A comparison of retrokeratoprosthetic membrane and conjunctival inflammatory responses to silicone oil
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silicone oil continues to be an important aid in retinal detachment surgery. We report a case in which disparate responses to silicone oil were noted in the conjunctiva and intraocularly. Intraocularly, the oil permeated a fibrous membrane that formed behind a keratoprosthesis, the first example of this phenomenon. We detail the histological response to the oil at this site as well as a distinctly different reaction present to oil in the conjunctiva of the same eye. The divergence of histological responses provides a demonstration of the eye's apparent retained capacity to protect against intraocular inflammation, despite multiple previous surgeries.

Subconjunctival and Orbital Silicone Oil Granuloma (Siliconoma) Complicating Intravitreal Silicone Oil Tamponade
A 30-year-old male, who underwent previous pars plana vitrectomy and silicone oil tamponade due to endogenous endophthalmitis originated from Klebsiella liver abscess, was referred for evisceration. At 2 months after vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade, conjunctival chemosis and ocular pain were aggravated. Diffuse eyelid swelling and large subconjunctival mass with lipid droplets were noted....

Purpose: The present study intends to show the characteristics of cultured limbal stem cell (CLSCs) and to compare them with normal Conjunctival (C), Limbal (L) and Cornea (K) tissues. Materials and Methods: The expressions of a set of genes potentially involved in differentiation and stemness function of limbal stem cells were assessed in freshly prepared limbal, corneal, and conjunctival tis...

Migration of intraocular silicone oil, used in the treatment of complicated retinal detachment, has been rarely described, but when it happens it can arise with a differential diagnosis with scleral buckling extrusion, tumor, dermoid, ocular cysticercosis, and abscess. The presence of silicone oil in the eye gives very ugly echographic pictures, but these kinds of pictures can be very useful in...
متن کاملSilicone-polyether Copolymers as New Steam Turbine Oil Demulsifiers
Turbine oil plays an important role in supporting optimal steam turbine performance. Some additives in turbine oil can cause emulsification when the oil is contaminated by water, so demulsibility is a very important property of the steam turbine oil. In order to improve the demulsibility of steam turbine oil, two kinds of polyether-silicone comb copolymers are synthesized and used as steam turb...
