Abstract:
Objective To explore the new preservation method of cornea by evaluating the structure and function of rabbit's endothelia on the condition of whole-eye preservation with aqueous removed and recipient's serum tamponaded. Methods Forty New Zealand big white rabbits (80 eyes) were random divided into two groups, 40 eyes in group A (control group) and 40 eyes in group B (experimental group). The vitality of endothelial cell on the condition of tow corneal preservation methods which were the moist chamber preservation (group A) and the whole-eye preservation with aqueous removed and recipient's serum tamponaded (group B) was compared. At the 2nd day, the 5th day, the 7th day, the 10th day, the vitality of endothelial cell was appraised through ultra-microstructure by scanning electron microscope and the trpan biuealizarin red stain. The corneal thickness was measured, and corneal endothelial cells density was calculated, and cell size was observed by image analysis system. Result In group B, the corneas remained transparent for 7 days , and the rate of vitality was 90% for7 days and that was over 80% for 10 days. In group A, the corneas remained transparent for 2 days, and the endothelial cell losing and dying were found after 5 days. Cell vitality, cell density and cell size had no statistical difference between Group B for 7 days and group A for 2 days. (all P＞0. 05). In group A, at the 5th day, the 7th day ,the 10th day, the average corneal thickness were (0.64 ± 0.04) mm, (0. 79 ± 0. 03) mm , (1.06 ± 0. 03) mm. In the group B, at the 5th day, the 7th day ,the l0th day, the average corneal thickness were (0. 55 ±0.03)mm, (0.65 ±0. 02) mm , (0. 85 ± 0. 05) mm. The average corneal thickness had significant difference between group A and group B (all P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Recipient serum had the function with supporting the structure and function of rabbit's corneal endothelial cell, and it could prolong the storage time with the moist chamberstorage at the same time.
