ObjectivesTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of argon laser photocoagulation combined with intravitreous injection of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) on ischemic central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).MethodsArgon laser photocoagulation combined with intravitreous injection of TA was performed on 17 patients (17 eyes) with CRVO between December 2003 and July 2004.ResultsDuring the follow-up of 4-10 months, the visual acuity improved in 16 patients, including alleviated or even disappeared cystoid macular edema (CME) in 5, and recurred macular edema in 5 with decreased visual acuity after 3 months. Six patients had increased ocular pressure after intra-ocular injection which alleviated after treated suitably. No neovascularization in angle or secondary neovascular glaucoma was found.ConclusionArgon laser photocoagulation combined with intravitreous injection of TA may improve the visual acuity and reduce complications in ischemic CRVO, though macular edema may recur in some cases.

ObjectiveTo observe the longterm effect of suramin on the inhibition of proliferation of human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro. MethodsRPE cells grown in 9 pieces of 96well plate (12 wells each plate) were divided into experimental and control group, with 6 wells in each group. The concentration of 0.1 ml RPE cells in each well is 5×104 cells/ml. After the change of the medium, RPE cells were treated with suramin (250 μg/ml) in experimental group while treated with nothing in the control group. The medium of the 2 groups were changed to the normal medium after 4 days. At the 1st, 2nd, and 4thday after the addition of suramin and at the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th , 11th and 13th day after removing suramin, 1 plate was randomly selected to stop culturing, and the proliferation of RPE cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. ResultsUnder reversed microscope, RPE cells in control group were fused completely at the 7th day after inoculation. The extracellular space of RPE cells in experimental groups was larger than that in the control group, and remained unfused at the 13th day after inoculation. The inhibitory rate of proliferation of RPE cells at the first day after treated with suramin was 14.85% and increased to the highest 25.79% at the 4th day. The first day after the suramincontaining media was removed, the inhibitory rate decreased to 12.35%, and then raised gradually to over 20% at the 3rd to 5th day. Finally, the rate drop to 14.71%. ConclusionSuramin has the long-term effect on the inhibition of RPE cells induced by serum, especially the inhibitive effect after the remove of suramin, which indicates the specific double-peak inhibition during the whole process.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005,21:25-27)
Purpose To investigate the effects of intervention with Tanakan on anterior ocular segment in diabetic retinopathy (DR) after retinal photocoagulation． Methods Prospective random controlled study was performed on 72 patients (72 eyes) with ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM),by obtaining and quantitatively analyzing the changes of anterior ocular segment including anterior chamber, anterior chamber angle, ciliary body and choroids before and the 3rd day and the 7th day after retinal photocoagulation. Results Three days after photocoagulation, significant elev ated IOP and narrowed chamber angle were observed in control group and 4 eyes (1 1.11%) in Tanakan group (Plt;0.01)． Choroidal detachment in 32 eyes (88.89%) in control group and in 2 eyes (5.56%) in Tanakan group and the severity of ciliochoroidal detachment in tanakan group was significantly lower than that in control group． Conclusion Tanakan is effective to prevent the complications of anterior segment, such as ciliochoroidal detachment, elevation of IOP, narrowing of chamber angle occurring early after retinal photocoagulation and reduce the severity of ciliochoroidal detachment． (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:187-189)
Evidencebased medicine (EBM) is different fromtraditional medicine in that the practice of EBM comes from evidence and experience of the doctors. The objective evidence plays a key role in clinical practice. During the clinical teaching process, the following steps should be taken: firstly, the students should find a problem in their clinical practice; then, theyshould search for the evidence with the help of their teachers, evaluate the evidence, apply the evidence to the clinical practice, and solve the problem; finally, they should evaluate the effectiveness. An introduction of the principles and methods of EBM to the clinical practice can greatly improve the students’ ability to analyze and solve a clinical problem.
ObjectiveTo observe the characteristics of images of fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) in patients with acute retinal necrosis syndrome (ARNS), and investigate the applied value of FFA and ICGA in clinical diagnosis.MethodThe data of the ocular fundus, FFA and ICGA of 20 patients (28 eyes) with ARNS were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe images of FFA indicated hyperfluorescence of optic disc in 24 eyes (85.71%) at the late phase; widespread retinal vascular occlusion at the peripheral focus in 23 eyes (82.14%) with some occlusive vascular shadow and the fluorescein in some white-line-like blood vessels; fluorescent leakage at the junction of normal and abnormal retina in 22 eyes (78.57%); retinal detachment in 20 eyes (71.42%), including 9 with retinal hole (45% of the patients retinal detachment); and macular cystoid edema in 8 eyes (28.57%). The images of ICGA showed hyperfluorescence of optic disc in 8 eyes (28.57%) including 5 with dotted staining at the optic disc at the late phase; unclear choroidal vasculature in the peripheral focus in 20 eyes (71.42%); and choriodal scattered hypofluorescent patch at the focus area in 19 eyes (67.85%). At the late phase of ICGA, some intravascular emboli and segments of retinal vascular occlusion were clearly demonstrated. ConclusionThe main manifestations of patients with ARNS in the images of FFA were hyperfluorescence of optic disc and retinal vascular occlusion; and unclear choroidal vessels and scattered hypofluorescent patch at the focus area.Combination of FFA and ICGA is helpful to understand the extent of the lesions and the relations between choroids and retina, which has great significance in diagnosing ARNS.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005,21:100-102)
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of triamcinolone acetonide(TA) on activation and barrier function of human retinal pigment epithelium （RPE）.MethodsARPE-19 cells were cultured in 96well tissue culture plate. Four weeks later, TA with different concentration (0.02 and 0.05 mg/ml)was added to the cells and culture for 3 or 7 days. The activation of ARPE-19 cells was assessed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). ARPE-19 cells were cultured on polyester microporous filters for 4 weeks, and the transepithelial resistance (TER) was recorded. TA (0.02 and 0.05 mg/ml) was added to the culture fluid respectively, and after cultured for 1 week TER was measured again. The RPE permeability was detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with horse radish peroxidase as the tracer. ResultsIn the culture fluid with 002 mg/ml TA cultured for 3 or 7 days, the average survival rate of ARPE-19 cells was 93.70% and 90.63% respectively, without statistic difference compared with the control (P=0.147, 0.091). While in the 0.05 mg/ml TA group after cultured for the same duration, the activation of ARPE-19 cells decreased significantly compared with the control (with the average survival rate of 87.75% and 88.98%; P=0.025, 0.043). One week after cultured with TA, TER decreased significantly while permeability improved obviously in the 2 TA groups compared to the control (Plt;0.001; 0.001lt;Plt;0.05).ConclusionTA may decrease the activation of and destroy the barrier function of ARPE-19 cells.
