ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnosis of blue-on-yellow perimetry and macular threshold perimetry in early primary glaucoma. MethodsHumphrey Ⅱ-750 automatic perimetry was used to test 60 eyes of 60 cases in normal control group and 63 eyes of 63 cases in early primary glaucoma group with white-on-white perimetry (W/W), blue-on-yellow perimetry (B/Y), and macular threshold perimetry (MTP). The results of the visual field defects detected by the three perimetries were compared and analyzed.ResultsThe differences of mean sensibility of W/W, B/Y and MTP between the two groups had statistical significance [t=-3.01, P=0.005 4 (W/W); t=-2.95, P=0.006 3 (B/Y); t=-2.59,P=0.015 0 (MTP)]. In the diagnosis of early primary glaucoma, the sensitivity of MTP was the highest (83%), B/Y was the second (65%), and W/W was the lowest (48%). When B/Y and MTP were combined, the sensitivity was improved to 94% using parallel testing, and the specificity was improved to 87% using serial testing. ConclusionsB/Y and MTP are valuable in diagnosis of early primary glaucoma, and the sensitivity and specificity of the diagnosis can be improved when B/Y and MTP are combined.

To explore novel ADP receptor inhibitors with anti-thrombotic activity, eighteen compounds were synthesized and their structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and MS. The results showed that the activity of compound C1 was superior to ticlopidine in platelet aggregation inhibition tests in vivo and worthy for further investigation. Compounds A4, B2, C4 and C7 possessed moderate platelet aggregation inhibitory activities.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the difference in color pattern reversal visual evoked potential (CPR-VEP)between primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) patients. METHODS: Vision Monitor visual electrophysiograph made by Metro Vision Inc. in France was used to record CPR-VEP in 17 eyes of 12 POAG patients, 56 eyes of 41 PACG patients, and 26 eyes of 13 age-equivalent normal persons at an ascending series of temporal frequency (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 Hz) and color stimulation (black/white, red/green, and blue/yellow). P(100) wave amplitudes and latencies of these patients were compared respectively with those of the normal group. RESULTS: With black/white stimulation, the P(100) wave amplitudes were reduced with the increase of temporal frequency in the 3 groups. The P(100) wave latencies were extended with the increase of temporal frequency with different color stimulations. The P(100) amplitudes were PACG group > NC group > POAG group and black/white > blue/yellow > red/green. The P(100) wave latencies in the POAG group and the PACG group were extended compared with the NC group, but there was no significant difference between PACG group and POAG group. CONCLUSION CPR-VEP P(100) amplitudes in the PACG group and POAG group have their own characteristics. The P(100) amplitude of PACG is higher, and POAG is lower than normal. The P(100) wave latencies of PACG and POAG are extended.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the mid-term and long-term clinical effect and complication of micro-perforating trabecular surgery (MPTS) with amniotic membrane implants on open angle glaucoma (OAG). METHODS: Thirty OAG patients (49 eyes) were treated with MPTS with amniotic membrane implants. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, visual field, type of blebs, and complications were recorded pre-and post-operatively. RESULTS: Patients were followed up for 6~24(15.93+/-2.35) months. The mean IOPs before the operation and 24 months after the operation were (36.84+/-11.02) mmHg and (18.24+/-1.34) mmHg, respectively (P=0.000). The mean numbers of anti-glaucoma drugs used before and after the operation were (2.76+/-0.69) and (0.59+/-0.89), respectively (P<0.05). The global index of the early to moderate glaucomatous visual field loss was significantly improved postoperatively (P<0.05), and no significant difference was found in aggressive glaucoma pre- and postoperatively. Functional filter bleb was formed in 70.8% patients 24 months after the operation. The complete success rate and quality success rate were 75.5% (37/49) and 93.9% (46/49), respectively. There was no significant change in visual acuity pre- and postoperatively and no severe complication was found. CONCLUSION Micro-perforating trabecular surgery with amniotic membrane implants is effective and safe for OAG, with reliable effect on lowering IOP in the mid-term and long-term.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors, the ciliary body anatomy structures, the therapeutic methods and the prognosis for malignant glaucoma through retrospectively collecting the clinical data from primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients. METHODS: Clinical data in 1183 patients (1456 eyes) with PACG were collected between July, 2010 and May, 2014 from Xiangya Hospital, Central South University. Thirty patients (38 eyes) were diagnosed as malignant glaucoma. According to symptom, these patients were divided into a PACG group (1418 eyes) and a malignant glaucoma group (38 eyes); according to age, they were divided into a 3-40 years old group (171 eyes), a 41-70 years old group (1016 eyes) and a ≥71 years old group (269 eyes); according to therapeutic methods, they were divided into a drug therapy group (5 eyes), a lens extraction group (6 eyes) and a vitrectomy surgery group (27 eyes); according to the different method of surgery, they were divided into a vitrectomy group (27 eyes), a nonvitrectomy group (11 eyes). The age, sex, anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length (AL), lens thickness (LT), visual acuity, intraocular pressure, therapeutic methods and surgery history were recorded. Meanwhile, the ciliary body thickness (CBT), trabecular ciliary process angle (TCA) and lens diameter were measured by ultrsound biomicroscopy (UBM). RESULTS: Male and female ratio was 1:2 in the malignant glaucoma group. The average age [(51.87±12.92) years] in the malignant glaucoma group was less than that in the PACG group [(57.87±8.78) years](P<0.05). Malignant glaucoma was more likely to occur in the first 3 months after PACG trabeculectomy with a rate of 85.7%. The LT [(4.33±0.67) mm], AL[(21.44±1.18) mm] and ACD [(2.12±0.41) mm] in the malignant glaucoma group were less than those in the PACG group [(4.81±0.50), (22.17±0.97) and (2.49±0.48) mm, respectively](all P<0.05). The CBT0, CBT1, CBTmax, TCA and lens diameter in the malignant glaucoma group were less than those in the PACG group (all P<0.05). CONCLUSION Female PACG patients, with short axial length, shallow anterior chamber, thin lens, thin ciliary body, small trabecular ciliary process angle and short lens diameter, are more likely to suffer from malignant glaucoma. Vitrectomy can significantly reduce intraocular pressure.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of color pattern reversal visual evoked potential (CPR-VEP)of primary glaucoma using different temporal frequencies, and to search for the best temporal frequency parameters and color parameters. METHODS: Vision Monitor visual electrophysiograph (Métrovision, France) was used to record CPR-VEP at different temporal frequencies (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 Hz) and different color stimulations (black/white, red/green, blue/yellow) in 41 cases (70 eyes) with primary glaucoma (glaucoma group) and 13 normal subjects (26 eyes) (normal control group). P100 wave amplitudes were compared. RESULTS: (1) In the normal control group, P100 amplitudes declined while the temporal frequency of black/white stimulation was increasing, but they had peaks at 2 Hz and 8 Hz red/green stimulation and blue/yellow stimulation. (2) In the glaucoma group, CPR-VEP P100 declined while temporal frequency was increasing under 3 color stimulations, but had a peak at 8 Hz. At 2 Hz-16 Hz, P100 amplitudes were related with the mean defect of Humphrey visual field, especially with all 3 color stimulations at 8 Hz and with blue/yellow stimulation at 2 Hz and 16 Hz. (3) P100 amplitude was most different under the 3 color stimulations between the 2 groups at 8 Hz. CONCLUSION The changes of CPR-VEP P(100) amplitude can objectively reflect the glaucoma visual function damage. CPR-VEP P100 amplitude has certain value in studying glaucoma under different color stimulations (black/white, red/green, blue/yellow) at 8 Hz, and blue/yellow stimulation at 2 Hz and 16 Hz.
