Changes in cholinergic amacrine cells after rodent anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (rAION).
PURPOSE Displaced cholinergic amacrine cell neurons comprise a significant fraction of the retinal ganglion cell (RGC) layer. Rodent anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (rAION) is an optic nerve infarct, which results in RGC loss in mice. The goal was to determine whether rAION produces changes in amacrine cell neurons. METHODS rAION was generated in transgenic mice carrying a cyan fluorescent...
متن کاملThe efficacy of optic nerve sheath decompression for anterior ischemic optic neuropathy and other optic neuropathies.
First proposed by De Wecker! in 1872 as a treatment for neuroretinitis, optic nerve sheath decompression (or fenestration) is an operation that has caused much controversy. This surgical therapy was not seriously considered until Davidson" and Smith, Hoyt, and Newton" reintroduced it in 1969 as an alternative therapy for chronic disk edema. Over the next 19 years, however, only about 60 cases o...
متن کاملDendrimers Target the Ischemic Lesion in Rodent and Primate Models of Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy.
INTRODUCTION Polyamidoamine dendrimer nanoparticles (~ 4 nanometers) are inert polymers that can be linked to biologically active compounds. These dendrimers selectively target and accumulate in inflammatory cells upon systemic administration. Dendrimer-linked compounds enable sustained release of therapeutic compounds directly at the site of damage. The purpose of this study was to determine i...
متن کاملtransvitreal optic neurotomy for non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
purpose: to evaluate the role of transvitreal optic neurotomy (ton) in the management of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neurotomy (naion). methods: sixteen eyes of 16 patients with recent onset naion (less than six weeks duration) were included in this single-masked randomized controlled trial. the patients were randomized to ton (8 eyes) versus observation alone (8 eyes). pre- and posto...
متن کاملObstructive sleep apnea syndrome and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy: a case control study
Background: Sleep apnea is temporary cessation or absence of breathing during sleep. Significant increase in blood pressure is clinically seen in apneic episodes. The aim of this study was to examine sleep apnea syndrome as a risk factor for non- arthritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) in a case control study. Methods: Nineteen NAION patients (9 men and 10 women) and 31 age and ...
