    Abstract This book describes and illustrates the various operative techniques employed in internal limiting membrane (ILM) surgery in patients with different macular diseases. Clear guidance is first provided on terminology, bearing in mind that, in the past, methods and results have often been misread or misunderstood owing to confusing terms. Instruction is then given on handling of the ILM and the use of vital dyes and vitreous substitute. ILM peeling, ILM insertion, and ILM flap techniques are explained, and detailed descriptions are provided of the ILM surgical procedures currently performed in conditions such as macular hole, epiretinal membrane, diabetic macular edema, myopic tractional maculopathy, retinal detachment, and optic pit maculopathy. In addition, a chapter is devoted to the postoperative anatomical and functional changes to the macula after ILM surgery in order to help readers both to understand the mechanism of metamorphopsia and to reduce this symptom. The book will be an excellent up-to-date guide for all vitreoretinal surgeons.

    Abstract Kimchi is a traditional fermented food that contains abundant nutrients and functional ingredients with various health benefits. We previously reported that kimchi active components suppress hepatic steatosis caused by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, we assessed the effect of kimchi on the inhibition of hepatic steatosis caused by ER stress in HepG2 cells and C57BL/6N mice to verify the hypothesis that kimchi may potentially inhibit nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. We investigated the effect of kimchi on cell viability and triglyceride concentrations in cells and on lipid profile, lipid accumulation, and expression of related genes in cells and mice with hepatic steatosis. A mechanistic study was also performed using the liver X receptor α agonist T0901317 and the AMP-activated protein kinase agonist AICAR. Kimchi was noncytotoxic and effectively reduced triglyceride concentrations and suppressed hepatic steatosis-related gene expression in cells and mice. Additionally, kimchi recovered weight loss, lowered the serum and liver tissue lipid profiles, suppressed lipid accumulation, and reduced the effects of T0901317 and AICAR on lipogenic gene expression in tunicamycin-treated mice. Our results highlight that kimchi could prevent hepatic steatosis caused by ER stress in cells and mice.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of serum clot activator, silica (SiO 2 ), which may be used for making autologous serum eye drops, on human corneal fibroblasts.
    Methods: Cultured human corneal fibroblasts were exposed to 10%, 20%, and 30% silica for 1, 6, and 24 hours; methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay was performed to determine the survival rate of fibroblasts and lactate dehydrogenase leakage assay to assess the cytotoxicity. The apoptotic response was evaluated by flow cytometric analysis and fluorescence staining with Annexin V and propidium iodide. Cellular morphology was evaluated by inverted phase-contrast light microscopy and electron microscopy.
    Results: The survival rate of human corneal fibroblasts and cytotoxicity showed both dose-dependent and time-dependent responses. The fluorescent micrograph and flow cytometry showed that as the exposure time increased, more cells underwent apoptosis or necrosis after treatment with 30% silica. When observed with light and electron microscopy, the number of corneal fibroblasts decreased and they were more detached from the dish. In addition, damaged corneal fibroblasts showed degenerative changes after exposure to 30% silica.
    Conclusions: Silica showed dose-dependent and time-dependent toxicity in human corneal fibroblasts. It is safer to keep the blood in tubes without a clot activator when manufacturing autologous serum eye drops to prevent possible corneal cytotoxicity.

  6. Article ; Online: Gut microbiome diversity and function during hibernation and spring emergence in an aquatic frog.

    Abstract The gut microbiota maintains a deeply symbiotic relationship with host physiology, intricately engaging with both internal (endogenous) and external (exogenous) factors. Anurans, especially those in temperate regions, face the dual challenges of significant external influences like hibernation and complex internal variances tied to different life histories. In our research, we sought to determine whether different life stages (juvenile versus adult) of the Japanese wrinkled frog (Glandirana rugosa) lead to distinct shifts in gut bacterial communities during winter (hibernation) and its subsequent transition to spring. As hypothesized, we observed a more pronounced variability in the gut bacterial diversity and abundance in juvenile frogs compared to their adult counterparts. This suggests that the gut environment may be more resilient or stable in adult frogs during their hibernation period. However, this pronounced difference was confined to the winter season; by spring, the diversity and abundance of gut bacteria in both juvenile and adult frogs aligned closely. Specifically, the variance in gut bacterial diversity and composition between winter and spring appears to mirror the frogs' ecological adaptations. During the hibernation period, a dominance of Proteobacteria suggests an emphasis on supporting intracellular transport and maintaining homeostasis, as opposed to active metabolism in the frogs. Conversely, come spring, an uptick in bacterial diversity coupled with a dominance of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes points to an upsurge in metabolic activity post-hibernation, favoring enhanced nutrient assimilation and energy metabolism. Our findings highlight that the relationship between the gut microbiome and its host is dynamic and bidirectional. However, the extent to which changes in gut bacterial diversity and composition contribute to enhancing hibernation physiology in frogs remains an open question, warranting further investigation.

    Abstract Targeted bisulfite sequencing using single-base extension (SBE) can be used to measure DNA methylation via capillary electrophoresis on genetic analyzers in forensic labs. Several accurate age prediction models have been reported using this method. However, using different genetic analyzers with different software settings can generate different methylation values, leading to significant errors in age prediction. To address this issue, the study proposes and compares four methods as follows: (1) adjusting methylation values using numerous actual body fluid DNA samples, (2) adjusting methylation values using control DNAs with varying methylation ratios, (3) constructing new age prediction models for each genetic analyzer type, and (4) constructing new age prediction models that could be applied to all types of genetic analyzers. To test the methods for adjusting values using actual body fluid DNA samples, previously reported adjusting equations were used for blood/saliva DNA age prediction markers (ELOVL2, FHL2, KLF14, MIR29B2CHG/C1orf132, and TRIM59). New equations were generated for semen DNA age prediction markers (TTC7B, LOC401324/cg12837463, and LOC729960/NOX4) by drawing polynomial regression lines between the results of the three types of genetic analyzers (3130, 3500, and SeqStudio). The same method was applied to obtain adjustment equations using 11 control DNA samples. To develop new age prediction models for each genetic analyzer type, linear regression analysis was conducted using DNA methylation data from 150 blood, 150 saliva, and 62 semen samples. For the genetic analyzer-independent models, control DNAs were used to formulate equations for calibrating the bias of the data from each genetic analyzer, and linear regression analysis was performed using calibrated body fluid DNA data. In the comparison results, the genetic analyzer-specific models showed the highest accuracy. However, genetic analyzer-independent models through bias adjustment also provided accurate age prediction results, suggesting its use as an alternative in situations with multiple constraints.

    Abstract The purpose of this study is to present a novel strategy to enhance collagen production in cells. To identify amino acid analogs with excellent collagen production-enhancing effects, human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were treated with 20 kinds of amidated amino acids and 20 kinds of free amino acids, individually at 1 mM. The results showed that glycinamide enhanced collagen production (secreted collagen level) most effectively. Glycine also enhanced collagen production to a lesser degree. However, other glycine derivatives, such as N-acetyl glycine, N-acetyl glycinamide, glycine methyl ester, glycine ethyl ester, and glycyl glycine, did not show such effects. Glycinamide increased type I and III collagen protein levels without affecting
