Density of regenerative sub-epithelial nerve plex, stromal nerve and stromal keratocytes in vivo confocal microscopy [ Time Frame: one year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Shapes and location:

  1. Sub-epithelial nerve plex is in the depth between 35um to 65um shaping like white thin line with branches in vivo confocal microscopy.
  2. Sromal nerve is in the stromal layer(about 70um to 500um) shaping like white thick trunk with branches in vivo confocal microscopy.
  3. Stromal keratocytes is in the stromal layer like white rod-shape in vivo confocal microscopy.

Xenogenic Keratoplasty From Porcine Cornea
Phase I Study of Xenogenic Keratoplasty From Porcine Cornea in the Treatment of Infectious Corneal Ulcer

Acellular porcine cornea is a valid substitution for human cornea because of its similar biological structure, corneal superficial curvature and good histocompatibility toward human. Facing the lack of human cornea donor, it is hypothesised that using acellular lamellar porcine cornea as an alternative of lamellar human cornea to treat infectious corneal ulcer.

Acellular porcine cornea eligibility criteria:

  1. fresh porcine cornea,
  2. porcine cornea keeping transparent without scar, neovascularization or corneal ulcer,
  3. porcine cornea keeping integrative corneal epithelium and endothelium,
  4. acellular porcine cornea keeping transparent.
Interventional
Phase 1
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Single Blind (Subject)

Corneal Transplantation
  • Genetic: Xenogenic cornea

  • Genetic: homogenic cornea
    homogenic corneas were sterilised by radiation
  • Experimental: Xenogenic cornea
    Intervention: Genetic: Xenogenic cornea
  • Active Comparator: human cornea
    Intervention: Genetic: homogenic cornea
