uveitis/albumin

An acute experimental uveitis was produced by injecting bovine serum albumin (BSA) intravitreally into presensitized albino rabbits. Histopathological changes in the anterior uvea were followed during a period of 2 weeks using transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Both the ciliary body and

In order to assess the role of vitamin E, an antioxidant, in the treatment of uveitis, a controlled experimental study was carried out on 20 New Zealand albino rabbits with bovine-albumin-induced uveitis. In all vitamin-E-treated animals, clinical and histopathological study of the retina and uvea

Experimental uveitis was successfully induced in rabbits by bovine serum albumin (BSA). Tetrandrine (Tet), 50 mg/kg/d i.p., and dexamethasone (Dex), 5 mg/kg/d i.p., for 8 d showed marked inhibition of uveitis in rabbits. Eight d after drug administration, ocular inflammation was markedly inhibited.

OBJECTIVE To assess the correlation between laser flare measurements and anterior chamber IgG/albumin concentrations in eyes with mild to severe inflammation. METHODS Seventeen eyes of 17 patients with endogenous uveitis underwent diagnostic paracentesis. IgG and albumin concentrations were

A radioimmunoassay was developed for detection of immunoglobulin in the aqueous of normal horses and horses with intraocular diseases. Levels of albumin were detected by radial immunodiffusion. Results of assays on samples from normal eyes from which aqueous was obtained by paracentesis under

Purpose: To evaluate whether the C-reactive protein (CRP)/albumin ratio (CAR) in patients with uveitis during an attack is a marker that can give information about the activity, severity and prognosis of the disease.Methods: This study included 35 patients with an uveitis attack and 35

OBJECTIVE To compare intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) and steroid activity in an experimental uveitis (EU) model. METHODS EU was induced by intravitreal injection of bovine serum albumin (BSA) at baseline. Rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n = 8) according to treatment with a single

BACKGROUND Mutations in LRRK2 are related to certain forms of Parkinson's disease and, possibly, to the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease. In both these diseases inflammatory processes participate in the pathogenic process. LRRK2 is expressed in lymphoid cells and, interestingly, Lrrk2 (-/-) mice were

OBJECTIVE Equine recurrent uveitis (ERU) is an incurable disease affecting the inner eye that leads to blindness, through activated T cells that pass the blood-retinal barrier and destroy the retina. Serum markers are a desirable choice for monitoring development of disease, as serum is easy

Examined was the dependence of the pH of the aqueous, the oxygen pressure pO2, the pressure of CO2, the content of bicarbonate ions--HCO3- and the balance of energy--from the intensity of uveitis provoked experimentally in rabbits by application of 5 mg of albumin fraction of the cattle protein

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFsZ) is a potent regulator of cellular growth and immune function. The authors studied ocular histology and endotoxin-induced uveitis in a TGF-sZ(1) transgenic (Tg) murine model. TGF-sZ(1) Tg mice were generated by micro injecting a gene constructed by fusing the
