Methods Aqueous humor levels of 12 cytokines, growth factors, or inflammatory factors were measured in 46 DME patients who received IRI. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble VEGF receptor (sVEGFR), and the other cytokines/inflammatory factors were measured by the suspension array method. In addition, aqueous flare values were measured with a laser flare meter and central macular edema (CMT) was examined by optical coherence tomography. Results At 1 month after IRI therapy, the aqueous flare value showed a significant decrease compared with before treatment (baseline). Significant correlations were noted between the aqueous flare value and the aqueous humor levels of 6 factors/cytokines, including sVEGFR-1, placental growth factor, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, interleukin (IL)-6, and interferon-inducible 10-kDa protein (IP-10). There was also a significant correlation between the change of the aqueous flare value and improvement of CMT at 1 month after IRI. Conclusions These findings suggest that IRI reduces subclinical inflammation and that the aqueous flare value is influenced by inflammatory factors/cytokines. In addition, the change of the aqueous flare value may be an indicator of the response of CMT to IRI in patients with DME.Background Primary synovial sarcoma (SS) of the thyroid (PSST) is extremely rare. Its differential diagnosis from other neoplasms is essential since it has different management protocols and prognosis.
