| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Glaucoma surgery models were made in six beagles. A maitomycin C (MMC)-loaded gelatin hydrogel (GH) was implanted under the conjunctiva of one eye (GH-MMC group) and 0.04% MMC-soaked sponges were placed under the conjunctiva of the other eye (MMC group) for 5 minutes.
In both groups, IOP reduction and bleb formation were maintained in a similar manner for 4 weeks postoperative. No significant difference in the ratio of conjunctival area to scleral area was found between the two groups. Collagen density and the numbers of fibroblasts and vessels were significantly lower in the MMC-treated group than in the GH- MMC treated group. No significant difference in PCNA-positive cells was found between the two groups.
Implantation of MMC-loaded GH ameliorated toxicity to conjunctiva compared with the 5-minute placement of MMC, whereas its effect on IOP reduction and bleb formation was similar. These results suggest that using GH for the application of MMC is a safer method.
