Objectives: To report two cases of isolated corneal intraepithelial neoplasia.
Material And Method: The present study included 2 cases presenting with isolated corneal intraepithelial neoplasia. Both patients were treated by corneal epithelial scraping.
Results: The authors present the clinical picture and histopathological findings of 2 patients suffering from corneal intraepithelial neoplasia that did not arise from the corneoscleral limbus. Both patients showed no recurrence after treatment for a period of time.
Conclusion: Isolated corneal intraepithelial neoplasia is rare. Corneal scraping may be an effective treatment.

Chemoimmunotherapy-Resistant Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia Managed With I-125 Brachytherapy.

Department of Ophthalmology, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report the management of chemoimmunotherapy-resistant ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) with iodine-125 (I-125) brachytherapy.
Methods: A 36-year-old man presented to the clinic with biopsy-proven OSSN that covered ∼70% of the corneal surface and extended to the 6 o'clock position of the inferior limbus of the OS. The visual acuity was 20/20 in the OD and 20/40 in the affected OS.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of topical 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 1% as first-line therapy for giant ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN).
Materials And Methods: This was a non-comparative cohort study. We included patients with biopsy-proven giant OSSN in a tertiary-care setting.

Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington, District of Columbia, United States.
Purpose: The intraepithelial corneal nerves (ICNs) innervating the cornea are essential to corneal epithelial cell homeostasis. Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitors (RIs) have been reported to play roles in neuron survival after injury and in mitochondrial transfer between corneal epithelial cells. In this study, the mechanisms human corneal limbal epithelial (HCLE) cells use to control intercellular mitochondrial transfer are assessed.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the role of γδ T cells in regulating natural killer (NK) cells during herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection in the cornea.
- Experimental methods included infecting different mouse models, performing treatments, and conducting flow cytometry and RNA sequencing to analyze immune responses.
- Results showed that mice without γδ T cells had fewer NK cells and lower antiviral cytokines, while γδ T17 cells were crucial for NK cell accumulation, also influencing IL-17A production through an interplay with IFN-γ.
ROCK Inhibitor Enhances Neurite Outgrowth In Vitro and Corneal Sensory Nerve Reinnervation In Vivo.

Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology, GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington DC, United States.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of rho kinase (ROCK) inhibitors in promoting the health of corneal nerves and their potential effect on nerve regeneration after injury.
- Researchers analyzed integrin and extracellular matrix expression in mouse neurons and explored how RI treatment influences neurite growth both in lab cultures and in live mice following injuries.
- Results showed that specific integrins were present on neuron growth structures, and RI treatment enhanced nerve growth in vitro and improved sensory nerve recovery in vivo after injury.
