چکیده
PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility of autologous extraocular muscle grafting as a type of muscle expansion surgery. METHODS The left superior rectus muscle of twenty-nine rabbits was resected and this fragment was attached to the endpoint of the respective right superior rectus (test group). Thereafter, the superior rectus of the left eye was reattached to the sclera (control group). Both groups were examined during different postoperative periods in order to assess their outcomes. RESULTS The presence of hyperemia was slightly more frequent in the grafted group. Secretion and muscle atrophy were negligible in both groups. Fibrosis was greater in grafted animals. These muscles were weaker than the control muscles, although the force required to split muscular parts was always greater than the physiological one. CONCLUSIONS This surgical technique was reliable and useful if one intends to achieve muscle expansion without the intrinsic risks of dealing with heterologous/artificial materials.

Introduction Measuring magnetic induction phase shift (MIPS) changes as a function of cerebral hemorrhage volume has the potential for being a simple method for primary and non-contact detection of the occurrence and progress of cerebral hemorrhage. Our previous MIPS study showed that the intracranial pressure (ICP) was used as a contrast index and found the primary correlation between MIPS and...
متن کاملN-CAM is expressed in mature extraocular muscles in a pattern conserved among three species.
PURPOSE Extraocular muscles express a number of characteristics not normally seen in mature skeletal muscle. The expression of neural cell adhesion molecule, N-CAM, was assessed immunohistochemically in the extraocular muscles of rabbits, monkeys, and humans to examine the hypothesis that there is greater complexity to extraocular muscle fiber types than the traditional description. The presenc...
