Abstract (portuguese)
As conseqüências da completa remoção do epitélio do limbo esclerocorneano foram avaliadas, bem como o modelo utilizado para tal, em que se empregou o n-heptanol e a ceratectomia superficial. O n-heptanol e a ceratectomia associados possibilitaram a completa excisão das células-tronco. da destruição dessas células decorrem alterações tectônicas significativas factíveis para estudos dos transplantes de córnea.
Abstract (english)
The consequences of complete removal of the sclerocorneal limbus epithelium were evaluated, as well as the model for such, in which n-heptanol and superficial keratectomy were used. The association of n-heptanol and keratectomy allowed a complete excision of stem cells. Moreover, the destruction of these cells led to significant tectonic alterations that could be employed as a feasible model for clinical experimentation of corneal transplantation.
