主 题:extraocular muscle surgery fibrosis inflammation nintedanib triamcinolone acetonide
摘 要:AIM:To investigate the efficacy of nintedanib on reducing postoperative inflammation,fibrosis and adhesion formation following extraocular muscle surgery in rabbits in comparison with triamcinolone acetonide(TA).METHODS:Reinsertion of superior rectus muscle in right eyes of 30 New Zealand white rabbits were *** were randomized to receive one of the following treatments:0.9%normal saline,one of 1-,5-,and 10μmol doses of nintedanib subconjunctivally immediately after surgery and on postoperative day 1,2,3,5,and 7,and TA immediately after *** a control group,unoperated left eyes(n=6)were *** the 28 th day,six eyes from each group were enucleated and histopathologically and immunohistochemically analyzed to assess the postoperative inflammatory changes,fibrosis and *** growth factor beta,matrix metalloproteinase-2 and alpha smooth muscle actin expressions were ***:Conjunctival and scleral inflammation in TA and nintedanib groups were significantly reduced compared to saline(sham)*** vascularity and rectus muscle fibrosis were significantly reduced in 10μmol nintedanib *** groups were the most effective groups in reduction of perimuscular *** three nintedanib groups nor TA group differed statistically from sham group with regard to *** expressions of transforming growth factor beta,alpha smooth muscle actin and matrix metalloproteinase-2 were reduced in nintedanib groups compared to saline ***:Nintedanib appears to attenuate postoperative inflammation and fibrosis after extraocular muscle *** may be a safer and stronger alternative agent in extraocular muscle surgery when compared to *** investigation is needed to prove antiadhesive effect of nintedanib.
