Abstract:
We used in vitro bromodeoxyuridine to analyze the labeling indexes of conjunctival cells in several external eye diseases. Patients with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis, squamous cell carcinoma of the conjunctiva, drug-induced pseudopemphigoid, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome had increased conjunctival DNA synthesis.

Abnormal Proliferation
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the daughter...
