Protection of tight junction between RPE cells with tissue factor targeting peptide
"AIM: To investigate the effect of tissue factor targeting peptide (TF-TP) on retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells tight junctions. METHODS: Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to measure the proliferation of ARPE-19...
Lateral rectus muscle recession and the vertical palpebral fissure height: to do or not to do inter-muscular septum dissection?
In this study, we aimed to evaluate changes of vertical palpebral fissure height (VPFH) after unilateral lateral rectus muscle recession. Twenty-five and twenty-six patients who were candidates for lateral rectus muscle...
Alcohol delamination of the corneal epithelium for recurrent corneal erosion syndrome
"AIM: To evaluate the outcomes of alcohol delamination (ALD) of the corneal epithelium for the treatment of recurrent corneal erosion syndrome (RCES) and to implement a standardized treatment protocol for this condition...
Intraocular retinal thickness asymmetry in early stage of primary open angle glaucoma and normal tension glaucoma
"AIM: To investigate the intraocular retinal thickness asymmetry of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and macular layers measured by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in patients with ea...
