    Summary

    Adding hydrocortisone to MK medium improved rabbit cornea storage. Corneas stored with hydrocortisone showed better temperature reversal characteristics after 7 days.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Tissue Engineering
    • Biomedical Science

    Background:

    • Corneal storage medium is crucial for preserving tissue viability.
    • Hydrocortisone is a corticosteroid with anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective properties.
    • Optimizing storage conditions can enhance post-transplant outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effect of hydrocortisone on rabbit cornea storage.
    • To compare the temperature reversal characteristics of corneas stored in different media.

    Main Methods:

    • Rabbit corneas were stored for 7 days.
    • Storage solutions included MK medium and MK medium with hydrocortisone (10(-6)M).
    • Temperature reversal characteristics were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • Corneas stored in MK medium plus hydrocortisone exhibited superior temperature reversal properties.
    • The addition of hydrocortisone enhanced cornea preservation compared to MK medium alone.

    Conclusions:

    • Hydrocortisone supplementation in MK medium improves rabbit cornea storage.
    • This finding suggests a potential benefit for hydrocortisone in clinical corneal preservation.
