摘要:

Two containers (“Iowa” and “Virginia”) commonly used for transporting donor corneas, and various packing methods were evaluated for constancy of temperature maintenance. The larger Iowa container was found to be superior for extended storage. Packing methods that allowed the vials (containing McCarey-Kaufman medium) to be in direct contact with wet ice or with ice water resulted in the best cooling. Direct contact with supercooled ice may cause freezing of the medium. Separating the vials from the ice water slush by dry foam rubber or Styrofoam® did not allow adequate cooling. Heat sealing the vials in a plastic bag containing minimal air permitted proper cooling and may reduce the risk of contamination from the ice water.

摘要:

We describe the histopathologic and ultrastructural features of corneal buttons from the original and repeat corneal grafts of two patients with the Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MPS VI-B). The donor cornea, in place for 10 years in one patient, had recurrence of mucopolysaccharide in the corneal epithelium, fibrocytes in the pannus, corneal stroma, retrocorneal fibrous tissue layer, and endothelium. The donor cornea, in place for 1 year in the second patient, had recurrence of mucopolysaccharide in the epithelium, minor deposits in the superficial stroma, and larger deposits in the stroma near the keratoplasty scar.
