[Local senile ocular amyloidosis in the pathogenesis of open-angle glaucoma and pseudo-exfoliative syndrome].

A total of 173 biopsy samples of the iris and drainage apparatus obtained at anti-glaucoma operations from 115 patients, aged 32 to 90, with primary open-angle glaucoma and pseudoexfoliative syndrome of different severity degrees were morphologically examined. Similar anatomofunction embryological peculiarities of the eye and brain create prerequisites for the development, in the eye, of processes analogical to Alzheimer's disease. Amyloid angiopathy of the iris is a key element of ischemia, which triggers the mechanisms of apoptosis and lipid peroxidation in the pigment epithelium membranes; this process is accompanied by an intensified synthesis and conformation of fibrous structures of tauprotein and beta-amyloid. Defradation of melanin and proteoglycans leads to the formation of neurotoxic metabolites. The above processes result in suppressing the protective antioxidant reactions as well as in blocking, by fibrous structures, the cellular cytoplasm and extracellular matrix.

[Emoxipin as an inhibitor of angiogenesis].

The effect of emoxypin on angiogenesis in rabbit cornea in aseptic inflammation induced by intracorneal implantation of a piece of quartz and on the development of the vessels of the chick embryo yolk sac was studied. 1% emoxypin pipetted thrice a day for 10-14 days inhibited corneal neovascularization and reduced the formation of new blood vessels. We observed an inhibitory effect on the development of vascular bed of the embryo yolk sac on incubation hour 64-72. The drug affected neither general growth of the embryos no the number of somites.

[Ultrastructure of leiomyoma of the ciliary body].

Leiomyoma of the ciliary body of the eye was studied with the help of optical microscope at the ultrastructural level. The tumour was characterized by 4 types of cells: micro immature myoblasts, macro differentiated myoblasts, dystrophically changed muscle cells with lipofuscin inclusions, and fibroblasto-like cells. At the luminous level the differentiation of pigmental granules of melanin and lipifuscin was impeded. At the ultrastructural level they had different morphology, and therefore the differential diagnosis of a slightly pigmented melanoma and leiomyoma is possible.

[Cell-to-cell interactions between iris and trabecular meshwork in primary open-angle glaucoma].

Pathomorphological study of the ocular draining system in the presence of an ischemic iris was carried out in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). A total of 173 biopsy specimens of the sclera and iris were collected during anti-glaucoma operations in 115 patients aged 32-90 years. The specimens were stained for amyloid with Congo red, thioflavin, and toluidine blue at pH 4.6 and 5.8 for detecting glycosaminoglycanes. The specimens were examined by histochemical and electron microscopic methods. Morphological changes in the trabecular system in POAG are due to abnormalities in the iridal microcirculatory bed. The status of the trabecular system during the initial and advanced stages of glaucoma depends on the severity of involvement of iridal arterioles, capillaries, and venules, modulating the biochemical processes in the anterior segment of the eye. Endotheliocyte and collagen matrix pathology and subsequent degradation of the trabecular system are closely related to dystrophic processes in the iris (release of plasma protein from the vessels and melanin granules into anterior chamber humor, cytotoxic effects of degradation products on adjacent tissues). The detected changes imply the use of drugs improving blood supply to the eye at the microcirculatory level and antihypoxants and antioxidants in local and total-systems therapy of patients with POAG.

[Experimental study of the effectiveness of the use of imunofan in the treatment of viral diseases of the eye].

The efficiency of local therapy of ocular inflammations with a new drug immunophane was evaluated in experiments. Ophthalmological and morphological methods were used in the study. Experiments on 30 Wistar rats (60 eyes) demonstrated the absence of toxic effect on intact ocular tissues. Therapeutic efficiency of immunophane was demonstrated in 13 rabbits (26 eyes) with ophthalmic herpes. The advantages of subconjunctival injections of immunophane in comparison with instillations of leukocytic interferon are demonstrated.

[The causes of necrobiosis and apoptosis of corneal epithelial cells during primary acquired keratoconus].

We studied 56 biopsy samples of conjunctiva and 50 corneal discs excised from 28 patients with acquired keratoconus cornea. The conjunctivas in all biopsy samples showed various stages of immune inflammation. Necrobiotic changes have been revealed in epithelium of the corneal discs going by the pathways of apoptosis--programmed cell death--and oncosis--initial edematic stage of necrobiosis. At the stage of acute inflammation they are due to cytotoxic effect of the lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. Antibody-dependent cytotoxicity mediated by plasma and lymphoid cells predominates at this stage. At the reparative stage of inflammation ischemia, an inductor of apoptosis and oncosis, underlies necrobiotic changes in corneal epithelium.

[2. Diagnostic resources and clinical indications].

Preliminary investigations, dedicated to the diagnostic application of three-dimension ultrasonic angioreconstruction, confirmed the feasibility of using the above method in ophthalmologic practice in cases of suspected intraocular and orbital neoplasms. 32 patients (37 eyes) with various pathologies of the eye and orbital cavity, including choroidal melanoma, facial angiomatosis, retinal detachment, chronic uveitis etc.) were examined. The results are indicative of that the three-dimension ultrasonic angioreconstruction makes it possible to detect the latent vascular neoplasms, which cannot be defined by the standard visual and ultrasonic examinations, and the dislocation of structural elements of the eyeball tunics. Besides, it provides for evaluating their special localization and their interrelations with the neighboring anatomic elements.

[Lipid peroxidation in the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma].

19 tissue samplings of the iris and trabecula from 17 patients, aged 49 to 79, with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) of different stages were examined for the purpose of studying the condition of lipid membranes in the iridial and trabecular tissues by electron microscopy. The results are indicative of that the key role, in the POAG pathogenesis, belongs to lipid peroxidation of posterior and anterior leaves of the retinal pigment epithelium, which is an activator of apoptotic processes in the trabecular endothelium. Therefore, it is advisable to use the lipid- and water-soluble antioxidative drugs to correct the physiological antioxidative deficiency within a complex POAG treatment.
