Journal ArticleDOI
Cultivated corneal epithelial stem cell transplantation in ocular surface disorders.
TL;DR: C cultivated corneal epithelial transplantation using denuded AM as a carrier can be used for severe stem cell deficiencies and 10 of the 13 eyes were restored to good vision (postoperative visual acuity improved two or more lines) 6 months after the operation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Androgen Deficiency, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction, and Evaporative Dry Eye

TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that androgen deficiency may be an important etiologic factor in the pathogenesis of evaporative dry eye in women with Sjögren's syndrome and demonstrate that the meibomian gland is an androgen target organ.
Journal Article
Cultivated corneal epithelial transplantation for ocular surface reconstruction in acute phase of Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
TL;DR: Corneal stem cell transplantation and amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation, combined with dry eye treatment and strong immunosuppressive therapy, have been attempted at the scarring stage, the management is difficult, and the visual prognosis is not satisfactory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expression of sex steroid hormone receptors in human cornea.
Tomo Suzuki,Yoshiyuki Kinoshita,Masayoshi Tachibana,Yoshibumi Matsushima,Yasuhito Kobayashi,Wakako Adachi,Chie Sotozono,Shigeru Kinoshita +7 more
TL;DR: Since receptors for both male and female sex hormones are present in human corneas of both genders, it is postulate that the receptors may influence the biological functions of corneal cells through direct interaction with specific hormones.
Journal Article
Do sex steroids exert sex-specific and/or opposite effects on gene expression in lacrimal and meibomian glands?
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that sex steroids may induce sex-specific and/or opposite effects in the lacrimal and meibomian glands and whether these actions contribute to the prevalence of dry eye remains to be determined.
