Estudo da eficácia do agulhamento transconjuntival com 5-fluoracil em olhos com pressão intraocular elevada e bolha encapsulada pós trabeculectomia / The efficacy of transconjunctival needling revision with 5- fluorouracil in encapsulated blebs with elevated intraocular pressure after trabeculectomy

Objetivo: Estudo comparativo da pressão intraocular (PIO) após agulhamento transconjuntival (ATC) com 5-fluoracil (5-FU) e tratamento clínico (TC) em olhos glaucomatosos com bolha encapsulada e PIO não controlada após trabeculectomia com mitomicina C (MMC), no final de 12 meses de seguimento. Desenho: Estudo prospectivo, randomizado, intervencionista. Participantes: 40 olhos de 39 pacientes com bolha encapsulada, desenvolvida em 5 meses ou menos, após trabeculectomia primária com mitomicina e PIO >= 20mmHg. Métodos: Os olhos foram randomizados para ATC com 5-FU e TC. Um máximo de dois ATC foi permitido no estudo. Todos os olhos foram acompanhados por 12 meses. O sucesso foi definido como PIO <= 18 mmHg e redução de 20% da PIO basal (sem medicações no grupo ATC). Resultados: A média da PIO em 12 meses de acompanhamento foi de 12,14 ± 2,80 mmHg no grupo do ATC e 15,13 ± 2,07 mmHg no grupo do TC (p = 0,004). 14 olhos (70%) foram considerados sucesso no grupo do ATC e 15 olhos (75%) no grupo do TC (p = 0,89). O número médio de agulhamentos foi de 1,35 ± 0,49 e a quantidade média de medicamentos foi de 2,15 ± 0,74. Conclusões: Houve uma taxa de sucesso semelhante nos olhos randomizados para ATC com 5-FU em comparação com TC em 12 meses de seguimento. No entanto, foi observada uma significativa menor média da PIO, após o ATC / Objective: To compare de efficacy of transconjuctival needling revision (TNR) with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and medical treatment (MT) in glaucomatous eyes with encapsulated bleb and uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) at 12 months follow-up. Design: Prospective, randomized, interventional study. Participants: Forty eyes of 39 patients with encapsulated bleb developed in 5 months or less following primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin and IOP >= 20mmHg. Methods: Eyes were randomized to either TNR with 5-FU or MT. A maximum of two TNR was allowed in the study. All eyes were followed-up for 12 months. Success of treatment was defined as IOP <= 18mmHg and a 20% reduction from baseline (no medications in TNR group). Results: Mean IOP at 12 months follow-up was 12.14 ± 2.80 mmHg in the TNR group and 15.13 ± 2.07 mmHg in the MT group (p=0.004). Fourteen eyes (70%) were considered a success in the TNR group and 15 eyes (75%) in the MT group (p=0.89). The number of needling procedure was 1.35 ± 0.49 procedures and the number of medication was 2.15 ± 0.74 medications. Conclusions: We have demonstrated a similar success rates in eyes randomized to MT in comparison to TNR with 5-FU at the last follow-up. However, a significant lower mean IOP after TNR was observed

The prostamide-related glaucoma therapy, bimatoprost, offers a novel approach for treating scalp alopecias

Balding causes widespread psychological distress but is poorly controlled. The commonest treatment, minoxidil, was originally an antihypertensive drug that promoted unwanted hair. We hypothesized that another serendipitous discovery, increased eyelash growth side-effects of prostamide F(2alpha)-related eyedrops for glaucoma, may be relevant for scalp alopecias. Eyelash hairs and follicles are highly specialized and remain unaffected by androgens that inhibit scalp follicles and stimulate many others. Therefore, we investigated whether non-eyelash follicles could respond to bimatoprost, a prostamide F(2alpha) analog recently licensed for eyelash hypotrichosis. Bimatoprost, at pharmacologically selective concentrations, increased hair synthesis in scalp follicle organ culture and advanced mouse pelage hair regrowth in vivo compared to vehicle alone. A prostamide receptor antagonist blocked isolated follicle growth, confirming a direct, receptor-mediated mechanism within follicles; RT-PCR analysis identified 3 relevant receptor genes in scalp follicles in vivo. Receptors were located in the key follicle regulator, the dermal papilla, by analyzing individual follicular structures and immunohistochemistry. Thus, bimatoprost stimulates human scalp follicles in culture and rodent pelage follicles in vivo, mirroring eyelash behavior, and scalp follicles contain bimatoprost-sensitive prostamide receptors in vivo. This highlights a new follicular signaling system and confirms that bimatoprost offers a novel, low-risk therapeutic approach for scalp alopecias.
