Purpose: To understand the molecular mechanisms of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR), the vitreous proteome in RRD patients with severe PVR (grade C or D) was investigated.

Methods: The analysis of the vitreous proteome in RRD patients with PVR (n = 24) and donor samples (n = 8) was analyzed by one-dimensional (1D) SDS-PAGE and reverse-phase liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (RP-LC-MS/MS). The data were analyzed using GeneGO MetaCore software. The research followed the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki for the use of human subjects.

Results: In total, 516 and 364 proteins were identified in the vitreous of RRD patients with PVR and donor samples, including 48 overlapping proteins. In the PVR vitreous samples, the levels of extracellular (EC) proteins were increased and the levels of cytoskeleton proteins were decreased. In the pathologic process of PVR, inflammation was identified as an important GeneGo network. Furthermore, the complement and coagulation cascade was the essential pathway. Among the interaction network, the key node proteins in this network were p53 and transcription factor E2F1, respectively.

Conclusions: 1D-SDS-PAGE coupled with RP-LC-MS/MS is a valuable resource to aid in the characterization of the proteome of RRD patients with PVR. Inflammation is the important pathologic process of PVR, while complement and coagulation cascade was the crucial pathway. p53 and E2F1 may be the new targets for successful treatment of RRD with PVR.

Aims: To compare the efficiency of scleral buckling (SB) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with or without SB in patients with primary simple phakic fovea-splitting rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: A retrospective case-control study included 101 patients aged <55 years diagnosed with phakic fovea-splitting RRD. The primary outcome was functional success, defined as achieving a postoperative logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution best-corrected visual acuity of 0.

Objective: To address the paucity of long-term data on outcomes following rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair we aimed to establish the 10-year best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), redetachment rate and lens status for patients from the Scottish Retinal Detachment Study.

Subjects: Data from patients who presented with RRD during the original study were collected from clinical records 10 years after repair. Patients were excluded if lacking 10 year follow-up data, and excluded from visual acuity analysis in the case of significant co-morbid ophthalmic disease.

Management of Pediatric Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

Wills Eye Hospital Mid Atlantic Retina, Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Introduction And Primary Objective: Pediatric rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management. A thorough evaluation of family, medical, and ocular history is helpful, as systemic and genetic conditions can predispose children to RRD. Trauma, high myopia, and history of prematurity are also common risk factors.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how the COVID-19 pandemic affected patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) at Farabi Eye Hospital in Iran, comparing patients from before and during the pandemic.
  • A total of 375 patients were analyzed, revealing that those referred during the pandemic had quicker referral and surgical wait times, but no significant changes in clinical characteristics or surgical outcomes.
  • The use of general anesthesia increased during the pandemic period, prompting the need for further research into this trend.
