  • Experimental Glaucoma Model with Controllable Intraocular Pressure History Kayla R
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Experimental glaucoma model with controllable intraocular pressure history Kayla R. Ficarrotta1, Youssef H. Mohamed1 & Christopher L. Passaglia1,2* Glaucoma-like neuropathies can be experimentally induced by disturbing aqueous outfow from the eye, resulting in intraocular pressure (IOP) changes that are variable in magnitude and time course and permanent in duration. This study introduces a novel method of glaucoma induction that ofers researchers round-the-clock measurement and reversible control of IOP for the frst time. One eye of Brown-Norway rats was implanted with a cannula tethered to a pressure sensor and aqueous reservoir. IOP was raised 10 mmHg for weeks-to-months in treated animals and unaltered in control animals. Counts of Brn3a-expressing retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in implanted eyes were indistinguishable from non-implanted eyes in control animals and 15 ± 2%, 23 ± 4%, and 38 ± 4% lower in animals exposed to 2, 4, and 9 weeks of IOP elevation. RGC loss was greater in peripheral retina at 2 weeks and widespread at longer durations. Optic nerves also showed progressive degeneration with exposure duration, yet conventional outfow facility of implanted eyes was normal (24.1 ± 2.9 nl/min/mmHg) even after 9-weeks elevation. Hence, this infusion-based glaucoma model exhibits graded neural damage with unimpaired outfow pathways. The model further revealed a potentially-signifcant fnding that outfow properties of rat eyes do not remodel in response to chronic ocular hypertension. Glaucoma is a heterogeneous group of ocular disorders characterized by progressive and preferential loss of ret- inal ganglion cells (RGCs), resulting in visual feld defcits and ultimately blindness.

  • Affections of Uvea Affections of Uvea
    AFFECTIONS OF UVEA AFFECTIONS OF UVEA Anatomy and physiology: • Uvea is the vascular coat of the eye lying beneath the sclera. • It consists of the uvea and uveal tract. • It consists of 3 parts: Iris, the anterior portion; Ciliary body, the middle part; Choroid, the third and the posterior most part. • All the parts of uvea are intimately associated. Iris • It is spongy having the connective tissue stroma, muscular fibers and abundance of vessels and nerves. • It is lined anteriorly by endothelium and posteriorly by a pigmented epithelium. • Its color is because of amount of melanin pigment. Mostly it is brown or golden yellow. • Iris has two muscles; the sphincter which encircles the pupil and has parasympathetic innervation; the dilator which extends from near the sphincter and has sympathetic innervation. • Iris regulates the amount of light admitted to the interior through pupil. • The iris separates the anterior chamber from the posterior chamber of the eye. Ciliary Body: • It extends backward from the base of the iris to the anterior part of the choroid. • It has ciliary muscle and the ciliary processes (70 to 80 in number) which are covered by ciliary epithelium. Choroid: • It is located between the sclera and the retina. • It extends from the ciliaris retinae to the opening of the optic nerve. • It is composed mainly of blood vessels and the pigmented tissue., The pupil • It is circular and regular opening formed by the iris and is larger in dogs in comparison to man. • It contracts or dilates depending upon the light source, due the sphincter and dilator muscles of the iris, respectively.

    Autonomic Nerves Containing Substance P in the Aqueous Outflow Channels and Scleral Spur of the Guinea Pig Mariko Sasamoto, Hai-Bo Chen and Shigeo Tsukahara Department of Ophthalmology, Yamanashi Medical University, Tamaho, Yamanashi, Japan Purpose: To study the innervation of the aqueous outflow channels and scleral spur by auto- nomic nerves containing substance P. Methods: The experiments were conducted on guinea pigs. Immunohistochemical tech- niques and capsaicin-ablation of the sensory nerves were used to investigate nerves contain- ing substance P at the light and electron microscopic level. Results: Nerves containing substance P were observed in the aqueous outflow channels and scleral spur regions. The fine structures of these nerves had a similar pattern in those regions, and the labeled elements had abundant small vesicles, a few large vesicles, and numerous neurotubuli. Following capsaicin treatment, these nerves remained intact and no degener- ated substance P-like immunoreactive nerves were found. Conclusions: Nerves containing substance P are most likely of autonomic origin in view of their ultrastructural features. These nerves innervate the aqueous outflow channels and scleral spur, and are probably important for neurogenic influences on the intraocular pres- sure by the autonomic nervous system.

Introduction The scleral spur region should also be considered 4,5 Aqueous outflow channels and the scleral spur because it plays a part in outflow regulation. The human scleral spur contains elastic tissue, similar to play important roles in the regulation of intraocular sclera, so that changes in the IOP might affect these pressure (IOP), and are known to have varied pepti- 5 dergic innervation, which have received special at- tissues.

  • Tissue-Engineered Models for Glaucoma Research

Meinig School of Biomedical Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA; [email protected] 2 College of Human Ecology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-607-255-8491 Received: 5 June 2020; Accepted: 22 June 2020; Published: 24 June 2020 Abstract: Glaucoma is a group of optic neuropathies characterized by the progressive degeneration of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Patients with glaucoma generally experience elevations in intraocular pressure (IOP), followed by RGC death, peripheral vision loss and eventually blindness. However, despite the substantial economic and health-related impact of glaucoma-related morbidity worldwide, the surgical and pharmacological management of glaucoma is still limited to maintaining IOP within a normal range. This is in large part because the underlying molecular and biophysical mechanisms by which glaucomatous changes occur are still unclear. In the present review article, we describe current tissue-engineered models of the intraocular space that aim to advance the state of glaucoma research. Specifically, we critically evaluate and compare both 2D and 3D-culture models of the trabecular meshwork and nerve fiber layer, both of which are key players in glaucoma pathophysiology. Finally, we point out the need for novel organ-on-a-chip models of glaucoma that functionally integrate currently available 3D models of the retina and the trabecular outflow pathway.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

  • Contractile Cells in the Human Scleral Spur
    Exp. Eye Res. (1992) 54, 531-543 Contractile Cells in the Human Scleral Spur ERNST TAMM”“, CASSANDRA FLUGEL”, FRITZ H.STEFANIb~~~ JOHANNES W. ROHEN” aDepartment of Anatomy, University of Erlangen- Niirnberg and bEye Hospital of the University of Munich, Germany (Received Lund 75 March 7997 and accepted in revised form 73 June 7997) The scieral spur in 37 human (age 17-87 years) and six cynomolgusmonkey eyes (2-4 years) was investigated. Serial meridional and tangential sections were studied with ultrastructural and immunocytochemicalmethods. The bundlesof the ciliary muscledo not enter the scleralspur, but their tendons, which consistof elasticfibres join the elasticfibres in the scleralspur. Within the scleralspur a populationof circularly oriented and spindle-shapedcells is found. In contrast to the ciliary musclecells, the scleralspur cellsform no bundles,but are looselyaggregated. They have long cytoplasmicprocesses and are connectedto each other by adherens-typeand gap junctions. They stain intensely for a-smooth muscleactin. myosin and vimentin. In contrast to the ciliary musclecells, they do not stain for desmin. Ultrastructurally, the scleral spur cells contain abundant thin (actin) filaments, but do not otherwise show the typical ultrastructural features of ciliary musclecells. The scleral spur cells do not expressa completebasal lamina. They form individual tendinousconnections with the elasticfibres in the scleral spur, which are continuous with the elasticfibres of the trabecular meshwork.The scleralspur cellsare in close contact with nerve terminals containing small agranular (30-60 nm) and large granular (65-l 10 nm) vesiclesbut alsowith terminalscontaining small granular (30-60 nm) vesicleswhich are regardedas typical for adrenergic terminals. We conclude that the scleral spur cells are contractile myofibroblasts.Their contraction might influence the rate of the aqueousoutflow.
