Abstract Purpose To assess corneal stiffening of standard (S-CXL) and accelerated (A-CXL) cross-linking protocols by dynamic corneal response parameters and corneal bending stiffness (Kc[mean/linear]) derived from Corvis (CVS) Scheimpflug-based tonometry. These investigations were validated by corneal tensile stiffness (K[ts]), derived from stress-strain extensometry in ex vivo porcine eyes. Methods Seventy-two fresh-enucleated and de-epithelized porcine eyes were soaked in 0.1% riboflavin solution including 10% dextran for 10 min. The eyes were separated into four groups: controls (n = 18), S-CXL (intensity in mW/cm2*time in min; 3*30) (n = 18), A-CXL (9*10) (n = 18), and A-CXL (18*5) (n = 18), respectively. CXL was performed using CCL Vario. CVS measurements were performed on all eyes. Subsequently, corneal strips were extracted by a double-bladed scalpel and used for stress-strain measurements. K[ts] was calculated from a force-displacement curve. Mean corneal stiffness (Kc[mean]) and constant corneal stiffness (Kc[linear]) were calculated from raw CVS data. Results In CVS, biomechanical effects of cross-linking were shown to have a significantly decreased deflection amplitude as well as integrated radius, an increased IOP, and SP A1 (P < 0.05). Kc[mean]/Kc[linear] were significantly increased after CXL (P < 0.05). In the range from 2 to 6% strain, K[ts] was significantly higher in S-CXL (3*30) compared to A-CXL (9*10), A-CXL (18*5), and controls (P < 0.05). At 8% to 10% strain, all protocols induced a higher stiffness than controls (P < 0.05). Conclusion Several CVS parameters and Kc[mean] as well as Kc[linear] verify corneal stiffening effect after CXL on porcine eyes. S-CXL seems to have a higher tendency of stiffening than A-CXL protocols have, which was demonstrated by Scheimpflug-based tonometry and stress-strain extensometry.

The role of sensory afferents in inflammation-induced alterations in myoelectric activity in vivo was investigated in the rabbit small intestine. Isolated ileal loops were implanted with serosal electrodes and exposed to ricin or vehicle after pretreatment with 125 mg/kg of subcutaneous (125 mg over 3 days) or intraluminal (640 microM) capsaicin. After 5 h of myoelectric recording, the loops were prepared for histology and for ex vivo generation of eicosanoids. Capsaicin exacerbated mucosal damage after exposure to ricin but did not alter neutrophil infiltration. Subcutaneous capsaicin alone elevated slow-wave frequency and spike events and transiently suppressed the myoelectric response to ricin. In contrast, intraluminal capsaicin alone did not alter myoelectric activity but produced a sustained inhibition of the response to ricin. Eicosanoid production was unchanged by capsaicin alone. Intraluminal capsaicin blocked increases in leukotriene C4 and prostaglandin E2 during inflammation, an effect that paralleled its inhibition of myoelectric activity. Thus the contribution of sensory afferents to altered motility during acute ileitis involves the release of mucosal inflammatory mediators that influence neural control of smooth muscle.
