각막이식후 혼탁된 각막에 있어서의 "양이온" 이동에 관한 연구

Abstract

1) The water. sodium. and potassium contents in 61 cases of normal rabbits' corneas and in 6 cases of opacified rabbits' corneas after corneal transplantation were determined. and the differences between the two groups were observed. 2) In opacified corneas there were significant increase in water and potassium contents. but significant decrease in sodium content. 3) The histological examination of the opacified I/O 8 cornea shows that there are massive cellular prolifer· ation, instead of normal regular lamellar stroma. especially the junction between the recipient and donor corneas. 4) It is concluded that the increase in potassium content and decrease in sodium content in tho opacified rabbits' corneas were resulted from increased cellular elements in the corneal stroma. And tho increase in total water content could be attributed to newly proliferated connective tissue.
