Transplantation of congenitally opaque corneas.
AIMS To assess retrospectively the prognosis and complications of corneal grafting for congenital opacities. METHODS Fifty eight eyes of infants and young children with congenital corneal opacities were studied retrospectively. Preoperative diagnoses included sclerocornea (27 eyes), Peters' anomaly (17 eyes), partial sclerocornea (12 eyes), and congenital glaucoma (two eyes). Penetrating kera...
متن کاملFactors influencing the suitability of organ-cultured corneas for transplantation.
PURPOSE To assess the influence of donor and storage factors on the suitability of organ-cultured corneas for penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) using multifactorial regression analysis. METHODS Corneas (mean donor age, 57 years; standard deviation, 21 years) were stored by organ culture at 34 degrees C for up to 5 weeks (mean, 22 days; standard deviation, 6 days). The endothelium was assessed by...
متن کاملCryopreservation of rabbit corneas: assessment by microscopy and transplantation.
Rabbit corneas were frozen and thawed by three methods and compared by full thickness transplantation as well as specular microscopy, histology, and transmission electron microscopy. Two of the methods used a recently described technique, in which the excised cornea was immersed in a potassium-rich buffered solution containing the cryoprotectant dimethyl sulphoxide (Me2SO, 2 mol/l). This soluti...
متن کاملApoptosis in the endothelium of human corneas for transplantation.
PURPOSE To determine whether endothelial cell loss of human corneas stored in organ culture before transplantation is due to apoptosis. METHODS The corneal endothelium of human corneas, stored in organ culture at 34 degrees C for varying periods of time, were analyzed for the presence of apoptotic cells using the TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) technique. Corneal endothelial cell ...
متن کاملBioengineered corneas for transplantation and in vitro toxicology.
Bioengineered corneas have been designed to replace partial or the full-thickness of defective corneas, as an alternative to using donor tissues. They range from prosthetic devices that solely address replacement of the cornea's function, to tissue engineered hydrogels that permit regeneration of host tissues. In cases where corneal stem cells have been depleted by injury or disease, most frequ...
