Integration of Perforated Subretinal Prostheses With Retinal Tissue.
PURPOSE To investigate the integration of subretinal implants containing full-depth perforations of various widths with rat and pig retina across weeks of implantation. METHODS In transgenic P23H rhodopsin line 1 (TgP23H-1) rats and wild-type (WT) pigs, we examined four subretinal implant designs: solid inactive polymer arrays (IPA), IPAs with 5- or 10-μm wide perforations, and active bipolar...
متن کاملFunctional Properties of Subretinal Transplants in Rabbit
281 There has been a rapid growth in research focused on retinal transplantation as a strategy for restoration of or rescue of function in retinas rendered afunctional by disease or trauma. This strategy has been partially stimulated by recent transplantation efforts in brain related to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's, Huntington's, and Alzheimer's. These latter efforts have been...
متن کاملStudies of adenovirus-induced eye disease in the rabbit model.
PURPOSE To achieve a better understanding of the pathogenic processes associated with human adenovirus (Ad)-induced ocular disease. METHODS Growth curves of Ad5 and Ad14 were performed in cell cultures derived from rabbit and human corneal epithelium (CE) and corneal keratocytes (CK). For in vivo studies, rabbit eyes were inoculated intrastromally and topically with 10(6) plaque-forming units...
متن کاملMR-guided focused ultrasound for acute stroke: a rabbit model.
R ecent developments in thrombolysis therapy using tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) in combination with ultrasound for noninvasive stroke treatment are of great excitement. The first clinical trials have been successfully initiated, demonstrating the potential benefit of transcranial ultrasound in combination with tPA as an effective vessel recanalizing treatment strategy. 6–10 The use of tPA...
متن کاملSubretinal neovascularization after naphthalene damage to the rabbit retina.
PURPOSE To examine the retinotoxic effect of naphthalene, a powerful oxidative agent and a well-known cataractogenic agent. METHODS A 10% solution of naphthalene dissolved in paraffin oil was given every other day by gavage to 31 pigmented rabbits for 5 weeks, at a dose of 1 g/kg body weight. Four rabbits who received only paraffin oil served as controls. The eyes were clinically followed up ...
