Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs)-based composites as luminous down-conversion materials are becoming more popular due to several advantages such as steady fluorescence, ease of functionalization, tailoring of emission in the visible range, and so on. We report an inexpensive and environmentally sustainable synthesis of fluorescent nitrogen doped-CQDs produced from Cissus quadrangularis, a low-cost plant precursor with therapeutic value. The morphological, structural, and physicochemical features of the material were carefully investigated. Under UV stimulation (365 nm), almost spherical shaped N-CQDs with an average diameter of 5.1 nm were discovered to generate yellow-green fluorescence, have excellent photostability, and strong water solubility, with a quantum yield of up to 5 %. Furthermore, as a solid-phase dispersion matrix for CQDs, ecologically friendly and biodegradable bioplastic is appealing. The down-conversion of solid-state fluorescence of LEDs and UVC tubes was demonstrated by creating a nanocomposite by inserting N-CQDs into the solid matrix of a wheat starch-based bioplastic. Furthermore, employing constructed quantum dot-based optical displays, down-converted LEDs, and UVC tubes, the impacts of varied CQD concentrations and pH sensitivity were examined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To report 15-year incidence rate of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) in the Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study (APEDS). METHODS A population-based longitudinal study was carried out at three rural study sites. Phakic participants aged ≥40 years who participated at baseline (APEDS I) and the mean 15-year follow-up visit (APEDS III) were included. A comprehensive ophthalmic examination was performed on all participants. Mean intraocular pressure (IOP) was average of IOPs of right and left eyes. The definition of glaucoma was based on the International Society of Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology (ISGEO) classification. The main outcome measure was incidence of POAG during the follow-up period in participants without glaucoma or suspicion of glaucoma at baseline. RESULTS Data from the available and eligible participants from the original cohort (1241/2790; 44.4%) were analysed. The mean age (standard deviation) of participants at baseline was 50.2 (8.1) years; 580 (46.7%) were men. Thirty-six participants developed POAG [bilateral in 17 (47.2%)] over 15 years. The incidence rate of POAG per 100-person years (95% confidence interval) was 2.83 (2.6, 3.08). Compared to baseline, the reduction in mean IOP [median (range) mm Hg] was -0.75 (-7.5, 9) in participants with incident POAG and -2.5 (-14.5, 14.5) in those without. The inter-visit difference in mean IOP was a significant risk factor on logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION We report the long-term incidence of POAG in rural India. A longitudinal change in IOP, specifically a less pronounced reduction in IOP with increasing age, was a novel risk factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To report on the barriers to uptake of eye care services after referral in the elderly in 'homes for the aged' in Hyderabad, India. METHODS Individuals aged ≥60 years were recruited from 41 'homes for the aged' and were examined in the 'make-shift' clinics in homes. All participants who had vision impairment or needed further eye examination other than spectacles were referred to the higher centres for 'free services'. Three months after the referral, the participants were interviewed and asked about the uptake of services, and their reasons for not attending. RESULTS In all, 731/1182 (61.8%) participants were referred of which 375 (49.9%) attended. In multiple logistic regression, participants aged ≥80 years were less likely to utilise the services (OR 0.60; 95% CI 0.39 to 0.03). Similarly, the participants living in free homes (OR 3.53; 95% CI 2.15 to 5.79) and subsidised homes (OR 2.24: 95% CI 1.55 to 3.23) and those independently mobile had higher odds for uptake of services (OR 5.74; 95% CI 3.31 to 10.51). The major reasons for not availing the referral services were 'lack of felt need' reported by 136 (45.4%) participants followed by other health issues in 100 (33.4%) participants and non-consenting family members in 49 (16.4%) participants. In all, 14 (4.7%) participants gave other reasons. CONCLUSIONS The uptake of eye care services in the elderly in residential care remains poor despite the provision of services for free. Lack of felt need for services is the main reason for non-compliance to the referral for care. Counselling on the benefit of interventions could potentially improve referral compliance in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To report the 15-year incidence rate of pseudo-exfoliation (PXF), PXF glaucoma and regional variation among rural participants in the Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study (APEDS) III. METHODS This population-based longitudinal study was carried out at three rural study sites. Individuals of all ages who participated at baseline with a mean 15-year follow-up visit were included. Detailed Comprehensive ophthalmic examination was performed on all participants. The main outcome measure was development of PXF during the follow-up period in participants who were phakic in one or both eyes without PXF at baseline. RESULTS Among 5395 participants, 5108 (94.6%) met the inclusion criteria. There were 93 (1.82%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.47-2.22) cases of incident PXF. Their median baseline age (1st, 3rd quartiles) was 51 (44, 59) years and the male: female ratio was 1.3:1. There was no case of incident PXF in participants aged <30 years at baseline. The incidence rate per 100 person years (95% CI) among all ages and those aged ≥30 years at baseline was 1.73 (1.64-1.82) and 3.73 (3.53-3.93), respectively. PXF material was located on iris as well as anterior surface of lens and it was often bilateral. Participants living in two study sites and increasing age were associated with the incidence of PXF. The 15-year incidence of PXF glaucoma (95% CI) in participants ≥30 years of age at baseline was 0.33% (0.14-0.66). CONCLUSION There is significant regional variation in incidence of PXF in south India which warrants further investigation.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the incidence, visual impairment, and blindness due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP) in a rural southern Indian cohort. Methods This is a population-based longitudinal cohort study of participants with RP from the Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study (APEDS) cohorts I and III, respectively. The study included participants with RP of APEDS I who were followed until APEDS III. Their demographic data along with ocular features, fundus photographs, and visual fields (Humphrey) were collected. Descriptive statistics using mean ± standard deviation with interquartile range (IQR) were calculated. The main outcome measures were RP incidence, visual impairment, and blindness as per the World Health Organization (WHO) definitions. Results At baseline (APEDS I), 7771 participants residing in three rural areas were examined. There were nine participants with RP with a mean age at baseline of 47.33 ± 10.89 years (IQR: 39-55). There was a male preponderance (6:3), and the mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 18 eyes from nine participants with RP was 1.2 ± 0.72 logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR; IQR: 0.7-1.6). Over a mean follow-up duration of 15 years, 5395/7771 (69.4%) were re-examined, which included seven RP participants from APEDS 1. Additionally, two new participants with RP were identified; so, the overall incidence was 370/ million in 15 years (24.7/million per year). The mean BCVA of 14 eyes of seven participants with RP who were re-examined in APEDS III was 2.17 ± 0.56 logMAR (IQR: 1.8-2.6), and five of these seven participants with RP developed incident blindness during the follow-up period. Conclusion RP is a prevalent disease in southern India that warrants appropriate strategies to prevent this condition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To examine the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in interleukin (IL) genes and keratitis and its clinical manifestations. METHODS SNPs in IL1B, IL6, CXCL8, IL10, and IL12B were analysed. Differences in frequencies of alleles, genotypes and haplotypes between cases and controls as well as associations between SNPs and clinical variables were calculated by χ2 tests with odds ratios. RESULTS The minor homologous genotype in IL1B rs16944 (p = 0.036; odds ratio (OR) = 2.063, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.048-4.061) and CXCL8 rs4073 (p = 0.041; OR = 0.463, 95% CI: 0.224-0.956) and the heterologous genotypes in IL6 rs1800795 (p = 0.046; OR = 0.563, 95% CI: 0.326-0.972) and IL12B rs2569254 (p = 0.0446; OR = 0.557, 95% CI: 0.314-0.989) or rs730691 (p = 0.0051; OR = 0.451, 95% CI: 0.260-0.784) were associated with keratitis. The minor genotype of rs16944 was associated with severe infection (p = 0.046). The heterologous genotype in rs2569254 was associated with hospital admission, photophobia, and mode of contact lens wear (p ≤ 0.041). The heterologous genotype in rs730691 was associated with blurred vision, discharge, anterior chamber reaction, and mode of wear (p ≤ 0.047). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that SNPs in IL1B and CXCL8 are associated with risk of developing keratitis. The study also found relationships between SNPs and clinical measures of keratitis. The potential for ethnic differences in frequency of SNPs and their association with keratitis should be followed up using different populations.

Abstract
Inhalational therapy, today, happens to be the mainstay of treatment in obstructive airway diseases (OADs), such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and is also in the present, used in a variety of other pulmonary and even non-pulmonary disorders. Hand-held inhalation devices may often be difficult to use, particularly for children, elderly, debilitated or distressed patients. Nebulization therapy emerges as a good option in these cases besides being useful in the home care, emergency room and critical care settings. With so many advancements taking place in nebulizer technology; availability of a plethora of drug formulations for its use, and the widening scope of this therapy; medical practitioners, respiratory therapists, and other health care personnel face the challenge of choosing appropriate inhalation devices and drug formulations, besides their rational application and use in different clinical situations. Adequate maintenance of nebulizer equipment including their disinfection and storage are the other relevant issues requiring guidance. Injudicious and improper use of nebulizers and their poor maintenance can sometimes lead to serious health hazards, nosocomial infections, transmission of infection, and other adverse outcomes. Thus, it is imperative to have a proper national guideline on nebulization practices to bridge the knowledge gaps amongst various health care personnel involved in this practice. It will also serve as an educational and scientific resource for healthcare professionals, as well as promote future research by identifying neglected and ignored areas in this field. Such comprehensive guidelines on this subject have not been available in the country and the only available proper international guidelines were released in 1997 which have not been updated for a noticeably long period of over two decades, though many changes and advancements have taken place in this technology in the recent past. Much of nebulization practices in the present may not be evidence-based and even some of these, the way they are currently used, may be ineffective or even harmful. Recognizing the knowledge deficit and paucity of guidelines on the usage of nebulizers in various settings such as inpatient, out-patient, emergency room, critical care, and domiciliary use in India in a wide variety of indications to standardize nebulization practices and to address many other related issues; National College of Chest Physicians (India), commissioned a National task force consisting of eminent experts in the field of Pulmonary Medicine from different backgrounds and different parts of the country to review the available evidence from the medical literature on the scientific principles and clinical practices of nebulization therapy and to formulate evidence-based guidelines on it. The guideline is based on all possible literature that could be explored with the best available evidence and incorporating expert opinions. To support the guideline with high-quality evidence, a systematic search of the electronic databases was performed to identify the relevant studies, position papers, consensus reports, and recommendations published. Rating of the level of the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendation was done using the GRADE system. Six topics were identified, each given to one group of experts comprising of advisors, chairpersons, convenor and members, and such six groups (A-F) were formed and the consensus recommendations of each group was included as a section in the guidelines (Sections I to VI). The topics included were: A. Introduction, basic principles and technical aspects of nebulization, types of equipment, their choice, use, and maintenance B. Nebulization therapy in obstructive airway diseases C. Nebulization therapy in the intensive care unit D. Use of various drugs (other than bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids) by nebulized route and miscellaneous uses of nebulization therapy E. Domiciliary/Home/Maintenance nebulization therapy; public & health care workers education, and F. Nebulization therapy in COVID-19 pandemic and in patients of other contagious viral respiratory infections (included later considering the crisis created due to COVID-19 pandemic). Various issues in different sections have been discussed in the form of questions, followed by point-wise evidence statements based on the existing knowledge, and recommendations have been formulated.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the clinical profiles, presenting ocular features, and variations in the phenotypic features in siblings with oculocutaneous albinism (OCA). Methods: Electronic medical records of consecutive siblings diagnosed with albinism from January 2016 to December 2020 were reviewed to identify the affected siblings. The variations in their phenotypic characteristics were studied. Results: Significant variations were observed in the clinical features between the siblings (n = 42). A difference of >2 lines in visual acuity was observed in 50% (n = 21) of the sibling pairs. Compound hyperopic astigmatism was the commonest refractive error. The refractive status was different in 80.95% (n = 34) pairs. Although individually strabismus and abnormal head posture were observed in one-third and one-fourth of individual children, respectively, both siblings with similar strabismus were seen in only 16.67% (n = 7) and with a similar abnormal head posture in 13.33% (n = 5). Nystagmus was the most consistent finding across these siblings with a similar nature of horizontal jerk or pendular in 65% of sibling pairs. Conclusion: This study observed significant variations in phenotypic presentations among siblings with OCA. Such differences in clinical manifestations and severity would be helpful in appropriate counseling of these families as the need for rehabilitation services is likely to vary across siblings.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in the diagnostic evaluation of patients with frequent premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) remains unclear. Existing data has been predominantly derived from highly selected populations, that may overestimate the true prevalence of abnormal findings on CMR in this patient population.
Purpose
The aim of this study was 2-fold: 1) to establish the prevalence of CMR imaging abnormalities in a cohort with normal LVEF and high PVC burden; 2) to identify predictors of CMR imaging abnormalities in patients with frequent PVCs and normal LVEF.
Methods
In this cohort study, 211 patients (age 53.2±19 years; 41% male) with frequent PVCs (≥5%/24 h), of normal LVEF (≥50% by echocardiography) and no known underlying structural heart disease were prospectively enrolled from 2016–2020. Of these, 166 (79%) patients were symptomatic from their PVCs in the form of palpitations, fatigue, chest pain, dizziness, and/or dyspnea. Patients underwent CMR imaging (1.5 Tesla) with a late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) protocol at the time of enrollment for the detection of scarring and/or fibrosis.
Results
Patients had a median baseline echocardiographic LVEF of 60% (± 5%) with 195 (92%) of patients having a normal native QRS morphology. Median PVC burden of the study cohort was 16% (± 14%). CMR LGE abnormalities were found in 19 (9%) patients including 17 scans with non-ischemic LGE and 2 with ischemic LGE. Age >60 (odds ratio [OR]: 3.20, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.20–8.51, p=0.020), male sex (OR: 4.67, 95% CI: 1.61–13.50, p=0.004), history of hypertension (OR: 3.43, 95% CI: 1.31–8.97, p=0.012), native QRS duration (OR: 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00–1.05, p=0.031), and history of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (OR: 2.81, 95% CI: 1.03–7.68, p=0.044) were significantly associated with the presence of imaging abnormalities on CMR. Dominant PVC origin from the left ventricle had a positive trend (OR: 2.60, 95% CI: 0.99–7.66, p=0.083) to association with CMR imaging abnormalities. On multivariate analysis, male sex (OR: 4.10, 95% CI: 1.40–12.04, p=0.010) and history of hypertension (OR: 2.89, 95% CI: 1.08–7.75, p=0.035) remained significantly associated with the presence of CMR abnormalities. There was no association between CMR imaging abnormalities and the burden of PVCs or the number of PVC morphologies.
Conclusion
In this cohort, only 9% of patients with apparently idiopathic frequent PVCs and normal LVEF had concealed myocardial abnormalities on CMR imaging. Male sex and history of hypertension were associated with a higher rate of CMR abnormalities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report on the 15-year incidence of primary angle closure disease (PACD) among participants aged ≥40 years in rural southern India DESIGN: Population-based longitudinal incidence rate study METHODS: Setting: 3 rural study centres. STUDY POPULATION Phakic participants aged ≥40 years who participated in both examination time points. OBSERVATION PROCEDURES All participants at the baseline and at the mean 15-year follow-up visit underwent a detailed interview, anthropometry, blood pressure measurement, and comprehensive eye examination. Automated perimetry was attempted based on predefined criteria. Main outcome measures included development of any form of PACD, as defined by the International Society for Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology (ISGEO), during the follow-up period in phakic participants, who did not have the disease at baseline. RESULTS We analyzed data obtained from 1,197 (81.4% out of available 1,470) participants to calculate the incidence of the disease. The mean age (standard deviation) of the study participants at the baseline was 50.2 (8.1) years, with 670 male (45.5%) and 800 female (54.4%) participants. The incidence rate per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval) for primary angle closure suspect, primary angle closure, and primary angle closure glaucoma was 8.8 (8.4, 9.2), 6.2 (5.9, 6.6), and 1.6 (1.4, 1.8), respectively. Thus, the incidence of all forms of PACD was 16.4 (15.9, 17) per 100 person-years. On logistic regression analysis, female gender was a significant risk factor whereas presence of myopia was protective. CONCLUSIONS This study reports long-term incidence of PACD from rural India. It has implications for eye health care policies, strategies, and planning.

Abstract
Chronically elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the major risk factor of primary open-angle glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. Dysfunction of the trabecular meshwork (TM), which controls the outflow of aqueous humor (AqH) from the anterior chamber, is the major cause of elevated IOP. Here, we demonstrate that mice deficient in the Krüppel-like zinc finger transcriptional factor GLI-similar-1 (GLIS1) develop chronically elevated IOP. Magnetic resonance imaging and histopathological analysis reveal that deficiency in GLIS1 expression induces progressive degeneration of the TM, leading to inefficient AqH drainage from the anterior chamber and elevated IOP. Transcriptome and cistrome analyses identified several glaucoma- and extracellular matrix-associated genes as direct transcriptional targets of GLIS1. We also identified a significant association between GLIS1 variant rs941125 and glaucoma in humans (P = 4.73 × 10-6), further supporting a role for GLIS1 into glaucoma etiology. Our study identifies GLIS1 as a critical regulator of TM function and maintenance, AqH dynamics, and IOP.

Abstract
We describe an analysis comparing the pp[over ¯] elastic cross section as measured by the D0 Collaboration at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV to that in pp collisions as measured by the TOTEM Collaboration at 2.76, 7, 8, and 13 TeV using a model-independent approach. The TOTEM cross sections, extrapolated to a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV, are compared with the D0 measurement in the region of the diffractive minimum and the second maximum of the pp cross section. The two data sets disagree at the 3.4σ level and thus provide evidence for the t-channel exchange of a colorless, C-odd gluonic compound, also known as the odderon. We combine these results with a TOTEM analysis of the same C-odd exchange based on the total cross section and the ratio of the real to imaginary parts of the forward elastic strong interaction scattering amplitude in pp scattering for which the significance is between 3.4σ and 4.6σ. The combined significance is larger than 5σ and is interpreted as the first observation of the exchange of a colorless, C-odd gluonic compound.

Abstract
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of endothelial cell function. Here, we investigated the role of a novel vascular endothelial‐associated lncRNA (VEAL2) in regulating endothelial permeability. Precise editing of veal2 loci in zebrafish (veal2gib005Δ8/+) induced cranial hemorrhage. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that veal2 competes with diacylglycerol for interaction with protein kinase C beta‐b (Prkcbb) and regulates its kinase activity. Using PRKCB2 as bait, we identified functional ortholog of veal2 in humans from HUVECs and named it as VEAL2. Overexpression and knockdown of VEAL2 affected tubulogenesis and permeability in HUVECs. VEAL2 was differentially expressed in choroid tissue in eye and blood from patients with diabetic retinopathy, a disease where PRKCB2 is known to be hyperactivated. Further, VEAL2 could rescue the effects of PRKCB2‐mediated turnover of endothelial junctional proteins thus reducing hyperpermeability in hyperglycemic HUVEC model of diabetic retinopathy. Based on evidence from zebrafish and hyperglycemic HUVEC models and diabetic retinopathy patients, we report a hitherto unknown VEAL2 lncRNA‐mediated regulation of PRKCB2, for modulating junctional dynamics and maintenance of endothelial permeability.

Abstract
Introduction We report on the case of a 15 year old young person with a known diagnosis of autism presenting with a rapid and acute regression in functional abilities, decline in expressive speech and bizarre posturing. The symptoms first started during lockdown (April 2020) with anxiety related to school work followed by urinary incontinence, insomnia, muttering to self and incongruent smiling. Initial medical investigations including MRI, lumbar puncture and 24hour EEG were inconclusive, so she was referred to Paediatric Liaison for assessment. Objectives We demonstrate the value of a child psychiatry liaison service being involved with young people in an acute medical hospital Methods This young person had a thorough psychiatric assessment. Results Through daily psychiatric assessment and reviews with the young person, her parent, social care, wider community team, school and Paediatric Inpatient ward in order to expand on the understanding of the young person and develop a case formulation. She was started on oral Olanzapine 2.5mg which was gradually increased to 10mg OD with minimal improvement. Conclusions Childhood Disintegrative Disorder (CDD or Heller’s Syndrome) is a rare pervasive disorder presenting as a loss of previously acquired skills after at least two years of normal development. Despite no longer being included in DSM-V, it is important for Psychiatrists to have a working knowledge of CDD and consider other differentials when assessing young people. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
The disease-initiating molecular events for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a multifactorial retinal disease affecting many millions of elderly individuals worldwide, are still unknown. Of the over 30 risk and protective loci so far associated with AMD through whole genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the Age-Related Maculopathy Susceptibility 2 (ARMS2) gene locus represents one of the most highly associated risk regions for AMD. A unique insertion/deletion (in/del) sequence located immediately upstream of the High Temperature Requirement A1 (HTRA1) gene in this region confers high risk for AMD. Using electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), we identified that two Gtf2i-β/δ transcription factor isoforms bind to the cis-element 5'- ATTAATAACC-3' contained in this in/del sequence. The binding of these transcription factors leads to enhanced upregulation of transcription of the secretory serine protease HTRA1 in transfected cells and AMD patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Overexpression of Htra1 in mice using a CAG-promoter demonstrated increased blood concentration of Htra1 protein, caused upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and produced a choroidal neovascularization (CNV)-like phenotype. Finally, a comparison of 478 AMD patients to 481 healthy, age-matched controls from Japan, India, Australia, and the USA showed a statistically increased level of secreted HTRA1 blood concentration in AMD patients compared with age-matched controls. Taken together, these results suggest a common mechanism across ethnicities whereby increased systemic blood circulation of secreted serine protease HTRA1 leads to subsequent degradation of Bruch's membrane and eventual CNV in AMD.

Abstract
Curcumin, a constituent of Curcuma longa L-Zingiberaceae is used in traditional Indian and worldwide medicine and shows anticancer and antioxidant properties. Curcumin has numerous biological and pharmacological activities but due to its hydrophobic nature, the major drawback is poor absorption and rapid elimination, rendering curcumin with the tag of a poor biomaterial. Hence, there is a need to develop functional metal containing curcumin model systems (FMCCMS) as a metallo-biomolecule to enhance the bioavailability of curcumin. We designed the interaction of silver metal ion with curcumin to form curcumin-silver nanocomposite (CURC-AgNCP) via ultrasonic synthetic route. Formations of FMCCMS were characterized by spectroscopic techniques. The crystalline face-centered cubic pattern and particle size of the nanocomposite was evaluated using X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The bonding of silver metal to curcumin was confirmed by X-ray photon spectroscopy. Interaction of the nanocomposite with bovine serum albumin (BSA) protein was performed using excitation, emission, and circular dichroism spectroscopy. In binding interaction of BSA, the negative value of ∆S° (-358.04 J mol-1 K-1) and ∆H° (-129.42 KJ mol-1) demonstrates the hydrophilic nature of the nanocomposite. The binding distance r evaluated according to the Forster resonance energy transfer theory and was 4.69 nm for CURC-AgNCP, which suggested non-radiative transfer of energy between CURC-AgNCP and BSA. The role of FMCCMS metallo-biomolecule CURC-AgNCP in medicine for cancer activity can have immense importance and hence we performed Sulphorhodamine B based in-vitro cytotoxicity assay on human breast cancer Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 cell line.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in SNPs in TLR genes between people who had keratitis and controls in an Indian population. METHODS 145 cases of keratitis and 189 matched controls were recruited. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in TLR2 (n = 6), TLR4 (n = 15), TLR5 (n = 13) and TLR9 (n = 10) were analysed. The risk of developing keratitis was assessed based on allele, genotype and haplotype associations. RESULTS For all cases of keratitis, the TLR4 SNP rs4986791 TC genotype frequency was significantly higher in cases (p = 0.006, OR = 1.96, 95 % CI 1.19-3.2). Including cases of only microbial keratitis (MK) revealed that genotypes in TLR2 SNP rs5743706 TA (p = 0.0001; OR = 8.61; 95 % CI 2.59-28.56)), TLR4 SNP s4986791 TC (p = 0.002; OR = 2.65; 95 % CI 1.39-5.07) were significantly more common for MK, whereas the TLR5 SNP rs2241096 A allele (p = 0.00316, OR = 0.42, 95 % CI 0.2-0.9286) and GA genotype (p = 0.016; OR = 0.45; 95 % CI 0.23-0.86) was significantly less common in MK cases. The TLR2 SNP rs5743706 genotype TA was significantly less common in the sterile keratitis (SK) group (p = 0.004, OR = 0.43, 95 %CI 0.24-0.77). Haplotype analysis of MK compared to controls showed that TLR2 AT was more common in controls (p = 0.003); TLR4 ACAC was more common in cases (p = 0.004); TLR5 TGGCA was more common in controls (p = 0.001). CONCLUSION The present study revealed multiple associations between variants across TLR genes, which may have implications for understanding the underlying host factors, risk of developing keratitis and molecular pathogenesis in keratitis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report 15-year incidence rate and associated risk factors of pterygium among people aged 30 years and above at baseline in the rural clusters of longitudinal Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study (APEDS III). METHODS The baseline APEDS I included 7771 participants of which 6447 (83%) were traced and 5395 (83.7%) were re-examined in APEDS III. To estimate the incidence of pterygium, we selected participants who were 30 years and above at baseline (4188), of which 2976 were traced and 2627 (88.3%) were examined, and based on inclusion criteria, 2290 participants were included in the study. The incidence rate of pterygium was defined as the proportion of people free of pterygium at baseline who had developed the condition at 15-year follow-up (range 13-17 years). Univariate and multivariable analyses for risk factors were undertaken. RESULTS The sex-adjusted incidence rate of pterygium was 25.2 per 100 person-years (95% CI 24.8 to 25.7) which was significantly higher for men than women (26.3 per 100 person-years (95% CI 25.6 to 27.0) and 24.7 (95% CI 24.1 to 25.3) respectively). At the multivariable analysis, male gender (RR: 1.35, 95% CI 1.0 to 1.83), no formal education (RR: 2.46, 95% CI 1.22 to 4.93), outdoor occupation (RR: 1.47, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.9) and lower body mass index (BMI) (<18.5) (RR: 1.25, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.55) were associated with increased risk of pterygium. CONCLUSIONS The overall incidence rate of pterygium was high in this rural population, especially in men and those engaged in outdoor activities, lack of formal education and with lower BMI. It is likely that greater exposure to ultraviolet light is a major contributing factor, thus warranting preventive strategies.

Abstract
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting up to 70 million people worldwide. High intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma. It is well established that inefficient aqueous humor (AqH) outflow resulting from structural or functional alterations in ocular drainage tissues causes high IOP, but the genes and pathways involved are poorly understood. We previously demonstrated that mutations in the gene encoding the serine protease PRSS56 induces ocular angle closure and high IOP in mice and identified reduced ocular axial length as a potential contributing factor. Here, we show that Prss56-/- mice also exhibit an abnormal iridocorneal angle configuration characterized by a posterior shift of ocular drainage structures relative to the ciliary body and iris. Notably, we show that retina-derived PRSS56 is required between postnatal days 13 and 18 for proper iridocorneal configuration and that abnormal positioning of the ocular drainage tissues is not dependent on ocular size reduction in Prss56-/- mice. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the genetic context modulates the severity of IOP elevation in Prss56 mutant mice and describe a progressive degeneration of ocular drainage tissues that likely contributes to the exacerbation of the high IOP phenotype observed on the C3H/HeJ genetic background. Finally, we identify five rare PRSS56 variants associated with human primary congenital glaucoma, a condition characterized by abnormal development of the ocular drainage structures. Collectively, our findings point to a role for PRSS56 in the development and maintenance of ocular drainage tissues and IOP homeostasis, and provide new insights into glaucoma pathogenesis.

Abstract
The complement system plays a crucial role in retinal homeostasis. While the proteomic analysis of ocular tissues in diabetic retinopathy (DR) has shown the deposition of complement proteins, their exact role in the pathogenesis of DR is yet unclear. We performed a detailed investigation of the role of the complement system by evaluating the levels of major complement proteins including C3, C1q, C4b, Complement Factor B (CFB), and Complement Factor H (CFH) and their activated fragments from both the classical and alternative pathways in vitreous humor and serum samples from proliferative DR (PDR) patients and controls. Further, the expressions of complements and several other key pro- and anti-angiogenic genes in the serum and vitreous humor were analyzed in the blood samples of PDR and non-PDR (NPDR) patients along with controls without diabetes. We also assessed the pro-inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases in the vitreous humor samples. There was a significant increase in C3 and its activated fragment C3bα' (110 kDa) along with a corresponding upregulation of CFH in the vitreous of PDR patients, which confirmed the increased activation of the alternative complement pathway in PDR. Likewise, a significant upregulation of angiogenic genes and downregulation of anti-angiogenic genes was seen in PDR and NPDR cases. Increased MMP9 activity and upregulation of inflammatory markers IL8 and sPECAM with a downregulation of anti-inflammatory marker IL-10 in PDR vitreous indicated the possible involvement of microglia in DR pathogenesis. Further, a significantly high C3 deposition in the capillary wall along with thickening of basement membranes and co-localization of CFH expression with CD11b+ve activated microglial cells in diabetic retina suggested microglia as a source of CFH in diabetic retina. The increased CFH levels could be a feedback mechanism for arresting excessive complement activation in DR eyes. A gradual increase of CFH and CD11b expression in retina with early to late changes in epiretinal membranes of DR patients indicated a major role for the alternative complement pathway in disease progression.

Abstract
The detailed mechanisms underlying oxidative stress that leads to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in retinal vascular conditions, including diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity etc., remain largely unexplored mainly due to a lack of suitable disease models that can simulate the inherent neuron-glia interactions in human retina. Specifically, establishment of a mixed retinal culture (MRC) containing both neuron and glial cell types remains a challenge due to different conditions required for their optimal growth and differentiation. Here, we establish a novel primary MRC model system containing neurons, astrocytes, Müller glia, and microglia from human donor retina that can be used to study the neuromodulatory effects of glial cells under the stress. The cell characterization based on immunostaining with individual cell type-specific markers and their presence in close vicinity to each other further underscores their utility for studying their cross talk. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first instance of an in vitro model obtained from human donor retina containing four major cell types. Next, we induce hypoxic stress to MRC to investigate if hypoxia activated neuroglia modulates altered gene expression for inflammatory, apoptotic, and angiogenic markers and Ca2+ transients by live cell imaging. Further, we performed k-means clustering of the Ca2+ responses to identify the modification of clustering pattern in stressed condition. Finally, we provide the evidence that the altered Ca2+ transient correlates to differential expression of genes shown to be involved in neuroinflammation, angiogenesis, and neurodegeneration under the hypoxic conditions as seen earlier in human cell lines and animal models of diabetic retinopathy. The major features of the hypoxic conditions in the proposed human MRC model included: increase in microglia activity, chemokine and cytokine expression, and percentage of cells having higher amplitude and frequency of Ca2+ transients. Thus, the proposed experimental system can potentially serve as an ideal in vitro model for studying the neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative changes in the retina and identifying newer drug targets.

Abstract
Developing suitable medicines for genetic diseases requires a detailed understanding of not only the pathways that cause the disease, but also the identification of the genetic components involved in disease manifestation. This article focuses on the complexities associated with ocular ciliopathies - a class of debilitating disorders of the eye caused by ciliary dysfunction. Ciliated cell types have been identified in both the anterior and posterior segments of the eye. Photoreceptors (rods and cones) are the most studied ciliated neurons in the retina, which is located in the posterior eye. The photoreceptors contain a specialized lightsensing outer segment, or cilium. Any defects in the development or maintenance of the outer segment can result in severe retinal ciliopathies, such as retinitis pigmentosa and Leber congenital amaurosis. A role of cilia in the cell types involved in regulating aqueous fluid outflow in the anterior segment of the eye has also been recognized. Defects in these cell types are frequently associated with some forms of glaucoma. Here, we will discuss the significance of understanding the genetic heterogeneity and the pathogenesis of ocular ciliopathies to develop suitable treatment strategies for these blinding disorders.

Abstract
AimTo evaluate glaucoma-associated mortality in a rural cohort in India.MethodsThe study cohort comprised individuals aged 40 years and above who took part in the Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study (APEDS1) during 1996–2000. All participants underwent detailed comprehensive eye examination. Glaucoma was defined using International Society of Geographic and Epidemiologic Ophthalmology criteria. This cohort was followed up after a decade (June 2009 to January 2010; APEDS2). Mortality HR analysis for ocular risk factors was performed using Cox proportional hazards regression after adjusting for sociodemographic, lifestyle and clinical variables.ResultsIn APEDS1, 2790 individuals aged more than or equal to 40 years were examined. 47.4% were male. Forty-five participants had primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and 66 had primary angle closure disease (PACD). Ten years later, 1879 (67.3%) were available, 739 (26.5%) had died and 172 (6.2%) had migrated; whereas 22 of the 45 (48.8%) with POAG and 22 of the 66 (33.3%) with PACD had died. In univariate analysis, a higher mortality was associated with POAG (HR 1.9; 95% CI 1.23 to 2.94), pseudoexfoliation (HR 2.79; 95% CI 2.0 to 3.89), myopia (HR 1.78; 95% CI 1.54 to 2.06) and unit increase in cup:disc ratio (HR 4.49; 95% CI 2.64 to 7.64). In multivariable analysis, only cup:disc ratio remained independently associated with mortality (HR 2.5; 95% CI 1.3 to 5.1). The association remained significant when other ocular parameters were included in the model (HR 2.1; 95% CI 1.03 to 4.2).ConclusionsThis is the first longitudinal study to assess the association of glaucoma and mortality in a rural longitudinal cohort in India. Increased cup:disc ratio could be a potential marker for ageing and would need further validation.

Abstract
We present a measurement of the effective weak mixing angle parameter sin^{2}θ_{eff}^{ℓ} in pp[over ¯]→Z/γ^{*}→μ^{+}μ^{-} events at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider and corresponding to 8.6 fb^{-1} of integrated luminosity. The measured value of sin^{2}θ_{eff}^{ℓ}[μμ]=0.23016±0.00064 is further combined with the result from the D0 measurement in pp[over ¯]→Z/γ^{*}→e^{+}e^{-} events, resulting in sin^{2}θ_{eff}^{ℓ}[comb]=0.23095±0.00040. This combined result is the most precise measurement from a single experiment at a hadron collider and is the most precise determination using the coupling of the Z/γ^{*} to light quarks.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tobacco consumption is the major risk factor for developing head and neck squamous cell cancer (SCC). The site of development of HNSCC may depend on the way the tobacco is consumed. While laryngeal cancers are more common among smokers, oral cancers are more common among tobacco chewers. Since the use of smokeless tobacco is increasing, it is important to know whether this difference is restricted only to site wise distribution or it has other clinical and pathological implications. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed a prospectively collected dataset of HNSCC patients other than nasopharyngeal cancers attending our outpatient department at a single unit of the head and neck services at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai, India, between January 2010 and September 2011. There were 747 eligible patients and were divided into three groups: Those with chewing as the only habit (chewers), those with smoking as the only habit (smokers), and those with no habits. Patients with regular use of alcohol were excluded from the study. The clinical and pathological parameters were analyzed. RESULTS Of the 747 patients, the tobacco chewers formed 69.3% followed by smokers (19.5%) and patients with no habits (11.1%). Majority of smokers were men (98%). Site distribution revealed patients with chewing as the only habit had oral cancers (most commonly gingivobuccal complex cancers) as the most common site and those with smoking as the only habit had larynx as the most common site. In patients with no habits, oral tongue was found to be the most common site. No statistically significant pathological differences were observed in between these groups in patients who underwent surgery (n = 366) at the initial modality of treatment. CONCLUSIONS There is a direct relationship between the form of tobacco use and site of appearance of HNSCC. However, there are no differences in clinical or pathological parameters between HNSCC caused by tobacco chewing or tobacco smoking.

Abstract
The CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron have measured the asymmetry between yields of forward- and backward-produced top and antitop quarks based on their rapidity difference and the asymmetry between their decay leptons. These measurements use the full data sets collected in proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV. We report the results of combinations of the inclusive asymmetries and their differential dependencies on relevant kinematic quantities. The combined inclusive asymmetry is A_{FB}^{tt[over ¯]}=0.128±0.025. The combined inclusive and differential asymmetries are consistent with recent standard model predictions.

Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a neurovascular complication in preterm babies, leading to severe visual impairment, but the underlying mechanisms are yet unclear. The present study aimed at unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of ROP. A comprehensive screening of candidate genes in preterms with ROP (n = 189) and no-ROP (n = 167) was undertaken to identify variants conferring disease susceptibility. Allele and genotype frequencies, linkage disequilibrium and haplotypes were analyzed to identify the ROP-associated variants. Variants in CFH (p = 2.94 × 10−7), CFB (p = 1.71 × 10−5), FBLN5 (p = 9.2 × 10−4), CETP (p = 2.99 × 10−5), and CXCR4 (p = 1.32 × 10−8) genes exhibited significant associations with ROP. Further, a quantitative assessment of 27 candidate proteins and cytokines in the vitreous and tear samples of babies with severe ROP (n = 30) and congenital cataract (n = 30) was undertaken by multiplex bead arrays and further validated by western blotting and zymography. Significant elevation and activation of MMP9 (p = 0.038), CFH (p = 2.24 × 10−5), C3 (p = 0.05), C4 (p = 0.001), IL-1ra (p = 0.0019), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (p = 0.0027), and G-CSF (p = 0.0099) proteins were observed in the vitreous of ROP babies suggesting an increased inflammation under hypoxic condition. Along with inflammatory markers, activated macrophage/microglia were also detected in the vitreous of ROP babies that secreted complement component C3, VEGF, IL-1ra, and MMP-9 under hypoxic stress in a cell culture model. Increased expression of the inflammatory markers like the IL-1ra (p = 0.014), MMP2 (p = 0.0085), and MMP-9 (p = 0.03) in the tears of babies at different stages of ROP further demonstrated their potential role in disease progression. Based on these findings, we conclude that increased complement activation in the retina/vitreous in turn activated microglia leading to increased inflammation. A quantitative assessment of inflammatory markers in tears could help in early prediction of ROP progression and facilitate effective management of the disease, thereby preventing visual impairment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the positive aspects of caregiving and its correlates (socio-demographic and clinical variables, caregiver burden, coping, quality of life, psychological morbidity) in the primary caregivers of patients with bipolar affective disorder (BPAD). METHODS A total of 60 primary caregivers of patients with a diagnosis of BPAD were evaluated on the Scale for Positive Aspects of Caregiving Experience (SPACE) and the Hindi version of Involvement Evaluation Questionnaire, Family Burden Interview Schedule (FBIS), modified Hindi version of Coping Checklist, shorter Hindi version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF), and Hindi translated version of 12-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). RESULTS Caregivers of patients with BPAD had the highest mean score in the SPACE domain of Motivation for caregiving role (2.45), followed by Caregiver satisfaction (2.38) and Caregiving personal gains (2.20). The mean score was the lowest for the domain of Self-esteem and social aspect of caring (2.01). In terms of correlations, age of onset of BPAD had a negative correlation with various domains of SPACE. The mean number of total lifetime affective and depressive episodes correlated positively with Self-esteem and social aspect of caring. Caregiver satisfaction correlated negatively with FBIS domains of Disruption of routine family activities, Effect on mental health of others, and subjective burden. Coercion as a coping mechanism correlated positively with domains of Caregiving personal gains, Caregiver satisfaction, and the total score on SPACE. Three (Physical health, Psychological health, Environment) out of 5 domains of the WHOQOL-BREF correlated positively with the total SPACE score. No association was noted between GHQ-12 and SPACE scores. CONCLUSION Positive caregiving experience in primary caregivers of patients with BPAD is associated with better quality of life of the caregivers.
