Pathological Evaluation of Two Techniques of Amniotic Membrane Patching on Experimentally Induced Corneal Lesions in Dogs

Objective- This study was performed to evaluate and compare grossly and pathologically two surgical techniques of amniotic membrane patching on experimental corneal alkali burn in dogs.   Design- Experimental study.   Animals- Fifteen healthy dogs   Procedures- The central corneas of the dogs were inflicted by applying a round filter paper, 6.0 mm in diameter, soaked in 1 N NaOH for 60 sec. ...

Celastrol nanoparticles inhibit corneal neovascularization induced by suturing in rats

PURPOSE Celastrol, a traditional Chinese medicine, is widely used in anti-inflammation and anti-angiogenesis research. However, the poor water solubility of celastrol restricts its further application. This paper aims to study the effect of celastrol nanoparticles (CNPs) on corneal neovascularization (CNV) and determine the possible mechanism. METHODS To improve the hydrophilicity of celastro...

Evaluation of Different Suturing Techniques for Cystotomy Closure in Canines

The experimental cystotomy was performed on 24 mongrel dogs, divided in to four groups i.e. group A, B, C and D comprising 6 dogs in each group. In group-A, cystotomy wound was closed in one layer by simple continues suturing pattern, in group-B, closure was made in two layers by simple continues and lembert suturing pattern and in group-C, cystomy incision was closed by one layer simple contin...
