Retro-mode imaging of fibrovascular membrane in proliferative diabetic retinopathy after intravitreal bevacizumab injection
The F10 is a new commercially available scanning laser confocal ophthalmoscope (SLO) that can perform multiple functions. We determined the usefulness of noninvasive evaluation of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) pathologies before and after intravitreal injection of bevacizumab (IVB) using the new indirect viewing system of the retro-mode function of the F10 SLO, and compared the image...
متن کاملApelin in plasma and vitreous and in fibrovascular retinal membranes of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
PURPOSE Apelin is an endogenous ligand for the angiotensin-1-like receptor APJ. Because apelin has been reported to regulate angiogenesis, the authors searched for associations between apelin and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. METHODS The study included 55 patients undergoing vitrectomy for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (study group) and 34 patients undergoing vitrectomy for idiopat...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinases and their natural inhibitors in fibrovascular membranes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
AIM To examine epiretinal membranes of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) for the presence of selective matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors (TIMPs), in order to determine whether neovascularisation and fibrosis, characteristic of this complication of diabetes mellitus, are associated with specific anomalies of MMP or TIMP expression. METHODS The presence of sel...
متن کاملTenascin-C promotes angiogenesis in fibrovascular membranes in eyes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
PURPOSE We previously demonstrated that tenascin-C was highly expressed in the fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) of patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). However, its role in the pathogenesis of FVMs has not been determined. The purpose of this study was to investigate what role tenascin-C plays in the formation and angiogenesis of FVMs. METHODS The level of tenascin-C was dete...
متن کاملCharacterization of cells from patient-derived fibrovascular membranes in proliferative diabetic retinopathy
PURPOSE Epiretinal fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) are a hallmark of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). Surgical removal of FVMs is often indicated to treat tractional retinal detachment. This potentially informative pathological tissue is usually disposed of after surgery without further examination. We developed a method for isolating and characterizing cells derived from FVMs and corre...
