Objective To measure quantitatively and analysis the differences in the anterior segment biological parameters between the normal subject and patients suffering primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG),as well as the distinction among different stages of PACG by using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT).Methods A retrospective case series study was designed.Medical records of 217 cases (217 eyes) from The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University from December 2013 to December 2014 were recruited,including 5 groups as follows:35 cases (35 eyes) with pre-clinical stage acute primary angle closure glaucoma (APACG),32 cases (32 eyes) with remission period of APACG,35 cases (35 eyes) with early stage of chronic primary angle closure glaucoma (CPACG),35 cases (35 eyes) with progress period of CPACG and 80 cases (80 eyes) coming for regular eye health examination in general clinic.The anterior segment biological parameters of each group was measured by Heidelberg Spectralis OCT,including the anterior chamber width (ACW),angle opening distance (AOD),trabecular iris area (TISA),iris thickness (IT) and crystalline lens rise (CLR).Results The IT and CLR of APACG and CPACG were significantly greater than normal control group,while other anterior segment parameters were significantly smaller,with significant differences between them (all at P＜0.01).The IT and CLR of APACG was bigger than those of CPACG,with significant differences between them (both at P＜0.05),the ACW,AOD,TISA of the two gruops showed no significant differences.The AOD and TISA of remission period of APACG were significantly decreased than those of pre-clinical stage (all at P＜O.01).The IT and CLR of remission period APACG was significantly greater than pre-clinical stage (both at P＜0.01).The difference in ACW of the two group was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).Compared with progress period of CPACG,the IT of the early stage of CPACG was thicker,while the CLR was smaller (both at P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in ACW,AOD and TISA between the two groups.The IT2000 and ITmax of pre-clinical stage of APACG were significantly smaller than those of early stage of CPACG (both at P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in other parameters between the two groups (P＞0.05).The IT750,IT2 000 and ITmax of the pre-clinical stage of APACG were significantly thicker than those of progress period of CPACG (all at P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in other parameters between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Compared with normal people,the PACG patients have a more crowding anterior segment structure,smaller AOD,smaller TISA,thicker IT and more anterior located lens.The APACG patient at remission period has a more crowding anterior segment structure,smaller AOD,smaller TISA,thicker IT and more anterior located lens than APACG patient at per-clinic stage.The CPACG patient at progress period has a higher CLR,but thinner IT than patient at early stage.The APACG patients at per-clinic stage has thicker IT and a more crowding anterior segment structure than the CPACG patient at early stage,and the APACG patient at remission period has thicker IT than CPACG patient at progress period.

Objective: To analyze the urinary iodine status of urban and rural residents in some areas of Gansu Province and its related influencing factors, and to provide certain references for scientific iodine intake of urban and rural residents in Gansu Province. Methods: Subjects in Gansu Province with normal thyroid function were recruited in the investigation of thyroid diseases and iodine nutritional status, conducted a questionnaire survey and measured height, weight, waist circumference, collected 1 urine sample, and tested their urinary iodine levels. The urinary iodine levels of different groups were compared based on different gender, region, age, body weight, the waist, and salt intaking. The affecting factors of urinary iodine levels were analyzed by multiple linear regression models. Results: Totally 1 964 subjects were recruited, including 1 099 males, and 865 females. The age was (41.23 ± 14.75) years old. The median urinary iodine of the selected group was 225.60 (158.80, 311.58) μg/L. The urinary iodine level of rural residents was significantly higher than that of urban residents [μg/L: 249.80 (180.58, 336.88) vs 206.25 (148.03, 280.33), Z=-8.015, P < 0.05], and there was no significant difference between the urinary iodine levels of male and female [μg/L: 222.40 (161.60, 298.90) vs 230.60 (158.00, 326.40), P > 0.05]. The composition ratio of < 100 μg/L group in rural areas was lower than that in urban areas (5.14% vs 8.27%, χ²= 7.45, P < 0.05), and the composition ratio of ≥300 μg/L group was higher than that in urban areas (34.93% vs 21.51%, χ²= 43.87, P < 0.05). The composition ratio of ≥300 μg/L group in male was lower than that in female (24.57% vs 31.21%, χ²= 10.73, P < 0.05). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that lived in rural areas, age, moderate and severe salt intaking, student, and weight were independently correlated with urinary iodine levels (β= 0.074, -0.001, 0.059, 0.034, 0.096, -0.003, P < 0.05). And the urinary iodine levels were decreased with age and weight increased (P < 0.05). Conclusions At present, the iodine nutrition level of urban and rural residents in some areas of Gansu Province is generally over the adequate level. The urinary iodine level of rural residents is higher than that of urban residents. In the future, we should pay attention to the impact of different living areas, salt intaking and body weight on urinary iodine levels to prevent thyroid diseases.
