Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : The characteristics, symptoms, and clinical manifestations of pituitary adenoma in Indonesia have not been widely studied. In 26 patients undergoing pituitary surgery at Dr. Kariadi Hospital, we compared visual acuity pre-surgery and post-surgery from normal and thin optical coherence tomography (OCT) of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell layer-internal plexiform layer (GCL-IPL). Methods : A retrospective study from medical record from Januari 2020 to December 2022 was done. 21 of the 26 patients had surgery by the transsphenoidal route and the rest by craniotomy. All patients had macroadenoma (tumor size >1cm) and histologically confirmed. Visual acuity before and after surgery was evaluated along with patient’s OCT value. Results : The thinner pre-surgery RNFL thickness was associated with worse visual acuity (VA). Patients with normal RNFL had a median VA of 20/200 while those with thin RNFL had to count their fingers (CF). The patients with normal pre-surgery RNFL had a significant improvement in median VA after surgery, from 20/200 to 20/32 (p=0.022), whereas the patients with thin RNFL did not improve (CF to CF, p=0.026). The patients with normal pre-surgery GCL-IPL had non-significant improvement in median VA after surgery from CF to 20/20 (p=0.505), also the patients with thin GCL-IPL from CF to 20/200 (p=0.151). Conclusion : Based on this study, the visual recovery after pituitary adenoma surgery is likely to be predicted by pre-surgery OCT RNFL. Patients with normal RNFL thickness show an increase propensity in visual recovery after surgery.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Strabismus causes visual impairment due to ocular misalignment, interferes cosmetic appearance, results in negative self-image and impacts quality of life. Studies in adults have shown that successful strabismus surgery improves quality of life, but awareness of strabismus surgery and its benefits are still lacking. Studies regarding the impact of conservative treatment on quality of life are limited, so further study is required. Methods : This was an observational study comparing 2 unpaired groups. The method used in this study was cross-sectional and samples were obtained purposefully according to medical records and consecutively based on outpatient visits. Results : Thirty-six subjects in group A, who had undergone strabismus surgery and 33 subjects in group B who were still managed conservatively were included in this study. Both groups had similar demographic characteristics, except parental education background (p=0.048). Comparative test of2 unpaired groups in this study showed higher quality of life scores in group A (p=0.0001). Conclusion : The quality of life in subjects who had undergone strabismus surgery was better than that in those who were still managed conservatively.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Traumatic optic neuropathy is a visual disturbance condition after acute injury to optic nerve. This injury results in retinal ganglion cells ischemic leading to excitotoxicity and apoptosis. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant and cofactor in electron transport within mitochondria that inhibits glutamate excitotoxicity and thereby preventing retinal ganglion cell apoptosis. This research aims to prove the effect of coenzyme Q10 on NMDA receptor expression and retinal ganglion cell density in rat model of traumatic optic neuropathy. Methods : This study use post-test only randomized controlled groups design. Traumatic optic neuropathy wistar rats model was made by optic nerve crushed method, then given oral CoQ10 100mg/kgBW after 1 hour for 14 days in treatment group. Retinal histopathological specimen was made with immunohistochemistry and Haematoxyllin-eosin staining and examined under microscope with 400x magnification. Data was verified and statistically analyzed. Results : The NMDA receptor expression in the treatment group was significantly lower than control (p=0.009). The retinal ganglion cell density in the treatment group was significantly higher than control (p=0.009). There was a significant correlation between NMDA receptor expression and retinal ganglion cell density in the treatment group (p = 0.012) with a strong negative correlation direction (r = - 0.652). Conclusion : Administration of CoQ10 in traumatic optic neuropathy model rats affects NMDA receptor expression and retinal ganglion cell density. NMDA receptor expression was lower with higher retinal ganglion cell density in the treatment group. NMDA receptor expression was inversely proportional to retinal ganglion cell density in the treatment group.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : The Pelli-Robson and LEA contrast sensitivity chart are widely used to measure clinical contrast sensitivity. The Pelli-Robson is a gold standard with the limitation of its bulky size. The LEA contrast sensitivity chart offers a reliable test in a way more practical and portable chart. This condition led to a question of whether we can predict Pelli-Robson score based on the LEA score. This study developed a conversion method to facilitate the transition from the LEA to the Pelli-Robson and validating the conversion score. Methods : This study retrospectively examined the relationship between LEA and Pelli-Robson Contrast Sensitivity Test. There were 120 eyes included in this study. We produced a conversion table using the equipercentile equating method. Then, we evaluated the reliability and accuracy of this algorithm to convert the LEA to the Pelli-Robson contrast sensitivity score. Results : LEA scores were converted to Pelli-Robson scores according to a conversion table that achieved a reliability of 0.91 based on intraclass correlation. The accuracy of this algorithm was 81.6% within 1 point difference from the raw score. Conclusion : This study reported a reliable and comparable conversion algorithm for transforming LEA scores into converted estimated Pelli-Robson scores. This method will enhance the utility of existing data in clinical and research settings.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) accounts for 90-95% of optic neuropathy in the elderly with symptoms of decreased visual acuity. Posterior ciliary brevis hypoperfusion results in ischemia, triggers oxidative stress, axonal edema as well as compartment syndrome leading to retinal ganglion cell death via apoptosis. There is no gold standard therapy for NAION. Citicholine as a neuroprotector agent has shown satisfactory results in the acute and chronic phases. Methylprednisolone is also a therapeutic consideration that decreases capillary permeability thereby promoting faster resolution of disc edema. This study aimed to compare visual acuity in NAION patients with combination therapy of citicholine and methylprednisolone with single citicholine therapy. Methods : An analytical observational study with retrospective data collection at the National Eye Center of Cicendo Hospital for the period January 2021–February 2022. A total of 59 NAION patients who met the inclusion criteria were then divided into 2 groups, namely receiving a combination of citicholine with corticosteroids and single citicholine treatment. Results : The mean age in the combination group was 52.57±9.035 and the single group was 57.52±10.319. The number of men and women in the combination group were the same while in the single group women was higher. The risk factors obtained were hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), dyslipidemia, and smoking. There was a significant mean difference between initial visual acuity and3 months after therapy in the combination therapy group (p=0.0001) and in the single group. (p=0.002) Conclusion : Visual acuity in NAION patients with combination therapy of citicholine and methylprednisolone is better than citicholine alone.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Methanol toxic optic neuropathy (MTON) remains as a health issue in developing countries and there are no current definitive treatments. Accumulation of formic acid as metabolite of methanol causes mitochondrial dysfunction that can reduce ATP synthesis rate, disrupt axoplasmic transport, and elevate the reactive oxygen species (ROS). All of these mechanisms lead to the death of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) and optic nerve. RGC destruction in MTON has similar patterns with those that have been observed in glaucoma, ischemia, and trauma cases, that is through excessive activation of glutamate neurotransmitter via N-Methyl D-Aspartate receptors (NMDAR). Memantine is a NMDAR antagonist that inhibit the ion channel of NMDAR. This inhibitory effect of NMDAR by memantine is expected to reduce intracellular calcium level, prevent apoptosis of RGC, and prevent further mitochondrial dysfunction. Caspase-9 is essential to eliminate cells by executing apoptotic Objective: To observe the effect of Memantine on Caspase-9 level of RGC in Methanol-Intoxicated Rats. Methods : This experimental study was performed on 28 Methanol-Intoxicated Rats that are assigned into four treatment groups: K1 (MTON;enucleated day-3), K2 (MTON+Memantine; enucleated day-3), K3 (MTON; enucleated day-7), and K4 (MTON+Memantine; enucleated day-7). During the experiment, all groups were exposed to N2O:O2 gas and were given methanol orally. Caspase-9 level of RGC were measured immediately after enucleation. Results : The average of Caspase-9 level (ng/ml): K1=197,88±33,98; K2=205,64±63,66; K3=243,15±40,13; K4=150,08±119,60. The Caspase-9 level was significantly lower in K4 compared to K3 (p value =0.038). Conclusion : Memantine decrease the level of Caspase-9 of RGC in Methanol Toxic Optic Neuropathy rat model.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) ocular abnormalities persisted even after treatment, negatively impacting the patient's psychological and social health. The Indonesian Graves' Ophthalmopathy Quality of Life (GO-QoL) Questionnaire has not been validated; hence it cannot measure patient quality of life in Indonesia, which is crucial to GO treatment. This objective of this study is providinga reliable Indonesian GO-QoL questionnaire and identifying an association between patient quality of life and clinical activity and severity of GO. Methods : The cross-sectional study ran from May through October 2022. Graves' ophthalmopathy and thyroid disease management were the inclusion criteria. Those who could not be reached by video call or controlled for two weeks for test-retest data collection were excluded. The process of questionnaire validation involves transcultural adaptation and cross-sectional design. The content validity index (CVI) and Cronbach's alpha assessed validity and reliability, respectively. Results : Content validity index (CVI) was 1.00 for the Indonesian GO-QoL questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha visual function subscale value was 0.971, while the appearance subscale value was 0.993, and the total score was 0.986. The appearance subscale and total score of GO patients' quality of life had a significant association with the clinical activity score (p<0.05) and disease severity (p<0.001). Conclusion : The Indonesian version of the GO-QoL questionnaire has high validity and reliability values. Patients' appearance and overall quality of life decreases with active Graves' ophthalmopathy. Graves' ophthalmopathy severity decreases quality of life on the appearance and overall subscales.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Ethambutol is one of the first-line drugs in the treatment of tuberculosis and known to induce optic neuropathy. However, there are unknown protocols for detecting subclinical level of toxicity. The aim of this study was to assess the difference in amplitude and latency of visual evoked potential (VEP), color vision, and contrast sensitivity in tuberculosis patients before and after taking ethambutol for 1 and 2 months. Methods : This was a prospective observational cohort study of 38 eyes of 19 newly diagnosed patients with category-1 tuberculosis being treated with ethambutol. All patients were given ethambutol for 2 months at a dose of 15 - 20 mg/kg body weight/day. The participants underwent complete eye and visual function examination including pattern-reversal VEP, color vision with Farnsworth Munsell D-15 test, and contrast sensitivity with LEA Low Contrast Flip Chart before and after 1 and 2 months of treatment. Wilcoxon test was employed for data analysis. Results : During the study, no changes in visual acuity was observed. The results showed that the latencies of VEP after 1 month (p = 0.000) and 2 months (p = 0.000) of treatment were significantly delayed. There was a significant difference in contrast sensitivity after 2 months (p = 0.014) of treatment. However, no significant difference was found in color vision and amplitude of VEP. Conclusion : Latency of VEP and contrast sensitivity test could prove useful in detecting subclinical and hence very useful for monitoring patients under ethambutol therapy for ocular toxicity.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : To prove the effect of oral curcumin on NMDA receptor expression and retinal ganglion cell density. Methods : Wistar rats model of traumatic optic neuropathy were divided into 2 groups. The treatment group was given oral curcumin 150mg/kgBW/24 hours for 14 days 1 hour after trauma. NMDA receptor expression was examined by IHC staining and retinal ganglion cell density was examined by HE staining. Data were collected and analyzed. Results : NMDA expression was found to be significantly lower in the treatment group compared to the control group (p = 0.046). The mean of ganglion density in the control and treatment group was 12.88 ± 2.44 and 17.92 ± 6.95, respectively. The treatment group had a significantly higher ganglion density (p = 0.043). There was a significant relationship between NMDA receptor expression and retinal ganglion density (p = 0.043, r = -0.591). Conclusion : Curcumin can suppress the expression of NMDA receptors to maintain retinal ganglion density in rat models of optic neuropathy
