Nonlinear Optical Corneal Crosslinking, Mechanical Stiffening, and Corneal Flattening Using Amplified Femtosecond Pulses. [PDF]
Purpose:We have shown that nonlinear optical corneal crosslinking (NLO CXL) and stiffening can be achieved in ex vivo rabbit corneas using an 80-MHz, 760-nm femtosecond (FS) laser, however the required power was beyond the American National Standard ...

Creatinine, diet, micronutrients, and arsenic methylation in West Bengal, India. [PDF]
BackgroundIngested inorganic arsenic (InAs) is methylated to monomethylated (MMA) and dimethylated metabolites (DMA). Methylation may have an important role in arsenic toxicity, because the monomethylated trivalent metabolite [MMA(III)] is highly toxic ...

Redox mediators are essential to promote the electrogenic activity of cyanobacteria in biophotovoltaics. In this work, we systematically evaluates three representative mediators about their influence on the cyanobacterial growth, photosynthetic efficiency, and electrogenic activity. The results reveal distinct impacts of different mediators, despite of

Interruptible demyelination in avian riboflavin deficient neuropathy
Background and aims The evolution of demyelination in individual internodes remains unclear although it has been noticed the paranodal demyelination precedes internodal demyelination in neuropathies with diverse aetiologies.

Riboflavin Inhibits IL-6 Expression and p38 Activation in Islet Cells
Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin that reduces the production of proinflammatory mediators and oxygen radicals. Because islet β-cells are very sensitive to oxidative stress and to cytokines, we investigated the possible cytoprotective effects of ...

Bayes Factor Asymptotics for Variable Selection in the Gaussian Process Framework [PDF]
Although variable selection is one of the most popular areas of modern statistical research, much of its development has taken place in the classical paradigm compared to the Bayesian counterpart. Somewhat surprisingly, both the paradigms have focussed almost completely on linear models, in spite of the vast scope offered by the model liberation ...

ABSTRACT The Chicken Egg Genotoxicity Assay (CEGA) is an avian egg‐based model that utilizes the livers of developing chicken embryo‐fetuses to assess the ability of chemicals to produce direct DNA damage. The main goal of the study was to evaluate target tissue exposure and metabolism in the CEGA to assess its suitability as a biologically relevant ...

Maternal nutritional status, C1 metabolism and offspring DNA methylation: a review of current evidence in human subjects. [PDF]
: Evidence is growing for the long-term effects of environmental factors during early-life on later disease susceptibility. It is believed that epigenetic mechanisms (changes in gene function not mediated by DNA sequence alteration), particularly DNA ...
