Do refractive outcomes of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation after pars plana vitrectomy?
Phacoemulsification after pars plana vitrectomy showed no significant difference between the predicted refraction by preoperative data and the actual postoperative refraction.
We found no differences in the isolation and expansion capacity of Endothelial Colony Forming Cells (ECFCs) from cord blood of term and preterm neonates: both groups grew in vitro large number of endothelial cells until the third generation and showed a transitional phenotype between mesenchymal stem cells and endothelial progenitors (CD73, CD31, CD34 and CD144)The presence, in the cord blood of preterm babies, of high number of immature hematopoietic progenitors and endothelial/mesenchymal stem cells with high proliferative potential makes this tissue an important source of cells for developing new cells therapies.
