Aqueous Levels of Pigment Epithelium-Derived Factor and Macular Choroidal Thickness in High Myopia
Purpose. To investigate the correlation between aqueous and serum levels of pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) and macular choroidal thickness in high myopia patients, both with and without choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods. Serum and aqueous levels of PEDF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 36 high myopia patients (36 eyes) with no CNV (non-CNV group), 14 hig...
متن کاملShape of the retinal surface in emmetropia and myopia.
PURPOSE To determine and compare the shapes of the retinas of emmetropic and myopic eyes. METHODS Nonrotationally symmetrical ellipsoids were mathematically fitted to the retinal surfaces of 21 emmetropic and 66 myopic eyes (up to -12 D) of participants aged 18 to 36 years (mean, 25.5) using transverse axial and sagittal images derived from magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS The shapes of ...
متن کاملHistochemical study of retinal photoreceptors development during pre- and postnatal period and their association with retinal pigment epithelium
Objective(s):The aim of this study was to evaluate distribution and changes of glycoconjugates of retinal photoreceptors during both pre- and postnatal development. Materials and Methods: Tissue sections from days 15 to 20 of Wistar rat embryos and 1 to 12 postnatal days of rat newborns including developing eye were prepared for lectinhistochemistry technique. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-label...
متن کاملinvestigation of melanogenic factors gene expression in human adult and neonate retinal pigment epithelium cell cultures
retinal pigment epithelium is responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the retina by an efficient defense against free radicals, photo-oxidative exposure and light energy. for this purpose the main rpe line of defense is melanosomes. melanin content of retinal pigment epithelium cells in adults and neonates reveals remarkable variations. in the current study we compared melanogen...
متن کاملThe metabolism of retinal pigment cell epithelium
A study of respiration and glycolysis in vitro of retinal pigment epithelium and retina minus the pigment epithelial layer has indicated metabolic similarities and differences between the two tissues. Aerobic lactic acid production from glucose was one-half in pigment epithelium what it was in retina, and the Pasteur effect operated with approximately the same efficiency in either tissue. Pigme...
