Corneal epithelial basement membrane changes in diabetes.
The corneas of 12 eye donors with maturity-onset diabetes were obtained, and the corneal epithelial basement membranes were studied by transmission electron microscopy. Similar tissue was obtained from 12 nondiabetic eye donors who were matched for age (within 2 years) and race. The mean thickness of the corneal epithelial basement membrane in nondiabetic patients was 0.33 micrometer (+/- 0.11 ...
متن کاملBasement membrane synthesis by human corneal epithelial cells in vitro.
PURPOSE Collagen gels may prove to be potential carriers for transplantation of cultured corneal epithelial cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability of collagen gels in comparison with corneal stromal blocks as the substrate to support the growth of human corneal epithelial cells in culture and the synthesis and deposition of the basement membrane components by these cel...
متن کاملSalzmann's corneal degeneration associated with epithelial basement membrane dystrophy.
Salzmann’s corneal nodular degeneration has been defined as a degenerative process that follows episodes of keratitis. The diagnosis is based on the presence of elevated nodules above the surface of the cornea, usually at the periphery. The condition appears commonly associated with a history of scarlet fever, measles, trachoma, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, or phlyctenular keratoconjunctivitis ...
متن کاملTherapeutic keratoplasty in Pseudomonas pyocyaneus corneal ulcers.
Sloughing virulent corneal ulcers are still very common in India. Even with the best medication they often fail to respond and in such cases the eyes are invariably lost. This is especially true in the case of ulcers caused by Pseudomonas pyocyaneus, when the clinical course is so fulminating that only a bold and timely decision can save the eye. Keratoplasty has been found to be a potent eye-s...
متن کاملFirst Identification of a Triple Corneal Dystrophy Association: Keratoconus, Epithelial Basement Membrane Corneal Dystrophy and Fuchs’ Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy
PURPOSE To report the observation of a triple corneal dystrophy association consisting of keratoconus (KC), epithelial basement membrane corneal dystrophy (EBMCD) and Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD). METHODS A 55-year-old male patient was referred to our cornea service for blurred vision and recurrent foreign body sensation. He reported bilateral recurrent corneal erosions with di...
