The fine structure of nuclear changes in superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.
Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) is a condition of unknown etiology. Histological signs include acanthosis, dyskeratosis, keratinization, and ballon degeneration of the bulbar conjunctival epithelium. Ultrastructural examination of biopsy material from five eyes of patients with SLK shows numerous nuclear changes in the conjunctival epithelial cells. These include abnormal distributio...
متن کاملIn vivo evaluation of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis using laser scanning confocal microscopy and conjunctival impression cytology.
PURPOSE To investigate the cytologic findings of superior bulbar conjunctiva in superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) using laser scanning confocal microscopy and impression cytology in a prospective controlled study. METHODS Twenty-one eyes of 11 SLK patients (9 women, 2 men; mean age, 49.3 +/- 17.9 years) and 18 eyes of 9 control subjects (6 women, 3 men; mean age, 46.4 +/- 8.7 years) ...
متن کاملExtensive superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis in Graves’ disease: case report and mini-review of the literature
BACKGROUND Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK) is characterized as an inflammation of the superior bulbar conjunctiva with predominant involvement of the superior limbus and adjacent epithelial keratitis. METHODS A 51-year-old woman, with a history of medically controlled Graves' disease was seen with an extensive SLK involving 5 mm of the superior cornea. RESULTS Total remission was...
متن کاملLiquid nitrogen cryotherapy for surface eye disease (an AOS thesis).
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of new treatments with liquid nitrogen cryotherapy on some external eye conditions. METHODS In this retrospective case study, 6 separate series from a single tertiary care referral center practice are described. Liquid nitrogen cryotherapy was used to treat conjunctival amyloidosis, primary pterygia, recurrent pterygia, advancing wavelike epitheliopathy (AWLE),...
متن کاملThe 3'-untranslated region of the Ste20-like kinase SLK regulates SLK expression.
Ste20-like kinase, SLK, a germinal center kinase found in kidney epithelial cells, signals to promote apoptosis. Expression of SLK mRNA and protein and kinase activity are increased during kidney development and recovery from ischemic acute renal failure. The 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of SLK mRNA contains multiple adenine and uridine-rich elements, suggesting that 3'-UTR may regulate mRNA...
