Fibrosis, gene expression and orbital inflammatory disease.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To clarify the pathogenesis of fibrosis in inflammatory orbital diseases, we analysed the gene expression in orbital biopsies and compared our results with those reported for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. METHODS We collected 140 biopsies from 138 patients (58 lacrimal glands; 82 orbital fat). Diagnoses included healthy controls (n=27), non-specific orbital inflammation (NSOI...

متن کاملIgG4 Immunostaining and Its Implications in Orbital Inflammatory Disease
OBJECTIVE IgG4-related disease is an emerging clinical entity which frequently involves tissue within the orbit. In order to appreciate the implications of IgG4 immunostaining, we analyzed gene expression and the prevalence of IgG4- immunostaining among subjects with orbital inflammatory diseases. METHODS We organized an international consortium to collect orbital biopsies from 108 subjects i...
