ABSTRACT
Background Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) is secondary to retinal ischemia and hypoxia.Iris fluorescein angiography (IFA) can be used for early detection of NVG,but it can not reflect the condition of retinal blood vessels comprehensively.IFA combined with fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) can detect the condition of retina and iris neovascularization comprehensively,but its application on diabetic retinopathy(DR) with NVG was rare in China.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical application of IFA combined with FFA in proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) patients with NVG.Methods A retrospectively study was designed.One hundred and thirty-three eyes with PDR were enrolled in Henan Eye Hospital from February 2013 to January 2016,including 100 eyes with no iris diseases,21 eyes with rubeosis iridis,and 12 eyes with NVG.All eyes underwent ophthalmic examinations that included best-corrected visual acuity,intraocular pressure,slit lamp,IFA and FFA.The differences of IFA examination and slit lamp examination in the eyes with rubeosis iridis were compared and statistical analyzed by McNemar nonparametric test.Results In this study,100 eyes with no iris leakage were identified by IFA,32 eyes with panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatment history had no retinal neovascularization and 68 eyes had retinal neovascularization;21 rubeosis iridis eyes with iris leakage at pupillary border or on iris surface were observed at the early stage of IFA,and all the eyes were identified having retinal neovascularization according to FFA images;12 NVG eyes were observed having iris neovascular leakage on iris surface at the early stage of IFA,and all the eyes were identified having retinal neovascularization according to FFA images.The detection rate of IFA examination on rubeosis iridis was 100％ (21/21),which was higher than 71.43％ (15/21) of slit lamp examination,and there was a significant difference between the two detection methods (P =0.03).Conclusions IFA combined with FFA can detect PDR with rubeosis iridis early,and it is helpful to guide the treatment timely.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the effects of double circumferential fibrotomy(CF)in the improvement of periodontal attachment of the teeth with periodontal disease.Methods:22 migrated incisors of 4 adults were randomly assigned to one-time CF group (T1 )and double CF group(T2)by center line.Periapical intraoral radiographic examination was performed using paralleling technique at pre-and post-leveling-alignment stage of the teeth.Root length,crown-root ratio and the distance of CEJ-AC were measured.The periodontal in-dicators were also recorded during the orthodontic treatment.Data were statistically analysed by comparative t-test.Results:CEJ-AC and crown root ratio reduction was greater in T2 group than those in T1 group(P 0.05).Conclusion:Double circumferential fibrotomy can improve periodontal attachment, reasonable orthodontic force does not lead to remarkable root resorption of the periodontitis inflicted teeth.
ABSTRACT
Background It is thought in recently that photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an effective treatment method for chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC), but the dosage of verteporfin and its long-term efficacy and complications is rarely elucidated ever before.Objective This study was to observe the long-term efficacy and safety of 60％ dose verteporfin PDT for chronic CSC.Methods This is a retrospective study and a self-controlled design was used.The clinical data of 25 eyes of 21 chronic CSC patients who received 60％-dose verteporfin PDT in Henan Eye Institute from January 2009 to May 2010 were reviewed, with the male 18 (85.71％) and female 3 (14.29％) as well as monocular CSC 17 patients and binocular CSC 4 patients.The average ages of the patients were (43±5) years.Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) , indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), optical coherence tomography(OCT) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were examined in all the patients before and after treatment.PDT with the 60％-dose verteporfin (3.6 mg/m2) was carried out on the CSC eyes.The treated eyes were examined 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after PDT.The BCVA,subfoveal choroid thickness,FFA and ICGA findings before and after PDT were compared.The following-up duration was 5 years or more.Results The BCVA before and 3 months after PDT were 0.5 ±0.1 and 0.9±0.2, respectively, with a statistically significant difference between them (t =19.17,P =0.00).The subfoveal choroidal thickness value 3 months after PDT was (326.56±39.47) μm,which was significantly reduced in comparison with (486.24 ±47.53) μm before PDT (t =25.17, P =0.00).FFA and ICGA showed that the leakage of fluorescein (hyperfluorescence) was disappeared in all the treated eyes.No systemic or local adverse effects and recurrence were observed during the follow-up period.Conclusions On the basis of the results of this study and available information,60％-dose verteporfin PDT seems to have a better long-term efficacy and safety than full-dose verteporfin in treating chronic CSC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To probe into the operative methods, effects and reasons of failure for retinal detachment with choroid detachment.Methods Thirty-one cases (31 eyes) with choroid detachment and proliferative vitreous retinopathy (PVR) were given vitreoretinal surgery, stripping of pre-membrane and injection of inert gas or silicone oil into vitreous body. Results The retina was totally reattached in 22 cases (22 eyes), partly reattached in 5 cases (5 eyes),unattached in 4 cases (4 eyes),which was accounted for 70.9%,16.1% and 12.9% in 31 cases (31 eyes) respectively. Visual acuity improved in 25 eyes and no change in 5 eyes and decreased in 1 eye. The main cause of operation failure was possibly related to the severe anterior PVR. Conclusion Vitreoretinal surgery can improve the successful rate of retinal detachment with choroid detachment.
