Functional competence of regenerating ocular surface epithelium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several aspects of the ocular surface epithelium, including its clinical appearance, its effect on the strength of underlying stromal wounds, and its healing rates, have been compared between regenerating epithelium of conjunctival and that of corneal origin in rabbits. The results showed that conjunctival epithelium could not transform completely into functionally competent corneal epithelium within 6 weeks.

Biochemical transformation of regenerating ocular surface epithelium.
Several biochemical parameters, including glycogen levels, and the activities of hexokinase, phosphorylase, and lactate dehydrogenase have been compared in regenerating epithelium of conjunctival and corneal origin in rabbits. The study was designed to determine the extent of biochemical transformation of conjunctival into corneal epithelium completed within 6 weeks. Although histological trans...
متن کاملCellular dynamics of corneal wound re-epithelialization in the rat. III. Mitotic activity.
The number and distribution of mitotic epithelial cells in the ocular surface during homeostasis and in response to abrasion of the mammalian cornea were determined. Normal rats and those receiving a 3 mm diameter centrally located epithelial defect, received an intraperitoneal injection of colchicine 6 h prior to sacrifice. Mitosis in the basal epithelium during homeostasis was comparable in m...
متن کامل[Low use of laboratory tests in the diagnosis of the ocular surface].
Dear Sir, May I take advantage of this section in the S.E.O. journal to encourage our colleagues to utilize lab tests for a better and faster diagnosis of ocular surface diseases. In most patients it is enough to perform a clinical study with slit lamp and perform a few clinical tests, but in some cases diagnostic needs call for special laboratory tests, the execution of which does not require ...
متن کاملMetabolic competence and susceptibility of intestinal epithelium to genotoxic injury during regeneration.
The carcinogenic potency of many mutagens is increased in conditions of tissue regeneration. This involves fundamental changes of cellular division and differentiation, in intestinal epithelium. However, effects on epithelial capacity for carcinogen metabolism and susceptibility to genotoxic injury are unknown. Using a novel rat model, this study assessed expression of cytochrome P450 mono-oxyg...
متن کاملیافتههای چشمی در بیماران ویتیلیگو: مطالعه مورد- شاهدی
Background: Vitiligo is a common acquired disorder characterized by depigmented cutaneous patches devoid of melanocytes. The disease carries a risk for ocular abnormalities. Few reports are available about the ocular findings and their possible association with the disease in patients with vitiligo in the literature. Methods: A total of 72 patients with previously documented cutaneous vitiligo...
