ABSTRACT
Background Expulsive choroidal haemorrhage is a severe complication during the intraocular operation.To create a feasible animal model of expulsive choroidal haemorrhage is very important for the study of its nature disease course and therefore prevention and treatment.Objecfive Present study was to modify the method of establishing acute choroidal haemorrhage animal model and explore the risk factor and pathogenesis mechanism.Methods The suprachoroidal explusive haemorrhage animal models were created by modifying the Zauberman method to ligate 2-4 vortex veins and rapidly intravenous injection of 250 ml normal solution to elevate the intraocular pressure(IOP),and then low the IOP by opening the anterior chamber via limbal incision.The bleeding of choroid and detachment of retina were examined by B-type ultrasound immediately,1,2 and 4 weeks after operation to assess the disease alteration with lapse of time.The samples of eyeballs were prepared in mentioned above time points for the histopathologieal evaluation of retina tissue.Results The animal models of suprachoroidal explusive haemorrhage were established bv this modified method with the successful rate 100％,and the manifestation resembled a clinical disease course.The shape,range and location of choroidal bleeding and retinal detachment were determined,and the diagnosis and change of suprachoroidal explusive haemorrhage with time were clarified using B-uhrasonography.The histopathological change revealed the breaking of Brueh's membrane and retinal pigmentary layer.It was verified that the dominant pathological change of retina was retinal destroy in 1 week after operation,and in 4 weeks after operation,the main pathological mechanism was proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen fiber. Conclusion The consequence procedure of modified Zauberman method,quickly intravenous injection of normal solution and puncture of the anterior chamber can create an ideal animal model of suprachoroidal explusive haemorrhage.The rapid IOP descent is a main risk factor of supraehoroidal explusive haemorrhage.The results of supraehoroidal explusive haemorrhage is severe destroy of retina and ehoroid.This study implies that supraehoroidal explusive haemorrhage is likely to be prevented and treated in the early stage.
