Indications for the role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of corneal alkali burns.

چکیده
We produced alkali burns (1.5 N NaOH) in the right eyes of 63 mice. Three weeks later the left eye of each mouse was similarly burned. All eyes were followed up weekly for 4 weeks after the burn and were graded according to the severity of the lesion. The lesions developed much faster and were more severe in the left eyes. These results suggest that the body's immune mechanism participates in the pathogenesis of alkali corneal burns and adversely affects the development of this condition.

متن کاملP164: The Role of Mast Cells in the Pathogenesis of Anxiety Disorders
Mast cells are a heterogeneous population of granulocytic cells in the immune system. Mast cell granules contain numerous mediators, including neurotransmitters, cytokines, chemokines and lipid-derived factors. In addition to their well-known role in immune inflammation, the presence of mast cells in the meninges and perivascular space in the central nervous system points to their role in brain...
