ABSTRACT
AIM: To evaluate the macular microcirculation changes in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR)by optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA), and correlate the risk factors that may affect the macular microcirculation, so as to provide a clinical basis for early screening, diagnosis and therapeutic intervention for DR.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 75 patients(75 eyes)with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM)who came to the ophthalmology outpatient clinic and ward of Xi'an Central Hospital from May to October 2022 were collected, and the DM patients were further divided into non-DR(NDR)group, non-proliferative DR(NPDR)group and proliferative DR(PDR)group, with 28 eyes, 25 eyes and 22 eyes in each group respectively. OCTA was applied to perform a 3mm×3mm blood flow imaging scan of the macular retina to automatically obtain the vascular density(VD)of the superficial retinal macular foveal, the parafoveal(1～3mm), as well as the macular 3mm×3mm and the area of macular foveal avascular zone(FAZ). Furthermore, the alteration of these parameters in patients with different degrees of DR was analyzed.RESULTS: Compared with the NDR group, the VD of the 3mm×3mm superficial retinal capillary(SCP)in the macular region was decreased in both PDR and NPDR group(all P<0.017), and the VD of the parafoveal was decreased in each quadrant(P<0.017), with the most significant decrease in the PDR group. The FAZ area of patients in the PDR and NPDR groups was significantly larger than that in the NDR group(P<0.017). Age, homocysteine, best corrected visual acuity(LogMAR), axial length and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)of patients with DR were negatively correlated with VD in the macular foveal(P<0.05), while homocysteine, best corrected visual acuity(LogMAR), axial length, and the duration of diabetes were negatively correlated with VD in the macular 3mm×3mm(P<0.05). Triglycerides, best corrected visual acuity(LogMAR), and HbA1c were negatively correlated with VD in the parafoveal(P<0.05), while total cholesterol and central macular thickness had no significant correlation with VD(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: The microcirculation changes in the macular area of DR patients can be monitored by OCTA, and the systemic condition of DR patients is closely related to their macular microcirculation.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To gather baseline data on visual acuity by screening students from different stages in the same administrative district of Xi'an, as well as to analyze and investigate disparities in myopia rates among students from different stages in this area.METHODS: A total of 13 707 students from 21 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 3 general high schools and 1 vocational high school were randomly selected for uncorrected distance visual acuity and computerized refraction testing in 28 schools with a random sampling approach.RESULTS: The detection rate of myopia in elementary, middle, high and vocational high schools in the same region of Xi'an were 32.27%, 72.07%, 81.22% and 65.12%, respectively; The total myopia rate of students was 47.81%; The myopia rate of girls was higher than that of boys in all grades; The myopia rates of elementary and middle schools increased with the growth of grades; The percentage of high myopia increased from 2.40% in elementary schools to 16.51% in high schools with the growth of grades.CONCLUSION: The myopia rate in different stages of the same region is different, and it tends to rise with the gronth of grades; Girls have a higher myopia rate than boys; Compared to the results of the national survey on myopia in different grades of children and adolescents in 2018, the myopia rate in the same region has decreased significantly in 2021 of the elementary school level, although myopia rate of middle school and high school stage do not rise, the decline is not obvious.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the feasibility of establishing a regional network management system to prevent and control the disability in high-risk infants. Methods:From July, 2015 to June, 2016, 1252 type B high-risk infants who born alive and registered in Lianyungang were divided into control group and experimental group by receiving network management system or not. The network high-risk infants management system was used to monitor the growth, diagnosis and early intervention of high-risk infants in the experimental group, while the control group was managed in the conventional way. A comprehensive physical examination and systematic assessment of 940 high-risk infants finally were conducted after two years. Their parents' compliance, developmental state, degree of dysplasia and function of dysplastic child were compared. Results:The compliance of parents was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2 = 44.161,P < 0.001), as well as the outcome when the infants were two years old (χ2 = 204.340,P < 0.001). The younger they were found deviated and intervened, the better the outcome was (χ2 = 42.038,P < 0.001), and the less degree of dysplasia when they were two years old (χ2 = 10.508,P < 0.01). The deviation/abnormality condition was less in the experimental group than in the control group (χ2 = 17.446,P < 0.01). The development of functional area was better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.206,P < 0.05), expect body structure (P > 0.05), in the infants with developmental deviation/abnormality. Conclusion:The establishment of network management system for high-risk infants can significantly improve the management compliance of parents and outcome of development of high-risk infants, to prevent disability.
ABSTRACT
AlM:To observe the clinical effect of 2. 2mm micro-incision phacoemulsification ( Phaco ) combined intraocular lens( lOL) implantation in the eyes with short axial length and compared with traditional 3. 0mm incision phacoemulsification operation for clinical work and research objective information.METHODS:ln this prospective clinical control study, 60 cases (60 eyes) with cataract performed 2. 2mm micro-incision phacoemulsification combined lOL implantation ( micro-incision group, implanted Akreos Ml60 lOL ) and 3. 0mm incision phacoemulsification operation ( small incision group, implanted Akreos Adapt lOL ) , whose axial length ranged 17. 68 ~ 21. 32mm, average 20. 35 ± 0. 61mm. Average axiall ength respectively of two groups:20.57±0.39mm and 20.21±0.52mm. Effect Phaco time ( EPT ) and average ultrasonic energy ( AVE ) were recorded. The best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( lOP ) , anterior chamber depth ( ACD) , corneal endothelial cell density and the operative complications were observed postoperatively. All cases were followed up at 1, 7, 30 and 90d after operation.RESULTS:EPT and AVE between two groups had no statistical significance(P>0. 05). At the 1, 7 and 30d after surgery, induced astigmatism ( SlA ) of micro-incision group was lower than that of small-incision group. SlA between two groups had statistically significant ( P 0. 05). At the 7d, the BCVA between two groups had statistical significance(P0. 05). At the 7, 30 and 90d, corneal endothelial cell density of micro-incision group was higher than that of small incision group. Corneal endothelial cell density between two groups had no statistical significance. The mean ACD was significant increased postoperatively than preoperatively and had no statistical significance ( P>0. 05 ) . The anterior chamber stabilized during the operation. There was not incision hot harmed during operation and postoperation.CONCLUSlON:Compared with 2. 2mm micro-incision and traditional 3. 0mm incision phacoemulsification, two groups have the same safety and 2. 2mm micro-incision phacoemulsification has small SlA, organization small harm and improved visual acuity in early stage.
