Thirteen patients with galactosialidosis (beta-galactosidase-neuraminidase deficiency) from 9 families including two autopsy cases were studied from clinical, genetic, cytological and biochemical standpoints. Coarse facies, myoclonus, cerebellar ataxia, angiokeratoma, loss of vision, corneal opacity
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of dry eye on ocular surface protease activity and sight threatening corneal complications following ocular surface chemical injury.
METHODS
C57BL/6 mice were subjected to unilateral alkali burn (AB) with or without concomitant dry eye for 2 or 5 days. Mice were
The ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of disorders with both inherited and acquired forms. Clinical presentation, pattern of inheritance, and laboratory evaluation may establish a precise diagnosis, which can assist in prognosis and genetic counseling. Congenital autosomal recessive ichthyosis
Corneal transparency is attributed to the regular spacing and diameter of collagen fibrils, and proteoglycans may play a role in fibrillogenesis and matrix assembly. Corneal scar tissue is opaque and this opacity is explained by decreased ultrastructural order that may be related to proteoglycan
BACKGROUND
To study the effect of topical administration of a fusion protein (PF-MC) made up of N-terminal portion of the protease inhibitor Trappin-2 (which is a substrate of transglutaminasa-2) and SLPI (protein with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral ability), in an animal model of
Lattice corneal dystrophy is associated with painful recurrent corneal erosions and amyloid corneal opacities induced by transforming growth factor β-induced protein (TGFBIp) that impairs vision. The exact mechanism of amyloid fibril formation in corneal dystrophy is unknown but has been associated
Alkali burns to the cornea are among the most devastating injuries to the eye. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of dexamethasone (Dex) or doxycycline (Doxy) on protease activity and corneal complications in a combined model (CM) of alkali burn and dry eye. C57BL/6 mice were
