Abstract

To estimate the incidence of cilioretinal arteries among Han population of north China. A cross-sectional sample of subjects aged from 20 years old to 80 years old were selected using a cluster sampling technique from Shenyang of Liaoning Province for Diabetic Eye Disease Study. Eligible subjects were recruited in the Community Health Center which took the stereo fundus photography using 45°Non-Mydriatic Fundus Camera. Data were analyzed by SPSS 14.0. The incidence of cilioretinal arteries in 5000 eyes of 2500 subjects was determined. One, two or more cilioretinal arteries were present in 876 of all subjects and in 923 of all the eyes. Difference of presence, number and distribution of cilioretinal arteries was observed. During the subjects, the arteries occurred bilaterally in 6.9% and contributed to some portion of the temporal circulation in 78.3%, nasal circulation 14.8%, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that there was no significant difference in incidence between men and women, left and right eyes (P>0.05). 35.0% persons have the cilioretinal arteries in Han population of north China. Men and women have an equal distribution of cilioretinal arteries.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
