Mechanisms Underlying Contact Lens-Related Keratitis Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Takashi Suzuki et al.

Summary: Infectious keratitis is a severe complication associated with contact lens wear, particularly due to gram-negative bacterial infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. P. aeruginosa strains with the ExoU gene and expression of elastase are significantly correlated with the size of keratitis lesions. In addition to educating contact lens wearers about proper care, the development of cleaning solutions targeting the suppression of virulence factors is necessary for preventing contact lens-related keratitis in the future.

Screening of Potential Breast Cancer Inhibitors through Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Sangavi Pandi et al.

Summary: Efficient virtual screening of active molecules from various databases led to the identification of potential COX-2 inhibitors for breast cancer treatment. The selected compounds were analyzed for their affinity and interaction with COX-2, showing promising results in inhibiting breast cancer progression through hydrophobic affinity and hydrogen bonds. These findings suggest the compounds may serve as alternative therapeutic agents targeting COX-2 to reduce the incidence of breast cancer.

Contact Lens Safety for the Correction of Refractive Error in Healthy Eyes

Michelle K. Rhee et al.

Summary: Contact lenses are a safe and effective method for correcting refractive error and are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The type of contact lens material and wear and care regimens have a significant impact on the risk of corneal inflammatory events and microbial keratitis. This article focuses on the safety of contact lens correction for refractive error in healthy eyes.

Describing Chemical Reactivity with Frontier Molecular Orbitalets

Jincheng Yu et al.

Summary: This article emphasizes the importance of locality in physical space for understanding chemical reactivity. The concept of frontier molecular orbitalets (FMOLs) is introduced as a method for describing the reactivity of large systems. By locating the reactive region in chemical systems, FMOLs connect quantum mechanical treatments and chemical reactions. This approach provides insight into both energy and locality and has the potential for broad applications in the study of chemical reactions in large systems.

Health Potential of Aloe vera against Oxidative Stress Induced Corneal Damage: An In Vitro Study

Ida Ceravolo et al.

Summary: FECD is characterized by the gradual deterioration of corneal endothelial cells (CECs) and is the most common cause of corneal transplantation worldwide. Oxidative stress-induced CECs apoptosis plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of FECD. Aloe extract may protect CECs from H2O2-induced injury possibly due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
