简介:目的本研究针对初发性翼状胬肉局部使用丝裂霉素C(MMC)一次性注射治疗,用免疫组织化学方法对经MMC治疗的翼状胬肉标本中血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和转化生长因子(TGF-β_1)的表达进行分析研究,并与未使用MMC治疗者的翼状胬肉标本作对比。观察局部注射MMC对翼状胬肉组织中VEGF和TGF-β_1的表达的影响。方法需手术者共19例20眼,随机分为二组:A组直接切除胬肉,留标本作免疫组织化学检查;B组于翼状胬肉颈部进针,向胬肉组织内局部注射MMC,0.1~0.2ml(0.4mg/ml),3周至10周后手术切除胬肉,留标本作免疫组织化学检查。分别对A、B二组标本中VEGF和TGF-β_1的表达进行分析研究。结果A组VEGF、TGF-β_1的表达较B组高,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论丝裂霉素C翼状胬肉局部注射可以抑制静止期翼状胬肉中VEGF、TGF-β_1因子的表达。MMC在低浓度、低剂量下使用未出现眼部严重并发症。
