Abstract
BACKGROUND: To assess the effects of amniotic membrane extract (AMX) on cellular activity of primary human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells under mechanical and oxidative stress, and on human limbal cells under oxidative stress. METHODS: Corneal mechanical stress was simulated with a linear scratch in confluent HCE cell plates, then incubated with 0.1% AMX for 48 and 72 h. Subjecting HCE cultures to 0.5 mmol/L tertiary-butylhydroperoxide for 1 h simulated an oxidative stress. 0.1% AMX-treated cultures were compared with controls at 24 and 48 h using cellular viability assay, along with 12-h AMX pretreatment and human limbal cell comparisons. RESULTS: Mechanical stress on HCE cultures revealed a statistically significant distance ratio at 48 and 72 h in favour of 0.1% AMX-treated cultures (P = 0.021 and 0.035, respectively). Oxidative stress did not reveal any significant difference in cellular viability of AMX-treated versus control cultures. Twelve hour AMX pre-treatment prior to oxidative stress revealed a significant difference after 24 h from oxidative injury (73.3% AMX vs. 66.0% control, P = 0.035), but not after 48 h. Human limbal cells demonstrated significantly improved oxidative viability compared with HCE cells, with (91.0% vs. 82.0% control, P = 0.017) and without 0.1% AMX pre-treatment (91.2% vs. 83.7% control, P = 0.019). CONCLUSIONS: HCE cells treated with AMX healed faster after mechanical insult, suggesting a potential benefit in acute corneal injuries. Under oxidative stress, human limbal cells, a more proliferative cell type, showed superior viability compared with HCE cells.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
