ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changes in corneal astigmatism after trabeculectomy using removable suture and the duration of postoperative diopter stabilization.Methods From June 2014 to July 2016,70 primary glaucoma patients (70 eyes) were enrolled and divided into two groups,including experimental group 40 patients (40 eyes) with trabeculectomy using removable suture and control group 30 patients (30 eyes) with trabeculectomy alone.Then,several variables of corneal topography,corneal curvature,diopter and intraocular pressure were recorded and analyzed before operation and 1 week (before removal of the suture),1 month and 3 months after surgery.Results In the two groups,postoperative diopter and intraocular pressure at each time point approached significant difference (all P ＜ 0.01).There was significant difference in comparison of corneal astigmatism 1 week after surgery (3.80 ± 1.31) D and preoperative corneal astigmatism (1.48 ± 0.79) D in experimental group,and this was true of the control group for corneal astigmatism 1 week after surgery [(1.42 ± 0.32)] and preoperative data (1.12 ± 0.36) D (all P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,corneal astigmatism 1 month and 3 months after surgery in the experimental group was (1.50 ± 0.71) D and (1.36 ± 0.61) D,and this data in the control group was (1.24 ± 0.31) D and (1.09 ±0.34)D respectively,and their differences was not statistically significant compared with the control group (all P ＞ 0.05).There was significant difference in the corneal astigmatism 1 week after operation (P ＜ 0.01),while there was no significant difference in this variable 1 month and 3 months after operation between the two groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Although the corneal astigmatism 1 month after operation was enhanced compared with 3 months after operation,but the difference was not statistically significant (all P ＞ 0.05).In addition,the number of with-the-rule astigmatism in the experimental group and the control group were 33 eyes and 22 eyes respectively (P =0.36).Conclusion The corneal astigmatism caused by trabeculectomy using removable suture was significantly enhanced in the early period,but it decrease easily in 1 month after removing the suture,with keeping stable in 3 months and getting with-the-rule astigmatism 3 months after surgery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of different concentrations of ALLN on proliferation and apoptosis of C2C12 myoblasts.Methods After intervention with Ca2+ and ALLN,methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium and flow cytometry were used to determine the effect of Ca2+ and ALLN on the proliferation and apoptosis of C2C12 cells,respectively.The morphological changes of C2C12 myoblasts were observed using Giemsa staining.Results The absorbance of Ca2 + group was significantly lower than that of the control group (P ＜0.05).After 6,12,24,36 hours of intervention,the absorbance in ALLN groups 1 to 7 (cultured in serum-free media containing 16 mmol/L Ca2+ and ALLN at final concentrations of 3.125,6.25,12.5,25,50,100,200 μmol/L) were all significantly higher than that in the 16 mmol/L Ca2+ group (after 6 hours:0.449±0.024,0.472±0.022,0.513 ±0.008,0.540±0.014,0.588±0.016,0.607±0.030,0.700±0.020 vs.0.355 ±0.012,all P =0.000; after 12 hours:0.407 ±0.007,0.414 ±0.006,0.434 ±0.004,0.441 ±0.003,0.460 ±0.010,0.484 ± 0.006,0.525 ± 0.006 vs.0.368 ± 0.027,all P =0.000; after 24 hours:0.436±0.005,0.431 ±0.015,0.441 ±0.006,0.459 ±0.013,0.527 ±0.009,0.581 ±0.005,0.599 ±0.011 vs.0.386 ± 0.007,all P =0.000 ; after 36 hours:0.464 ± 0.022,0.460 ± 0.018,0.461 ± 0.007,0.434 ± 0.020,0.454 ± 0.028,0.479 ± 0.006,0.524 ± 0.011 vs.0.379 ± 0.011,all P =0.000),while no significant differences were observed after 48-72 hours of intervention.After treatment for 36 hours,the apoptosis rate in ALLN 10,50,100,and 200 μmol/L groups were (6.00 ± 1.20) ％,(5.02 ± 1.13) ％,(4.89±1.11)％,and (2.71 ± 1.15)％,all significantly lower than that in the Ca2+ group [(13.70 ±2.30)％] (all P =0.000).Giemsa staining showed apoptotic morphological changes in the Ca2+ group,which were obviously alleviated in the ALLN group.Conclusions Ca2+ at a concentration of 16mmol/L can induce apoptosis of C2C12 cells.In contrast,ALLN can inhibit cell apoptosis and promote proliferation in a time-and dose-dependent manner.
