Mast cell distribution and neutral protease expression in acute and chronic allergic conjunctivitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Allergic eye disease has a variety of clinical manifestations including seasonal atopic conjunctivitis (SAC), perennial atopic conjunctivitis (PAC), atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC), and atopic blepharoconjunctivitis (ABC). We have investigated the number, distribution and protease expression of

The effect of topically applied secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor on the eosinophil response in the late phase of allergic conjunctivitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE This study examined the effects of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), a protease inhibitor in tears, in allergic conjunctivitis. METHODS Conjunctiva of male Hartley guinea pigs sensitized with ovalbumin were treated with SLPI or the vehicle 10 min before antigen challenge or

Increased conjunctival expression of protease activated receptor 2 (PAR-2) in seasonal allergic conjunctivitis: a role for abnormal conjunctival epithelial permeability in disease pathogenesis?

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Aeroallergen exposure to the conjunctival epithelium in seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) may induce a cellular stress response that disrupts the barrier properties of the conjunctival epithelium, resulting in allergic disease. Whether such changes occur in SAC is unknown. Epithelial

Clinical implications of mast cell involvement in allergic conjunctivitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

The conjunctiva is a common site for the allergic inflammatory response due to it being highly vascularized, having constant exposure to environmental pollutants and allergenic pollens and having a unique conjunctival associated lymphoid tissue. The primary morbidity of anterior surface conjunctival

The murine CCR3 receptor regulates both eosinophilia and hyperresponsiveness in IgE-mediated allergic conjunctivitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Allergic conjunctivitis is characterised by early-phase clinical symptoms and late-phase inflammation in the conjunctiva. The role of different chemokine receptors in allergic conjunctivitis, especially during the early-phase reaction, is still unclear. We investigated the importance of CC

Two outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis in Africa due to genotype III coxsackievirus A24 variant.

Only registered users can translate articles

Reported here are two outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis that occurred in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and in Morocco in the summers of 2003 and 2004, respectively, with a large impact on public health. Virus was isolated from the conjunctival swabs of 30 Congolese and 20 Moroccan

SLPI prevents cytokine release in mite protease-exposed conjunctival epithelial cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

House dust mites are a major source of allergens associated with allergic diseases including allergic conjunctivitis. Here, we demonstrate that mite-derived serine protease activity induces the release of cytokines from human ocular conjunctival epithelial cells in vitro and innate antiproteases,

Ligneous conjunctivitis: biochemical evidence for hypofibrinolysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Ligneous conjunctivitis (LC) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by the growth of "woody" plaques on ocular and extraocular mucosa. These lesions are comprised of fibrin and both direct and indirect evidence implicates hypofibrinolysis as the primary defect in LC. To further

Tryptase increases proliferative activity of human conjunctival fibroblasts through protease-activated receptor-2.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Tryptase that is released by mast cell degranulation has recently been thought to play a key role in wound healing in allergic bronchitis. Conjunctival fibroblasts secrete mediators and extracellular matrices that could exacerbate inflammation and papillary formation in allergic

Chronic ulcerative conjunctivitis in a patient with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 62-year-old woman had chronic bilateral conjunctival ulceration of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae. Conjunctival scrapings for viral, chlamydial, and bacteriologic studies were unrevealing. A conjunctival biopsy specimen was taken and submitted for histopathologic and immunofluorescent

Tear tryptase levels and allergic conjunctivitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

We measured tryptase, a neutral protease stored in the secretory granules of mast cells, by solid-phase radioimmunoassay in tears of 12 subjects with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) during remission phases, nine subjects with seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis, and eight healthy

Distinct antigenic and genetic properties of the immunoglobulin A1 protease produced by Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius associated with Brazilian purpuric fever in Brazil.

Only registered users can translate articles

All examined Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius isolates of the clone associated with Brazilian purpuric fever (the BPF clone) produced type 2 immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) proteases encoded by identical iga genes that were distinct from the iga genes of other Brazilian H. influenzae biogroup

Structure-based design and optimization of potent inhibitors of the adenoviral protease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Adenoviral infections are associated with a wide range of acute diseases, among which ocular viral conjunctivitis (EKC) and disseminated disease in immunocompromised patients. To date, no approved specific anti-adenoviral drug is available, but there is a growing need for an effective treatment of

[New medical treatment for viral conjunctivitis].

Only registered users can translate articles

Around one million people in Japan are suffering from adenoviral conjunctivitis every year and it is recognized as one of the major pathogens of nosocomial infection. Several complications, such as corneal erosion and conjunctival pseudomembrane, are observed in some of the cases and corneal sube-
