Int J Ophthalmol 2023; 16:367-374. [PMID: 36935796 PMCID: PMC10009591 DOI: 10.18240/ijo.2023.03.06] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM To evaluate the outcomes and elucidate the failure factors for trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in Southwest Chinese patients. METHODS A retrospective correlational study was conducted on the glaucomatous patients who underwent initial trabeculectomy with MMC in Southwest Hospital and had been followed up for 1-3y. A complete success for surgery is defined as a postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) >5 and ≤21 mm Hg and 20% reduction of IOP compared to preoperative, without IOP-lowering medications. A qualified success for surgery is defined as the abovementioned postoperative IOP with or without IOP-lowering medications. The primary outcomes were IOP, the number of IOP-lowering medications, and cumulative success rate. The secondary outcomes included best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mean deviation (MD) of visual field, major complications, and risk factors for surgical failure. RESULTS A total of 325 eyes of 261 glaucomatous patients had been included in our study. Both the mean IOP and the number of IOP-lowering medications were significantly decreased from 32.9±12.0 to 16.4±5.7 mm Hg (P<0.0001) and 3.0±0.9 to 0.9±1.0 (P<0.0001), respectively, at the last visit. The cumulative complete success rate and qualified success rate were 77.8% and 92.0% at 1-year follow-up, and 47.2% and 77.7% at 3-year follow up. There were no significant differences in surgical outcomes between primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). In PACG patients, the success rates of trabeculectomy were comparable with those of phacotrabeculectomy. Hypertension (HR=1.904, P=0.011), encapsulated bleb (HR=2.756, P<0.001), and more preoperative topical medications (HR=2.475, P=0.008) were risk factors for surgical failure. CONCLUSION The qualified success rate of trabeculectomy with MMC in glaucomatous patients in the cohort is 92.0% at 1-year, and 77.7% at 3-year follow up. Hypertension, encapsulated bleb, and more preoperative topical medications are associated with surgical failure.

[PMID: 35693935 PMCID: PMC9185677 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.898772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is a matricellular extracellular matrix protein. Matricellular proteins are components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that regulate key cellular functions and impact ECM organization, but which lack direct primary structural roles in the ECM. TSP-1 expression is upregulated in response to injury, hypoxia, growth factor stimulation, inflammation, glucose, and by reactive oxygen species. Relevant to glaucoma, TSP-1 is also a mechanosensitive molecule upregulated by mechanical stretch. TSP-1 expression is increased in ocular remodeling in glaucoma in both the trabecular meshwork and in the optic nerve head. The exact roles of TSP-1 in glaucoma remain to be defined, however. It plays important roles in cell behavior and in ECM remodeling during wound healing, fibrosis, angiogenesis, and in tumorigenesis and metastasis. At the cellular level, TSP-1 can modulate cell adhesion and migration, protease activity, growth factor activity, anoikis resistance, apoptosis, and collagen secretion and matrix assembly and cross-linking. These multiple functions and macromolecular and receptor interactions have been ascribed to specific domains of the TSP-1 molecule. In this review, we will focus on the cell regulatory activities of the TSP-1 N-terminal domain (NTD) sequence that binds to cell surface calreticulin (Calr) and which regulates cell functions via signaling through Calr complexed with LDL receptor related protein 1 (LRP1). We will describe TSP-1 actions mediated through the Calr/LRP1 complex in regulating focal adhesion disassembly and cytoskeletal reorganization, cell motility, anoikis resistance, and induction of collagen secretion and matrix deposition. Finally, we will consider the relevance of these TSP-1 functions to the pathologic remodeling of the ECM in glaucoma.

Int J Ophthalmol 2021; 14:1970-1978. [PMID: 34926216 DOI: 10.18240/ijo.2021.12.24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Accepted: 07/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
AIM To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of non-penetrating glaucoma surgery (NPGS) plus phacoemulsification (Phaco-NPGS) and NPGS-alone. METHODS We systematically searched various databases and reviewed studies that had evaluated the effects of Phaco-NPGS or NPGS-alone for patients with glaucoma. Primary outcomes included postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) and the number of postoperative antiglaucoma medications. Secondary outcomes were the prevalence of complications, incidence of needling or goniopuncture, and surgical success rate. RESULTS In total, 380 and 424 eyes in NPGS-alone and Phaco-NPGS groups respectively were included. Both postoperative IOP and number of medications were significantly lowered in the Phaco-NPGS group than that in the NPDS-alone group [weighted mean difference (WMD)=-1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI): -2.11 to -0.12, P=0.03; WMD=-0.31, 95%CI: -0.53 to -0.09, P=0.006]. Moreover, Phaco-NPGS had a significantly lower prevalence of complications and postoperative procedures compared to NPGS-alone, while no significant difference existed for surgical success. CONCLUSION Phaco-NPGS superior to NPGS-alone in the reduction of IOP and medications. Phaco-NPGS can be recommended for glaucoma patients with coexisting cataracts owing to its superior efficacy, fewer complications, and postoperative procedures.
