Objective To compare the differences of optic disc parameters and the thickness of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL) in acute uveitis Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome with different degrees of optic disc edema. Methods This is a retrospective study including 40 eyes of 23 VKH patients. The eyes were divided into 2 groups according to the results of fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA). The discs with hyperfluorescence but no leakage were in mild optic disc edema group (group A, 13 patients and 25 eyes), and the discs with hyperfluorescence and leakage were in severe optic disc edema group (group B, 10 patients and 15 eyes). The patients were significantly older in group B than in group A (t=-2.17, P<0.05). The differences of gender, diseased time (t=-1.67) and corrected visual acuity (t=-0.76) between 2 groups were not significant (P>0.05). Eighty eyes of 46 normal healthy subjects, matching group A and group B with age and gender, were divided into group C (26 subjects and 50 eyes) and group D (20 subjects and 30 eyes) respectively.All subjects underwent three dimensional optical coherence tomography examinations. The parameters included average thickness of entire circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL), thickness of nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL, disc area, disc cup area, rim area, cup/disc (C/D) area ratio, C/D horizontal diameter ratio and C/D vertical diameter ratio. Results The disc area, disc cup area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal and temporal quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group A than those in group C (P<0.05). The disc area and rim area were bigger, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal, superior, temporal and inferior quadrant of CP-RNFL were thicker, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller in group B than those in group D (P<0.05). The disc area was bigger, disc cup area, C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio were smaller, the thickness of mean CP-RNFL and the nasal , superior and inferior quadrants of CP-RNFL were thicker in group B than those in group A (P<0.05). Conclusions Acute VKH uveitis with mild optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in the nasal and temporal quadrants; with severe optic disc edema has thicker CP-RNFL in all 4 quadrants. Acute VKH uveitis also has smaller C/D area ratio and C/D diameter ratio.

Objective To compare the differences of optic nerve head (ONH) parameters and the thickness of circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (CP-RNFL) between acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome (VKH) and acute central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) patients.Methods Retrospective clinical case control analysis.This study included 38 eyes of 20 acute VKH patients (VKH group) and 37 eyes of 37 acute CSC patients (CSC group).Seventy five eyes of 57 normal healthy subjects,matching patients with age and gender,were collected as control group.The disc RPE angle,the thickness of average CP-RNFL,the nasal,superior,temporal and inferior quadrant CP-RNFL thickness,and ONH parameters including optic disc area,cup area,rim area,C/D area ratio,linear CD ratio (CDR),vertical CDR were measured by 3D-OCT.Analysis of variance was performed for comparison among three groups.Minimum significant difference t test was performed for comparison between two groups.Results The differences of ONH parameters between VKH group and CSC group:29 eyes of VKH group appeared retinal detachment next to disc,only 12 eyes appeared in CSC group.Twenty one eyes of VKH group appeared optic disc hyperemia while none in CSC group.The three groups' disc RPE angles were (138.62± 11.96)°,(154.09±5.85)° and (153.41 ±5.77)°.VKH group were significantly smaller than CSC group (t=-2.05,P=0.00) and control group (t=-1.68,P=0.00),while there was no significant difference between CSC group and control group (t=-1.88,P=0.72).The optic cup area and rim area were significantly bigger in VKH group than in CSC group (t=4.61,2.71;P=0.00,0.01),and the thickness of mean CP-RNFL,all quadrants of CP-RNFL were significantly thicker in VKH group than in CSC group (t=6.25,4.40,3.53,5.48,2.69;P=0.00,0.00,0.00,0.00,0.01).Conclusion Compared with the acute CSC,VKH patients are likely to appear retinal detachment next to disc,their disc RPE angles are smaller,their optic cup area and rim area are bigger,and their CP-RNFL thickness are thicker.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of obesity in adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) and its association with the depressed severity.Methods:A total of 278 adolescents with MDD were recruited according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their demographic data were collected and 24-item Hamilton depression scale (HAMD-24) was used to evaluate their severity of depression. According to the body mass index (BMI) classification standard of adolescents in China, all subjects were classified into four groups(wasting group, normal BMI group, overweight group and obesity group). SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. The Kruskal-Wallis test and the Chi-square test were separately used for the comparison of the four groups.Spearman correlation was used to explore the relationship between BMI and HAMD-24 scores and severity.Results:Among 278 adolescents with MDD, the prevalence of body abnormality was 32.4% (90/278), among which wasting, overweight and obesity were 9.0% (25/278), 14.4% (40/278) and 9.0% (25/278) respectively. There were statistically differences in gender ( χ2=17.018, P<0.001), HAMD-24 scores ( H=9.427, P=0.024) and depressed severity( H=8.508, P=0.037) among the four groups. Multiple comparisons showed that there were only statistically differences between obesity group and normal BMI group, that was the prevalence of obesity in males was higher than that in females ( χ2=13.631, P<0.001), and the level in HAMD-24 scores ( Z=2.956, P=0.003) and depressed severity ( Z=2.832, P=0.005) was lower in obesity group than that in normal BMI group.Spearman correlation analysis showed that BMI was negatively correlated with HAMD-24 scores ( r=-0.162, P=0.007). Conclusion:There is gender difference in obesity rates among the adolescent patients with first-episode untreated MDD. And the obese patients are less depressed than those with normal BMI.
