[Erythrocyte aggregation in vivo and diabetic microangiopathy. Physiopathologic determinants and clinical correlations].

Conjunctival angioscopy is a non invasive way for visualization and quantitative evaluation of the microcirculation. Grading red blood cell aggregation is possible in vivo using Ditzel's four grades score. The two-dimensional organization of conjunctival microvessels allows morphometric quantification of microvascular density. The aim of our study was to evaluate the determinant factors of erythrocyte aggregation and the place of conjunctival angioscopy in the early detection of diabetic microangiopathy. Conjunctival parameters were red blood cell aggregation (Ditzel's score) and morphometric evaluation of capillary, venular and arteriolar density. Criteria of diabetic microangiopathy were microalbuminuria and retinal fluorescein angiogram. Both conjunctival angioscopy and retinal angiogram were scored independently. Results obtained in 30 type 1 diabetic patients, with multifactorial statistical analysis, show that red blood cell aggregation in vivo is an essential discriminant factor for diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. This rheological phenomenon depends more on duration of diabetes (analysis of variance p = .0005, r = .65) and metabolic control than on albuminemia or fibrinogenemia such as in non-diabetic patients. Manual morphometric data confirmed vascular rarefaction associated with excessive red blood cell aggregation (beta = .50). These results suggest that grading red blood cell aggregation in vivo is an interesting tool for physiopathological and clinical studies of diabetic microangiopathy.

[Human collagen IV lenses and epikeratoplasy in monkeys. Study of epithelial cicatrization].

A previous study showed the good tolerance of the human type IV collagen lenses implanted by epikeratoplasty in 8 monkeys. It also showed type IV collagen is a good material for the reepithelialization. But we have been interested in the stability of the epithelial healing. The ultrastructural study found anchoring structures. However these were inconstant. So the authors try to understand better the mechanisms of this synthesis of the anchoring structures and describe the future ways of this experimental study.
