Patients were divided into groups: 1a 25 patients (25 eyes) who underwent sinustrabeculectomy with the formation of grooves for the intramuscular fluid outflow, 1b 26 patients (28 eyes) who underwent of sinustrabeculectomy with scleral flap twisting, 1c 28 patients(29 eyes) who underwent sinustrabeculectomy with scleral flap stitching, and the control group 27 patients (27 eyes) who underwent routine sinustrabeculectomy. The follow-up duration was up to 24 months. \u0000RESULTS: In 1 month after surgery, the average level of intramuscular pressure was comparable and remained low in all groups. Complete compensation of intramuscular pressure in groups 1a, 1b and 1c was observed in 80%, 75% and 76% of cases; partial in 16%, 18% and 21% of cases; failure in 4%, 7% and 3% of cases, respectively. In the control group (2), complete hypotensive success was noted in 55% of cases; partial in 30% of cases; failure in 15% of cases. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: Developed new methods of sinustrabeculectomy allow to obtain a prolonged hypotensive effect.","PeriodicalId":10836,"journal":{"name":"Current Ophthalmology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77460105","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The history of retinal pigment epithelium transplantation is briefly characterized in the study. Characteristics of the methods used are presented, their limitations, possibilities, and requirements for implementation in practice are highlighted. The results of transplantation of suspension of retinal pigment epithelium cells differentiated from human induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC-RPE) without and with the use of platelet-rich blood plasma (PRP) are also considered. According to the results of the analysis we have developed modified methods of IPSC-RPE cells transplantation in the experiment on rabbits, which allow to reduce the number of postoperative complications, which provides the best therapeutic effect. Prospects for further studies are associated with a comparative analysis of the proposed techniques in terms of cell survival at different terms, anatomical integration and functional efficiency in the dynamics.","PeriodicalId":10836,"journal":{"name":"Current Ophthalmology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76921401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The presented clinical case demonstrates the features of differential diagnosis of direct carotid-cavernous fistula and secondary post-traumatic glaucoma. Direct carotid-cavernous fistula is the formation of a communication between the internal carotid artery and the cavernous sinus and the discharge of arterial blood into it. The first symptom of a carotid-cavernous fistula is a pulsating noise in the head and above the eye. The manifest signs in the clinical picture are the signs of obstruction of venous outflow from the eye and the orbit: proptosis, eyelid edema and chemosis, congestive redness of the eye, varicose subcutaneous veins of the eyelids, as well as dilated ophthalmic vein visualized by ultrasound of the orbit, ophthalmic hypertension, oculomotor disorders, state of the fundus. The clinical picture in patients with secondary post-traumatic contusion glaucoma, in addition to an increase in intraocular pressure, is characterized by the presence of a congestive redness of the eye, changes in the cornea from mild superficial opacities to more dense ones, luxation or subluxation of the lens into the anterior chamber or vitreous, destruction of the vitreous or intraocular hemorrhage. The similarity of clinical manifestations of traumatic carotid-cavernous fistula and secondary post-traumatic glaucoma can cause difficulties in differential diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":10836,"journal":{"name":"Current Ophthalmology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78592066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, the state of the eye surface after successful hypotensive surgery, which resulted in the cessation or significant reduction of medical therapy, has not been studied. \u0000AIM: To identify ocular surface changes after glaucoma surgery. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study group consisted of 475 consecutively enrolled patients who were operated during 20162020 in Saint Petersburg Multidisciplinary City Hospital No. 2 for primary open-angle unstable glaucoma, and then observed for 6 to 24 months. Trabeculectomy (TE) was used as the first hypotensive procedure (418 patients), as re-operation TE (25 patients) or Ahmed valve implantation (32 patients) were chosen. Using statistical methods, the dynamics of symptoms (OSDI) and signs [tear film break-up time (TBUT) and reflex tear production defined by Schirmer I test] depending on outcome (complete or partial success and total failure) were analyzed. \u0000RESULTS: The cessation of the pharmacological load due to the complete success of the surgery was accompanied by pronounced (two-fold) and long (for at least two years) decrease of OSDI scores. The obliged, even partial, return to instillations by patients, who were included into the subgroup of partial success, within six months, transformed the achieved differences into insignificant ones. TBUT at complete and partial success significantly increased at all end-points of the study, significantly differing from the similar indicator in the subgroup total failure. The results of the Schirmer I test against the background of complete success of the operation showed a statistically significant increase, compared to the baseline , delayed for six months, throughout the whole further follow-up period. Patients entering the partial success subgroup in 24 months after surgery, also showed a significant increase in tear secretion. The failure of glaucoma surgery was accompanied by a brief and insignificant improvement in all scores. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: The hypotensive surgery, which lead to complete success, was accompanied by a significant improvement of the ocular surface state. Restart of local therapy reduces achieved results. Failure of surgical treatment is associated with minimal fluctuations of the studied parameters.","PeriodicalId":10836,"journal":{"name":"Current Ophthalmology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87507642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stepanyants","doi":"10.17816/ov116735","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17816/ov116735","url":null,"abstract":"BACKGROUND: Eye injury is an actual problem, occupying a leading position among the main causes of blindness and low vision, accounting for 22.8% in the structure of primary visual disability, of which 53% of cases are due to closed eye injury. Despite the development and widespread introduction into practice of methods of high-tech care for patients of this profile, there are a number of complications that poorly respond to treatment, ultimately leading to the loss of visual function of the injured eye. \u0000AIM: Evaluation of the effectiveness of early vitrectomy in patients with severe blunt ocular trauma, based on clinical results obtained during treatment and postoperative follow-up. \u0000MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 34 patients (34 eyes) with contusion-type eye injury. The mean age of patients was 39 years, among them 30 were men (88.24%) and 4 (11.76%) women. Patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 11 patients (10 men, 1 woman) with an open-type eye injury with a subconjunctival scleral rupture; upon admission, visual acuity varied from incorrect light projection to 0.01. In group 2, there were 23 patients (20 men, 3 women) with severe closed eye injury, upon admission to the hospital, visual acuity ranged from incorrect light projection to 0.06. In all cases, patients underwent subtotal three-port vitrectomy at an early date (up to 3 days) after injury. \u0000RESULTS: On the 1st day after surgery, there was an improvement in visual acuity in all patients. The follow-up period for patients was 6 months. All included patients had a stable anatomical result, no cases of subatrophy were noted, satisfactory functional results were achieved - visual acuity varied from 0.02 to 0.8. After 6 months, 32 out of 34 eyes (94.12%) showed no signs of proliferative vitreoretinopathy. In 2 patients (18.18%) from group 1, the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy under silicone oil was revealed. Epiretinal membrane was diagnosed in 2 patients (8.7%) from group 2 and in 1 patient (9.09%) from group 1. \u0000CONCLUSIONS: Obtained clinical results of treatment of patients with severe blunt ocular trauma indicate the expediency of vitrectomy in early stages after injury, which is an effective treatment method. Long-term results demonstrate stable functional results for 6 months. Vitrectomy performed early after injury serves for prevention of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, but does not completely exclude its development. Performing surgery early after injury increases the prospects for preserving visual functions of the eye and is a positive prognostic factor.","PeriodicalId":10836,"journal":{"name":"Current Ophthalmology Reports","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75165311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
