STUDY OF THE HEALING OF CORNEAL WOUNDS WITH RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE PLASTIC ARTIFICIAL CORNEA

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4159263

Results are reported from preliminary studies employ phosphorus-32 to trace the incorporation of phosphorus into normal corneas, as well as injured, healing, and plastic disc-implanted corneas. Results indicate that phosphoruscontaining components of whole rabbit corneas as well as the corneal epithelium and stroma can be fractionated into the phosphorus-containing components. Results indicate that corneal tissue has an abundant amount of stable phosphorus-containing compounds which could be important in the wound- healing process. (C.H.)
