RESUMEN

To evaluate the neuroprotective effect of nerve growth factor ( NGF ) on acute angle-closure glaucoma patients after trabeculetomy.METHODS: Patients with viral keratitis who underwent trabeculectomy in treatment of acute angle - closure glaucoma in Xiamen Eye Center of Xiamen University from December 2011 to October 2013 were selected and completed the treatment, 61 eyes of 45 cases were followed up. The treatment group of 23 cases (32 eyes) with acute angle-closure glaucoma patients were treated by NGF gel for 3mo after trabeculetomy, while in the control group 22 cases (29 eyes) were treated by normal saline replaced NGF. All patients were followed up for at least 12mo, visual acuity, perimetry, retinal nerve fiber layer ( RNFL) thickness and cup/disc ratio of the patients were followed up during the treatment. The safety of topical use of NGF gel was also evaluated.RESULTS:ln all patients, the intraocular pressure ( lOP) was successfully controlled under 21mmHg and the visual acuity was markedly increased in the affected eye after trabeculectomy. Compared with control group, the postoperative lOP and visual acuity had no significant differences in treatment group (P>0. 05). The average light sensitivity of perimetry and mean defect were better than that in control group postoperative 6 and 12mo; The results of optical coherent tomography ( OCT ) and Heiderburg Retina Tomography ( HRT )-Ⅲ showed that RNFL thickness was significantly greater than that in control group, while cup/disc ratio significantly less than that in control group postoperative 6 and 12mo. Ocular surface damage, corneal endothelium to reduce and other eye complication were no observed in treatment group.CONCLUSlON:Acute angle-closure glaucoma treated by NGF gel after operation is effective and safe.

RESUMEN

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) could activate chloride channels in bovine ciliary body and trigger an increase in the ionic current (short-circuit current, Isc) across the ciliary processes in pigs. The purpose of this study was to investigate how cAMP modulates Isc in isolated human ciliary processes and the possible involvement of chloride transport across the tissue in cAMP-induced Isc change.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In an Ussing-type chamber system, the Isc changes induced by the cAMP analogue 8-bromo-cAMP and an adenylyl cyclase activator forskolin in isolated human ciliary processes were assessed. The involvement of Cl(-) component in the bath solution was investigated. The effect of Cl(-) channel (10 µmol/L niflumic acid and 1 mmol/L 4,4'-diisothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid (DIDS)), K(+) channel (10 mmol/L tetraethylammonium chloride (TEA)), or Na(+) channel blockers (1 mmol/L amiloride) on 8-bromo-cAMP-induced Isc change was also studied.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Dose-dependently, 8-bromo-cAMP (10 nmol/L-30 µmol/L) or forskolin (10 nmol/L-3 µmol/L) increased Isc across the ciliary processes with an increase in negative potential difference on the non-pigmented epithelium (NPE) side of the tissue. Isc increase induced by 8-bromo-cAMP was more pronounced when the drug was applied on the NPE side than on the pigmented epithelium side. When the tissue was bathed in low Cl(-) solutions, the Isc increase was significantly inhibited. Finally, niflumic acid and DIDS, but not TEA or amiloride, significantly prevented the Isc increase induced by 8-bromo-cAMP.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>cAMP stimulates stroma-to-aqueous anionic transport in isolated human ciliary processes. Chloride is likely to be among the ions, the transportation of which across the tissue is triggered by cAMP, suggesting the potential role of cAMP in the process of aqueous humor formation in human eyes.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The role played by the nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway in the aqueous humor dynamics is still unclear. This study was designed to investigate the expression and distribution of NO synthase (NOS) isoforms and guanylate cyclase (GC) in human ciliary body, trabecular meshwork and the Schlemm's canal.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twelve eyes after corneal transplantation were used. Expression of three NOS isoforms (i.e. neuronal NOS (nNOS), inducible NOS (iNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS)) and GC were assessed in 10 eyes by immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal or polyclonal antibody of NOS and GC. Ciliary bodies were dissected free and the total proteins were extracted. Western blotting was performed to confirm the protein expression of 3 NOS isoforms and GC.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Expression of 3 NOS isoforms and GC were observed in the ciliary epithelium, ciliary muscle, trabecular meshwork and the endothelium of the Schlemm's canal. Immunoreactivity of nNOS was detected mainly along the apical cytoplasmic junction of the non-pigmented epithelium (NPE) and pigmented epithelial (PE) cells. Protein expressions of 3 NOS isoforms and GC were confirmed in isolated human ciliary body by Western blotting.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The expression of NOS isoforms and GC in human ciliary body suggest the possible involvement of NO and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP, cGMP) signaling pathway in the ciliary body, and may play a role in both processes of aqueous humor formation and drainage.</p>

RESUMEN

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the therapeutic effect of laser photocoagulation of ciliary processes after pars plana vitrectomy in aphakic glaucoma.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Twenty patients (20 eyes) of aphakic glaucoma underwent vitrectomy plus laser treatment. During the surgery, after conventional 3-incision pars plana vitrectomy, a probe of semi-conductor diode laser (532 nm) was inserted through the sclera incision, the ciliary processes were then photocoagulated under direct visualization for 180 degree range. Before and after the surgery, the visual acuity, the intraocular pressure (IOP) as well as the outer appearance of the anterior segment were evaluated. The mean follow-up period was 13 months.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The IOP at the last visit was (21.35 +/-2.52) mmHg, which was significantly lower than that before the surgery [(39.75 +/-6.27) mmHg, P=0.000]. Atrophy of the ciliary processes was observed 1-3 months after the surgery.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Pars plana vitrectomy combined with laser coagulation of ciliary processes reduces the IOP in patients with aphakic glaucoma effectively.</p>
