Endothelial cell damage in human and rabbit corneas stored in K-Sol without antioxidants.
Human and rabbit corneas were stored at 4 degrees C in K-Sol with and without antioxidants (ascorbic acid, reduced glutathione, alpha-tocopherol, and retinol acetate) for two to three weeks. All the corneas were then examined visually and by scanning electron microscopy. They appeared clear and slightly oedematous. Scanning electron micrographs were used to grade corneal endothelial cell morpho...
متن کاملDextran flux in M-K medium-stored human corneas.
Dextran, with a minimal molecular weight of 40,000, can pass in and out of the corneal endothelium during storage in M-K medium. Results suggest that the degree of penetration of dextran depends on the length of storage and the condition of the endothelium.
متن کاملIn vitro specular microscope perfusion of M-K- and moist chamber-stored human corneas.
Human donor corneas were stored in McCarey-Kaufman (M-K) medium for 3 to 6 days; then they were mounted in the specular microscope, and the endothelial surface perfused with a glutathione-bicarbonate-Ringer solution. During storage, the corneal thickness increased 37% above an assumed normal of 0.520 mm. The corneas did not have sufficient active thinning to be accepted as viable when tested by...
متن کاملUltrastructure of M-K and refrigerated moist chamber-stored corneas.
McCarey and Kaufman have developed a technique for storing donor corneas by immersing the cornea with its scleral rim in a specific M-K bathing media. By histologic comparison, the M-K media-stored rabbit corneas are superior to the refrigerated moist chamber-stored rabbit corneas. They maintained normal cytoplasmic density but vacuoles and mitochondria swelling were present. In the moist chamb...
متن کاملComparison of K-Sol and M-K medium for cornea storage: results of penetrating keratoplasty in rabbits.
Five pairs of rabbit corneas were stored for two weeks at 4 degrees C, one of each pair in K-Sol medium, and one in McCarey-/Kaufman (M-K) medium. After transplantation all penetrating keratoplasty grafts became clear and thin. Endothelial cell loss was significantly less in the K-Sol stored corneas. Another five pairs of corneas were stored for two weeks in K-Sol or three days in M-K medium. A...
