Cytokine profiles of phakic and pseudophakic eyes with primary retinal detachment.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:To compare the cytokine profiles of phakic (p) and pseudophakic (ps) eyes with primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RD) to eyes with macular holes (MH) and to identify differences in the specific cytokine profiles. METHODS:Aqueous humour (AH) and vitreous fluid (VF) were obtained from patients with primary RD without proliferative vitreoretinopathy undergoing vitrectomy. AH and VF of patients with macular holes (MH) served as controls. Forty-three different cytokines were quantified using multiplex cytokine analysis. Intergroup and intragroup comparisons were performed. To control for multiple comparisons, Holm's correction was applied. RESULTS:VF and AH samples of 71 eyes with RD (pRD N = 38; psRD N = 33) and 26 eyes with MH were included. Cytokine levels in psRD and pRD were similar (none with >10-fold difference). The levels of 39 of 43 cytokines in the VF were significantly higher in eyes with RD than in those with MH (>10-fold: CXLC5, CCL26, CCL1, IL-6, CXCL11, CCL7, CCL13, MIG/CXCL9, CCL19 and TGF-?1). In the AH, 23 of 43 cytokines were significantly higher compared to MH (>10-fold: CXCL5, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8/CXCL8 and CCL7). CONCLUSION:A complex, but nonspecific cytokine environmental response seems to initiate immunological and profibrotic processes following RD. Relevant differences in the cytokine profiles of eyes with pRD and psRD were not identified, whereas cytokine differences between AH and VF in RD could be explained by upregulation in the vitreous, a higher turn around in the anterior chamber, or differences in inflammatory cascades in both compartments.

Project description:PurposeTo evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of foldable capsular vitreous body (FCVB) implantation for severe retinal detachment.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 26 patients with severe ocular trauma and one with recurrent retinal detachment. Clinical data-including surgery success, complications, retinal reattachment, vision, and intraocular pressure (IOP)-were analyzed for patients who underwent 23G pars plana vitrectomy and FCVB implantation combined with silicone oil tamponade.ResultsThe mean follow-up period was 10.44 ± 2.68 months. All surgeries were smooth; the FCVBs were properly positioned and supported the retina well, and the retinal reattachment rate reached 92.59%. At the six-month follow-up, preoperative (1.30 ± 1.20) and postoperative (0.63 ± 0.79) vision was significantly different (t = 3.03, P = 0.005), and the postoperative IOP (7.93 ± 3.57 mm Hg) was lower than the preoperative IOP (13.98 ± 10.72 mm Hg) (t = 2.74, P = 0.01). Among 20 patients followed up for >12 months, preoperative (1.20 ± 0.95) and postoperative (0.75 ± 0.91) visions were significantly different (t = 1.831, P = 0.005), and the postoperative IOP (9.85 ± 6.48 mm Hg) was lower than the preoperative IOP (14.85 ± 12.17 mm Hg) (t = 1.82, P = 0.01). No endophthalmitis, sympathetic ophthalmia, and rejection of FCVB occurred during follow-up.ConclusionsFCVB combined with silicone oil tamponade showed good efficacy and safety in severe retinal detachment treatment during the follow-up period.Translational relevanceVitreous substitution is deemed a highly challenging and interesting research topic in ophthalmology. Traditional method such as silicone oil tamponade often causes various complications such as silicone oil emulsification, silicone oil migration, and corneal degeneration. The foldable capsular vitreous body as a novel vitreous substitute combined silicone oil injection into it can stay in the eyeball for a long time without obvious complications.

Project description:BackgroundTo investigate the surgical complications of scleral buckling (SB) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) performed on primary rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and to discover which surgical procedures bring fewer complications.MethodsAn electronic literature search using the PubMed database, ISI Web of Knowledge and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials to identify randomized controlled trials and observational studies comparing SB with PPV on primary RRD. Outcome measures included intra-operative complications and early and late post-operative complications.ResultsDuring the operation, significantly less subretinal hemorrhage occurred in the PPV group than in the SB group (OR = 4.71; 95%CI, 1.33-16.64; p = 0.02) and the hypotony incidence was significantly higher in the SB group (OR = 18.24; 95%CI, 2.37-140.44; p = 0.005); however, the occurrence of iatrogenic breaks was significantly lower in the SB group (OR = 0.05; 95%CI, 0.01-0.21; p<0.0001). In the early stage of post-operation, significantly higher incidence of choroidal detachment was identified in the SB group than in the PPV group (OR = 10.19; 95%CI, 2.36-44.09; p = 0.002); patients undergoing SB had significantly higher odds of residual subretinal fluid (OR = 14.71; 95%CI, 1.84-117.32; p = 0.01); the occurrence of high intraocular pressure was significantly lower in the SB group (OR = 0.46; 95%CI, 0.23-0.89; p = 0.02); and no significant difference was shown in the incidence of epithelia defect (p = 0.37) between the two groups. In the late stage of post-operation, the incidence of diplopia/extraocular muscle dysfunction was significantly higher in the SB group (OR = 4.04; 95%CI, 1.30-12.52; p = 0.02); and significantly less cataract was observed in the SB group (OR = 0.20; 95%CI, 0.14-0.30; p<0.00001); no significant difference was found in the incidences of cystoid macular edema (p = 0.65), macular pucker (p = 0.52), post-operative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (p = 0.73) and epiretinal membrane (p = 0.47) in other late post-operative complications.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis suggests that PPV could be considered as potential surgical management on primary RRD.

Project description:PurposeTo compare the utilization rate and usage patterns of pseudophakic and phakic donor corneas recovered by the Singapore Eye Bank.MethodsRecords of local donor corneas recovered by the Singapore Eye Bank from 2012 to 2017 were examined. Corneas that were deemed suitable for clinical use were stratified into phakic and pseudophakic groups. We examined the basic demographic pattern of both groups and the initial type of surgery/ies that the corneas were suitable for based on tissue parameters such as time from harvesting, stromal clarity, the clear central corneal area, the presence of Descemet's membrane tears or defects, and endothelial cell density and quality. We also identified the types of corneal grafts that the corneas were eventually used for; Penetrating Keratoplasty (PK), Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty (ALK), Endothelial Keratoplasty (EK). Finally, the overall utilization rates for each group were determined.ResultsA total of 986 corneas deemed suitable for transplant were analyzed, 908 (92%) were phakic and 78 were pseudophakic (8%). The average age of pseudophakic donor corneas was (65 ± 8 yrs. old) and there was a slight male preponderance for both groups (55%). Age adjusted analysis of pseudophakic corneas showed the endothelial cell density (ECD) (mean: 2327 ± 47.1 cells/mm2) and clear area (mean: 7.0 ± 0.7 mm) were lesser than phakic corneas. The percentage of pseudophakic corneas that were of EK standard (ECD >2500 cells/mm2) were lower compared to phakic corneas (37% and 77% respectively, p < 0.001). There was significant correlation between previous cataract surgery and the endothelial cell count of the donor corneas (p < 0.001), and regression analysis also showed a strong association of ECD with cataract surgery in reference to non-cataract surgery (-478.8 (95% CI-576.9 to -380.7). The overall utilization rate for pseudophakic corneas was 58% compared to that of phakic corneas at 83%. The most common reason for pseudophakic corneas not to be utilized was due to the presence of Descemet's membrane (DM) tears or defects under the main or side port incision created during phacoemulsification (30%). Phakic corneas were used primarily for optical grafts 84% (mainly EK) while pseudophakic corneas were used mostly for therapeutic/tectonic grafts 47% (mainly ALK or patch grafts).ConclusionCompared to phakic donor corneas, pseudophakic corneas generally have lower overall tissue quality leading to lower uptake by surgeons and lower utilization rates. Eye banks must continuously refine their donor acceptance criteria and engage surgeons to optimize utilization of each recovered tissue.
