Protective Role of Glutathione and Nitric Oxide Production in the Pathogenesis of Pterygium.

Objective: In the pathogenesis of pterygium, the protective role of glutathione and nitric oxide production is unclear. These are important factors for homeostasis in the redox state of cells. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of these and related parameters in pterygium tissue.

Effect of platelet-rich plasma on patients after blepharoplasty surgery.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on patients after blepharoplasty surgery.

Materials And Methods: After undergoing blepharoplasty, 20 patients were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10 each). One was treated with autologous PRP and the other was not given any post-surgery treatment (basal group).

Oxidant/antioxidant state in tissue of prymary and recurrent pterygium.

Background: Pterygium is a disorder of the ocular surface induced by chronic exposure to UV-light. Abundant data is available from patients with primary pterygium, but scarce from those with recurrent pterygium. The present study aimed to explore the oxidant/antioxidant status in tissue of primary and recurrent pterigium in men and women.
