BACKGROUND/AIMS During the healing of corneal epithelial wounds with limbal involvement, conjunctival epithelium often migrates across the denuded limbus to cover the corneal surface. It is believed that, over a period of time, conjunctival epithelium covering the cornea assumes characteristics of corneal epithelium by a process referred to as conjunctival transdifferentiation. The purpose of t...

Ischemic type biliary lesion (ITBL) is frequently occurred after orthotopic liver transplantation and severely affects patients’ survival rate. The pathogenesis of ITBL is still unclear yet, but has been suggested to be related with multiple factors including ischemia time of donor liver, reperfusion damage and immune factors. Complete ischemia model of intrahepatic biliary tract was establishe...

purpose: to report the result of limbal autografting in primary and recurrent pterygium. methods: in this case series, all patients who were referred to our clinic at farabi hospital, isfahan, iran for treatment of pterygium were included. indications of surgery included chronic ocular irritation, impaired or threatened vision, ocular motility problem and cosmetic reasons. under subconjunctiona...

The objectives of this study were to compare the efficiency of three methods for repairing tarsal defects (glycerine-preserved, alcohol-preserved and cryopreserved tarsal plate and palpebral conjunctival transplantation) based on histopathological changes and apoptosis, and to evaluate the clinical effects of repairing tarsal defects by liquid nitrogen-cryopreserved tarsal plate and palpebral c...

BACKGROUND Conjunctival flaps are a widely used treatment for numerous corneal ulcers that are caused by microorganismal infections. However, whether it can be performed on immune-mediated corneal ulcers is controversial. CASE PRESENTATION We present two cases of Mooren's ulcer that were treated using conjunctival flap in an attempt to prevent further corneal perforation at their local hospit...

Background Pterygium is a common degenerative eye disease. Despite various surgical methods to treat pterygium, recurrence is the main complication. The main issue is finding a surgical method with the lowest recurrence. Objective to compare the complications, recurrence rate and the cosmetic effects of two surgical techniques, namely conjunctival rotation autograft (CRA) and conjunctival aut...

AIM To evaluate the use of human serum (HS) in supporting the in vitro and in vivo proliferation of human conjunctival epithelial cells, and compare it with fetal bovine serum (FBS) and bovine pituitary extract (BPE). METHODS Conjunctival epithelial cells were cultivated in media supplemented with HS (5%, 10%), FBS (5%, 10%), and BPE (70 microg/ml, 140 microg/ml). The colony forming efficienc...
