Pengaruh Transplantasi Sel Punca Mesenkimal dalam Mempertahankan Sel Ganglion pada Pasien Glaukoma Stadium Akhir Image
Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells transplantation enhances nerve growth factor synthesis, brain derived nerve factor, glial cell line-derived neurotropic factor, and neurotrophin-3.. We report four end-stage primary open angle glaucoma patients, consisting of three males and one female with a median age of 68 years old, treated at RSCM on September 2017. Visual acuity ranged between 1/300 to 2/60 and intraocular pressure (IOP) between 10-14 mmHg. All patients underwent allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells transplantation derived from umbilical cord by subtenon injection and evaluated the results of the potential evoked retinograph and average thickness of ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GC-IPL). Three months later, two patients admitted their vision was improved. with, no significant anatomical structure changes were observed. While two other patients did not report any significant effects.
