Question Postoperative inflammation and loss of corneal endothelial cells are still one of important complications after cataract surgery. The mechanisms are still unclear. Loss of corneal endothelial cells phacoemulsification
Theories about loss of corneal cells after cataract surgery Oxidation, thermal reaction, water flow, etc… We drew attention to oxidation by phacoemulsification and aspiration (PEA) may be one of causes for the complication. Purpose (1) In this study, we detect the hydroxyl radical during PEA.
Method to detect hydroxyl radical INFINITITM system (Alcon), a PEA unit was prepared. To trap the hydroxyl radical, 1.5ml of distilled water with 1% trapping agent (5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide, LABOTEC) was added in test chamber. After the oscillation the trapping solution was obtained immediately and electron spin resonance (ESR) trapping methods (JES-RE1X, JEOL) were used to detect the hydroxyl radical production.
Typical hydroxyl radical by ESR(positive control: Fenton reaction) . Fe2+ + H2O2 → Fe3++ HO- + HO Control: manganese Control: manganese Hydroxyl radical is a strongest oxidation in some free radicals.Hydroxyl radical bound trapping agent is detected 4 peaksby electron spin resonance (ESR). Fenton reactionis a typical reaction of hydroxyl radical production(positive control).
Result to detect hydroxyl radical by ESR Condition: 100% traditional-PEA for 30 seconds. Mn Mn Answer (1) Hydroxyl radical was produced during PEA.
The relationship between different systems of PEA (traditional & torsional) and loss of corneal endothelial cells have been reported in the following.

J Cataract Refract Surg. 2010;36(11):1855-61 Purpose (2) Next, we quantitate the hydroxyl radical during oscillations using traditional- and torsional-PEAs.
Method to quantitate hydroxyl radical <Different settings of PEA> 100% traditional-PEA Traditional- and torsional-PEA was oscillated for 30 seconds with fixing test chamber and cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) was measured. ESR was also used to detect the radical production. 50% traditional-PEA 100% torsional-PEA 50% torsional-PEA Method to calculate hydroxyl radical level The level of hydroxyl radical production were calculated by percentage of manganese peak. Control: manganese B Level of hydroxyl radical (%) = x 100 A A B
Results: quantity of hydroxyl radical Mn 100% torsional-PEA Mn 100% traditional-PEA Mn Mn Level of hydroxyl radical = 6.0±3.1% Level of hydroxyl radical = 18.9±8.9% CDE = 12.1±0.2 CDE = 30.4±0.2 Mn 50% traditional-PEA 50% torsional-PEA Mn Mn Mn Level of hydroxyl radical = 11.1±2.3% Level of hydroxyl radical = 2.5±0.3% CDE = 14.8±0.2 CDE = 5.9±0.1 • The quantity of hydroxyl radical was smaller using torsional-PEA than traditional-PEA, and was increased by an increase in US power.. • torsional-PEA <<traditional PEA • low US power << high US power
Results: relationship between level of hydroxyl radical and CDE (%) 100% traditional Level of hydroxyl radical 100% torsional 50% traditional 50% torsional Cumulative dissipated energy (CDE) The hydroxyl radical production was linear with respect to CDE. The radical production was be positively correlated with CDE (R2 = 0.9578).
Answer (2) • The quantity of hydroxyl radical was affected by PEA system (traditional or torsional) and US power. • torsional-PEA << traditional-PEA • low US power << high US power • The radical production was be positively correlated with CDE (R2 = 0.9578).
Conclusions • Hydroxyl radical was produced during PEA and its quantity of production was dependent on CDE during PEA. • The quantity of hydroxyl radical was smaller using torsional-PEA than traditional-PEA. • Oxidative stress in the eye may be minimized by using torsional-PEA.
