Trypan blue staining of epiretinal membranes in proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether trypan blue staining facilitates epiretinal membrane (ERM) removal in proliferative vitreoretinopathy. METHODS In 10 patients undergoing vitrectomy for proliferative vitreoretinopathy, ERM peeling was performed without staining the tissue, until no additional ERMs were clearly visible. Then, after a fluid-air exchange, 0.06% trypan blue solution was applied onto...
متن کاملAquaporin-1 Expression in Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy and in Epiretinal Membranes
PURPOSE Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is involved in cell migration and proliferation; therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate its expression in proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) and epiretinal membranes (ERM). METHODS 19 membranes from PVR and ERM were collected following eye surgery. AQP1 mRNA and protein expressions were determined by RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence in the membranes...
متن کاملOrigin of fibronectin in epiretinal membranes of proliferative vitreoretinopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy.
Fibronectins, high molecular multifunctional glycoproteins of the extracellular matrix and plasma, have been a popular area of research in the pathogenesis of proliferative disorders of the retina. Several immunohistochemical studies have revealed that fibronectin is a major constituent of epiretinal membranes and that the cell types involved in proliferative intraocular disorders may synthesis...
متن کاملComparison of Gene Expression Profile of Epiretinal Membranes Obtained from Eyes with Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy to That of Secondary Epiretinal Membranes
BACKGROUND Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a destructive complication of retinal detachment and vitreoretinal surgery which can lead to severe vision reduction by tractional retinal detachments. The purpose of this study was to determine the gene expression profile of epiretinal membranes (ERMs) associated with a PVR (PVR-ERM) and to compare it to the expression profile of less-aggress...
متن کاملImmunoreactive ET-1 in the vitreous humor and epiretinal membranes of patients with proliferative vitreoretinopathy.
PURPOSE Endothelin one (ET-1) is a vasomodulator peptide that plays a role on ocular blood flow, glial proliferation, and collagen matrix contraction by retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells. Both glial and RPE cells have been involved in the formation of epiretinal membranes (ERMs). This investigation was conducted to determine whether ET-1 may be associated with ERMs, either idiopathic (IE...
