| Abstract | PURPOSE: The association between aqueous humor levels of various growth/inflammatory factors or cytokines and the severity of macular edema was investigated in patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). METHODS: Aqueous humor levels of 11 factors or cytokines were measured in CRVO patients with macular edema (n = 38) and in cataract patients (n = 15) as controls. Aqueous humor samples were obtained from the patients during surgery and the levels of VEGF, its receptors, and other factors or cytokines were measured by the suspension array method. The severity of macular edema was determined by measuring the central macular thickness, neurosensory retinal thickness, and subfoveal serous retinal thickness with optical coherence tomography. RESULTS: Aqueous humor levels of growth factors, soluble VEGF receptor 1 (sVEGFR-1), sVEGFR-2, and inflammatory factors or cytokines were significantly higher in the CRVO group than in the control group. The aqueous level of sVEGFR-1 was significantly correlated with the neurosensory retinal thickness, as well as with the levels of growth factors (VEGF, placental growth factor, and platelet-derived growth factor-AA) and inflammatory factors/cytokines (monocyte chemotactic protein-1, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8). Aqueous humor levels of the three growth factors also were significantly correlated with each other, as were levels of the two sVEGFRs. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that growth/inflammatory factors and cytokines have an important role in macular edema associated with CRVO. Better understanding of the mechanisms involved may lead to development of new treatments, such as anti-VEGFR-1 therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
