...Sachio Tofukuji We studied the effects of viscoelastic materials on the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) profiles in the organ-cultured rabbit trabecular meshwork (TM). The cultured specimens were divided into 4 groups: (1) control group; (2) 1% sodium hyaluronate-(Na-HA)-treated group; (3) 3% chondroitin-6...

...Joji Yoneyama The effect of antiglaucoma drugs on glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) of the rabbit trabecular meshwork (TM) was studied by organ culture and sequential enzymatic degradation (SED). Whole TM explants from one rabbit eye were dissected into 8 parts, then divided into control, epinephrine...

...Jon R. Polansky; Don J. Fauss; Pu Chen; Hua Chen; Elke Lütjen-Drecoll; Douglas Johnson; Ron M. Kurtz; Zhi-Dong Ma; Ernest Bloom; Thai D. Nguyen Studies of the effects of glucocorticoid (GC) and oxidative stress stimuli in differentiated cultures of human trabecular meshwork (HTM) cells have...

...Yasuhiro Matsumoto; Douglas H. Johnson Trabecular meshwork cells are actively phagocytic and may function to keep the drainage pathways free of cellular debris, pigment and other material. A decrease in phagocytic capacity has been proposed in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. This study was performed...

...-like pattern, resembling basement-membrane-like material (FBM) was found, similar to that described in steroid-induced glaucoma. This material was found mainly within the inner cribriform and outer corneoscleral regions of the trabecular meshwork, and caused the cribriform layer to be greatly thickened...

...Michael Wiederholt; Natalie Dörschner; Juliane Groth Measurements of isometric tension were performed on isolated trabecular meshwork (TM) and ciliary muscle (CM) strips of the bovine eye. Anterior segments of bovine eyes with well-preserved TM were perfused to measure outflow rate. (1) Bumetanide...

...W.C. Hubbard; C. Kee; P.L. Kaufman Aceclidine increases outflow facility with little accommodative effect. To determine whether this dissociation resides in the ciliary muscle (CM) or trabecular meshwork (TM), we measured aceclidine effects on perfusion outflow facility in both eyes of 8 rhesus...

...Ryo Suzuki; Masako Nakayama; Hideaki Yoshino; Shinji Kurimoto We describe herein a new trial to stimulate trabecular meshwork tissue and thereby increase outflow facility. The efficacy of our laser trabeculostimulation (LTS) was compared with that of conventional laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) since...

...Y. Urakawa Twenty-three normal cadaver eyes were used in this study. Eight trabecular meshwork explants were dissected at 45-degree intervals from a 77-year-old donor eye and cultured for 2 weeks for studying circumferential differences in the amount of extracellular materials in the endothelial...

... to 2 weeks. The glycosaminoglycan (GAG) profiles of the organ-cultured rabbit trabecular meshwork were then investigated and compared with respect to explant size. The results revealed: (1) similar trabecular GAG profiles in both sizes of explants, (2) trabecular GAG profiles obtained within...

...Keizo Nishiyama Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) extracted from the trabecular meshwork (TM) of rabbit eyes were analyzed by cellulose acetate electrophoresis and sequential enzymatic degradation, and compared with GAGs extracted from the adjacent tissues including the cornea, sclera, iris and ciliary...

...Takuo Hoya We evaluated the effect of elastase, a proteolytic enzyme, on the endothelial meshwork of cultured human trabecular meshwork using a solid agar method. The tissues were obtained from 3 postmortem eyes, aged 64, 71 and 77 years. Elastase was added to the culture medium for 24 h...

... delivers a mean energy of 1.2 mJ per pulse at a rate of 20 Hz. A quartz probe, mounted in a steel coat, with a core diameter of 200 µm and an external diameter of 500 µm, is used to deliver the aiming beam to the trabecular meshwork. The tip of the probe is designed to transmit energy at an angle of 65...

...Friederike Stumpff; Michael Wiederholt Ample evidence supports the theory that trabecular meshwork possesses smooth-muscle-like properties. Trabecular meshwork cells express a large number of transporters, channels and receptors, many of which are known to regulate smooth-muscle contractility...
