Introduction The studies of corneal endothelial cell apoptosis
after argon laser iridotomy Not many so far
10
Purpose To evaluate the corneal endothelial damage after argon laser iridotomy through several stain methods of corneal endothelium and suggest an animal-model for the study of corneal endothelial cell apoptosis.
11
Methods 12 Pigmented rabbits
OD : argon laser iridotomy OS : normal eye (control) One argon laser iridotomy was performed on each quadrant of iris Power : 500 mW Duration : 200 ms Interval : 300 ms Counts : 400 times
12
Methods Measuring the corneal thickness Pre-laser iridotomy(OU)
Post-laser iridotomy(OD) (immediately, 1day, 2days, 3days, 4days) by using ultrasound corneal pachymetry The BVI Pocket Pachymeter (BV International, Clermont-Ferrand, France)
13
Methods Identification of Corneal endothelial cell damage H & E stain
Alizarin red/Trypan blue stain TUNEL stain Live/Dead cell assay Endothelial cell count (in 0.04mm2 sized square)
14
Results The change of Corneal thickness
15
Results : H&E stain Post-LI control Post-LI #1day Post-LI #4day
16
Results : TUNEL stain Post-LI control
17
Results : Alizarin red/trypan blue stain
Post-LI #1day Post-LI #4day X 10 X 20 X 20 Post-LI X 40 X 20 control X 40
18
Results Corneal endothelial cell count (#4day) P-value : 0.02 Rabbit
Cell count( /mm2) Normal eye Post-LI 1 5675 4050 2 5300 4725 3 5325 4350 4 5250 4375 mean 5387.5 P-value : 0.02

Results : Live/Dead cell assay
Post-LI #1day X20 X40 X20 X40 Post-LI Post-LI #4day normal X10 X20 X10 X20
23
IL-1b IHC Laser Tx Post-LI #1day Control
24
Conclusion H & E stain and Alizarin red/Trypan blue stain are less sensitive methods to evaluate corneal endothelial damage after argon laser iridotomy than TUNEL stain or live/dead cell assay. Evaluation of corneal endothelial damage after argon laser iridotomy in pigmented rabbit eyes is thought to be a good animal-model for the study of corneal endothelial cell apoptosis.
