[Age-related changes in fibronectin of the eye outflow drainage system].

The content of the fibronectin, an extracellular glycoprotein in the drainage outflow system of human eyes was determined by the indirect immunoperoxidase staining technique. The degree of fibronectin accumulation in ocular tissues was evaluated by quantitative morphometric analysis. It was shown that the fibronectin level was elevated in ageing. Increased deposit of fibronectin in trabecular tissues, mainly, in the inner wall of Schlemm's canal and juxta-canalicular zone was demonstrated along with ageing. Comparison of fibronectin accumulation in glaucoma and ageing support the idea that ageing is a risk factor of glaucoma.

[Experience in the surgical treatment of neovascular diabetic glaucoma].

A new operation for neovascular glaucoma, filtrating vitrectomy, is described. The operation is based on creation of a permanent microfistula in the posterior chamber of the eye and simultaneous replacement of the viscous vitreous body with the isotonic saline. Filtrating vitrectomy was performed in 46 eyes with neovascular diabetic glaucoma. The intraocular pressure was normalized completely without medication in 70 per cent cases in the early postoperative period and in 66 per cent cases in the long term (12-39 months) period.

[Use of low-frequency ultrasound in preoperative care of the conjunctival cavity].

Experimental and clinical studies of the efficacy of preoperative treatment of the conjunctival cavity with low-frequency ultrasound were carried out. Ultrasound parameters employed were as follows: 20-70 kHz frequency, 25-35 microns oscillation amplitude, length of exposure 60-120 sec. Such treatment was found to reduce bacterial contamination of the conjunctival cavity. Clinical studies were carried out on 20 eyes of 14 patients operated on for cataracts and glaucomas at the department for ocular diseases of the Moscow municipal clinical hospital No. 15. Low-frequency ultrasound treatment of the conjunctival cavity was carried out before surgery in all these patients. In the reference patients (n = 15, 15 eyes) the conjunctival cavity was washed with 1:5000 furacilin solution and 30% sodium sulfacil solution or kanamycin solution (10,000 U in 1 ml) on the operation table. The bacterial contamination of the conjunctival cavity prior to surgery in 24 eyes has made up 84.1 bacterial colonies per Petri dish on an average. Preoperative treatment of the conjunctival cavity with low-frequency ultrasound has reduced the bacterial contamination to 6.3 colonies per Petri dish, i.e. by 13.3 times.

[Use of fresh amnion in the treatment of corneal diseases].

The effects of fresh amnion on the course of morbid processes in corneal ulcers and burn disease of the anterior segment of the eye were investigated. The cornea was coated with amnion in 15 eyes with deep bacterial ulcers, in 10 eyes with herpetic ulcers of the cornea, and in 8 eyes with second and third-degree corneal and conjunctival burns. The amnion was obtained in cesarean section and fixed to the limbal conjunctiva with an uninterrupted suture all around. The next day after surgery the pain syndrome reduced, as did photophobia and blepharospasm in all the patients. In the group of patients with bacterial ulcers the cornea epithelialized on days 5-11, in those with herpetic ulcers on days 10-15, and in those with burns on days 8-12 after amnion coating. No cases with suppuration of the burnt surface when coated with the amnion were recorded. The amnion slid off the cornea on days 7-10 after it was layered on.

[Extracellular glycoproteins of the ocular trabecular zone in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma].

The content of fibronectin, an extracellular glycoprotein, in the drainage out-flow system of human eyes was measured by the indirect immunoperoxidase staining technique. The degree of fibronectin accumulation in ocular tissues was evaluated by quantitative morphometric analysis. Fibronectin level in the ocular drainage system of humans grows with ageing and rapidly increases at different stages of primary open-angle glaucoma development. Increased deposit of fibronectin in trabecular tissue, mainly in the inner wall of Schlemm's canal and juxtacanalicular or cribriform part of trabecular meshwork, was demonstrated. A hypothesis explaining the development of the glaucomatous process by an adhesive impairment is proposed.
