Objective:To observe the hemodynamic changes in the retina and choroid after scleral buckling surgery in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Methods:A prospective clinical observational study. A total of 25 eyes of 25 patients with RRD who underwent scleral buckling surgery in Tianjin Eye Hospital from February to April 2024 were included in the study. Among them, 10 were male and 15 were female. Age was 17-68 years old. All cases were monocular. The surgical eye and the contralateral healthy eye were divided into the affected eye group and the contralateral healthy eye group respectively. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), scanning source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA), and axial length (AL) measurements were performed 3 months after surgery. SS-OCTA examination of macular area was performed by VG200 of Visual Microimaging (Henan) Technology Co., LTD. Scanning range 21 mm×26 mm. According to the partitioning method of the early treatment group of glycosuria retinopathy, the retina within 21 mm of the macular fovea was divided into concentric circles with the macular fovea as the center and diameters of 1-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-21 mm, respectively. The built-in software of the device was used to record the central area (12 mm×12 mm in the fovea of the macula) and the peripheral area (12-21 mm range) retinal superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) blood density and choroidal vascular index (CVI), choroidal vascular volume (CVV), and 1-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-21 mm above concentric circles (S), nasal side (N), temporal side (T), and lower side (I) SCP, DCP, and RPC blood flow density. Quantitative data between the two groups were compared by independent sample t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. The correlation between retinal and choroid blood flow parameters and postoperative BCVA was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Results:Compared with the opposite healthy eye group, SCP blood density in the central area ( Z=-4.372), DCP blood density in the central area ( Z=-2.829), and CVI in the peripheral area ( Z=-2.138) were decreased in the affected eye group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). SCP: in the affected eye group, the blood flow density in T 3-6 mm, T 6-12 mm, N 6-12 mm and T 12-21 mm regions decreased, while the blood flow density in I 6-12 mm regions increased, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). DCP: blood flow density in S 6-12 mm, I 6-12 mm, S 12-21 mm and I 12-21 mm regions decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). RPC: blood flow density decreased significantly in T 6-12 mm and I 12-21 mm, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). CVI: T 6-12 mm, S 12-21 mm, T 12-21 mm, I 12-21 mm significantly decreased, and T 1-3 mm, S 12-21 mm significantly increased, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that AL growth was positively correlated with CVV in central region ( r=0.408, P=0.040). The number of pad pressure was negatively correlated with the blood density of central DCP ( r=-0.422, P=0.030). Conclusions:After scleral buckling operation, the blood flow density and choroidal blood flow parameters in RRD affected eyes are lower than those in contralateral healthy eyes in some areas. The increase of AL is positively correlated with CVV in the central region, and the wider the range of pad pressure, the worse the recovery of DCP blood density.

Objective To investigate the value of clinical characteristics in diagnosis of vocal fold paralysis (VFP) and arytenoid dislocation .Methods Eighty - eight patients of VFP and 27 patients of arytenoid dislocation were studied , by comparing the causes , laryngeal morphologic characteristics and laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) .Results The causes of 88 VFP patients included surgery (45 cases) ,neck trauma(2 cases) ,idiopathic causes(16 cases) ,infection(16 cases) ,and tumor invasion - related(9 cases) .Of the 27 arytenoid dislocation pa‐tients ,24 had a history of endotracheal intubation and the others had a history of gastric tube insertion .The vocal folds were mostly fixed at the paramedian position ,followed by the abducent position and the median position .No significant differences were found in laryngeal morphologic characteristics between the two groups ,including vocal fold shape , glottis vertical symmetry , mucosal waves , supraglottic compensation , glottis closure and arytenoid movement .The LEMG of VFP patients appeared as denervation patterns ,reinnervation potentials ,or electrical si‐lence ;the recruitment patterns appeared as mix or simple patterns ;the evoked potentials were absent .Of the VFP patients ,54 cases(61 .36% % )were found synkinesis of involved posterior cricoarytenoid and two of them also in ‐volved thyroatenoid .The patients with synkinesis had lower percentage of vocal fold bowing and higher percentage of glottic vertical asymmetry compared to the ones without synkinesis .Of the VFP patients whose cause was surgery or neck trauma ,the median - position fixed vocal folds were mostly observed in the patients with duration of less than 1 month or with synkinesis .Of the 27 arytenoid dislocation patients ,20(74 .07% )showed normal LEMG pat‐terns and 7(25 .93% )showed apparent LEMG abnormality on the affected side .Conclusion The causes of vocal fold paralysis and arytenoid dislocation are different .Laryngeal morphologic characteristics have limitations in distinguis‐hing vocal fold paralysis from arytenoid dislocation .The shape and position of involved vocal folds of the VFP pa‐tients are correlated with duration ,nerve regeneration and synkinesis .
