Changes in the posterior segment of the eye after an episode of acute ocular hypertension / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

Rapidly increasing intraocular pressure(IOP)is a typical manifestation of acute angle-closure glaucoma and an important cause of ocular tissue damage, vision loss and even blindness in glaucoma patients. The sharp increase of intraocular pressure in a short period of time in acute angle-closure glaucoma will cause characteristic damage to the structure and function of retina, choroid and optic nerve. Currently, the diagnosis and evaluation of the course of glaucoma is largely dependent on the state of high IOP, changes in the optic nerve and visual field damage, but irreversible damage to the fundus has already been made in glaucoma patients by this time. The microstructural changes in the posterior segment of the eye are more sensitive to high IOP and often appear before optic nerve and visual field damage, which can indicate the damage of high IOP to the eye earlier. Through the evaluation of the imaging characteristics of the posterior segment of the eye, the morphological characteristics that affect the prognosis of glaucoma can be explored, which is clinically important for the early diagnosis of glaucoma.

Progress in the effect of blood indicators on retinopathy of prematurity / 国际眼科杂志(Guoji Yanke Zazhi)

Retinopathy of prematurity(ROP), an abnormal vascular proliferative retinopathy of prematurity, is a serious condition that can lead to retinal detachment or blindness. With the development of neonatal medicine, the survival rate of low birth weight and low gestational age infants has been increasing, as well as the incidence of ROP. Therefore, studying ROP's pathogenesis and influencing factors is of great clinical importance. Numerous studies have been conducted on the risk factors for ROP, including gestational age, oxygen intake, mode of delivery, neonatal bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and the use of surfactants. At present, it is widely accepted both at home and abroad that preterm birth, low birth weight, and high oxygen concentration after birth are independent risk factors for ROP. In recent years, more and more scholars have found that abnormalities in blood indicators in preterm infants may be associated with the development of ROP. This article reviews the effects of platelets, haemoglobin, blood glucose, inflammatory cells, and lipids on ROP, providing a reference for identifying and preventing risk factors for ROP.
