Objective To compare the differences between swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography(SS-OCTA)and ultra-wide-field fluorescein angiography(UWFA)in detecting non-perfusion areas(NPs)in patients with diabetic retinopathy(DR),to evaluate the accuracy of SS-OCTA in predicting NPs outside its visible range,and to explore the distribution patterns of NPs.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 69 DR patients(88 eyes)who under-went both UWFA and SS-OCTA examinations at the Ophthalmology Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital from December 2022 to September 2024.Manual NP labeling was conducted to compare the detection rate of NPs between the two imaging techniques.The distribution patterns of NPs and the accuracy of SS-OCTA for predicting NPs outside its visible range were also analyzed.Results In a scanning area of 20 mm x 24 mm,the overall NP detection rate by SS-OCTA was 47.40％,with UWFA taken as the standard.The NP detection rate by SS-OCTA was 51.56％in the superotemporal quad-rant,58.35％in the inferotemporal quadrant,45.50％in the superonasal quadrant,and 43.17％in the inferonasal quad-rant.Most NPs occurred in the inferonasal quadrant,accounting for 41.71％of the total NP.The accuracy of SS-OCTA in predicting NPs was 75.00％in the superonasal quadrant and 78.41％in the inferonasal quadrant.The ischemic indices(ISI)of the two imaging techniques were highly positively correlated(r2=0.74).Conclusion Although SS-OCTA can-not yet fully replace UWFA for NP detection in DR patients due to a small visible range,it is still an effective tool to assess retinal ischemia.SS-OCTA has the ability to predict NPs outside its visible range in its scanning range.The inferonasal quadrant is the region where NPs occur most frequently in DR patients,so it is suggested that special attention should be paid to this region in early diagnosis and follow-up periods.

Objective To quantify the intraretinal fluid(IRF)volume in patients with diabetic macular edema(DME)using a deep learning-based three-dimensional segmentation model and to investigate the relationship of IRF volume with visual function and retinal biomarkers based on optical coherence tomography(OCT).Methods A total of 37 pa-tients(42 eyes)with DME who received treatment in the Ophthalmology Department of Sichuan Provincial People's Hospi-tal from July 2022 to September 2024 were prospectively included in this study.A three-dimensional segmentation model was used to automatically quantify the IRF volume within a 6 mm × 6 mm OCT scan at baseline and at the last follow-up.The correlation of visual acuity with IRF volume,central subfield thickness(CST),disorganization of the retinal inner lay-ers(DRIL),hyperreflective foci(HRF),external limiting membrane(ELM),ellipsoid zone(EZ),and vitreomacular in-terface abnormality(VMIA)was analyzed at baseline and the last follow-up.Additionally,the correlation of IRF volume with CST,DRIL,HRF,ELM,EZ,and VMIA was analyzed at both time points.Furthermore,the correlation of the visual acuity at the last follow-up with the IRF volume,CST,DRIL,HRF,ELM,EZ,and VMIA at baseline was analyzed.Results Compared with the baseline value,patients exhibited a significant increase in the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)(logMAR),a significant decrease in the IRF volume and CST,a significant reduction in the HRF,a significant re-covery in the DRIL,ELM,and EZ(all P＜0.05),and no significant changes in the VMIA(P=1.000)at the last follow-up.At baseline,the BCVA was negatively correlated with the IRF volume,CST,DRIL,and HRF,but positively correlated with the ELM and EZ(all P＜0.05);there was no correlation between the BCVA and VMIA(P=0.069).At the last follow-up,the BCVA was negatively correlated with the DRIL,HRF,and VMIA,but positively correlated with the ELM and EZ(all P＜0.01);the BCVA did not correlate with the IRF volume and CST(P=0.419 and 0.994).At baseline,the IRF volume was positively correlated with the CST(P＜0.001)but negatively correlated with the ELM and EZ(P＜0.01);the IRF vol-ume did not correlate with the DRIL,HRF,and VMIA(all P＞0.05).At the last follow-up,the IRF volume was positively correlated with the CST and HRF(all P＜0.01);however,it was not correlated with the DRIL,ELM,EZ,and VMIA(all P＞0.05).The BCVA at the last follow-up was positively correlated with the BCVA,ELM,and EZ at baseline,but negative-ly correlated with the IRF volume,CST,DRIL,HRF,and VMIA at baseline(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The baseline IRF volume in DME patients is an important influencing factor of visual acuity at baseline and the last follow-up.Hence,the IRF volume may serve as a potential biomarker in the management of DME.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between the high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and anxiety levels in patients hospitalized with cardiovascular-related diseases and hypertension.Methods:A total of 221 patients hospitalized with cardiovascular-related diseases in the Fuwai Hospital were selected by a voluntary sampling method from September to December 2021. Participants were divided into hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups ( n=119 and n=102) based on the diagnosis of hypertension in their inpatient medical records. Anxiety levels were assessed using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, and the levels of serum hs-CRP were estimated by automatic immunoanalyzer. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between hs-CRP and anxiety. Results:In the hypertensive group, the risk of anxiety in patients with abnormal hs-CRP (>3 mg/L) was 4.239 times (95% CI: 1.569-11.748, P=0.005) higher than those in normal hs-CRP (≤3 mg/L). In turn, compared with patients without anxiety, those with anxiety had 3.878 times greater probability of experiencing abnormal hs-CRP (95% CI: 1.495-10.062, P=0.005), while those with mild anxiety and moderate to severe anxiety had 4.525 times (95% CI: 1.392-14.714, P=0.012) and 3.286 times (95% CI: 0.911-11.357, P=0.070) greater odds of experiencing abnormal hs-CRP, respectively. No similar significant association was seen in the non-hypertensive group. Conclusion:There is an interrelationship between elevated hs-CRP and anxiety in hospitalized patients with cardiovascular-related diseases and hypertension.
