Man's transplanted porcine cornea after naked eye vision reached 0.4 in the first case in Central China
China's self-developed world's first personal biofilm has been put into production last year. This cornea is based on the porcine cornea and can be used as a substitute for human cornea. One month ago, the first artificial corneal transplant in Central China was successfully implemented in Wuhan Union Hospital. Yesterday, the ophthalmologist reviewed and found that the patient's naked eye vision after wearing the porcine cornea reached 0.4.
Mr. Lu is a farmer in Zaoyang and is 43 years old this year. In November last year, his left eye suddenly became red and swollen and painful. He was treated in the local hospital for half a month without fruit. On December 3, he was transferred to the Wuhan Union Hospital for ophthalmology treatment and was diagnosed with fungal keratitis. "Fungal keratitis is very difficult to treat. Once the drug cannot control the infection, corneal transplantation must be performed, otherwise the eyeball will be removed." Professor Zhang Mingchang, director of the Union Hospital, said that considering the patient's serious condition but limited family economic conditions, After the communication, the hospital decided to take out one of the hospital's four free artificial biological corneas (trade name "Ai Xinyi") to perform a corneal transplant. On December 8, last year, the transplant operation was successfully implemented.
Yesterday, Mr. Lu came to the Eye Hospital of Union Hospital for a review. Chutian Metropolis Daily reporter found that the left eye of his transplanted artificial cornea looks the same as ordinary people. The doctor tested his left eye vision on-site - with a naked eye vision of 0.4 and a corrected visual acuity of 1.0. Mr. Lu was excited to give his hand-written Chinese knot to Professor Zhang Mingchang for his gratitude.
Professor Zhang Mingchang said that the artificial biological cornea is based on clean and clean pig cornea. After transplantation, the patient can gradually integrate with his original corneal tissue for lifelong use. A pig can produce two artificial biological corneas, which are currently priced at about 15,000 yuan each.
At the end of last year, the artificial bio-corneal love alliance donated 100 corneas to the whole country. The first batch of donations in our province was donated 8 pieces, of which 4 were Concord Hospital. The ophthalmology department will also excrete 3 kinds of patients in the province to transplant artificial corneas. .
