A 43-year-old woman had laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) using the IntraLase femtosecond laser (IntraLASIK) to create 110 microm flaps. Despite uneventful flap formation, the flaps in both eyes were extremely thin, making it difficult to lift them. The flap in the right eye resembled an epi-LASIK epithelial flap. It was lifted uneventfully. The flap in the left eye was stretched and torn on lifting, and the procedure was therefore postponed. After 6 months, the IntraLASIK surgical procedure was repeated in the left eye using a thicker and smaller flap than in the first procedure. Despite the improvements associated with using an IntraLase femtosecond laser, thinner-than-intended corneal flaps can occur. Early recognition of such a flap can prevent further complications.

Here, we report a sol-gel integrated affinity microarray for on-chip matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) that enables capture and identification of prostate?specific antigen (PSA) in samples. An anti-PSA antibody (H117) was mixed with a sol?gel, and the mixture was spotted onto a porous silicon (pSi) surface without additional surface modifications. The antibody easily penetrates the sol-gel macropore fluidic network structure, making possible high affinities. To assess the capture affinity of the platform, we performed a direct assay using fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled PSA. Pure PSA was subjected to on-chip MALDI-TOF-MS analysis, yielding three clear mass peptide peaks (m/z = 1272, 1407, and 1872). The sol-gel microarray platform enables dual readout of PSA both fluorometric and MALDI-TOF MS analysis in biological samples. Here we report a useful method for a means for discovery of biomarkers in complex body fluids.

Spontaneous wrinkling of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface was induced by repeated thermal shrinkage of liquid PDMS coated onto a cured PDMS layer. We investigated and evaluated the potential of the resulting surface as a cell culture substrate by monitoring the viability, spreading area, and proliferation rate of MG-63 cells cultured on native, wrinkled, and poly-L-lysine (PLL)-coated PDMS surfaces. Cells seeded on the wrinkled and PLL-coated PDMS surfaces spread and adhered better than those on native surfaces. The numbers of attached cells growing on wrinkled and PLL-coated PDMS surfaces were higher than those of cells on a native PDMS surface. The spreading area of cells on the wrinkled surface was similar to that of cells on the PLL-coated surface, and was much larger than that on native PDMS. The proliferation rate of cells on the wrinkled surface was more than double that of cells on native PDMS. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of integrin mRNA expression showed that cells on the wrinkled surface were more tightly attached due to higher expression of the protein than exhibited in cells on native PDMS. Thus, the novel findings of this study are that the induction of a wrinkled PDMS surface through a simple curing process produces a suitable cell culture substrate without need of surface modification, and that its effectiveness is comparable to that of a PLL-coated PDMS surface.

Apple Scar Skin Viroid (ASSVd), a nonprotein coding, circular RNA pathogen is relatively difficult to detect by immunoassay. We report here a one-step reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay to improve selectivity for diagnostic use in detecting ASSVd in plants. ASSVd RT-LAMP was accelerated using loop primers and was found to be highly sensitive with a detection limit of 10 copies of cDNA-ASSVd within 30 min. Real-time LAMP and melting curve analysis could differentiate between the true-positive LAMP amplicons and false-positive nonspecific primer amplification products. The optimized RT-LAMP was then followed by the addition of nonthiolated AuNP:poly-adenine (A10)-ASSVd LAMP barcodes, showing a high authentication capacity with colorimetric changes. This type of barcoding assay is a potential alternative for rapid and multiple viroid diagnosis, providing for visible sensing in the field that can be applied to viroid-free planting.
