چکیده
Purpose. The purpose of this study ws~s to evaluate We changes of the refractive error in the follow up after penetrating keratoplasty for Fuchs’ dystrophy. Methods. Between 1960 and 1991 16.2 keratoplasties with mechanical trephination and single running suture ware performed for Fuchs’ dystrophy consecutively. The suture was removed 20,4 f 7.5 months postoperatively. In 99 eyes a simultaneous cataract extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation was performed. The refractive power of the intraocular lens was choosen like in standard cataract surgery without keratoplasty. Results. In eyes without simultaneous intraocular lens implantation the refractive error was +0,5 f 1,9 dpt preoperatively. +3,1 f 4,7 after 6 months, +2,1 f 4.4 after 1 year -0,6 f :3,7 after 2 years, -2.2 f 3.2 after 3 years and -1,6 f 3,7 after 5 years. In eyes with simultaneous posterior chamber lens implantaUon the refractive error was -1,6 f 4.9 dpt preoperatively, -0,4 f 4,4 after 6 months, +O,l f 4,7 afler 1 year -1,l + 4,5 after 2 years, -2.5 i 53 afler 3 years and -3.9 f 7,0 afler 5 years. The difference between refractive error and the refractive prognosis preoperatively estimated by a-scan, was +1,4 dpt after 6 months and 2,0 dpt after 5 years. Conclusion. In the follow up after keratoplasty with mechanical trephination and single running suture for Fuchs’dystrophy there is a myopic shift in the refractive error. This myopisation occures at the time of suture removal. There is a stabilizalion of the refractive error 3 to 4 years postoperatively. This myopisation has to be taken in account in refractive prognosis in cases of simultaneous lens implantation.

Cis-urocanic acid inhibits SAPK/JNK signaling pathway in UV-B exposed human corneal epithelial cells in vitro
PURPOSE The cornea is sensitive to ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. Its clinical manifestations are photokeratitis and climatic droplet keratopathy. Urocanic acid (UCA) is a major endogenous UV-absorbing chromophore in the epidermis and it is also an efficacious immunosuppressant. We have previously shown that cis-UCA can suppress UV-B-induced interleuki...

PURPOSE Urocanic acid (UCA) is a major ultraviolet (UV)-absorbing endogenous chromophore in the epidermis and is also an efficacious immunosuppressant. The anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective effects of cis-UCA were studied in ocular surface cell cultures exposed to UV-B irradiation. METHODS Human corneal epithelial cells (HCE-2) and human conjunctival epithelial cells (HCECs) were incubated...
متن کاملUrocanic acid analogues and the suppression of the delayed type hypersensitivity response to Herpes simplex virus.
Ultraviolet irradiated urocanic acid (4-imidazoleacrylic acid) containing a mixture of cis- and trans-isomers has been shown previously to induce suppression of the delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in a murine model of infection. The cis-isomer of urocanic acid was prepared and the cis- and trans-isomers of 2-methylurocanic acid. 2-pyrroleacryl...
متن کاملHistamine involvement in UVB- and cis-urocanic acid-induced systemic suppression of contact hypersensitivity responses.
Studies in experimental models have implicated histamine and prostanoids in ultra-violet B (UVB)- and cis-urocanic acid (UCA)-induced systemic immunosuppression. This study examined the hypothesis that UVB irradiation and cis-UCA suppressed contact hypersensitivity responses to hapten by induction of histamine, which in turn evoked a prostanoid-dependent component of immunosuppression. BALB/c m...
