The effect of 5-iodo-2'deoxyuridine (IDU) and dexamethasone on corneal wound healing in the rabbit. 1978

G Puelhorn, and G Sosath, and H J Thiel

Using lamellar keratectomy as a model, the effect of 5-iodo-2' deoxyuridine (IDU) and dexamethasone on epithelial regeneration and stromal wound healing in rabbits was studied. Under IDU medication, there was a dose-dependent delay in both epithelial and stromal regeneration of the cornea. This negative effect of IDU was considerably intensified by additional doses of dexamethasone. When IDU was used alone, regeneration in the wound was delayed by five days in comparison to the control eyes. When dexamethasone was added, the delay was prolonged to about 10 days. The results are discussed and compared with the available literature.

D003315 Cornea The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses.
