1.Applying wide-angle fundus imaging modalities to improve the diagnosis and treatment of ocular fundus diseases
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2016;32(3):232-236
The hallmark of the recent latest advances in diagnostic fundus imaging technology is combination of complex hierarchical levels and depths,as well as wide-angle imaging,ultra-wide imaging.The clinical application of wide-angle and ultra-wide imaging,not only can reevaluate the role of the peripheral retina,the classification types and treatment modalities of central retinal vein occlusion,and enhance the reliability of diabetic retinopathy screening,improve the classification and therapeutic decision of diabetic retinopathy,and but also can help guide and improve laser photocoagulation.However we must clearly recognize that the dominant role of ophthalmologists in the diagnosis of ocular fundus diseases cannot be replaced by any advanced fundus imaging technology including wide-angle imaging.We emphasize to use the three factors of cognitive performance (technology,knowledge and thinking) to improve the diagnosis of ocular fundus diseases in China.

3.Meta-analysis of the effect of intravitreal anti-VEGF drugs versus intravitreal triamcinolone in macular edema caused by central retinal vein occlusion
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2016;34(12):1097-1101
Background Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) is a common retinal vascular disease.Macular edema is a common complication and can lead to the decrease of visual acuity.Intravitreal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) drugs and triamcinolone acetonide has become the important treatment on macular edema.Objective This study was to systematically evaluate the clinical effects of anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone in patients with macular edema caused by CRVO.Methods The Databases including PubMed,Cochrane Library (Issue 11,2012),EMbase,CBM,CNKI,VIP and WanFang Database were electronically searched for the trials about the effects of anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone in patients with macular edema caused by CRVO from the date of establishment of the databases to September 2015.The combined effect was analyzed by using Review Manager 5.3 software.Results A total 7 trials involving 345 patients and 348 eyes were included.Meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and macular central thickness between anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone in the 6-month follow-up (mean difference [MD] =-0.03,95% confidence interval[CI]:-0.11-0.05,P =0.52;MD =-15.37,95% CI:-36.29-5.55,P =0.15),but there was statistical difference in intraocular pressure (MD =-2.73,95% CI:-3.59--1.86,P<0.000 01).Twenty-two cases of lens opacity and 8 cases elevated intraocular pressure were observed in the triamcinolone group.Only 2 cases of lens opacity were observed in the anti-VEGF drugs group.Conclusions Anti-VEGF drugs and triamcinolone have similar improvement of BCVA and decrease of macular central thickness in CRVO patients,while the triamcinolone is accompanied with more side effects such as high intraocular pressure and progressing cataract.

Objective To establish a matrine delivery system in vitreous is very important for the dynamic treatment of proliferative vitreoretinopathy(PVR) . Present study was to evaluate the efficacy of matrine polyactic acid microsphere(MAT-PLA-MS) in prevention of PVR. Methods The suspension of cultured fibroblasts was injected into vitreous cavity of 30 healthy adult New Zealand albino rabbits to induce PVR. Then the experimental rabbits were divided into 3 groups and 10 rabbits for each. The animals received intravitreal injection of 0.3 mL MAT-PLA-MS(4 mg) matrine in MAT-PLA-MS group. Free matrine normal sodium solution 0.3 mL(containing 2mg matrine) was injected in vitreous cavity in free matrine group. 0. 3 mL normal saline solution was injected into the vitreous of the left eyes and the equivalent volume of blank polyaetic acid microsphere(blank-PLA-MS) into the right eyes in control group. The changes of cornea, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous and fundus were examined and recorded by slit lamp biomicroscope, indirect ophthalmoscope, fundus color camera and B ultrasonogram on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th and 35th day following injection of drug. The inhibition effect of matrine on PVR was evaluated according to Ryan' s grading criteria of PVR. Results On the 14th days after implantation of MAT-PLA-MS, the rate of retinal detachment was 60%, 10%, 5% and 60% in normal saline group, free matrine group, MAT-PLA-MS group and blank-PLA-MS group respectively. Statistically significant difference was found among normal saline group, blank-PLA-MS group, MAT-PLA-MS group and free matrine group(P <0. 05). On the 21st day after injection of fibroblasts, the morbidity of retinal detachment was 80%, 30%, 10% and 80% in normal saline group, free matrine group, MAT-PLA-MS group and blank-PLA-MS group respectively, showing a significant difference among different groups. On the 28th day, the incidence rate of retinal detachment was 90%, 50%, 15% and 90% respectively, presenting statistical difference among various groups (P < 0. 05) as well as between free matrine group and MAT-PLA-MS group (P<0. 05). On the 35th day, considerably difference also was seen in the morbidity of retinal detachment among various groups (90%, 60%, 15% and 90% respectively) (P<0.05). Conclusion Implantation of MAT-PLA-M S into vitreous cavity can effectively inhibit the development of PVR induced by fibroblasts in rabbit model.

Lots of blinding diseases are caused by retinal ganglion cells apoptosis, but there is no the effective and ideal therapy in clinic currently. Recent study showed that stem cells can be an alternative renewable source of retinal ganglion cells, and they may be potential to repair the visual function. These results provide a new model of optic nerve regeneration for the treatment of these blinding diseases. But, some problems in clinical applications are waiting for further solving. Applications of stem cells in optic nerve regeneration is reviewed in this paper.
