Research progress in pathogenesis of white matter hyperintensity related dizziness in small cerebral vascular disease / 中国综合临床

With the development of neuroimaging technology, cerebral small vessel disease has become a hot research topic in recent years. It has been clearly related to cognitive decline, dementia and gait instability. However, recent studies have found that small cerebral vascular disease with white matter hyperintensities is the main cause of chronic dizziness in the elderly, but the pathogenesis is not completely clear, which may be related to brain neural network disconnection, visual dependence, eye movement disorder caused by abnormal brain tissue structure, oxidative stress regulation disorder, cerebral blood flow self-regulation disorder, and the interaction mechanism between vestibular system and emotional disorder.

Study on relationship between venous system and white matter hyperintensitiy in cerebral small vessel disease / 中国综合临床

White matter hyperintensity (WMH) is one of the major imaging markers of cerebral small vascular disease, which is prevalent in the elderly. At present, the pathogenesis of WMH is not clear, most of the previous studies focused on the arterial system, but the role of the venous system in WMH is attracting more and more attention. Small venous collagen hyperplasia, downstream intracranial venous dilatation and internal jugular venous reflux may be involved in the formation and development of white matter hyperintensity.

Electric screen time of urban preschoolers during and before COVID-19 / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To determine the influencing factors of electronic screen time of urban preschoolers before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, so as to provide a scientific basis for the control of digital screen use and early prevention of myopia among preschoolers.@*Methods@#Using multi stage cluster random sampling method, a cross sectional survey of 8 244 kindergarten students in a district of Shanghai was implemented, through parent questionnaire collecting the time child spent on various electronic screens before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, estimated the weighting screen time, and emphatically analyzed the relationship between family electronic screen supervision behavior and preschoolers weighting screen time.@*Results@#The proportion of daily over use time on average of mobile phones, computers and TV/projection screens among the surveyed preschool children during COVID-19 was 30.52%, 51.40% and 56.82%, respectively. On school days before the epidemic, the proportion was 21.94%, 41.80% and 47.51% respectively. After controlling for primary covariates, parents frequent control of children s electronic screen use, parents guidance for electronic screen use were significantly associated with lower weighted screen refractive time ( OR =0.60-0.77, P < 0.05 ). The use of electronic screen when parents accompanied their children, the use of electronic screen time by parents but not strictly implemented were significantly associated with higher weighted screen refractive time and increased screen refractive time ( OR =1.18-1.80, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Urban preschoolers electronic screen time was high during and before COVID-19. In the control measures of preschool children s electronic screen time, attention should be paid to the management of electronic screen use within the family and parents role model.

Laser photocoagulation or endolaser combined with vitrectomy for congenital optic disc pit maculopathy:"dam sign" of optical coherence tomography is a sign to indicate the anatomic success / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective To investigate the successful signs of laser photocoagulation or endolaser combined vitrectomy for congenital optic disc pit (ODP) with serous macular detachment.Methods A retrospective case analysis.Twelve eyes of 12 patients with congenital ODP complicated with serous macular detachment diagnosed in Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from 2003 to 2018 were included in this study.There were 2 males (2 eyes) and 8 females (8 eyes).The average age was 30.17 years old.Retinal laser photocoagulation and/or vitrectomy were performed in all the eyes.The optic disc and macular area were scanned using the tracking mode of the Germany Heidelberg Spectralis OCT instrument.The "dam-sign" change was a retinal choroidal scar on the channel between the ODP and the macula on the OCT image after treatment.The eyes were divided into a "dam-sign" change group (group A,10 eyes) and no "dam-sign" change group (group B,2 eyes).The BCVA of eyes in group A was 0.03-0.6.In group A,1 eye was treated with laser photocoagulation alone,9 eyes were treated with vitrectomy combined with laser photocoagulation.The BCVA of eyes in group B was 0.1.All the eyes in group B underwent vitrectomy combined with laser photocoagulation.The follow-up was ranged from 6 to 174 months.The same equipment and method before treatment were used for 1,3,6,12,18,and 24 months after treatment.The BCVA,absorption of subretinal fluid (SRF) and the formation of"dam-sign" change were observed.Results At the last follow-up,the BCVA of eyes in group A was 0.4-1.0 (0.4 in 1 eye,0.5 in 3 eyes,0.6 in 2 eyes,0.8 in 3 eyes,1.0 in 1 eye).In 9 eyes treated with vitrectomy combined with laser photocoagulation,SRF was completely absorbed.In 1 eye treated with laser photocoagulation alone,SRF remained in small amount.The BCVA of the two eyes in group B was 0.03 and 0.3,respectively;and SRF was not absorbed in both of them.Conclusions The "dam-sign" change near optic disc after laser photocoagulation can promote SRF absorption and improve BCVA.It can be used as a success indicator after treatment.
