Sialomucin complex at the rat ocular surface: a new model for ocular surface protection.
The ocular surface, which is among the most accessible and vulnerable tissues in mammals, is protected by a complex tear film composed of lipid, aqueous and mucin layers. In spite of its importance, the molecular nature of the mucin contribution remains uncertain. Since membrane mucins have been implicated in the protection of other epithelia, we have analysed rat corneal and conjunctival tissu...
متن کاملDetection of sialomucin complex (MUC4) in human ocular surface epithelium and tear fluid.
PURPOSE To evaluate human ocular surface epithelium and tear fluid for the presence of sialomucin complex (MUC4), a high-molecular-weight heterodimeric glycoprotein composed of mucin (ASGP-1) and transmembrane (ASGP-2) subunits. METHODS Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Northern blot analysis assays were used to identify sialomucin complex RNA in ocular surface epit...
متن کاملA new classification of ocular surface burns.
Ocular burns constitute true ocular emergencies and both thermal and chemical burns represent potentially blinding ocular injuries. Thermal burns result from accidents associated with firework explosions, steam, boiling water, or molten metal (commonly aluminium). Chemical burns may be caused by either alkaline or acidic agents. Common alkaline agents include ammonium hydroxide used in fertilis...

Quinze-Vingts National Ophthalmology Hospital, Paris, France Abstract These proceedings are based on a symposium, presented at the European Society of Ophthalmology 2015 Congress in Vienna, Austria on 8 June 2015. The symposium was arranged by Santen to bring together leaders in ophthalmology with the objective of exploring advances in the treatment of severe keratitis in dry eye disease (DED)....
متن کاملOcular Surface Squamous Neoplasia
The ocular surface is composed of the conjunctiva and the cornea. The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane which covers the globe and inner part of the eyelids. The morphology of conjunctival epithelial cells are nonkeratinized stratified epithelia which vary from cuboidal over the tarsus, to columnar in the fornices, to squamous epithelia on the globe. Goblet cells account for up to 10% of the bas...
