To elucidate the pathogenic mechanism of polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) based on histopathologic findings.Specimens obtained by surgical excision PCV from five eyes patients (mean age, 75.6 +/- 3.1 years) were studied histopathologically. Immunohistochemical studies also performed to identify CD34, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD68, alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) and hypoxia-inducible (HIF)-1alpha.Hyalinization vessels massive exudation fibrin blood plasma...
This study compared the postoperative outcomes of 27-gauge (G) and 25-G vitrectomy performed for treatment idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM). The design was single center, retrospective, interventional case series. Two hundred consecutive eyes that underwent primary ERM (27-G in 100 eyes) were studied 6 months. In all eyes, scleral tunnels made using angle incisions, air or gas exchange performed. There no significant differences age, spherical diopter power, as well preoperative Early...
To determine the size of foveal avascular zone (FAZ) by optical coherence tomography angiography before and after idiopathic epiretinal membrane surgery.Thirteen consecutive patients (13 eyes) with unilateral were studied retrospectively. Optical was used to measure FAZ area within 3 mm × scans superficial (superficial FAZ) deep plexus layers (deep 6 months vitrectomy. The unaffected fellow eyes as controls.The mean areas at vitrectomy (0.080 ± 0.038 0.113 0.045 mm, respectively)...
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentrations in various regions of the vitreous were examined patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) to explore possibility a concentration gradient vitreous.Vitreous samples collected during vitrectomy from 71 eyes DME and without posterior detachment who had not undergone panretinal photocoagulation. Vitreous premacular mid-vitreous (group A, 35 eyes), peripheral cortical B, 36 eyes). Mean foveal thickness was measured by optical coherence...
In Brief Purpose: To investigate the bactericidal effect of 0.025% povidone–iodine in Balanced Salt Solution PLUS (0.025% PI–BSS PLUS) and its use vitrectomy for postoperative endophthalmitis. Methods: First, an experimental laboratory model using Staphylococcus aureus was used to evaluate PLUS. Next, a case series 4 eyes with endophthalmitis, as irrigation solution conducted, followed by intravitreal intravenous antibiotics. Results: vitro study, PI at concentrations 0.01% above BSS...
To verify that ocular surface irrigation with 0.025% povidone-iodine (PI) or 0.0025% polyvinyl alcohol-iodine (PAI) during cataract surgery minimizes bacterial contamination of the anterior chamber.The study was a prospective, interventional case series. First, bactericidal effect PI PAI against Staphylococcus aureus evaluated in vitro. Next, 400 eyes undergoing surgery, irrigated every 20 seconds balanced salt solution (BSS; 200 eyes) BSS containing (100 eyes). At completion chamber fluid...
In Brief Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect lower than usual doses intravitreal bevacizumab (Avastin) on vitreous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration and intraoperative bleeding when used as preoperative adjunct therapy in patients undergoing vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Methods: Fifty-two eyes (52 patients) with indications were studied; 12 received bevacizumab, 40 did not. group given a single injection (0.16–1.25 mg) 3...
Subretinal fibrosis has been recognized as a feature of an advanced stage exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that leads to irreversible loss vision. This study was aimed at elucidating roles interlukin-6 (IL-6) in the development subretinal fibrosis. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) performed with anti-human IL-6 antibody surgically excised choroidal neovascular tissues from patients AMD. The area measured mouse model injection control small interfering RNA(siRNA) or siRNA, isotype...
To investigate the safety and effectiveness of intravitreal injection (IVI) 1.25% povidone iodine (PI) followed by vitrectomy using 0.025% PI irrigation for treating endophthalmitis.Prospective case series study. Nine eyes 8 patients with postoperative or endogenous endophthalmitis treated at Nihon University Hospital between April 2015 October 2017 were studied. First, IVI 0.1 mL/1.25%PI was conducted, anterior chamber 0.025%PI solution. Corneal epithelial damage, inflammation, vitreous...
