PURPOSE To compare trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C (MMC) application before versus after scleral flap dissection in terms of corneal endothelial cell loss and surgical outcomes. METHODS In this double blind clinical trial, patients were randomized to MMC 0.02% application before (group A) or after (group B) scleral flap dissection. The main outcome measure was corneal endothelial cell density...

objective: the study of physiological changes in recombinant cell lines provides useful information to improve production performance. in this study, we investigate the effects of an anti-cd33 chimeric igg4 expression on sp2.0 cell growth. methods: variable region genes of light and heavy chains of monoclonal antibody produced by m195 were cloned in pfuse-clig-hk and pfuse-chig-hg4 expression ...

  Littoral cell angioma is a splenic vascular tumor of splenic sinus lining cells that is considered benign in general. This report describes a case of littoral cell angioma with no malignant histological features. The lesion is composed of anastomosing vascular channels resembling splenic sinus; they are lined by endothelial cells which show mitotic activity very rare. Immunohistochemically, ...

Background: New blood vessels formation is a critical step in tumor progression. Vascular density affects the clinical outcome and prognosis of malignant tumors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression and vascular density with the clinical and histopathologic features in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). &nbsp...

PURPOSE Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) can be performed with donor tissue prepared with a microkeratome either by the surgeon at the time of surgery or by a technician in the eye bank days before surgery. Are the complications and endothelial survival affected by donor preparation by a surgeon vs a technician? METHODS A single surgeon at a referral practice perf...

Purpose Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome is a progressive anterior segment disorder that can be tricky to treat. Keratoplasty commonly used treat corneal edema in ICE syndrome. However, glaucoma an important risk factor affecting graft survival. To address this question, we designed retrospective cohort study evaluate the effect of Spokewise Iridotomy (SI) on Descemet Stripping Automated...
