Toxic effect of using twenty percent alcohol on corneal epithelial tight junctions during LASEK.
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of using 20% alcohol on corneal epithelial tight junctions during laser epithelial keratomileusis (LASEK). Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two equal groups. The central area of the rat corneas in one group were demarcated with a 3-mm trephine, treated with 20% alcohol for 45 sec and washed with sterile balanced salt solution...
متن کاملCorneal epithelial tight junctions and their response to lipopolysaccharide challenge.
PURPOSE To investigate the expression and cellular distribution of putative tight junction (TJ) proteins occludin, ZO-1, ZO-2, and claudin-1 in rat corneal epithelium and alterations of TJs in cultured human corneal epithelial cells in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. METHODS Immunohistochemistry was used to determine tissue distribution of occludin, ZO-1, ZO-2, and claudin-1 i...
متن کاملSnapShot: Epithelial Tight Junctions
Tight junctions form a morphological and functional border between the apical and basolateral cell surface domains that serves as a paracellular diffusion barrier, enabling epithelial cells to separate compartments of different composition. Tight junctions also contribute to the generation and maintenance of cell polarity and regulate signaling mechanisms that guide cell behavior, shape, and ge...
متن کامل[Effect of mitomycin C on corneal regrowth after laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratectomy (LASEK)].
PURPOSE To study the effect of mitomycin C (MMC) on the corneal regrowth after laser-assisted sub-epithelial keratectomy (LASEK). METHODS We performed a prospective, controlled, observer-masked study of 64 consecutive eyes scheduled to undergo LASEK to correct their myopia. The patients were divided into two age-matched groups, with group 1 including 32 eyes in which the ablation depth was ≤ ...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
