ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the relationship between the changes of serum circFTO and microRNA-141-3p(miR-141-3p)levels and the different disease stages of diabetes retinopathy.METHODS: A total of 198 patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to our hospital from October 2019 to November 2022 were collected as the study subjects, the patients were grouped into non diabetes retinopathy(NDR)group(70 cases), non proliferative diabetes retinopathy(NPDR)group(66 cases)and proliferative diabetes retinopathy(PDR)group(62 cases)according to different stages; meantime, 67 volunteers with normal physical examination results were collected as the control group. The levels of serum circFTO and miR-141-3p were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR); Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the correlation between the serum circFTO, miR-141-3p and various indicators in patients with diabetes retinopathy; multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the influencing factors of diabetes retinopathy.RESULTS: CircFTO, systolic blood pressure(SBP), and diastolic blood pressure(DBP)in PDR group were higher than those in control group, NDR group and NPDR group, while miR-141-3p and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were lower than those in control group, NDR group and NPDR group(P<0.05). Fasting blood glucose(FPG)and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)in NDR group, NPDR group and PDR group were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05). The course of disease in PDR group was longer than that in NDR group and NPDR group(P<0.05). Serum circFTO in patients with diabetes retinopathy was positively correlated with SBP, DBP, FPG, HbA1c, and miR-141-3p was negatively correlated with SBP, DBP, FPG, HbA1c(all P<0.05). CircFTO was a risk factor for diabetes retinopathy, and miR-141-3p was a protective factor for diabetes retinopathy(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Serum circFTO is obviously increased and miR-141-3p is obviously decreased in patients with diabetes retinopathy, both of them are closely related to disease stage, and are expected to become important indicators for evaluating disease progress.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the clinical efficacy of different anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)drugs in the treatment of diabetic macular edema(DME), and analyze their relationship with optical coherence tomography(OCT)classification.METHODS: A total of 45 DME patients treated with ranibizumab(admitted to our hospital from February 2020 to February 2022)were selected as the ranibizumab group, and 45 DME patients treated with conbercept during the same period were selected as the conbercept group. The ranibizumab group was treated with retinal photocoagulation combined with ranibizumab, and the conbercept group was treated with retinal photocoagulation combined with conbercept. The improvement of symptoms(improvement time of macular edema, time of retinal thickness returning to normal, disappearance time of neovascularization and absorption time of fundus hemorrhage), levels of serum interleukin-6(IL-6)and VEGF, central macular thickness(CMT), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), and complications were compared between the two groups, and the relationship between their clinical efficacy and different OCT types were analyzed.RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the improvement time of macular edema, time of retinal thickness returning to normal, disappearance time of neovascularization and absorption time of fundus hemorrhage between the two groups(P>0.05); After treatment, the values of IL-6, VEGF and BCVA in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment(P<0.01), but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05); compared with before treatment, CMT was significantly decreased in both groups after treatment(P<0.05), and compared with ranibizumab group, the CMT was significantly decreased in the conbercept group(P<0.01); there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between two groups(P>0.05); there were significant differences in the total effective rate among patients with serous retinal detachment(SRD), cystoid macular edema(CME)and diffuse retinal thickening(DRT; P<0.05), among which DRT had the highest total effective rate and SRD had the lowest total effective rate.CONCLUSION: Both conbercept and ranibizumab in the treatment of DME can effectively improve the clinical symptoms of patients and reduce the inflammatory response, but conbercept can better reduce the level of CMT, and has better treatment effect on DRT-type DME patients.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To observe application of underwater bubble method capsulorhexis overmature period to improve the small incision cataract surgery, so as to explore the clinical value of the surgical method. ● METHODS: From Jul. 2012 to Mar. 2016 at the grassroots of blindness 58 people fail in the 66 eyes overmature period of cataract were randomly divided into underwent capsulorhexis by underwater bubble method to improve the small incision cataract surgery group ( 36 eyes of 30 cases ) and conventional viscoelastic agent underwent capsulorhexis small incision cataract surgery group (30 eyes of 28 cases). ● RESULTS: A total of 66 eyes in success rate of continuous circular capsulorhexis: 92% ( 33/36 eyes ) of underwater bubble method, method of viscoelastic agent only 40% ( 12/30 eyes ) . Two groups of cases of postoperative corneal endothelial cell density are compared with preoperative significantly reduced, no significant statistical difference between the two groups(P>0. 05). ● CONCLUSION: Underwater bubble method capsulorhexis difficult to overmature period of cataract surgery capsulorhexis solution is a better way.
ABSTRACT
?AlM: To observe the situations of different surgical methods on dry eyes in patients with pterygium excision combined transplantation. ?METHODS: Seventy-eight cases ofpterygium patients (81 eyes ) were randomly divided into three groups. Group A underwent pterygium excision combined large autologous conjunctival flap transplantation; group B underwent pterygium excision combined with small conjunctival flap;group C underwent pterygium excision combined with small conjunctival flap with autologous limbal stem cell. Repair of postoperative corneal epithelium, 1, 3mo preoperation and postoperation tear film break up time ( BUT ) and questionnaire of ocular surface disease index ( OSDl ) were observed among three groups, which caused the situation of dry eyes by pterygium and pterygium excision were evaluated. ?RESULTS: BUT: Group A was shorter than that in groups B and C at 15d postoperation (P0. 05). Postoperative dry eye ratio of group A was higher than that in groups B and C at 1mo postoperation ( P 0. 05 ) , but group C showed lower postoperative dry eye ratio. Corneal epithelium recover time of group A was longer than that in groups B and C (P0. 05), but group C showed a tendency to be shorter recover time. ? CONCLUSlON: Pterygium excision combined with small conjunctival flap and autologous limbal stem cell shows guickly corneal epithelium recover and low dry eye ratio and deserve to recommended.
ABSTRACT
AlM:To observe the efficacy of the multiple wave length laser in treating diabetic retinopathy combined with central retinal vein occlusion. METHODS:Totally 95 cases ( 100 eyes ) with diabetic retinopathy combined with central retinal vein occlusion were treated by multiple wave length laser. Krypton yellow laser was used for macular edema in focal photocoagulation and diffuse photocoagulation. For peripheral retina, krypton green or krypton red laser were used. Visual acuity, slit - lamp biomicroscopy, ophthalmoscopy and fundus fluorescein angiography were performed preoperatively and postoperatively. The patients were followed up for 12 to 48wk. ln this study, change in visual acuity and macular edema were observed in both groups, and statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS: The effective rate was 61. 2% in diffuse macular edema group and 86. 3% in focal macular edema group. The general effective rate of later was higher than the former, while the treatment effect had significant statistical difference (P CONCLUSlON:Multiple wave length laser is an effective and safe way to treat diabetic macular edema of diabetic retinopathy combined with central retinal vein occlusion, which is worth widely applying in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
AlM:To observe the clinical efficacy of two types of scleral-fixated posterior chamber intraocular lens ( lOL ) combined intra-capsule lens extraction to treat cataract dislocation. METHODS: After intra - capsule lens extraction of dislocated cataract, two types of lOL were used as scleral-fixated posterior chamber lOL . First group was with four seal loops, the second group was with two open loops. All 21 patients (23 eyes) took the examination of the best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, fundus, and lOL decentration using camera system attached to slit - lamp ophthalmoscope and lOL tilted using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) at 6mo after surgery.RESULTS: After 6mo, all patients had improved eye sight. There was significant difference in the mean lOL decentration between the two groups ( 0. 57mm vs 0. 79mm, P CONCLUSlON: lOL with four loops are more appropriate as scleral-fixated posterior chamber lOL with less tiltness and dicentration.
