Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate thiol/disulfide homeostasis and ischemia-modified albumin levels with primary open-angle glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and control group; also to interpret the correlation between these biochemical parameters and retinal nerve fiber layer analysis. Material and methods: In a prospective cross-sectional study, 30 primary open-angle glaucoma cases, 30 ocular hypertension cases, and 30 control subjects were included in the study. Native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide measurements and disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol, and native thiol/total thiol ratios were evaluated as thiol–disulfide homeostasis. Albumin and ischemia-modified albumin parameters were also evaluated. All cases underwent detailed ophthalmologic examination including visual acuity, retinal nerve fiber layer via optical coherence tomography, intraocular pressure, and central corneal thickness measurements and visual field analysis by 24-2 Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA) Standard visual field test. Results: Primary open-angle glaucoma group had significantly higher ischemia-modified albumin values than ocular hypertension and control group (p < 0.001). Native thiol and total thiol values of control group were statistically higher than those of primary open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension groups. The correlation between the temporal retinal nerve fiber layer value and ischemia-modified albumin, disulfide/native thiol, and disulfide/total thiol values of the primary open-angle glaucoma patients included in the study was moderate correlation in negative direction (r = –0.46, r = –0.39, r = –0.39, respectively), whereas there was a statistically significant moderate correlation in positive direction between the native thiol/total thiol values (r = 0.39) (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings have reinforced the role of oxidative stress in the etiopathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma, suggesting that the thinning retinal nerve fiber layer may be associated with oxidative stress in favor of prooxidant shift.

Purpose: To study the pattern electroretinogram changes in primary open-angle glaucoma patients in correlation with visual field changes and optical coherence tomography measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness in the peripapillary region in an attempt to evaluate the clinical value of pattern electroretinogram as an objective test of functional deficit in glaucoma. Patients and Methods: The study included 81 eyes of 81 participants: 50 primary open-angle glaucoma patients, 16 primary open-angle glaucoma suspects, and 15 controls. All subjects underwent visual field testing using 24-2 Humphrey standard automated perimetry, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness using the 3.4-mm circular scan of the Heidelberg OCT spectralis and pattern electroretinogram using CSO RetiMax device in accordance with the International Society for Clinical Electrophysiology of Vision guidelines. Results: We had three main groups: normal, glaucoma suspect, and primary open-angle glaucoma patients, and the last group included three subgroups: mild, moderate, and severe. There was significant difference in the visual field mean deviation, peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness, and most pattern electroretinogram measured parameters between the three main groups and in between primary open-angle glaucoma subgroups. There was significant positive correlation between visual field mean deviation and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness, P50 amplitude, and P50–N95 amplitude (p < 0.001, p = 0.018, and p < 0.001, respectively). Significant negative correlation was also found between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness and N95 amplitude (p < 0.001). Significant positive correlation was found between retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness and P50–N95 amplitude (p = 0.001). Significant negative correlation was found between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness and N95 amplitude (p = 0.001) and significant positive correlation of retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness with P50–N95 amplitude (p = 0.017) in primary open-angle glaucoma patients. Conclusion: Peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer average thickness shows significant negative correlation with pattern electroretinogram N95 amplitude and a significant positive correlation with P50–N95 amplitude. In combination with optical coherence tomography, pattern electroretinogram can be used to objectively assess functional loss in glaucoma.

AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menilai pengaruh lamanya pemberian citicoline dalam memperbaiki kualitas RNFL dan lapang pandangan pada POAG. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada pasien POAG yang datang dari bulan September 2010 – Januari 2011 dengan tehnik consecutive sampling. Semua subjek penelitian yang sudah diskrining dilakukan pemeriksaan OCT dan perimetri segera sebelum pemberian citicoline, pemeriksaan ulangan dilakukan setelah 10 hari pertama, 10 hari kedua, dan 10 hari ketiga pemberian citicoline. Dari penelitian ini didapatkan perbaikan ketebalan RNFL dengan pemeriksaan OCT lebih banyak terjadi pada pemberian citicoline selama 10 hari III (45.7%) dibandingkan dengan pemberian 10 hari I (25,7%) dan 10 hari II (42,9%). Perbaikan mean sensitivity lapang pandangan dengan pemeriksaan perimetri lebih banyak terjadi pada pemberian citicoline selama 10 hari III (51,4%) dibandingkan dengan pemberian 10 hari I (32.4%) dan 10 hari II (37.2%). Lama pemberian citicoline sangat berpengaruh meningkatkan ketebalan RNFL dengan pemeriksaan OCT dan mean sensitivity lapang pandangan dengan pemeriksaan perimetri pada pasien POAG dan bermakna secara statistik dengan p=0.000 dan p=0.001Kata kunci: Primary Open Angle Glaucoma, Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer, CiticolineAbstractThe objective of this study was to assessing the influence of duration of citicoline administration in improve the quality of RNFL and visual field in POAG.

The measurement of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness can help significantly in the early diagnosis of glaucoma and monitoring of its progression. The objective of this study was to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness by optical coherence tomography in primary open angle glaucoma, glaucoma suspects and normal Nepalese population. This was a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted in the Ophthalmology Out Patient Department of Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara. Total 100 numbers of subjects (40 primary open angle glaucoma, 30 glaucoma suspects and 30 normal people) were evaluated. Complete ophthalmological examinations including tonometry, gonioscopy, optical coherence tomography, perimetry were performed. Statistical analysis was carried out using Epi-info 7. The result showed that the average retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was 70.22±12.07μm in right eye and 69.42±11.53μm in left eye in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), 88.87±10.39μm in right eye and 88.73±9.59μm in left eye in glaucoma suspects (GS) and 94.40±9.21μm in right eye and 94.73±6.76μm in left eye in normal group respectively. The mean RNFL thickness was statistically significant in all three comparison groups except in nasal quadrant. The mean RNFL thickness was statistically significant in two comparison groups except in GS-Normal (nasal and temporal quadrant), GS-POAG (left nasal quadrant) and Normal-POAG (left nasal quadrant). The study concluded that the RNFL thickness is lower in POAG as compared to glaucoma suspects and normal group in the Nepalese population.
