An Experimental Study on Homoharringtonine Liposome and Glaucoma Filtration Surgery

Purpose: To observe the inhibitory action of homoharringtonine liposome during the healing process of wounds in the filtering sitesMethods: posterior sclerectomies were performed in 14 rabbits. Postoperatively one eye of each rabbit received subconjunctival injections of HH liposome and fellow eye received saline injection in a randomized masked fashion.Results; Fourteen days after operation the IOP of experimental eyes reduced significantly (P < 0.01) as compared with the controlled eyes, and the number of remaining filtering blebs increased noticeably (P< 0.05). Pathohistological examination revealed that the number of fibroblasts per square micron in the filtering sites and the thickness of the scars in the center of the filtering sites of the experimental eyes were less than those of the controlled eyes. No serious ocular toxic and side effects were found.Conclusion : This experiment suggests that homoharringtonine liposome can markedly inhibit the scar formation of filtering sites after glaucoma fi

Genetic markers in primary open-angle glaucoma

Purpose: To investigate possible associations between genetic markers and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma (POAG). Methods: A number of genetic markers were typed in 84 unrelated patients with POAG and compared with a random sample of healthy individuals. The markers were Transferrin, Group Specific Component, G1m (1), G1m (2) and G3m (5) Allotypes, Adenylate Kinase, Adenosin Deaminase, Glyoxalase I and Acid Phosphatase and PCR-based markers HLA-DQA1 and D1S80. Results: No significant differences were found except the strong association between the group of POAG patients and Acid Phosphatase ACP^*C allele (² = 32.86; p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Since Acid Phosphatase gene is localized to chromosome 2p23, this result could be a first comprehensive step in the localization of POAG genes.     

Semiconductor diode laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation versus filtering surgery with Mitomycin-C

Both filtering surgery with Mitomycin-C and diode laser cyclophotocoagulation have proved to be effective alternatives in cases of glaucoma with poor surgical prognosis. The right eyes of 40 pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups: Mitomycin-C group underwent filtering surgery with application of 0.4 mg/ml of Mitomycin-C whereas the diode laser (DL) group received 15 applications of 1.8 J (1800 mW. 1000 ms) distributed in 270°. Mean IOP showed statistical differences in two periods between days 3–13 and 45–60 — Mann-Whitney U test — with a higher IOP lowering in the DL group. The comparison of IOP survival curves (Log-Rank test) was not significant p = 0.070809. Ocular hypertension, hyphema and inflammatory signs were higher in the DL group, both in short and long term, but in terms of statistical significance only ocular hypertension showed differences p = 0.00011717 - Fisher exact test. Microscopic examination revealed patent sclerostomies in 60% of the MMC group eyes with different grades of fibroblastic proliferation. In the DL group we observed necrosis of the sclieral stroma and of the pigmented and unpigmented ciliary epithelium, with signs of thermal coagulation of the ciliary stroma and of the stromal vasculature. We must point out that the treatment with laser has proved to be more effective although both treatments showed very acceptable IOP lowering until 2 months after the surgery.     

Epidemiological aids to clinical decision making in primary open angle glaucoma

We have described the epidemiological analysis of one aspect of the King's College Hospital computerised data base; namely initial intraocular pressure as an indicator of visual field loss. The methods involved the use of the four-fold table to determine sensitivity and specificity at different pressure levels. From these results (1) the changes in the pre and post test probability of field loss are calculated and (2) a sensitivity/specificity trade off curve or decision curve is constructed. In this way the optimal cut-off level or operating point for a population of specific type and composition can be determined. The factors concerned in decision making are always complex but such an approach allows a rational and quantifiable alternative to reliance on clinical impression and intuition. The results have significance in relation to decisions on the management of patients and on population screening programmes for glaucoma.     

Analysis of orthograde fast axonal transport and nonaxonal transport along the optic pathway of albino rabbits during increased and decreased intraocular pressure

Orthograde fast axonal and nonaxonal transport through the optic disc was studied quantitatively and autoradiographically in albino rabbits during elevated (30 or 50 mmHg), normal (13–15 mmHg) and decreased (0–4 mmHg) intraocular pressure (IOP). In cases of intraocular hypertension up to 50 mmHg, autoradiographic findings of a disturbed orthograde fast axonal transport were seen in the optic disc within 3 hr. The blockage was relatively mild and uniform, and was distributed adjacent to the extension line of sclera. Despite this histological evidence of blockage, a quantitative analysis showed no statistically significant decrease in axonally transferred radioactivity within 3 hr. Decrease in the transferred material was evident at 6 hr, and the extent of decrease was mild (ca. 20% at the most prominent portion). In cases of moderate intraocular hypertension (30 mmHg) for 6 hr, a quantitative analysis showed no decrease in axonal transport. After 3–6 hr of intraocular hypotension (0–4 mmHg), papilledema did not develop and autoradiographically there was no accumulatjon of axonal components. Axonally transferred material remained quantitatively at the same level as in the control animals. Nonaxonal transport along the optic nerve was doubly enhanced in cases of intraocular hypertension up to 50 mmHg, and was reduced to one thrid at level of 0–4 mmHg. Filtration of intraocular fluid through the optic disc appears to be the largest component of the nonoxonal transport.
