Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleReview of the Progress in Corneal Neovascularization Animal ModelsShuci Tian, Shurong Wang, Yuxi He et al.Corneal Neovascularization (CNV), the extensive growth of blood vessels from conjunctiva into the cornea. It is a sight-threatening condition that can decreases eyesight and even leads to blindness. The pathologic growth of blood vessels impairs light transmission, promotes scar formation and causes inflammations, which harm visual acuity. Abnormal angiogenesis plays an important role in the process of CNV, which may … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2015 · 8,421 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessEvery word in the titleOverview of Influence Factors on Corneal Thickness MeasurementPengtuo Xiao, Shurong Wang, Xin Liu et al.Corneal thickness is an important parameter of the structure of an eyeball. Prior to cornea refractive surgery, the measurement of corneal thickness has been given general importance. With the development of measuring instruments, the measurement of corneal thickness is safer, more accurate and more comfortable. In this study, common clinical measuring methods and their influencing factors are discussed. …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 8 Jun 2015 · 7,020 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTopical Cyclosporine A in Corneal Graft RejectionMahmood Nejabat, Jafar Khoshghadam, Masoomeh Eghtedari, Hamid HosseiniCorneal graft rejection is now the most common cause of graft failure after penetrating keratoplasty. This study was designed to determine whether, addition of 2% topical cyclosporine (CSA) to local and systemic steroids in treatment of endothelial corneal allograft rejection, would improve the outcome. A prospective randomized treatment trial was carried out on 40 consecutive corneal graft recipients, presenting with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,317 accessesView PDFCite
