Experimental orthotopic penetrating keratoplasty--a rat penetrating keratoplasty model.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An orthotopic penetrating keratoplasty model was developed in the rat. An oversized (0.5 mm) graft was used and 8 interrupted sutures were applied. These sutures were not removed. Eleven grafts out of 13 were rejected by the 3rd week in the disparate group (Brown Norway rat to Lewis rat transplantation group), which was characterized by edema, opacity, and neovascularization. All grafts remained clear in the syngeneic group (Lewis rat to Lewis rat transplantation group). Immunohistochemical examination was performed. This model seems to be a reliable and reproducible one to evaluate rejection reaction in corneal transplantation.

Risk Factors for Failure of Keratoplasty in Keratoconus: Penetrating vs. Deep Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty
Purpose: To determine the etiologic factors on rejection and failure rates and ocular surface changes after corneal transplantation by either DALK or PKP, in cases of keratoconus (KCN). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, considering the existing data, patients with keratoconus referring to Labbafinejad Medical Center from 2006 to 2016, who underwent corneal transplantation, were enrolled a...

PURPOSE The immunosuppressive effects of FK506 on allogeneic corneal transplantation were tested in a rat model. METHODS Inbred-strain Lewis rats were used as recipients, and Fisher rats were used as donors. Intraperitoneal injection of FK506 (0.3, 1.0, and 3.0 mg/kg per day) was administered for 2 weeks, and the grafts were inspected by clinical evaluation. Mixed lymphocyte culture assay, us...

متن کاملOxidative stress and premature senescence in corneal endothelium following penetrating keratoplasty in an animal model
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to address the question of how the premature senescence process may affect corneal endothelium after penetrating keratoplasty, because the quality of donor corneal endothelial cells is important for corneal transplant success. METHODS The cell senescence and induced oxidative stress in corneal endothelium were assessed using a normal-risk orthotopic mi...

BACKGROUND Using a rat penetrating keratoplasty model, this study aims to explore the inhibitory effect of hachimycin on corneal graft rejection, to provide new basis for its clinical application. MATERIALS AND METHODS Female adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats weighing between 220-250 g were used as acceptors and male or female Wistar rats weighing between 220-250 g were used as donors. The rats ...
