  Purpose

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.

Further study details as provided by Xiamen University:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Rate of rejection in three months after keratoplasty [ Time Frame: three months after lamellar keratoplasty ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    1. Rate of epithelium rejection Epithelial rejection performances: 1.1 epithelium edema, OR 1.2 epithelium opacity, OR 1.3 epithelial rejection line.
    2. Rate of stroma rejection Stroma rejection performances: 2.1 stroma edema, OR 2.2 stroma opacity, OR 2.3 suture loosing.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • 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.
