[Study on the tissue compatibility of intracorneal horn lenses in experimental animals (author's transl)]. 1978

B Schimmelpfennig

Horn lenses, manufactured from human toenail donor material were implanted intracorneally in 15 rabbits. The thickness of the lenses ranged 0.08 to 0.2 mm, the diameter from 4.5 to 7 mm. 13 lenses were fenestrated, two were not. Within 6 months, growth of corneal tissue into fenestrations of the lenses occurred but no signs of aseptic necrosis were seen histologically. The boundary layer between stroma and horn lens revealed apposition as well as ingrowth of tissue in electron-microscopic studies. Unguinal tissue may be useful in keratoprosthesis on the basis of its permeability to glucose, lack of foreign body-activity and hydrophilia.

D007909	Lenses	Pieces of glass or other transparent materials used for magnification or increased visual acuity.
D009262	Nails	The thin, horny plates that cover the dorsal surfaces of the distal phalanges of the fingers and toes of primates.	Fingernails,Toenails,Fingernail,Nail,Toenail
D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

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.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

Prostheses can be functional, as in the case of artificial arms and legs, or cosmetic, as in the case of an artificial eye. Implants, all surgically inserted or grafted into the body, tend to be used therapeutically. IMPLANTS, EXPERIMENTAL is available for those used experimentally.
