Peptide Nucleic Acid-Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization for Detection of Staphylococci From Endophthalmitis Isolates: A Proof-of-Concept Study.

abstract：PURPOSE:Modalities for inhibiting neovascularization may be one avenue to the development of effective therapies for retinopathy. The effect of squalamine, an antiangiogenic amino sterol, on oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) was assessed in a mouse model. METHODS:OIR was induced in C57BL6 mice by a 5-day exposure to 75...
