Article Abstract
We aim to investigate the myopic control effect of high-concentration atropine (ATR) and dual-focus contact lenses (DFCLs). A retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 182 eyes in 91 individuals who used high-concentration ATR (0.125%) and another 70 eyes in 35 individuals who used DFCLs were enrolled in the ATR and DFCL groups, respectively. The primary outcomes were spherical equivalent refraction (SER) progression and axial length (AXL) elongation. The generalized estimate equation was utilized to yield the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of cycloplegic SER progression and AXL elongation between groups. According to the multivariable analysis, the change in cycloplegic SER progression was similar between the DFCL and ATR groups (aOR: 1.305, 95% CI: 0.247-2.515, = 0.803). The DFCL group demonstrated a numerically higher rate of AXL elongation compared to the ATR group (aOR: 1.530, 95% CI: 0.980-1.894, = 0.051). In the subgroup analysis, cycloplegic SER progression was insignificant between ATR and DFCL users in different subgroups (all > 0.05). The DFCL patients with moderate astigmatism and high AXL (both < 0.001) presented a high risk of AXL elongation. In conclusion, DFCL usage demonstrated similar myopic control of cycloplegic SER and AXL compared to high-concentration ATR, while DFCLs showed lower AXL control, mainly in patients with moderate astigmatism and high AXL.

Acetylation Mimetic and Null Mutations Within the Filament Core of P301L Tau Have Varied Effects on Susceptibility to Seeding and Aggregation.

The two most prominent post-translational modifications of pathologic tau are Ser/Thr/Tyr phosphorylation and Lys acetylation. Whether acetylation impacts the susceptibility of tau to templated seeding in diseases like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is largely uncharacterized. Towards this, we examined how acetylation mimicking or nullifying mutations on five sites of tau (K311, K353, K369, K370, K375), located within the tau filament core, influenced the susceptibility of P301L (PL) tau to seeds from AD (AD-tau) or PSP (PSP-tau) brain donors in HEK293T cells.

Purpose: To determine the effects of advanced spectacle lens technologies on changes in spherical equivalent of refraction (SER) and axial length (AL) elongation in slowing down the progression of myopia in children and adolescents, by synthesising data from randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to identify all RCTs up to 27 February 2025 that compared intervention groups with myopia control lenses and control groups with standard single vision lenses (SVLs). Data from eligible studies were extracted into specially-designed data collection forms without changing the original values.
Free L- and D-amino acids in PM in a megacity in central China, from the perspectives of pollution characteristics, atmospheric processes and sources.

The central region of China faces ongoing challenges in improving and meeting PM standards. While significant progress has been made in controlling anthropogenic sources, natural sources such as amino acids and bioaerosols, which are important components of PM, also require more attention. This study examines the concentrations, seasonal variations, sources, and atmospheric interactions of 15 pairs of free L- and D-amino acids in PM.

Hydroxynitrile lyase from Hevea brasiliensis (HbHNL) and the esterase SABP2 from Nicotiana tabacum share the α/β-hydrolase fold, a Ser-His-Asp catalytic triad and 44% sequence identity, yet catalyze different reactions. Prior studies showed that three active-site substitutions in HbHNL conferred weak esterase activity. To investigate how regions beyond the active site influence catalytic efficiency and active-site geometry, we engineered HbHNL variants with increasing numbers of substitutions to match SABP2.
