To evaluate the influence of topically administered latanoprost, a prostaglandin F(2alpha) analog, on the corneal epithelial barrier function.
Twenty-four patients suffering from a glaucoma were enrolled. Ten patients without prior topical antiglaucoma medication received topical latanoprost (0.005%, once daily) for 30 days (monotherapy group); 14 patients receiving topical antiglaucoma medication also received latanoprost (0.005%, once daily) for 180 days (combination treatment group). Before and 30 days after treatment (monotherapy group) and before and 30 and 180 days after treatment (combination group), the corneal epithelial barrier function was measured by a fluorophotometric technique.
The fluorescein uptakes in the monotherapy group were 54.6 +/- (SE) 7.5 and 57.1 +/- 11.0 ng/ml before and 30 days after treatment, respectively (p = 0.81). In the combination group, the uptakes were 101.0 +/- 18.3 and 118.9 +/- 25.9 ng/ml (p = 0.38) and 93.4 +/- 17.5 ng/ml (p = 0.58) before and 30 and 180 days after treatment, respectively.
The corneal epithelial barrier function remained intact following the instillation of latanoprost in both groups.
评估局部应用前列腺素F(2α)类似物拉坦前列素对角膜上皮屏障功能的影响。
招募了24例青光眼患者。10例未曾使用过局部抗青光眼药物的患者局部应用拉坦前列素(0.005%,每日1次),持续30天(单药治疗组);14例正在接受局部抗青光眼药物治疗的患者也应用拉坦前列素(0.005%,每日1次),持续180天(联合治疗组)。在治疗前及治疗后30天(单药治疗组)以及治疗前、治疗后30天和180天(联合治疗组),采用荧光光度技术测量角膜上皮屏障功能。
单药治疗组治疗前及治疗后30天的荧光素摄取量分别为54.6±(标准误)7.5和57.1±11.0 ng/ml(p = 0.81)。联合治疗组治疗前、治疗后30天和180天的摄取量分别为101.0±18.3、118.9±25.9 ng/ml(p = 0.38)和93.4±17.5 ng/ml(p = 0.58)。
两组患者滴用拉坦前列素后,角膜上皮屏障功能均保持完整。
