Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 1999;0(02):-
Objective To investigate the course of the idiopathic macular hole (IMH) clinically diagnosed as at stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ by optical coherence tomography (OCT), and analyze the relationship between the posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and the course of IMH. Methods Hadn′t undergone any operation, periodical OCT were performed on 72 eyes of 58 patients with IMH at stage Ⅰ-Ⅳ confirmed by Gass standard and the features of OCT images. Results The longest follow-up period was 43 months (average 13.4 months), and the examine times of OCT on each eye were between twice to 10 times (average 4.7 times). During the follow-up period, 23 eyes were in stage I in which 9 (39.1%) developed to stage II and 2 had recovered normal curve of fovea after PVD; 19 were in stage II in which 13 (68.4%) developed to Ⅲ-Ⅳ and 1 had closed hole after PVD; 11 were in stage III in which 5 (45.5%) developed to stage IV and 1 had partly closed hole 12 months later. The images of OCT showed that the process of macular hole was consistent with the course that vitreous depart from retina from the circumference of fovea till entire posterior detachment.Fifteen affected eyes in this series of patients had undcrygong surgical treatment due to serious progression of IMH in follow-up period. Conclusions There is a close relationship between the formation and development of macular hole and the occurrence of PVD. OCT can show the progress of the macular hole directly and offer an important technique in diagnosis, classification and surgical treatment of IMH.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and the diabetic macular edema (DME). Methods A total of 169 eyes with DME which were diagnosed by funduscopy,fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were retrospectively analysed. PVD and partial PVD were detected by OCT and biomicroscopy. The characterizations of OCT images of DME were analysed. Results In 169 eyes, 156 (92.3%) had no PVD with the average thickness of fovea of 297 ?m; 11 (6.5%) had complete PVD with the average thickness of fovea of 229 ?m; 2 (1.2%) had partial PVD with the average thickness of fovea of 347 ?m. Conclusions Only a few PVD were found in DME eyes, so traction of PVD may not be the main cause of DME.

Objective To investigate the relationship between peripheral blood circulating follicular helper T cells and antibody-secreting B cells in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). The role of circulating follicular helper T cells and antibody-secreting B cells in the pathogenesis of AS were explored. Methods Flow cytometry was used to detect the levels of peripheral blood CD4 +CXCR5+ T (cTfh), CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+ T, CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+ T, CD19+ B, CD19+CD38+ B cells in 59 patients with AS (including 36 cases of active AS patients and 23 cases of inactive AS patients). In addition, twenty healthy persons were selected as the controls. Data analysis were performed by independent-sample t test, One way ANOVA analysis, Pearson's and Spearman's correlation test. Results The percentages of cTfh [(26.8 ±10.4)%], CD4+CXCR5+PD-1+T [(12.1±14.0)%], CD4+CXCR5+ICOS+T [(13.6±9.5)%], CD19+CD38+B [(80.7±13.0)%] in the peripheral blood of AS group were significantly higher than healthy controls [(15.6 ±4.5)%, (6.4 ±2.4)%, (9.4 ± 4.5)%, (68.2±13.0)%] (t=6.663, P<0.01; t=2.999, P<0.01; t=2.573, P<0.05; t=2.712, P<0.01). The percentages of cTfh in the active AS group [(30.2 ±11.0)%] were significantly higher than those in the inactive AS group [(21.4±6.5)%] and HC (t=3.444, P<0.01;t=7.004, P<0.01). The percentage of CD19+CD38+B[(85.1±10.0)%] in the peripheral blood of active AS group was significantly higher than that of the inactive AS group [(73.8 ±14.2)%] and HC (t=3.561, P<0.01;t=5.410, P<0.01). The relationship between Bath AS disease activity index (BASDAI) and the percentage of cTfh, CD19+CD38+B was a positive correlation (r=0.442, P<0.01; r=0.405, P=0.001), and significant positive correlation was observed between the percentages of cTfh and CD19+CD38+B cells (r=0.420, P=0.001). Conclusion CD4+CXCR5+cTfh cells are significantly increased in peripheral blood in AS patients with aberrant CD19+CD38+ antibody-secreting B cells, suggesting that cTfh and CD19+CD38+antibody-secreting B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of AS .

Objective To investigate renal dialysis patients' resilience and influencing factors for clinical teaching. Methods Connor-Davidson resilience scale(CD-RISC),simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ), perceived social support scale (PSSS) and positive and negative affect scale (PANAS) were used for a survey of 160 renal dialysis patients in Xinan Hospital and Xinqiao Hospital (156 valid questionnaires) and the questionnaire information was put into the computer by the two-input mode and was made the questionnaire data analysis, single factor analysis and variance and re-gression analysis of by SPSS 18.0. Results Renal dialysis patients' resilience has no significant differ-ence in gender, frequency of kidney dialysis and kidney dialysis time (P>0.05), but resilience and positive coping scores of the age group between 31 to 40 were significantly higher than those of the group between 41-50 group(P=0.000). Taking the education background into consideration, resilience and positive coping scores of junior high school or above education were significantly higher than those of primary school education (P=0.000,P=0.000). Positive emotion, positive coping, and social support were positively correlated with resilience and negative emotions were negatively correlated with resilience in linear regression analysis. Conclusion Kidney dialysis patients who are over the age of 40 and less educated may have lower resilience, and less positive coping, more prone to nega-tive emotions, which is not conducive to the rehabilitation and treatment of disease. For kidney dialysis patients, improving their positive response, perceived social support and positive mood, and reducing their negative emotions are beneficial to the improvement of their resilience.
