Sistemas genéticos para un nuevo abordaje del riesgo de progresión de la retinopatía diabética
Resumen Objetivo Evaluar el riesgo de progresion de la retinopatia diabetica (RD) utilizando nuevas estrategias para obtener informacion genetica en diabeticos tipo 2 (DT2) basadas en interferencia por acido ribonucleico (ARN). Material y metodos Estudio multicentrico, prospectivo de casos-controles en 132 participantes divididos en: grupo DT2 (GDT2) con RD (+RD) y sin RD (−RD) (n = 77) y grupo control (GC) (n = 55). Tras entrevista personal y examen oftalmologico, se extrajeron lagrimas para analisis molecular (expresion de micro-ARN [miARN] [miRCURY™ ARN Isolation Kit, Qiagen]). En 18 muestras (GDT2+RD = 6; GDT2–RD = 6; GC = 6) obtuvimos librerias de 137 vs. 140 pares de bases (GeneMapper…
Efficacy and safety study of an eyelid gel after repeated nocturnal application in healthy contact lens users and non-users
Purpose: To evaluate skin biocompatibility of a nighttime hydrating eyelid gel and possible ocular surface effects in contact lens users (CLU) and non-contact lens users (NCLU). The formulation is registered as a medical device as Tridocosahexaenoine-AOX® (TDHA-AOX) (a concentrated DHA triglyceride), containing also hyaluronic acid (HA). Methods: A prospective, randomized, masked clinical trial was performed with 62 participants of both sexes, aged 20–70 years, split into: (1) CLU (n = 30) and (2) NCLU (n = 32). All participants were instructed to apply a single dose of the moisturizing gel (containing TDHA-AOX and HA) nightly to the upper and inner eyelids of their right eye (RE) only, and…
