Pseudoexfoliative disease: histochemical evidence of an affinity with zonular fibres.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The histochemical staining properties of the abnormal material deposited in the anterior segment of the eye in the pseudoexfoliation syndrome and the zonular ligaments of the lens are essentially the same. Both present the staining characteristics of oxytalan, the microfibrillar component of elastic tissue. Reasons are advanced for regarding the pseudoexfoliative material as a product of the ciliary and lenticular epithelium.

The pa tte rn of innervation in the frog’s heart shown by silver staining has been compared w ith the results of histochemical methods. The muscle innervation is a series of dense n e t works of nerve bundles. These have been divided into four groups according to their size and distribution. The silver m ethods show fewer fibres than the histochemical methods bu t all the methods show the same...
متن کاملPseudoexfoliation and Cataract Surgery
Pseudoexfoliation syndrome is characterised by the production and progressive accumulation of fibrillar extracellular material within different ocular tissues, and its incidence varies considerably according to geographical location. Cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliative patients is associated with a higher rate of complications, which are more common the more advanced the cataract. For this re...

BACKGROUND Morphological and electrophysiological studies of ischemic muscles in peripheral arterial disease disclosed evidence of denervation and fibre atrophy. The purpose of the present study is to describe morphological changes in ischemic muscles before and after reperfusion surgery in patients with peripheral occlusive arterial disease, and to provide an insight into the effect of reperfu...
