Abstract
Background:This study aims to observe the difference between the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 in Tenon’s capsule tissue from superior fornix, inferior fornix, and interpalpebral area in socket contracture. Methods:This was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional approach. Expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was measured with immunohistochemistry staining. Data were analyzed with Kruskal–Wallis test and continued with Mann– Whitney U-test and Spearman correlation tests. Results:The subjects were three socket contracture patients which two subjects with Grade 4 and one subject with Grade 5. Subjects were about 42-year-old men and women. Tenon’s capsule from inferior fornix showed the highest expression of MMP-2 (P = 0.018). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference in MMP-9 expression in these three areas (P = 0.212). There was no correlation between the expression of MMP-2 and MMP- 9 (P = 0.978). Conclusion: There was a significant difference in MMP-2 in Tenon’s capsule tissue from superior fornix, inferior fornix, and interpalpebral area.
