JB Jonas, RM Rank, WM Budde - American journal of ophthalmology, 2002 - Elsevier RESULTS: Immunologic graft reactions were detected in 46 patients (46/338 = 13.6%). Statistically
significant risk factors for the development of graft reactions were loosening of sutures (P =
.046), and preoperative and postoperative corneal vascularization (P = .04). Frequency of ... Cited by 46 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 9 versions
BA Bradley - Transplant Immunology, 2002 - Elsevier In transplantation the risk of acute rejection decreases with recipient age. This is clearly illustrated
in transplantation of a non-vascularised tissue, such as the cornea. In vascularised
transplants, such as kidneys, acute rejection decreases with recipient age, but the ... Cited by 44 - Related articles - All 3 versions
AJ George, DF Larkin - American Journal of Transplantation, 2004 - interscience.wiley.com The most commonly performed transplant is that of the cornea, with 2292 corneal grafts performed
in the UK in 2002–03, compared with 1775 renal transplants [1]. In the USA approximately 40
000 transplants are performed every year [2]. However this preponderance is not ... Cited by 41 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 3 versions

DALK eyes revealed that the level of visual acuity was related to the thickness of residual recipient
corneal stroma. Eyes with a recipient corneal bed thickness of <20 μm had visual acuities ... Cited by 37 - Related articles - All 14 versions

E Bertelmann, J Jaroszewski, U Pleyer - Ophthalmologica, 2000 - content.karger.com Though keratoplasty is the most successful transplantation [ 1 ], corneal graft rejection is still
the most frequent complication after corneal grafting and often leads to irreversible transplant
failure. A recently published study on the outcome of corneal graft rejection showed that ... Cited by 22 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
A Panda, M Vanathi, A Kumar, Y Dash, S Priya - Survey of ophthalmology, 2007 - Elsevier Penetrating keratoplasty is the most widely practiced type of transplantation in humans. Irreversible
immune rejection of the transplanted cornea is the major cause of human allograft failure in the
intermediate and late postoperative period. This immunological process causes ... Cited by 22 - Related articles - All 7 versions
T Reinhard, R Sundmacher - Transplant International, 2002 - Springer The mainstay in the prophylaxis of immune reactions after penetrating keratoplasty is still the
administration of topical corticosteroids [14]. Further improvement in graft prognosis has been
brought about by systemic administration of immunosuppressives such as Cyclo- sporin ... Cited by 19 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
