Does effects of lacrimal occlusion with collagen and silicone plug on patients with conjunctivitis associated with dry eye?
Progressive lacrimal occlusion with collagen and silicone plugs was of clinical benefit to patients with dry eye and conjunctivitis.
This study shows a higher prevalence of aberrations detected using array CGH allied to laser capture microdissection than previously described in the literature, and it appears that the combination of laser capture microdissection and arrayed clones optimizes studies utilizing CGH. Copy gain of PDGFB occurs in a subset of tumors showing no evidence of mutated BRAF or rearranged ret, suggesting that copy gain of PDGFB may underlie the increased expression of platelet-derived growth factor described recently in the literature.
