Expression 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...
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 کاملExpression of cell proliferation and apoptosis biomarkers in pterygia and normal conjunctiva
PURPOSE To analyze the expression of apoptosis and cell proliferation molecules in pterygium tissues of Chinese patients. METHODS Thirty-three pterygia were surgically removed using the bare sclera procedure, and 23 normal bulbar conjunctivas were also obtained. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-wax-embedded tissues were analyzed by immunohistochemistry with anti- proliferating cell nuclear antigen (P...
متن کاملMembrane-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...
