Morphological changes in the human corneal epithelium associated with surgical corneal clouding.
Light microscopy and electron microscopy were used to define morphological changes occurring in human corneal epithelium during surgery. No correlation was established between preoperative medication or peroperative fluids and corneal epithelial clouding. It is suggested that the changes we observed in relation to epithelial clouding were the direct result of disturbance to endothelial pump fun...
متن کاملAlpha 1-adrenoceptors in human corneal epithelium.
Specific binding of the potent, selective alpha 1-adrenoceptor antagonist 3H-prazosin was demonstrated in cultured human corneal epithelial cells. Specific binding of the radioligand was concentration-dependent between 0.5 and 6 nM, with apparent saturation of receptor sites seen at higher concentrations. The cells exhibited a maximum binding capacity for 3H-prazosin of 225 fmol/mg of cellular ...
متن کاملDistinct populations of dendritic cells in the normal human donor corneal epithelium.
PURPOSE To characterize dendritic cells (DC) in normal human corneal epithelium. METHODS Normal human donor corneal epithelium was examined by fluorescence microscopy with single and double staining for multiple markers. Morphologic studies were also performed by confocal microscopy. HLA-DRa, CD1c, and CD16 mRNA expression in the corneal epithelium was examined by RT-PCR. CD45+ cells were sep...
متن کاملFluoroquinolone antibacterial eye drops: effects on normal human corneal epithelium, stroma, and endothelium
BACKGROUND In vitro studies have suggested the corneal cytotoxicity of third-generation fluoroquinolone levofloxacin (LVFX) and fourth-generation fluoroquinolone moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MFLX) among fluoroquinolone antibacterial eye drops. This study investigated the effects of these two eye drops on the human cornea in vivo. METHODS We evaluated 30 healthy adults (19 men and 11 women, 38....
متن کاملMorphological changes in the human conjunctival epithelium. I. In the normal elderly population.
Forty-nine biopsies of bulbar conjunctiva from patients with no apparent conjunctival disease were studied by light and transmission electron microscopy. No significant morphological changes were recorded in those specimens from patients less than 79 years old. However, in the older age group the epithelium showed irregularities in thickness, a reduction in the goblet cell population, and in 25...
