Objective To investigate the changes of multifocal electroretinogram ( mf-ERG ) in patients with Parkinson′s disease.Methods Forty-five Parkinson′s disease patients ( 70 eyes ) and 35 normal controls (60 eyes) enrolled in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from February 2015 to February 2016 received mf-ERG examination and general ophthalmology examinations including best corrected vision acuity, slit-lamp test, fundus examination, intraocular pressure and vision field test. Results The amplitude density of P 1 wave in Parkinson′s disease patients was dramatically decreased in ring 1, ring 2 and ring 5 compared with the normal controls (amplitude density of P1 in ring 1:(100.58 ± 41.19) nV/deg2 vs (138.10 ±17.16) nV/deg2,t=5.086,P<0.01; amplitude density of P1 in ring 2:(21.93 ±7.46) nV/deg2 vs (37.56 ±9.39) nV/deg2, t=9.844, P<0.01; amplitude density of P1 in ring 5:(7.07 ±3.04) nV/deg2 vs (10.22 ±3.68) nV/deg2 ,t=4.924, P<0.01).The latency of P1 wave in ring 1, ring 3 in Parkinson′s disease patients was significantly higher than the control group (latency of P1 wave in ring 1:(42.72 ±8.09) ms vs (37.90 ±5.95) ms, t=-3.155, P<0.01;latency of P1 wave in ring 3:(41.20 ±7.63) ms vs (37.80 ±4.59) ms, t=-2.995, P<0.01).The implicit time of N1 wave in ring 1 in Parkinson′s disease patients was delayed , which had statistically significant difference compared with the normal controls ((21.92 ±7.87) ms vs (19.04 ±4.19) ms, t=-2.012, P=0.046).However, in the amplitude of N1 wave, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups . Conclusions The vision function has already decreased in Parkinson′s disease patients , even before the vision acuity is normal .The mf-ERG test can find the changes of vision function in Parkinson′s disease patients, which are the decrease of amplitude density of P 1 , the latency of implicit times of P 1 wave and N1 wave in some regions of the retina .

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the affection to heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate by nasal packing versus transseptal suturing techniques during patients undergone septoplasty. METHODS Eighty patients with deviation of nasal septum were included in this study. The patients were allocated into two groups: packing group and suturing group. The heart rates, blood pressure and breathing rates pre-and post-operations were collected, and the ascending range of these between two groups were assessed. The post-operative complications were observed. RESULTS The ascending range of the heart rates, blood pressure and breathing rates were smaller in suturing group than in packing group patients(P ＜0.05). There is no significant differences in post-operative complications between 2 groups. CONCLUSION Nasal suturing techniques during septoplasty might be a valid substitution for packing with more stable vital signs, smaller burden on the cardiovascular system and the same complication rates.
