The ciliary epithelium is induced by the lens from the rim of the optic cup and probably reciprocates by determining the position of the germinative zone of the lens. The ciliary epithelium is also likely to induce the differentiation of the ciliary muscle and stroma from the surrounding neural crest-derived mesenchyme. Intraocular pressure plays a major role in co-ordinating the growth and morphogenesis of many ocular tissues, including the ciliary body. A central question addressed in this review is whether this pressure is generated by the early activity of the ciliary epithelium or by the growth and osmotic activity of the vitreous body.</p>","PeriodicalId":76757,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the ophthalmological societies of the United Kingdom","volume":"105 ( Pt 2) ","pages":"123-30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14664112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathology of 87 cases was available for re-examination. Data on those patients still alive were examined together with the post-mortem reports of those deceased. A mathematical model was constructed to assess tumour volume more accurately. Survival was analysed using univariate and multivariate methods. Actuarial survival curves were constructed and two multivariate regression models were used--the proportional hazards model and the log-logistic model. In addition person years at risk analysis was used to compare survival with the Northern Ireland population. When the data were examined univariately, the location of the tumour, cell type, degree of invasion and the parameters of size (height, diameter and volume) were all significant prognostic indicators. When multivariate analysis was employed, the degree of invasion did not contribute significantly to the model, this being accommodated by tumour size. Cell type was also shown to be of less importance in the multivariate models.
