    Description / Table of Contents: Hintergrund: Die biomechanische Festigkeit der Hornhaut soll durch künstliche Quervernetzung der Kollagenfibrillen (Strahlenvernetzung, chemische Vernetzung) erhöht werden, um eine evtl. konservative Therapie des Keratokonus zu prüfen. Methode: Von enukleierten Schweineaugen wurde das Epithel entfernt. Je 10 Augen in 8 Testgruppen wurden mit UV-Strahlung (λ = 254 nm), einer 0,5 %igen Riboflavinlösung und UV-Strahlung (365 nm), blauem Licht (436 nm) und Sonnenlicht sowie mit chemischen Vernetzern – Glutaraldehyd (1 % und 0,1 %, 10 min) und Karnovsky- Lösung (0,1 %, 10 min) – behandelt. Als Standard dienten jeweils Kontrollgruppen mit 10 unbehandelten Hornhäuten. Aus jeder Hornhaut wurde ein zentraler Streifen von 5 mm Breite und 9 mm Länge geschnitten und die Spannungs-Dehnungs-Kurven gemessen. Ergebnisse: Bei UV-Bestrahlung von mit Riboflavin vorbehandelten Hornhäuten nimmt die Dehnbarkeit signifikant ab (p 〈 0,05). Auch die mit Glutaraldehyd oder Karnovsky-Lösung behandelten Hornhäute zeigen eine signifikante Zunahme der Festigkeit (p 〈 0,05). Schlußfolgerung: UV-Strahlen und Riboflavin sowie niedrigkonzentriertes Glutaraldehyd oder Karnovsky-Lösung führen zu einer Verfestigung der Hornhaut wahrscheinlich aufgrund von Vernetzungen der Kollagene oder der Proteoglykane. Weitere Untersuchungen sind jedoch bezüglich der Optimierung der Dosis-Wirkungs-Beziehung und der In-vivo-Bedingungen erforderlich.
    Notes: Purpose: To increase the stability of the cornea by artificial cross-linking (radiation or chemical agents) and to investigate a future therapy for keratoconus. Materials and methods: The epithelium of enucleated porcine eyes was removed. Ten eyes in each of eight test groups were treated with UV light (λ = 254 nm), 0.5 % riboflavin and UV light (365 nm), blue light (436 nm) and sunlight, and the chemical agents glutaraldehyde (1 % and 0.1 %, 10 min) and Karnovsky's solution (0.1 %, 10 min). Strips of 5 mm in width and 9 mm in length were cut from each cornea and the stress-strain behaviour of the strips was measured. For comparison, eight groups of ten untreated corneas each were measured by the same method. Results: Compared to untreated corneas riboflavin and UV irradiation as well as glutaraldehyde and Karnovsky's solution treatment resulted in significantly increased stiffness of the cornea (p 〈 0.05). Conclusions: The biomechanical behaviour of the cornea can be altered by low-concentration glutaraldehyde, Karnovsky's solution, and by riboflavin and UV irradiation, which offers potential conservative treatment of keratoconus. To optimize this effect further investigation is necessary regarding the dose-effect relation and the in-vivo conditions.

    Notes: Abstract  C-Jun and c-Fos transcription factors have been associated with enhanced cellular proliferation. We studied their cellular distribution in normal and fibrotic rat lung. Pulmonary fibrosis was induced by intratracheal administration of bleomycin. In normal rat lung, c-Jun and c-Fos are present in alveolar macrophages and type II pneumocytes, in the bronchiolar epithelium and in smooth muscle cells of bronchioli and blood vessels. Subcellular fractionation of proteins revealed a predominant presence of both c-Jun and c-Fos in the heavy membrane fraction containing mitochondria and secretory granules. This was confirmed by immunoelectron microscopy, which also revealed a different localization of c-Jun and c-Fos in different cell types. Whereas in type II pneumocytes and in macrophages cytoplasmic c-Jun and c-Fos is associated with mitochondria, in Clara cells of the bronchial epithelium only secretory granules contain c-Jun and c-Fos. In addition, c-Jun is strongly present in the nuclear fraction. In the fibrotic rat lung c-Jun and c-Fos are located in the same cell types as in control lungs. In addition, fibroblasts contain c-Jun and c-Fos in areas of proliferation whereas in areas of complete fibrosis there is only a very weak expression of c-Jun and c-Fos.

    Notes: Abstract  Taste buds in humans originate from approximately the 8th postovulatory week under the influence of ingrowing nerve fibers. Since they develop from local epithelium, it is of interest whether or not prospective taste cells maintain or develop characteristics of epithelial cells that are different from those of the adjacent epithelium during differentiation. The aim of this study was to monitor changes of the distribution of the cytokeratin filaments (CKs) 8, 18, 19 and 20 (”gastrointestinal” type), CK 7 (”ductal” type), and CK 13 (maturation ”mucosa type”), as well as vimentin in developing human taste buds and adjacent squamous epithelium. With the exception of CK13, which remains negative in taste bud anlagen and adult taste buds, all cytokeratins tested were present in taste cells. With the progress of development, the distribution of CKs becomes more and more restricted to taste cells and salivatory ducts as well as Ebner gland cells. Only CK20 is exclusively specific to taste bud anlagen and sometimes to individual bipolar cells occurring in early stages (week 8–9). Vimentin was located mainly in mesodermal derivatives but also in perigemmal epithelial cells during all stages of development. The occurrence of vimentin in ”borderline” epithelia that interface with underlying connective tissue, i.e., in a region of discontinuity, may be associated with particular events in development, cell migration or even dedifferentiation.
