Clinical Value Evaluation of DR Corneal Suture Ring Localization and CT 3D Reconstruction Localization of Orbital Foreign Body / 中山大学学报(医学科学版)

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical value of DR corneal suture ring localization and CT 3D reconstruction localization of orbital foreign bodies. MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on patients （51 cases） suspected of ocular foreign bodies admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2020 At the same time， DR corneal suture ring localization and CT three-dimensional reconstruction localization of orbital foreign bodies were performed， and the detection rate of foreign bodies by the two methods was calculated to analyze the location of ocular foreign bodies. ResultsThere were 38 cases of intraorbital foreign body identified by DR corneal suture ring localization method， and 46 cases of intraorbital foreign body identified by CT three-dimensional reconstruction localization method. The accuracy of CT three-dimensional reconstruction localization method was 90.20%， which was higher than that of DR corneal suture ring localization method 74.51% （P<0.05）. Intraocular foreign bodies in 23 cases could be distinguished by DR corneal suture ring localization， and 25 cases by CT 3D reconstruction localization. The maximum diameter of intraocular foreign bodies that could be distinguished by CT 3D reconstruction localization was （2.65±0.14） mm. The diameter of intraspherical foreign body was （2.94±0.36） mm （P<0.05） lower than that which could be distinguished by DR corneal suture ring localization method. The results of DR corneal suture ring localization of orbital foreign body showed no difference compared with the results of CT 3D reconstruction localization （P>0.05）. Forty cases of high density images inside and outside the eye could be clearly distinguished by CT 3D reconstruction. By using DR corneal suture ring localization method， 23 cases were confirmed to be intraocular high-density shadows， and 15 cases could not be confirmed to be intraocular high-density shadows （P < 0.05）. ConclusionsFor the location of intraorbital foreign bodies， CT three-dimensional reconstruction can be used as a conventional method for locating ocular foreign bodies with high resolution and accuracy， and can detect fine metal particles inside the eyeball. Meanwhile， for a few small foreign bodies in the iris root， ciliary body and lateral suspension ligament， it is necessary to locate orbital foreign bodies with DR corneal suture ring.

Endophthalmitis isolates and antibiotic sensitivities: A 8-year review of culture proven cases / 中华实验眼科杂志

Background Endophthalmitis is a serious,sight-threatening condition.Identifying the causative microorganisms is very important for available treatment of endophthalmitis.Objective This survey was to analyze the spectrum of organisms causing culture-proven endophthalmitis and their sensitivities to commonly antimicrobial agents.Methods Medical data of patients with culture-proven endophthalmitis at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center from January 2003 through December 2010 were respectively reviewed.The outcomes included intravitreal isolates and antibiotic sensitivities were analyzed.Results Four hundred and sixty-nine strains of organisms were isolated from 447 eyes of 447 patients with infective endophthalmitis,including 22 eyes of polymicrobial infection.In the organisms,gram-positive organisms were 241 (51.4％),fungi were 125 (26.7％) and gram-negative organisms were 103 (22.0％).The most common organisms were Staphylococcus epidermidis in 29.4％,Aspergillus in 7.7％ and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 5.3％.In this group of infective patients,the most common clinic settings were posttraumatic endophthalmitis (72.7％),and then were postoperative endophthalmitis (10.5％),endogenous endophthalmitis (9.8％) and keratitis (6.9％).Most gram-positive organism and gram-negative organism were sensitive to levofloxacin and cefoperazone.The susceptibility rate of gram-positive organism to chloromycetin was increased in 2007-2010 years compared with 2003-2006 years (x2=5.398,P＜0.05).The susceptibility rate to ciprofloxacin of gram-negative organisms declined (x2 =5.398,P ＜ 0.05),but that to rifampicin increased in the duration of 2007-2010 compared with 2003-2006 (x2 =4.500,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Gram-positive organisms are the most commonly causative organisms of endophthalmitis.Most bacterial organisms are sensitive to levofloxacin and cefoperazone.Local data of culturing and susceptibility test offers a guideline for the treatment of infectious endophthalmitis.
