Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the phenotype of conjunctival epithelial cells auto-cultivated in vivo on human amniotic membrane (CIVAMs) in rabbits for ocular surface reconstruction. Methods: A fornix based-conjunctival flap 8 mm in diameter was made in 12 eyes of rabbits. Amniotic membrane was implanted into the conjunctival defects. Rabbit conjunctival epithelial cells were cultivated in vivo on amniotic membrane for a week. A frozen section was made of the excised specimen. To investigate the phenotype of CIVAMs, Hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemical staining to anti-MUC5AC (monoclonal antibody to conjunctival goblet cell mucin), and transmission electron microscopy were performed. Results: In 11 of 12 eyes, conjunctival epithelial cells grew successfully on amniotic membrane. Light microscopy demonstrated two to three layers of cuboidal epithelial cells and two to three layers of stratified epithelial cells in CIVAMs. CIVAMs exhibited non-goblet epithelial differentiation as determined by immunohistochemistry to anti-MUC5AC. Transmission electron microscopy of CIVAMs showed fine structure similar to that of normal conjunctival epithelial cells. Conclusions: CIVAMs showed morphological findings similar to normal conjunctival epithelial cells and are expected to accomplish more rapid reconjunctivalization than simple amniotic membrane transplantation. We expect that CIVAMs will be adopted in treating conjunctival burn, symblepharon, conjunctiva-scleral ulcer, and filtering bleb leakage with conjunctival defects.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of the lateral tarsal strip procedure in the treatment of lacrimal pump dysfunction related to lower lid laxity. Methods: This study investigated 46 eyes of 35 patients diagnosed with dysfunction of the lacrimal pump on which the lateral tarsal strip procedure was performed between June 2001 and February 2004. We retrospectively reviewed patients’ medical records for information including age, gender, history, follow-up period, change of fluorescein dye disappearance test (DDT), tear meniscus height (TMH), symptoms, and complications. Results: Improvement of tearing was noted in 26 patients (78.8%). Thirty-seven eyes (80.5%) were improved by more than 1 grade on DDT. Significant improvement above 2 grades was observed in 16 eyes (34.7%). With respect to age, 62.5% of 3rd-decade patients improved most effectively by more than 2 grades on DDT. Postoperative TMH compared with preoperative TMH measures were significantly lower according to statistics. The most common complication was discomfort or tenderness over the orbital rim (13.0%). Conclusions: Performance of the lateral tarsal strip procedure for tearing caused by dysfunction of the lacrimal pump and related to lower lid laxity improved patients’ tearing, DDT and TMH status. We therefore expect the lateral tarsal strip procedure to be effective in the surgical treatment of lacrimal pump dysfunction secondary to lower eyelid laxity.

Gold have been used as an electrode materials having a good mechanical flexibility as well as electrical conductivity, however the stretchability of the gold on a flexible substrate is poor because of its small elastic modulus. To overcome this mechanical inferiority, the reinforcing gold is necessary for the stretchable electronics. Among the reinforcing materials having a large elastic modulus, carbon nanotube (CNT) is the best candidate due to its good electrical conductivity and nanoscale diameter. Therefore, similarly to ferroconcrete technology, here we demonstrated gold electrodes mechanically reinforced by inserting fabrics of CNTs into their bodies. Flexibility and stretchability of the electrodes were determined for various densities of CNT fabrics. The roles of CNTs in resisting electrical disconnection of gold electrodes from the mechanical stress were confirmed using field emission scanning electron microscope and optical microscope. The best mechanical stability was achieved at a density of CNT fabrics manufactured by 1.5 ml spraying. The concept of the mechanical reinforced metal electrode by CNT is the first trial for the high stretchable conductive materials, and can be applied as electrodes materials in various flexible and stretchable electronic devices such as transistor, diode, sensor and solar cell and so on.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common sensorimotor disorder that is characterized by an urge to move the legs and peculiar, unpleasant sensations deep in the legs and its prevalence in the general population is between 3.2% and 15%. RLS significantly impairs patients' lives, often by severely disrupting sleep. However, both clinicians and patients under-recognize the RLS. RLS phenotypes include an idiopathic form and secondary form that is usually resulted from various causative conditions. The pathophysiology of RLS may be related with the dopaminergic system, which is closely linked to a number of psychotropic medications, including antidepressant and antipsychotics. Several antidepressants and antipsychotics have been shown to induce or exacerbate RLS. We need pay attention to the fact that commonly prescribed medications can be the cause of RLS.

Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus incorporates multi-disciplinary literary categories, including postmodernism, magic realism and (post)feminism. The female protagonist Sofie Fevvers, half woman and half beast, offers a plethora of both imaginative and rational views on ontological and social nature of life, embracing fantasy/realism and fiction/fact. However, Nights at the Circus may simply be a “romance novel,” of which the main theme lies in a heterosexual love story and the forthcoming marriage as a matter of course. At the end of the novel, the conjoined couple does not surprise the readers in spite of their differences in physicality, for the happy ending is easily predicted from the beginning as other traditional romance novels are. Nevertheless, it is far from a simple task to visualize such a drastic romantic union between a monstrous female beast and a man, unless the hybridity of her grotesque body is successfully provoked and imagined. That is, to understand Nights at the Circus as a romance novel is to deconstruct and reinvent the romance genre by liberating layers of historical and political demarcation engraved in the body of female; furthermore it is to set the possibility for women, in Carter’s words, to “fuck in the active sense,” so that “be able to fuck their way into history and, in doing so, change it.” It is the very “moral” aspect of this romance novel that demystifies the conventional archetypes of both women and love, and opens up the new narratives of love, namely “herstorical” novel.

David Dabydeen`s 1991 novel The Intended is a Bildungsroman in which a Guyanese-born black British boy`s adolescent years unfold in a gloomy part of the metropolitan city of London. Although this story does follow the general rules of a coming-of-age story narrative which focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood within the given time-spacial circumstances, Dabydeen`s story suggests a new king of Bildungsroman narrative by violating typical time sequence and spatial order. First, the novel progresses towards the future yet simultaneously regresses to the past as the narrative ebbs and flows regardless of the current events. Moreover, though not easily detected during the initial reading, the narrative presents a deft technique of mixing two different tenses when the novel reaches its climax of the character`s change. The mixing of the tenses blurs the definite boundary of the time past, present and future, as if it imitates the broken or limited English of the colonized. The second factor that distinguishes the novel from the traditional Bildungsroman narrative is the filmographic employment of overlapping the special images of England and Guyana through the juxtaposition of the geography of London and/vs Albion Village, and the winding roads of the empire and/vs the image of the old grandma`s cracked feet. Then the overlapping spatial disorder expands to the literary space of Joseph Conrad`s Heart of Darkness which provides an intriguing roles of an allegory and a paradox. In so doing The intended represents a unique pattern of individual growth that differentiates itself from the white British or European value of Bildung.
