Retinal dystrophy in 2 brothers with α-Mannosidosis.
OU, a failed corneal graft with corneal thinning and an epithelial defect in the right eye, and severe corneal thinning with a corneal perforation in the left eye. The corneal perforation in the left eye was managed with cyanoacrylate glue and a bandage contact lens. The patient was malnourished because of her social situation and psychiatric deterioration, with a vitamin A level of 5 μg/dL. Af...
متن کاملOptic Nerve Degeneration and Ageing
Major pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer Disease are insoluble deposits of the short amyloid β-peptide (β-amyloid, Aβ), which is derived by sequential proteolytic cleavage from a large type I trans-membrane protein, the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP). APP is anterogradely transported by fast axonal transport in a distinct transport vesicle, but both the biochemical composition of such a ves...
متن کاملTenascins in Retinal and Optic Nerve Neurodegeneration
Tenascins represent key constituents of the extracellular matrix (ECM) with major impact on central nervous system (CNS) development. In this regard, several studies indicate that they play a crucial role in axonal growth and guidance, synaptogenesis and boundary formation. These functions are not only important during development, but also for regeneration under several pathological conditions...
متن کاملDescending optic nerve degeneration in primates.
We cut the optic nerve at the orbital apex in squirrel monkeys to study the descending degeneration of optic nerve axons and their ganglion cell bodies. We could not detect progressive disintegration of the axon from the site of injury back to the cell body. Instead, the entire length of individual axons seemed to degenerate simultaneously as early as 3 weeks and as late as 6 weeks after injury...
متن کاملRetinal and optic nerve degeneration after chronic carotid ligation: time course and role of light exposure.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid artery disease can cause chronic retinal ischemia, resulting in transient or permanent blindness, pupillary reflex dysfunction, and retinal degeneration. This experiment investigated the effects of chronic retinal ischemia in an animal model involving permanent carotid occlusion. The time course of retinal pathology and the role of light in this pathology were exa...
