As shown in Table 5, postoperative complications included encapsulated cyst formation, choroidal effusion, flat anterior chamber, hypotony maculopathy, and hyphema.
Statistically significant differences were detected between the two groups when comparing encapsulated cyst formation complications (P = 0.030).
Assuming that the expanded surface area of the implant plate allows reduced occurrence of encapsulated cyst, it is also supposed that expanding the MMC function area in the scleral bed where the AGV is placed may decrease encapsulated cyst formation.
The new technique group had only one case (2.6%) of encapsulated cyst formation out of 38 eyes, while there were eight (19.5%) cases out of 41 eyes the in traditional group.
However, when proliferation of fibrous tissue around the plate forms, it restricts aqueous humor diffusion through the capsule, followed by a gradual elevation of IOP, and then, encapsulated cyst formation [ 8].
The most common complication in the eyes of the traditional group was encapsulated cyst formation, with incidences in eight eyes (19.5%), while there was only an incidence in one eye (2.6%) in the new technique group.
Drug loading can be attained either passively (i.e., the drug is encapsulated during liposome formation) or actively (i.e., after liposome formation).
Drug loading capacity are achieved either actively (i.e., after liposome formation) or passively (i.e., the drug is encapsulated during liposome formation).
In addition to the described changes, a number of the samples were also seen to contain well encapsulated parasite cystoid formations in the liver parenchyma.
Laponite nanoparticles present in the reaction mixture become encapsulated during the microgel formation process.
Herein, we report two main strategies to combine cells with biomaterials: cells are either seeded onto prefabricated hydrogels films (2D), or encapsulated during hydrogel microcapsules formation (3D).
