Abstract
Due to their similarities in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology to humans, mice are a valuable model system to study the generation and mechanisms modulating conventional outflow resistance and thus intraocular pressure. In addition, mouse models are critical for understanding the complex nature of conventional outflow homeostasis and dysfunction that results in ocular hypertension. In this review, we describe a set of minimum acceptable standards for developing, characterizing, and utilizing mouse models of open-angle ocular hypertension. We expect that this set of standard practices will increase scientific rigor when using mouse models and will better enable researchers to replicate and build upon previous findings.

Abstract
Tuberculosis is a communicable disease with high morbidity and mortality rates in developing countries. The study's primary objective is to compare conventional methods such as acid-fast bacillus (AFB) culture and microscopy with rapid diagnostic methods. The secondary objective is to compare histopathological and microbiological findings in suspected patients with tubercular lymphadenitis. A total of 111 samples (August 2018 to September 2019) of lymph nodes were processed for AFB microscopy, AFB cultures, drug-susceptibility testing (DST), histopathology, and Xpert Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB)/resistance to Rifampin (RIF) assays. Out of 111 lymph node samples, 6 (5.4%) were positive for AFB smear microscopy, 84 (75.6%) were positive for AFB culture, 80 (70.7%) were positive on Gene Xpert, and 102 (91.8%) were indicative of tuberculosis for histopathology studies. Mycobacteria growth indicator tube (MGIT) culture positivity was 84 (75.6%) higher than solid Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) culture 74 (66.6%). Positive cultures underwent phenotypic DST. Two cases were Multidrug-resistant (MDR) on DST, while three cases were Rifampicin resistant on Gene Xpert. The sensitivity of Genexpert was (62%) against the conventional AFB culture method. The poor performance of conventional lymphadenitis diagnostic methods requires early and accurate diagnostic methodology. Xpert MTB/RIF test can help in the treatment of multidrug-resistant TB cases. Nonetheless, rapid and conventional methods should be used for complete isolation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to examine the correlation between intraoperative and pathological findings for patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) and to determine their prognostic significance. METHODS Pathological reports of all colorectal cancer (CRC) patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC between 2009 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Pathological specimens lacking tumor cells were defined as negative pathological specimens (NPS). The intraoperative peritoneal cancer index (PCI) and pathological PCI (excluding NPS) were calculated separately. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to compare the prognostic value of intraoperative and pathological scoring systems. RESULTS For 108 CRC patients, 113 CRS/HIPEC procedures were performed. Of 959 pathological specimens examined, 178 (18.6%) were NPS. Overall, 78 procedures (69%) showed NPS. In 52 procedures (46%), the pathological PCI differed from the intraoperative PCI (∆PCI > 0). The ROC areas for intraoperative PCI and pathological PCI were similar in predicting 1-year overall survival (OS), 2-year OS, and 1-year disease-free survival (all p values not significant). However, for the patients with NPS, the number of positive specimens (containing tumor tissue) was superior to intraoperative PCI in predicting 2-year OS (ROC under the curve areas, 0.69 vs. 0.58, respectively; p = 0.012). In addition, a subgroup of 15 patients with a high ∆PCI (≥ 3) had a more favorable median OS than a matched group of 30 patients with similar intraoperative PCI and a ∆PCI of 0 (median survival not reached vs. 21.6 months, respectively; p = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In the majority of CRC CRS/HIPEC procedures, NPS may be found. Among patients with NPS, pathological correlation may have a prognostic significance.

Abstract
Serum levels of the inflammatory C-X-C motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10) are raised in tuberculosis (TB). CXCL10 gene expression is downregulated in monocytes by metabolically active vitamin D3 (1,25dihydroxy vitamin D). Stratification of patients by serum 25hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels at baseline showed that treatment-induced decrease in CXCL10 occurred in those with 'insufficient' and 'deficient' but not in those with 'optimal' levels. In the deficient group, 25(OH)D showed an inverse correlation with CXCL10 levels. CXCL10 may thus be a useful biomarker for the follow-up of response to treatment. However, CXCL10 levels should be interpreted taking into account the baseline serum vitamin D levels of the TB patients.
