Identification of the Potential Molecular Mechanism of TGFBI Gene in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
Background. Transforming growth factor beta‐induced protein (TGFBI, encoded by TGFBI gene), is an extracellular matrix protein, widely expressed in variety of tissues. It binds to collagens type I, II, and IV and plays important roles in the interactions of cell with cell, collagen, and matrix.

Spontaneous closure of small full‐thickness macular holes: Presumed role of Müller cells
Abstract Purpose To document with spectral domain optical coherence tomography the formation and spontaneous closure of small full‐thickness macular holes and to propose the active role of Müller cells in macular hole closure. Methods A retrospective case series of five patients with spontaneous closure of macular holes is reviewed.

Numerical Simulation of Thrombolysis in Robot‐Assisted Retinal Vein Cannulation
Robot‐assisted retinal cannulation is an eye surgical procedure which can dissolve the obstruction by using robot to inject anticoagulant into occluded vessel. The current research on the critical parameters of cannulation for human is scarce because of the immature technology.
