Impact of peripheral optical properties induced by orthokeratology lens use on myopia progression.

The objective of the present retrospective comparative cohort study was to compare the impact of wearing glasses versus an orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lens on peripheral optical properties and myopia progression in a population of South Korean children. Participants included children with myopia, between 8 and 12 years of age (n = 22 eyes), and divided into two groups: those who used glasses (Group I, n = 9) and those who used an Ortho-K lens (Group II, n = 13). Myopia progression over one year was quantified by changes in the central axial length of the eye.

Antioxidant and Protective Effects of Bupleurum falcatum on the L-Thyroxine-Induced Hyperthyroidism in Rats.

Bupleuri Radix (BR), the dried roots of Bupleurum falcatum L., has been used in folk medicine as an antiinflammatory and antioxidative agent. The aqueous extract of BR was evaluated for its possible ameliorative effect in the regulation of hyperthyroidism in l-thyroxine- (LT4-) induced rat model.

Micronucleus Test of Picrorrhiza Rhizoma Aqueous Extract in Bone Marrow Cells of Male ICR Mice.

In this research, the genotoxic effect of Picrorrhiza Rhizoma (PR) aqueous extract was evaluated using the mouse micronucleus test. PR extract was administered once a day for 2 continuous days by oral gavage to male ICR mice at doses of 2000, 1000 and 500 mg/kg. Cyclophosphamide was used as a known genotoxic agent in a positive control.

Effect of DHU001, a Polyherbal Formula on Formalin-induced Paw Chronic Inflammation of Mice.

The effect of DHU001, a mixed herbal formula consisted of 7 types aqueous extracts for various respiratory disorders were evaluated on the formalin-induced paw chronic inflammation in mice after oral administration. Mice were subaponeurotically injected in the left hind paw with 0.02 ml of 3.

[The factors related to the prognosis of solitary hepatocellular carcinoma after radiofrequency ablation].

Background/aims: Several risk factors, such as size and location, are related to local recurrence after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The objectives of this study were to clarify factors related to prognosis.

Methods: From October 1999 to December 2002, we performed RFA for 107 consecutive patients with solitary HCC.
