To assess the quantitative and qualitative parameters of pre-cut posterior corneal lamellae for Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty with a stromal rim (DMEK-S) prepared manually in the Ocular Tissue Bank Prague. All 65 successfully prepared pre-cut posterior corneal lamellae provided for grafting during a 2-year period were analyzed retrospectively. The lamellae, consisting of a central zone of endothelium-Descemet membrane surrounded by a supporting peripheral stromal rim, were prepared manually from corneoscleral buttons having an endothelial cell density higher than 2,500 cells/mm(2). The live endothelial cell density, the percentage of dead cells, the hexagonality and the coefficient of variation were assessed before and immediately after preparation as well as after 2 days of organ culture storage at 31 °C. Altogether, the endothelium of 57 lamellae was assessed. Immediately after preparation, the mean live endothelial cell density was 2,835 cells/mm(2) and, on average, 1.8 % of dead cells were found. After 2 days of storage, the cell density decreased significantly to 2,757 cells/mm(2) and the percentage of dead cells to 1.0 %. There was a significant change in the mean hexagonality and the coefficient of variation after lamellar preparation and subsequent storage. The amount of tissue wasted during the preparation was 23 %. The endothelial cell density of posterior corneal lamellae sent for DMEK-S was higher than 2,700 cells/mm(2) in average with a low percentage of dead cells; 65 pre-cut tissues were used for grafting during a 2-year period.
评估在布拉格眼组织库中手工制备的带基质边缘的Descemet膜内皮角膜移植术(DMEK-S)的预切割后角膜板层的定量和定性参数。回顾性分析了在2年期间提供用于移植的所有65个成功制备的预切割后角膜板层。这些板层由内皮-Descemet膜的中央区域和周围的支持性周边基质边缘组成,是从内皮细胞密度高于2500个细胞/mm²的角膜巩膜纽扣中手工制备的。在制备前、制备后立即以及在31°C下器官培养储存2天后,评估活内皮细胞密度、死细胞百分比、六角形度和变异系数。总共评估了57个板层的内皮。制备后立即,平均活内皮细胞密度为2835个细胞/mm²,平均发现1.8%的死细胞。储存2天后,细胞密度显著下降至2757个细胞/mm²,死细胞百分比降至1.0%。板层制备和随后储存后,平均六角形度和变异系数有显著变化。制备过程中浪费的组织量为23%。用于DMEK-S的后角膜板层的内皮细胞密度平均高于2700个细胞/mm²,死细胞百分比低;在2年期间,65个预切割组织用于移植。
