Optic nerve injury may occur at any section from the eyeball up to the brain. There should be enough mechanical power acting on the skull to result in severe optic nerve injury. Loss of light perception immediately after injury would be followed by an unfavorable prognosis. Efficacy of decompression procedures on optic nerve canal has not been demonstrated. large doses of adrenocortical steroid may be beneficial for early recovery of visual function. Based on the observation in animal model of partial injury, the capability of regeneration of optic nerve was closely associated with the extent of the injury. The enviroment for regeneration of partially injured optic nerve fibers is different from that of complete injury. The irreversibly injured fibers may have more regenerative potency than partially injured optic nerves.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between antiphospholipid (APLA) antibodies and retinal vein occlusion (RVO).Methods A computerized search was conducted in the Pubmed,Chinese Biological Medicine Database,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,VIP database,Wanfang Database combined with manually searching of literature reference proceedings.The search time was ranged from establishment of each database to August 1st,2012.After the data extraction,quality of RCT was assessed.The meta analysis was performed by Stata 11.0.Results In total,12 case-control studies (1324subjects) that fulfilled the eligibility criteria were included in the meta-analysis involving 505 patients in RVO group and 819 subjects in control group.The odds ratio (OR) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of APLA,anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA),lupus coagulation inhibitor and RVO were 5.01 and 3.33-7.53,4.38 and 2.38 8.05,1.72 and 0.73-4.04,respectively.The OR and 95％ CI of APLA,ACA and central RVO were 4.80 and 2.59-8.88,6.02 and 2.06-17.63,respectively.The OR and 95％ CI of APLA,ACA,lupus coagulation inhibitor and branch RVO were 4.22 and 1.67-10.63,3.69 and 1.32-10.32,2.07 and 0.79-5.41,respectively.Conclusions APLA may increase the rick of RVO,especially ACA has a prediction function to RVO.It is necessary to screening for APLA in RVO patients.

Objective To create a calibrated animal model of graded optic nerve injury (ONI) in rats, focusing on quantification of injury intensity, injury severity and the correlation between them. Methods A pair of cross-action forceps with pressure of 148.0 g was used to clip rat optic nerves for 3, 6, 30 and 60 seconds, or a pair of artery clips with constant pressure (32.4 g) used to clip rat optic nerves for 5, 10 and 15 seconds in order to create graded ONI animal models. Transcranial FluoroGold-labeled retinal ganglion cell (RGC) was used to observe the changes of RGC one month after injury, which then could be used to evaluate the injury severity. Ocular blood supply was evaluated by transcardiacly perfused Luxol Fast Blue post-injury. Results The graded ONI animal models were successfully created in rats without retinal ischemia post-trauma. The injury intensity could be well-defined by impulse or averaged impulse, while injury severity could be evaluated by the count of FluoroGold-labeled RGCs. The averaged impulse produced by artery clips clipping rat optic nerves for 15 seconds equalized with that produced by cross-action forceps for three seconds. The severer injury intensity begot less number of RGCs. The correlation between injury impulse and RGCs was fit for power function. Short time clipping of optic nerves could not lead to ischemic injury of the retina. Conclusions A calibrated graded ONI animal model is successfully created by clipping optic nerves with a pair of cross-action forceps. The model can be evaluated with RGCs count, impulse and averaged impulse, the latter two of which stand for injury intensity and injury severity, respectively.

Objective To determine the affected factors of intraorbital hemodynamic results in diabetic retinopathy (DR) and the risk factors related to the occurrence of DR. Methods Posterior ciliary artery (PCA), central retinal artery (CRA), central retinal vein (CRV), and vortex vein (VV) of 68 patients with DR were measured by color Doppler flow image (CDFI). Thirty-one hemodynamic parameters, including systolic velocity, diastolic velocity, mean velocity, resistive index, pulsatility index and accelerative velocity of ophthalmic artery (OA), and other variates (blood pressure, blood sugar, gender, age, duration of the disease, and so on) were collected and clustered in a principal components analysis following a forward, stepwise logistic regression on these components. Results Nine principal components were extracted from 37 original variates, reflecting the velocity of OA, velocity of PCA, resistance of OA, velocity of CRA, resistance of CRA, resistance of PCA, time-related factor, venous drainage factor and gender factor, respectively. In the result of logistic regression, resistance of OA, velocity of CRA, resistance of PCA, time-related factor, and venous drainage factor were the risk factors related to DR. Conclusion The first risk factor affecting DR is time, and intraorbital hemodynamic abnormity influencing the development of diabetic retinopathy may be the increase of resistance of OA, decrease of velocity of CRA, decrease of resistance of PCA, and increase of venous drainage.

Objective To investigate the gene expression spectrum of retina and optic nerve after partial injury of optic nerve. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. The optic nerves of the right eyes were clipped for 6 seconds with a pair of cross-action forceps. The retinae and optic nerves in the operation eye and contralateral sham operation eye were removed 3, 7, 14, and 21 days after the injury to detect gene expression patterns with high-density DNA microarrays. Results Changes of a mass of gene expressions were found after the optic nerve injury, and the positive rate of gene expression was 2.35%, 6.48%, 3.82% and 4.09% after 3, 7, 14, 21 days, respectively, and the total positive rate was 11.77%. The functions of positive expression of the gene involved cell survival, cytoskeleton, extracellular matrix and cell adhesion, free radicals and oxidative damage, energy and metabolism, inflammation, neurotransmission and ion transport, signal transduction, structural protein, transcription and translation. Up- or down-regulation of repaired genes was the main part of the changes of gene expression, while the altered-expression destroy genes was the minor part in the whole gene expression spectrum, in which the up- and down-regulation of expression of repaired genes accounted for 13.98% and 24.73% respectively 7 days after the injury, and the down-regulation of expression of repaired genes accounted for 17.20% 14 days after the injury. Conclusions A mass of gene expression changes occurs after the optic nerve injury, and the comprehensive view on the gene expression pattern following the optic nerve injury is crucial to discover the mechanism of post-injury reaction and regeneration.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical effects of conventional versus laparoscopic surgery in adults with congenital bile duct dilatation. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 37 patients with congenital bile duct dilation who were treated in our hospital from February 2011 to February 2013. All the 37 cases underwent bile duct cyst resection and common hepatic duct-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis; 20 of them (study group) underwent laparoscopic surgery, while the other 17 cases (control group) underwent open surgery. The mean operative time, mean intraoperative blood loss, mean length of hospital stay after surgery, mean time to first flatus after surgery, and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups. Comparison of continuous data between the two groups was made by t test, while comparison of categorical data was made by chi-square test. ResultsCompared with the control group, the study group had a significantly longer operative time (P＜0.05) but significantly less mean intraoperative blood loss, mean length of hospital stay after surgery, and mean time to first flatus after surgery (P＜0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications showed no significant difference between the two groups (P＞0.05). ConclusionCompared with conventional surgery, laparoscopic bile duct cyst resection and common hepatic duct-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis is less invasive and safer and leads to faster recovery in adults with congenital bile duct dilation, and it is worthy of clinical application.
