Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator-mediated corneal epithelial cell ingestion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a key component in the pathogenesis of experimental murine keratitis. (1/5105)

Previous findings indicate that the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a ligand for Pseudomonas aeruginosa ingestion into respiratory epithelial cells. In experimental murine keratitis, P. aeruginosa enters corneal epithelial cells. We determined the importance of CFTR-mediated uptake of P. aeruginosa by corneal cells in experimental eye infections. Entry of noncytotoxic (exoU) P. aeruginosa into human and rabbit corneal cell cultures was inhibited with monoclonal antibodies and peptides specific to CFTR amino acids 108 to 117. Immunofluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry demonstrated CFTR in the intact murine corneal epithelium, and electron microscopy showed that CFTR binds to P. aeruginosa following corneal cell ingestion. In experimental murine eye infections, multiple additions of 5 nM CFTR peptide 103-117 to inocula of either cytotoxic (exoU+) or noncytotoxic P. aeruginosa resulted in large reductions in bacteria in the eye and markedly lessened eye pathology. Compared with wild-type C57BL/6 mice, heterozygous DeltaF508 Cftr mice infected with P. aeruginosa had an approximately 10-fold reduction in bacterial levels in the eye and consequent reductions in eye pathology. Homozygous DeltaF508 Cftr mice were nearly completely resistant to P. aeruginosa corneal infection. CFTR-mediated internalization of P. aeruginosa by buried corneal epithelial cells is critical to the pathogenesis of experimental eye infection, while in the lung, P. aeruginosa uptake by surface epithelial cells enhances P. aeruginosa clearance from this tissue.  (+info)

First report of Thelazia sp. from a captive Oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana) in Japan. (2/5105)

Nematodes of the genus Thelazia were recovered from the cornea and inferior conjunctival sac of an immature Oriental white stork (Ciconia boyciana). The bird hatched and reared at the Toyooka Oriental White Stork Breeding Center, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, but died of chlamydiosis. There were neither gross nor histopathologic ophthalmic lesions. The eye worm from a bird is believed to be first reported in Japan. As regarding reintroduction plan for the Oriental white stork, control measures for prevent further infection with the eye worm will be needed.  (+info)

Pharmacological studies on root bark of mulberry tree (Morus alba L.) (3/5105)

Pharmacological studies were done on the root bark of mulberry tree and pharmacological effects were compared with the clinical effects of "Sohakuhi" in Chinese medicine. n-Butanol- and water-soluble fractions of mulberry root had similar effects except for those on the cadiovascular system. Both fractions showed cathartic, analgesic, diuretic, antitussive, antiedema, sedative, anticonvulsant, and hypotensive actions in mice, rats, guinea pigs and dogs. There appears to be a correlation between the experimental pharmacological results and the clinical applications of mulberry root found in the literature on Chinese medicine.  (+info)

Pathogenesis of experimental Pseudomonas keratitis in the guinea pig: bacteriologic, clinical, and microscopic observations. (4/5105)

Uniformly severe corneal infections were produced in guinea pigs by intracorneal injection of about 10 viable Pseudomonas aeruginosa. After a brief lag period, multiplication of bacteria was rapid, reaching geometric means of 280,000 after 24 hr and of 5 million after 48 hr. Within 8 hr after inoculation, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) began to infiltrate the anterior two thirds of the stroma. Stromal cells adjacent to the injection site became necrotic and appeared to be engulfed by PMNs. By 14 to 16 hr, an abscess containing a dense aggregate of PMNs and multiplying bacteria developed in the central stroma. By 16 to 24 hr, collagen breakdown was apparent within and around the abscess. Ultrastructural evidence of collagen breakdown included loss of intact collagen fibrils, tactoid formation, and accumulation of amorphous electron-dense material. The area of liquefactive necrosis gradually enlarged, and many corneas perforated after 3 to 4 days. Because the course of infection is highly reproducible, this model should prove useful for many studies of experimental Pseudomonas keratitis.  (+info)

Freeze-fracture studies of the developing cell surface. II. Particle-free membrane blisters on glutaraldehyde-fixed corneal fibroblasts are artefacts. (5/5105)

We describe, in sections and by freeze-fracture, four classes of intramembrane particle (IMP)-free membrane blebs or "blisters" associated with glutaraldehyde-fixed embryonic corneal fibroblasts: (a) Single blisters attached to the cell membrane; (b) free (detached) vesicles; (c) myelin figures; (d) multivesicular protrusions which resemble the "mounds" described by others on nerve growth cones. The IMP-free, membrane-bounded blisters contain no ground cytoplasm or organelles, in contrast to blebs on trypsin-isolated fibroblasts, which we show here do contain cytoplasm and IMP-rich membranes. That the IMP-free membrane blisters in embryonic corneas are artefacts of fixation is demonstrated by (a) their absence in replicas of fibroblasts frozen and fractured without prior aldehyde fixation and (b) their absence in sections of fibroblasts fixed in a combination of glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide. We suggest that the addition of osmium prevents postfixation movement of membrane lipids, especially the negatively charged "fluid" lipids which others have shown are capable of considerable mobility after aldehyde fixation alone. Recent literature has implicated membrane blistering in secretory processes and in growth of nerves, but before the functional significance of such IMP-free blisters is assessed, membrane mobility of the type shown here should be taken into consideration.  (+info)

cDNA cloning of 15-lipoxygenase type 2 and 12-lipoxygenases of bovine corneal epithelium. (6/5105)

Bovine corneal epithelium contains arachidonate 12- and 15-lipoxygenase activity, while human corneal epithelium contains only 15-lipoxygenase activity. Our purpose was to identify the corneal 12- and 15-lipoxygenase isozymes. We used cDNA cloning to isolate the amino acid coding nucleotide sequences of two bovine lipoxygenases. The translated sequence of one lipoxygenase was 82% identical with human 15-lipoxygenase type 2 and 75% identical with mouse 8-lipoxygenase, whereas the other translated nucleotide sequence was 87% identical with human 12-lipoxygenase of the platelet type. Expression of 15-lipoxygenase type 2 and platelet type 12-lipoxygenase mRNAs were detected by Northern analysis. In addition to these two lipoxygenases, 12-lipoxygenase of leukocyte (tracheal) type was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequencing, and Northern analysis. Finally, PCR and sequencing suggested that human corneal epithelium contains 15-lipoxygenase types 1 and 2.  (+info)

Characterization of proteoglycans synthesized by cultured corneal fibroblasts in response to transforming growth factor beta and fetal calf serum. (7/5105)

A culture system was developed to analyze the relationship between proteoglycans and growth factors during corneal injury. Specifically, the effects of transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-beta1) and fetal calf serum on proteoglycan synthesis in corneal fibroblasts were examined. Glycosaminoglycan synthesis and sulfation were determined using selective polysaccharidases. Proteoglycan core proteins were analyzed using gel electrophoresis and Western blotting. Cells cultured in 10% dialyzed fetal calf serum exhibited decreased synthesis of more highly sulfated chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate compared with cells cultured in 1% dialyzed fetal calf serum. The amount and sulfation of the glycosaminoglycans was not significantly influenced by TGF-beta1. The major proteoglycan species secreted into the media were decorin and perlecan. Decorin was glycanated with chondroitin sulfate. Perlecan was linked to either chondroitin sulfate, heparan sulfate, or both chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate. Decorin synthesis was reduced by either TGF-beta1 or serum. At early time points, both TGF-beta1 and serum induced substantial increases in perlecan bearing chondroitin sulfate and/or heparan sulfate chains. In contrast, after extended periods in culture, the amount of perlecan bearing heparan sulfate chains was unaffected by TGF-beta1 and decreased by serum. The levels of perlecan bearing chondroitin sulfate chains were elevated with TGF-beta1 treatment and were decreased with serum. Because both decorin and perlecan bind growth factors and are proposed to modulate their activity, changes in the expression of either of these proteoglycans could substantially affect the cellular response to injury.  (+info)

Effect of leukocytes on corneal cellular proliferation and wound healing. (8/5105)

PURPOSE: To establish whether fucoidin, by blocking the adhesion of leukocytes on the limbal vascular endothelium, prevents extravasation of the cells from the blood stream into the limbal stroma and the wounded area after corneal injury. Successful leukocyte blocking enabled investigation of the influence of leukocytes on corneal cellular proliferation after corneal wounding. METHODS: Thirty-two New Zealand White rabbits were used. Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and a standardized alkali corneal wound were used as models in two sets of experiments. In half of the injured rabbits fucoidin was used to prevent leukocytes from leaving the local vessels. The efficiency of the blocking technique was evaluated by counting the number of leukocytes in the limbal and wounded corneal areas. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was used as a marker for proliferative activity. RESULTS: The infiltration of leukocytes into the limbus and the cornea after PRK and alkali injuries can be blocked by fucoidin. The healing rate of corneal epithelium after alkali burn was retarded in the absence of leukocytes. PCNA expression was enhanced in the presence of leukocytes. Fucoidin per se had no influence on corneal cell proliferation and wound healing. CONCLUSIONS: Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) can be prevented from entering the cornea in vivo by fucoidin after PRK and after alkali burn. The corneal epithelial healing rate is delayed in the absence of PMNs in vivo, and PCNA expression increases in the presence of leukocytes.  (+info)

A novel paradigm for non-fibrotic regeneration of the cornea: The role of TGF-beta superfamily during embryonic cornea...A novel paradigm for non-fibrotic regeneration of the cornea: The role of TGF-beta superfamily during embryonic cornea...
Damage to the cornea results in fibrotic scarring, leading to the loss of tissue transparency and reduced visual acuity. In fact, corneal opacity is the worlds third leading cause of blindness. Other than transplantation of the affected tissue, there is no treatment to prevent corneal scarring. For these reasons, there is a need to develop anti-fibrotic therapies to promote corneal regeneration after injury. Embryonic tissue has a remarkable regenerative capacity. However, prior to this study, it was not known if the embryonic cornea possessed the ability to regenerate. I hypothesized wounded embryonic corneas wound exhibit non-fibrotic regeneration, and could be used to elucidate novel mechanisms of cornea regeneration. I developed a multistep microdissection method that allows access to the embryonic cornea and several other tissues undergoing organogenesis. Utilizing this methodology, I found embryonic corneal wounds induce a transient population of scar-forming myofibroblast, and ultimately ...

Purpose: : To investigate human cornea proteome. The human cornea is composed of several layers interacting in a complex manner and possessing specific functions, like eye protection and optical clearness. Only few proteomic studies of mammalian cornea have been performed leading to the identification of less than 200 proteins in human corneas. Methods: : The present study explores the proteome of the intact normal human cornea using a shot-gun nanoLC-MS/MS strategy and an LTQ Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Results: : A total of 2070 distinct corneal proteins were identified from five human cornea samples, which represents a 14-fold improvement in the number of proteins identified so far for human cornea.

Glaucoma: The Difference Is In the Cornea - Natural Eye Care Blog: News & Research on VisionGlaucoma: The Difference Is In the Cornea - Natural Eye Care Blog: News & Research on Vision
The corneas of people with glaucoma seem to exhibit different qualities than those who do not suffer from this condition.. A French study determines that corneas of patients with glaucoma are more likely to be less elastic and lose their proper shape than healthy corneas. The researchers assessed the condition of almost 500 eyes with and without glaucoma and found that the eyes of patients with glaucoma tended to have a higher corneal resistance factor (CRF) and lower corneal hysteresis (CH) - both signs of poor corneal biomechanics.. Corneal resistance refers to the flexibility or none flexibility of the cornea - a higher factor means that the cornea is less flexible. I higher factor means that the cornea is less flexible.. Corneal hysteresis refers to the ability of the cells comprising the cornea to to absorb and scatter energy. A lower hysteresis factor means that the cornea is less able to accomplish these tasks - which are important, among other things, for blocking damaging UV radiation ...

CorneaCornea
The cornea has unmyelinated nerve endings sensitive to touch, temperature and chemicals; a touch of the cornea causes an involuntary reflex to close the eyelid. Because transparency is of prime importance, the healthy cornea does not have or need blood vessels within it. Instead, oxygen dissolves in tears and then diffuses throughout the cornea to keep it healthy.[5] Similarly, nutrients are transported via diffusion from the tear fluid through the outside surface and the aqueous humour through the inside surface. Nutrients also come via neurotrophins supplied by the nerves of the cornea. In humans, the cornea has a diameter of about 11.5 mm and a thickness of 0.5-0.6 mm in the center and 0.6-0.8 mm at the periphery. Transparency, avascularity, the presence of immature resident immune cells, and immunologic privilege makes the cornea a very special tissue.. The most abundant soluble protein in mammalian cornea is albumin.[6]. The human cornea borders with the sclera via the corneal limbus. In ...

Cornea Procedures<...Cornea Procedures<...
This is a more recently developed procedure that involves only replacing the innermost layers of the cornea rather than the whole cornea as in penetrating keratoplasty. In conditions such as Fuchs endothelial dystrophy, the innermost layer called the endothelium is diseased. This results in swelling of the cornea causing decreased vision. Previously to replace the valuable endothelial layer the whole central cornea was replaced by performing a Penetrating Keratoplasty. With innovative techniques, we are now able to replace just the innermost layer.. The procedure involves peeling off the inner two layers of the diseased cornea. A donor cornea is then split or dissected to create a flap of the inner two layers and a small portion of stroma (to provide substance for manipulation). This 3 layer donor is then folded and inserted into the eye. It is then unfolded and lifted up against the patients cornea using an air bubble. The air bubble is then left in the eye to hold the donor cornea in ...

Scientists characterize proteome of human corneaScientists characterize proteome of human cornea
The results from this research may open the door to future therapeutics for a myriad of corneal disorders. It is essential to know the biochemical composition of normal healthy corneas in the effort to understand the molecular mechanisms behind corneal disorders, emphasizes Dr. Enghild. By comparative proteomic studies of diseased and normal corneas we can identify differences in the expression profiles that may suggest avenues for therapeutic interventions. Because the cornea is so accessible, the potential for developing effective drugs for the treatment of corneal diseases is good.

The cornea is the translucent part of the eye that covers the anterior portion of the eye. It covers the pupil, iris, and anterior chamber (fluid-filled inside of the eye). Its function is to refract, or bend, light. It is composed of proteins and cells. It does not contain blood vessels. Some of the blood vessels may cloud the cornea and prevent it from refracting light properly and adversely affect vision. The cornea inclines to repair itself quickly from minor abrasions but deeper abrasions may cause scars to form on the cornea that causes the cornea to lose its transparency, leading to visual impairment.. Cornea displaces depending on the disease that is causing vision problems. For example, Fuchs dystrophy only have a problem with the back layer of the cornea and require single cell layer from donor cornea in a procedure known as DMEK. Others conditions such as Keratoconus, the disease only affects the front part of the cornea, only that diseased portion is replaced in a procedure known as ...

Role of Endothelial Cells in Deswelling of Organ Cultured Human Corneas prior to Transplantation | IOVS | ARVO JournalsRole of Endothelial Cells in Deswelling of Organ Cultured Human Corneas prior to Transplantation | IOVS | ARVO Journals
Purpose: Human corneas experience swelling while being stored in organ culture. Before corneal transplantation a deswelling process using hyperosmolar culture media is necessary. Deswelling should result in an optimal central corneal thickness (CCT) of approximately 550 micron to facilitate corneal transplant surgery by adjusting CCT to the recipients corneal thickness. Little is known about the role of endothelial cells in the osmotically induced deswelling process after organ culture. This study compares the deswelling kinetics of corneas with intact endothelium and disrupted or absent endothelium by measuring CCT over time using optical coherence tomography (OCT).. Methods: 10 human donor cornea pairs (donor age above 60 years) were cultured in MEM + antibiotics + 2% fetal calf serum for 21 up to 28 days. Right and left corneas were alternately assigned to one of two dehydration groups. Dehydration in the first group (Endothelial group = EG) was induced by using a serum-containing deswelling ...

TREATMENT AND SURGERY OF THE CORNEA at MIRAMAR - Miramar Eye Specialists Medical GroupTREATMENT AND SURGERY OF THE CORNEA at MIRAMAR - Miramar Eye Specialists Medical Group
Corneal Transplant Surgery. The cornea is the clear covering of the front of the eye which bends, or refracts, light rays as they enter the eye. For clear vision to occur, the cornea must have the correct shape and clarity to focus incoming light rays precisely on the retina at the back of the eye. When the cornea becomes cloudy or misshapen from injury, infection or disease, transplantation may be recommended to replace it.. Corneal transplants are usually performed with local anesthesia so there is no pain. During the procedure, the cornea is replaced with one from a human donor. The new cornea carries little risk of rejection and can last for many years.. DSEK Surgery. DSEK is the latest technique in corneal transplantation. Short for Descemet-stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty, DSEK offers clear post-operative vision and short recovery time to patients in need of new corneas..

Justine Watson from Kent forever grateful to the families of her cornea donors for giving her the gift of sight. During National Eye Health week (21 to 27 September), NHS Blood and Transplant is encouraging people to consider giving the gift of sight, due to the urgent need for more cornea donors.. One in 10 people on the NHS Organ Donor Register have indicated that they do not wish to donate their corneas, making corneas the part of the body that most people say they do not wish to donate. (1). Post-lockdown, NHS Blood and Transplants donated cornea numbers are 54% below the level needed to supply hospitals across the country.. As of 15 September, there were 161 corneas in NHS Blood and Transplants eye banks. The aim is to have 350 corneas available at any one time to supply to hospitals.. This has led to potential cornea recipients having to endure a longer wait to have their sight restored or their condition improved..

The cornea is the primary refractive element of the eye and is also fundamental to the protection of the visual system. Collagen is the major constituent of the cornea, where it is organised in a lattice that enables corneal transparency. Proteoglycan macromolecules are thought to regulate the diameter and spatial order of collagen fibrils in the cornea, which are both pre-requisites for corneal transparency, although the mechanisms by which they organise fibrils are not fully elucidated. This investigation examined the morphology, morphometry and organisation of proteoglycans three-dimensionally, in both normal and genetically altered mouse corneas, to gain a greater understanding of proteoglycan structure-function relationships. In summary, we found that proteoglycans are primarily responsible for the remarkable collagen organisation in the mouse cornea, which allows for corneal transparency. The self- association of proteoglycans into complexes is likely to result in a robust attachment of ...

Cornea / Corneal Transplant - Opticare Eye Health & SurgeryCornea / Corneal Transplant - Opticare Eye Health & Surgery
INTACS:. For patients with thin, irregular corneas from keratoconus or ectasia after refractive surgery, highly skilled optometrists can help improve vision with glasses, contact lenses, and specialty contact lenses. If vision cannot be corrected satisfactorily, or if the condition is progressive, surgery might help allow the vision to be corrected and progression of the irregularity to stop. Cornea transplantation is one such option, but can be deferred by a procedure called INTACS.. INTACS involves implanting a pair of clear ring segments into the cornea in order to strengthen it and make it more regular. Two small channels are made within the cornea at approximately 75% depth and the ring segments are slid into place. The center of the cornea is not disturbed, the partial thickness depth of the rings means that the eye is not penetrated, and the effects of the ring segments can be reversed or adjusted by removing them. They can improve the best attainable vision with glasses or contact ...

The adult human cornea measures 10-12 mm horizontally and 10-11 mm vertically. The average corneal thickness is 555 ± 37 μm centrally,1 and 600-690 μm peripherally.2 The cornea has an important function in focusing light on the retina; it contributes 43.25 Diopters (approximately 75% of the total) to the total refractive power of the eye. The cornea is covered by the tear film, which functions as first-line defense against infections. The normal tear film contains components of the complement cascade, immunoglobulins, and cytokines. It lubricates and supplies the avascular cornea with essential nutrients. Proper lubrication depends on blinking, mediated by intact eyelids. Blinking helps to remove debris from the ocular surface and distributes the tear film evenly on the cornea. The corneal layers from front to back include the epithelium (4-5 layers) and its basement membrane, Bowmans layer, stroma, Descemets membrane, and endothelium (single layer). ...

Cornea and PupilCornea and Pupil
While this transparent ocular structure is essential to visual function, the importance of creating a realistic cornea in prostheses and in illustrations is often overlooked. Medical textbooks offer several formulas for drawing the cornea but, as others have noted, these mainly emphasize the different radii of the anterior and posterior surfaces (Warren, 1988). Ocularists and illustrators specializing in ophthalmology recognize that the corneal shape is the structure most important in portraying reflected light. The corneal curve is best observed in cross-sectional illustrations. If the illustration fails to show the varying thickness of the cornea from center to margin, the illustrator has not accurately depicted the authors written explanation.. Many ocularists make the cornea a perfect partial sphere. While this practice is acceptable, it should be noted that the cornea is spherical only at the central optical axis. From this central portion (3-6 mm in diameter, 0.3-0.5 mm thick) to the ...

V201801 - Treatment of corneal stem cell deficiencies by gene and cell therapy - DIM Thérapie GéniqueV201801 - Treatment of corneal stem cell deficiencies by gene and cell therapy - DIM Thérapie Génique
Valérie vanneaux and Nicolas Ferry. Traumatic ocular or chemical lesions often destroy the cornea, which is the protective transparent cell layer of the eye. The cornea can regenerate from stem cells located in the limb, a specific place of the eye. When the limb is destroyed, there is no possibility of regenerating the cornea. In this case, the cornea is replaced by a connective tissue that is not transparent and the vision is permanently lost. To overcome this problem, the goal of our project is to transform cells of the patients epidermis (epithelial cells) into corneal stem cells by transferring a particular gene called PAX6. This gene transfer is performed by an original system of gene transposition, the Sleeping Beauty system. After transduction the epithelial cells become corneal stem cells that are grafted to the patient to remake the cornea.. Doc/post-doc. Funding ...

Cornea engraftment is the most common organ transplantation practiced around the world. The cornea is totally devoid of blood or lymphatic vessels, except in a peripheral zone called the limbus. This property, named corneal angiogenic privilege, is conserved among all mammals to maintain cornea transparency and optimal visual acuity. In pathological conditions such as trauma, infections or hypoxia, blood and lymphatic vessels can grow into the avascular cornea, reducing visual acuity. In case of keratoplasty, it also considerably increases the risk of cornea graft rejection and is so considered as a high-risk keratoplasty. Treatments improving cornea survival after transplantation need to be developed, notably aiming at blocking corneal neovascularization. ...

Patent US6342053 - Apparatus for cornea reshaping - Google PatentsPatent US6342053 - Apparatus for cornea reshaping - Google Patents
An apparatus is described for use in combination with a noninvasive ophthalmological method for cornea reshaping in order to correct ocular refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. This apparatus is called a coupler and it is made of a material which is substantially transparent to the light energy used to reshape the cornea. The coupler conducts heat from the anterior portion of the cornea during the heating of the stroma by the light energy. The reshaping is enhanced by the coupler as it has a corneal engaging surface with a radius of curvature which approximates the desired emmetropic shape of the cornea. In addition to being a heat sink and template for the eye, the coupler also acts as a positioner and restrainer of the eye by attaching itself to the eye via an annular suction ring. Finally, the coupler also acts as a mask to prevent accidental exposure of the central optic zone to any light energy during the cornea reshaping procedure.

The cornea of the eye is the outer layer of the eye that protects the pupils, iris and anterior chamber. The main function of the cornea of the eye is to prevent foreign objects from entering the eye, as well as refracting light when entering the eye. Unlike other body parts, the cornea of the eye does not have blood vessels to channel nutrients. Corneas get nutrition from tears and aqueous humor (fluid that surrounds the cornea of the eye). In addition, the cornea of the eye is also composed of proteins and cells that are different from other tissues in our body. Layers in the Cornea of ​​the Eye The cornea of ​​the eye has five layers with different functions. The following is an explanation of the five layers in the cornea of ​​the eye: 1. Epithelium The epithelium is the outermost layer of the cornea of ​​the eye.

N2 - The cornea is particularly suited to gene therapy. The cornea is readily accessible, normally transparent, and is somewhat sequestrated from the general circulation and the systemic immune system. The principle of genetic therapy for the cornea is to use an appropriate vector system to transfer a gene to the cornea itself, or to the ocular environs, or systemically, so that a transgenic protein will be expressed that will modulate congenital or acquired disease. The protein may be structural such as a collagen, or functionally active such as an enzyme, cytokine or growth factor that may modulate a pathological process. Alternatively, gene expression may be silenced by the use of modalities such as antisense oligonucleotides. Interestingly, despite a very considerable amount of work in animal models, clinical translation directed to gene therapy of ...

5 Facts About the Cornea - Dr. John Goosey5 Facts About the Cornea - Dr. John Goosey
There are five layers of the cornea. The outer epithelium is smooth to absorb oxygen and nutrients from tears. It also blocks foreign matter from getting into the eye. Next is Bowmans layer, which is a transparent sheet of collagen that can form scar tissue if damaged. The stroma is primarily water and collagen and makes up about 90 percent of the cornea. It gives the cornea its form, elasticity, and strength. Descemets membrane is a tough layer of tissue that protects against injuries and infection. Finally, the endothelium is a thin layer inside the cornea that serves to defend against fluid buildup in the stroma and keep it transparent. In most cases of surgery or vision correction, an eye specialist will provide insight on the procedure by informing you about such layers ...

The relative contributions of optical aberrations of the cornea and the crystalline lens to the final image quality of the human eye were studied. The aberrations of the entire eye were obtained from pairs of double-pass retinal images, and the aberrations of the cornea were obtained from videokeratographic data. Third-order spherical aberration and coma were significantly larger for the cornea than for the complete eye, indicating a significant role of the lens in compensating for corneal aberrations. In a second experiment retinal images were recorded in an eye before and after we neutralized the aberrations of the cornea by having the subjects wear swimming goggles filled with saline water, providing a direct estimate of the optical performance of the crystalline lens.. © 1998 Optical Society of America.

A Pilot Study to Identify At-Risk Subjects for Post-LASIK Ectasia Using Brillouin Microscopy. The biomechanical properties of the cornea are essential for its function. Corneal collagen fibers provide the mechanical strength to withstand the intraocular pressure; if corneal tissue becomes abnormally weak, corneal ectasia (i.e. thinning and bulging) ensues, causing severe vision degradation. Abnormal weakening of the cornea is a dreaded complication of LASIK surgery. When clinical symptoms manifest, corneal ectasia is often at an advanced stage that leads to corneal transplant. If inherent corneal weakness were detected early, at-risk subjects could be consulted to avoid LASIK surgery; however, current clinical instruments only provide morphological information. This proposal addresses this need through Brillouin microscopy, a novel imaging technology that maps the elastic modulus of material without contact and with 3D resolution. The central hypothesis of the proposal is that low Brillouin ...

Laser-scanning in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) of the cornea is becoming an increasingly popular tool to examine the living human cornea with cellular-level detail in both healthy and pathologic states. Here, we describe the use of the IVCM technique to examine the processes of tissue healing and regeneration in the living human eye after biomaterial implantation. The regenerative response can be assessed by performing longitudinal IVCM imaging of a laboratory-made, cell-free biomaterial, after direct implantation into a pathologic eye as a primary alternative to human donor tissue transplantation.. ...

Recent advances in the design of artificial corneasRecent advances in the design of artificial corneas
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:. Artificial corneas are being developed to meet a shortage of donor corneas and to address cases in which allografting is contraindicated. A range of artificial corneas has been developed. Here we review several newer designs and especially those inspired by naturally occurring biomaterials found with the human body and elsewhere.. RECENT FINDINGS:. Recent trends in the development of artificial corneas indicate a move towards the use of materials derived from native sources including decellularized corneal tissue and tissue substitutes synthesized by corneal cells in vitro when grown either on their own or in conjunction with novel protein-based scaffolds. Biologically inspired materials are also being considered for implantation on their own with the view to promoting endogenous corneal tissue.. SUMMARY:. More recent attempts at making artificial corneas have taken a more nature-based or nature-inspired approach. Several will in the near future be likely to be available ...

3D-printing human corneas - News - The Chemical Engineer3D-printing human corneas - News - The Chemical Engineer
HUMAN corneas have been 3D-bioprinted using a specially designed bio-ink containing corneal cells.. The cornea serves a vital role as the protective outer layer of the eye, but if it becomes scarred by burns or lacerations it can lead to blindness. The cornea is also susceptible to damage from the infectious disease trachoma, and around 15m people worldwide suffer from blindness due to trachoma or scarring. Corneas can be transplanted, but there is a significant shortage of corneas available, leading scientists to seek methods of fabricating them using bioprinting.. In 3D bioprinting, cells are combined with a biomaterial and deposited layer by layer to build tissue constructs. This layer by layer printing is advantageous when trying to recreate a human cornea because the stroma - the thick, transparent middle layer in the cornea - is composed of around 250 layers known as lamellae. The lamellae are made of collagen and are responsible for maintaining the strength and shape of the cornea. ...

We evaluated the corneal biomechanical properties in a population of healthy children in China. As far as we know, this is the first report of quantitative assessment of the corneal biomechanics in children population using CST. We used the newly updated CST software, which provided two more parameters (A1DA and A2DA) than previous versions. This helped to measure corneal deformation more comprehensively. We also assessed the symmetry of corneal biomechanics between the both eyes and found obviously interocular symmetry in SE, CCT, IOP, and corneal biomechanics in healthy children eyes. We also found that several CST biomechanical parameters in children are modified by CCT and IOP, while age, SE, and sex exert little influence on the CST measurements in this population.. Our observations of interocular symmetric biometry were consistent with previous studies [19-21]. Using ORA, Zheng et al. [22] demonstrated an obvious symmetry of CH and CRF in bilateral rabbit corneas. We also identified two ...

Cornea Surgery | Dr. Thomas John, M.D.Cornea Surgery | Dr. Thomas John, M.D.
The traditional corneal transplant surgery involves removing the diseased or damaged tissue from you reye and replacing it with the healthy donor tissue. The entire operation is done under a surgical microscope. You will be asleep during the procedure and therefore will not feel any pain.. Most of the diseased cornea is removed surgically after using a circular blade (trephine) to cut into the cornea. This is then removed by using corneal micro-scissors. A similar procedure is performed on the donor cornea and the donor disc which is similar in size to the cornea that was removed is used to replace the patients cornea with healthy donor tissue. The donor cornea is held in place with very fine stitches using suture material that is usually thinner than the human hair.. The newer corneal transplant procedures only replace the diseased part of the cornea with a similar healthy layer of donor corneal tissue. These procedures are together known as lamellar keratoplasty. Dr. John is considered to be ...

Lirias: The transitional zone between limbus and peripheral cornea. An immunohistochemical studyLirias: The transitional zone between limbus and peripheral cornea. An immunohistochemical study
PURPOSE. The authors investigated the phenotypic characteristics of basally located transitional cells in peripheral superior cornea, characterized previously by their coexpression of cytokeratin 19 and vimentin and their negativity for AE5. METHODS. Twenty adult human corneas were studied, using in situ immunohistochemical techniques and a panel of specific monoclonal antibodies against various surface and cytoplasmic molecules. RESULTS. The transitional cells shared staining characteristics with limbal basal cells in their expression of alpha 6 beta 4-integrin, metallothionein, AE1, and transferrin receptor. CONCLUSIONS. These transitional epithelial cells exhibit a unique phenotype differing from that of the surrounding basal epithelial cells in the peripheral cornea but analogous to that of limbal basal cells. These findings further corroborate the hypothesis that, at least from an immunohistochemical point of view, transitional cells in the superior peripheral cornea exhibit stem cell ...

Bulging Corneas Affect 1 in 2,000 Americans - Atwal Eye CareBulging Corneas Affect 1 in 2,000 Americans - Atwal Eye Care
For years the best treatment for patients with serious, advanced stage keratoconus was a corneal transplant. This is also a treatment for people who cannot wear rigid contact lenses due to the condition of their corneas.. Today, keratoconus patients have another option: corneal cross-linking (CXL).. The long-awaited FDA approval of corneal cross-linking is an exciting treatment option that is now offered at Atwal Eye Care / Buffalo Eye Care Associates for keratoconus patients in Buffalo. It is not a cure for keratoconus. But the treatment may help to strengthen the cornea so it can hold the proper spherical shape, thereby improving vision. Its an amazingly simple process: our doctors apply riboflavin vitamin B2 drops to your eyes and then apply a controlled amount of ultraviolet A light to the eyes. New bonds in the collagen fibers of the cornea are created, adding strength so the cornea can better hold the proper shape.. Schedule an eye exam today for yourself or a loved one to learn how ...

Keratoprosthesis - WikipediaKeratoprosthesis - Wikipedia
Keratoprosthesis is a surgical procedure where a diseased cornea is replaced with an artificial cornea. Traditionally, keratoprosthesis is recommended after a person has had a failure of one or more donor corneal transplants. More recently, a less invasive, non-penetrating artificial cornea has been developed which can be used in more routine cases of corneal blindness. While conventional cornea transplant uses donor tissue for transplant, an artificial cornea is used in the Keratoprosthesis procedure. The surgery is performed to restore vision in patients suffering from severely damaged cornea due to congenital birth defects, infections, injuries and burns. Keratoprotheses are made of clear plastic with excellent tissue tolerance and optical properties. They vary in design, size and even the implantation techniques may differ across different treatment centers. The procedure is done by ophthalmologists, often on an outpatient basis. The idea of artificial cornea was first proposed in 1789 by ...

Collagen and mature elastic fibre organisation as a function of depth in the human cornea and limbus -ORCACollagen and mature elastic fibre organisation as a function of depth in the human cornea and limbus -ORCA
A network of circumferentially oriented collagen fibrils exists in the periphery of the human cornea, and is thought to be pivotal in maintaining corneal biomechanical stability and curvature. However, it is unknown whether or not this key structural arrangement predominates throughout the entire corneal thickness or exists as a discrete feature at a particular tissue depth; or if it incorporates any elastic fibres and how, with respect to tissue depth, the circumcorneal annulus integrates with the orthogonally arranged collagen of the central cornea. To address these issues we performed a three-dimensional investigation of fibrous collagen and elastin architecture in the peripheral and central human cornea using synchrotron X-ray scattering and non-linear microscopy. This showed that the network of collagen fibrils circumscribing the human cornea is located in the posterior one-third of the tissue and is interlaced with significant numbers of mature elastic fibres which mirror the alignment of ...

Unusual giant nodules on the posterior surface of Descemets membrane were observed in two out of over 400 corneae examined during routine histopathological reporting. Both of the patients, a 60-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, had histories of corneal trauma. Neither was associated with chronic keratitis or corneal dystrophy. Light microscopy showed these nodules to be composed of material resembling Descemets membrane. Histochemical and electron microscopical preparations identified oxytalan fibres within the outer layers of the nodules. These fibres are not a feature of the normal adult Descemets membrane. The findings are discussed and compared with other nodular lesions of Descemets membrane. ...

I have written before on the age of merging electronics and man (Bionics). It would seem that science is forever creeping closer to that elusive dream of growing human parts. Scientist reported in an article in Sci Transl Med 25 August 2010: Vol. 2, Issue 46, p. 46, on the possibility of implanting biosynthetic corneas.. Corneas from human donors are used to replace damaged tissue and treat corneal blindness, but there is a severe worldwide shortage of donor corneas. We conducted a phase 1 clinical study in which biosynthetic mimics of corneal extracellular matrix were implanted to replace the pathologic anterior cornea of 10 patients who had significant vision loss, with the aim of facilitating endogenous tissue regeneration without the use of human donor tissue.. The biosynthetic implants remained stably integrated and avascular for 24 months after surgery, without the need for long-term use of the steroid immunosuppression that is required for traditional allotransplantation.

The epithelium is removed by excimer laser (trans-PRK method), which means that the edges of the cornea are not jagged as in the case of treatments using so-called hockey (PRK) or other form of PRK which is the use of hockey with a plastic cover - EBK. The epithelium is removed by excimer laser (trans-PRK method), which means that the edges of the cornea are not jagged as in the case of treatments using so-called hockey. This allows the epithelium to be rebuilt in such a way that the epithelium regularly covers the cornea creating a perfectly smooth surface. This procedure is performed with a single laser and is completely safe for the patient. Another procedure is cross-linking (after epithelial abrasion), which aims to strengthen corneal collagen bonds and inhibit cone progression. The difference between the CLX treatment is that in this case UV rays penetrate deeper layers of the cornea, which results in an increase in the area of ​​collagen fiber strengthening.

Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK) is a sight threatening ocular infection often requiring a specific and prompt laboratory diagnosis. Isolation of Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) in culture provides the most reliable and specific method and is considered as the Gold Standard in the laboratory diagnosis of HSK in spite of its low sensitivity. Using cell lines of corneal origin for virus isolation may be beneficial under such circumstances, since these cells have been shown to be excellent substrates for the growth of HSV-1 isolated from the cornea. We report a comparative study of a novel human corneal epithelial cell line (HCE) and the Vero cell line in the isolation of HSV-1 from corneal scrapings employing a shell vial assay. Corneal scrapings were obtained from 17 patients with a clinical diagnosis of HSK. All the cases were confirmed by virological investigations (PCR and viral antigen detection positive, n = 15, PCR positive, n = 1, Viral antigen positive, n = 1). Scrapings obtained from 10 patients

Finite Element Model of Cornea Deformation | SciweaversFinite Element Model of Cornea Deformation | Sciweavers
Finite Element Model of Cornea Deformation - Abstract. Cornea surgeons have observed that changes in cornea curvature can follow cataract surgery and cause astigmatism. The placement of surgical incisions has been shown to influence these curvature changes. Though empirical data has been collected about this phenomenon, a biomechanical model has not been employed in predicting post-surgical outcomes. This work implemented an incised finite element model of the eye to investigate factors influencing corneal shape after surgery. In particular, the effects of eye muscle forces and intra-ocular pressure were simulated. Cornea shape change was computed via finite element analysis, and the resulting change in cornea curvature was measured by fitting quadratic curves to the horizontal and vertical meridians of the cornea. Results suggest that these two sources of deforming force counteract each other and contribute to astigmatism in perpendicular directions.

LASEK eye surgery is the most advanced, high-tech form of PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy). PRK was the first laser vision correction procedure approved by the FDA and it continues to be a safe, effective choice for people who are not LASIK candidates.. Some people can not have LASIK because their corneas are too thin or scarred. A healthy eye needs a certain amount of corneal thickness for the cornea to retain its strength and stability. For some patients, the cornea may not be thick enough for the surgeon to make the protective flap needed in the LASIK procedure. In such cases, Drs. Liu and Beers perform an advanced surface ablation treatment called LASEK.. Drs. Beers, Liu and Shahinian are widely recognized as experts in LASEK surgery. They have each given numerous talks about the benefits of LASEK and other surface treatments for people with thin corneas at national conferences.

TY - JOUR. T1 - Biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans by the separated tissues of the embryonic chick cornea. AU - Hart, Gerald Warren. PY - 1978. Y1 - 1978. N2 - Corneal tissues (epithelium, endothelium, and stroma) were isolated from chick embryos at 14, 17, and 20 days of incubation and immediately labeled in vitro with d-[6-3H]glucosamine and H2 35SO4. Amount of label incorporated into each type of glycosaminoglycan or into glycopeptides was determined by specific degradative techniques, in conjunction with gel filtration chromatography. Results suggested that corneal epithelium synthesized little, if any, corneal keratan sulfates, but that corneal endothelium may have synthesized small amounts of corneal keratan sulfates. Nearly all corneal keratan sulfates were derived from the stroma. Corneal heparan sulfates appeared to be derived predominantly from corneal epithelium at later stages of development. Corneal endothelium contributed large proportions of the hyaluronic acids of the cornea. ...

Cornea plana congenita (CNA2) is a recessively inherited eye disease affecting development of the cornea, and leading to moderate impairment of visual capacity. The corneal changes are caused by structural abnormalities in keratocan, a leucine-rich protein component of a small proteoglycan, which together with other keratan sulfate proteoglycans is important for the transparency of the cornea. The cornea is thin and unusually flat, corneal limbus is hazy, opacities are frequent in the parenchyma, and arcus senilis developes at an early age. Hyperopia, up to +10 D, is the consequence of corneal changes.

What is Cornea?. Cornea is the transparent part of the eye in front which allows light to enter the eye and helps in forming a clear image.. What is corneal transplantation?. A corneal transplant involves replacement of a damaged cornea with a healthy one from a donor. An unhealthy cornea affects the vision by either not allowing light to enter the eye or causing significant scattering or distortion of light. This causes blurry vision. A cornea transplant is required in these cases to restore functional vision.. Sometimes diseases of the cornea including infections can cause significant weakening of the cornea. In these cases corneal transplants are performed in order to protect the integrity of the eye, relieve pain and remove the diseased cornea.. Who all can benefit from corneal transplantation?. Corneal transplantation may be required in various eye diseases which can include the following:. • Opacities in cornea due to previous infections such as corneal ulcer, herpes of the eye or eye ...

Corneal injuries blind approximately 15 million people worldwide annually. Current methods of treatment have several disadvantages with respect to cost and availability. This study evaluated a small intestine submucosa (SIS) xenograft treatment for a severe corneal injury. SIS could be a favorable alternative to the current treatment methods, because it is inexpensive to produce and abundant where pigs are consumed. A severe ocular injury was created in the right eye of 5 rabbits by n-heptanol and mechanical debridement of the cornea and limbus. The cornea was then evaluated with fluorescence stain and a SIS xenograft was used for treatment. Clinical evaluations were made 14 days post-operatively and graded as a success if the corneal surface appeared smooth and avascular, or graded as a failure if the corneal surface demonstrated revascularization or irregularity. Histological evaluation of the cornea was done after 14 days and graded as a success if corneal epithelium was present without conjunctival

The cornea consists of a thin surface epithelium (non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium) overlying a layer of dense fibrous connective tissue, called the substantia propria. The epithelium of the cornea is continuous with the epithelium of the conjunctiva, both that of the eyeball itself and that of the inside of the eyelid; however the corneal epithelium is very thin (only a few cells thick) which leads to its transparency. The basement membrane between the corneal epithelium and the substantia propria is exceptionally thick and is called Bowmans membrane. Collagen of the cornea is organized into extremely regular layers. All the collagen fibers in one layer arranged in parallel, and alternating layers run in different directions. Corneal connective tissue has no blood vessels. Even though cells of the cornea are not very active metabolically, they still need oxygen and nutrients. As long as the cornea is in direct contact with air, oxygen can be absorbed directly and nutrients can ...
