An Update on Ocular Surface Epithelial Stem Cells: Cornea and Conjunctiva

Stem Cells International, 2015
The human ocular surface (front surface of the eye) is formed by two different types of epithelia: the corneal epithelium centrally and the conjunctival epithelium that surrounds this. These two epithelia are maintained by different stem cell populations

PEG‐Free Nanoemulsions With Alkyl Polyglucoside and Baccharis dracunculifolia Essential Oil: Physicochemical Behavior, pH Dependence and Skin Repair Properties

Journal of Surfactants and Detergents, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alkyl polyglucosides (APG) are biodegradable, non‐ionic surfactants from renewable sources with low ecotoxicity. This study developed a novel PEG‐free nanoemulsion (NE) using APG to encapsulate Baccharis dracunculifolia essential oil (BDO) for skin repair.

Molecular and Phenotypic Characterization of Staphylococcus epidermidis Isolates from Healthy Conjunctiva and a Comparative Analysis with Isolates from Ocular Infection

PLoS ONE, 2015
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a common commensal of healthy conjunctiva and it can cause endophthalmitis, however its presence in conjunctivitis, keratitis and blepharitis is unknown. Molecular genotyping of S.

Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Regression of conjunctival tumor during dietary treatment of celiac disease

Indian Journal of Ophthalmology, 2010
A 3-year-old girl presented with a hemorrhagic conjunctival lesion in the right eye. The medical history revealed premature cessation of breast feeding, intolerance to the ingestion of baby foods, anorexia, and abdominal distention. Prior to her referral,

Is Ophthalmology Consult Needed for Acute Orbital Fractures?

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Failure to recognize concomitant ocular injury in orbital fracture patients is a feared consequence of evaluation in the acute setting. These injuries and their accompanying functional sequelae range in severity, and reconstructive surgeons need to be sensitive to the possibility of major ocular injuries that could potentially have serious ...

Identification of conjunctival fornix mycoflora of Equidae (horse and mule) in Urmia district [PDF]

Āsīb/shināsī-i Darmāngāhī-i Dāmpizishkī, 2013
Fungi present on normal ocular surface become pathogen in certain conditions such as corneal damage. Therefore, Knowledge of normal conjunctival mycoflora is important for prompt and proper treatment of equine keratomycosis.

Bacterial Flora Changes in Conjunctiva of Rats with Streptozotocin-Induced Type I Diabetes

PLoS ONE, 2015
Background The microbiota of both humans and animals plays an important role in their health and the development of disease. Therefore, the bacterial flora of the conjunctiva may also be associated with some diseases. However, there are no reports on the

Electrospun Poly (Glycerol Sebacate) (PGS) Membranes for Corneal Tissue Engineering

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Fibrous PGS membranes that are composed of homogenous fibers are fabricated by electrospinning. Durability and permeability of the membranes closely resemble the natural cornea. Thereby, successfully supporting the proliferation of human corneal epithelial cells (HCEC) and human corneal endothelial cells (HCEndC).

Conjunctiva reconstruction by induced differentiation of human amniotic epithelial cells.

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015
In this study, we aimed to investigate the feasibility of directed differentiation of human amniotic epithelial cells into conjunctival epithelium under specific conditions as well as of constructing tissue-engineered conjunctiva for ocular surface ...
