Clinical TrialNormative measurements of the Chinese extraocular musculature by high-field magnetic resonance imaging.
To establish the normal measurements of diameter and cross-sectional area of the Chinese extraocular muscles (EOMs) and optic nerve-sheath complex (ON) as seen on high-field (3-Tesla; 3T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ⋯ The Chinese 3T MRI EOMs and ON normative data may be useful in determining pathologic enlargement of the EOMs and ON in various orbital conditions. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00348413.).

Comparative StudyComparison of fresh corneal tissue versus glycerin-cryopreserved corneal tissue in deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
To compare the microstructural differences in fresh corneal tissue (FCT) with glycerin-cryopreserved corneal tissue (GCCT) used during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). ⋯ DALK using GCCT provides clinical results comparable to FCT. GCCT can be used safely and effectively for DALK and may minimize stromal rejection after surgery.
