ABSTRACT
AIM:To evaluate the clinical therapeutic efficacy of the Qi ming granule for macular edema ( ME ) in diabetic patients after phacoemulsification. METHODS:In this was a prospective clinical comparison study, 57 diabetic patients ( 76 eyes ) who underwent phacoemulsification were recruited and divided into two groups:treatment group (34 eyes) and control group (42 eyes) . All the patients in treatment group were given oral administration Qi ming granule (4. 5g, tid) and vitamin C ( 0. 1g, tid ) for 6mo postoperatively, while vitamin C ( 0.1g, tid ) for the controls. General clinical examinations, including blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin, as well as comprehensive standardized ophthalmic examinations were performed. Optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) were used to detect macular edema incidence and measure central field retinal thickness. RESULTS: No significant difference was found in the levels of blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, course of disease, and macular thickness between the two groups during the initial visits. At the 6th month, 2 eyes ( 6%) eyes had clinically apparent macular edema in treatment group, while 6 ( 14%) eyes had clinically apparent macular edema in control group (P=0. 285). The central subfield retinal thickness values were significantly lower in the treatment group ( 211. 76±41. 21μm ) than those in control group (278. 36±48. 94μm) (P CONCLUSION:Qi ming granule can significantly reduce the incidences of macular edema and suppresses increasing retinal thickening after phacoemulsification in patients with diabetes mellitus.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To research the application analysis of trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification treating patients with primary angle-closed glaucoma ( PACG) and cataract. METHODS: Seventy-three patients from September, 2011 to September, 2013, with primary angle- closed glaucoma and cataract, were selected in our research. Patients were all treated with trabeculectomy combined with ultrasonic emulsification, and the therapeutic effect was observed. RESULTS: The effects of trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification treating primary angle-closed glaucoma and cataract in reducing intraocular pressure were better, and postoperative visual acuity results of the research objects were satisfactory. And it could deepen the central anterior chamber depth effectively. All the research objects had few complications. CONCLUSION: Trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification treating primary angle - closed glaucoma and cataract can achieve a good result for reducing intraocular pressure, postoperative visual acuity recovery and correction, and the surgical success rate is high, with low complication rates. It is worthy of widely clinical application.
