Abstract: A method executed within a virtual machine (VM) host computer system includes determining, during VM provisioning, a physical peripheral device with confidential and non-confidential modes is to be assigned to the VM. Based on an attribute linked to the VM, the VM host directs the physical peripheral device to switch to the confidential mode and subsequently connects the physical peripheral device to the VM. Later, during the shutdown of the VM, the VM host determines that the physical peripheral device is assigned to the VM and that the physical peripheral device is operating in confidential mode. The VM host instructs the physical peripheral device to switch to the non-confidential mode and unassigns the physical peripheral device from the VM.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to the field of animal disease models, specifically to a method for constructing an animal model of open-angle glaucoma. In this model, the pathogenesis of open-angle glaucoma is mimicked by inducing necroptosis in trabecular meshwork cells through the injection of IFN-? into the anterior chamber. This process leads to the inhibition of trabecular meshwork activity and functional impairment, resulting in elevated intraocular pressure and subsequent optic nerve changes indicative of glaucoma. The pathophysiological alterations observed in the animal model closely resemble those seen in human open-angle glaucoma, including chamber angle opening, trabecular meshwork dysfunction, increased intraocular pressure, and loss of RGCs.
