The effect of lens depression on resistance to flow through the inner wall of Schlemm's canal, circumferentially along the canal, and through the collector channels was measured in enucleated eyes. In one series of experiments the anterior chamber was perfused while canal pressure was monitored, thus allowing us to estimate inner wall resistance and a combination of canal plus collector-channel resistance. In a second series of experiments the inner canal wall was blocked with oil while the canal was perfused, allowing us to measure both circumferential flow resistance and collector-channel resistance. Lens depression decreased inner canal wall resistance in five of five eyes and decreased circumferential flow plus collector-channel resistance in one of eight eyes. These results suggest that tensing the trabecular mesh increases canal inner wall porosity and opens the canal when it is partially collapsed.

Abnormal base excision repair (BER) pathway and N6-methyladenosine (m6A) of RNA have been proved to be significantly related to age-related cataract (ARC) pathogenesis. However, the relationship between the Nei Endonuclease VIII-Like1 (NEIL1) gene (a representative DNA glycosylase of BER pathway) and its m6A modification remains unclear. Here, we showed that the expression of NEIL1 was decreased in the ARC anterior lens capsules and HO-stimulated SRA01/04 cells.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to use calorimetry to understand the difference in energy transferred by three phacoemulsification surgical platforms to the eye.
Patients And Methods: A phacoemulsification tip was lowered into a double-walled calorimeter filled with distilled water. The foot pedal was depressed for 30 seconds and the change in temperature of the water was measured by a temperature probe.
