Membrane-associated mucins in normal human conjunctiva.
PURPOSE To examine the presence of specific membrane-associated mucins in normal human conjunctiva. METHODS Glycoconjugates were extracted from membranes with two detergents: octylglucoside and Triton X114. Mucins were separated by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation. Size was assessed by gel filtration on Sepharose CL2B and charge by ion-exchange chromatography on MonoQ. Cross re...
متن کاملBacteriology of normal and infected conjunctiva.
The conjunctivas of 273 inflamed eyes were cultured by both aerobic and anaerobic techniques. Isolations were obtained from 267 (97.8%) of the eyes. Aerobic organisms were isolated from 237 (86.8%) of the conjunctivas. Staphylococcus aureus from 63 (23.1%) of the diseased eyes was the aerobic pathogen most often isolated. Anaerobic bacteria were isolated from 172 (63.0%) of the conjunctivas. Pr...
متن کاملHistopathology of Conjunctivochalasis Compared to Normal Conjunctiva
PURPOSE To evaluate the histopathologic changes in the conjunctiva of patients with conjunctivochalasis (CCh) compared to age-matched controls. METHODS This cross-sectional, controlled study included 27 eyes of 27 patients with CCh and 16 eyes of 16 age-matched controls. A biopsy of the bulbar conjunctiva was performed along the temporal lower lid margin before cataract surgery in both groups...
متن کاملExpression of Filaggrin in Normal and Keratinized Conjunctiva
PURPOSE We wanted to investigate filaggrin expression in normal conjunctiva and in conjunctiva exposed to different degrees of mechanical stress. Mechanical stress results in parakeratinization of the conjunctiva. If filaggrin is expressed in the milder forms of parakeratinization, it might be used as a sensitive marker of mechanical stress. METHODS Immunohistochemical staining using antibodi...
متن کاملGrowth factor expression in ophthalmic pterygia and normal conjunctiva.
The expression of growth factors in ophthalmic pterygium and phenotypically normal conjunctiva was examined and correlated with the clinical findings. Fifteen specimens of ophthalmic pterygia and 8 specimens of phenotypically normal conjunctiva were examined. Total RNA was extracted from all specimens and mRNA levels for transforming growth factor (TGFB1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VE...
