purpose : to report an unusual presentation of chandler syndrome case report : a 22-year-old female came to our clinic with complaint of progressive visual loss in her left eye since three days ago. she had a history of trauma with finger-nail to her left eye eight days ago and had been managed with topical antibiotic. in her examination, the left eye had visual acuity (va) of counting finger a...

purpose: to compare the morphology and function of corneal enthothelial cell in early postoperative period after phacoemulsification with infusion or bolus intracameral adrenaline. methods: in this prospective randomized study, 71 eyes of 71 patients scheduled for phacoemulsification were randomly assigned to two groups: one group (31 eyes) received bolus intraocular adrenaline at 1/10,000 conc...

Two-pore domain potassium channels, like KCNK2, are known to play an important role in inflammatory diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Upregulation of cellular adhesion molecules in mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs) of Kcnk2-/- mice resulted in elevated leukocyte trafficking into the central nervous system under inflammatory conditions. The current project aims to gain...

propose: standard electroporation and electrochemotherapy caused the endothe- lial cell permeability and reduction in tumor blood flow. the effects of low voltage and high frequency electroporation on the endothelial cells permeability and viability were expected. therefore, the propose of present study was to evaluate the effect of electroporation with bleomycin or alone on viability and perme...

purpose: to investigate central corneal thickness (cct), endothelial cell characteristics and intraocular pressure (iop) in congenital cataract extracted eyes and to compare the results with eyes of normal age and sex matched controls. methods: cct and iop measurements and specular microscopy were performed in 31 eyes of 17 cases of extracted congenital cataracts and 40 eyes of 20 age and sex m...

introduction: serum anti endothelial cell antibodies (aecas) play a prominent role in idiopathic sensorineural hearing loss (snhl) in that they induce vascular damage (immune mediated).the of the current study is  to compare aecas in serum and perilymphatic .uid of idiopathic snhl children (<15y) undergoing cochlear implant surgery.methods: this was a cross sectional study performed in the coch...

Glomerular development of the kidney was studied in newborn rats by electron microscopy. Four different stages of glomerular development were defined: vesicle fonnation, S-shaped body stage, capillary loop fonnation, and glomerular maturation. In the fust stage, the mesenchymal cells form a spheroid mass. This is followed by the S-shaped body stage in which clefts appear in the mass. Afte...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to estimate effects of hyperbaric (HB) treatment by determination of CD15s and CD11b leukocyte proinflammatory markers expression.  In addition, this study describes changes in CD77 and CD34 expression on rat endothelial cells in renal, pulmonary and cardiac tissue following exposure to hyperbaric pressure. Materials and Methods:Expression of CD11b and CD...

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States and Europe. In recent years, the understanding that regenerative processes exist at the level of the myocardium, has placed stem cell research at center stage in cardiology. A stem cell is a cell that has the ability to divide (self replicate) for indefinite periods often throughout the life of the ...
