Abstract:
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) represents the leading cause of irreversible blindness in elderly people, mostly after the age of 65. The progressive deterioration of visual function in patients affected by AMD has a significant impact on quality of life and has also high social costs. The current therapeutic options are only partially able to slow down the natural course of the disease, without being capable of stopping its progression. Therefore, better understanding of the possibilities to prevent the onset of the disease is needed. In this regard, a central role is played by the ide

Abstract:
The protection of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) injury plays an important role in the prevention of or in delaying the pathological progress of retinal degeneration diseases, like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and retinitis pigmentosa. Oxidative stress has been identified as a major inducer of RPE injury, which eventually could lead to a loss of vision. Kaempferol is a natural flavonoid widely distributed in many edible plants, fruits, and traditional medicines and has been reported to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antimicrobial activit

Abstract:
Metformin (MET), a first-line oral agent used to treat diabetes, exerts its function mainly by activating adenosine monophosphate-activated protein. The accumulation of oxidized phospholipids in the outer layer of the retina plays a key role in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells death and the formation of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), which mean the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Recent studies have shown that MET can regulate lipid metabolism, inhibit inflammation, and prohibit retinal cell death and CNV formation due to various pathological factors. Here, ne

Abstract:
The Drosophila retinal degeneration B (rdgB) gene encodes an integral membrane protein involved in phototransduction and prevention of retinal degeneration. RdgB represents a nonclassical phosphatidylinositol transfer protein (PITP) as all other known PITPs are soluble polypeptides. Our data demonstrate roles for RdgB in proper termination of the phototransduction light response and dark recovery of the photoreceptor cells. Expression of RdgB's PITP domain as a soluble protein (RdgB-PITP) in rdgB2 mutant flies is sufficient to completely restore the wild-type electrophysiological light respons

Abstract:
Current approaches to treat neurodegenerative disease provide only mild symptomatic relief but do not modify the natural history of these conditions. A large body of evidence suggests that mitochondrial dysfunction is a key event in the pathophysiology of neurodegeneration. Supporting and improving mitochondrial function has a big potential as a strategy for neuroprotection. The goal of this dissertation was to test whether interventions that target mitochondrial function are effective at preventing neurodegeneration induced by mitochondrial failure in vivo.

Abstract:
Retinal detachment is an uncommon disease, affecting approximately 1 in 10,000 people in the general population per year. However, the incidence of retinal breaks is relatively high, affecting 5% to 7% of the population. Obviously, many retinal breaks have minimal, if any, risk for the possible development of a retinal detachment. This includes macular holes that occur as a degenerative process, and asymptomatic, small, round atrophic holes near the ora serrata. However, equatorial horseshoe tears with relevant symptoms progress to retinal detachment in most cases. Probably all surgeons would agree that a large horseshoe tear near the equator in the superior temporal quadrant, with new-onset symptoms of fl ashes and fl oaters and associated vitreous hemorrhage, should be treated prophylactically to avoid retinal detachment. In contrast, most would not advise treatment of a small, round atrophic hole near the inferior ora serrata in an asymptomatic patient with no history of prior detachment. Between these two obvious examples lies a broad spectrum of retinal breaks for which the surgeon must exercise judgment about instituting prophylactic treatment. Most of the breaks reported in surveys of asymptomatic patients or in autopsy series are of the atrophic type, and only a small proportion are horseshoe tears. Although there are no specific rules for the selection of patients for treatment, and each case has to be judged on its own characteristics, the application of evidencebased medicine to this topic has modified the opinions of many regarding the genuine value of prophylactic therapy for most retinal breaks. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has used this approach in developing a Preferred Practice Pattern (PPP) entitled “Posterior Vitreous Detachment, Retinal Breaks, and Lattice Degeneration,” the latest version of which was published in 2008. The evidence base described in this PPP will be employed in the following discussion. Characteristics associated with a relatively high risk of retinal detachment in an eye with visible retinal breaks are listed in Table 6–1. Symptoms and signs of PVD place an eye at particularly high risk. Additional factors include a variety of hereditary, congenital, acquired, and iatrogenic problems.
