Iris Damage Is Associated With Elevated Cytokine Levels in Aqueous Humor.
Purpose To evaluate the association between iris damage and cytokine levels in the aqueous humor (AqH). Methods A total of 201 AqH samples from 201 consecutive patients (mean age 73.7 ± 10.6) were collected at the beginning of corneal transplantation or cataract surgery. Iris damage of each case was assessed from preoperative slit-lamp findings based on its severity. The subjects were classif...
متن کاملAqueous humor tyrosinase activity is indicative of iris melanocyte toxicity
Antibiotics such as fluoroquinolones (FQLs) are commonly used to treat ocular infections but are also known to cause dermal melanocyte toxicity. The release of dispersed pigments from the iris into the aqueous humor has been considered a possible ocular side effect of the systemic administration of FQLs such as Moxifloxacin, and this condition is known as bilateral acute iris transillumination ...
متن کاملAqueous humor cytokine profiling in patients with wet AMD
PURPOSE To investigate the chemokine expression profiles in the aqueous humor of wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) patients and to correlate their levels with clinical findings. METHODS Undiluted aqueous humor samples (100-200 μl) were obtained from 16 wet AMD eyes and 12 control eyes. Forty chemokines were measured using a multiplex method. A 6×6 mm area of the macular region ce...
متن کاملComparison of aqueous humor cytokine and chemokine levels in diabetic patients with and without retinopathy
PURPOSE To compare the aqueous humor levels of proinflammatory and angiogenic factors of diabetic patients with and without retinopathy. METHODS Aqueous humor was collected at the start of cataract surgery from diabetic subjects and non-diabetic controls. The presence and severity of diabetic retinopathy were graded with fundus examination. Levels of 22 different inflammatory and angiogenic c...
متن کاملHLA antigens in the iris and aqueous humor gamma interferon levels in anterior uveitis.
The induced expression of HLA antigens on a variety of tissues involved in autoimmune diseases has been reported by several groups. In this study, we have examined the expression of HLA antigens in iris biopsy specimens from patients with anterior uveitis and compared them to patients with noninflammatory senile cataracts. In addition, we measured the levels of gamma interferon in the aqueous h...
