In vitro and in vivo evaluation of Carboplatin delivery to the eye using hydrogel-iontophoresis.
Purpose: To investigate in vitro and in vivo hydrogel-iontophoresis delivery of carboplatin to the eye. Methods: Iontophoresis was applied on agar gels resembling the eye using different current intensities and durations. Transscleral iontophoresis was performed on healthy rabbits, applying […]
Comparison of the pupillometry during videonystagmography in asymmetric pseudoexfoliation patients.
Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the dynamic function of iris muscle in asymmetric pseudoexfoliation patients by videonystagmography. Methods: 15 patients with asymmetric pseudoexfoliation and 15 control subjects were included. The function of iris muscle was assessed by the pupillometry test of the videonystagmography […]
Analysis of autoantibodies against human retinal antigens in sera of patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to show that complex antibody patterns against retinal antigens in sera of patients with glaucoma, found in previous studies, are autoantibodies against human antigens. Methods: Sera of 179 patients were […]
The Efficacy of TonoLab in Detecting Physiological and Pharmacological Changes of Mouse Intraocular Pressure - Comparison with TonoPen and Microneedle Manometery.
Purpose: The efficacy of two non-invasive tonometers, TonoLab and TonoPen XL, in detecting physiological or pharmacological changes of intraocular pressure (IOP) in mouse eyes, was assessed by comparison with a microneedle method. […]
Co-Treatment of Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid and Mitomycin-C Induces the Apoptosis of Rabbit Tenon\’s Capsule Fibroblast and Improves the Outcome of Glaucoma Filtration Surgery.
Purpose: This study was undertaken to develop a new treatment modality that would be able to minimize fibrosis and provide better outcome with glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS). Methods: We examined […]
Evaluation of Severity of HSV-1 Corneal Infection by Statistical Pattern Classification Technique.
Purpose: Slit lamp photography is a daily practice in ophthalmic examinations in clinic settings. Images of the ocular integrity enable the clinicians to evaluate the progress of disease. However, the lack of a consistent objective measuring scheme to evaluate the corneal […]
Modified BIGH3 with an RGDRGD Motif Promotes Human Corneal Epithelial Cell Adhesion and Migration In Vitro.
Purpose: BIGH3 protein plays an important role in mediating human corneal epithelial (HCE) cell adhesion and migration. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of native and modified BIGH3 protein containing an Arg-Gly-Asp-Arg-Gly-Asp (RGDRGD) […]
Experimental assessment of human corneal hysteresis.
Purpose: Hysteresis is a viscoelastic property characterized by the difference in behavior under loading and unloading. The aim of the study was to determine corneal hysteresis using experimental means. Methods: Twenty-nine human corneas with 50-95 year age were subjected to cycles of pressure loading and unloading. Two […]
Can Variation in HIV/STD-Related Risk be Explained by Individual SES? Findings from Female Sex Workers in a Rural Chinese County.
Low socioeconomic status (SES) has been linked to HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) at a macro level because the majority of new cases of HIV infection in the world have been reported […]
