RESUMO

AIM: To investigate the long-term changes of corneal densitometry (CD) and its contributing elements after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). METHODS: Totally 31 eyes of 31 patients with mean spherical equivalent of -6.46±1.50 D and mean age 28.23±7.38y were enrolled. Full-scale examinations were conducted on all patients preoperatively and during follow-up. Visual acuity, manifest refraction, axial length, corneal thickness, corneal higher-order aberrations, and CD were evaluated. RESULTS: All surgeries were completed successfully without complications or adverse events. Ten-year safety index was 1.17±0.20 and efficacy 1.04±0.28. CD value of 0-6 mm zones in central layer was statistically significantly lower 10y postoperatively, compared with preoperative values (0-2 mmΔ=-1.62, 2-6 mmΔ=-1.24, P<0.01). There were no correlations between CD values and factors evaluated. CONCLUSION: SMILE is a safe and efficient procedure for myopia on a long-term basis. CD values get lower 10y postoperatively, whose mechanism is to be further discussed.

RESUMO

1. Human endothelial cells express proteinase-activated receptor-2 (PAR-2), inflammatory cytokines and trypsin (EC 3.4.21.4). However, little is known about the mechanism through which trypsin induces cytokine release from endothelial cells. 2. In the present study, we investigated the effect of trypsin on cytokine release from primary cultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) using an antibody based protein microarray and ELISA. 3. The results showed that 1 microg/mL trypsin induced release of 32 different inflammatory factors, whereas 100 micromol/L Ser-Leu-Ile-Gly-Lys-Val-NH2 (SLIGKV-NH2) only stimulated secretion of 16 inflammatory factors from HUVEC, as assessed by an antibody based protein microarray. Because the release of interleukin (IL)-1a, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-12 was markedly increased following PAR-2 activation, their release was investigated further using ELISA. Increases in release of up to approximately 4.8-, 4.3-, 4.1- and 1.8-fold were observed for IL-1a, IL-10, IL-12 and IL-8, respectively, when HUVEC were challenged with trypsin for 16 h. Agonist peptides of PAR-2, namely SLIGKV-NH2 and trans-cinnamoyl-Leu-Ile-Gly-Arg-Leu-Orn-NH2 (tc-LIGRLO-NH2), also provoked significant release of IL-8. Trypsin-induced cytokine release was inhibited by its inhibitors soybean trypsin inhibitor, alpha1-antitrypsin and the inhibitor peptide of PAR-2 Phe-Ser-Leu-Leu-Arg-Tyr-NH2 (FSLLRY-NH2). 4. These data indicate the action of trypsin on HUVEC is most likely through activation of PAR-2, suggesting that PAR-2-related mechanisms are involved in the inflammatory process in humans.
