AIM: To explore the clinical efficacy of 25G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with 41G ultra-micro subretinal injection of tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA)in the treatment of subretinal hemorrhage(SMH).METHODS: Retrospective study. A totally 60 patients(60 eyes)who visited the Ophthalmology Department of Yuebei People's Hospital from June 2022 to September 2024 and were diagnosed with submacular hemorrhage were selected. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into a control group of 30 eyes(25G vitrectomy combined with intravitreal injection of t-PA)and an observation group of 30 eyes(25G vitrectomy combined with 41G subretinal injection of t-PA). The complete clearance rate of macular hemorrhage, best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), changes in intraocular pressure, central retinal thickness(CRT), the occurrence of postoperative complications were observed in the two groups of patients.RESULTS:The two groups of general data are comparable. After treatment for 7 d, the rate of complete clearance of macular hemorrhage was higher in the observation group than in the control group(100% vs 80%, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of BCVA at 1 d and 6 mo postoperatively(all P>0.05), and in the comparison of BCVA between the two groups at 7 d, 1, and 3 mo postoperatively, BCVA of the observation group was better than that of the control group(all P<0.05); and the intraocular pressure of the observation group was lower than that of the control group at 1 d, 7 d, and 1 mo postoperatively(all P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of intraocular pressure at 3 and 6 mo postoperatively(all P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the comparison of CRT at 1 d and 6 mo postoperatively(all P>0.05), and CRT was lower than that of the control group at 7 d, 1 and 3 mo postoperatively(all P<0.05). The total incidence of complications in the observation group was not statistically different from that in the control group(0 vs 10%, P>0.05).CONCLUSION: The 25G minimally invasive vitrectomy combined with 41G ultra-microsubretinal injection of t-PA is more efficient in removing subretinal hemorrhage, promotes early anatomical restoration, and has a comparable long-term visual prognosis to the conventional method, with a favorable safety profile.

To investigate the expression and clinical significance of GATA-3 and H3K27me3 in Tibetan patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC). BUC and normal bladder tissues were collected retrospectively from January 2016 to December 2021 in the People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region. The expression of GATA-3 and H3K27me3 in both tissues was detected by immunohistochemical method, and the clinical and pathological characteristics were statistically analyzed. A total of 70 patients with BUC were selected, including 51 males and 19 females, with an average age of (60.5±12.0) years. At the same time, 20 normal bladder tissue samples were collected during the same period. All cases were Tibetan patients. Immunohistochemistry results showed that the high expression rate of GATA-3 in BUC and normal bladder tissue was 70.0%(49/70) and 100%(20/20), respectively. High expression of GATA-3 was associated with male, low pathological grade, and non-invasive tissue(all The expression of GATA-3 was down regulated in Tibetan BUC patients, and significantly down regulated with the increase of tumor grade, suggesting that GATA-3 may be involved in the occurrence and development of BUC and related to its malignancy, providing reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment as well as judging disease prognosis. The expression of H3K27me3 in Tibetan BUC patients was higher than that in normal bladder tissue, suggesting that H3K27me3 may be a new immune marker for diagnosis of BUC.
