简介:目的:探索相对稳定性强、一致性好的大鼠角膜碱烧伤动物模型。方法:将87只SD大鼠分为角膜缘碱烧伤20s组(A组。34只),角膜缘碱烧伤40s组(B组,23只),角膜中央碱烧伤40s组(C组,30只),用浸润1mol/L氢氧化钠的滤纸片,分别烧灼大鼠角膜缘和角膜中央,术后7d裂隙灯显微镜观察角膜透明度、角膜溃疡及角膜新生血管情况,并记录上述指标。结果:角膜缘碱烧伤(B组)较角膜中央烧伤(c组)溃疡发生率、角膜穿孔率和角膜上皮荧光素钠染色阳性率高,且有统计学差异(P〈0.05);角膜缘烧灼时间长组(B组)溃疡发生率及角膜穿孔率高于角膜缘烧灼时间短组(A组),且有统计学差异(P〈0.05);烧灼角膜缘和角膜中央(A,B,c组)均能诱导出角膜新生血管。结论:对于研究角膜新生血管的动物模型,以选择3mm圆形滤纸片角膜中央烧伤为佳;对于研究角膜缘干细胞缺乏所致角膜病变的实验,以选择环形滤纸片放置于角膜缘20s为佳。
简介:目的:探讨胎牛血清对小鼠角膜上皮细胞生长和分化的影响。方法:分别在无血清低钙培养基(KSFM)和含100mL/L胎牛血清的KSFM中培养小鼠角膜上皮细胞。比较两种培养基中角膜上皮细胞的群体倍增(PD)。通过RT-PCR和Westernblotting方法检测p63、角蛋白19以及involucrin的表达。结果:在KSFM中,小鼠角膜上皮细胞可稳定传代超过25代,但在含胎牛血清的培养基中,细胞仅能存活3代。在KSFM中,培养细胞呈典型铺路石样外观,RT-PCR和Westernblotting结果显示细胞表达p63、角蛋白19以及involucrin。当培养基中加入胎牛血清后,细胞形态明显增大,呈扁平状;involucrin表达显著增强。结论:胎牛血清可抑制小鼠角膜上皮细胞增生、诱导其分化。

简介:目的:评价聚乙二醇滴眼液联合重组牛碱性成纤维细胞生长因子滴眼液治疗干眼症的疗效。方法:干眼症患者51例102眼,双眼自身对照,随机分为治疗组和对照组。治疗组给予聚乙二醇滴眼液和重组牛碱性成纤维细胞生长因子滴眼液,均4次/d,两种滴眼液之间间隔5~10min。对照组给予聚乙二醇滴眼液滴眼,4次/d,连续用药1mo后复查。观察每组用药前后SchirmerI试验,BUT,角膜荧光素染色和症状改善情况。结果:两组治疗前后BUT,角膜荧光素染色和症状都有显著差异(P〈0.05)。两组治疗前后SchirmerI试验结果无显著差异(P〉0.05)。治疗后两组BUT,角膜荧光素染色和症状也有显著差异(P〈0.05)。结论:聚乙二醇滴眼液联合重组牛碱性成纤维细胞生长因子滴眼液对治疗干眼症有明显的疗效。
简介:目的观察壳聚糖对兔青光眼滤过手术模型中VEGF表达的影响,探讨壳聚糖在青光眼滤过手术中抗瘢痕形成的应用价值。方法将健康成年大白兔随机分为实验组(A组),以2.5%壳聚糖液注射手术部位,手术对照组(B组)和正常对照组(C组),术后1w、2w、4w、12w免疫组织化学染色,比较三组VEGF(Vascularendothelialgrowthfactor,VEGF)阳性表达率,观察眼压情况。结果术后免疫组织化学染色结果显示B组VEGF阳性表达率较高,A、C组较低。三组眼压有显著性差异(P〈0.01)。结论壳聚糖在兔青光眼滤过手术模型中的应用可以下调VEGF的表达,更持久地降低眼压。
简介:目的:探讨HSP60(热休克蛋白60)在大鼠急性青光眼模型视网膜组织中的表达及其与血清中相应抗体的关系。方法:将SD大鼠70只随机分为高眼压组60只,正常对照组10只。大鼠全身及表面麻醉后,将一盛有等渗的生理盐水的储容器相连的7号针头于3:00位的角膜缘处刺入前房,提升储容器的高度,使眼内压达到110mmHg,但不超过150mmHg,观察大鼠眼前段变白,且视网膜色白,未见红色反光时即为视网膜缺血,缺血1h后再灌注,并于再灌注后2,6,12,24,72,168h将大鼠麻醉过量致死,处死前测眼压,抽血2mL,供酶联免疫吸附测定使用,分析视网膜组织内HSP60抗原产生的血清中相应抗体水平。并立即取出眼球,同时对鼠眼视网膜组织进行石蜡切片,采用免疫组化法检测视网膜组织中HSP60的表达及分布情况,并对检测结果进行统计学分析。结果:急性高眼压诱导的视网膜缺血/再灌注组眼压明显升高,视网膜组织中的HSP60阳性表达率在术后各时间点,高眼压组与正常对照组比较,差异有统计学意义(F=97.21,40.72,83.85,95.82,48.63及44.37,均P〈0.01)。神经节细胞(retinalganglioncell,RGC)中HSP60阳性表达随着眼压升高及高眼压持续时间延长逐渐增强,且视网膜神经纤维层中也出现较明显的HSP60阳性表达。结论:HSP60表达增强可能在急性高眼压所致的视神经病变中具有重要作用。
