..The more pronounced ocular effects in the anesthetized rabbits were associated with the significantly higher ocular temperatures in the anesthetized animals. The influence of systemic anesthesia on ocular changes should be considered...

....

..These findings indicate that the three types of millimeter-wave antennas can cause thermal injuries of varying types and levels. The thermal effects induced by millimeter-waves can apparently penetrate below the surface of the eye...

..alpha-Lipoic acid (LA) is well known as a powerful antioxidant. The efficacy of dihydrolipoate-LA for oral administration against streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic cataract in rat was investigated...

..To clarify whether or not ambient temperature relates to cataract development or the progression of cataract formation...

..This is a report of an investigation of the effect of 5-S-GAD (eyedrops) on UVB-induced cataracts in rats...

..To investigate racial differences of lens transparency properties and the prevalence of lens opacification by age...

..No significant morphological differences in cornea and lens were found between guinea pigs fed with low-ASA or normal diet...

..To confirm whether long-term administration of prednisolone sodium succinate (prednisolone) alone is able to induce cataract in rat eyes...

..These differences support not only a racial and a gender factor but also a possible environmental influence...

..We investigated the relationship between different levels of crystalline lens transparence and the effects of glare protection using two kinds of filters...

....

..CONCLUSIONS: Ageing is a major risk factor for nuclear lens opacification, and smoking is a major modifiable risk factor. Cortical and nuclear lens opacifications do not share the same modifiable risk factors...

..45-GHz microwave systems. That position was found to appear around the posterior of the lens regardless of the exposure condition, which indicates that the original temperature distribution in the eye was the dominant factor...

..In our opinion lens and cataract research is still necessary and it will be more successful if we bear in mind the mostly unintentional errors of the 20th century but keep them out of our daily practice...

..The point to be stressed is that under anesthesia the thermoregulatory response was inactivated and blood flow and basal metabolism was reduced...

..5. The results indicate that KAD-1229 has an antihyperglycaemic effect and KAD-1229 is suggested to be a suitable agent for controlling post-prandial hyperglycaemia...

..0 W kg(-1), the body-core temperature in rabbits elevates with time, without becoming saturated. The administration of anesthesia suppressed body-core temperature elevation, which is attributed to the reduced basal metabolic rate...

..Additionally, some d-beta-Asp-containing proteins only appear after IR irradiation. One such protein is the alpha-enolase, which shows homology to tau-crystallin...

..The risk of thermal injury increases as exposure duration increases, and the risk tends to increase as the beam waist diameter or Maxwellian-view angle decreases...

..The experimental model of monkeys is recommended for estimation of the clinical effects and safety of KFA-1411 in humans...

..In particular, useful qualitative and quantitative information relating to the structural and histologic changes in the lungs may be obtainable using this model...

..KUL-7211 may be a novel and useful medication for relieving ureteral colic and promoting stone passage in urolithiasis patients...

..6. These results indicate that OCBZ has an analgesic action and is a possible therapeutic agent for the treatment of neuropathic pain, such as occurs in painful diabetic neuropathy...

..These data indicated that clodronate and pamidronate not only decrease the plasma Ca2+ concentration but also improve the renal dysfunction induced by hypercalcaemia...
