Background Application of available technology and objective indexes are very important for the early diagnosis,monitoring and therapeutic evaluation of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).Many studies have determined retinal damage in structure and function in POAG.However,the study on the association of structural damage and functional abnormality in early POAG is still lack.Objective This study was to evaluate the relationship between structural and functional changes of retina in early stage of POAG.Methods A prospectively pilot study was performed under the approval of Ethic Committee of Shenzhen Eye Hospital from January 2011 to June 2013.Based on Helsinki Declaration,written informed consent was obtained from subject prior to entering the cohort.Ninety-five eyes of 95 POAG patients were included as the study group,and 41 eyes of 41 non-glaucoma subjects were enrolled at the same period as controls.The structural parameters of retinas were measured using RTVue-100 OCT and Cirrus HD-OCT respectively,including macular ganglion cell complex (GCC)-Avg thickness and peripapillary retinal neural fibril layer (RNFL)-Avg thickness;and the functional parameters of retinas were obtained by Humphrey visual filed analyzer and RETI scan 3.15 system respectively,including MD of visual field and PhNR of flash electroretinogram (F-ERG).The associations between the GCC or RNFL thickness and M D or amplitude of PhNR were evaluated by linear and curvilinear regression models.Results The MD,GCC-Avg,RNFL-Avg and PhNR amplitude were (-0.68±1.72)dB,(97.17± 4.82)μm,(102.51±8.74) μm and (49.61±11.01)μV respectively in the control subjects,and those in the POAG patients were (-10.82±9.87) dB,(75.07±12.29) μm,(69.09±12.96) μm and (28.38± 11.52) μV,showing significant differences between them (t =6.549,11.118,-15.061,9.956,all at P=0.001).The curvilinear regression model appeared to better describe the relationship between GCC thickness and MD (R2 =0.595,F=97.089,P<0.001) ;while a linear regression model seemed to be better fit for the relationship between GCC thickness and amplitude of PhNR (R2=0.437,F=103.413,P<0.001).RNFL thickness analysis showed the similar regression models with MD and amplitude of PhNR as GCC thickness,but R2 values were higher between the RNFL thickness and MD (R2 =0.606,F =101.666,P<0.001) or amplitude of PhNR (R2 =0.454,F=54.983,P<0.001).Conclusions Both GCC thickness and RNFL thickness show a curvilinear relationship with MD and a linear relationship with amplitude of PhNR.Goodness-of-fit of RNFL thickness is superior to GCC thickness.

Objective To study correlation of the retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with different optical coher-ence tomography (OCT) in vivo with histological measurement. Design Experimental study. Participants 15 rabbit eyes. Methods The retina measurement position of 15 rabbit eyes were marked by laser, and then were scanned by OSE-1800 OCT and Stratus OCT. Reti-nal nerve epithelium layer thickness was measured in retinal histological shdes of rabbit eyes. The results measured with three methods were compared and linear regression analyses were done with SPSS11.5 software. Results The average retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with OSE-1800 OCT, Stratus OCT and histological method were 119.5±7.4, 118.0±5.6, and 116.3±8.8μm respec-tively(P=0.292). Retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with both OCT instruments had the best correlation (r=0.914, P= 0.000), and the thickness measured with Stratus OCT and histological method had the better correlation (r=0.872, P=0.001), and the thickness measured with OSE-1800 OCT and histological method had the significant correlation (r=0.833, P=0.002). Conclusions The retinal nerve epithelium layer thickness measured with different OCTs in vivo correlate well with histomorphometry, and the measure-ment of both OCT instruments are accurate.

Objective To observe the effect of Xuebijing injection on the expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB-1) in rat peritoneal mesothelial cells (PMCs) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods PMCs were isolated from rat colic omentum and the 3rd generation cells were used in the experiment. PMCs were incubated with LPS at different concentrations (1,10,100 mg/L);with LPS (10 mg/L) for 2, 6, 12, 18, 21, 24, 36 h;with Xuebijing injection at different concentrations (2,10,20 g/L) after incubation with LPS (10 mg/L) for 2 h. PMCs in the control group were incubated with medium. HMGB-1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. TNF-α and HMGB-1 protein in supernatants was detected by ELISA. Results Compared to the control group, the expression of HMGB-1 mRNA and protein was significantly increased in groups stimulated by LPS in a time- and dose-dependent manner (all P<0.05);the expression of TNF-α was increased in the groups stimulated by LPS in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). In the groups stimulated by LPS (10 mg/L), the expression of TNF-α appeared double hump within 36 hours. Compared to LPS (10 mg/L) group, Xuebijing injection significantly inhibited the expression of HMGB-1 and TNF-α (all P<0.05 ) in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusions HMGB-1 as a late mediator of inflammatory responses may play a role in the pathogenesis of peritoneal dialysis related peritonitis. Xuebijing injection can reduce peritoneal inflammatory impairment by inhibiting the up-regulation of TNF-α and HMGB-1 induced by LPS.
