The haze formation was examined under a slit-lamp microscope at the 1st, 2nd and 3rd month after PRK, and the expressions of TGF-α , TGF-β1 and bFGF mRNA were detected with in situ hybridization.Results : The corneal haze formed at the 1" month after PRK. The most prominent haze formation was observed at the 2nd month, and declined gradually at the 3rd month after ablation. TGF-a mRNA expression was presented on the normal corneal epithelium and not on the corneal stroma. TGF-β1 and bGFG mRNA were expressed by both corneal epithelium and stroma. The capacities for cornea tissue expression of展开更多

Results of hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that inflammation contributed to the formation of a hypertrophic scar and increased the nerve density in scar tissue.Western blot assay verified that interleukin-13 expression was increased in scar tissue. These findings suggest that inflammation and the cutaneous nervous system play a role in hypertrophic scar formation.展开更多
