Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
Objective To probe the clinical character,the histopathological classification and misdiagnoses of intraocular tumors. Methods The clinical and pathological data of 359 patients with intraocular tumor diagnosed clinically between 1980～2000 were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were 300 cases of malignant tumor and 23 cases of benign tumor respectively. Non-oncologic malady and benign tumor misdiagnosed as tumor or malignant tumor were 40 cases. The two leading malignant tumors were retinoblastoma and melanoma. Conclusion The clinical and pathological analysis of intraocular tumor is beneficial to the correct clinical diagnosis and treatment. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,2002,18:28-30)
Objective To study the surgical reconstruction for correction of enophthalmos deformity caused by orbital blowout fractures. Methods From December 1996 to March 2004, 56 cases of enophthalmos deformity caused by orbital blow-out fracture were repaired. There were 37 cases diplopia, 35 cases with worsened visual acuity than pretrauma. Typical sub-ciliary incision was employed to expose the fractured area.The dissection was done beneath the medial and inferior obital periosteum. The fracture areas were exposed and the tissues protrusing to sinus maxillaries were released through the space between fractural bones. After the medial and inferior orbital walls and orbital floors were exposed，the herniated orbital contents were released and reduced to the orbital cavity. The fractured orbital walls were repaired precisely with Medpor which were fixed to the area beneaththe periosteum with 2 plates at least. Results All 56 cases ofenophthalmos deformity caused by orbital blow-out fracture repaired with this technique recovered well and their facial appearance improved greatly. With a follow-up ranged from 2 months to 5 years, the degree of enophthalmos stabilized at within 2 mm, no relapse and other complications occurred. Of 34 patients with diplopia, 27 were improved. Of the 35 cases with worsened visual acuity, 9 were improved with different degree. No diplopia or visual acuity worsening occurred. Conclusion It is safe and effectiveto correct the orbital blow-out fractures. The earlier it is repaired, thebetter the effect will be. Medpor with its advantages like better histocompatibility, easier sculpturing, moderate hardness, lower absorptivity, fewer complications and permanence effect is the preferable implantation material for correcting enophthalmos deformity.
Objective To analyze the protective effects of heat-shock response on the retinae of the rats after retinal ischemic reperfusion injury.Method Twenty Wistar rats (20 eyes) were divided into 4 groups: intracameral perfusion group (group P), intracameral perfusion after quercetin injection group (group P+Q), intracameral perfusion after heat shock group (group P+H), and in tracameral perfusion after quercetin injection and heat shock group (group P+Q+H ). According to the standard program established by International Society for Clinical Visual Electrophysiology, we recorded the results of the dark-adapted electroretinogram (D-ERG ),oscillatory potentials (OPs),and light-adapted ERG (L-ERG) of the rats with intraocular hypertension after induced by heat shock response. The expressions of HSP 70 of the rats in all groups were observed by Western blotting.Results The expression of HSP 70 of the rats in group P+H was the highest in all groups, but the expressions of HSP70 in group P+Q and P+Q+H were inhibited significantly. The amplitudes of a and b wave of ERG and O2 wave of OPs decreased, and the delitescence of them were delayed significantly in rats after intracameral perfusion. The amplitude of b wave of D-ERG and O2 wave of OPs in group P+H were higher than which in group P. Zero hour after perfusion, the amplitudes of all waves in group P+H increased significantly (Plt;0.05). Twenty-four hours after perfusion, the retinal functional resumption of the rats in group P+H was better than which in group P. In group P+Q and P+Q+H, the delitescences of all waves of ERG and O2 wave of OPs were the longest and the amplitudes were the lowest, and some waves even disappeared.Conclusions The heat-shock response may improve the recovery ability of the retinal cells after injury of ischemic reperfusion.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：117-120)
In addition to its role as a sex hormone, estrogen aff ects the struc ture and function of many other systems such as the bone, the cardiovascular and the nervous system. Here, we review the most recent supporting evidence for es trogen as an important player in ocular fundus diseases, focusing particularly o n the effects of estrogen on these diseases and the underlying mechanisms. Base d on this, we also discuss the clinical applicability of estrogen in treating va rious agerelated disorders including agerelated macular degeneration and ret in al neurodegeneration. Our growing understanding of estrogenmediated action at a molecular level will provide insight into the controversies surrounding hormon e replacement therapy.
Objective To investigate the inhibitive effect of E2F decoy oligodeoxynucleotides (E2F decoy ODNs) on cultured human retinal pigment epithelial (HRPE) cells.Methods E2F decoy ODNs or scramble decoy ODNs at varied concentrations were put into the HRPE cells mediated by lipofectamineTM2000. The proliferative activity of HRPE was detected by methythiazolyl-terazollium assay, and the competitive combinative activity of E2F decoy ODNs and transcription factor E2F was detected by electrophoresis mobility-shift assay. Results The proliferation of HRPE was inhibited markedly by E2F decoy ODNs at the concentration of 0.2 μmol/L (P=0.002) in a dose-dependent manner but not by scrambled decoy. The results of electrophoresis mobility-shift assay showed that the combinative activity of transcription factor E2F was abolished completely by E2F decoy ODNs. Conclusions E2F decoy ODNs may sequence-specifically inhibit the combinative activity of transcripti on factor E2F,and inhibit the proliferation of HRPE cells.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2004，20：182-185)
Objective To explore the current situation and influencing factors of self-management behavior in patients with primary glaucoma, so as to provide a theoretical basis for formulating intervention strategies to improve patients’ self-management ability. Methods Using convenient sampling method, 400 patients with primary glaucoma visiting the Outpatient Department of Ophthalmology, West China Hospital of Sichuan University between September 2019 and March 2020 were selected. Their current situation of self-management behavior was investigated by self-management behavior questionnaire, and the influencing factors of self-management behavior were analyzed. Results A total of 381 valid questionnaires were recovered. The total score of self-management behavior of patients with primary glaucoma was 51.11±6.22, and the mean scores of life debugging dimension, functional health care dimension, and medical management dimension were 2.66±0.67, 3.02±0.81, and 3.13±0.60, respectively. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age [40-59 vs. <40 years old: unstandardized partial regression coefficient (b)=–2.830, 95% confidence interval (CI) (–4.813, –0.847), P=0.005; ≥60 vs. <40 years old: b=–2.660, 95%CI (–4.820, –0.498), P=0.016], occupation [in-service vs. farmers: b=2.639, 95%CI (0.303, 4.976), P=0.027; unemployed or retired vs. farmers: b=2.913, 95%CI (0.995, 4.831), P=0.003], smoking [smoking vs. non-smoking: b=–3.135, 95%CI (–5.196, –1.075), P=0.003], disease type [primary open-angle glaucoma vs. primary angle-closure glaucoma: b=–2.119, 95%CI (–3.317, –0.921), P=0.001], number of follow-up visits [≤2 vs. >2: b=–1.071, 95%CI (–2.118, –0.024), P=0.045], whether fixed doctor follow-up [unfixed vs. fixed: b=–2.619, 95%CI (–3.632, –1.605), P<0.001] were correlated with the total score of self-management behavior of patients with primary glaucoma. Conclusions The self-management behavior of patients with primary glaucoma is in the middle level. The main factors affecting the self-management behavior level of primary glaucoma patients include age, occupation, smoking, disease type, follow-up times, and fixed doctor’s follow-up. Ophthalmologists should pay attention to the current situation and influencing factors of self-management behavior and take feasible intervention measures to improve the self-management behavior of patients with primary glaucoma.
