چکیده
6.3 μm and 6.5 μm, respectively. We agree that there are limitations to all techniques that measure corneal thickness including the Visante OCT. However, we do not agree with the assertion that the resolution of the system is 12 μm and that standard deviations reported less than this are not valid. Jason E. Stahl, MD Daniel S.

Autologous transplantation of conjunctival epithelial cells cultured on amniotic membrane in a rabbit model
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of autologous transplantation in a rabbit model of conjunctival epithelial cells cultured on amniotic membrane for ocular surface reconstruction. METHODS Limbal stem cell deficiency was induced in the right eyes of 30 rabbits. This was done by performing a lamellar keratectomy of the entire cornea and a complete removal of the limbus and conjunctiva, extend...
متن کاملComparison of Ultra Structure and Gene Expression of Cultured Limbal Stem Cells and Fresh Conjunctival, Limbal and Corneal Tissues
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...
متن کاملSutureless amniotic membrane transplantation for partial limbal stem cell deficiency.
PURPOSE To evaluate the results of sutureless amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation using fibrin glue for reconstructing corneal surfaces with partial limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). DESIGN Retrospective noncomparative interventional case series. METHODS Eleven eyes of nine patients that had LSCD with 120 degrees to almost 360 degrees of limbal involvement underwent superficial keratec...
متن کاملOne-year follow-up of epithelial corneal cell sheet allografts mounted on platelet poor plasma in rabbits
PURPOSE To evaluate the usefulness of epithelial corneal sheets mounted on platelet poor plasma (PPP) for allograft transplantation of rabbits with total limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) and to prove its efficacy at 1 year after surgery. METHODS LSCD was induced in 21 female rabbits by mechanical keratectomy. To configure the grafts, limbal biopsies were taken from male rabbits and cells we...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Iatrogenic Vesicovaginal Fistula Treatment: Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma Injection and Platelet Rich Fibrin Glue Interposition
Introduction: Vesicovaginal fistula remains a challenge in surgical therapy. In this study autologous platelet rich plasma and platelet rich fibrin glue were used as a minimally invasive approach for vesicovaginal fistula closure. Materials and Methods: Data including age, parity, ICIQ-UI (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-urinary incontinence), ICIQ-QOL (Internation...
