Corneal buttons were obtained from four young adults with advanced keratoconus following perforating keratoplasty. The corneal buttons were incubated in organ culture media containing 3H-proline. Autoradiographs of corneal sections showed that the incorporation of the radioisotope was significantly

Two-dimensional electrophoretic maps of extracts from eleven normal and eleven keratoconus corneas were compared. Of the eleven corneas analyzed, eight were pooled and the remaining three were analyzed individually. Several differences were demonstrated between electrophoretic patterns of normal and

Keratoconus (KC) is a multifactorial, ectatic corneal disease. Metabolic changes in the corneal stroma with alterations in collagen fibril stability, oxidative stress, and urea cycle, have previously been reported as key players in KC pathobiology. Recently, corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) has

OBJECTIVE Keratoconus (KC) is a disease characterized by thinning and deformation of the cornea, but its etiology remains unknown. Seventy percent of the corneal stroma consists of collagen, which is composed of three intertwined polypeptide chains with glycine-hydroxyproline-proline repeats along

<p>To investigate the presence of the variants of lysyl oxygenase (LOX) and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) genes in Brazilian patients with advanced keratoconus.p><p>Donor genomic DNA extracted from blood samples was screened for

Keratoconus is a corneal disease of unknown cause that involves a progressive thinning and scarring of the corneal connective tissue. We examined normal human and keratoconus corneas, including one healed penetrating keratoplasty specimen. Organ cell cultures of normal and keratoconus corneal

Epikeratophakia is a refractive surgery for the correction of aphakia, high myopia and keratoconus. Although many clinical studies of epikeratophakia have been performed, its wound healing process is not well understood. In the present study, we investigated keratocyte activities, particularly cell

Epikeratophakia is a refractive surgical procedure for the correction of aphakia, high myopia, or keratoconus. To solve clinical problems associated with epikeratophakia, a basic knowledge of its postoperative healing process is needed. The authors investigated keratocyte activities, particularly
