ObjectiveTo investigate the possible relationship between choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and macular choroidal watershed zones (CWZ) in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). MethodsFifty-seven selected indocyanine green video angiograms (ICGA) of 57 patients (57 eyes) with AMD were evaluated, and 35 ones of the healthy fellow eyes of 35 patients with unilateral non-AMD fundus diseases were selected as age-matched control. The video angiograms were evaluated for investigating the relationship between CNV and macular CWZ. ResultsIn 57 eyes with AMD, 35 (61.4%) had macular CWZ, while in 35 control patients only 3 (8.57% ) had. The difference was significant (P

Objective To investigate the related factors of effects on distant visual acuity after photodynamic therapy (PDT) for choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods One hundred and thirty-five cases (135 eyes) of CNV treated with PDT were observed. The gender, preoperative distant and near visual acuity, disease course, pathogeny, area of CNV, types of CNV ascertained by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and changes of CNV in FFA were recorded. Multi-factor regression analysis of visual acuity within 1 month and 3 months after PDT was performed with SPSS statistics software. Results The distant visual acuity within 1 month postoperatively was related to the preoperative distant visual acuity, the area of CNV and the changes in the FFA(P=0.000,0.030,0.062), and 3 months after PDT, it was related to the distant and near visual acuity preoperatively and the changes in the FFA(P=0.000,0.054,0.034). The condition of distant visual acuity within 1 month postoperatively was related to the FFA type of CNV and the disease course(P =0.018,0.08). Conclusion The smaller the area of CNV is, the better postoperative distant visual acuity would be. The proportion of improvement of visual acuity is relatively higher in patients with classic CNV. Early treatment for the patients with the indicatio may improve the visual acuity effectively.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of labeling iris pigment epithelial(IPE)cells of rabbits with 5-(and 6-)carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester(CFSE). Methods Enzyme-assisted microdissection was used to isolate the cultured rabbit′s IPE cells.The third or forth subcultured IPE cells were incubated with 2.5,5,10,20,and 40 ?mol/L of CFSE for 1,5,and10min respectively.The fluorescence intensity was detected by flow cytometry,and the leakage of CFSE and its dyeing were observed by fluorescence antibody labeling. Results Incubation with 20 ?mol/L CFSE under 37℃for1minute was the most optimal condition for IPE cells labeling.The coloration of IPE cells stained by CFSE lasted 4 weeks.There was no leakage of dye from labeled rabbit IPE cells to non-labeled human IPE cells in mixed culture process. Conclusion With the advantages of high rate of dyeing,long time of tracing,safety and convenience,CFSE can be used as a new method to label the rabbit′s IPE cells.

Objective To study the relationships between cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarcts and quantitative CT measures and to determine the independent correlative factors of cognitive impairment. Methods Neuropsychological examination was conducted for 128 patients with acute lacunar infarct. Number, location, and volume of infarcts, cerebral atrophy index and severity of white matter lesions (WMLs) were measured and recorded. Results The number of lacunar infarcts in cognitive impairment (CI) group was significantly larger than that in cognitive normal (CN) group. Mean width of sulcus and sylvian fissure, index of frontal horn and ventricular-brain ratio (VBR) were significantly different in both groups. There were more patients with 3 grades or 4 grades WMLs in CI group (62%) than those in CN group (22%). The total volume of lacunar infarcts showed no statistically significant difference. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the number of lacunar infarcts in frontal subcortex and thalamus, the volume of infarcts in anterior periventricular white matter, width of cerebral sulcus and sylvian fissure were correlated with cognitive impairment respectively. Additionally, age and education were correlative factors of cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarct. Conclusion Correlative factors of cognitive impairment in patients with lacunar infarct are not merely one feature, but a combination of infarct features (number, location, and volume), cortical atrophy and host factors (age and education).

Objective To explore the effect of the traumatic brain injury on the fracture healing and the related mechanism. Methods 64 12-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into 2 groups: The femoral fracture with a brain injury group and the femoral fracture group. The bone callus was obtained 1, 2, 3 and 4 week after operation respectively, and observed with the HE staining. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and VEGF mRNA in the callus were detected with immunohistochemical staining and hybridization in situ. Results The formation and reforming of the callus in group with brain injury were ahead to only fracture. The percentages of the cells positive for VEGF and VEGF mRNA in the callus were more in group with brain injury than in pure fracture group at the same time point (P<0.05). Conclusion Traumatic brain injury can promote the healing of fracture, which is probably related to an increase in the expression of VEGF.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis (CMVR) is a common opportunistic infection of the eye after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with hematological diseases. It often occurs within 3 months after the operation, with CMV activation and high blood CMV peaks. It often occurs on patients with long-term CMV viremia, human leukocyte antigen incompatible transplantation, unrelated donor transplantation, haploid transplantation, childhood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, delayed lymphocyte engraftment, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease after surgery. The visual prognosis of patients is related to the area of CMVR lesions on the retina, the number of quadrants involved, whether the macula is involved, and the CMV load of the vitreous body is involved, and it is not related to whether the Epstein-Barr virus infection is combined with blood and vitreous humor. The incidence of CMVR is increasing year by year. It is helpful that paying attention to systemic risk factors and epidemiology can provide more effective guidance for ophthalmologists during diagnosis and treatment, help patients improve the prognosis of vision, and reduce or even avoid the occurrence of blindness caused by CMVR.
