Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a breakdown in the natural layer of tears that coats the front of the eye. Air quality in Jakarta indicated to be harmful to human health. The average annual PM 2.5 figure in Central Jakarta recorded 27.6 μg/m3. This figure is far beyond WHO standard that is 10 μg/m3. According to AAO one of the risk factors for dry eyes is exposure/injury to chemicals and the environment (dusty, windy, hot/dry). Therefore duration of traffic related air pollutions exposure may have an effect with the severity of dry eye syndrome on taxibike drivers in Central Jakarta. Methods : Analytic observation with cross sectional approach. Population was 196 taxibike drivers of Central Jakarta from April-May 2023. Data collection was by means of a questionnaire containing identity,informed consent,duration of exposure,and DES questions accordance with OSDI provisions. The results obtained are then recorded, aggregated, and entered into charts and tables. Hypothesis test used is chi-square. Results : There were 196 participated in this study. A total of 8 participants(4,1%) with >12hours duration of exposure experienced severe dry eyes, 18 participants(9.2%) experienced moderate, 102 participants(52%) experienced mild dry eyes and the rest was normal(34.6%). According to this, prevalence of DES was more frequent in taxibike drivers who worked 6-12hours more than in <6hours of worked (OR: 1.764) and the severity increased with duration of exposure(p<0.05). Conclusion : The duration of gas emission exposure has significant correlation with the frequency and severity of DES on taxibike drivers in Central Jakarta.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Conjunctivitis is one of the most common diseases present in primary health care (PHC) settings. The most common causes of conjunctivitis are viral infections and allergies. Despite this, patients diagnosed with conjunctivitis are often given antibiotics as therapy. Therefore, this literature review will assess the appropriateness of antibiotics prescription for patients with conjunctivitis in PHC settings. Methods : The authors performed an electronic literature search on databases PubMed and Scopus for eligible articles, which showed antibiotic prescription for patients with conjunctivitis in PHC settings and published between 2012 and 2022, then further sorted based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results : A total of 8 studies met the inclusion criteria. Five studies showed high rates of inappropriate antibiotic prescriptions for patients with conjunctivitis in PHC. Several factors that might cause inappropriate prescription include the difficulty in determining the exact etiology, the need to fulfill patients’ satisfaction, the amount of experience and training doctors have received, consultation’s duration, stigma, the socio-demographic factors of the patient, the availability of treatment guidelines, and the availability of drugs. Some of the consequences that are concerned include the rise of antimicrobial resistance, stigma revolving around the usage of antibiotics for every infectious disease, and economic burden. Delays in prescribing antibiotics and proper training for general practitioners can be a solution to reduce inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics. Conclusion : Prescribing antibiotics for patients with conjunctivitis in PHC settings is mostly inappropriate

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Clinical pattern recognition is paramount in uveitis diagnosis. Pathogen detection from ocular fluid samples is often necessary to support infectious uveitis diagnosis, particularly in cases presenting with atypical clinical appearance. This study aims to present the process of developing targeted multiplex PCR and its application in infectious uveitis. Methods : This was a cross sectional study to evaluate the diagnostic performance of targeted multiplex PCR in infectious uveitis. We obtained ocular fluid samples and reviewed medical records of uveitis patients who underwent ocular fluid analysis at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital from February 2022 to March 2023. PCR detection threshold values (DNA copies/mL) were 10.9 for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), 672 for Epstein-Barr virus, 4.77 for Cytomegalovirus, 6.37 for Toxoplasma gondii, and 5.53 for Herpes simplex virus. With every two-fold increase of pathogen selection, this method requires a half volume of extracted DNA template from aqueous/vitreous samples than uniplex PCR. The ophthalmologist selected the pathogen combination to be detected, allowing for a tailored examination. Results : Forty-seven aqueous or vitreous samples were analyzed. The positivity rate was 23.4% (11/47) with Mtb yielded the highest positivity (7/34; 20.6%). With final diagnosis as a reference, targeted multiplex PCR resulted in 32.3% sensitivity, 93.8% specificity, 90.9% positive predictive value and 19.2% negative predictive value. Conclusion : With its high specificity, targeted multiplex PCR is useful as a confirmatory but not screening tool in uveitis diagnosis. Ocular fluid analysis is an important part of stepwise diagnostic approach in uveitis.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most commonly encountered problem in daily ophthalmology practice. One of many risk factors for DED is cataract surgery. Cataract surgery is known to modify tear film and ocular surface through corneal incision and ocular toxicity of peri- and postoperative medications. The aim of this study is to analyze tear film before and after phacoemulsification in primary eye care facility by measuring tear break-up time (TBUT), fluorescein staining, Schirmer I test (ST-I), and ocular surface disease index (OSDI) score. Methods : This was a longitudinal observational study with prospective cohort design, which included patients diagnosed with senile cataract and underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery at primary eye care center Sawangan Eye Clinic within period of June to December 2022. Friedman, Wilcoxon, and Cochran tests were used to analyze the data. Results : Thirty nine eyes from 39 patients met the inclusion criteria and were followed up to 3-month postoperatively. Mean age of the patients was 61.1±10.54 years, which consited of 53.8% males and 46.2% females. Mean preoperative OSDI score, corneal staining, TBUT, and ST-I were 24.94±10.24, 1.38±1.99, 2.94±2.17, and 15.46±8.80 respectively; while 3-month postoperative, these parameters’ means were 11.22±13.15 (p=0.0001), 1.38±2.56 (p=0.118), 3.13±1.79 (p=0.192), and 13.31±9.45 (p=0.006) respectively. OSDI was the only parameter which showed statistically significant changes from preoperative to postoperative follow ups (p<0.05). Conclusion : Phacoemulsification did not alter corneal staining and TBUT significantly after 3 months postoperatively, even though both of these parameters' preoperative value were already lower; yet OSDI score improved over time after surgery.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Limbal stem cells (LSCs) play important role in maintaining corneal clarity. Disruption of LSCs or its niche may lead to LSCs deficiency that result in blindness. This study aimed to investigate therapeutic effect of advanced adipose protein extract (AAPE) in LSCs regeneration. Methods : AAPE was derived from adipose derived mesenchymal stem cell secretome purifed by ultrafiltration technique. 2D culture of LSCs were exposed by 0.25 NaOH, then treated with serum-free media as control group, media supplemented with 20% and 50% AAPE as treatment group I and II, respectively. MTT assay was conducted to measure cell proliferation and in vitro scratch assay to assess cell migration at 48 hours after treatment. EGF, FGF, HGF, and KGF from supernatant were measured by ELISA. Data was analyzed using One way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey. Results : A 50% AAPE successfully promoted the highest proliferation and migration rate of LSCs compared to control group (94.38±2.51%, P 0.001; 68.52±3.51%, P 0.001). EGF (1216.67pg/mL), FGF (988.25pg/mL), HGF (119.33pg/mL), and KGF (793.25pg/mL) from 50% AAPE supernatant group were highest among other groups. Conclusion : A 50% AAPE demonstrated optimal beneficial effect on LSCs regeneration through upregulation of EGF, FGF, HGF, and KGF associated with niche modulation.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic requires medical faculty students to attend distance lectures using computers for long periods of time which directly has an impact of computer vision syndrome (CVS) which can progress to dry eye disease (DED). One of the tear film stability tests is the Tear Break Up Time, both with the invasive tear break up time (TBUT) technique and the non- invasive tear break up time (NIBUT) technique. This study aims to determine the consistency of tear film stability measurements using these two techniques in medical faculty students who suffer from CVS with and without DED. Methods : 62 medical students of Udayana University were enrolled in this study and devided into two groups namely CVS with DED symptoms and CVS without DED symptoms. Both groups were underwent TBUT examination using fluorescein strips and cobalt blue filter with slitlamp biomicroscopic and NIBUT examination with the tear film analysis software from Medmont E300 corneal topography. Results : There was no significant difference between TBUT and NIBUT measurements in the DED group (p=0.1985) and in the Non-DED group (p=0.9336). There was no difference in the consistency of TBUT and NIBUT in the two groups (p=0.4550). Conclusion : Both techniques provide consistent results in assessing DED. NIBUT technique is faster and more convenient for patients also can be an alternative for practitioners to diagnose DED if it is not possible to use TBUT due to allergies or the unavailability of fluorescein at the clinic.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth caused by inflammation in exocrine glands. Dry eye with SS is often more severe than non-SS dry eye and can greatly affect patients’ quality of life, thus treatment modalities must be selected carefully. This study aims to evaluate the recent studies on topical treatment for dry eye disease related to SS and provide evidence based recommendation for clinical practice. Methods : Electronic literature search was performed through the PubMed and Cochrane database from the last 10 years. We only included studies with prospective clinical trial design, a follow-up period of at least 4 weeks, and had outcome parameters among the following: Ocular Surface Disease Index, Schirmer test, tear break up time, tear meniscus height, and corneal fluorescein staining. Results : Fifteen studies were selected from 125 articles retrieved. We identified clinical trials using tacrolimus, cyclosporine, cortisol phosphate, diquafosol, rebamipide, fluorometholone, hydrocortisone, clobetasone butyrate, autologous serum, autologous platelet lysate, artificial tear, and various type of vehicles including hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate, almond oil, ceftazidime,or saline solution. Conclusion : Cyclosporine has comparably equal efficacy to corticosteroid eye drops in improving signs and symptoms of dry eye in SS, but with a better safety for long-term use. Autologous serum is also an effective therapy with the best concentration being 100% serum (no dilution). Diquafosol is a promising therapy but more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Dry Eye Disease is a multi-factorial ocular surface and tear film instability disease. It has been reported as one of the most frequent anterior segment ocular manifestations in HIV patients, occurring late in the disease. The study aimed to investigate clinical correlation of CD4 count and severity of the disease. Methods : This study was a hospital based cross-sectional study where 75 HIV patients (150 eyes) aged 18-50 years old were referred to ophthalmology clinic in VCT for ocular surface related complaints and were included in the study. Results : The study showed significant moderate positive correlation between CD4 count with Tear Break Up Time (TBUT) (r-value=0.509;p-value=0.05) and negatively correlated with Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score (r-value=-0.252, p-value=0.035). There were a significant difference in CD4 count between mild and moderate dry eyes (p-value=0.005) and between mild and severe dry eyes (p-value=0.005), however no significant difference was observed between moderate and severe dry eyes (p value=0.435). The severity of dry eye in HIV patients also tends to differ in-between clinical stage of the disease (p value=0.513) and with the presence of co-infection (p value=0.228), although the result was not statistically significant. Conclusion : There is a correlation between CD4 Count and Dry Eye Disease severity among HIV patients. The lower the CD4, the higher the risk for HIV patients to get severe dry eye disease. This shows the importance of CD4 control and monitoring to prevent various ocular disease and manifestations related to HIV.

Abstract

Abstract Introduction & Objectives : Dry eye disease (DED) has a prevalence of approximately 40-59% of all glaucoma patients. Changes in cellular structure after trabeculectomy underlie the instability of the tear film. This study aims to determine the relationship between DED and post-trabeculectomy bleb morphology. Methods : An observational study with survival analysis design to evaluate the time to DED in primary glaucoma patients with post- trabeculectomy blebs was undertaken at the Eye Health Polyclinic of Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang from January to March 2022. There were 30 primary glaucoma patients who met the inclusion criteria. Bivariate analysis to determine the relationship between bleb morphology and DED was analyzed using the Fisher Exact test. DED survival analysis was conducted using Kaplan Meier analysis. Results : Three months after trabeculectomy, 11 of 30 (36.7%) patients suffered from DED. There was a significant relationship between bleb height and DED three months after trabeculectomy [PR = 14.222 (Cl 95% 2.324- 87.028; p = 0.004)]. In addition, the results showed that there was a significant difference in the survival time of DED in glaucoma patients based on bleb height (p = 0.001). Conclusion : Bleb height is a predictor of DED in glaucoma patients after trabeculectomy.
