Expression profiling of ascorbic acid–related transporters in human and mouse eyes [PDF]
PURPOSE: Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an important antioxidant in the eye. Ascorbic acid is usually transported by sodium-dependent AsA transporters (SVCTs), and dehydroascorbic acid (DHA) by glucose transporters (GLUTs).

A modified 23-G trocar and cannula system with lateral micropores for drainage of vitreous humor
When primary angle-closure glaucoma occurs during an acute attack, routine phacoemulsification is challenging because of the high intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and shallow anterior chamber (AC). To reduce IOP and deepen the AC before phacoemulsification, a

The Fermi-Pasta-Ulam system as a model for glasses
We show that the standard Fermi--Pasta--Ulam system, with a suitable choice for the interparticle potential, constitutes a model for glasses, and indeed an extremely simple and manageable one. Indeed, it allows one to describe the landscape of the minima
