    Mesenchymal stem cells differentiate to retinal ganglion-like cells in rat glaucoma model induced by polystyrene microspheres
    (2023-10-01) ERASLAN, MUHSİN; ÇERMAN, EREN; BOZKURT, SÜHEYLA; AKKOÇ, TUNÇ; ERASLAN M., ÇERMAN E., BOZKURT S., Genç D., Virlan A. T., Demir C. S., Akkoç T., Karaöz E., AKKOÇ T.
    Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the differentiation ability of intravitreally injected rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBM-MSCs) to retinal ganglion-like cells in a polystyrene microsphere induced rat glaucoma model. Materials and Methods: The glaucoma rat model was generated via intracameral injection of 7 microliter polystyrene microspheres. Green fluorescence protein-labeled (GFP) rBM-MSCs were transplanted intravitreally at or after induction of ocular hypertension (OHT), depending on the groups. By the end of the fourth week, flat-mount retinal dissection was performed, and labeled against Brn3a, CD90, GFAP, CD11b, Vimentin, and localization of GFP positive rBM-MSCs was used for evaluation through immunofluorescence staining and to count differentiated retinal cells by flow cytometry. From 34 male Wistar albino rats, 56 eyes were investigated. Results: Flow cytometry revealed significantly increased CD90 and Brn3a positive cells in glaucoma induced and with rBM-MSC injected groups compared to control(P = 0.006 and P = 0.003 respectively), sham-operated (P = 0.007 and P < 0.001 respectively), and only rBM-MSCs injected groups (P = 0.002 and P = 0.009 respectively). Immunofluorescence microscopy revealed differentiation of GFP labeled stem cells to various retinal cells, including ganglion-like cells. rBM-MSCs were observable in ganglion cells, inner and outer nuclear retinal layers in rBM-MSCs injected eyes. Conclusion: Intravitreally transplanted rBM-MSCs differentiated into retinal cells, including ganglion-like cells, which successfully created a glaucoma model damaged with polystyrene microspheres. Promisingly, MSCs may have a role in neuro-protection and neuro-regeneration treatment of glaucoma in the future.

    Effect of age on primary balloon dacryocystoplasty and probing success in congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction
    (2022-11-01) ÇERMAN, EREN; SEVİK, MEHMET ORKUN; ERASLAN, MUHSİN; DERİCİOĞLU, VOLKAN; DERİCİOĞLU V., Sevik M. O., Sacu S. S., ERASLAN M., ÇERMAN E.
    Purpose To compare the success rates of balloon dacryocystoplasty (BDP) and probing as a primary procedure in congenital nasolacrimal duct obstruction (CNLDO) and investigate the effect of age on both procedures. Methods A total of 135 patients (171 eyes) with simple and incomplete complex CNLDO were included in this retrospective study; complete complex CNLDO cases were excluded. The success rates for primary BDP (118 eyes) and for probing (53 eyes) were compared overall and among the age groups; Group 1 (12-24 months old), Group 2 (25-36 months old), and Group 3 (> 36 months old). Results Mean age of the patients was 41.5 +/- 27.2 months for primary BDP, and 21.8 +/- 10.8 months for probing (p < 0.001). Overall success rates for primary BDP and probing were 81.1% (43/53) and 76.3% (90/118), respectively (p = 0.481). Success rates for BDP and probing among age groups were 93.8% and 85.3% in Group 1 (p = 0.360), 93.3% and 50.0% in Group 2 (p = 0.012), and 63.6% and 27.3% in Group 3 (p = 0.052), respectively. Cox regression analysis showed that the median ages were 18 months for probing and 36 months for primary BDP. The Poisson regression model showed that for every 1-month increase in patients\" age, the success rate of probing decreased by 9.7%. Conclusion Probing success decreased to a point where different treatment options such as primary BDP can be discussed with the patients\" parents after 18 months of age. The success of BDP decreased after 36 months, while it maintained a high success rate between 24 and 36 months as primary treatment.
