UNASSIGNED: Prospective, randomized, interventional, double-masked, controlled, large-animal study with predetermined clinical and histopathologic outcome criteria.
UNASSIGNED: Half of the pigs were randomly assigned to receive an identical volume of aerosol-delivered normal saline (AD-NS) using identical delivery systems and treatment intervals.
UNASSIGNED: Proliferative vitreoretinopathy was surgically induced in 16 pigs (8 males and 8 females), randomly assigned to receive 2 doses (group A) or 3 doses (group B) of either AD-MTx (1.6 mg/0.4 ml) or normal saline (AD-NS). Group A pigs were euthanized at week 2 (n = 8), and group B pigs were euthanized at week 3 (n = 8). Masked clinical PVR scores (0-6) by a vitreoretinal surgeon and histopathology PVR scores (0-8) by a masked ophthalmic pathologist were used to determine outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: The mean, combined clinical and histopathology scores (both anterior and posterior) were used to determine the overall treatment effect between the groups.
UNASSIGNED: The mean masked score (± standard deviation) when all grading end points (clinical + histopathology) were combined was a mean of 8.0 ± 2.3 in the AD-MTx group versus a higher 9.9 ± 2.0 in the AD-NS control group (P = 0.05). The clinical score was 3.88 ± 1.2 in the AD-MTx group versus 4.63 ± 1.6 in the AD-NS group (P = 0.16). The histopathology score for anterior PVR was 2.5 ± 0.8 in the AD-MTx group versus 2.5 ± 0.5 in the AD-NS group (P = 0.50), and the posterior PVR was 1.63 ± 1.6 in the AD-MTx group versus 2.75 ± 1.3 in the AD-NS group (P = 0.07). When the frequency of methotrexate dosing in group A (2 doses) was compared with that in group B (3 doses), the mean score was 8.75 versus 9.13 (P = 0.38), respectively, suggesting an insignificant difference.
UNASSIGNED: After surgical induction of PVR in an aggressive, high-risk, large-animal model, AD-MTx reduced posterior PVR formation compared with AD-NS. Additional dosing at week 3 did not improve the outcomes. No difference in anterior PVR formation was noted with intervention. This novel drug delivery system has implications for PVR reduction and warrants further investigation.

■在16只猪(8只雄性和8只雌性)中手术诱发增生性玻璃体视网膜病变,随机分配接受2剂(A组)或3剂(B组)AD-MTx(1.6mg/0.4ml)或生理盐水(AD-NS)。A组猪在第2周安乐死(n=8),和B组猪在第3周安乐死(n=8)。使用玻璃体视网膜外科医生的隐性临床PVR评分(0-6)和隐性眼科病理学家的组织病理学PVR评分(0-8)来确定结果。
■意思是,联合临床和组织病理学评分(前后)用于确定组间的总体治疗效果.
■合并所有分级终点(临床+组织病理学)时,AD-MTx组的平均掩盖评分(±标准差)为8.0±2.3,而AD-NS对照组为9.9±2.0(P=0.05)。AD-MTx组的临床评分为3.88±1.2,AD-NS组为4.63±1.6(P=0.16)。前PVR的组织病理学评分在AD-MTx组为2.5±0.8,在AD-NS组为2.5±0.5(P=0.50)。AD-MTx组后PVR为1.63±1.6,AD-NS组为2.75±1.3(P=0.07)。当甲氨蝶呤给药频率在A组(2剂)与B组(3剂)比较时,平均得分为8.75和9.13(P=0.38),分别,暗示一个微不足道的差异。
■手术诱导PVR后,高风险,大型动物模型,与AD-NS相比,AD-MTx减少后部PVR形成。在第3周额外给药并没有改善结果。干预后,前PVR形成无差异。这种新型药物递送系统对减少PVR具有意义,值得进一步研究。
