Objective To evaluate the influence factor of the prognosis of traumatic subretinal hemorrhage after vitreo-retinal surgery. Methods The clinical data of 50 patients with traumatic subretinal hemorrhage who had undergone vitreo-retinal surgery were retrospectively analyzed. All patients had ocular traurnatie history and subretinal hemorrhage diagnosed by fundus and B-scan examination; the preoperative visual acuity was less than 0. 1. According to different conditions, the traumatic eyes were treated with vitreo-retinal surgery, combined with lensectomy, retinotomy or silicone oil tamponade, respectively. The period of follow-up after surgery was 2-53 months, and the average period was 7.27 months. The corrected visual acuity and retinal reattachment at the last follow-up were observed. The visual acuity ≥0. 1 was the standard of good prognosis; retina[ reattachment was observed by indirect ophthalmoscope and color fundus photography. The prognostic factors mainly included type of injury, open or closed injury, the disease course, preoperative visual acuity, retinal detachment, hemorrhagic choroidal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, the sites of submacular hemorrhage, methods of surgery. The relationships between those prognostic factors and visual acuity outcome or retinal reattachment were analyzed by χ2 test and logistic regression analysis. Results About 46.0% patients had good prognosis of the visualacuity. In the eyes with preoperative visual acuity of no light perception to hand moving and finger counting to 0. 1, the rate of good visual aeuitywas 34. 2% and 83.3%, respectively; the difference between the two groups was significant(χ2=8. 860, P = 0.003). In the eyes with or without preoperative retinal detachment, the rate of good visual acuity was 37.5% and 80. 0%, respectively; the difference between the two groups was significant (χ2=4. 232,P=0. 040). In the eyes with subretinal hemorrhage involving the macular fovea or not, the rate of good visual acuity was 34.4% and 66.7%, respectively; the difference between the two groups wassignificant (χ2 =4. 836,P=0. 028). All the other prognostic factors had no obvious effect on the retinal reattachment after the surgery. Conclusion Preoperative visual acuity, retinal detachment and submacular retinal hemorrhage were the important influence factors associated with prognostic visual acuity of eyes with traumatic subretinal hemorrhage after vitreo-retinal surgery.

Objective To observe the change of diffusion upper limit of macromolecules through pathological retina and the difference between the layers of retina. Methods Retinal edema was emulated by establishing branch retinal vein occlusion(RVO)model in miniature pig eyes under photodynamic method.Two days later,the retinas of both eyeballs were peeled off.The diffusion test apparatus was designed by ourselves.FITC-dextrans of various molecular weights(4.4,9.3,19.6,38.9,71.2 and 150 kDa)and Carboxyfluorescein(376 Da)were dissolved in RPMI-1640 solutions and diffused through inner or outer surface of retina.The rate of transretinal diffusion was determined with a spectrophotometer.Theoretical maximum size of molecule(MSM)was calculated by extrapolating the trend-linear relationship with the diffusion rate.In separate experiments to determine the sites of barrier tO diffusion,FITC-dextrans were applied to either the inner or outer retinal surface,processed as frozen sections.and viewed with a fluorescence microscope. Results FITC-dextrans applying tO inner retinal surface,4.4 kDa dextrans were largely blocked by inner nuclear layer(INL);19.6-71.2 kDa dextrans were blocked by the nerve fiber layer(NFL)and inner plexiform layer;150 kDa dextrans were blocked by NFL.FITC-dextrans applying to outer retinal surface,most dextrans with various molecular weights were blocked before outer nuclear layer(ONL).No matter applying to the inner or outer surface,Carboxyfluorescein can diffuse through the whole retina and aggregate at INL and ONL.After RVO,the inner part of retina became edema and cystoid,loosing the barrier function.Compared with the normal retina,the MSM in RVO tissues increased(6.5±0.39nm Vs 6.18±0.54nm,t=4.143,P=0.0001). Conclusions After RVO,the barrier function of inner part of retinal is destroyed and the upper limit of diffusion macromolecule size increased.which is nevertheless limited.ONL acts as bottle-neck barriers to diffusion,if the outer part of retina is damaged,the change of the diffusion upper limit will be prominent.

The compound excipient containing sodium stearyl fumarate and plasdone S-630 was prepared by applying spray drying method. The basic physical properties of compound excipient were studied by solubility test, scanning electron microscope, differential scanning calorimeter, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. The effect of compound excipient on moisture absorption and ferulic acid in vitro dissolution of spray drying power of angelica were investigated. The results showed that the chemical constituents of compound excipient did not change before and after spray drying. The water soluble compound excipient can improve significantly moisture absorption and has application prospect.

Objective To evaluate the long-term results of vitreoretinal surgery without use of intraocular silicone oil or gas in patients with diabetic tractional retinal detachment (DTRD).Methods The clinical interventional case series study included 104 patients (112 eyes) with DTRD,who were consecutively treated by pars plana vitrectomy without use of intraocular silicone oil or gas.Among the eyes,there were 6 eyes with iris neovascularization (INV),1 eye with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and 50 eyes with macular retinal detachment.There were no pre-existing retinal holes or breaks prior to surgery nor any iatrogenie retinal breaks developed during vitrectomy.Cataract removal combined with intraoeular lens implant surgeries were performed on 15 eyes.Follow-up duration varied from 12 to 65 months (mean: 29 months).Results Subretinal fluid was completely absorbed within 2 months after surgery.In 107 eyes (95.54%),the retina reattached after surgery and remained attached till the end of follow-up period.Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved in 79 eyes (70.53%),remained unchanged in 14 eyes (12.500%) and got worse in 19 eyes (16.79%).The BCVA improving rate was lower in the macular detached group (33 eyes/50 eyes,66.00% Vs 46 eyes/62 eyes,74.19%,χ2=0.89,P=0.344).No obviously aggravated opacity of lens was observed after vitreoretinal surgeries in the eyes without cataract surgeries.Seven (6.25%) eyes showed INV (5 new onset eyes),and none of them developed into NVG.In multivariate logistic regression,factors associated with postoperative rubeosis iridis were pre-existing rubeosis iridis I-adjusted odds ratio (OR)= 10.2],low preoperative BCVA (OR= 11.1) and low postoperative BCVA (OR = 16.7).Conclusions Vitreoretinal surgery for DTRD may not necessarily be combined with silicone oil or gas tamponade if there are no preoperative or intraoperative retinal breaks,and only using irrigation fluid could access a good long-term prognosis result.

ObjectiveTo evaluate and compare the prognosis of idiopathic macular holes (IMH) and traumatic macular holes (TMH) treated by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). Methods The clinical data of 72 IMH eyes and 55 TMH eyes, which were treated by PPV between November 2001 and December 2007,were retrospectively reviewed. The visual outcomes and macular anatomic closure were evaluated, and their relationships with prognostic factors including the size of macular hole (MH), preoperative visual acuity (VA) and duration of disease were analyzed. Results The closure rate of IMH (100. 0%) was significant higher than that of TMH (85.5%) (P=0. 001). The postoperative VA of IMH and TMH were (0. 25±0.02) and (0. 21±0. 21) respectively, both significantly increased compare to their preoperative VA (t=-6. 841, -4. 093; P=0.000). VA-increased IMH and TMH eyes had same VA (χ2=3. 651, P=0.07).Pre-PPV VA≥0. 1 IMH eyes had better outcomes than Pre-PPV VA＜0. 1 IMH eyes (χ2 = 12.04, P=0. 001), while Pre-PPV VA had no effects on TMH outcomes (χ2=0. 371, P=0. 486). IMH eyes with small holes had better outcomes (t=2. 476, P=0. 016), and TMH eyes with small holes had better closure (t= -4. 042, P＜0. 001). The duration of disease had no significant influence on TMH visual (χ2=0. 704,P = 0. 401 ) and anatomic (χ2 = 0. 166, P= 0. 684) outcomes. Conclusions PPV is an effective treatment for MH. The closure rate of IMH is higher than that of TMH. The diameter of MH and preoperative VA are major factors for IMH outcomes, and the duration of disease and preoperative VA have no effects on postoperative VA in TMH.

Objective To explore the histopathological changes of the pigs′ eyes in vivo after radial optic neurotomy (RON), and provide the experimental foundation for the safety of RON. Methods A total of 12 healthy miniature pigs were used in the experiment, in whom 8 were executed at the 1~st , 3~rd , 7~th , and 48~th day respectively after underwent RON in both eyes, and 4 were executed at the 120~th day after underwent RON unilaterally (the other eye was as the control in 2 and underwent single vitrectomy in 2). All the enucleated eyes were cut in sections routinely and embeded in paraffin. The sections were stained by HE, Masson trichrome staining or Luxol fast blue staining and the different sections of optic nerve were observed by light microscope. Results No damages of the major vessel wall were found and the cerebral pia mater of orbital optic nerves kept integrated. At the 1~st day after the operation, the incisions came into being and local hemorrhages infiltrated into the circumambience and backside. The vacuole-like change induced by the demyelination of optic nerve fiber located at the incisions. At the 3~rd day, the vacuole-like changes widened. At the 7~th day, the fibroblasts aggregated at the incision, with hyperplastic neuroglia cells and dispersed pigmented granules. Lymphocytes and monocytes were the major infiltrated inflammatory cells. At the 48~th day, collagen filled in the incisions and aggregated neuroglia cells of the rear optic nerves behind the incision were found, which showed weak staining with obvious boundary which was somewhat beyond the midline of optic nerves. At the 120~th day, localized atrophy of optic nerve occurred under the incision. No abnormal pathological findings were found in the normal eyes and the eyes undergo vitrectomy. Conclusions Localized atrophy of optic nerves comes into being after the normal pig eyes in vivo underwent RON. The surgery is safe to some extent.

Objective To observe and classify the characteristics of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for several common diseases which could lead to submacular choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and to provide the warrant to make the differential diagnosis and treatment of CNV. Methods The data of OCT of 165 patients (187 eyes) with CNV due to AMD, CEC, high myopia and ICNV diagnosed by fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) were retrospectively analyzed, and the images of OCT were classified considering the results of FFA, and the characteristics of different types of the images were sumerized. Results Well-defined fusiform thickening of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) and choriocapillary layer in CNV with well-defined border (60 eyes), dispersed backscattering increase in poorly-defined CNV (101 eyes), optic darkspace beneath RPE layer in serous detachment of RPE layer (19 eyes), quickly decreased high backscattering region under RPE layer in hemorrhagic detachment of RPE layer (11 eyes), slight to moderate backscattering region between RPE layer in fibrovascular detachment of RPE layer (10 eyes), and detachment of neurepithelial layer from RPE layer with the optic darkspace between the layers in detachment of neurepithelial layer (45 eyes) were observed. Conclusions The images of OCT for the common diseases which could lead to submacular choroidal neovascularization may be divided into 6 types. Analyzing the characteristics of images of OCT is helpful in differential diagnosis and treatment of CNV.

Objective To observe the characteristics of the images of optical coherence tomography (OCT) performed on the patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome and its clinical significance. Methods The clinical data of 25 patients with vitreomacular traction syndrome diagnosed by OCT, fundus fluorescein angiography, and B-scan ultrasonography and confirmed by surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. The features of images of OCT in vitreomacular traction syndrome were observed. Results Five types were found in the images of OCT in the patients with vetreomacular traction syndrome. The main characteristic of the images of OCT in the patients with vitreomacular traction was the highly reflective band of the vitreous posterior cortex inservion at fovea. In 25 patients, vitreomacular traction associated with macular edema was found in 10, macular hole in 3, macular epiretinal membrane in 6, retinoschisis in 1, and retinal detachment in 5. Conclusion OCT is a potential powerful toll for detecting and monitoring vitreomacular traction syndrome.

Objective To investigate the effect of triamcinolone acetonide (TA) with different dosage and excipient on retina. Methods Thirty-two purebred New Zealand white rabbits randomly divided into 4 groups underwent intravitreous injection with TA. Group 1:4 mg TA without excipient; group 2:25 mg TA without excipient; group 3:4 mg TA with excipient; group 4:25 mg TA with excipient. Electroretinography (ERG) was performed on each rabbit before intravitreal injection, 1 week, 1 and 2 months after the injection. All the animals were killed and the eyeballs were extirpated 2 months after the injection, and pathological examinations including light and electron microscopy were performed. Results No significant difference was found in the latent period of ERG at the points of time before and after the injection in all the groups, but the amplitudes of ERG waves was lower in groups containing excipient than that before the treatment (P
