ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the visual field loss after 577 nm krypton pan-retinal photocoagulation (PRP) in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy (DR).Methods A prospective clinical studies.Forty-six eyes of 26 patients with proliferative DR (PDR) and severe non-proliferative DR (NPDR) diagnosed by clinical examination from No.306 Hospital of PLA during January 2014 and December 2015 were included in this study.Among them,21 eyes of NPDR and 20 eyes of PDR;13 eyes with diabetic macular edema (DME) (DME group) and 28 eyes without DME (non-DME group).All eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),fundus color photography,fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) examinations.The visual field index (VFI) and visual field mean defect (MD) values were recorded by Humphrey-7401 automatic visual field examination (center 30° visual field).The BCVA of DR eyes was 0.81 ± 0.28;the VFI and MD values were (89.8± 8.4)％ and-7.5 ± 3.85 dB,respectively.The BCVA of the eyes in the without DME group and DME group were 0.92±0.20 and 0.57±0.27,the VFI were (90.86±7.86)％ and (87.46± 9.41)％,the MD values were-6.86± 3.43 and 8.87 ± 4.48 dB.PRP was performed on eyes using 577 nm krypton laser.The changes of VFI,MD and BCVA were observed at 1,3,and 6 months after treatment.Results Compared with before treatment,the VFI of DR eyes decreased by 12.0％,12.3％ and 14.8％ (t=7.423,4.549,4.79;P＜0.001);the MD values were increased by-4.55,-4.75,6.07 dB (t=-8.221,-5.313,-5.383;P＜0.001) at 1,3 and 6 months after treatment,the differences were statistically significant.There was no difference on VFI (t=1.090,-0.486;P＞0.05) and MD value (t=-0.560,-0.337;P＞0.05) at different time points after treatment.Compared with before treatment,the BCVA was significantly decreased in DR eyes at 1 month after treatment,the difference was statistically significant (t=2.871,P＜0.05).Before and after treatment,the BCVA of the DME group was lower than that of the non-DME group,the difference were statistically significant (t=4.560,2.848,3.608,5.694;P＜0.001);but there was no differences on the VFI (t=1.209,0.449,0.922,0.271;P＞0.05) and MD values (t=1.582,0.776,0.927,1.098;P＞0.05) between the two groups.Conclusion The range of 30° visual field loss is about 12％-14.8％ after 577 nm krypton laser PRP for DR.VFI and MD can quantitatively analyze the and extent of visual field loss after PRP treatment.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:J2 takes functional domain (MHC CD4-D1/) of complex conjugate of CD4 molecule and MHC class II molecule as a target, and is a smal molecule compound obtained by computer screening from a chemical data containing hundreds of thousands of organic compounds. In the previous study, J2 was used in mouse models of skin transplantation and keratoplasty by oral and intraperitoneal injection. Results verified that J2 could prolong the survival time of grafts, and suppress occurrence of rejection. To better play the role of a drug targeting and to reduce systemic toxicity, J2 wil be further utilized in local treatment of keratoplasty rejection. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibitory effect of new immunosuppressive agent J2 on CD4+ and CD8+T cel immune functions in rat models receiving alogenic penetrating keratoplasty. METHODS:Alogeneic penetrating keratoplasty model was established using the adult female Wistar rats as donors and Sprague-Dawley rats as recipients. Group A: normal Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with 0.05 mL placebo subconjunctivaly. Surgery rats were randomly divided into three groups. Group B: alograft rats were injected with 0.05 mL placebo subconjunctivaly after autologous keratoplasty. Group C: alograft rats were injected with 0.05 mL placebo subconjunctivaly. Group D: alograft rats were injected with 1% J2-nanosuspension 0.05 mL subconjunctivaly. The distribution of T cel subsets in peripheral blood was detected using flow cytometry at 3 days, 1, 2 and 3 weeks after transplantation and compared among groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There was no significant difference in total CD3+ T cels, CD4+ T cels, CD8+ T cels and CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood lymphocytes in group B at various time points. At 3 days and 1 week after surgery in group C, no significant difference in total CD3+ T cels, CD4+ T cels and CD8+ T cels was detected. At 1 and 2 weeks, the number of total CD3+ T cels, CD4+ T cels and CD8+ T cels increased, showing significant differences (P < 0.05). In group D, no significant hyperplasy was found in CD4+ T cels and CD8+ T cels at 1 and 2 weeks. The horizontal comparison of the same time point: the total CD3+ T lymphocytes of group D was significantly less than group C at 3 days, 1 and 2 weeks after operation (P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference at 3 weeks between the group D and group C. The number of CD4+ T lymphocytes in group D was less than in group C at 3 days and 1 week, but with no significant difference. The ratio of CD4+/CD8+ had no significant difference in group D compared with group C at 3 days, 1 and 3 weeks. J2 inhibits T lymphocyte proliferation and then inhibits T cel-mediated corneal alograft rejection.
ABSTRACT
Background Influence of weightlessness on visual function has been a hot topic in aerospace medicine field.Electroretinography (ERG) is valuable tool of evaluating visual function.Objective This study aims to observe the influence of head down tilt simulated weightlessness on ERG.MethodHead down tilt for 6° was adopted in 6 healthy volunteers.Flash ERG,including rod response,maxium response,cone response,oscillatory potentials (OPs) and 30 Hz flicker was recorded,and the latency and amplitude from each wave were analyzed before,two days and five days after trial.The record procedure followed the ISCEV standard for full field clinical electroretinography (2008 update).Oral informed consent was obtained from all the subjects prior to the trail.Results No significant differences were detected in the latencies and amplitudes of a,b waves of cone response and 30 Hz flicker among various time points(P＞0.05).The latencies were significantly prolonged in b wave of rod and a,b waves of maxim responses(P＜0.01),but no obvious change was found in amplitudes (P＞0.05).Both the latency and amplitude of all of the wavelets of OPs were considerably among the different time points(P＜0.05-0.01),and the ∑OPs was evidently different among the different time points(P＜0.05).Conclusion Head down tilt simulated weightlessness induce the abnormality of visual function in the early stage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the influence of head-down tilt on visual evoked potential.Methods Six healthy volunteers were exposed to-6? head-down tilt.The visual evoked potential were measured before the test,the second day and the fifth day of the test under different space frequency.Results No significant difference was found in the latency of P100 before and after the test.The amplitude of P100 had significant change under high space frequency.But not the same happened on middle and low space frequency.Conclusion head-down tilt can induce the change of visual evoked potential under high space frequency,which means the weightlessness may influent the visual function.
