Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of mitomycin C(MMC)‐chitosan (CS)sustained release microspheres on the scar‐ring prevention of the filtering passage during glaucoma filtering surgery .Methods Filtering surgery model was established on 96 eyes of 48 healthy adult New Zealand white rabbits which were divided into 4 groups ,24 eyes in each group .The right eyes implan‐ted MMC‐CS microspheres in 24 rabbits(group A) ,whereas that of the fellow eyes implanted empty CS microspheres(group B) , and in other 24 rabbits which right eyes only used 0 .20 mg/mL MMC cotton(group C) ,on the opposite sides with no adjunctive treatment(group D) .Intraocular pressure ,filtering bleb ,anterior chamber flare ,complications and the numbers of corneal endotheli‐al cells were observed after surgery .Rabbits were killed on the 7th ,14th and 21th day postoperatively in batch and histopathological examination was carried out .Results (1)the intraocular pressure:group A can maintain the low level of intraocular pressure for a long time ,followed by group C ,group B and group D ,and difference between groups was statistically significant (P< 0 .01) .(2) The filtering blebs :the filtering bleb survival time of group A was longer than other group(P<0 .01) .(3)Complication:there was not any complication in the 4 groups .(4)The number of corneal endothelial cells :the number of corneal endothelial cells of group A preoperative and postoperative had no statistical significance differences(P>0 .05) .(5)Histopathologic findings :group A had bet‐ter conjunctival epithelial integrity ,subconjunctival fibroblast less than other groups ,filtration had no obvious inflammation infiltra‐tion around the mouth area ,but also had fewer new collagen fibers .Conclusion MMC‐CS sustained release microspheres is a safe and effective treatment to inhibit inflammatory cells activity and fibroblast activity in surgery sites ,and can significantly improve outcome of filtration surgery .
