ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the clinical efficacy of femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis in the treatment of acute angle-closure glaucoma complicated with cataract.METHODS: A total of 53 patients(60 eyes)with primary acute angle closure glaucoma complicated with cataract admitted to our hospital from April 2020 to February 2021 were selected. They were divided into two groups according to the surgical method, with 28 cases(30 eyes)who were treated with femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis in group A, and 25 cases(30 eyes)who were treated with traditional cataract phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis in group B. The effective phacoemulsification time(EPT)and cumulative dissipated energy(CDE)during surgery in two groups were recorded. Patients were followed up to 3mo after surgery, and the intraocular pressure, anterior chamber depth(ACD), best corrected visual acuity, corneal endothelial cell loss rate(ECL)and surgical complications were observed in both groups.RESULTS: The postoperative intraocular pressure was significantly decreased and ACD was significantly increased(all P<0.05), and there was no difference between the two groups(all P>0.05). The postoperative best corrected visual acuity of the two groups was significantly better than that before surgery(P<0.05), and group A was significantly better than group B at 1d after surgery(P<0.05). The EPT, CDE, ECL and incidence of complications(7% vs. 27%)in group A were significantly lower than those in group B(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis in the treatment of primary acute angle-closure glaucoma combined with cataract has a significant therapeutic effect, which can effectively improve surgical safety, reduce the rate of corneal endothelial cell loss, and have fewer complications.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To measure the levels of IL-8 and IL-12p70 in the aqueous humor of patients with primary acute angle-closure glaucoma(AACG)and age-related cataract(ARC), and to investigate the clinical significance.<p>METHODS:Totally 29 eyes of 29 AACG patients, and 17 eyes of 17 ARC patients were enrolled in the study from October 2019 to December 2020. The levels of IL-8 and IL-12p70 were measured in the aqueous humor using Cytometric Beads Array. The clinical information was recorded in the same time for the correlation.<p>RESULTS:The level of IL-8 in AACG group was statistically elevated compared with the control group(Z= -5.384, P<0.05). However the IL-12p70 level did not differ in AACG group compared with ARC group(Z= -1.587, P=0.112). The IL-8 level was positively correlated with the duration of acute attack(rs=0.387, P=0.038). The concentrations of IL-8 and IL-12p70 in the filtration surgery group were significantly increased than that of the non-filtration surgery group(P<0.05).<p>CONCLUSION: The level of the inflammatory factor IL-8 in the aqueous humor of patients with AACG was significantly elevated. With the progression of the disease, the concentration of the immune-related factor IL-12p70 increased differentially. Both inflammation and immunity may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AACG.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To observe the clinical effect of femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis in the management of acute angle-closure glaucoma with cataract.<p>METHODS:Retrospective study. From March 2019 to April 2021, 34 eyes of 29 acute angle-closure glaucoma with cataract patients were performed femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis. Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure(IOP), grading of chamber angle, central anterior chamber depth, corneal endothelial cell count and central corneal thickness were mesaured and analyzed preoperatively and at 1d, 1wk, 1mo.The postoperative complications were analyzed.<p>RESULTS: There was a statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative BCVA at 1mo(<i>Z</i>= -5.126, <i>P</i><0.01). IOP at 1d, 1wk and 1mo were 16.72±2.12mmHg, 13.73±1.68mmHg and 12.87±3.54mmHg respectively, which were different from 28.67±4.13mmHg before surgery(all<i> P</i><0.01). The range of atrial angle adhesion at 1mo after the surgery was significantly reduced compared with preoperative(<i>t</i>=21.32, <i>P</i><0.01). The depth of central anterior chamber, the open distance of atrial angle and the included angle of trabecular iris at 1mo after the surgery were significantly greater than preoperative(<i>t</i>= -3.37,-3.68, -5.61, all <i>P</i><0.01). There were no significant differences in corneal endothelial cell count and central corneal thickness(<i>P></i>0.05). Postoperative satisfaction was high without serious complications.<p>CONCLUSION:Femtosecond laser-assisted phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis may be an effective treatment option for acute angle-closure glaucoma complicated with cataract, is safe, effective and has fewer complications.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To report a case of simultaneous bilateral acute angle closure attack combined with bilateral choroidal detachment in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).CASE SUMMARY: A 63-year-old male who had a history of several months of diarrhea, abdominal pain, and weight loss visited the emergency room with sudden bilateral blurred vision accompanied with headache, periocular pain, nausea, and vomiting. His visual acuity was finger counting in both eyes and the intraocular pressure (IOP) was 49/44 mmHg (right/left). The anterior chamber depth was three times the corneal thickness in the center and less than 1/4 of the corneal thickness in the periphery in both eyes. Maximum medical therapy had no effect and emergency cataract surgery combined with vitrectomy was performed on the right eye. During surgery, severe choroidal detachment was noted. One day after surgery, choroidal detachment was also found in the left eye and emergency cataract surgery with suprachoroidal fluid drainage was performed. Approximately 1 month after surgery, choroidal detachment of both eyes regressed without systemic therapy. The IOP was 14/7 mmHg (right/left) with a visual acuity of 0.32/0.4 (right/left). The blood test performed in the emergency room showed a positive result for AIDS and the patient started medical therapy.CONCLUSIONS: In patients with AIDS, bilateral simultaneous acute angle closure attack combined with choroidal detachment may rarely develop. Although choroidal effusion can regress spontaneously, combined suprachoroidal fluid drainage is recommended when a surgical intervention is required.
ABSTRACT
@#AIM: To assess the clinical efficacy of phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation with goniosynechialysis(PEI+GSL)for acute angle closure glaucoma(AACG)and cataract with extensive angle closure synechiae.<p>METHODS: A retrospective study, we studied 35 eyes of 32 patients with AACG and cataract in our hospital. The extent of anterior chamber angle-closure synechiae was defined as an eye with >180°. All patients underwent PEI+GSL and completed an ophthalmologic examination including vision, intraocular pressure(IOP), anterior chamber depth(ACD), angle-opening distance(AOD500), trabecular-iris space area(TISA500)were observed at 1d, 1wk, 1mo and 3mo after cataract surgery. The angle closure range and retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)thickness changes at postoperative 1mo and 3mo were observed, and recorded complications.<p>RESULTS: Postoperative 3mo BCVA(0.334±0.154)and IOP(14.63±3.59mmHg)were improved compared with preoperative(0.914±0.290, 42.54±8.06mmHg)(<i>P</i><0.05). ACD(3.203±0.214mm), OCT angle parameters AOD500 and TISA500(0.308±0.014, 0.315±0.015mm, 0.134±0.013, 0.139±0.018mm2)were significantly increased compared with preoperation. The extent of angle closure with gonioscopy(72.32±28.33°)decreased compared preoperation(215.29°±30.66°), and RNFL thickness thinner than preoperation(<i>P</i><0.001). Changes in AOD500 and TISA500 for both nasal and temporal were negatively correlated with IOP, but not with changes in ACD, and no significant complications occurred in the 3mo after surgery.<p>CONCLUSION: The treatment of PEI+GSL can improve vision, deeper ACD and effectively open ACA in the early stage, thus controlling IOP.

ABSTRACT
Objective To measure the levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the aqueous humor of patients with acute primary angle-closure glaucoma (APACG),and its correlation with the patients' prognosis after trabeculectomy.Methods This retrospective case-control study included 19 patients with APACG who experienced a failed trabeculectomy (case group) and 57 age-and sex-matched patients with APAGG who underwent successful trabeculectomy (control group).Aqueous humor was collected before trabeculectomy for the detection of MCP-1 levels in the both groups by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.And finally,logistic regression analysis was applied to assess the risk factors for failed trabeculectomy.Results The MCP-1 concentration in aqueous humor was (5688.04 ± 2099.99)ng · L-1 in the case group and (2077.57 ± 568.44)ng · L-1 in the control group,and the difference between both groups were significant (P ＜ 0.001).Logistic regression analysis revealed MCP-1 level (OR =1.005;95％ CI =1.001-1.008) and a shallow anterior chamber after surgery (OR =31.430;95％ CI =1.577-57.350) were the independent risk factors for failed trabeculectomy procedures.Conclusion MCP-1 levels in aqueous humor are higher in APACG eyes with failed trabeculectomy than those with successful one during 1-year follow-up,so MCP-1 level is considered as an independent risk factor for failed trabeculectomy.
ABSTRACT
·AIM: To explore whether the drainage angle could be reopened by surgery in patients with severe acute angle-closure glaucoma at " the greatest degree " of angle closure, and to study the treatment methods, such as double-paracentesis, phacoemulsification combined with goniosychialysis, and the effectiveness. ·METHODS: Retrospective observational case series. From November 2008, to November 2015, there were 33 patients with severe acute angle-closure glaucoma and 360° angle closure. Drug treatment showed no effect on them, so initial double-paracentesis ( anterior chamber paracentesis combined with vitreous paracentesis ) was applied. Then, either phacoemulsification combined with goniosychialysis or trabeculectomy surgery was performed after 7-14d, which was chosen based on the result of gonioscope during the surgery. The intraocular pressure, angle changes, and complications were observed. The follow-up period was 6mo to 3a. ·RESULTS: Of 33 participants enrolled, 32 had normal intraocular pressure after " double-paracentesis" ( 2 had normal intraocular pressure after laser peripheral iridotomy ). The mean intraocular pressure was significantly reduced from 53. 4 ± 10. 7mmHg to 16. 9 ± 13. 2mmHg ( t= 9. 21, P<0. 001 ) by applying " double-paracentesis", and 1 still had higher intraocular pressure. The mean intraocular pressure ( 16. 7 ± 4. 8mmHg ) was 0. 2mmHg lower after phacoemulsification than after" double- paracentesis " while there was no significant difference (t=0. 38,P>0. 05). One patient had abnormal intraocular pressure until 30d after phacoemulsification. Every participant had 360° angle closed before " double-paracentesis", 32 patients had opened angle ( mean 131. 8°± 111. 3°) after " double-paracentesis " and mean (228. 6°± 108. 3°) during phacoemulsification, and mean (234. 6°± 107. 2°) at 3mo after phacoemulsification. There was a significant difference between the post -paracentesis and intraoperative values ( t = 4. 52, P <0. 001 ). There was no difference between the intraoperative and postoperative values ( t = 0. 46, P>0. 05). No patients had serious adverse events. · CONCLUSION: For the " maximum degree " angle closure of severe acute angle-closure glaucoma, "double-paracentesis" combined with phacoemulsification can be chosen to open the angle gradually, and reduce intraocular pressure in vast majority of patients.
