ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Residing in rural locations can be a barrier to health care access. This study investigated the impact of residing in rural and small town (RST) areas on Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) indications and outcomes in Atlantic Canada. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis examined consecutive DSAEKs performed in Nova Scotia between 2017 and 2020. Patient rurality was determined by the Statistical Area Classification system developed by Statistics Canada. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to assess for factors associated with DSAEK indication, including repeat keratoplasty, RST residence status, and travel time. RESULTS: Of 271 DSAEKs during the study period, 87 (32.1%) were performed on the eyes of RST residents. The median postoperative follow-up time was 1.6 years. Undergoing DSAEK for a previous failed keratoplasty was not associated with a higher odds of RST residency (odds ratio [OR], 0.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19-1.16; P = 0.13) but was associated with travel time (OR, 0.78 for each increasing hour of travel; 95% CI, 0.61-0.99; P = 0.044). RST residency was not associated with the occurrence of graft failure (OR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.17-1.17; P = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS: Residing in a rural area in Atlantic Canada was not associated with DSAEK graft failure. Repeat endothelial keratoplasty was associated with shorter travel time for corneal surgery but not rural residency status. Further research in this field could inform regional health strategies aimed at improving equity and accessibility to ophthalmology subspecialist care.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) images are subject to variability, but the extent to which learning impacts OCT-A measurements is unknown. We determined whether there is a learning effect in glaucoma patients and healthy controls imaged with OCT-A. METHODS: Ninety-one open-angle glaucoma patients and 54 healthy controls were imaged every 4 months over a period of approximately 1 year in this longitudinal cohort study. We analysed 15°×15° scans, centred on the fovea, in one eye of each participant. Two-dimensional projection images for the superficial, intermediate and deep vascular plexuses were exported and binarised after which perfusion density was calculated. Linear mixed-effects models were used to investigate the association between perfusion density and follow-up time. RESULTS: The mean (SD) age of glaucoma patients and healthy controls was 67.3 (8.1) years and 62.1 (9.0) years, respectively. There was a significant correlation between perfusion density and scan quality in both glaucoma patients (r=0.50 (95% CI 0.42 to 0.58); p<0.05) and healthy controls (r=0.41 (95% CI 0.29 to 0.52); p<0.05). An increase in perfusion density occurred over time and persisted, even after adjustment for scan quality (1.75% per year (95% CI 1.14 to 2.37), p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Perfusion density measurements are subject to increasing experience of either the operator or participant, or a combination of both. These findings have implications for the interpretation of longitudinal measurements with OCT-A.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To assess sound-level exposure during vitrectomy using 3 of the most common commercially available machines. Methods: This noninterventional cross-sectional study examined sound emission from the Constellation, Stellaris, and EVA vitrector systems. For each machine, a noise dosimeter was used to measure the sound-level exposure of the surgeon during 3 surgical cases in which vitrectomy was performed. Sound levels associated with progressively increasing cut rates and vacuum pressures were also measured. Finally, sound measurements were taken during the use of various additional functions of each machine, including diathermy, laser, and extrusion. Sound levels were compared with occupational health guidelines in Canada and the United States. Results: The maximum sound level recorded during vitrectomy surgery was 88.2 dBA. The mean sound level during vitrectomy surgical cases ranged from 58.5 to 66.8 dBA. A strong positive linear correlation was found between the cut rate and sound level (r = 0.88-0.98) and the vacuum pressure and sound level (r = 0.83-0.97). This relationship was consistent across the 3 vitrector systems (P < .001). Conclusions: Noise exposure during vitrectomy procedures was acceptable but may be sufficient for surgical team activity interference, as described by World Health Organization recommendations. A strong correlation was found between the cut rate and noise exposure. If cut rates continue to increase, attention should be given to ensure that the resulting noise exposure does not threaten the hearing of vitreoretinal surgeons and the operating room staff.

ABSTRACT

Age and intraocular pressure (IOP) are the two most important risk factors for the development and progression of open-angle glaucoma. While IOP is commonly considered in models of experimental glaucoma (EG), most studies use juvenile or adult animals and seldom older animals which are representative of the human disease. This paper provides a concise review of how retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss, the hallmark of glaucoma, can be evaluated in EG with a special emphasis on serial in vivo imaging, a parallel approach used in clinical practice. It appraises the suitability of EG models for the purpose of in vivo imaging and argues for the use of models that provide a sustained elevation of IOP, without compromise of the ocular media. In a study with parallel cohorts of adult (3-month-old, equivalent to 20 human years) and old (2-year-old, equivalent to 70 human years) mice, we compare the effects of elevated IOP on serial ganglion cell complex thickness and individual RGC dendritic morphology changes obtained in vivo. We also evaluate how age modulates the impact of elevated IOP on RGC somal and axonal density in histological analysis as well the density of melanopsin RGCs. We discuss the challenges of using old animals and emphasize the potential of single RGC imaging for understanding the pathobiology of RGC loss and evaluating new therapeutic avenues.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To identify characteristics of patients with early open-angle glaucoma exhibiting greater macular perfusion density (PD) loss compared with macular ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness loss. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. METHODS: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging of the optic nerve head and macula was conducted in patients and healthy control subjects. Minimum rim width, retinal nerve fiber layer and GCL thickness, and PD from OCT angiography were derived. Only high-quality images were included. For direct comparison, raw PD and GCL thickness values in patients were converted to relative age-corrected loss values based on data from controls. Demographic and ocular variables related to greater PD loss compared with GCL thickness loss were identified with multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS: Data from 89 patients (median mean deviation with the 24-2 and 10-2 tests, Humphrey Field Analyzer: -1.96 dB and -1.49 dB, respectively) and 54 controls were analyzed. Sixty-three (71%) patients had relatively more GCL thickness loss, whereas 26 (29%) had relatively more PD loss. More PD loss was associated with lower OCT and OCT-angiography signal strength (odds ratio [95% confidence interval], 0.64 [0.40, 0.96] and 0.60 [0.38, 0.86], per dB, respectively), thicker retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (1.08 [1.01, 1.16] per µm), and female sex (6.57 [1.25, 48.79]). CONCLUSION: Less than one-third of patients with early glaucoma had more loss of perfusion compared with conventional structural loss in the macula. Even within a range of high-quality images, lower signal strength may be at least partially responsible for apparent perfusion loss.

ABSTRACT

Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) allows in vivo, non-invasive, functional imaging of retinal perfusion. The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of OCT-A in visualizing the complete retinal vasculature by comparing in vivo OCT-A images to matched ex vivo retinal tissue in mice. Adult female C57BL/6 mice were imaged to obtain OCT-A images of the superficial vascular complex, intermediate capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus. Z-stack fluorescence images of whole-mounted retinas, labeled for vascular endothelial cells by anti-isolectin immunohistochemistry and FITC-dextran perfusion, were generated. The OCT-A and fluorescence images were manually colocalized and vessel length measured for each of the techniques. Mean vessel length among all plexuses showed less than 13% difference between OCT-A and lectin immunohistochemistry and less than 4% difference between OCT-A and FITC-dextran perfusion. The strength of the correlation between OCT-A and lectin immunohistochemistry ranged from 0.46-0.95, while that between OCT-A and FITC-perfusion ranged from 0.67-0.88. OCT-A visualized retinal vasculature in vivo to a similar extent in matched ex vivo histology images. Our results show that OCT-A is a reliable method for acquiring in vivo images of retinal perfusion in mice, with the ability to differentiate each vascular plexus.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Quantitative analysis of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) images requires a reproducible approach that accounts for sectoral loss. The objective of this study was to determine whether an index that accounts for both global (perfusion density, PD) and asymmetric loss of perfusion, rather than PD alone, more reliably measures loss of perfusion in patients with glaucoma. METHODS: We analysed macular OCT-A scans of 95 glaucoma patients and 59 control subjects. Two-dimensional projection images corresponding to the superficial vascular plexus were exported and analyses performed to calculate global PD and image asymmetry. An unsigned perfusion asymmetry index (PAI) that included PD and asymmetry (with 1:1 wt) was calculated. Perfusion density and PAI were compared with 10-2 visual field mean deviation and ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness. RESULTS: Median (IQR) visual field mean deviation was -1.73 (-3.76, 0.30) dB for the glaucoma group and 0.67 (0.16, 1.18) dB for the control group. The strength of the correlation with mean deviation was stronger for PAI (r=0.47), compared with PD (r=0.35), whereas with GCL thickness they were comparable (r=0.45 and 0.43, respectively). Compared with controls, mean PD was 12% lower in patients with glaucoma (0.27 vs 0.30), while PAI was 17% lower (0.40 vs 0.48). However, diagnostic accuracy of either PD or PAI was worse than GCL thickness. CONCLUSIONS: While PAI yielded better correlation with mean deviation and GCL thickness, and a slightly improved separation between patients with glaucoma and healthy controls, diagnostic accuracy was inferior compared with GCL thickness.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: We implemented optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) in mice to: (1) develop quantitative parameters from OCT-A images, (2) measure the reproducibility of the parameters, and (3) determine the impact of experimental models of inner and outer retinal damage on OCT-A findings. Methods: OCT-A images were acquired with a customized system (Spectralis Multiline OCT2). To assess reproducibility, imaging was performed five times over 1 month. Inner retinal damage was induced with optic nerve transection, crush, or intravitreal N-methyl-d-aspartic acid injection in transgenic mice with fluorescently labeled retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Light-induced retinal damage was induced in albino mice. Mice were imaged at baseline and serially post injury. Perfusion density, vessel length, and branch points were computed from OCT-A images of the superficial, intermediate, and deep vascular plexuses. Results: The range of relative differences measured between sessions across the vascular plexuses were: perfusion density (2.8%-7.0%), vessel length (1.9%-4.1%), and branch points (1.9%-5.0%). In mice with progressive RGC loss, imaged serially and culminating in around 70% loss in the fluorescence signal and 18% loss in inner retinal thickness, there were no measurable changes in any OCT-A parameter up to 4 months post injury that exceeded measurement variability. However, light-induced retinal damage elicited a progressive loss of the deep vascular plexus signal, starting as early as 3 days post injury. Conclusions: Vessel length and branch points were generally the most reproducible among the parameters. Injury causing RGC loss in mice did not elicit an early change in the OCT-A signal.

ABSTRACT

A defining characteristic of optic neuropathies, such as glaucoma, is progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Current clinical tests only provide weak surrogates of RGC loss, but the possibility of optically visualizing RGCs and quantifying their rate of loss could represent a radical advance in the management of optic neuropathies. In this study we injected two different adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector serotypes in the vitreous to enable green fluorescent protein (GFP) labelling of RGCs in wild-type mice for in vivo and non-invasive imaging. GFP-labelled cells were detected by confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy 1-week post-injection and plateaued in density at 4 weeks. Immunohistochemical analysis 5-weeks post-injection revealed labelling specificity to RGCs to be significantly higher with the AAV2-DCX-GFP vector compared to the AAV2-CAG-GFP vector. There were no adverse functional or structural effects of the labelling method as determined with electroretinography and optical coherence tomography, respectively. The RGC-specific positive and negative scotopic threshold responses had similar amplitudes between control and experimental eyes, while inner retinal thickness was also unchanged after injection. As a positive control experiment, optic nerve transection resulted in a progressive loss of labelled RGCs. AAV vectors provide strong and long-lasting GFP labelling of RGCs without detectable adverse effects.

ABSTRACT

Although recent studies reveal that activation of the metabolic and Ca2+ sensor AMPK strongly inhibits smooth muscle contraction, there is a paucity of information about the potential linkage between pharmacological AMPK activation and vascular smooth muscle (VSM) contraction regulation. Our aim was to test the general hypothesis that the allosteric AMPK activator A-769662 causes VSM relaxation via inhibition of contractile protein activation, and to specifically determine which activation mechanism(s) is(are) affected. The ability of A-769662 to cause endothelium-independent relaxation of contractions induced by several contractile stimuli was examined in large and small musculocutaneous and visceral rabbit arteries. For comparison, the structurally dissimilar AMPK activators MET, SIM, and BBR were assessed. A-769662 displayed artery- and agonist-dependent differential inhibitory activities that depended on artery size and location. A-769662 did not increase AMPK-pT172 levels, but did increase phosphorylation of the downstream AMPK substrate, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). A-769662 did not inhibit basal phosphorylation levels of several contractile protein regulatory proteins, and did not alter the activation state of rhoA. A-769662 did not inhibit Ca2+- and GTPγS-induced contractions in ß-escin-permeabilized muscle, suggesting that A-769662 must act by inhibiting Ca2+ signaling. In intact artery, A-769662 immediately reduced basal intracellular free calcium ([Ca2+]i), inhibited a stimulus-induced increase in [Ca2+]i, and inhibited a cyclopiazonic acid (CPA)-induced contraction. MET increased AMPK-pT172, and caused neither inhibition of contraction nor inhibition of [Ca2+]i. Together, these data support the hypothesis that the differential inhibition of stimulus-induced arterial contractions by A-769662 was due to selective inhibition of a Ca2+ mobilization pathway, possibly involving CPA-dependent Ca2+ entry via an AMPK-independent pathway. That MET activated AMPK without causing arterial relaxation suggests that AMPK activation does not necessarily cause VSM relaxation.

ABSTRACT

Metabolic stress diminishes smooth muscle contractile strength by a poorly defined mechanism. To test the hypothesis that metabolic stress activates a compensatory cell signaling program to reversibly downregulate contraction, arterial rings and bladder muscle strips in vitro were deprived of O2 and glucose for 30 and 60 min ("starvation") to induce metabolic stress, and the phosphorylation status of proteins involved in regulation of contraction and metabolic stress were assessed in tissues under basal and stimulated conditions. A 15-30 min recovery period (O2 and glucose repletion) tested whether changes induced by starvation were reversible. Starvation decreased basal phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain (MLC-pS19) and of the rho kinase (ROCK) downstream substrates cofilin (cofilin-pS3) and myosin phosphatase targeting subunit MYPT1 (MYPT1-pT696 and MYPT1-pT853), and abolished the ability of contractile stimuli to cause a strong, sustained contraction. Starvation increased basal phosphorylation of AMPK (AMPK-pT172) and 3 downstream AMPK substrates, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC-pS79), rhoA (rhoA-pS188), and phospholamban (PLB-pS16). Increases in rhoA-pS188 and PLB-pS16 would be expected to inhibit contraction. Recovery restored basal AMPK-pT172 and MLC-pS19 to control levels, and restored contraction. In AMPKα2 deficient mice (AMPK[Formula: see text]), the basal level of AMPK-pT172 was reduced by 50%, and MLC-pS19 was elevated by 50%, but AMPK[Formula: see text] did not prevent starvation-induced contraction inhibition nor enhance recovery from starvation. These results indicate that constitutive AMPK activity participates in constitutive regulation of contractile proteins, and suggest that AMPK activation is necessary, but may not be sufficient, to cause smooth muscle contraction inhibition during metabolic stress.

ABSTRACT

Recent advances in clinical ophthalmic imaging have enhanced patient care. However, the ability to differentiate retinal neurons, such as retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), would advance many areas within ophthalmology, including the screening and monitoring of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. Imaging at the single cell level would take diagnostics to the next level. Experimental methods have provided techniques and insight into imaging RGCs, however no method has yet to be translated to clinical application. This review provides an overview of the importance of non-invasive imaging of RGCs and the clinically relevant capabilities. In addition, we report on experimental data from wild-type mice that received an in vivo intravitreal injection of a neuronal tracer that labelled RGCs, which in turn were monitored for up to 100 days post-injection with confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy. We were able to demonstrate efficient and consistent RGC labelling with this delivery method and discuss the issue of cell specificity. This type of experimental work is important in progressing towards clinically applicable methods for monitoring loss of RGCs in glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. We discuss the challenges to translating these findings to clinical application and how this method of tracking RGCs in vivo could provide valuable structural and functional information to clinicians.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To identify anomalous features that impact drug delivery in the eye as a result of intravitreal injections using micro-computed tomography imaging. METHODS: Three-dimensional micro-computed tomography images were acquired following an intravitreal injection of 0.03 mL of contrast agent into ex vivo porcine eyes (n = 24). A baseline scan was acquired prior to injection to detect any abnormalities in the eyes. Acquisition continued at various time intervals up to 230 min post-injection. RESULTS: Air bubbles were clearly visible within the vitreous of 21 eyes following injections. There was a total of 36 air bubbles in the 21 eyes and the volume of the air bubbles ranged from 0.01 µL to 1.50 µL. It was found the size of the air bubbles decreased over the scanning period. Furthermore, many of the injected boli in the eye specimens did not have the commonly assumed spherical shape; rather, a variety of other shapes resulted. CONCLUSION: The presence of air bubbles and inconsistent bolus shapes have indicated that intravitreal injections have high variability. It is only through the realization of these anomalous features that the efficacy of intravitreal drug delivery will be improved through a consistent and accurate injection technique.

ABSTRACT

This study uses micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging for assessment of concentration and transport mechanisms of ocular drug surrogates following intravitreal injection. Injections of an iodinated contrast agent were administered to enucleated porcine eyes prior to scanning over 192 min. Image analysis was performed using signal profiles and regions of interest that corresponded to specific iodine concentrations. Diffusion coefficients of the injected iodine solutions were calculated using nonlinear regression analysis with a diffusion model. There was a predominantly diffusive component in the movement of the contrast to the back of the eye in the horizontal (sagittal & coronal) directions, with ultimate retinal fate observed after 120 min. The diffusion coefficients were found to have a mean of 4.87 × 10(-4) mm(2) s(-1) and standard deviation of 8.39 × 10(-5) mm(2) s(-1) for 150 mg ml(-1) iodine concentration and 6.13 × 10(-4) ± 1.83 × 10(-4) mm(2) s(-1) for 37.5 mg ml(-1) concentration. However, it should be noted that these coefficients were time dependent and were found to decay as the diffusion front interacted with the retinal wall. A real-time, accurate, non-invasive method of tracking a bolus and its concentration is achieved using a high spatial resolution and fast scanning speed micro-CT system.
