Abstract

Background: To research the efficacy of pterygium excision with conjunctival autograft withoutsuture or fibrin glue.Methods: After pterygium excision and preparing of autologous conjunctival graft, the recipient bedis encouraged to achieve natural haemostasis before graft placement. Excessive haemorrhage in thegraft bed is tamponaded without cautery. Graft adherence and positioning is examined 15 minutesafter surgery. Cases were reviewed to obtain details of complications and recurrence.Results: Twenty seven eyes of 27 patients with pterygium underwent conjunctival autograft withnatural patient’s own blood acting as bioadhesive or fixative, without suture. The mean age is 54 yearsold (SD 9.86), 13 males and 14 females. Mean follow up time was 4.0 months (SD 1.85). The rate ofrecurrences which followed up for 6 months is 8.33% (1 patient), 9.09% (1 patient) which followed upfor 3 months and no recurrences in patients which followed up for 1 month. The complicationsregarding graft displacement was 2 patients (7.4%), 2 patients with graft retraction (7.4%), and 1patient with loss of graft (3.7%). The other complications were not found and cosmesis was excellent.Conclusion: This study suggests that autologous fibrin in blood works as bioadhesive and can be usedas alternative method for graft fixation in pterygium surgery.

Abstract

Background: Corneal ulcer is a major cause of blindness in developing countries causing prolongedmorbidity, loss of vision, and often loss of eyes. Corneal ulcer is an ocular emergency that requiresprompt and appropriate management to ensure the best visual outcome for the pattern of bacterialcorneal ulcers at a private eye clinic in Jakarta, and to test these bacteria against routinely used ocularantibiotics in order to formulate new guidelines for therapy.Methods: This was a descriptive study. All patients treated for bacterial corneal ulcers who agreed toparticipate in this study were prospectively followed. Clinical features (age, risk factors, visual acuity)and response to therapy were observed. Bacteriological profile was determined and the antibioticsusceptibility tests were done.Results: Fifteen consecutive patients with bacterial corneal ulcer (median age 39, SD 19.1) wereprospectively enrolled from September 2012 to November 2014. The predisposing factors weretrauma (40%), contact lens (33.3%), eyelid abnormalities (13.3%), and keratopathies (13.3%). Growthfrom culture was found in five patients and all of them had results of Pseudomonas sp. The isolatedPseudomonas sp was susceptible to gentamicin, levofloxacin, tobramycin, and ofloxacin. Eighty percentof patients had improved conditions with improved visual outcome.Conclusion: In this series, ocular trauma and contact lens wear were the most common predisposingfactor. Pseudomonas sp was the only microorganism isolated from the culture. The isolated bacteriawere sensitive to gentamicin, tobramycin, ofloxacin, and levofloxacin. Keywords: bacterial corneal ulcer, culture, corneal trauma, contact lens, antibiotic susceptibility test

Abstract

Background: Prevalence of blindness in West Java province according to RAAB survey is 2.8% withconfidence interval 2.0-3.5%, and cataract is the main cause with the proportion of 77.1%. It meansthere are 257,600 blind people of 50 and above, 198,609 of them have cataract blindness. In the termof cataract problems, West Java government has been implementing the prevention of blindness andlow vision program since 2005, but backlog of cataract is still high. Lots of barriers on cataract surgicalservices program come from provider and population. Five main kind of barriers come from populationare costs, distance, social and culture, community awareness, and trust to provider. Information ofbarriers is important for program planning to overcome the barriers. The purpose of this research is toreport the barriers of cataract surgical services program in West Java province according to RAABsurvey.Methods: This study is West Java population-based cross sectional study using Rapid Assessment ofAvoidable Blindness (RAAB) protocol, with multistage cluster sampling that was conducted in 2014.Results: Cataract blindness prevalence was 0.8% (95% CI 0.2-1.3%) for male and 2.2% (95% CI 1.4-2.9%) for female. Cataract surgery was performed more in male (44.1%) than female (25.8%). Mainbarriers in male group of cost, need no felt, fear, and unaware of treatment are possible; while thebarriers in female group were cost and fear. An unaware of the treatment is possible.Conclusion: The barriers of cataract surgical services in West Java were cost, need no felt, fear, andunaware of the treatment are possible. We need to manage the cost and increase community awarenessand willingness of cataract surgery to encounter the problem cataract blindness and visual impairmentin West Java province.

Abstract

Background: Glaucoma in childhood is a rare and serious cause of blindness around the world, but itis treatable. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of vision loss in people of all ages around theworld. Childhood glaucoma is estimated to cause a significant percentage of blindness in children,from 1.2% of children in Great Britain, 3% in northern India, to 7% in southern India. The aim of thisstudy is to report the characteristics of childhood glaucoma in Kariadi Hospital Semarang fromJanuary 2012 to December 2014.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 62 eyes in 37 patients with childhood glaucoma from January2012 to December 2014. Medical records of childhood glaucoma were reviewed to determine thecharacteristics, including the demographic data.Results: Twenty five children (67.6%) with childhood glaucoma are male. The mean age was 4.9years old (range 16 days old to 16 years old). The incidence of bilateral childhood glaucoma was morecommon than unilateral glaucoma which consisted of 25 patients (67.6%) had bilateral glaucoma and12 patients (32.4%) had unilateral glaucoma. Out of 37 patients, 15 patients had congenital glaucoma(40.54%), 13 patients had glaucoma due to secondary glaucoma (35.14%) and 9 patients had juvenileglaucoma (24.32%). Also, the study showed that there were 13 eyes (20.9%) that had CDR ≤0.3, 41eyes (66.2%) had CDR >0.3, 8 eyes (12.9%) with CDR >0.9 and corneal diameter in 13 eyes (20.9%)were <12 mm, 32 eyes (51.6%) were ≥12 mm, and 17 eyes (27.5%) had >13 mm. For the visual acuityafter glaucoma surgery, 7 eyes (11.2%) had blink reflex, 12 eyes (19.3%) had fix and follow, 27 eyes(43.5%) had optotype, 8 eyes (12.9%) had counting fingers, 7 eyes (11.2%) had hand movement, and1 eye (1.6%) had light perception. The accompanying disease of childhood glaucoma were oculartrauma (50%), uveitis (20%), proptosis (20%), and Sturge Weber syndrome (10%).Conclusion: The most frequent childhood glaucoma in Kariadi Hospital Semarang, the first diagnosisat the period of January 2012 to December 2014, were male, bilateral, congenital glaucoma, CDR>0.3, corneal diameter ≥12 mm, averagely occurred at age of 0-4 years, and could occur as result ofadvanced stage of glaucoma. Keywords: childhood glaucoma, congenital glaucoma, characteristics

Abstract

Background: Intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the primary risk factors of glaucoma. It is a modifiablerisk factor and can be affected by exercise. Some studies reported that physical exercise produced IOPreduction. The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between IOP reduction and frequencyof exercise.Methods: Thirty seven healthy subjects underwent IOP measurement on both eyes before andimmediately after 5 km of running. The frequency of exercise in a week was recorded and classifiedinto three groups: less than 2 times a week (group 1), 2-3 times a week (group 2), and more than 3times a week (group 3). IOP reductions were calculated and compared between groups. The data wereanalyzed with T-test for each group and ANOVA test for multivariate analysis.Results: There were 30 males and 7 females participated in this study. The mean age was 23.8±6.7years. After running up to 5 km, there was IOP reduction in each group frequency of exercise. Themean IOP reduction in group 1 was 0.20±2.5 mmHg (1.01%), in group 2 was 1.58±2.6 mmHg (8.60%),in group 3 was 1.31±3.0 mmHg (6.82%). IOP reductions in group 2 was statistically significant (p=0.019),compared to the other group. The multivariate analysis of three groups resulted in not significantcorrelation of IOP reduction and frequency of exercise (p=0.431).Conclusion: There was IOP reduction after running up to 5 km in each group frequency of exercise.However, there was no significant correlation of IOP reduction and frequency of exercise. Keywords: intraocular pressure, IOP, exercise

Abstract

Background: To compare myopic progression rates in junior high school in Yogyakarta betweenurban and rural areas.Methods: A school-based survey was initially conducted. Five junior high schools were selected inboth urban and rural areas. A longitudinal follow up study was conducted 1 year later. Age range from12 to 15 years old. The refractive state of each student was measured with autorefractometer.Results: A total of 195 junior high school children participated in the study. One hundred and ninteenchildren were from urban area and 76 children came from rural area. A follow up study after 1 year,mean myopic progression in junior high school in urban area was around 0.5 D/year faster than in rural,which was 0.37 D/year. There were statistically significant difference in nearwork activities betweenchildren in urban and rural areas, with p=<0.001. Risk factor such as gender and myop status of parentsdid not relate with myop progression, only age and sosioeconomic had significant effect into the myopprogression. Mean myopic progression in junior high school children (age 12-15) in the urban area wasaround -0.50 D/year. The average progression rate was fastest in 14 years old.Conclusion: There is significant difference in increasing of myop progression between junior highschool children in urban and rural areas. This difference may be related to difference of nearworkactivities between children in urban and rural areas. Keywords: myopia, urban, rural, myop progression, junior high school

Abstract

Background: Meningioma is the most common benign brain tumor which has several subtypes histopathologically.Previous studies indicate that progesterone receptors (PR) plays important role in thetumor behavior and may determine its prognosis. However, whether different subtypes show similarPR expression remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate PR expression, in many histopathologicalsubtypes of benign orbitocranial meningiomas.Methods: Eighty one patients visiting Sardjito General Hospital with benign orbitorcranial meningioma(WHO grade I) between 2010-2013 were included. Tumor specimens were obtained for histopathologyassessment and PR expression using immunohistochemistry examination, including the intensity ofexpression.Results: There were 72 (88.9%) women and 9 (22.2%) men, aged between 21-72 years old. PR waspositive in 71.6% patients (76.4% women). There were different subtypes of meningioma as follows:meningotheliomatous (44.4%), transitional (33.3%), and fibrous (14.8%). PR was positive in 72.2%meningotheliomatous, 70.4% in transitional, and 66.7% fibrous subtype. Other subtypes of benignmeningioma (microcystic, angiomatous, lymphoplamocyte-rich, and metaplastic) were not found inour study. But, this finding was not statistically significant using Pearson correlation test (p>0.05).Conclusion: The majority of patients with meningioma were women. The most common histopathologicalsubtypes were meningotheliomatous and transitional, of which more than 70% was PR positive.However, there were very little variations in PR expression among different subtypes of benign orbitocranialmeningioma. Keywords: orbitocranial meningioma, progesterone receptor (PR) expression, histopathological subtype

Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to know the difference between the effect of bevacizumaband curcumin as an antiangiogenesis towards the process of corneal epithelization on alkaline traumaon Wistar rat’s cornea.Methods: Experimental research with post test only control design using 28 Wistar rats pure strain gotNaOH 1 M exposure with the diameter 1 mm in the central of cornea. Random sampling was dividedinto 4 groups which each group got bevacizumab 25 mg/ml, balanced salt solution (BSS), curcumin 80μmol/l and dimethyl-sulfoxide (DMSO) 0.1% eye drops treatment for seven days, and the examinedthe process of epithelization of the cornea and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in the corneal epithelium.Results: We found very significant differences in corneal epithelization process after giving topicalbevacizumab 25 mg/ml and curcumin 80 μmol/l on the alkaline trauma in the cornea of Wistar rats,where corneal epithelization on Curcumin is better than bevacizumab (p=0.027). An expression ofVEGF in corneal epithelium between the alkaline trauma on the pure strain of Wistar rat significantlyis different with p=0.00, which the expression on the provision of VEGF bevacizumab is lighter thanthe provision of curcumin.Conclusion: Giving curcumin on the alkaline trauma of Wistar rat resulted in better epithelization.The expression of VEGF in topical bevacizumab were lighter than the provision of curcumin. Keywords: bevacizumab, curcumin, BSS, DMSO, NaOH, corneal epithelization
