We report a case of a patient with necrotizing infection of the conjunctiva and Tenon’s capsule caused by <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i>, a rare and atypical ophthalmologic condition. A 50-years-old male patient with acute red-eye, purulent discharge, and pain diagnosed with post-septal cellulitis presented with a yellowish and dense membrane covering the ocular surface with necrotic Tenon’s capsule. Patient was hospitalized, and intravenous antibiotics were initiated (ceftriaxone and clindamycin). Topical antibiotics and corticosteroids were also administered, and the infection was eradicated in 2 weeks. Ancillary exams excluded rheumatologic involvement. Conjunctival culture confirmed <i>Streptococcus pyogenes</i> growth. Tenon’s biopsy revealed unspecific acute inflammatory necrosis. This is an uncommon condition in daily ophthalmological clinic. Literature review reported 3 cases associated with previous ocular surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of lignocaine on growth and apoptosis indication of primary human Tenon’s capsule fibroblast (HTFs) in an in vitro model. Patients and Methods: Tenon’s capsule tissue obtained from patients undergoing trabeculectomy were grown in cell culture medium. The effect of different concentrations of lignocaine (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2%) on the morphology and growth of the fibroblasts was studied using microscopy, cell viability, and proliferation assay, and apoptosis was detected using the FITC Annexin V Apoptosis Kit. Results: Morphological changes similar to those of apoptotic cells, including cytoplasmic vacuolation, shrinkage, and rounding were visualized in the cells treated with concentrations greater than 1.0% (i.e., 1.5, 2.0%). Though proliferation inhibition was found with all four concentrations (0.5–2.0%), the viability of cells decreased from 1.0% lignocaine. Conclusion: 0.5% lignocaine prevents proliferation of fibroblasts without causing apoptosis in vitro.

The review considers recent experimental studies of biological activity and mechanisms of therapeutic action of rosmarinic acid, luteolin and its sulfated derivatives in diseases associated with disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Particular attention is focused on the results of studies showing a high therapeutic potential of these phenolic compounds in their prophylactic and therapeutic use at experimental modeling of type 2 diabetes and hyperlipidemia. Based on the analysis of our results and the literature data putative mechanisms of therapeutic action of rosmarinic acid, luteolin and its sulfated derivatives have been proposed.
