Oxidative damage to cellular membranes plays an important role in the pathobiology of tissue injury. Free radical-induced peroxidation of membrane lipid and protein is associated with alterations in cellular, morphological, biochemical, and physical dynamics, which are related to the mobility of lipid molecules. Retinal photoreceptors and platelets have been shown to be an easy target of oxidants because of their high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids. This study was undertaken, for the first time, to investigate membrane fluidity in the platelets of patients with Eales' disease.

    We explored the participation of ENaC in wound healing in four cultured epithelial cell lines selected on the basis of their different embryonic origins, function and modality of healing, i.e., by lamellipodial cell crawling or by actin cable formation. Three of the cell lines (bovine corneal endoth...

    In addition to previously reported clinical signs, retinitis, neuroretinitis, and retinal vasculitis were seen in this population. Atrophy of the inner retinal layer was seen on OCT after resolution of inflammation. Visual prognosis was good in patients with focal retinitis and poor in patients with...

    We think that evaluation of neurodegeneration in OSAS is not always possible by examining OD and RNFL because there are difficulties due to the confounding issues of cerebral atrophy and OD edema....
