Abstract

Purpose: To compare the manganese (Mn), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni) concentrations of the lenses in senil cataract patients with and without pseudoexfoliation (PEX). Materials and Methods: Twenty-five patients with PEX and 25 patients with senil cataract as control group, were enrolled in the study. Samples from the lens materials during the extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) were collected from all patients. The level of Mn, Cr and Ni in the lens materials in all group were assayed with atomic absorbsion spectrometry (AAS). Results: The Mn and Cr levels in the lens of PEX group was significantly higher than those of control group (p=0.001). The Ni level in the lens were not significantly different in PEX group and control group (p=0.159). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that some trace elements may play a role in PEX.

Özet

Amaç: Psödoeksfolyatif kataraktlı (PEX) hastalarda lens mangan (Mn), krom (Cr) ve nikel (Ni) konsantrasyonlarını, psödoeksfolyasyonu olmayan senil kataraktlı hastalar ile karşılaştırmaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya PEX’li 25 hasta ve kontrol grubu olarak 25 senil kataraktlı hasta dahil edilmiştir. Tüm hastalardan ekstrakapsüler katarakt ekstraksiyonu (EKKE) boyunca lens materyal örnekleri toplanmıştır. Grupların lens materyallerindeki Mn, Cr ve Ni seviyeleri atomik absorbsiyon spektrometri (AAS) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: PEX’li grupta lens Mn ve Cr konsantrasyonları kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde yüksekt bulunmuştur (p=0.001). PEX’li grupta ve kontrol grubunda Ni konsantrasyonunda ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p=0.159). Sonuç: Bulgularımız bazı eser elementlerin PEX’de rol oynuyor olabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
