Evaluation of eotaxin-1, -2, and -3 protein production and messenger RNA expression in patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitisJapanese Journal of Ophthalmology - Tập 53 - Trang 92-99 - 2009
Jun Shoji, Noriko Inada, Mitsuru Sawa
To evaluate the in vivo expression of members of the eotaxin subfamily, eotaxin-1, -2, and -3, at the ocular surface, we analyzed the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of the eotaxin subfamily in conjunctival epithelium and the protein expression of the eotaxin subfamily in tears of patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and in those of healthy individuals. The subjects were 25 patients wit...... hiện toàn bộ
Hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens optic opacification in a diabetic patientJapanese Journal of Ophthalmology - Tập 55 - Trang 595-599 - 2011
Dae Il Park, Sung Woo Ha, Seong Bae Park, Helen Lew
To report clinicopathologic and ultrastructural feature of one opacified hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) explanted from a diabetic patient. A 48-year-old man underwent trans pars plana vitrectomy and phacoemulsification with implantation of a hydrophilic acrylic lens OS in November 2008. The patient complained of a marked decrease in visual acuity in May 2009 as a result of a milky opal...... hiện toàn bộ

To evaluate a keratoprosthesis, implanted by penetrating keratoplasty, in rabbits. We implanted our keratoprosthesis (optics and flange portions of polymethylmethacrylate and a polyurethane skirt with micropores) into 14 eyes of 14 rabbits. In four eyes, we evaluated histologically the junction between the keratoprosthesis and host cornea. Long-term keratoprosthesis survival was evaluated in ten e...... hiện toàn bộ
Effects of antiglaucoma drugs on blood flow of optic nerve heads and related structuresJapanese Journal of Ophthalmology - Tập 57 - Trang 133-149 - 2013
Chihiro Mayama, Makoto Araie
An association between glaucoma development or progression and compromised ocular blood flow has been postulated as a result of population-based studies and prospective cohort studies. Blood flow in the optic nerve head (ONH) is of primary importance in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. The potential to modify the blood flow in the ONH and its related structures has been reported in various agents, in...... hiện toàn bộ
Prognostic factors in trabeculectomy with mitomycin C having history of previous glaucoma surgeryJapanese Journal of Ophthalmology - Tập 57 - Trang 514-519 - 2013

To evaluate the prognostic factors for surgical outcomes of subsequent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) after prior incisional glaucoma surgery. We reviewed medical records of a total cohort of 781 trabeculectomies with MMC, and selected 125 patients (125 eyes). The primary endpoints included persistent intraocular pressure (IOP) of ≥21 or <5 mmHg, the need for additional glaucoma surgery and...... hiện toàn bộ
