Iris Fixation via External Pentagram Suturing

2022
The present protocol describes how a 10-0 polypropylene suture crosses the anterior surface of the iris, forming a pentagram to prevent both iris and pupil from moving toward the cornea. This can be combined with subsequent keratoplasty to cure bullous keratopathy with extensive anterior synechia of the iris.

In newt, the lens regenerates always from the dorsal iris by transdifferentiation of the iris pigmented epithelial cells (IPEs). Here we describe a procedure to culture dorsal and ventral newt IPE cells and their implantation to the newt eye. The implanted cells are then studied by tissue sectioning and immunohistochemistry.

Quantitative, high-throughput, real-time, and label-free biomolecular detection (DNA, protein, etc.) on SiO2 surfaces can be achieved using a simple interferometric technique which relies on LED illumination, minimal optical components, and a camera. The Interferometric Reflectance Imaging Sensor (IRIS) is inexpensive, simple to use, and amenable to microarray formats.

To minimize the technical difficulty and improve the safety of peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), we describe a protocol for using a scissor-type knife for the main steps of POEM, including mucosal incision, submucosal tunneling, myotomy, and hemostasis.
FAQs
Control comes from the short, fine blades opening and closing in response to finger or handle pressure. This arrangement lets the user regulate cutting action rather than relying on broad blade movement, which is valuable when working with thin tissues, membranes, sutures, or other small biological materials under magnification.
Sharpness and accurate alignment help produce clean cuts while limiting unnecessary tissue disruption. They also support more consistent handling from one specimen or cutting task to another, making the instrument useful when researchers need precise and reproducible results during biological dissection or microsurgical work.
The compact design helps the instrument reach structures located in confined areas, where larger cutting tools may be difficult to maneuver. Short blades and a small overall form allow researchers to work more selectively around fragile structures, especially when magnification is used to guide access and reduce unintended contact.
A basic workflow is to examine and position the biological material under magnification, bring the fine blades to the intended cutting location, and apply controlled finger or handle pressure to open and close them. The same approach can be adapted for cutting thin tissues, membranes, sutures, or other small materials during specimen preparation.
These scissors support specimen preparation, tissue isolation, and manipulation of fragile structures in biology laboratories. Their precision is also relevant to ophthalmic research and to anatomy and cell biology studies, where researchers may need to separate or prepare small biological structures without introducing avoidable disruption during handling.
Using the scissors under magnification can help researchers target small structures more accurately and make controlled, clean cuts. This can improve the quality of prepared specimens, support tissue isolation, and promote reproducible handling in studies that examine anatomy, cells, fragile tissues, or other delicate biological materials.
