چکیده

PURPOSE: We studied the effects of exposure to mitomycin C and 5-Fluorcuracil to human RPE cultures, in growth inhibition and citoxicity. METHODS: 1) Growth inhibition: RPE cultures (3.000 cells/well) were exposed to different concentrations of mitomycin C and 5-Fluorouracil, and cell viability (MTT test) was evaluated 48h, 72h and 96h after. 2) Citotoxicity: RPE cultures (10.000 cells/well) were exposed to different concentrations of mitomVcin C and 5-Fluorouracil, and cell viability (MT? test) was evaluated 96h after. RESULTS: 1) Growth inhibition: IC,o (!Jcl/ml) o= dose that produced 50% RPE growth inhibition was at 48 h 0.86; and at 96 h 0.43 for the mitomycin, whereas it ias at 48 h 6.311; and at 96h 1.36 for 5-fluorouracil. 2) Citotoxicity: IC,, (pg/ml) or dose that produced 50% RPE zitotoxicity was at 96 h 0.09 for the mitomvcin. whereas it was at 96h 0.55 for 5-fluorouracil. CONCLUSIONS: Mitomycin C at lower doses has a higher effect on RPE growth inhibition and citotoxicity than 5-fluorouracil.

Comparison of treatment results for retinopathy of prematurity by diode laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy – four years of observation

Background: The aim of the study was to compare functional and structural outcomes of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity with diode laser photocoagulation and cryotherapy. Materials and methods: We examined 111 children aged 4 years, treated for retinopathy of prematurity by transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation or cryotherapy. Both functional (visual acuity, orthoptic status) and s...

Diode laser photocoagulation to the vascular retina for progressively advancing retinopathy of prematurity.

AIMS To estimate the effectiveness of diode laser photocoagulation of the retina posterior to the ridge in eyes with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). METHODS Diode laser photocoagulation was applied posterior to the fibrovascular ridge in stage 4a ROP in six eyes of four infants and in advancing stage 3+ in two eyes of one infant. Seven eyes had previously been unsuccessfully treated with di...

Retinopathy of Prematurity Transscleral Retinal Photocoagulation (TSRPC) The 810 nm diode laser wavelength makes lens-sparing transscleral coagulation of the retina possible, and to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transscleral diode laser coagulation for threshold ROP, the authors performed a controlled clinical study. Forty eyes of 20 preterm infants (gestational age 24-29 weeks, mean 26.8...

Introduction & Objective: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of blindness in premature newborns. It accounts for 4% of childhood blindness in developed countries and up to 40% in developing countries. The aim of this study is to report the refractive and anatomical outcome of patients who had undergone laser photocoagulate on for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Materials & M...
