role of vascular endothelial growth factors in ocular neovascular diseases
the most important progress in the field of retinal diseases during recent years might be the introduction of pharmacotherapy. age-related macular degeneration for instance was an irreversible disease leading to permanent anatomical and functional changes in the macula up to the previous decade; however, the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (anti-vegfs) not only stops the p...
متن کاملInterleukin-17 in Various Ocular Surface Inflammatory Diseases
Recently, the association of Th-17 cells or IL-17 with ocular inflammatory diseases such as uveitis, scleritis and dry eye syndrome was discovered. We assessed whether interleukin (IL)-17 was present in the tears of various ocular surface inflammatory diseases and the tear IL-17 concentrations were clinically correlated with various ocular surface inflammatory diseases. We measured concentratio...
متن کاملPathological Role of Interleukin-17 in Poly I:C-Induced Hepatitis
Immune-mediated responses were the main causes of liver damage during viral hepatitis, and recently viral RNA mimetic Poly I:C was used to induce a NK cell-dominated acute hepatitis. Interleukin-17A (IL-17A), the cytokine tightly associated with various autoimmune diseases, was known to play protective or pathological roles in LPS and ConA-induced hepatitis. However, its role in NK cell-mediate...
متن کاملBroad Spectrum Antiangiogenic Treatment for Ocular Neovascular Diseases
UNLABELLED Pathological neovascularization is a hallmark of late stage neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 50 in the western world. The treatments focus on suppression of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), while current approved therapies are limited to inhibiting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) exclusi...
متن کاملBevacizumab for ocular neovascular diseases: a systematic review.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Many eye diseases involve increased local levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and there are several therapeutic strategies for them. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bevacizumab for treating eye diseases involving increased local levels of VEGF, as the assumed pathophysiological mechanism. DATA SOURCES The follo...
