Transglutaminases (TGs) in Ocular and Periocular Tissues: Effect of Muscarinic Agents on TGs in Scleral Fibroblasts

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of transglutaminases (TGs) in the ocular surface, the eyelid margin and associated glands and to determine effect of muscarinic agents on TGs in scleral fibroblasts (SF). MATERIALS AND METHODS Primary SFs cultured from mouse and human sclera were treated with atropine and carbachol for 5 days. Lysed cell RNA was used for real-time PCR, protein was used ...

Orbit fractures: Identifying patient factors indicating high risk for ocular and periocular injury.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Maxillofacial trauma frequently involves the bony orbit that surrounds the ocular globe. Concomitant globe injury is a concern whenever orbit trauma occurs and in severe cases can occasionally result in vision loss. The mechanism of injury, physical exam findings, and radiographic imaging can provide useful information concerning the severity of the injury and concerns for...

Real-time ultrasound elastographic imaging of ocular and periocular tissues: a feasibility study.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This study examines the value of ultrasound elastography for the examination of ocular and periocular structures. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five patients, aged 22 to 75 years, who each had one blind eye were included. Patients underwent ultrasound elastography of their blind eye and periocular tissues using a 7-13 MHz probe. Strain grayscale and color-coded elastographic m...
