Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of traditional laser photocoagulation, laser combined with intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial factor (anti-VEGF) drugs and intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs alone in Coats disease.Methods:The patients diagnosed as Coats disease stage 2B-3A2 in Department of Ophthalmology, Eye and ENT Hospital of Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University from December 2016 to November 2019 were included in this study. Patients were divided into three groups, including laser group, combined group and drug group, according to the different treatment. In the laser group, the initial treatment was traditional laser photocoagulation alone. In the drug group, the anti-VEGF drug was injected into vitreous once a month for three months. The initial treatment of the eyes in the combined group was laser combined with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs, or laser treatment within 1 week after anti-VEGF drug treatment. The follow-up time was more than 6 months, and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), ultra-wide-angle fundus photography, and fluorescein fundus angiography were performed during follow-up. The treatment efficiency, subretinal fluid (SRF), macular edema, BCVA and complications were compared among the three groups.Results:Among 60 patients (60 eyes), there were 55 males (55 eyes) and 5 females (5 eyes), with the mean age of 17.1±2.0 years. Among 60 eyes, there were 26 eyes in 2B stage, 23 eyes in 3A1 stage, and 11 eyes in 3A2 stage. Twenty patients (20 eyes) was in the laser group, combined group and drug group, respectively. After the initial treatment of all eyes in the drug group, the abnormal blood vessels did not regress significantly; the absorption and increase of SRF were 4 (20.0%, 4/20) and 5 (25.0%, 5/20) eyes, respectively. Supplementary laser therapy was given to 16 eyes, and vitrectomy (PPV) was given to 4 eyes. Among the 16 eyes treated by laser, 10 eyes were effective (50.0%, 10/20); vitreous hemorrhage, fibrous membrane hyperplasia, and complicated cataract occurred in 1, 1, and 2 eyes during the treatment, respectively, and PPV was given again in all eyes. Recurrent and persistent macular edema occurred in 4 and 1 eyes, respectively. Among the eyes in the combined group, treatment were effective in 11 eyes (55.0%, 11/20); 5, 2, and 2 eyes had SRF, fibrous membrane hyperplasia, and complicated cataract during the treatment, and PPV was given again; the edema was repeated and persisted in 1 eye, respectively. Among the affected eyes in the laser group, 15 eyes (75.0%, 15/20) were treated effectively; 2, 2, and 1 eyes developed a large number of vitreous hemorrhage, fibrous membrane hyperplasia, and complicated cataract during the treatment, and PPV was given again.Conclusions:Anti-VEGF drugs alone are ineffective in the treatment of Coats disease, and ablation of other abnormal blood vessels is needed. In the treatment of Coats disease, anti-VEGF drugs can not only promote the absorption of SRF, but also may lead to its increase, and the application should be cautious.

Objective:To investigate macular microvascular abnormalities in eyes with subfoveal fibrotic nodules secondary to Coats' disease.Methods:A cross-sectional study. From January 1, 2018 to July 30, 2021, 45 eyes of 45 patients diagnosed with Coats' disease with or without subfoveal fibrotic nodules in Eye and ENT Hospital, Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University were included in this study. There were 40 eyes in 40 males and 5 eyes in 5 females. All were under 21 years old. According to the presence or absence of subfoveal fiber nodules, the patients were divided into fibrotic group (26 cases, 26 eyes) and non-fibrotic group (19 cases, 19 eyes). Optical coherence tomography angiography was used to scan 3 mm×3 mm or 6 mm×6 mm macular area of both eyes. The software of the device automatically processed the images. The presence of FAZ edge anastomotic vascular arch ring breakage and abnormal microvascular branch (AMB) in the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) were observed.Results:In 26 eyes of fibrosis group, AMB originating from the parafoveal retinal capillary network was observed, which grew into and destroyed the integrity of the vascular arch ring at the edge of FAZ. AMB was crisscrossing and winding, and its curvature expands. B-scan images showed the blood flow signal in the subfoveal fiber nodule, and the blood flow signal traversed between the inner retina and the fiber nodule in 23 eyes (88.46%, 23/26). In the non-fibrosis group, all the vascular abnormalities were characterized by capillary dilation and defect, and no breakage of FAZ anastomotic vascular arch ring or AMB was observed.Conclusions:In Coats' disease with subfoveal fiber nodules, staggered and dilated AMBs emerge from the parafoveal vascular network, grow into and destroy the integrity of the vascular arch ring at the edge of FAZ, and grow down longitudinally into the fiber nodules.

Under the national policy background of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)registration review and approval reform, TCM preparations in medical institutions(hereinafter referred to as medical institution preparations) have human use experience, conform to the characteristics of TCM clinical practice, and have advantages in the research and development of innovative Chinese medicines. Therefore, the research and development mode based on clinical experience prescription-medical institution preparations-innovative Chinese medicines has attracted widespread attention from the industry. However, in the process of development and use of medical institution preparations, there are generally clinical problems that restrict their transformation into innovative Chinese medicines, resulting in a relatively weak collection basis of human use experience and insufficient clinical evidence for supporting the research and development of new TCM medicines. In this paper, on the basis of sorting out the supporting regulations and relevant technical requirements of human use experience, and analyzing the clinical problems restricting the transformation of medical institution preparations, it provides suggestions for medical institutions to carry out high-quality research on human use experience of preparations in the process of TCM clinical practice from the aspects of continuously exploring clinical value, improving the construction of information system, focusing on the TCM clinical practice and giving full play to the advantages of discipline cooperation. By realizing the whole life cycle management of medical institution preparations based on three-combination evaluation evidence system, we can promote the transformation of medical institution preparations into innovative Chinese medicines.
