OBJECTIVE To investigate the nature of retinal capillary pericyte dropout in early human
diabetic retinopathy. METHODS In the present study, neural retinas of 12 postmortem eyes from …

Purpose Variants in complement factor H (CFH), the hypothetical LOC387715, and the high-temperature
requirement A-1 (HTRA1) genes have been reported to be associated with age-…

Purpose To investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the vascular
endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene are associated with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a cohort …

Purpose.: It has been hypothesized that the macular carotenoids protect against age-related
macular degeneration (AMD). In this study, the association between serum concentrations …

The unipolar sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) full‐bridge inverter brings high‐frequency
common‐mode voltage, which restricts its application in transformerless photovoltaic …

Purpose To investigate whether variants in a set of eight candidate genes are associated
with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in a cohort of Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (…

Purpose: Macular pigment may protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by
its capacity to absorb blue light and scavenge free radicals. Current information on human …

Objectives: Age-related changes in Bruch's membrane (BM), situated between the retina
and the choroid, include the accumulation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and …

PURPOSE: Retinal capillary pericytes underwent apoptosis in vitro after they had been
exposed long-term to high levels of glucose followed by a rapid glucose reduction. The present …

Purpose.: To investigate whether the previously reported noncoding variant of the complement
factor H (CFH) gene and two coding variants of the complement component 3 (C3) gene …
