The transparent anterior portion of the fibrous coat of the eye consisting of five layers: stratified squamous CORNEAL EPITHELIUM; BOWMAN MEMBRANE; CORNEAL STROMA; DESCEMET MEMBRANE; and mesenchymal CORNEAL ENDOTHELIUM. It serves as the first refracting medium of the eye. It is structurally continuous with the SCLERA, avascular, receiving its nourishment by permeation through spaces between the lamellae, and is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the TRIGEMINAL NERVE via the ciliary nerves and those of the surrounding conjunctiva which together form plexuses. (Cline et al., Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)
Glaucoma
An ocular disease, occurring in many forms, having as its primary characteristics an unstable or a sustained increase in the intraocular pressure which the eye cannot withstand without damage to its structure or impairment of its function. The consequences of the increased pressure may be manifested in a variety of symptoms, depending upon type and severity, such as excavation of the optic disk, hardness of the eyeball, corneal anesthesia, reduced visual acuity, seeing of colored halos around lights, disturbed dark adaptation, visual field defects, and headaches. (Dictionary of Visual Science, 4th ed)

Intercellular junctions in the ciliary epithelium. (1/1033)

The fine structure of the intercellular junctions in the ciliary epithelium of rhesus monkeys and rabbits was studied with conventional electron microscopy of thin-sectioned specimens and the freeze-fracturing technique. In the rhesus monkey, a zonula occludens, zonula adhaerens, gap junctions, and desmosomes interconnect the nonpigmented cells, whereas gap junctions, puncta adhaerentia, and desmosomes connect pigmented to nonpigmented cells, and pigmented cells to one another. In the rabbit, desmosomes are absent between nonpigmented cells, and substituted for by puncta adhaerentia. The zonula occludens between nonpigmented cells greatly varies in its complexity in different regions of the cell perimeter, and in places, it may consist of very few intramembrane strands; this suggests that the ciliary epithelium is relatively leaky to ions and small molecules. Gap junctions are ubiquitous in the ciliary epithelium and particularly numerous at the interface between pigmented and nonpigmented layers; this finding indicates that the cells of the ciliary epithelium are joined in a metabolic syncytium. All gap junctions are characterized by the crystalline configuration which is typical of the uncoupled state; furthermore, in specimens fixed by immersion, they may be caused by uncoupling and take place in the time interval elapsing between interruption of the blood supply and arrival of the fixative fluid. Puncta adhaerentia resemble zonulae adhaerentes in their structural details but are macular in shape instead of encompassing the cell perimeter in a beltlike fashion. In contrast with desmosomes, the intercellular cleft of puncta adhaerentia has an irregular width and contains opaque material, but this never gives rise to the central band typical of desmosomes. On the inner aspect of the junctional membranes, there is a layer of fluffy material but no plaque of insertion for a bundle of tonofilaments. Finally, puncta adhaerentia have no representation in the interior of the plasmalemma and are intimately associated with cytoplasmic microfilaments. They probably anchor to the plasmalemma the contractile apparatus of the ciliary epithelial cells.  (+info)

Microvascular loops and networks as prognostic indicators in choroidal and ciliary body melanomas. (2/1033)

BACKGROUND: Malignant melanoma of the ciliary body and choroid of the eye is a tumor that disseminates frequently, and 50% of the diagnosed patients die within 10 years. We investigated the hypothesis that, by histopathologic analysis of the arrangement of microvessels (i.e., small blood vessels) in loops and networks, we might be able to differentiate better those patients with a favorable prognosis from those with a poor prognosis. METHODS: We conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study of melanoma-specific and all-cause mortality for 167 consecutive patients who had an eye surgically removed because of malignant choroidal or ciliary body melanoma during the period from 1972 through 1981. Microvascular loops and networks were evaluated independently by two pathologists who were unaware of patient outcome. RESULTS: Microvascular patterns could be assessed in 134 (80%) of 167 melanoma specimens. The 10-year probability of melanoma-specific survival was worse if microvascular loops (0.45 versus 0.83; two-sided P<.0001) and networks (0.41 versus 0.72, two-sided P<.0001) were present. In multivariate Cox regression analysis of melanoma-specific survival, the hazard ratios were 1.66 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.19-2.30) for the presence of loops and networks as a combined three-category variable, 2.36 (95% CI = 1.37-4.05) for the presence of epithelioid cells, 1.11 (95% CI = 1.03-1.19) for the largest basal tumor diameter (evaluated as a continuous variable), and 2.14 (95% CI = 1.25-3.67) for ciliary body involvement. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with malignant uveal melanoma who have a favorable prognosis can be distinguished from those with a poor prognosis by histopathologic analysis of microvascular patterns in uveal melanoma tumor specimens.  (+info)

Hyaluronan synthase expression in bovine eyes. (3/1033)

PURPOSE: Hyaluronan (HA), a high-molecular-weight linear glycosaminoglycan, is a component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). It is expressed in eyes and plays important roles in many biologic processes, including cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Hyaluronan is produced by HA synthase (HAS), which has three isoforms: HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3. In this study, the HAS expression in the anterior segment of bovine eyes was investigated to determine the significance of HA in eyes. METHODS: To obtain bovine HAS probes, degenerate oligonucleotide primers, based on well-conserved amino acid sequences including the catalytic region of each HAS isoform, were used for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction to amplify mRNA from bovine corneal endothelial cells (BCECs). Hyaluronan synthase-1 expression in the anterior segment of bovine eyes at the protein level was investigated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: All three HAS isoforms were expressed in BCECs at the mRNA level. Amplified cDNA fragments of HAS1, HAS2, and HAS3 from BCECs can be aligned to human counterparts, showing similarities of 100%, 97.3%, and 100%, respectively, at the amino acid level. Hyaluronan synthase 1 was expressed at the protein level in corneal epithelium, keratocyte, corneal endothelium, conjunctival epithelium, ciliary epithelium, capillary endothelium, and trabecular meshwork. CONCLUSIONS: Hyaluronan synthase isoforms were expressed in the ocular anterior segment and are speculated to be involved in HA production in situ.  (+info)

Latrunculin-A causes mydriasis and cycloplegia in the cynomolgus monkey. (4/1033)

PURPOSE: To determine the effect of latrunculin (LAT)-A, which binds to G-actin and disassembles actin filaments, on the pupil, accommodation, and isolated ciliary muscle (CM) contraction in monkeys. METHODS: Pupil diameter (vernier calipers) and refraction (coincidence refractometry) were measured every 15 minutes from 0.75 to 3.5 hours after topical LAT-A 42 microg (approximately 10 microM in the anterior chamber [AC]). Refraction was measured every 5 minutes from 0.5 to 1.5 hours after intracameral injection of 10 microl of 50 microM LAT-A (approximately 5 microM in AC), with intramuscular infusion of 1.5 mg/kg pilocarpine HCl (PILO) during the first 15 minutes of measurements. Pupil diameter was measured at 1 and 2 hours, and refraction was measured every 5 minutes from 1 to 2 hours, after intravitreal injection of 20 microl of 1.25 mM LAT-A (approximately 10 microM in vitreous), with intramuscular infusion of 1.5 mg/kg PILO during the first 15 minutes of measurements (all after topical 2.5% phenylephrine), and contractile response of isolated CM strips, obtained <1 hour postmortem and mounted in a perfusion apparatus, to 10 microM PILO +/- LAT-A was measured at various concentrations. RESULTS: Topical LAT-A of 42 microg dilated the pupil without affecting refraction. Intracameral LAT-A of 5 microM inhibited miotic and accommodative responses to intramuscular PILO. Intravitreal LAT-A of 10 microM had no effect on accommodative or miotic responses to intramuscular PILO. LAT-A dose-dependently relaxed the PILO-contracted CM by up to 50% at 3 microM in both the longitudinal and circular vectors. CONCLUSIONS: In monkeys, LAT-A causes mydriasis and cycloplegia, perhaps related to its known ability to disrupt the actin microfilament network and consequently to affect cell contractility and adhesion. Effects of LAT-A on the iris and CM may have significant physiological and clinical implications.  (+info)

A3 adenosine receptors regulate Cl- channels of nonpigmented ciliary epithelial cells. (5/1033)

Adenosine stimulates Cl- channels of the nonpigmented (NPE) cells of the ciliary epithelium. We sought to identify the specific adenosine receptors mediating this action. Cl- channel activity in immortalized human (HCE) NPE cells was determined by monitoring cell volume in isotonic suspensions with the cationic ionophore gramicidin present. The A3-selective agonist N6-(3-iodobenzyl)-adenosine-5'-N-methyluronamide (IB-MECA) triggered shrinkage (apparent Kd = 55 +/- 10 nM). A3-selective antagonists blocked IB-MECA-triggered shrinkage, and A3-antagonists (MRS-1097, MRS-1191, and MRS-1523) also abolished shrinkage produced by 10 microM adenosine when all four known receptor subtypes are occupied. The A1-selective agonist N6-cyclopentyladenosine exerted a small effect at 100 nM but not at higher or lower concentrations. The A2A agonist CGS-21680 triggered shrinkage only at high concentration (3 microM), an effect blocked by MRS-1191. IB-MECA increased intracellular Ca2+ in HCE cells and also stimulated short-circuit current across rabbit ciliary epithelium. A3 message was detected in both HCE cells and rabbit ciliary processes using RT-PCR. We conclude that human HCE cells and rabbit ciliary processes possess A3 receptors and that adenosine can activate Cl- channels in NPE cells by stimulating these A3 receptors.  (+info)

Higher proportions of type C than of types A and B natriuretic peptide receptors exist in the rat ciliary body. (6/1033)

We investigate the interaction of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) with their receptors (NPRA, NPRB and NPRC), as well as the proportion and localization of those receptors in the rat ciliary body. Binding assays and affinity cross-linking experiments demonstrated the presence of the NPRC receptor type. However, the three natriuretic peptides stimulate the guanylate cyclase activity in the ciliary body membranes suggesting the presence of the NPRA and NPRB receptor type. Microautoradiographic data show that the NPRs are localized in the whole ciliary body. Our results indicated that NPRC is the most prominent receptor type in this tissue.  (+info)

Dendritic cells and macrophages in the uveal tract of the normal mouse eye. (7/1033)

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages are components of the immune cell populations in the uveal tract whose density, distribution, turnover, and function may play a role in the maintenance of immunological homeostasis in the eye. Little is known of these cells in the mouse eye despite this being the predominant experimental model in many studies of ocular immune responses and immunoinflammatory mediated eye diseases. The aim of the present study was to obtain further immunophenotypic data on resident tissue macrophages and DC populations in the mouse uveal tract. METHODS: Pieces of iris, ciliary body, and choroid dissected from perfusion fixed BALB/c mice were incubated whole in a variety of anti-macrophage and DC monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Labelled cells were visualised using either single or double immunoperoxidase techniques. RESULTS: Quantitative analysis and double immunolabelling revealed that 80% of F4/80(+) cells (a mAb that recognises both DC and macrophages) in the iris are macrophages (SER4(+)). The iris contained a network of Ia+ cells (412 (SD 130) cells/mm2) of which two thirds appear to be DC. A similar pattern was observed in the ciliary body and choroid. Only a few DC in the uveal tract were very weakly reactive for mAbs which recognise B7-1 (CD80), B7-2 (CD86), beta2 integrin (mAb N418), and multivesicular bodies associated with antigen presentation (mAb M342). CONCLUSIONS: The present study reveals that the mouse uveal tract, like the rat, contains rich networks of DC and resident tissue macrophages. The networks of resident tissue macrophages in the mouse uveal tract closely resemble similar networks in non-ocular tissues. The phenotype of uveal tract DC suggests they are in the "immature" phase of their life cycle, similar to Langerhans cells of the skin, thus implying their role in situ within the eye is antigen capture and not antigen presentation.  (+info)

Age-related changes in human ciliary muscle and lens: a magnetic resonance imaging study. (8/1033)

PURPOSE: To use high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images of the eye to directly measure the relationship between ciliary muscle contraction and lens response with advancing age. METHODS: A General Electric, 1.5-Tesla MR imager and a custom-designed eye imaging coil were used to collect high-resolution MR images from 25 subjects, 22 through 83 years of age. A nonmagnetic binocular stimulus apparatus was used to induce both relaxed accommodation (0.1 diopter [D]) and strong accommodative effort (8.0 D). Measurements of the ciliary muscle ring diameter (based on the inner apex), lens equatorial diameter, and lens thickness were derived from the MR images. RESULTS: Muscle contraction is present in all subjects and reduces only slightly with advancing age. A decrease in the diameter of the unaccommodated ciliary muscle ring was highly correlated with advancing age. Lens equatorial diameter does not correlate with age for either accommodative state. Although unaccommodated lens thickness (i.e., lens minor axis length) increases with age, the thickness of the lens under accommodative effort is only modestly age-dependent. CONCLUSIONS: Ciliary muscle contractile activity remains active in all subjects. A decrease in the unaccommodated ciliary muscle diameter, along with the previously noted increase in lens thickness (the "lens paradox"), demonstrates the greatest correlation with advancing age. These results support the theory that presbyopia is actually the loss in ability to disaccommodate due to increases in lens thickness, the inward movement of the ciliary ring, or both.  (+info)

Molecular Vision: Suppression of IκBα increases the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in human ciliary muscle cellsMolecular Vision: Suppression of IκBα increases the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in human ciliary muscle cells
In the current study, our results demonstrated that the IκB/NF-κB signaling pathway was involved in the expression and activation of MMP-2 in human ciliary muscle cells. Downregulation of IκBα by siRNA resulted in significant translocation of NF-κBp65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus after 24 h to 72 h. The secretion of MMP-2 increased as well as the activation from pro-MMP-2 to active-MMP-2. In addition, the expression of MT1-MMP increased while the expression of TIMP-2 reduced both in mRNA and protein levels. It is implied from these results that NF-κB is an important transcriptional factor involved in the control of uveoscleral outflow through the promotion of MMP-2 expression. It has been reported that NF-κB is involved in various activities and plays a key role in multiple biological processes including chemical stress, physical stress, physiologic stress, receptor ligands, proinflammatory cytokines, and apoptosis. At the same time, there are also multiple and complex signal ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation using iris hooks versus viscoelastic devices. AU - Kahook, Malik Y.. AU - Schuman, Joel S.. AU - Noecker, Robert J.. PY - 2007. Y1 - 2007. N2 - Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation utilizes a diode laser to ablate ciliary body epithelium, resulting in decreased intraocular pressure. Viscoelastic devices are often used to elevate the iris for improved exposure and efficient treatment of targeted tissue. Occasionally, early postoperative intraocular pressure spikes may occur due to retained viscoelastic material. Iris hooks may provide a safe alternative for elevation of the iris duting endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation treatment and may be particularly advantageous in cases of aphakia or posterior capsule compromise in which viscoelastic removal is made more difficult..

Fig. 8. Hypothetical model of the involvement of NaDC3, OAT1, OAT3, MRP2, and MRP4 in transepithelial OA transport across the ciliary body, aqueous humor (AH)-to-blood (choroid). Uptake of OA across the basolateral membrane of nonpigmented cells occurs via a tertiary active transport process involving Na,K-ATPase (1°; NKA), NaDC3 (2°), and OAT1 and/or OAT3 (3°). OAs are then pumped into the interstitium by MRP2, which localizes to apical membranes of nonpigmented cells. Alternatively, OAs diffuse through gap junctions into pigmented cells and are pumped into the interstitium by MRP4. MRP2 and MRP4 are ATP-dependent efflux transporters. mRNA for NaDC3 has been detected in nonpigmented epithelial cells (George et al., 2004), but its subcellular localization is unknown. It is placed in the basolateral membrane of nonpigmented cells in this model given that it trafficks to basolateral membranes of other epithelial cells. Other OA transporters may also contribute to transepithelial OA secretion. ...

Dorzolamide is a sulfonamide and a highly specific carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II) inhibitor, which is the main CA isoenzyme involved in aqueous humor secretion. Inhibition of CA-II in the ciliary processes of the eye decreases aqueous humor secretion, presumably by slowing the formation of bicarbonate ions with subsequent reduction in sodium and fluid transport. Dorzolamide also accumulates in red blood cells as a result of CA-II binding, as CA-II is found predominantly in erythrocytes. However, sufficient CA-II activity remains so that adverse effects due to systemic CA inhibition are not observed ...

Cytoplasmic pH was measured by imaging microscopy using the pH-sensitive dye BCECF (2′,7′-bis(2-carboxyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein-acetoxyethyl ester). To load the cells with BCECF, NPE cells grown to semiconfluence on a 35-mm plastic dish (Corning Costar, Corning, NY) were incubated for 10 minutes with BCECF-AM (5.0 μM) as described earlier. 24 Then, the cells were washed five times with the Krebs solution and incubated for another 10 minutes in Krebs solution to allow de-esterification of the dye. De-esterification transforms BCECF-AM (the ester form) to membrane-impermeable BCECF (acid form), which is trapped in the cytoplasm. The cells were then washed again several times to remove any traces of external dye. The dish containing the cells was then placed in a temperature-controlled perfusion microincubator (PDMI-2; Harvard Biosciences, Holliston, MA) on the stage of an upright epifluorescence microscope (Eclipse; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) where the preparation was superfused (3.0 mL · ...

Ciliary body medulloepithelioma is an intraocular neoplasm derived from the primitive ciliary body medullary epithelium, which forms the non-pigmented ciliary body epithelium. First described in histologic detail by Verhoeff in 1904, this unusual lesion was named teratoneuroma [1]. Fuchs in 1908 coined the term of diktyoma [1]. However, Grinker later on identified the cellular origin of the tumor by naming it medullopithelioma in 1931 [2]. Without any hereditary or racial predisposition, this childhood tumor is the second most common intraocular primary malignancy, following primary intraocular retinoblastoma [3]. Its exact population based incidence is undetermined because it is a very rare neoplasm [4]. Based on the incidence of retinoblastoma, which has been reported to be around 4.1 per million in the United States, we can infer that the incidence of medulloepithelioma is significantly lower [5]. The average onset of this disease is 4 years of age, with diagnosis typically in the first ...

To assess the biotransformational capability of ocular tissues in the rabbit, representative phase II enzymes were assayed in five tissues from the eye, and in the liver, kidney, and intestine. Within the eye, the iris/ciliary body exhibited the highest glutathione S-transferase activity, whereas the cornea possessed the highest specific activities for N-acetyl-, sulfo-, and UDP-glucuronosyl-transferases. Cornea, iris/ciliary body, choroid, and retina exhibited significant activities of p-aminobenzoic acid N-acetyltransferase, 2-naphthol sulfotransferase, and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene glutathione S-transferase. Despite its size and protein content, lens displayed little or no biotransformational activity. Only the iris/ciliary body conjugated sulfobromophthalein with glutathione. UDP-glucuronsyltransferase activity varied depending on tested substrates and tissues. When compared to liver, kidney, or intestine, N-acetyltransferase activity in the iris/ciliary body nearly matched the rate ...

Glaucoma is a serious disease associated with increased intraocular pressure which often leads to blindness. One of the ways to treat glaucoma is to reduce aqueous humour secretion in the ciliary body of the eye by suppressing (inhibiting) activity of special enzymes - carbonic anhydrases. Russian scientists from RUDN University have designed new compounds that can effectively reduce intraocular pressure by isoform selective inhibiting human carbonic anhydrase. The results of the study were published in the prestigious Bioorganic Chemistry journal.

Pvrl3 encodes a cell adhesion protein that is required for the formation of cell-cell junctions in neurons and other cell types (Takai et al., 2003b). Mutations in this gene are associated with congenital ocular defects in the lens and ciliary body in humans (Lachke et al., 2012). Pvrl3-deficient mice have microphthalmia and defects in cell adhesion between the pigmented and non-pigmented ciliary epithelial cells of the eye (Inagaki et al., 2005). Lamination is normal in the Pvrl3-deficient mouse retina, and it has been proposed that the microphthalmia is a secondary effect of perturbations in the formation of vitreal humor due to the defects in the ciliary epithelium (Inagaki et al., 2005). Cep192 orchestrates a signaling cascade that is required for centrosome maturation and bipolar spindle assembly during mitosis (Kim and Dynlacht, 2013). Downregulation of Cep192 in Brg1-deficient retinae might perturb the coordination of interkinetic nuclear migration and the timing of S-phase and M-phase in ...

Glaucoma - Veterinary VisionGlaucoma - Veterinary Vision
Treatment for glaucoma is directed at restoring both vision and comfort. This requires an accurate assessment of the extent and duration of the pressure elevation. In eyes which have the potential for return of functional vision (no globe enlargement, duration less than one week), immediate medical therapy is used to initially reduce the pressure. This is followed by a choice of surgical options to attempt to permanently normalize the pressure. Medical management is rarely successful long-term due to recurrent pressure elevation and drug toxicity.. The diode laser is used to treat glaucoma through photocoagulation of the ciliary body. A 1 mm probe is applied to the sclera 2-2.5 mm posterior to the limbus to deliver 2.5-3.5 joules (2.5 mwatts for 1000-1400 msec) of energy to the ciliary body over 20-30 sites. This results in localized destruction of the secretory epithelium of the ciliary body thus reducing aqueous humor production. There is also some increase in extrascleral outflow of aqueous ...

miRNA-Seq in four different normal human ocular tissues | IOVS | ARVO JournalsmiRNA-Seq in four different normal human ocular tissues | IOVS | ARVO Journals
Purpose : MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, noncoding strands of RNA that negatively regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. Since miRNAs have been associated with many eye diseases, many studies have tried to profile the mammalian ocular miRNAs using microarray and realtime PCR. Our study aims to profile ocular miRNA expression in normal human eye tissue using miRNA-Seq. Methods : Total RNAs were extracted from normal human ciliary body (CB) (n=2), cornea (n=2), retina (n=2), and trabecular meshwork (TM) (n=4) samples using mirVana total RNA isolation kit from Life Technologies. We used 1 µg RNA from each sample to prepare sequencing library with Illumina TruSeq Small RNA Library Prep kit with sample-specific indexes. Pooled libraries were sequenced using Illumina MiSeq. Generated sequence reads were trimmed and aligned against human reference database using Bowtie software. Only exact matches to known mature miRNA sequences were counted. The resulting miRNA profile was analyzed and ...

For advanced or aggressive cases of open-angle glaucoma, the patient may be advised to undergo a Laser Cyclophotocoagulation. This procedure is usually conducted when other treatments have proven unsuccessful. This surgery targets the ciliary body within the eye-the part of the eye responsible for production of fluid. If the ciliary body is not functioning properly, the pressure in the frontal portion of the eye will not drain, resulting in glaucoma. An ophthalmologist cuts part of the ciliary body so that it will make less fluid and reduce eye pressure. This procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is followed up with exams to monitor eye pressure and inflammation.. ...

Endoscopic CyclophotocoagulationEndoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation
ECP is a new technique that reduces the amount of fluid (aqueous humor) produced in the eye and thus lowers pressure within the eye (intraocular pressure or IOP). This can help patients suffering from glaucoma, a disease where excess fluid puts pressure on the optic nerve and damages vision.. ECP is often performed at the same time as cataract surgery for patients who suffer from both cataracts and glaucoma. Recent studies show that patients who undergo the combined ECP/cataract surgery need fewer glaucoma medications over the long term.. During an ECP procedure, the ophthalmologist inserts a tiny probe with a fiber optic light at the tip into the part of the eye that produces fluid, known as the ciliary body or ciliary process. Laser energy then damages some of these cells so they stop producing fluid. The result is a lower, healthier pressure within the eye. Many patients who undergo ECP will sometimes no longer need eyedrops or other glaucoma medications after treatment.. Dr. Allaman has been ...

Meshed parts were then imported into LS-DYNA (LSTC, Livermore, CA) following assembly using LSPREPOST (LSTC). Contacts were defined for each part-to-part contact as follows. The lens to zonules, zonules to ciliary body, ciliary body to sclera, and sclera to cornea were attached sequentially. This contact type ties the nodes and outer segments of the two parts together at the contact interface so that the displacements of adjacent tissues must be equal. Failure of the contact was not modeled at these attachments. Contacts between the vitreous and all other structures, retina and all other structures, and aqueous and all other structures were modeled allowing a failure criterion to be defined at the contact junction. Due to a lack of knowledge of the specific failure thresholds for these junctions in the physical eye, the failure values were set to a level thought to be above reported physiological failure levels of the tissues, with the exception of the retina-to-sclera junction; this contact ...

Glaucoma - Onset, Diagnosis and Management - The Shiba Inu Forum
Weve been instructed that there are several surgical treatments that may prolong vision and help with fluid and pressure reduction. We are still in the process of researching these procedures to see what we want to do. Currently, we are at a point where we could opt to treat her bad eye with one of these surgical procedures, but have decided not to due to her loss in vision. One option is to place a shunt in her eye that would help drain fluid, which has an average success rate of 25% after 1 year and of course a risk of blindness from the surgery. Additionally, the shunt could cause irritation and other issues. This procedure runs around $3,500. Another option we are looking into is Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECPC), which also comes with risks such as cataracts, blindness, and retinal detachment. With this procedure, the lens is removed and small incision is made. With a laser, they blast the ciliary bodies that produce the aqueous humor (the fluid). There is another laser surgery where ...

Diktyoma - WikipediaDiktyoma - Wikipedia
Diktyoma, or ciliary body medulloepithelioma, or teratoneuroma, is a rare tumor arising from primitive medullary epithelium in the ciliary body of the eye. Almost all diktyomas arise in the ciliary body, although, rarely, they may arise from the optic nerve head or retina. The name diktyoma comes from its characteristic findings on histology. Diktyoma is classified into teratoid and nonteratoid types, based on heteroplastic tissue in the former. Each type may be sub-classified as benign or malignant based on histology. Based on histology, the tumor is classified as malignant if it contains poorly differentiated neuroblasts, nuclear pleomorphism, markedly abnormal mitotic activity, sarcomatous components, or invasion into the uvea, cornea, or sclera. Most diktyomas are malignant. The most common symptoms of diktyoma are vision loss and pain, while the most common signs are leukocoria and presence of a mass in the iris or ciliary body. Other signs and symptoms include lens subluxation, glaucoma, ...

HKU Scholars Hub: Significance of NF-kB activation in immortalization of nasopharyngeal epithelial cellsHKU Scholars Hub: Significance of NF-kB activation in immortalization of nasopharyngeal epithelial cells
NF-κB is a key regulator of inflammatory response and is frequently activated in human cancer including the undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), which is common in Southern China including Hong Kong. Activation of NF-κB is common in NPC and may contribute to NPC development. The role of NF-κB activation in immortalization of nasopharyngeal epithelial (NPE) cells, which may represent an early event in NPC pathogenesis, is unknown. Examination of NF-κB activation in immortalization of NPE cells is of particular interest as the site of NPC is often heavily infiltrated with inflammatory cellular components. We found that constitutive activation of NF-κB signaling is a common phenotype in telomerase-immortalized NPE cell lines. Our results suggest that NF-κB activation promotes the growth of telomerase-immortalized NPE cells, and suppression of NF-κB activity inhibits their proliferation. Furthermore, we observed upregulation of c-Myc, IL-6 and Bmi-1 in our immortalized NPE cells. ...

Uveitis is an inflammatory process affecting the iris, the ciliary body, the choroid layer or all or part of these structures of the eye. Significant vision loss can occur in up to 35% of children and adults with uveitis and total blindness as a result of uveitis accounts for 10% to 15% of all cases. Midatech is using its Q-Sphera sustained release technology to develop OpsiSporin, a sustained release cyclosporine, for use in uveitis. Current treatments for uveitis such as systemic or local immunosuppressants and corticosteroids have limited efficacy and very poor side-effect profile, has yet to be brought to market - this is the objective of OpsiSporin.. This project is anticipated to reach clinical stage in the second half of 2018, but the intention is to partner this program globally.. ...
