Cover Story: Purpose: To investigate the relationship between retinal blood flow, presence or absence of recurrence of macular edema, and levels of cytokines, after intravitreal ranibizumab injection (IRI) in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). In the veins of the occluded region, RFV showed a significant difference between baseline and 1 month after IRI in the recurrent group and the percent change of RFV showed a significant difference between the recurrent and nonrecurrent groups. Furthermore, we found a significant negative correlation between RFV in the veins of the occluded region and aqueous levels of MCP-1, IL-8 and IP-10 at baseline. In the recurrent group, the arteries and veins of the non-occluded and occluded regions showed no significant association between RFV and the aqueous levels of any factors. View this paper
