In 2023, Xdemvy® (0.25% lotilaner ophthalmic solution) was approved by the U.S. FDA for treating Demodex blepharitis in humans. This article reviews lotilaner's history, physicochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, pharmacology, clinical outcomes, and other indications for which it is being evaluated clinically. Furthermore, the article discusses Demodex blepharitis, alternative treatments used in the clinic to ameliorate its symptoms, and other drugs in development. Prior to its approval in humans, lotilaner found extensive application in treating parasitic infections in cats and dogs. Lotilaner was previously approved in 2017 as an oral veterinary medicine (Credelio®) for canines to treat demodicosis, other mite infections, and tick infections. Lotilaner belongs to the isoxazoline class of drugs and is a potent arthropod-selective gamma-aminobutyric acid-gated chloride ion channel inhibitor. Like several other drugs in the isoxazoline class, lotilaner has a long plasma half-life and high plasma protein binding of about 99.9%. When used as indicated, lotilaner treats infested Demodex blepharitis in 42 days, with its antiparasitic action starting within 24 h. Furthermore, lotilaner is also being evaluated for its efficacy in other conditions such as Lyme disease and dry eye disease. Other products evaluated for treating Demodex blepharitis include ivermectin eye ointment, ivermectin-metronidazole gel, permethrin cream, terpinen-4-ol wipes, and hypochlorous acid spray. Along with these, azithromycin eye drop, azithromycin/loteprednol eye drop, and other treatments are being evaluated for treating blepharitis. Other drugs from the isoxazoline drug class including afoxolaner, sarolaner, and fluralaner, could also be potentially explored for human use.

Corticosteroid use as an anti-inflammatory agent in infective conjunctivitis has been met with concerns about prolonged infection. This systematic review aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of corticosteroids as a treatment for infective conjunctivitis. A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Embase, and ProQuest for clinical trials of topical corticosteroids with or without combination with other medications in bacterial or viral conjunctivitis up to November 2023. The studies were screened, and data on safety and efficacy were extracted. The quality of studies was assessed using the Jadad Scale. Meta-analysis was performed using the random-effects model, with heterogeneity assessed with the I2 statistic. We found ten clinical trials that met the inclusion criteria. Overall meta-analysis revealed significant clinical resolution in dexamethasone-containing therapy compared to non-corticosteroid treatment (OR 1.51; 95% CI 1.19-1.92), with several studies reporting significantly reduced clinical symptoms severity. Two of the six studies assessing viral and bacterial eradication reported significantly improved viral clearance rates. Meta-analysis indicated no difference in ocular adverse effects compared to nonsteroid therapy (OR 1.33; 95% CI 0.82-2.16). In conclusion, corticosteroid use in infective conjunctivitis is relatively safe and may help improve clinical resolution and reduce symptom severity, especially when combined with antibiotics and antiseptics.

将皮质类固醇作为抗炎药物用于感染性结膜炎时,人们对其是否会延长感染时间表示担忧。本系统综述旨在评估皮质类固醇治疗感染性结膜炎的安全性和有效性。我们在 PubMed、Cochrane、Scopus、ScienceDirect、Embase 和 ProQuest 上全面检索了截至 2023 年 11 月有关局部皮质类固醇与其他药物联合或不联合治疗细菌性或病毒性结膜炎的临床试验。对这些研究进行了筛选,并提取了安全性和有效性数据。研究质量采用 Jadad 量表进行评估。采用随机效应模型进行元分析,并用 I2 统计量评估异质性。我们发现有十项临床试验符合纳入标准。总体荟萃分析显示,与非皮质类固醇治疗相比,含地塞米松的治疗可显著缓解临床症状(OR 1.51;95% CI 1.19-1.92),其中有几项研究报告称临床症状的严重程度明显减轻。在六项评估病毒和细菌根除情况的研究中,有两项报告称病毒清除率明显提高。Meta 分析表明,与非类固醇疗法相比,眼部不良反应没有差异(OR 1.33;95% CI 0.82-2.16)。总之,在感染性结膜炎中使用皮质类固醇相对安全,有助于改善临床症状的缓解和减轻症状的严重程度,尤其是在与抗生素和抗菌药联合使用时。

Are Alpha-2 Adrenergic Agonists Being Used in Infants? α-2肾上腺素能激动剂是否用于婴儿?
IF 1.9 4区 医学 Q2 OPHTHALMOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-03-01 Epub Date: 2024-08-22 DOI: 10.1089/jop.2024.0095

Purpose: To identify and quantify adverse events (AEs) associated with alpha-2 adrenergic agonists prescribed for the treatment of glaucoma in infants. Methods: We queried the Federal Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) from 2004-2023Q1 for AE reports related to brimonidine use in patients aged 12 months or younger. We then conducted a disproportionality analysis using data mining algorithms, including the reporting odds ratio, proportional reporting ratio, empirical bayes geometric mean, and information component to identify significant symptoms. Results: We identified 35 unique AE reports associated with brimonidine. Of these, 27 cases involved hospitalization, 13 cases involved life-threatening complications, 18 cases reported other complications, and 1 case involved a congenital anomaly. The most commonly reported AE was hypotonia, occurring in 20 cases. This was followed by other systemic symptoms, including hypothermia, depressed level of consciousness, lethargy, general toxicity, and pallor, among others. All symptoms were found to be significant in the disproportionality analysis. Notably, most cases were not known to involve an ophthalmic route of exposure. Conclusions: The use of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists in infants aged 1 year or younger has been associated with various systemic AEs, including hypotension, respiratory depression, and central nervous system depression. Ophthalmologists should be aware of these potential risks. Further, more rigorous warnings should be in place to prevent unintentional exposure of infants to brimonidine.

目的:确定并量化与治疗婴儿青光眼的α-2肾上腺素能激动剂处方相关的不良事件(AEs)。方法: 我们查询了 2004 年的联邦不良事件数据库:我们查询了联邦不良事件报告系统(FAERS)2004-2023Q1的数据,以了解与12个月或12个月以下患者使用溴莫尼定相关的AE报告。然后,我们使用数据挖掘算法(包括报告几率比、报告比例比、经验贝叶斯几何平均数和信息组件)进行了比例失调分析,以确定重要症状。结果:我们确定了 35 例与溴莫尼定相关的 AE 报告。其中,27例涉及住院治疗,13例涉及危及生命的并发症,18例报告了其他并发症,1例涉及先天性异常。最常见的不良反应是肌张力减退,有20例。其次是其他全身症状,包括体温过低、意识减退、嗜睡、全身中毒和面色苍白等。所有症状在比例失调分析中均有显著意义。值得注意的是,大多数病例并不涉及眼部接触途径。结论1 岁或 1 岁以下婴儿使用α-2 肾上腺素能激动剂与各种全身性 AE 相关,包括低血压、呼吸抑制和中枢神经系统抑制。眼科医生应了解这些潜在风险。此外,应制定更严格的警告措施,防止婴儿无意中接触溴莫尼定。

Background/Aims: To investigate the effectiveness of re-esterified triglyceride form of omega 3 (rTG-omega 3) on patients with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) after cataract surgery. Methods: This multicenter, randomized, investigator-blinded, clinical study was conducted between June 2021 and March 2023 and enrolled 107 patients with MGD who had undergone cataract surgery within 3 months at seven sites across South Korea. Patients were randomly assigned to rTG-omega 3 group or a control group. We compared (1) tear film break-up time (TBUT) (s), (2) corneal fluorescein staining score [National Eye Institute/Industry (NEI) scale], (3) conjunctival fluorescein staining score (NEI scale), (4) strip meniscometry (SM) tube score (mm), (5) MGD stage, (6) MG quality, (7) MG expressibility, (8) Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness (SPEED) score, and (9) Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores at baseline and 6 and 12 weeks. Results: TBUT, corneal fluorescein staining score, and SM tube score were significantly improved in the rTG-omega 3 group compared with control group (P = 0.005, P = 0.003, and P = 0.0049, respectively). Subjective questionnaire responses were also improved significantly (SPEED score, P = 0.022; OSDI score, P = 0.0011). MGD parameters were not significantly different. However, during subanalysis, significant improvements in MG quality and expressibility were observed in the MGD stage 4 group with rTG-omega 3 supplementation (P = 0.0177 and P = 0.0205, respectively). Discussion: rTG-omega 3 supplementation facilitated improvements in both objective and subjective parameters. In particular, MG quality and expressibility were significantly improved in the severe MGD group.

N-Methyl-d-Aspartate-Induced Excitotoxicity and Its Impact on the Renin-Angiotensin System in Retinal Tissue. n-甲基-d-天冬氨酸诱导的兴奋毒性及其对视网膜组织肾素-血管紧张素系统的影响。
IF 1.9 4区 医学 Q2 OPHTHALMOLOGY Pub Date : 2025-03-01 Epub Date: 2024-12-13 DOI: 10.1089/jop.2024.0131

Purpose: Renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is expressed in neuronal tissue and plays a role in neurodegenerative diseases involving excitotoxicity as a pathophysiological mechanism. In retina, excessive excitatory neurotransmission via N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors underlies neuronal apoptosis in conditions like glaucoma. However, it is not known if NMDA-mediated excitotoxicity alters retinal RAS expression. Hence, this study investigated the effect of NMDA exposure on the expression of RAS in rat retinas. Methods: Two groups of Sprague-Dawley rats received either phosphate buffer saline or NMDA (160 nmol). On day 7 posttreatment, retinal expression of RAS components including renin, angiotensinogen, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin II (Ang II), Ang 1-7, Ang 1-9, MAS receptor, angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R), ACE2, and aldosterone was measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and polymerase chain reaction. Morphometric studies were done to assess morphological alterations. Results: Following the exposure to NMDA, an upregulation of ACE expression was noted at both the protein (2.03-folds; P < 0.001) and mRNA (1.86-folds; P < 0.01) levels in rat retinas. AT1R protein and mRNA expression were greater by 1.73 (P < 0.0001) and 2.28-folds (P < 0.0001), respectively. However, mRNA expression for ACE2, Ang 1-7, and Ang 1-9, showed a 1.51-(P < 0.05), 2.41-(P < 0.001), and 2.37-(P < 0.0001) fold decrease. Ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness and linear cell density in GCL were significantly lower in the NMDA-treated group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: NMDA exposure increases expression of the classical RAS and suppresses that of alternate RAS in rat retinas. These alterations are associated with retinal morphological changes indicating significant loss of neuronal cells in the GCL of rat retinas.

目的:肾素-血管紧张素系统(Renin-angiotensin system, RAS)在神经组织中表达,并作为一种病理生理机制参与神经退行性疾病的兴奋性毒性。在视网膜中,通过n -甲基-d-天冬氨酸(NMDA)受体的过度兴奋性神经传递是青光眼等疾病中神经元凋亡的基础。然而,目前尚不清楚nmda介导的兴奋性毒性是否会改变视网膜RAS的表达。因此,本研究探讨了NMDA暴露对大鼠视网膜RAS表达的影响。方法:两组大鼠分别给予磷酸缓冲盐水和NMDA (160 nmol)。治疗后第7天,采用酶联免疫吸附法和聚合酶链反应检测视网膜RAS成分肾素、血管紧张素原、血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)、血管紧张素II (Ang II)、Ang 1-7、Ang 1-9、MAS受体、血管紧张素II 1型受体(AT1R)、ACE2和醛固酮的表达。形态计量学研究评估形态学改变。结果:暴露于NMDA后,ACE蛋白表达上调(2.03倍;P < 0.001)和mRNA(1.86倍;P < 0.01)。AT1R蛋白和mRNA的表达量分别增加了1.73倍(P < 0.0001)和2.28倍(P < 0.0001)。而ACE2、Ang 1-7和Ang 1-9的mRNA表达量分别下降了1.51-(P < 0.05)、2.41-(P < 0.001)和2.37-(P < 0.0001)倍。nmda处理组大鼠神经节细胞层(GCL)厚度和线状细胞密度显著降低(P < 0.05)。结论:NMDA暴露增加大鼠视网膜经典RAS的表达,抑制交替RAS的表达。这些改变与视网膜形态学改变有关,表明大鼠视网膜GCL中神经元细胞的显著损失。

However, mRNA expression for ACE2, Ang 1-7, and Ang 1-9, showed a 1.51-(<i>P</i> < 0.05), 2.41-(<i>P</i> < 0.001), and 2.37-(<i>P</i> < 0.0001) fold decrease. Ganglion cell layer (GCL) thickness and linear cell density in GCL were significantly lower in the NMDA-treated group (<i>P</i> < 0.05). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> NMDA exposure increases expression of the classical RAS and suppresses that of alternate RAS in rat retinas.

Uveitis remains one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, with different etiologies requiring separate approaches to treatment. For over a decade, oral, topical, and local injection of corticosteroids as well as systemic conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) have remained the most effective treatment for noninfectious uveitis (NIU). Systemic administration of antitumor necrosis factor-α and other biological DMARDs have been used for treating cases that responded inadequately to conventional treatments. Unfortunately, some refractory patients still suffer from frequent attacks despite the combination of multiple treatments. Recently, there has been promising evidence for Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors as the next-generation therapy for NIU. The JAK/signal transducers and activators of the transcription (STAT) signaling pathway mediate the downstream events involved in immune fitness, tissue repair, inflammation, apoptosis, and adipogenesis by binding various ligands, such as cytokines, growth hormones, and growth factors. The mutation or loss of JAK/STAT components is implicated in autoimmune diseases, thus inhibition of such pathways has been an important area of research in therapeutic development.1 In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the efficacy and safety of JAK inhibitors for the management of NIU, with evidence from current trials and case reports.

葡萄膜炎仍然是全球致盲的主要原因之一,不同的病因需要不同的治疗方法。十多年来,非感染性葡萄膜炎(NIU)最有效的治疗方法仍然是口服、局部外用和局部注射皮质类固醇,以及全身使用传统的改变病情抗风湿药物(DMARDs)。抗肿瘤坏死因子-α和其他生物DMARDs已被用于治疗对常规治疗反应不佳的病例。遗憾的是,尽管联合使用了多种治疗方法,一些难治性患者的病情仍会频繁发作。最近,有证据表明,Janus 激酶(JAK)抑制剂有望成为治疗 NIU 的新一代疗法。JAK/信号转导和激活转录(STAT)信号通路通过与细胞因子、生长激素和生长因子等各种配体结合,介导涉及免疫功能、组织修复、炎症、细胞凋亡和脂肪生成的下游事件。JAK/STAT 成分的突变或缺失与自身免疫性疾病有关,因此抑制此类通路一直是治疗开发的重要研究领域1。

Objective: To describe the clinical effects of a novel, combined ocular lubricant for treating patients with dry eye disease. Methods: A noncomparative, retrospective cohort of 67 eyes (67 patients) with a confirmed diagnosis of dry eye disease using the ocular surface disease index (>12), tear osmolarity, and ocular surface parameters (noninvasive break-up time, meniscus height, and meibography) evaluated using the Cornea550 were included. All patients were treated with a combination of 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose, glycerin 0.9%, and trehalose 3% with a dosing regimen of one drop four times a day for 1 month with a final evaluation of the same parameters. Results: We included 67 eyes (80.6% females) with a mean age of 48.3 ± 16.2 years (standard deviation [SD]). In total, 37% of the subjects had comorbidities such as hypothyroidism (9%), ocular rosacea (4%), Sjogren's syndrome (4%), and arterial hypertension (4%). Of these, 34% were taking systemic medications and 56.7% had previous ocular surgery. The mean ocular surface disease index score before treatment was 57.6 ± 17.2 (SD) and 22.2 ± 12.9 points (SD) after treatment (P < 0.05). Other parameters such as noninvasive break-up time, meniscus height, and meibography improved without a statistically significant difference. Conclusion: Cristal Tears Plus is a novel, combined, and multipurpose treatment for dry eye disease.

目的描述一种治疗干眼症患者的新型复合眼部润滑剂的临床效果。方法:使用 Cornea550 评估眼表疾病指数(>12)、泪液渗透压和眼表参数(无创破裂时间、半月板高度和甲状腺造影),对确诊为干眼症的 67 只眼睛(67 名患者)进行非比较性、回顾性队列研究。所有患者均接受了 0.5%羧甲基纤维素、0.9% 甘油和 3% 曲海尔糖的联合治疗,用药方案为每天四次,每次一滴,持续一个月,最后评估相同的参数。结果我们共纳入了 67 只眼睛(80.6% 为女性),平均年龄为 48.3 ± 16.2 岁(标准差 [SD])。共有 37% 的受试者患有合并症,如甲状腺功能减退症(9%)、眼部酒渣鼻(4%)、Sjogren 综合征(4%)和动脉高血压(4%)。其中,34%的患者正在服用全身性药物,56.7%的患者曾接受过眼部手术。治疗前的平均眼表疾病指数为 57.6 ± 17.2(标清)分,治疗后为 22.2 ± 12.9(标清)分(P < 0.05)。其他参数,如无创角膜破裂时间、半月板高度和睑板腺造影均有所改善,但差异无统计学意义。结论Cristal Tears Plus 是一种治疗干眼症的新型、联合、多用途疗法。
