| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We tried to create a feline glaucoma model at first, but we could not create it. So, we created retinal vein occlusion (RVO) model and performed an experiment.
We revealed that dynamic changes in arterial and venous retinal blood flow after RVO, and eventually decreasing blood flow in arteries and veins. Moreover, we showed that the collateral vessels were formed by dilation of originally existing capillaries. This feline RVO model may lead to further elucidation of the pathogenesis of RVO.

これまでの網膜静脈閉塞症のモデル動物は急性期の実験が全てである。今回は静脈閉塞の発症から経時的に網膜動静脈を観察することができた。今回のモデル動物は、今後の網膜静脈閉塞症の病態解明に役立つ可能性がある。
