چکیده

PURPOSE To further investigate the pathogenesis of late-onset capsular block syndrome (CBS) and to evaluate the safety of surgical treatment. METHODS Seven patients diagnosed with late-onset CBS were retrospectively analyzed. Anterior chamber depth (ACD), intraocular pressure (IOP), refractive diopter, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) before and after surgery were recorded. The opaque substance was tested with Western blot, and a flow cytometer multiple array assay system was utilized to evaluate the levels of inflammatory cytokines from opaque substance and aqueous humor, respectively. RESULTS Patients who had undergone surgical treatment showed a significant BCVA and spherical equivalent refractive error improvement (P = 0.002, P = 0.021, resp.). Nevertheless, ACD and IOP before and after surgery were in normal range with no difference (P = 0.165, P = 0.749, resp.). αB-crystallin and βB-crystallin were detected in all opaque substances. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interlukin-1β (IL-1β) levels in opaque substance were significantly higher than those in aqueous humor (P = 0.038, P = 0.007, resp.), while IL-2 and IL-6 were not detected in any samples. CONCLUSIONS Opaque substance is derived from human lens epithelial cells. Inflammatory cytokines may be involved in the pathogenesis of late-onset CBS. In addition, surgical treatment is an effective approach. This trial is registered with ChiCTR-IOR-17011287.

Late-Onset Capsular Block Syndrome: Unusually Delayed Presentation

Capsular block syndrome (CBS) has been known to occur as a rare complication of cataract surgery with continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis and a posterior-chamber lens implant. Typically, it presents with reduced vision in the early postoperative period and is characterised by a forward displacement of the posterior-chamber intra-ocular lens and an accumulation of intra-capsular opaque material...

The effect of metformin in the treatment of intractable and late onset acne: a comparison with oral isotretinoin

Background: Insulin resistance and increased insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 with consequent mammalian target of rapamycin complex (mTORC) 1 overexpression is responsible for acne pathogenesis, especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Metformin is shown to improve acne as an adjunct therapy in females with PCOS and males with altered metabolic profile. We evaluated the use ...

Recurrent late-onset fibrotic capsular block syndrome after neodymium-yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser anterior capsulotomy: a case report

BACKGROUND Capsular block syndrome is an uncommon complication that occurs after cataract surgery. It is characterized by capsular distension, anterior intraocular lens displacement, anterior chamber shallowing, and unexpected myopic shifts. We report a case of recurrent fibrotic capsular block syndrome with Elschnig's pearl-type posterior capsule opacification 10 months after neodymium-yttrium...

I-30: Late Onset Severe Hemoperitoneum after Transvaginal Oocyte Retrieval: Incidence, Course, and Management

Background Severe ovarian bleeding after transvaginal oocyte retrieval is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication. A late-onset is common and may be associated with an increased risk for ovariectomy. In the present study we analyzed our cases of ovarian bleeding (OB) after oocyte retrieval and compared it with the published cases and studies, including 31 patients. Main outcome mea...

Capsular Weakness around Breast Implant: A Non-Recognized Complication

Capsular contraction is a frequent complication following breast augmentation. On the other hand, capsular weakness, a not widely recognized complication, may occur around the implant. A weak capsule allows the migration of the prosthesis to the lateral region of the thoracic region or inferiorly, towards the abdomen, due to gravitational forces. The cause of capsular weakness remains unresolve...
