ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effents of bevacizumab on the recrudescence of the limbal corneal epithelial cell auto-graft transplantation in treating patients with pterygium.Methods The clinical data of 75 cases(99 eyes) with pterygium were retraspectively reviewed,and they were divided into 3 groups by different conservative treatment.A group:the limbal corneal epithelial cell auto-graft transplantation combined with bevacizumab.B group:the limbal corneal epithelial cell auto-graft transplantation combined with MMC.C group:the limbal corneal epithelial cell auto-graft transplantation.After follow-up for 3 months,the curative effect and recurrence were compared between the two groups.Results The recurrence of three groups was significantly different( x2 =12.267,P ＜ 0.05 ).The reccurrence rate of A,B,C group were 12.1％,15.2％,45.5％.The recurrence rate of A group and B group wasn't significantly different(x2 =2.117,P ＞0.05).The recurrence rate of B group and C group wasn't statistically different( x2 --3.930,P ＜ 0.05 ).The recurrence rate of A group and C group was significantly different( x2 =4.155,P ＜ 0.05 ).After 1 week,all patients had different degrees of eye pain,photophobia or tearing,and disappeared after 1 week;2 patients in group B found that limbal shallow scleral necrosis,superficial punctate keratitis.The average time of removal of stitches in group A was 5.9d,group B was 7.0d and group C was 7.5d.Conclusion Bevacizumab could obviously reduce the recrudescence of the limbal corneal epithelial cell auto-graft transplantation in treating patients with pterygium.It was safe with less complications and good prognosis.It was worthy for being widely used in treatment of pterygium.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the protective effect of aminoguanidine(AG),silymarin (Sil) and anisodamine (Ani) on retinal capillary pericytes cultured in glycosylation products. Methods MTT cololrimetric assay, thymidine incorporating and fluorescent indicator fura 2 acetoxy methyl ester (Fura 2AM) were used to study the influence of AG,Sil and Ani on the growth,DNA synthesis,and cytosolic free calcium([Ca 2+ ]i)changes of pericytes cultured in the medium contained early glycation products (EGs) or advanced glycation end products (AGEs). Results Cultured in the medium contained EGs,the A value by MTT assayed and amount of thymidine incorporating in AG group and Sil group were obviously elevated than those of control group(P
