It is well known that epithelial hyperplasia (benign hypertrophy) is common in the aging prostate of dogs and man. In contrast, little evidence is available for abnormal epithelial cell growth in seminal vesicles of aging animals. Recently, enlarged seminal vesicles were reported in senescent mice, however, that enlargement resulted from increased storage of secretion in the lumen and occurred concomitant to epithelial hypoplasia in that species.The present study is concerned with electron microscopic observations of changes occurring in the pseudostratified epithelium of the seminal vescles of aging rats. Special attention is given to certain non-epithelial cells which have entered the epithelial layer.

Electron holography is a two-step imaging method. However, the ultimate performance of holographic imaging is mainly determined by the brightness of the electron beam used in the hologram-formation process. In our 350kV holography electron microscope (see Fig. 1), the decrease in the inherently high brightness of field-emitted electrons is minimized by superposing a magnetic lens in the gun, for a resulting value of 2 × 109 A/cm2 sr. This high brightness has lead to the following distinguished features. The minimum spacing (d) of carrier fringes is d = 0.09 Å, thus allowing a reconstructed image with a resolution, at least in principle, as high as 3d=0.3 Å. The precision in phase measurement can be as high as 2π/100, since the position of fringes can be known precisely from a high-contrast hologram formed under highly collimated illumination. Dynamic observation becomes possible because the current density is high.

Purpose. To evaluate the effectiveness of surgical resection of the sclera in patients with primary open-angle and secondary glaucoma. Materials and methods. The study included 84 patients with POAG and SG stages III-IV and decompensated IOP level (not higher than 32 mm Hg). In order to normalize the increased ophthalmotonus, a non - penetrating operation was performed-surgical resection of the sclera (SRS). The patients underwent complex ophthalmological examination and dynamic observation. Result. In the studied groups of patients after surgical treatment there was a decrease in elevated IOP levels by 33.42%, an improvement in the coefficient of ease of outflow and a weakening of the hypotensive regime. Stabilization of visual functions was observed in all patients. Summary. The proposed new SRS technique provides a smooth decrease in IOP, preservation of visual functions and is not accompanied by intra-and postoperative complications. Key words: primary open-angle glaucoma, surgical resection of sclera, secondary glaucoma, uveoscleral outflow pathway (USPO), intraocular pressure, EO coefficient .
