AIM: To investigate the correlation of serum leucine-rich α-2 glycoprotein 1(LRG1)and fibroblast growth factor 21(FGF-21)levels with neovascular glaucoma(NVG).METHODS: A total of 110 cases(110 eyes)with NVG admitted to the ophthalmology department from September 2020 to September 2022 were selected as NVG group, with 23 cases of grade II, 44 cases of grade III, and 43 cases of grade IV, while 90 sex and age matched cataract patients(90 eyes)were selected as control group. The levels of LRG1, FGF-21, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), pigment epithelium-derived factor(PEDF), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in serum were detected by ELISA; Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation of serum LRG1 and FGF-21 levels with Teich grade, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α levels.RESULTS: The levels of serum LRG1, FGF-21, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α in the NVG group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P<0.01). With the increase of Teich grading, the levels of serum LRG1, FGF-21, VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α in NVG patients significantly increased in turn(all P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the levels of LRG1 and FGF-21 in serum of NVG patients were positively correlated with the levels of VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The levels of LRG1 and FGF-21 in serum of patients with NVG are obviously increased, which are positively correlated with the levels of VEGF, PEDF and TNF-α, both of which may be related to the development of NVG.

Objective To observe the effect of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor(VEGF) to the expression in hepatoma cells affected by TGF-?1 and hopxia. Methods HepG2 cells were cultured in vitro, and treated with different doses of TGF-?1 and Cobalt chloride hexahydrate(CoCl2), or with TGF-?1 and CoCl2. The change of VEGF protein and mRNA was detected by immunohistochemistry and semiquantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR showed that the expression of VEGF protein and mRNA were significantly higher in TGF-?1 groups or CoCl2 groups than that of control group(P

AIM: To compare the efficacy of small-incision lenticule extraction(SMILE)and femtosecond assisted laser in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)in the treatment of patients with myopia and astigmatism.METHODS: Retrospective analysis. A total of 100 cases(200 eyes)of patients with myopia and astigmatism treated in our hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were collected. Among them, 50 cases(100 eyes)were divided into SMILE group and 50 cases(100 eyes)were divided into FS-LASIK group according to the treatment plans. The visual acuity and astigmatism, corneal morphology parameters, subjective visual quality scores, ocular surface indicators, postoperative complications, and quality of life were compared between the two groups before and after surgery.RESULTS: There was no significant difference in uncorrected visual acuity(UCVA), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), astigmatism, corneal asphericity Q value, corneal surface regularity index(SRI), corneal thickness, and corneal curvature between the two groups before surgery and at 1 d, 1, and 6 mo after surgery(all P>0.05). At 1 and 6 mo after surgery, the subjective visual quality score, the quality of life score, Schirmer I test(SⅠt)and tear film break-up time(BUT)in the SMILE group were better than that in the FS-LASIK group(all P<0.05). The incidence of complications in the SMILE group was lower than that in the FS-LASIK group at 6 mo after surgery(P=0.005).CONCLUSION: Both SMILE and FS-LASIK have good clinical effects in the treatment of myopia with astigmatism, but the SMILE could alleviate ocular surface injury, reduce the risk of complications and improve the quality of lifes for patients.

Objective To retrospectively analyze of factors influencing early preterm birth(EPB)and late preterm birth(LPB)in pregnancy women with placenta previa complicated by placenta accreta spectrum disorders(PAS),and assess maternal and infant outcomes.Methods We included 590 cases of pregnancy women with placenta previa complicated by PAS who underwent cesarean sections at five hospitals in Wuhan and Xianning cities between January 2018 and June 2021.These patients were divided into three groups based on delivery gesta-tional age:EPB,LPB,and term birth(TB).A multiple logistic regression model was employed to analyze the risk factors associated with EPB and LPB.Additionally,differences in early maternal and infant outcomes among these groups were examined.Results Among 590 pregnancy women with placenta previa complicated by PAS,the proportions of EPB and LPB were 9.7%and 54.4%.The use of uterine contraction inhibitors prior to cesarean section,vaginal bleeding,and previous cesarean sections history were identified as risk factors for both EPB and LPB.The proportion of severe postpartum hemorrhage was comparable between the EPB group and the LPB group;however,the incidence of neonatal asphyxia,low birth weight infants,and the rate of newborns transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit(NICU)within 24 hours after cesarean delivery were significantly higher in the EPB group compared to the LPB group.Conclusions Placenta previa complicated by PAS predominantly leads to LPB.The history of prior cesarean sections,uterine contractions,and vaginal bleeding prior to cesarean section,are sig-nificantly associated with both EPB and LPB.During the perinatal period,efforts should be made to extend gesta-tional weeks under close monitoring to minimize the incidence of premature births and thereby improve early mater-nal and infant outcomes.
