112 child cases with cavernous hemangi- oma of the ocular adnexa were treated with intralesional triamcinolone-A and followed up from 6 months to over 6 years.In 110 eases(98.2%),complete resolution was achieved and improvement in the remaining 2 cases,the total effective rate being 100%. In 2 cases(1.78%)relapse occurred,which was reversed by repetition of the therapy.

Mitomycin-C eyedrops were administered for the prevention of pterygium recurrence after surgical excision.37 primary and 16 recurrent pterygia were postoperatively instil- led 0.2mg/ml or 0.4mg/ml mitomycin-C eyedrops,and 24 primary and 4 recurrent pterygia were given placebo instead to serve as controls.During a follow-up of 3 to 8 months,one(1.89%)of the 53 eyes treated with mitomycin recurred 3 months after the operation while 3 eyes(10.7%)of the 28 controls recurred,the difference being very significant.The authors opinted that mitomy- cin-C eyedrops of low concentration was safe and effective for the prevention of postop- erative pterygium recurrence.

The present paper is an analysis of the pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (P-VEP) of macular disease (40 cases, 57 eyes), in contrast to normal persons (40 cases, 80 eyes) of similar age. The group consists of 9 different kinds of disease-central serous chorioretinopathy macular hemorrhage, macular dege-neration, etc. The authors analyzed the latency and amplitude of P-VEP in different macular disease with different course and central vision. The results showed that the latency of P-VEP in the group was relatively prolonged. In contrast to normal person P 100 was prolonged by 9.0, 26, 40 ms at 1?2′, 30′, 16′ visual angles respectively. The amplitude was obviously lowered, especially at the visual angle of 16′ and P-VEP extinguished in all the eases with visual acuity less than 0.1.The latency and the amp-litude were not related to the type and the course of the maeular disease, but were closely related to the central vision.

Visual function in early age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were observed by contrast sensi-tivity(cs), macular threshold, FM 100-Hue test, dark adaptation, and the Amsler grid. All patients with early AMD achieved corrected visual acuity of 1.0 or better. The results revealed that early AMD showed one or more of following: abnormal macular light sensitivity (MLS), hue discripmination, CS, threshold of dark adaptation, and Amsler grid, comparing with those of the normal controls. These tests proved useful for the early diagnosis of AMD, and their sensitivity was found to be in the following descending order: MLS, FM100-hue, CS, and Amsler grid.

The topical effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, diclofenac, ketoprofen and naproxen, on reducing ocular inflammation were studied by aqueous paracentesis in rabbit eyes. In the aqueous humor, the inhibition rate of protein,the centration was 76.98% by diclofenac, 61.71% by ketoprofen and 20.83% by naproxen. The inhibition effect of ketoprofen on miosis is strongeer than that of placebo solution (vehicle) ; ketoprofen has significant difference at any examination time statistically (p

The pathological changes and morphological features of fibrinous membrane formation on the posterior chamber lens were studied in rabbits with Irj ght microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that there were fibrinous membrane, inflammatory cells and pigment deposits on the intraocular lens (IOL) surface. On the 1st postoperative day fi rinous membrane on IOL was formed, on the 7th postoperative day enlarged markedly, on the 14th postoperative day reduced in size. It is und fothat the fibrinous exudate is the basic constituent of the membrane. The membrane on the surface of IOL is composed of fibrin along with macrophages, fibroblastlike cells and giant cells,and eventually fibrosis occurs. The fibrinous membrane and inflmmatory cells on IOL accumulate primarily on the lens edge, optical portion, positioning hole of IOL, and haptic-optic junction. It is suggestedthat fibrinous membrane formation on IOL is closely related to the irritation of PMMA IOL, the breakdown of blood-aqueous barrier and the immune response.

Retrospective analysis of 30 cases of penetrating keratoplasty in children followed- up 3 months to 3 years found that 46.7% of the grafts were clear and 53.3% were failures.The younger the children,the higher was the risk of failure,especially amo- ng cases of combined operations.

A clinical investigation on the treatment of 163 cases of acute bacterial conjunctivitis and bacterial keratitis with 0.3% ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin eyedrops was carried out from May to December, 1993. It showed that the cure and effective rate of the former was 90% and 98.9%. There was no significant difference between the two drugs. No serious side effects occurred.

40 cases (-17 eyes) with ocular cysticcrcosis treated surgically in our hospital in 1981-1994 were reported, including 3(J males (31 eyes)and 1.6 females (1C eyes) and their mean age being 35 years old.Three surgical methods were used: sclerotomy for subretinal cysticercus (15 eyes), pars plana incision with aspiration (22 eyes) and vitrectomy with pars plana aspiration (10 eyes) for intravitreal cysticercus. Their successful rates of cysticercus removal were 93.3%, 90.9% and 100% respectively, with an average of 93.6%, the rates of vision remaining the same or better after surgery were 50%, 45.5% and 80%respectively with an average of 56. 5%. Vitrectomy with pars plana aspiration is the best surgical method.

The hemodynamics of ocular artery (OA) and central retinal artery(CRA)in normal persons and patients (102 eyes, respectively)with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) were studied with color Doppler image technique. The results showed that average values of peak systolic flow velocity (Vmax), the end-diastolic flow velocity (Vmin) and the mean flow velocity (Vmeau)for the OA and CRA in glau-comatous patients we^e much lower than that in normal persons. But the mean resistance index (RI) was higher than that in normal persons. The linear regression analysis presented that there was a positive correlation of Vmin between the OA and CRA (r = 0.3278, p
