是引起蒸发过强型干眼最常见的病因，但是MGD引起的眼表面病变的病理生理过程目前还知之甚少。本研究的主要目的是建立蒸发过强型干眼的动物模型，并观察该类型干眼的眼表病理变化过程。 方法：用裂隙灯显微镜观察外异蛋白基因（EctodysplasinA，EDA)突变鼠（Tabby鼠）的眼表病变过程，用荧光素钠染色方法检测Tabby鼠的角膜上皮缺损状况，用酚红棉线检测小鼠的水性泪液分泌，对角膜和眼睑进行H&E染色和油红染色 ...
