      Abstract:AIM: To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) measured by Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), non-contact tonometer (NCT) and Schiotz tonometer (ST), and to evaluate the effect of central corneal thickness(CCT) on the readings. METHODS: IOP measurements were obtained in right eyes of all patients using GAT, NCT and ST. CCT was determinated by ultrasound pachymetry. All IOP and CCT measurements were performed by the same ophthalmologist. Percentile 25%(Q1) and percentile 75%(Q3) values of the CCT were calculated and by this way, the group was divided into thin, medium, and thick cornea subdivisions. Statistical analysis were performed with Statplus software. RESULTS: For the entire series of 144 eyes, the mean IOPs measured were 17.4±4.9mmHg with GAT, 16.0±58mmHg with NCT, 14.0±4.0 with ST (P<0.01 Friedman ANOVA). Correlation coefficient between IOP level and CCT was 0.787 (P<0.01) with NCT, 0.630 (P<0.01) with GAT, and 0.565 (P<0.01) with ST readings. Correlation between deviation from corrected IOP level and CCT was remarkably weaker in thick corneas with ST measurements (r=0.381, P=0.022). CONCLUSION: NCT is the most susceptible device to the effects of varying CCT. ST readings seem to be less affected than GAT and NCT readings. Particularly in thick corneas, ST can be defined as a more reliable instrument as compared to NCT and GAT. " "

      Abstract:AIM: To investigate the relationship between visfatin, human serum amyloid A (SAA) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and pathogenesis of type 2 diabetic retinopathy (DR). METHODS: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) without DR group comprised 35 individuals. Type 2 DM with nonproliferative DR group included 33 patients and type 2 DM with proliferative DR group was composed of 36 patients. The control group consisted of 40 healthy persons. ELISA was used to detect the contents of visfatin, SAA and TNF-α. RESULTS: The expressions of visfatin, SAA and TNF-α of patients from the 3 patients groups were significantly higher than those from the control group (P<0.01) and a significant difference existed between the patients groups and the control group (P<0.01). There was a positive correlation between these factors and the severity of disease. And the 3 factors were also positively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) while negatively correlated with insulin concentration. CONCLUSION: Visfatin level of serum from patients with type 2 DR could reflect the fundus vascular endothelial dysfunction and the disease course of arteriosclerosis, which suggests that content of serum visfatin may be closely related with the occurrence and development of ocular fundus arteriosclerosis. And SAA could activate the expression of tissue factor in endothelial cells and monocytes, therefore, the formation of thrombosis and the instability of plaque was accelerated. visfatin and SAA could promote secretion of TNF-α and play the roles of medium in inducing inflammatory reaction. The abnormal expression of the three factors could accelerate the remodeling of internal ophthalmic artery and the growth effect of new intima and promote the disease evolution of type 2 DR.

      Abstract:AIM: To examine whether higher fruit and vegetable intake reduce the risk of age-related cataract (ARC) in middle-aged and elderly people. METHODS: Totally 360 cases aged 45-85 years old who were admitted to hospital for intraocular lens implantation for cataract suffered from lens opacity were investigated from September 2009 to March 2011, and controls (n=360) were patients who had been admitted to the same hospital for diseases not related with cataract. Cases and controls were matched with 1∶1. All subjects were interviewed using a structured interviewer-administrated questionnaire that included information on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits and detailed medical history. Simultaneously, fruit and vegetable intake were assessed with the use of a validated, semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ). The odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) of ARC were estimated using multiple logistic regression models. RESULTS: After adjusting for multiple potential confounders, intake of fruit, vegetable and total fruit and vegetables were inversely associated with ARC. Compared to controls in the lowest quartile, the risk of ARC for cases in the highest quartile of intake decreased for 19% (OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.67-0.97), 19% (OR=0.81, 95%CI:0.69-0.94) and 29% (OR=0.71, 95%CI:0.60-0.93), respectively. The risk of ARC decreased with higher intake of fruit (P=0.014), vegetable(P<0.001) and total fruit and vegetables (P=0.023). A stratified analysis according to smoking and diabetes showed a significant inverse trend between fruit and vegetable consumption and risk of ARC among never smokers and non-diabetics. CONCLUSION: Increased consumption of fruit and vegetable may have a protective effect on ARC, and a healthy well-balanced diet may possibly be beneficial to ARC.

      Abstract:AIM:To evaluate the effects of central corneal thickness (CCT) on 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuation. METHODS: Measurements of IOP were obtained by Goldmann applanation tonometer on 5am,7am,10am,2pm,6pm,and 10pm during a 24-hour period from 39 untreated glaucoma patients and 44 age-matched normal control subjects. CCT was measured in all subjects using ultrasound pachymetry. The association between IOP fluctuation (peak IOP-trough IOP) during the 24-hour period and the CCT was assessed in both glaucoma patients and healthy age-matched controls using Spearman correlation. RESULTS: The average 24-hour IOP, peak IOP, IOP fluctuation and CCT in glaucoma group and control group were 21.33±2.91mmHg and 16.19±2.33mmHg(t=12.615,P=0.000), 24.67±2.72mmHg and 18.55±2.45mmHg(t=12.613,P=0.000), 6.63±3.26 mmHg and 4.72±1.60mmHg(t=4.709,P=0.000), 544.44±32.11μm and 537.16±27.66μm(t=1.569,P=0.119), respectively. The average 24-hour IOP, peak IOP and IOP fluctuation were significantly different between normal and glaucomatous patients. The CCT, however, was not significantly different between the two groups. There was no statistically significant correlation between IOP fluctuation and CCT in glaucomatous (r=0.140,P=0.222) and normal subjects (r=0.050,P=0.642). There was no significant difference in average 24-hour IOP, peak IOP or IOP fluctuation between glaucomatous patients and normal subjects with thick(CCT≥545μm) and thin corneas(CCT<545μm). CONCLUSION:Twenty-four-hour IOP fluctuations are not correlated with CCT measurements in glaucoma patients and normal subjects.

      Abstract:AIM:To investigate the effect of various parameters on corneal endothelial cells in cataract surgery. METHODS:All 55 cases of cataract patients were randomly selected by lens nuclear grade. With cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, intraoperative ultrasound energy, time and the cumulative releases of energy (CDE) were recorded. Before and 1 week after surgery the central corneal endothelial cell density of the region, the proportion of hexagonal cells were measured. Stepwise regression analysis of the data using software SPSS 17.0 were processed. Affecting factors on the decline of corneal endothelial cell density and hexagonal cell proportion were analysed to identify factors that affect the corneal endothelial cell damage. RESULTS:Before and 1 week after surgery, corneal endothelial cell density was 2685.78±413.39/mm2 and 2524.39±557.80/mm2, hexagonal cells proportion was 53.04±9.68% and 49.82±9.39%. Compared with the preoperative,postoperative corneal endothelial cell density was significantly decreased and the proportion of hexagonal cells decreased. Statistics found that the strongest influence factor on the corneal endothelial cell was nuclear hardness (P=0.000), followed by the cumulative release of phaco-emulsification energy (P=0.041) and phacoemulsification time (P=0.046). According to statistical analysis they were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:The degree of lens nuclear grade, phacoemulsification ultrasound energy and the length of phacoemulsification time are major risk factors on the corneal endothelial cell damage. Therefore, improving surgical techniques, reducing intraoperative phaco-emulsification time, reducing the release of invalid ultrasonic energy can effectively reduce the corneal endothelial cell damage.

      Abstract:AIM:To detect the incidence and mechanism of high intraocular pressure(IOP) at the early stage after small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery. METHODS:Totally 116 patients (116 eyes) who had undergone small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery in our hospital in the first half of 2011 were retrospectively analysed. RESULTS:Among the 116 eyes,postoperative IOP elevation occurred in 35 eyes (about 30.2%).The IOP reached the peak mostly 6 to 24 hours after the surgery, up to 56mmHg (1mmHg = 0.133kPa). 88.6% of high IOP occurred at the same time. And in this period the incidence of IOP elevation were significantly higher than in other periods (P<0.01). 62.9% of high IOP rose slightly, less than 30mmHg. CONCLUSION:The incidence of higy IOP at the early stage after small incision non-phacoemulsification cataract surgery is high, but most of the IOP rose slightly. The most common reason is that some substances blocked the trabecular meshwork. These substances were residual viscoelastic agent, residual cortex, denatured red blood cells, macrophages and pigment particle.These substances blocked the trabecular meshwork, and aqueous humor outflow was obstructed, and then the IOP rose. Other reasons also included IOL subluxation, endophthalmitis, etc.

      Abstract:AIM:To compare the efficacy of three different treatment methods for neovascular glaucoma (NVG). METHODS:Totally 51 NVG patients (54 eyes)were retrospectively observed and analyzed, according to the different surgical treatment the patients were divided into three groups.Group A, 27 patients (28 eyes)were treated with simple cyclophotocoagulation; Group B, 14 patients (14 eyes) with trabeculectomy and intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) application 1 week after avastin intravitreal injection; Group C , 10 patients (12 eyes) with vitrectomy and drainage valve implantation 1 week after avastin intravitreal injection.In the treatment of both Group B and C, the whole course of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) were completed as early as possible. RESULTS:The mean intraocular pressure(IOP) in patients discharged from hospital:Group A,25.75±1.44mmHg, surgical success rate was 21%;Group B was 12.86±1.37mmHg, surgical success rate was 86%;Group C was 16.58±1.85mmHg, surgical success rate was 83%. CONCLUSION:The three methods can all reduce IOP on different levels. But IOP in most patients within a week after cyclophotocoagulation is not in the normal range. Therefore, visualizable eye should not choose the simple cyclophotocoagulation.Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs combined with anti-glaucoma surgery can effectively control the IOP within a week.For the preservation of visual function in patients,it was better than simple cyclophotocoagulation.

      Abstract:AIM:To compare the macular edema (ME) and visual outcome after cataract surgery in eyes with diabetic retinopathy with normal eyes. METHODS:Thirty-three patients with type-2 diabetes and 30 controls were enrolled. Visual acuity and fundus were examined preoperation, and at postoperative 7 days, 6 weeks and 6 months. Fluorescein fundus angiography(FFA) was performed preoperation and at postoperative 6 weeks. Postoperative ME and visual recovery in two groups were observed. RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference in visual acuity between preoperative and postoperative 7 days or 6 months, but at 6 weeks there was a significant difference with lower VA in the diabetic group. 7% of control and 16% of diabetic eyes developed clinical cystoid macular edema (CME). Incidence of fluorescein angiography (FA) leakage was 21% in control and 75% in diabetic eyes. There was no significant difference in visual acuity at postoperative 6 months between two groups, and ME recovered. CONCLUSION:The final visual outcome in eyes with mild to moderate retinopathy is as good as in normal eyes, but an increased frequency of macular changes may protract recovery of full vision. For this kind of CME, generally no treatment is needed, they can recover by themselves.

      Abstract:"AIM:To study the role of indocyanine green angiography(ICGA) in differential diagnosis between nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and optic neuritis. METHODS:Twenty-seven cases 27 eyes with detailed clinical data which were not easily diagnosed by optic disc edema on fundus photography were enrolled. All eyes received examination using the retinal and choroidal angiography(FFA and ICGA). The gender and age matched 20 cases 20 normal control eyes received FFA and ICGA over the same period, and continuous images of each group were analyzed. RESULTS:In 20 cases of control eyes,ICGA examination showed early peripapillary choroidal vascular fluorescence filling in normotension. The performance characteristics of early continuous ICGA pictures from the other 27 eyes showed that the optic disc edema can be clearly divided into ischemic and non-ischemic; ischemic images demonstrated a temporary disc ischemia area and the corresponding choroidal regional hypo-fluorescence, from which the scope and extent of ischemia can be directly determined and the 16 eyes were considered to have NAION; 11 eyes with images demonstrating immediately vascular fluorescence filling in normotension in showed the same as normal control and they were considered to have optic neuritis. CONCLUSION:Some of the optic disc edema is difficult to diagnosis accurately. Choroidal angiography showed that there is a disc choroidal regional fluorescein filling defect for NAION with characteristic changes.
