Abstract

Introduction: Ophthalmic sponges are used for cleaning the eye surface and absorbing fluids during ophthalmic procedures. This study compared the biological safety and stability of a new ophthalmic sponge, Occucell® (OccuTech Inc, Seongnam, Korea), on the human conjunctival epithelial cells with those of preexisting products to evaluate its clinical application.Materials and Methods: The cytotoxicity of four products, Occucell, a new product, Ultracell®, Eyetec-1, and Eyetec-2, on conjunctival epithelial cells, was evaluated using the MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) analysis. Additionally, human conjunctival epithelial cells were stained with a Live & Dead marker and observed using a fluorescence microscope. To evaluate the effect of the ophthalmic sponges on the secretion of IL-1β and TNF-α, cultured conjunctival epithelial cells were treated with 0.5% DMSO eluates of the ophthalmic sponges, and IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA levels were estimated using real-time polymerase chain reaction assays.Results: Cells treated with Occucell showed comparable viability to those treated with other preexisting products. Conjunctival epithelial cells showed more than 90% viability when treated with the ophthalmic sponge extracts, as determined by the MTT assay. No significant differences in the number of live & dead cells were observed between the control and treatment groups. Cells treated with all four ophthalmic sponge eluates showed similar IL-1β and TNF-α mRNA levels.Discussion: Occucell, an eye sponge used during ophthalmic surgery in clinical practice, did not affect the viability of conjunctival epithelial cells, and more than 90% of the cells were viable after the treatment. Further, Occucell showed similar effects on IL-1β and TNF-α secretion as that of other ophthalmic sponges used in the clinic. This suggested that Occucell is a safe product comparable to the preexisting products.

一种新型眼科海绵的细胞毒性特征。
简介:在眼科手术中,眼科海绵用于清洁眼睛表面和吸收液体。本研究比较了新型眼科海绵Ococell®(韩国Seongnam,OccTech Inc)对人结膜上皮细胞的生物安全性和稳定性,并对其临床应用进行了评估。材料和方法:使用MTT(3-[4,5-二甲基噻唑-2-基]-2,5-二苯基四唑溴化物)分析评估新产品Ultracell®、Eyetec-1和Eyetec-2对结膜上皮细胞的细胞毒性。此外,用Live&Dead标记物对人结膜上皮细胞进行染色,并使用荧光显微镜进行观察。为了评估眼用海绵对IL-1β和TNF-α分泌的影响,用眼用海绵的0.5%二甲基亚砜洗脱液处理培养的结膜上皮细胞,并使用实时聚合酶链式反应测定IL-1β、TNF-αmRNA水平。结果:用Occcell处理的细胞显示出与用其他预先存在的产物处理的细胞相当的活力。MTT法测定,当用眼海绵提取物处理时,结膜上皮细胞显示出90%以上的活力。对照组和治疗组之间未观察到活细胞和死细胞数量的显著差异。用所有四种眼部海绵洗脱液处理的细胞显示出相似的IL-1β和TNF-αmRNA水平。讨论:Occcell是临床上眼科手术中使用的一种眼部海绵,它不会影响结膜上皮细胞的生存能力,治疗后90%以上的细胞是存活的。此外,Occcell对IL-1β和TNF-α分泌的影响与临床上使用的其他眼用海绵相似。这表明Occcell是一种与现有产品相当的安全产品。
