Purpose: To hypothesize the protective role of vitrectomy on the natural course of diabetic retinopathy. Methods: Case report. Results: A 66-year-old lady with a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus since the age of 10 was referred for evaluation. She received laser treatment in her left eye for proliferative diabetic retinopathy 6 years earlier, while her right eye underwent vitrectomy for retinal detachment 17 years before. Diabetic retinopathy was found to be substantially asymmetrical, as the vitrectomized right eye had only mild macular edema without significant vascular abnormalities, whereas the left eye had a complete confluent panretinal photocoagulation with advanced atrophic macular changes. Other reasons for this asymmetry, such as axial length disparity, carotid circulation impairment, or history of branch retinal vein occlusion, were not identified. Conclusions: Vitreous removal, performed for a reason other than diabetic retinopathy, may inhibit the retinal complications often associated with longstanding diabetes. Further clinical studies should be considered to ascertain such evidence.

Abstract Recently, we have read with great interest the article published by Ibarrola et al. (Clin. Sci. (Lond.) (2018) 132, 1471–1485), which used proteomics and immunodetection methods to show that Galectin-3 (Gal-3) down-regulated the antioxidant peroxiredoxin-4 (Prx-4) in cardiac fibroblasts. Authors concluded that ‘antioxidant activity of Prx-4 had been identified as a protein down-regulated by Gal-3. Moreover, Gal-3 induced a decrease in total antioxidant capacity which resulted in a consequent increase in peroxide levels and oxidative stress markers in cardiac fibroblasts.’ We would like to point out some results stated in the article that need further investigation and more detailed discussion to clarify certain factors involved in the protective role of Prx-4 in heart failure.

The Relationship

Parenting behaviors – specifically behaviors characterized by high control, intrusiveness, rejection, and overprotection – and effortful control have each been implicated in the development of anxiety pathology. However, little research has examined the protective role of effortful control in the relation between parenting and anxiety symptoms, specifically among adults. Thus, we sought to explore the unique and interactive effects of parenting and effortful control on anxiety among adults (N = 162). Results suggest that effortful control uniquely contributes to anxiety symptoms above and beyond that of any parenting behavior. Furthermore, effortful control acted as a moderator of the relationship between parental overprotection and anxiety, such that overprotection is associated with anxiety only in individuals with lower levels of effortful control. Implications for potential prevention and intervention efforts which specifically target effortful control are discussed. These findings underscore the importance of considering individual differences in self-regulatory abilities when examining associations between putative early-life risk factors, such as parenting, and anxiety symptoms.
