The distribution and concentration of human tryptase-positive, chymase-negative mast cells (MCTS) and tryptase-positive, chymase-positive mast cells (MCTCS) were examined in conjunctival biopsy specimens from subjects with active vernal conjunctivitis (VC; n = 7), giant papillary conjunctivitis
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the efficacy of topical dexamethasone and topical FK506 treatment on allergic inflammation in conjunctiva, we performed a comparative study using a mouse experimental allergic conjunctivitis model.
METHODS
The experimental allergic conjunctivitis model was developed by
The biological properties of 101 strains of coagulase-negative staphylococci isolated from conjunctival secretions of conjunctivitis patients, as well as from healthy persons were studied. More than a half of these strains (66%) were identified as Staph. epidermidis. 18% of the strains differed from
Avian haemolytic Actinobacillus-like organisms have tentatively been named Bisgaard taxon 26. Phenotypic information has been published on 65 strains of this taxon. In the current study, 31 isolates were selected for genotypic characterization. Thirty strains had the same rpoB sequence and only one
Amphizoic small amoebic protozoa are capable of existing both in 'free-living' and in 'parasitic' form depending on the actual conditions. Two genera (Naegleria and Acanthamoeba) have become recognised as opportunist human parasites. Since the first description in 1965 of a lethal case of primary
Fifty-seven patients with refractory acute leukemia were treated with high-dose cytosine arabinoside to establish the maximum tolerated dose and duration and to determine the antileukemic activity. The maximum tolerated regimen was found to be 3 g/sq m every 12 hr for 6 days. At this dose,
A total of 1488 examinations of the conjunctival content of patients with various ophthalmic diseases were performed within 5 years (1973--1977). 989 (66.4 per cent) cultures were isolated. Staphylococci were isolated in 79.2 per cent of the patients irrespective of the diagnosis. The
Male Wistar rats were infected with the chlamydial agent of guinea pig inclusion conjunctivitis by inoculation of chlamydiae into the vas deferens. Epididymitis was observed in all infected animals clinically and histologically. Chlamydiae were detected in the epithelium of epididymal tubules by
Retinoids have been shown to be potent inhibitors of epithelial carcinogenesis. Recent evidence has demonstrated that retinoid actions are mediated through nuclear receptors, which are proteins encoded by the retinoic acid receptor and retinoid X receptor gene families. These receptors are activated
In the present work the effect of intramuscular administration of 30.000, 50.000 and 100.000 IU of vitamin A palmitate daily for seven days, respectively, on the liver enzyme activity in 45 white male Wistar rats, aged 12 weeks and weighing 180-200 g, have been studied. The group control was
Eleven native sheep, 1-2 years old, of both sexes were randomly divided into two groups, 6 sheep being allocated to the experimental group and 5 serving as controls. The sheep in the experimental group were fed 80% Tribulus terrestris and 20% alfalfa hay and wheat straw, while the control sheep were
OBJECTIVE
To develop a method for inducing acute leptospirosis in dogs.
METHODS
31 nine-week-old female Beagles.
METHODS
Beagles were randomly assigned to 2 inoculation groups or a control group. Dogs were inoculated on 3 successive days by conjunctival instillation of 5 x 10(7) cells of Leptospira
Paclitaxel and nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel are known to cause adverse events of eye disorders, such as cystoid macular edema. However, at present, the risk factors remain unclear. Therefore, risk factors for eye disorders caused by paclitaxel and nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel were
A 12 y old girl was admitted 24 days after start a WHO multidrug therapy scheme for multibacillary leprosy (dapsone, clofazimine and rifampicin) with intense jaundice, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatoesplenomegaly, oral erosions, conjunctivitis, morbiliform rash and edema of face, ankles and
In a retrospective study clinical and hepatotoxic side effects caused by Tigason treatment are investigated. The material consists of data on 27 patients with normal liver function tests at the beginning of treatment. The clinical side effects encountered were: dryness of lips and mucous membranes
