Treatment of Uveitic Cystoid Macular Edema with Topical Interferon Gamma

外用干扰素伽玛刀治疗葡萄膜囊样黄斑水肿 葡萄膜炎是一种严重的炎症状态，会影响眼睛，并可能导致视力丧失。与葡萄膜炎相关的一个常见的次要问题是黄斑水肿(肿胀)。黄斑是眼睛中对中心视力很重要的部分，黄斑的肿胀会导致进一步的视力丧失。这种情况通常是通过针对免疫系统的药物来治疗的，但这些药物有时不起作用，或者可能会产生副作用。 -干扰素GAMA-1b(Actimmune(注册商标))是一种生物工程蛋白质，可以改变炎症细胞在免疫系统中的工作方式。干扰素伽马-1b以肌肉注射的形式给予；然而，这项研究将该药物用作眼药水。这项研究是干扰素伽马-1b第一次作为眼药水使用。研究人员希望干扰素Gamma-1b可以通过减少背部肿胀来治疗黄斑水肿。

The Treatment of Uveitic Cystoid Macular Edema with Topical Interferon Gamma Uveitis is a serious inflammatory condition that affects the eye and can cause vision loss. A common secondary problem associated with uveitis is macular edema (swelling). The macula is the part of the eye that is important for central vision, and swelling of the macula can lead to further vision loss. This condition is usually treated by medicines that target the immune system, but these medicines sometimes do not work or may cause side effects. - Interferon gamma-1b (Actimmune(Registered Trademark)) is a bioengineered protein that can alter the way inflammatory cells work in the immune system. Interferon gamma-1b is given as an intramuscular injection; however, this study will use the drug as an eye drop. This study represents the first time that interferon gamma-1b is given as an eye drop. Researchers hope that interferon gamma-1b will treat macular edema by decreasing the swelling in the back
