More and more people suffered from the car otid artery obstruction. It is reported that it's around 69% of these patients the first clinical manifes tation of carotid occlusive disease is the ocular ischemic syndrome. Owing to th e most symptoms of the ocular ischemic syndrome are very obscure, so there are a lways overlook or made a misdiagnosis of this entity in clinical. Fundus fluores cein angiography (FFA) is the best procedure to find this entity. We should pay close attention to notice the early phase of FFA. It is the most specific FFA si gn in ocular ischemic syndrome, and it is a distinctly unusual finding to find t he ocular ischemic syndrome. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2008, 24: 79-81)
PURPOSE:In search of the mechanism for photic retinal injury. METHODS:A visible light damage model was established in the primary cultured healthy,adult human RPE cells by using intense fluorescence light (2 400 Lx). RESULTS:Electron microscopy revealed swelling of the mitochondria and obscurity of nuclear membranous structure in the light damaged cells. The decrease or dissolution of organelle,vacuolization of cytoplasm and myelinic degeneration were found in some severely damaged cells. The level of intracellular SOD was decreased to 41% of that of the controls (P＜0.05). CONCLUSION:The structure of the RPE was damaged by the light radiation and the level of intracellular SOD was decreased. These suggested the light damage might be associated with the production of free radicals and the lipid perioxide reaction in membranous structure of cell. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1996,12: 174-175 ）
