To study dynamic PPIs, real-time methods such as Förster resonance energy transfer and bioluminescence resonance energy transfer can provide high temporal resolution, but they only allow PPI detection in a limited area at a time and do not permit post-PPI analysis or manipulation of the cells. Integration methods such as the yeast two-hybrid system and split protein systems integrate PPI signals over time and allow subsequent analysis, but they lose information on dynamics. To address some of these limitations, an assay named SPARK (Specific Protein Association tool giving transcriptional Readout with rapid Kinetics) has recently been published. Similar to many existing integrators, SPARK converts PPIs into a transcriptional signal. SPARK, however, also adds blue light as a co-stimulus to achieve temporal gating; SPARK only records PPIs during light stimulation. Here, we describe the procedures for using SPARK assays to study a dynamic PPI of interest, including designing DNA constructs and optimization in HEK293T/17 cell cultures. These protocols are generally applicable to various PPI partners and can be used in different biological contexts. © 2021 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

The typical method to expand the FOV is to apply wide field objective lens. However, lateral resolution is often sacrificed when scanning with these lenses. To overcome this drawback, we developed an automated 3D stitching method for creating high-resolution skin structure and vascular volumes with large field of view, which was realized by montaging multiple adjacent OCT and OCTA volumes. The proposed stitching method is demonstrated by montaging 3 × 3 OCT and OCTA volumes (nine OCT/OCTA volumes as one data set with each volume covers 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm area) of healthy thin and thick skin from six volunteers. The proposed stitching protocol achieves high flexibility and repeatable for all the participants. Moreover, according to evaluation of structural similarity index and feature similarity index, our proposed stitched result has a superior similarity to single scanning protocol in large-scaled. We had also verified its improved performance through assessing metrics of vessel contrast-noise-ratio (CNR) from 2.07 ± 0.44 (single large-scaled scanning protocol) to 3.05 ± 0.51 (proposed 3 × 3 sub-volume stitching method). To monitor the intraocular proangiogenic and profibrotic cytokine profiles within 7days after intravitreous injection of conbercept (IVC) for patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). This prospective, randomized controlled, consecutive, comparative study included 157 eyes with PDR. Participant eyes underwent sham IVC or IVC and subsequent vitrectomy at days 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 postinjection. The intraocular cytokines profiles were measured using beaded assay methods. After IVC, the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A level in PDR vitreous decreased rapidly by approximately 10 times at day 2 (p=0.00001) and kept at a low level at days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (p<0.001
