Optic coherence tomography (OCT) is one of the most rapid developing technologies in ophthalmology. OCT angiography (OCTA) has been made possible by the development of even faster scanning and sampling techniques, which is the next milestone after stratus OCT and spectral domain OCT. Without the need of injection of the contrast agent, OCTA is capable of providing a three-dimensional reconstruction of the perfused microvasculature within the retina and choroid by detecting the motion of scattering particles such as erythrocytes within sequential OCT cross-sectional scans performed repeatedly at the same location of the eye with different analysis algorithms. Comparing to fundus fluorescein angiography and indocyanine green angiography, with improved OCT technology and understanding, OCTA has showed certain advantages to diagnose retinal and choroidal diseases, especially macular vascular diseases. It is important to establish the contributions that OCTA can make to diagnosing, managing and understanding of ocular fundus diseases.

Objective To investigate the therapy effect of deanxit combined with large dose of oryzanol in the treatment of post stroke depression(PSD) and anxiety in elderly male.Methods Sixty cases of PSD and anxiety patients were divided into three groups by random number table method with 20 cases in each,deanxit group treated with deanxit,oryzanol group treated with oryzanol,and combination group treated with deanxit and large dose of oryzanol,a total of 4 weeks.Before and after 4 weeks treatment respectively using Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) and Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) scores.Results The HAMD and HAMA scores before treatment in three groups had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with before treatment,HAMD and HAMA scores in three groups after treatment were significantly lower (P＜ 0.01).HAMD scores in combination group were improved better than those in deanxit group and oryzanol group [(12.85 ± 3.69) scores vs.(15.30 ± 3.28),(18.65 ± 3.13) scores](P＜ 0.01),and deanxit group were better than oryzanol group(P＜ 0.01).HAMA scores in deanxit group and combination group were lower than those in oryzanol group [(8.65 ± 3.33),(7.25 ± 3.34) scores vs.(10.65 ± 3.18) scores] (P ＜0.01).Conclusion Deanxit combined with oryzanol is effective in the treatment of PSD and anxiety in elderly male.

Objective To investigate the dosage, efficacy and safety of intravitreal injection of plasmin in producing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), and the possible role of plasmin in degrading adhesion glycoproteins of inner limiting membrane (ILM). Methods Twenty eyes of young human cadavers within 24 hours after death were divided into 4 groups that received 0 1 ml balanced salt solution (group 1) as control, 1 (group 2), 2 (group 3), or 3 (group 4) U of human plasmin. Optical and transmission electron microcopies were performed to examine the ultrastructure of the vitreoretinal interface. Electron immunocytochemical techniques were carried out on ILM to estimate the content of fibronectin (FN) and laminin (LN). Flow cytometry was used for cell viability analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test was employed for statistical analysis. Results Microscopy demonstrated that plasmin especially in group 4 cleaved the attachment of the vitreous collagen fibrils to the ILM with no evident damage to the inner retina. The content of LN, FN in ILM decreased with injection of plasmin (group 3 and 4 had statistical significance from control group for FN, P

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between preoperative nystagmus and visual outcome of congenital cataract surgery. Methods: Retrospective review of 81 patients (84 eyes) who underwent surgery for cataract was conducted,in which 7 cases of unilateral cataract and 3 of bilateral cataract were associated with preoperative nystagmus. All patients lacked other structural ocular defects or neurologic abnormalities and were old enough to cooperate with recognition visual acuity testing. Outcome parameters studied were best-corrected postoperative visual acuity of the eyes. Results: Best corrected postoperative visual acuity of the nystagmus eyes was 0.05 or worse in 3(23%,3/13), between 0.05 and 0.3 in 9(69%,9/13),and 0.3 or better in 1(8%,1/13).Best corrected visual acuity of the eyes without nystagmus was 0.05 or worse in 6(8%),between 0.05 and 0.3 in 24(34%),and 0.3 or better in 41 ((58%).) There was a statistical significance of preoperative visual acuity compared to postoperative visual acuity in cataract with(P=0.04) or without nystagmus. The great statistical significance was shown in the improvement of visual acuity between the patients with nystagmus and without nystagmus. Conclusion: Preoperative nystagmus in children with cataract does not preclude visual improvement, but may predict a poorer visual acuity outcome after cataract surgery. In these patients a decision must be made as to whether or not surgical intervention for the cataract would be worthwhile at this stage.

Objective To investigate the variation of the oxidative stress status in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)and significance.Methods Eighty -nine patients hospitalized in our department from September 2012 to April 2014 were divided into three groups: T2DM control (group DM), T2DM with coronary artery disease(group DM-CAD) and T2DM with acute coronary syndrome (group DM-ACS).Blood glucose,HbA1C,Lipids,serum Malondialdehyde (MDA) level, su-peroxide dismutase(SOD) activity, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity and total anti-oxidation capacity(T-AOC) were deter-mined.Results Blood glucose、HbA1C and Lipids were similar in three groups ( P >0.05).Compared to group DM and group DM-CAD, serum MDA levels in group DM-ACS were significantly higher( P <0.05), while SOD、GSH-Px activities and T-AOC were sig-nificantly lower than those in group DM and group DM -CAD( P <0.05).Conclusions The oxidative stress level being significantly increased in T2DM patients with ACS.

Background Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is the primary pathogenic cause of many fundus diseases.Oxidative stress injury of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells plays important role in angiogenesis of choroid new blood vessels.Oxidative stress injury can active p75NTR receptor, a member of tumor necrosis factors family,resulting in the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.However, the mechanisms of vascular endothelial cell proliferation remain unclear.Objective This study was conducted to investigate the effect of p75NTR overexpression on CNV and the relative mechanism.Methods The ARPE-19 cell line was used in this study.RPE cells were transfected with p75NTR receptor overexpressed plasmid, and untransfected cells served as the control group.The transfected results were verified by reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot assay.Viability of the cells over time was determined in the p75NTR receptor plasmid transfected group by using BrdU assay.The percentage of apoptotic cells was detected by flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC/PI fluorescence staining.The percentage of reactive oxygen species (ROS) expression in the cells was detected by using H2 DCFDA fluorescence and flow cytometry.Mitochondrial membrane potential and cytochrome C expression were examined under the confocal microscope.The protein expressions of cleaved caspase-3, Fas and VEGF were determined by Western blot assay.Results The relative expression level of p75 NTR receptor mRNA was (6.11 ±0.77) times higher than that of the control group, and relative expression level of p75NTR receptor protein in the cells in the p75NTR receptor plasmid transfected group was (7.42±0.48) times higher than that in the control group (t=11.49 and 23.17 ,both at P＜0.01).The absorbency values of the p75NTR receptor plasmid transfected group were (93.12±0.56) ％ , (86.30±0.66) ％ , (72.53-±0.86) ％ and (60.77 ±2.81) ％ in 12,24,36 and 48 hours after plasmid transfection, which were significantly lower than 100％ in the control group, and the apoptotic percentages were evidently higher than that in the control group (all at P＜0.05).The relative fluorescence intensity of ROS fluorescence in the p75NTR receptor plasmid transfected group was 2.4 times higher than that in the control group,showing significant difference (t=16.45, P＜0.01).The positive expressing rate of mitomarker (mitochondrial membrane potentials) was 100％ in the control group and (37.30± 2.06)％ in the p75NTR receptor plasmid transfected group, with significant difference between them (t =57.71,P＜0.01).The fluorescence intensity of cytochrome C expression was elevated in the p75NTR receptor plasmid transfected group compared with the control group.Compared with the control group,the expressing levels of cleaved caspase-3 ,Fas and VEGF165 proteins in the cells were significantly raised in the p75NTR receptor plasmid transfected group (all at P＜0.01).Conclusions Overexpression of p75NTR receptors in RPE cells leads to mitochondrial damage and cellular apoptosis and the secretion of VEGF protein, which sequentially promote CNV.P75NTR receptor may be another important regulation pathway in RPE oxygen damage.

Background Using tablet computer at a short distance is one of the risk factors resulting to pathogenesis and progression of myopia.Studying the effect of such device on accommodative system of human eyes can provide further insights into myopia control.Objective This study was to explore the influences of playing iPAD game for a short duration on accommodative response,accommodative microfluctuation and pupil diameter in adolescent myopia patients.Methods Sixty adolescent myopic patients were included in Peking University People 's Hospital from August 2014 to April 2015,with the mean age (11.6±2.6) years and mean spherical equivalent refraction (SER) (-2.38±1.08)D.The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups according to different playing duration of iPAD game,including 3-minute group,5-minute group and 10-minute group.An open-field infrared refractometer was used to record pupil diameter and accommodation-associated data before and after playing iPAD game.Accommodative response was defined as the difference between the recorded value and theoretical accommodative response,and root mean square (RMS) was used to describe the amplitude of accommodative microfluctuation.One-dimension discrete Fourier transformation was used to analyze spectral characteristic of accommodative response curve.Paired t tests were used to compare these accommodative parameters before and after playing game,while Wilcoxon signed-rank tests were applied for analyzing high frequency component of accommodative microfluctuation.This research conforms to the declaration of Helsinki,and was approved by Peking University People's Hospital Ethics Committee,all the subjects and their guardian signed informed consent.Results The accommodative response values before and after playing iPAD game in 10-minute group were (0.81 ±0.29)D and (0.74 ± 0.27) D,respectively,with significant difference between them (t =2.263,P =0.036),and no significant differences were found in the accommodative response values before and after playing iPAD game in the 3-minute group and 5-minute group (both at P＞0.05).The RMS after playing iPAD game was (0.31 ±0.08) D in the 10-minute group,which was significantly higher than (0.27 ± 0.09) D before playing iPAD game (t =-2.259,P =0.036).The high-frequency spectral power of accommodative response curves in all the three groups were increased after playing iPAD game in comparison with before playing iPAD game,with significant differences in the 5-minute group and 10-minute group (Z =-2.213,-2.016;both at P ＜ 0.05),and the pupil diameters were significantly decreased after playing iPAD game in comparison with before playing iPAD game,with significant differences in the 5-minute group and 10-minute group (t =2.428,P =0.026;t =2.515,P =0.021).Conclusions Short-term exposure to iPAD does not deteriorate accommodative lag in adolescent myopic patients.However,the increase of amplitude and high-frequency spectral power of accommodative microfluctuation,together with accommodation lag will result in blurred images and may bring adverse effects on myopic eyes.

Objective To observe the regulation of Fengxiaofang on the expression of gene Gob-5 in ovalbumin-challenged asthmatic mice. Methods The murine model of allergic asthma established by ovaibumin was used. The model mice were treated experimentally with Fengxiaofang and Dexamethasone as a positive control. The quantitive expression of gene Gob-5 in lung of mice was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Results The expression of gene Gob-5 in lung of mice was down-regulated by Fengxiaofang. In the experiment, there were no significant differences between the one-fold or ten-fold dosage groups and the normal control group. Gene Gob-5 expression in five-fold dosage was significantly lower than that in the normal control group. Conclusion Fengxiaofang has the effect of lowering the expression of gene Gob-5 which maybe related to the potency on asthmatic disease.
