To determine the expression of differentiation and progenitor cell markers in corneal tissues that previously underwent autologous cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (COMET).Four eyes from three alkaline-injured patients one thermally injured patient COMET to promote re-epithelialization or reconstruction. Between 10 22 months (mean, 14.2 +/- 5.5 [SD]) after COMET, were obtained penetrating keratoplasty (n = 1) limbal 3). Immunoconfocal microscopy for keratin (K)3, -12, -4,...
Purpose.: We analyzed the expression of angiogenesis-related factors in corneal tissues that had undergone previously autologous cultivated oral mucosal epithelial transplantation (COMET). Methods.: Six eyes from four chemically- and two thermally-injured patients with limbal stem cell deficiency who received COMET to promote wound healing were studied retrospectively. Immunoconfocal microscopy was performed on specimens after COMET, as well normal corneas, conjunctiva, mucosa for keratin 8,...
In Brief This study was performed to identify factors that can affect the final outcome and recognize proper management for patients with traumatic optic neuropathy (TON). retrospective included 42 consecutive TON after maxillofacial trauma. Megadose methylprednisolone administered all during first 3 days diagnosis. Twenty-four received treatment megadose steroids combined nerve decompression remaining 18 alone. Initial visual acuity (IVA) statistically significant factor affecting of (P =...
Purpose: To report a case of Paecilomyces lilacinus scleritis with secondary keratitis after initially diagnosed immune-based scleritis. Methods: An 82-year-old man was and treated oral cyclophosphamide 50 mg twice daily. However, multiple scleral abscesses fibrinoid aqueous reaction developed 3 months later. Infectious suspected. The culture from the necrotic sclera grew P. lilacinus. Despite treatment antimicrobials, infection progressed to cornea. medication included topical natamycin...
Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a severe sequel after maxillofacial trauma. Recent clinical experience has suggested that canal decompression beneficial in the treatment of TON. With advent endoscopy orbital reconstruction, we extended this technique to decompress optical and reported its outcome. This was applied 30 patients with TON who did not improve corticosteroids treatment. The average age at time injury 26 years. Nine presented preoperative vision light perception (LP) or better...
Clinical predictors of long-term outcomes in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) treated endovascular therapy (EVT) remain unclear. In this study, clinical EVT-treated CLI were investigated. prospective, observational we analyzed a total 253 Taiwanese 314 limbs who underwent EVT between 2005 and 2012. Cox models used to estimate hazard ratios death, loss, sustained success (SCS). Multivariate analysis showed that age, atrial fibrillation (AF), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), albumin...
Abstract Previously, we reported a collagenase-based, animal product-free protocol for cultivated oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets transplantation (COMET). Here, the long-term outcomes of first 2 clinical cases. A 27-year-old man suffered from thermal burn, which resulted in symblepharon lower fornix OD. COMET was performed, and cornea remained clear with few peripheral NV no more 34 months postoperatively. Another 42-year-old severe alkaline burn He underwent COMET, followed by corneal...
In Brief Purpose: To determine whether a statistically significant difference exists between direct canalicular wall sutures (DCs) and pericanalicular (PCs) in the repair of traumatic lacerations. Methods: The medical records 63 patients who underwent primary repairs for lacerations were retrospectively reviewed. Patients divided 2 groups according to suturing techniques used: DC group (n = 41) PC 22). Anatomic results compared these groups. A successful result was determined by attempted...
C ongenital blepharoptosis is an embryological ab- normality in the levator complex development that causes a lack of differentiation muscle and malposition eyelid.It now well known stimulus deprivation amblyopia can occur congenital blepharoptosis, especially unilateral, [1][2][3][4] previous Original ArticleBackground: It challenging to manage because symmetry difficult achieve under general anesthesia age at which ptosis should be corrected still controversial.The aim our study analyze...
The study aims to report the surgical outcome of a retractor redirection procedure for involutional entropion repair Asians. included all cases diagnosed with and significant ocular irritation who presented from 2008 2012. Sixty-seven eyelids in 54 patients were this study. All operated on by one surgeon had minimum 12-months follow-up. Success was defined as showing no recurrence forceful eyelid squeezing postoperatively. A retrospective chart review performed assess success rate,...
The study is to describe a new surgical technique for correcting large orbital implant exposure with extraocular muscle flaps and propose treatment algorithm exposure.In retrospective study, seven patients were treated flaps. All data collected from in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Taiwan during 2007-2012. surgeries performed by one surgeon (Y.J.T). Patient demographics, the original etiology, details of procedures, types, follow-up interval recorded. Small exposure, defined as area smaller...
To elucidate the manifestations of ocular injuries in colored corn starch dust explosion at a Taiwan water park. This is retrospective, non-comparative, consecutive-interventional case series. Fifty explosion-injury patients on 27 June 2015 treated Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, were included. Thorough ophthalmic examinations based emergent triage and consecutive ophthalmological consultations. Multiple systemic parameters assessed. Of 100 eyes 50 cases reviewed, 22 male 28 female....
To better understand population-specific tumor characteristics and behavior of conjunctival melanoma in Asian. A retrospective cohort enrolled patients with primary treated followed up at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital (CGMH) Taiwan between 1995 2015. Basic such as age, gender, size, cell type, location, TNM stage were recorded. Prognostic parameters included disease free interval, local recurrence, distant metastasis, survival analyzed. There 20 the study hospital All histological proved by...
