The human corneal endothelium, the most posterior layer of the cornea, is a monolayer of flat cells that are perfectly joined and are essential for maintaining its transparency over time. Long considered to be non-regenerative in adults, several recent studies have nevertheless shown that some cells can proliferate in the periphery of the endothelium. At birth, the endothelial cell density (ECD, number of cells per unit area) is very high and theendothelial mosaic consists of perfect hexagons. During life, some cells disappear, others divide and the mosaic reorganizes itself: its polymorphism and polymegethism increase. Thus, after 20 years, the central WFD decreases by 0.6% per year, remaining higher in the periphery. However, endothelial homeostasis remains poorly understood, in particular how new peripheral cells partially compensate for the disappearance of other more central cells. The cells form a regular pavement, which can be considered mathematically as a Voronoi pavement without holes. We simulated the organization and reorganization of the cells by means of a centered Voronoi diagram, which was created iteratively by moving the seeds of the diagram to the geometric center of the cells. The initialization of the seeds was done with a uniform distribution, and a few centering iterations were sufficient to have cells close to hexagons. Subsequently, we simulated the evolution through cycles of cell death/birth, followed by cell centering. This new simulation tool will allow us to test many hypotheses on the number and frequency of cellular events (mitosis and death) in order to elucidate endothelial pathophysiology.

Purpose: Gangliosides (GG) make an extremely diverse family of glycosphingolipids particularly abundant in the brain and neural tissues. While it is known that alterations in GG metabolism are associated with visual defects, the precise biological roles of these compounds in the retina are still largely unknown. In this context, we performed an exhaustive inventory and thorough characterization of the human eye GG aiming to reveal specificities and common features of the retina compared to other ocular tissues and brain.Methods: Retina, RPE/Choroid, ciliary body, optic nerve and brain samples were collected from deceased human donors (N=7). GG were extracted and analysed by a comprehensive approach relying on various techniques. First, GG content and class composition were assessed by high-performance thin layer chromatography followed by colorimetric revelation. Second, identification and relative quantification of the different ceramide types represented in each GG class were achieved using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Finally, high-resolution mass spectrometry allowed for the identification of original GG classes and structural characterization of the ceramide moieties (sphingoïd base and fatty acid).Results: Retina contained the highest amount of GG among the ocular tissues tested, although much less than brain. It also presented with a wide diversity of GG classes. As other types of nervous tissues, the retina contained high levels of tetraosylGG but the prominence of GD3, GT3 and acetylated GT3 appeared as a specificity of this tissue. Retina also exhibited the largest diversity of ceramide types sharing common features with brain. They both had especially high proportions of monounsaturated ceramides and consecutively low proportions of polyunsaturated ceramides, as well as low proportions of ceramides shorter than 36 carbons or longer than 41 carbons. Moreover, GG of the retina contained 4 different types of sphingoïd bases: mostly d18:1 as every other tissues but also significant levels of d20:1 as the brain and optic nerve and in minor proportions d16:1 and d18:2 also found in ciliary body.

Cell permeabilization allows us to deliver all sorts of molecules, especially genetic material able to modify cell behavior, into cells. A new cell therapy method published in Nature Nanotechnology in 2011 [1] consists in ephemerally permeabilizing cell membranes using a photo-acoustic reaction produced by carbon nanoparticles and femtosecond laser. Authors introduced a small molecule called calcein into cells in suspension whose membrane is normally impermeable with a good efficiency (until 90%) and a very low toxicity (

Purpose Blood lipids are frequently used as a surrogate of lipid composition of peripheral tissues. Even if it is well accepted, such a relationship has never been clearly demonstrated for the eye. The aim of this study was to determine in human samples whether a lipidomic approach based on red blood cells could reveal associations between circulating and ocular lipid profiles. Methods Red blood cells, retinas and optic nerves were collected from 9 human donors. The lipidomic analyses on these tissues were done by both, gas chromatography and liquid chromatography coupled to an electrospray ionization source-mass spectrometer (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Results Gas chromatographic approach did not show any relevant association between circulating and ocular lipids except for arachidonic acid whose circulating amounts were positively associated with its retinal and optic nerve levels. However, significant associations emerged from LC-ESI-MS/MS analyses. Indeed, phospholipid species in red blood cells were positively or negatively associated with representative pools of retinal DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), retinal VLC-PUFA (very-long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids) or optic nerve plasmalogens. Conclusions First, our results show that LC-ESI-MS/MS methodology is more appropriate than gas chromatography for lipidomics on red blood cells, and further extrapolation to ocular lipids. Second, this study has identified several individual lipid species that can be good candidates to represent circulating biomarkers of ocular lipids.

International audience; Inflammatory neovascularization, such as choroidal neovascularization (CNV), occur in the presence of Notch expressing macrophages. DLL4s anti-angiogenic effect on endothelial cells (EC) has been widely recognized, but its influence on Notch signaling on macrophages and its overall effect in inflammatory neovascularization is not well understood. We identified macrophages and ECs as the main Notch 1 and Notch 4 expressing cells in CNV. A soluble fraction spanning Ser28-Pro525 of the murine extracellular DLL4 domain (sDLL4/28-525) activated the Notch pathway, as it induces Notch target genes in macrophages and ECs and inhibited EC proliferation and vascular sprouting in aortic rings. In contrast, sDLL4/28-525 increased pro-angiogenic VEGF, and IL-1β expression in macrophages responsible for increased vascular sprouting observed in aortic rings incubated in conditioned media from sDLL4/28-525 stimulated macrophages. In vivo, Dll4(+/-) mice developed significantly more CNV and sDLL4/28-525 injections inhibited CNV in Dll4(+/-) CD1 mice. Similarly, sDLL4/28-525 inhibited CNV in C57Bl6 and its effect was reversed by a γ-secretase inhibitor that blocks Notch signaling. The inhibition occurred despite increased VEGF, IL-1β expression in infiltrating inflammatory macrophages in sDLL4/28-525 treated mice and might be due to direct inhibition of EC proliferation in laser-induced CNV as demonstrated by EdU labelling in vivo. In conclusion, Notch activation on macrophages and ECs leads to opposing effects in inflammatory neovascularization in situations such as CNV.

International audience; Inflammatory neovascularization, such as choroidal neovascularization (CNV), occur in the presence of Notch expressing macrophages. DLL4s anti-angiogenic effect on endothelial cells (EC) has been widely recognized, but its influence on Notch signaling on macrophages and its overall effect in inflammatory neovascularization is not well understood. We identified macrophages and ECs as the main Notch 1 and Notch 4 expressing cells in CNV. A soluble fraction spanning Ser28-Pro525 of the murine extracellular DLL4 domain (sDLL4/28-525) activated the Notch pathway, as it induces Notch target genes in macrophages and ECs and inhibited EC proliferation and vascular sprouting in aortic rings. In contrast, sDLL4/28-525 increased pro-angiogenic VEGF, and IL-1β expression in macrophages responsible for increased vascular sprouting observed in aortic rings incubated in conditioned media from sDLL4/28-525 stimulated macrophages. In vivo, Dll4(+/-) mice developed significantly more CNV and sDLL4/28-525 injections inhibited CNV in Dll4(+/-) CD1 mice. Similarly, sDLL4/28-525 inhibited CNV in C57Bl6 and its effect was reversed by a γ-secretase inhibitor that blocks Notch signaling. The inhibition occurred despite increased VEGF, IL-1β expression in infiltrating inflammatory macrophages in sDLL4/28-525 treated mice and might be due to direct inhibition of EC proliferation in laser-induced CNV as demonstrated by EdU labelling in vivo. In conclusion, Notch activation on macrophages and ECs leads to opposing effects in inflammatory neovascularization in situations such as CNV.

EA MERS CT3 Enjeu 3; International audience; PURPOSE: To correlate the initial ocular presentation with bacterial identification in 100 patients with acute postcataract endophthalmitis. METHODS: This was a prospective multicenter study. Demographic data, medical history, and the initial eye examination data were recorded on a standardized form. The relationship between bacterial identification and clinical factors at baseline was studied using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS: One hundred patients were admitted to the hospital with a median delay of 6 days after cataract surgery. The main symptoms were loss of vision (94.9%) and pain (75.5%). Major clinical signs were hypopyon (72%), pupillary fibrin membrane (77.5%), and loss of fundus visibility (90%). Baseline factors significantly associated with microbiologic identification were as follows: diabetes mellitus, a shorter delay of onset, initial visual acuity limited to light perception, higher intraocular pressure, chemosis, pupillary fibrin membrane, loss of the red reflex, and reduced fundus visibility. As compared with other bacteria, the identification of Streptococcus species (n = 19) was more frequently associated with male gender, diabetes mellitus, initial visual acuity limited to light perception, and pain. The Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus lugdunensis group (n = 14) differed from other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus groups (n = 33) in that those patients had greater hypopyon height. CONCLUSION: The baseline features of acute endophthalmitis after cataract surgery in the era of phacoemulsification are similar to those reported in the Endophthalmitis Vitrectomy Study 15 years ago and differ according to the bacterial species. The association between the clinical signs and the microbiologic identification suggests that initial characteristics other than visual acuity may be useful in identifying patients presumed to be infected with a virulent species.

Femtosecond laser has become a common tool in corneal surgery during the last years. The first clinical application of femtosecond lasers (FL) in ophthalmology was in refractive surgery (LASIK : laser in situ keratomileusis) for the preparation of cornea flaps [1]. Recently, FL applications have been extend to penetrating and lamellar keratoplasty. However, commercially available femtosecond laser in ophthalmology have already shown limitations in these new applications, in particular in oedematous cornea (pathologic or stored by eye banks). Experimental and clinical investigations of deep lamellar and penetrating graft in oedematous corneas have often shown bad quality dissections, with the presence of numerous remaining tissue bridges [2, 3]. In order to improve the results of these dissections, a fine knowledge of the dissected biological material is essential. The human cornea is a complex tissue made of different layers. The stroma, central layer mainly made of collagen fibrils and water, represent more than 90% of the whole corneal thickness. Collagen fibrils organization and hydration in the stroma is not homogeneous too. Anterior stroma owns a complex collagen fiber branching patterns, which decreased logarithmically in posterior direction [4].The purpose of this study is to investigate interactions between FL and human corneal stroma. The study has been realised on human corneal grafts unsuitable for transplantation. Corneal grafts have been prepared with a mechanical corneal microkeratome. A lamellar cut from anterior side has been performed in at two different depths: 50µm for anterior stroma study and 350µm for posterior stroma study (see figure 1-c). This preparation is intended to prevent any interference between the incident laser and the other corneal layers. Ablation thresholds and ablation rates have been studied on remaining anterior and posterior corneal stroma for different processing configuration, such as laser fluence and pulse number. Results of this study will show if the inhomogeneous histological organization of the corneal stroma and pulse number have implications on ablation thresholds and rates. If this is the case, these results could be used to improve FL ablation parameters for deep cornea cut.

International audience; Purpose: To analyze initial clinical factors of good visual outcome in patients with acute endophthalmitis following cataract surgery. Methods: A prospective study was performed in 4 University hospital (Dijon, Grenoble, Lyon, Saint-Etienne, FRIENDS group) on 100 patients with acute post-cataract endophthalmitis. Factors related to cataract surgery (complications), the initial presentation and the microbiological identification were analyzed according to the final visual outcome using univariate and multivariate analysis (SPSS 12.0). Results: 46% out of the patients had a final visual acuity less than or equal to 0.3 logMar (good visual outcome) at 6 months while 10% had light perceptions. Patients with good visual outcome differed from the patients with poor final visual acuity for the duration of cataract surgery (p=0.05), initial visual acuity (> LP, p=0.005), the visibility of fundus (p=0.04) and the identification of a coagulase negative Staphylococcus (p=0.05). On the other hand, patients with a poor visual outcome (> 0.3 LogMAR) were older (p=0.004), had more frequently cornea oedema (p=0.05) and a larger hypopion (p=0.01) at admission, more frequently complications at the time of cataract surgery (p=0.005), and a bacterium was more frequently identified (p=0.005). Multivariate analysis showed that age, complications at the time of cataract surgery and identification of bacteria were independent factors of visual prognosis. Conclusions: Factors of visual outcome in acute postcataract endophthalmitis identified in this prospective study (2004-2007) were similar to those reported by the EVS 15 years ago. Given the bias associated with the therapeutic strategy, pars plana vitrectomy is associated with predictive factors of poor visual outcome. Identificaton of these predictive factors at presentation should allow a better identification of patients needed an aggressive treatment.

Purpose This study was designed to compare the diagnostic yield of microbiological analysis performed on diluted and undiluted vitreous samples from pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in patients with acute postcataract endophthalmitis. Design Cohort study, evaluation of diagnostic test or technology. Participants Patients with acute postcataract endophthalmitis ( Methods Undiluted and diluted vitreous samples were taken from 34 consecutive patients at the beginning of PPV as part of the multicenter prospective study of the French Institutional Endophthalmitis Study (FRIENDS) group. Vitrectomy was performed after 1 (n = 12) or 2 (n = 22) intravitreous antibiotic injections. McNemar's nonparametric test was used to compare culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results between diluted and undiluted samples. Main Outcome Measures Rate of positivity of conventional culture (brain heart infusion broth) and eubacterial PCR tests from undiluted and diluted vitreous samples. Results The microbiological analysis of both undiluted and diluted vitreous samples detected and identified a bacterial pathogen in 26 out of 34 cases (76.4%). The analysis of undiluted and diluted vitreous at the time of PPV, using eubacterial PCR and conventional culture, gave similar results ( P = 0.99; McNemar test). However, eubacterial PCR was more sensitive than culture in detecting bacteria in vitreous at the time of PPV (76% vs 6%; P = 0.001; McNemar test). The difference in sensitivity between the 2 techniques was primarily associated with false-negative culture results for undiluted samples (2/3 of cases), mainly for coagulase-negative staphylococci. Conclusions The microbiological results obtained combining PCR and culture techniques were similar for diluted vitreous and undiluted vitreous analysis. When eubacterial PCR is available, sampling diluted vitreous, an easier procedure, may replace sampling undiluted vitreous.

Purpose: Mutations in the ELOVL4 gene have been found in Stargardt-like macular dystrophy or STD3. Previous studies have shown that ELOVL4 is involved in the biosynthesis of very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFA). The aim of this work was to develop a HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method of characterization and quantification of dipolyunsaturated phosphatidyl-choline (PC) molecular species containing VLC-PUFA and to apply it on retinas from human donors. Methods: Eyeballs were collected from calf as well as from nine human donors (body donation to Science). The neural retina was dissected from the RPE/choroid. Following lipid extraction, phosphorus content of total phospholipids was determined.Using a triple quadrupole MS instrument, PC molecular species were structurally characterized by collision-induced dissociation in the negative mode with a method based on normal-HPLC-ESIMS/MS. PC molecular species were then quantified using precursor ion scanning of m/z 184amu in the positive mode. Results: The characterization of PC species was done on bovine retinas. Among them, 28 were dipolyunsaturated PC species containing one VLC-PUFA (C24 to C36) with three to six double bonds. VLC-PUFA were always in the sn-1 position whilst PUFA at the sn-2 position was exclusively docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6.n-3). Most of these VLC-PUFA-containing dipolyunsaturated PC were detected and quantified in human retinas. The main represented compounds were those having VLC-PUFA of 32 carbon atoms (C32:3, C32:4, C32:5 and C32:6) and 34 carbon atoms (C34:3, C34:4, C34:5 and C34:6). Dipolyunsaturated PC with 36:5 and 36:6 were detected in lower quantities. Conclusions: This new HPLC-ESI-MS/MS method is sensitive and specific enough to structurally characterize and quantify all molecular species of PC, including those esterified with VLC-PUFA. This technique is valuable for a precise characterization of PC containingVLC-PUFA in retina and may be useful for better understanding their implication in the pathogenesis of STD3.

Purpose: Lecithin Cholesterol Acyl Transferase (LCAT) and Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) are the main lipid transfer proteins which activities are involved in the metabolism of cholesteryl esters (CE) in LDL and HDL. Active remodeling of circulating lipoproteins has been reported in the retina and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). We previously published that CE in RPE/choroid may participate to the metabolism, and possibly uptake of dietary fatty acids in the retina, especially linoleic acid that is typically of dietary origin (Bretillon et al. Exp. Eye Res. 2008;87,521-528). In the present work, we questioned whether circulating CE fatty acid composition, LCAT and CETP activitiesmay be markers for fatty acid profile of the retina. Methods: Eyeballs were collected from nine human donors (body donation to science). The neuroretina was dissected from RPE/choroid, and a piece of the extra orbital fat was collected. Blood was sampled, and plasma was separated from red blood cells. Plasma phosphatidylcholine (PC), triglycerides and CE were prepared. The fatty acid composition of the neuroretina, phospholipids and cholesteryl esters of RPE/choroid, extra-orbital fat, plasma fractions and red blood cells was determined by gas chromatography. Estimates of LCAT and CETP activities were calculated from fatty acid data. Correlation coefficients were calculated to determine associations between adipose tissue fatty acid composition, LCAT and CETP estimates and fatty acid in the ocular structures. Results: The higher linoleic acid in plasma CE, plasma PC and adipose tissue, the greater linoleic acid in PL from RPE/choroid (r=0.96, 0.94 and 0.87, p

Purpose: : To correlate the presenting clinical ophthalmic features with the bacterial identification in 100 patients with acute post catarcat endophthalmitis enrolled in the FRench Instutionnal ENdophthalmitis Study (FRIENDS).Methods: : Demographic data, past medical history and initial eye examination were recorded in a standardized form in 100 patients with acute endophthalmitis after cataract extraction (< 6 weeks) in a prospective multicenter study. Relationship between microbiological identification (using conventional cultures and panbacterial PCR) and clinical factors at baseline was studied using univariate (ANOVA).Results: : 100 patients were hospitalized for endophthalmitis treatment with a mean delay of 8±7.5 (SD) days (range: 2-31 days) after the cataract surgery, complicated by capsular rupture in 19% of the cases. Main symptoms were loss of vision (95%) frequently limited to light perception (32%), and pain (75%). More frequent clinical signs were hypopion (72%), cyclitic membrane (77.5%) and absence of fundus visibility (90%). As compared with Staphylococcus species, the identification of Streptococcus species was more frequently identified (p

International audience; Purpose: : To provide data on the differences in the lipid profile of the neural retina and RPE/choroid in healthy human eyes, and to establish plausible relationships with dietary fat intake, by comparing the lipid profile of the extra orbital fat. Methods: : Human eyes were collected from 28 human donors. The neural retina was dissected from the RPE/choroid. In 6 donors, the lacrimal gland and a piece of the extra orbital fat were collected. The lipid profile of the human samples was analyzed into classes. Phospholipids and cholesteryl esters were purified from RPE/choroid. The fatty acid composition of the retina, lipid fractions of RPE/choroid, and lacrimal gland samples was determined by gas chromatography and compared to the extra-orbital fat. Results: : Cholesteryl esters accounted for the major difference between the neuroretina and RPE/choroid, 1.7 ± 0.6% and 19.0 ± 3.4% of total lipids, respectively. A positive relationship was found between DHA levels in the neuroretina and cholesteryl esters from RPE/choroid (rPearson=0.78, p=0.01), while the opposite was observed in phospholipids from RPE/choroid (rPearson=-0.71, p=0.03). DHA levels in extra-orbital fat was positively correlated to DHA in lacrimal gland (rPearson=0.74, p=0.02), whereas no significant correlation was observed in the other ocular structures. Linoleic acid in extra-orbital fat and in the ocular structures were positively correlated each others, the greatest relationship was obtained with the lacrimal gland (rPearson=0.99, p

International audience; Purpose:: Prostaglandins (PGs) have been found in tears of patients with ocular surface disorders, and are powerful markers of inflammation. The lacrimal gland has been reported to synthesize PGs. Polyunsaturated fatty acids esterified in phospholipids are the precursors of pro- and anti-inflammatory PGs. The aim of this study was to compare the phospholipid content of the lacrimal gland in human and in different rat species. Moreover the changes in fatty acids of the lacrimal glands of Lewis rats were studied after a nutritional intervention. Methods:: Lacrimal glands were excised from Wistar, Sprague-Dawley and Lewis rats (3 month-old) and from Humans 3 to 36 hours after death. Phospholipids were extracted, quantified and separated by HPLC. Phospholipid FAs were analyzed by gas chromatography. Results:: Whereas phospholipids represented the major lipid class in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats (73-75%), they accounted for 50% of total lipids in Lewis rats and only 4% in Humans. Phospholipids in Humans contained 40% phosphatidylethanolamine as in Lewis and Sprague Dawley, significantly less phosphatidylcholine and more phosphatidylserine than the 3 rat species (35% versus 41-43% phosphatidylcholine and 8.0% versus 4-5% phosphatidylserine). In the 3 rat species, phospholipids contained 3-5% of n-3 fatty acids and 29-37% of n-6 fatty acids with a ratio n-6/n-3 ranging from 6 to 9. In human, their content varied from one individual to another, probably depending on the diet of the patient, but was comparable to Lewis and Sprague-Dawley rats. A diet enriched with n-3 fatty acids EPA (20:5 n-3) and DHA (C22:6n-3) given to Lewis rats for 2 months significantly increased C20:5n-3 (from 0.3 to 10.8%), C22:5n-3 and C22:6n-3 and decreased C20:4n-6 (from 17.5 to 12.0%), leading to a significant decrease in the n-6/n-3 ratio (from 5.6 to 1.3). Conclusions:: Based on the similarity between Humans and Lewis rats in terms of fatty acid profile of the lacrimal glands and on the ability of the lacrimal glands to dietary changes, dietary fatty acids may be powerful to modulate inflammatory processes in the lacrimal glands in humans, and possibly to reduce ocular surface disorders characterized by inflammation.

International audience; But Déterminer les facteurs influençant la morphométrie endothéliale des cornées en organoculture (mesure par analyse d'image) : coefficient de variation de surface cellulaire (CV) et pourcentage de cellules hexagonales. Matériels et Méthodes L'endothélium de 505 cornées consécutives conditionnées à la banque de cornée de l'EFS Loire/Auvergne a été analysé en routine par l'analyseur Sambacornea sur 3 images grand champ, après dilatation osmotique des espaces intercellulaires et comptage d'au moins 300 cellules. La qualité du set d'images était classée en mauvaise, acceptable, ou bonne par un observateur indépendant. Paramètres étudiés : âge et sexe du donneur, statut cristallinien, délai postmortem, type de milieu de conservation, durée de conservation avant analyse, qualité intrinsèque des images saisies. Résultats L'analyse d'image a été possible sur 504 des 505 cornées évaluées. L'âge du donneur était significativement corrélé à la densité cellulaire endothéliale (r =-0343) au CV (r = 0,221) et à l'hexagonalité (r =-0,314) (p < 0,001 pour les 3). La qualité des images influençait significativement ces 3 paramètres, DCE et hexagonalité baissant parallèlement à la qualité des images tandis que le CV augmentait. Pour les 258 cornées évaluées 2 fois (en moyenne à J + 4 puis à J + 14) DCE, CV et hexagonalité diminuaient en cours de conservation. Il n'existait pas d'influence du milieu sur la morphométrie. Discussion Malgré les conditions difficiles de l'organoculture et la qualité des images de microscopie optique parfois médiocre, l'analyse par Sambacornea de l'endothélium des greffons fournit des paramètres endothéliaux qui sont cliniquement fiables puisque superposables à celles connues de longue date en microscopie spéculaire. La morphométrie (CV et hexagonalité) est susceptible d'apporter des informations supplémentaires sur la fonction endothéliale, peut être en particulier pour les greffons proches du seuil conventionnel de cession de 2000 cell/mm2. Conclusion Des essais cliniques prospectifs utilisant l'analyse d'image devront évaluer l'influence de la morphométrie endothéliale sur la survie du greffon à long terme chez le receveur.

But : déterminer leur concordance avec le MS non-contact Topcon SP2000®, le plus utilisé, mesurant la DCE par détection des contours après retouche obligatoire. Matériels et Méthodes Analyse de la DCE centrale de 270 (SeaEagle®) et de 108 cornées (SeaEagle SL®). Utilisation de la méthode de Bland Altman pour déterminer la concordance entre le comptage retouché de Topcon® (gold standard) et les comptages automatiques puis retouchés de SeaEagle® et SeaEagle SL®. Résultats Pour SeaEagle®. Nombre de cellules prises en compte peu différent (moyenne, écart-type) : 137 (44) vs 129 (46) (Topcon®) (p < 0.001). Faible concordance entre comptage automatique SeaEagle® et comptage retouché Topcon®, avec une moyenne des différences de +226 cell/mm2 de surestimation globale de SeaEagle ® (limites de -663 à +1 116 cell/mm2). Par contre, bonne concordance entre les deux comptages retouchés avec une moyenne des différences de seulement -2 cell/mm2 (limites de -412 à +408 cell/mm2) pour SeaEagle®. Pour ®SeaEagle SL (mode retouché uniquement). Nombre de cellules prises en compte peu différent : 115 (30) vs 132 (43) (Topcon®) (p < 0.001). Concordance moins bonne entre les deux comptages retouchés avec une moyenne des différences de +103 cell/mm2 (limites de -286 à +493 cell/mm2) pour SeaEagle SL®. Discussion Les comptages automatiques de SeaEagle® et SeaEagle SL® ne sont pas concordants avec le comptage retouché de Topcon®. Les comptages retouchés sont concordants, même s'il peut ponctuellement exister une variation l'ordre de 400 à 500 cell/mm2. Conclusion Le comptage automatique doit être banni des bonnes pratiques de comptage endothélial. Le comptage retouché avec SeaEagle® a une concordance excellente avec Topcon® retouché, moindre dans sa version adaptable sur lampe à fente SeaEagle SL®. Cette dernière nous paraît néanmoins acceptable pour une utilisation de routine, hors recherche clinique.

International audience; But Le but de cette étude était de comparer les mesures d'épaisseur cornéenne centrale obtenues par 4 méthodes : réflectomètre en basse cohérence optique (RBCO) non-contact, monté sur lampe à fente, 2 microscopes spéculaires non-contact, une version simplifiée d'un microscope spéculaire monté sur lampe à fente et un pachymètre ultrasonore contact comme gold standard Matériels et Méthodes L'épaisseur cornéenne a été mesurée à l'apex cornéen de 108 yeux de 54 adultes (72 % de volontaires sains, 22 % de greffés de la cornée, 6 % d'opérés de cataracte) avec les 3 dispositifs non-contact dans un ordre aléatoire (moyenne de 10 mesures pour la RBCO, mesure unique pour les microscopes spéculaires). La mesure par ultrason était réalisée en dernier (moyenne de 10 mesures). Le nombre des mesures reflétait la pratique courante. La concordance entre chacune des techniques non-contact et le gold standard était mesurée par la méthode de Bland Altman en déterminant les différences moyennes entre les techniques et leurs deux bornes de concordances Résultats L'épaisseur centrale (moyenne ± écart-type) était de 541 ± 37 μm pour l'ultrason, 539 ± 38 pour la RBCO (P = 0.45), 528 ± 39 pour Topcon (P < 0,01) et 564 ± 67 pour Rhinetec (P < 0.01). La différence moyenne avec la pachymétrie ultrasonore et les bornes de concordances étaient de – 2 μm [− 24 ; + 19] pour l'OBCR, − 12 μm [− 48 ; + 24] pour Topcon, et + 23 μm [− 92 ; + 139] pour Rhinetec. Discussion Les concordances avec la pachymétrie ultrasonore de la RBCO et de Topcon apparaissent excellentes, tandis qu'elle n'est pas suffisante pour Rhinetec. Topcon sous estime très modérément l'épaisseur. La RBCO semble la plus fiable. Conclusion La RBCO peut être utilisée de façon interchangeable avec la pachymétrie ultrasonore. En plus de son utilisation en routine clinique, elle pourrait s'avérer utile pour mesurer l'épaisseur des greffons cornéens sans risque de contamination au cours de l'organoculture, dans le but de dépister les chirurgies réfractives cornéennes.

International audience; Aim To compare two different cell count strategies, border and center methods for endothelial assessment during corneal storage. Material and Methods Seven observers determined the endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient of variation (CV) of cell area, and percentage hexagonality of 30 organ cultured corneas by the border (contour detection and manual retouch) and center method (indicating cell centers) using Sambacornea analyser. Interobserver variability for ECD and agreement between the two methods was determined. The accuracy of the center method was verified by counting on ten standard photolithographic mosaics (called keratotest) by border (reference method) and center methods, first as fast and next as precise as possible (fast and slow modes respectively) and the time noted. Data between border and center methods was compared using nonparametric paired tests. Results For stored corneas, interobserver variability was ±9.6% (95%CI [6.5-12.7]) for border method and ±9.3% (95%CI[6.3-12.3]) for center method. ECD [mean±SD (range), median] was [2948±565 (1644-3878), 3081] and [2961±568 (1736-3914), 3037] respectively and showed excellent correlation (Pearson coefficient r=0.998, p
