Vascularization of the cornea.
(i) What are the chief lesions associated with vascularization of the cornea ? (ii) To what extent do the various modes of vascularization facilitate a differentia! diagnosis ? (iii) Is there a demonstrable factor common to the lesions concerned ? (iv) What is the real significance of these adventitious vessels ? (v) Does experimental work throw any light upon the problem ? (vi) Is it possible ...
متن کاملVascularization of the Cornea of the Rat in Riboflavin Deficiency, with a Note on Corneal Vascularization in Vitamin a Deficiency
Vascularization of the cornea of the rat in the absence of antecedent pathology is probably a specific and the most reliable criterion of riboflavin deficiency. Its initiation and repair may be used for testing the biological activity of compounds structurally related to riboflavin. The facts that the invading capillaries are easily visible in the living animal and that the growth and regressio...
متن کاملEffect of cortisone on vascularization and opacification of the cornea induced by alloxan.
THERE are few reports in the literature of experimental work dealing with the effect of cortisone upon corneal vascularization, and the evidence so fair advanced is partly conflicting (Duke-Elder and Ashton, 1951), but there is already some indication from clinical observers that cortisone exerts a considerable inhibitory influence on the formation of ne\v vessels in the diseased cornea. The ex...
متن کاملInhibition of tumor growth, vascularization, and collagenolysis in the rabbit cornea by medroxyprogesterone.
Medroxyprogesterone, dexamethasone, or cortisone, locally applied in sustained release polymer to rabbit V2 carcinoma implanted in the rabbit cornea, blocked neovascularization and three-dimensional growth of the tumor. These hormones similarly prevented the vascular proliferative response to implants in the rabbit cornea of mouse B-16 melanoma and also the response to implants of polymer conta...
متن کاملAngiopoietin-Like 7 Is an Anti-Angiogenic Protein Required to Prevent Vascularization of the Cornea
PURPOSE We sought to identify the anti-angiogenic molecule expressed in corneal keratocytes that is responsible for maintaining the avascularity of the cornea. METHODS Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured with either human dermal fibroblasts or with human corneal keratocytes under serum-free conditions. The areas that exhibited blood vessel formation were estimated by...
