Objective:Retinal vein occlusion(RVO)is the second most common retinal vascular disease worldwide,and the retinal perfusion status is closely related to the prognosis of the disease.Macular perfusion status is particularly correlated with visual acuity.This study aims to investigate the changes in macular perfusion indicators in RVO using optical coherence tomography angiography(OCTA)and analyze the correlation between macular perfusion status and visual acuity. Methods:This cross-sectional study included 41 RVO patients,who were divided into 2 groups based on the occlusion site:18 cases in the central retinal vein occlusion(CRVO)group and 23 cases in the branch retinal vein occlusion(BRVO)group.Additionally,they were categorized into ischemic RVO(23 cases)and non-ischemic RVO(16 cases)groups based on the presence of ischemia(2 eyes were excluded due to hemorrhage obscuring the peripheral retina,making it impossible to confirm the area of non-perfusion).A control group of 29 healthy individuals matched by sex and age was also recruited.Macular perfusion indicators were measured using OCTA,and the correlation between macular perfusion status and visual acuity was analyzed. Results:Compared with healthy eyes,RVO eyes showed an increased foveal avascular zone(FAZ)area and significantly reduced superficial and deep vessel density(P<0.001).However,there were no significant differences in central foveal thickness(CFT)or macular perfusion indicators between the CRVO and BRVO groups(P>0.05).The best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)at the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution(logMAR BCVA)was significantly negatively correlated with both superficial and deep retinal vessel density in RVO eyes(unstandardized coefficient B=-0.039,B=-0.042;P=0.017,P=0.040).The average BCVA in the ischemic RVO group was significantly worse than that in the non-ischemic RVO group(0.82±0.44 vs 0.45±0.29,P=0.007).The ischemic RVO group also had a larger FAZ area(P=0.003)and lower superficial and deep retinal vessel density(P<0.001,P=0.008,respectively)compared with the non-ischemic RVO group.The severity of macular ischemia did not correspond directly with the peripheral ischemia severity in RVO. Conclusion:Macular perfusion status is significantly reduced in RVO eyes compared to healthy eyes,which negatively impacts and limits visual acuity in RVO patients.Eyes with ischemic RVO have poorer visual acuity and macular perfusion status than those with non-ischemic RVO.OCTA is advantageous for observing vascular morphology and quantifying macular perfusion status,making it an effective tool for assessing disease progression.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of compound α-ketoacid tablets in the treatment of diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Methods:CNKI, Wanfang database, EMBASE, PubMed and Cochrane Library database were searched for eligible records published from the establishment of individual database to November 13 th, 2022. The quality of the included studies were assessed, data were extracted, and meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan5.3. Results:A total of 26 randomized controlled trials were included, with a total of 2 790 DKD patients (1 465 in the experimental group and 1 325 in the control group). Multiple parameters were significantly improved in the experimental group compared with the control group, including 24-hour urinary protein, blood creatinine, urea nitrogen, nutritional index, oxidative stress level, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, homocysteine, HGF, VEGF, TGF-β1, and systolic blood pressure.Conclusions:Limited low-quality evidence showed that compound α-ketoacid tablets combined with low-protein diet may be related to the improved 24-hour urinary protein, renal function, and glucose metabolism in patients with DKD. Due to the lack of randomized controlled trials designed for respective stages of DKD, the inclusion criteria of our study were relatively general, possibly leading to the lack of pertinence of the results. Some indicators showed apparent heterogeneity among different groups, and more high-quality multi-center studies with large sample sizes are still needed to verify our findings.

Objective:To evaluate the distribution and drug sensitivity of pathogenic bacteria in patients with bacterial keratitis in recent 40 years in China.Methods:A Meta-analysis was conducted.Five databases including PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform were searched.The research was limited to the hospital-based cross-sectional studies published in Chinese and English between 1980 and 2020, without limitations of subject.Two researchers followed the inclusion and exclusion criteria to complete literature retrieval, data extraction and methodological quality evaluation.The literature quality was assessed with reference to a methodological scoring system for rates. Q test and I2 test were used to quantify the degree of heterogeneity of the included literature.According to the heterogeneity, the fixed effects model or random-effects model was used to calculate the combined rates indicators to perform the Meta-analysis. Results:Twenty-seven original studies were incorporated, including 50 046 cases of bacterial keratitis.A random-effects model for the Meta-analysis showed that the positive rate of bacterial culture in bacterial keratitis was 28% (95% CI: 0.24-0.32). Among the culture-positive bacteria, the percentages of gram-positive cocci and gram-negative bacilli were 57% (95% CI: 0.52-0.62) and 32% (95% CI: 0.28-0.37), respectively.The percentages of gram-positive bacilli and gram-negative cocci were 8% (95% CI: 0.06-0.10) and 1% (95% CI: 0.01-0.02), respectively.In the recent 40 years, the proportion of gram-positive cocci isolated from corneas in China was on the rise, and the proportion of gram-negative bacilli was on the decline.Among them, coagulase-negative Staphylococcus accounted for 23% (95% CI: 0.17-0.30), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa 18% (95% CI: 0.14-0.23), Streptococcus pneumoniae 8% (95% CI: 0.06-0.12), Staphylococcus aureus 6% (95% CI: 0.04-0.08), Corynebacterium 4% (95% CI: 0.03-0.07), and Escherichia coli 4% (95% CI: 0.02-0.06). The results of the drug sensitivity test showed that gram-positive cocci were highly sensitive to vancomycin, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin and ofloxacin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was most sensitive to tobramycin, and Escherichia coli was most sensitive to ofloxacin. Conclusions:This Meta-analysis indicates that the proportion of gram-positive cocci isolated from corneas in China has been on the rise, while the proportion of gram-negative bacilli was on the decline during the recent 40 years.Coagulase-negative Staphylococcus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have become the most common pathogens of bacterial keratitis in China.The sensitivity of various bacteria to commonly used antibiotics shows a downward trend.The sensitive antibiotics should be selected correctly according to the drug sensitivity results.
