متن کاملCorneal allograft endothelial cell replacement represents a reparative response to transplant injury
PURPOSE To elucidate the injury of corneal allograft endothelial cells (ECs) upon rejection and the subsequent replacement process of the cells. METHODS The corneal transplantation model in an major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I/II disparate Dark Agouti (DA)-Lewis combination was used. The rejection kinetics was observed in 16 cases in which the corneal opacity grade was recorded a...
متن کاملChanges in beta 4 integrin expression and localization in vivo in response to corneal epithelial injury.
PURPOSE To determine whether production and localization of beta 4 integrin is altered during in vivo corneal epithelial cell migration in response to debridement wounding. METHODS Rat corneas were wounded and animals were killed at times ranging from 3 hours to 14 days. At various time points, corneal epithelial integrins were quantitated by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting of epitheli...
متن کاملCorneal response to rigid contact lens wear.
Three adult rhesus monkeys were subjected to 2 and 24 hours of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) contact lens wear. The induced corneal changes were examined with the electron microscope. Mild epithelial oedema as well as early degenerative cell changes was present already after 2 hours' wear. Rigid lens wear for 24 hours produced more severe oedema and cell alterations together with premature cell...
متن کاملInhibitory effect of blocking TGF-β/Smad signal on injury-induced fibrosis of corneal endothelium
PURPOSE To understand the role of TGF-beta related signals in the repair of a corneal endothelium defect and also to evaluate the therapeutic effect of Smad7 gene transfer on injury induced fibrosis of the corneal endothelium in rats. METHODS (1) Japanese albino rabbits (n=108) were used. Blocks of central cornea (4 x 4 mm) were prepared. After partially scraping the endothelium to produce a ...
