Endothelial Morphometry by Image Analysis of Corneas Organ Cultured at 31°C
نویسندگان
چکیده
METHODS. The endothelia of 505 of the 559 corneas consecutively stored at the eye bank were routinely analyzed with Sambacornea image-analysis software (ver. 1.2.10; Tribvn, Châtillon, France) on three large-field images of 75

Comparison of two semiautomated methods for evaluating endothelial cells of eye bank corneas.
PURPOSE To compare two semiautomated methods of evaluating endothelial cells of eye bank corneas. METHODS Using a commercially available semiautomatic endothelial analyzer, seven observers determined the endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient of variation (CV) of cell area, and the percentage of hexagonal cells (hexagonality) of the light microscopic images of the endothelium of 30 organ...
متن کاملAutomated tri-image analysis of stored corneal endothelium.
BACKGROUND Endothelial examination of organ culture stored corneas is usually done manually and on several mosaic zones. Some banks use an image analyser that takes account of only one zone. This method is restricted by image quality, and may be inaccurate if endothelial cell density (ECD) within the mosaic is not homogeneous. The authors have developed an analyser that has tools for automatic ...
متن کاملEvaluation of potential organ culture media for eye banking using human donor corneas.
AIM To evaluate the ability of different commercially available cell culture solutions to preserve human donor corneas during 3 weeks of "closed system" organ culture at physiological temperature. This screening was performed in an attempt to establish a rational basis for the development of a serum-free organ culture medium for eye banking. METHODS 72 normal human donor corneas were organ cu...
متن کاملCLINICAL SCIENCE Value of two mortality assessment techniques for organ cultured corneal endothelium: trypan blue versus TUNEL technique
Background/aim: It is known that trypan blue staining is not a good predictor of loss of corneal endothelial cells (ECs) during organ culture. As it is primarily an indicator of membrane integrity, it would also not be expected to identify ECs undergoing apoptosis. The aim of this study was to determine the ability of the in situ TdT dUTP mediated nick end labelling (TUNEL) technique to detect ...
متن کاملReproducibility of endothelial assessment during corneal organ culture: comparison of a computer-assisted analyzer with manual methods.
PURPOSE To investigate the reproducibility of endothelial assessment of organ-cultured corneas with the computer-assisted Sambacornea analyzer in comparison with manual METHODS methods. Seven observers of two eye banks determined the endothelial cell density (ECD) of 30 corneas through a grid overlay placed on endothelial photographs using two manual modes, unaided (naked-eye) and pointing (p...
