International Eye Science 2014;(7):1325-1326
AlM: To observe the postoperative intraocular pressure ( lOP) and operation safety in the eyes of the neovascular glaucoma pateints treated by intraocular cyclophotocoagulation which needed vitrectomy at the same time.
METHODS: A total of 12 neovascular glaucoma cases ( 14 eyes ) secondary to diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment surgery and trauma were reviewed in our study. This procedure mainly used intraocular photocoagulation catheter to highlight the ciliary processes until the ciliary became white atrophy or plosion after vitreous surgery treatment. The intraocular photocoagulation catheter was performed at a power of 300-500mW, for a duration of 0. 1-0. 2ms. Postoperative follow-up was at least for 6mo. The observation of 14 postoperative neovascular glaucoma was performed at 1wk, 1, 6mo observing the lOP and complications.
RESULTS:lOP of the 11 eyes was significantly declined and controlled in normal. After cyclophotocoagulation, average lOP at 1wk was 16. 7±14. 4mmHg, 15. 7±8. 8mmHg at 1mo and 12. 9±4. 5mmHg at 6mo, which compared with untreatment ( 39. 6 ± 10. 0mmHg ) was statistically significant different (P<0. 01). ln follow up time 3 cases were relapsed which were supplied with transscleral or endoscope cyclophotocoagulation. During the follow-up period no endophthalmitis and complications such as eyeball atrophy were found.
CONCLUSlON: The intraocular cyclophotocoagulation and vitrectomy simultaneously can deal with the primary disease and secondary neovascular glaucoma. The operation can be accurately performed under direct cyclophotocoagulation and it is a safe and effective way for neovascular glaucoma which needs vitreous surgery.

Objective To measure the renal cortex blood flow leVel in Patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease, and to obserVe the effect of Probucol on renal cortex blood flow and renal function. Methods Twenty Patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease in our hosPital were randomly diVided into treatment grouP ( 10 Patients ) and obserVation grouP ( 10 Patients). Ten healthy subjects were chosen as the control grouP. Dynamic sonograPhic tissue Perfusion measurement (DTPM) was used to eValuate the mean flow intensity (Imix),mean flow Velocity (Vmix) and tissue resistance index (TRI) in the three grouPs. Patients in the obserVation grouP were treated with standard theraPy;the treatment grouP was giVen Probucol 500 mg,twice daily in addition to standard theraPy for 6 months. The renal cortex blood flow leVel after treatment was measured in the treatment grouP and obserVation grouP. The serum BUN,SCr,TC,TG,LDL,HDL,hs_CRP,ox_LDL,PA,ALB before and after treatment were measured and comPared between the treatment grouP and obserVation grouP. Results Imix and Vmix were significantly lower,and TRI was significantly higher in the treatment grouP and obserVation grouP than in the control grouP (P<0. 01). After 6 months of treatment,Imix and Vmix in the treatment grouP were significantly increased and TRI significantly decreased as comPared with the baseline and the control grouP (P<0. 01). After treatment,Imix and Vmix were significantly decreased and TRI was significantly increased in the obserVation grouP (P<0. 05). In the treatment grouP,the serum BUN,SCr,TC,TG,LDL,hs_CRP and ox_LDL decreased and PA,ALB and HDL increased after treatment as comPared with the baseline and the obserVation grouP (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion The renal cortex blood flow leVel is significantly lower in Patients with stage 3-4 chronic kidney disease than in the healthy PeoPle. Probucol can imProVe the renal cortex blood flow leVel significantly,Protect the renal function, and imProVe microinflammatory state,nutrition status and dysliPidemia.
