keratoconus/알부민

Keratoconus is a degenerating disease of the eye which causes an irregularly shaped cornea leading to severe impairment of vision. Tear proteomics in keratoconus has been a topic of substantial discussion and speculation over many years. This study was designed to examine the levels of total

OBJECTIVE To elucidate the metabolic processes playing roles in the formation of keratoconus (KC). METHODS Tears samples were collected using capillary glass tubes without stimulation and without prior anesthesia from 17 patients and 16 controls. Proteomic analysis by fluorescent 2D gel

OBJECTIVE To analyze tear protein profile variations in patients with keratoconus (KC) and to compare them with those of control subjects. METHODS Tears from 12 normal subjects and 12 patients with KC were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and liquid chromatography-mass

The purpose of the study was to identify epithelial and stromal proteins that exhibit up- or down-regulation in keratoconus (KC) vs. normal human corneas. Because previous proteomic studies utilized whole human corneas or epithelium alone, thereby diluted the specificity of the proteome of each

Purpose: To evaluate inflammation-sensitive parameters, namely the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), eosinophil count, erythrocyte distribution width (RDW), and CRP/albumin ratio in patients with keratoconus (KC).Methods: Thirty-five patients with KC
