چکیده
Corneal neovascularization is a serious condition that may arise secondary to chemical burns, ischemia, infection, trauma, and inflammation and represents a major cause of blindness. This study investigated the efficacy of topical application of infliximab [tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) monoclonal antibody] in the treatment of corneal neovascularization in the rabbit model.

Naringenin Eye Drops Inhibit Corneal Neovascularization by Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidant Mechanisms.
Purpose To investigate the effect of naringenin eye drops in corneal neovascularization induced by alkali (1 N NaOH) burn in mice. Methods Corneal neovascularization in the right eye of male Swiss mice was induced by alkali. Treatment with naringenin eye drops (0.08-80 μg; 8 μL of 0.01-10 g/L solution) or vehicle (saline) started 2 days before corneal neovascularization was induced and was pe...
متن کاملInhibition of corneal angiogenesis by local application of vasostatin.
PURPOSE This study was designed to investigate the effects of the locally supplied endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor vasostatin (VS) on corneal angiogenesis. METHODS Recombinant VS was expressed and purified. The effects of VS on the proliferation of endothelial cells were investigated using the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay in the absence or presence of angiogenic factors such as ...
متن کاملTopical Timolol Inhibits Corneal Neovascularization in Rabbits
Timolol is a non-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist that is similar to propranolol. The mechanism through which these drugs act on the regression of neovascularization is largely unknown. However, it is thought that the drugs may act through vascular endothelial growth factor signaling, vasoconstriction, and vascular endothelial cell apoptosis. The aim of this study was to determine the effec...
