Literature review and suggested protocol for prevention and treatment of corneal graft rejection

Otavio Azevedo Magalhaes et al. Eye (Lond). 2020 Mar.

Abstract
in English, Chinese

Effective prophylaxis and treatment of corneal graft rejection are essential to improve outcomes in corneal transplantation. To date, there has been no standardized protocol published that outlines the optimal prophylactic and therapeutic approaches and, furthermore, the published controlled trials on this subject are limited. Likewise, no study has addressed how the level of antigen exposure varies between different types of keratoplasties. The aim of this paper is to provide a simple evidence-based protocol for the prevention and treatment of corneal graft rejection.

摘要: 对于角膜移植术后的排斥反应进行有效的预防和治疗对与改善角膜移植术的预后至关重要。到目前为止, 还未有针对角膜移植排斥的最佳预防与治疗方法的标准方案, 另外, 已发表的对照试验例数有限。更没有研究证实不同类型的角膜移植术后抗原暴露程度如何变化。本文旨在提供一个简单的、具有循证依据的针对角膜移植术后角膜移植排斥反应的临床方案。预防和治疗角膜移植排斥的文献回顾与建议方案摘要: 对于角膜移植术后的排斥反应进行有效的预防和治疗对与改善角膜移植术的预后至关重要。到目前为止,还未有针对角膜移植排斥的最佳预防与治疗方法的标准方案,另外,已发表的对照试验例数有限。更没有研究证实不同类型的角膜移植术后抗原暴露程度如何变化。本文旨在提供一个简单的、具有循证依据的针对角膜移植术后角膜移植排斥反应的临床方案。.
