Optical coherence tomography angiography(Angio-OCT) has introduced a new non-invasive, quantitative method to assess superficial and deep capillary networks of the retina. In this study, we investigated macular retinal thickness and flow density change following posterior scleral reinforcement(PSR) surgery, using an RTVue XR Avanti Angio-OCT, in patients with pathological myopia. A total of 13 patients with pathological myopia were recruited and all patients completed the 6 months follow-up visit. Data from 22 eyes were used in this study. The mean age was 36.23±15.29 years, and 43%(n=6) were men.Spherical equivalent refractive error(SE) ranged from –8.0 to –24.0 D. Postoperative axial length, best-corrected visual acuity and SE did not change significantly at each follow-up, compared with pre-operative measures(P0.05). Postoperative flow density of superficial and deep retinal layers at each sector did not change significantly at each follow-up, compared with preoperative measures(P0.05). However, we found significant decrease in retinal thickness of parafovea-inferior sector after PSR surgery(P0.01), indicating potential relaxation of vitreofoveal traction after PSR surgery. 相似文献
Most of the species in the family Planctomycetaceae are of interest for their eukaryotic-like cell structures and characteristics of resistance to extreme environments. Here, we report draft genome sequences of three aquatic parasitic species of this family, Singulisphaera acidiphila (DSM 18658T), Schlesneria paludicola (DSM 18645T), and Zavarzinella formosa (DSM 19928T). 相似文献
In this paper, we demonstrate a dual-band metamaterial perfect absorber based on a Ag-dielectric-Ag multilayer nanostructure. The structure of top metal film covers nanoring grooves array. A dielectric layer has a function of confining electromagnetic fields. Theoretical analysis shows that two absorption peaks (1059 nm and 1304 nm) with the absorption of 99.2% and 99.9% have been achieved, respectively. The physical origin of perfect absorption peaks are related to the Fabry-Perot resonance effect and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the nanoring grooves. Its perfect absorption and resonance wavelength can be well regulated by adjusting the relevant structural parameters. Additionally, the absorber demonstrates good operation angle-polarization-tolerance at wide incident angles (0–60°). We believe that our design has a promising application in plasmon-enhanced photovoltaic, optical absorption switching, and modulator optical communications in the infrared regime.
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterial pathogen which can lead to several human gastric diseases. Here we describe the genome sequences of three strains isolated from atrophic gastritis and gastric ulcers patients in China. The data will permit genomic characterization of traits that may contribute to various gastric diseases. 相似文献
