The flow of aqueous humor through micro-porous filters.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Flow resistance was measured as bovine and primate aqueous humor was passed through Nuclepore polycarbonate filters having flow dimensions similar to those found within the juxtacanalicular meshwork of the aqueous outflow network. The results indicate that aqueous humor has a greater flow resistance than isotonic saline; this greater resistance is attributable to proteins or glycoproteins in aqueous humor that obstruct the filters. If the same phenomenon is operative in the aqueous outflow network, it would help to explain discrepancies between calculated and measured aqueous outflow resistance.

Further studies on the flow of aqueous humor through microporous filters.
It has recently been shown that aqueous humor is able to obstruct flow through Nuclepore polycarbonate filters having flow dimensions similar to those found in the juxtacanalicular tissue (JCT). We undertook studies designed to identify the component(s) of aqueous humor responsible for this obstruction and to determine the mechanism of blockage. We conclude that aqueous humor contains two compo...
متن کاملHydraulic pressure stimulates adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate accumulation in endothelial cells from Schlemm's canal.
PURPOSE Fluid flow across various endothelia results in a variety of intracellular and extracellular adaptations. In the living eye, aqueous humor flows across the surface of endothelial cells on trabecular meshwork (TM) beams and in the juxtacanalicular tissue and through or between a continuous monolayer of endothelial cells that line Schlemm's canal (SC). This study was undertaken to test th...
متن کاملModulation of outflow resistance by the pores of the inner wall endothelium.
The juxtacanalicular connective tissue (JCT) is widely believed to generate the bulk of aqueous humor outflow resistance, while the pores of the inner wall endothelium are thought to generate at most 10% of this resistance in humans. However, the hydrodynamic interaction of these two components of the aqueous outflow system, which arises because of their spatial proximity, has only recently bee...
متن کاملThe convection flow of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber of human eye
A simple mathematical model for the buoyancy-driven flow of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber arising from the temperature difference between the anterior surface of the cornea and the iris is developed. The model is formulated using the lubrication theory limit of the Navier-Stokes equations and classical Boussinesq model of the fluid density for thermal driven convection flow. The model t...
متن کاملSlip flow in porous micro-tubes under local thermal non-equilibrium conditions
In the present work, forced convection heat transfer of slip flow in porous micro-tubes with local thermal non-equilibrium between the gas and the solid matrix is investigated numerically. For this purpose, the flow is considered hydrodynamically developed but thermally developing. The Darcy-Brinkman-Forchheimer model in conjunction with separate energy equations for the gas and the solid matri...
