Objective:To observe the changes of central visual acuity and extracentral visual acuity in eyes with non-arteritic central retinal artery occlusion (NA-CRAO).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2024, 140 patients (140 eyes) diagnosed with NA-CRAO through ophthalmic examination at Department of Ophthalmology of First People's Hospital of Xianyang City were included in the study. All affected eyes underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), visual field, intraocular pressure, fundus color photography, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and fluorescein angiography (FFA) examinations. After a clear diagnosis, conservative treatment such as reducing intraocular pressure, relieving spasms, and dilating blood vessels should be given immediately. Simultaneously, intravenous and/or arterial thrombolysis therapy should be administered based on the patient's overall condition. Under the same treatment conditions as other treatments, 33 eyes were treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy within 24 hours after seeking medical attention. The changes in central visual acuity (BCVA) and peripheral visual acuity of the affected eye one month after treatment were observed. BCVA improvement of ≥ 1 line was defined as the increase of no light sensitivity to light sensitivity or above, and the increase of light sensitivity to 0.01 or above. The visual acuity outside the center was determined by the 0 ° axis in front of the eyeball at eye level, and was 10 ° outside visual acuity on the temporal side. Multivariate analysis using logistic regression analysis.Results:Among the 140 cases (140 eyes), there were 84 males (84 eyes) and 56 females (56 eyes). The mean age was (63.89±10.78) years. The duration of illness from the onset of symptoms to the time of diagnosis was 48 (2-720) hours. 6, 1, 14, 47, 41, 16, and 15 eyes were diagnosed with BCVA without light perception, uncertain light perception, manual/anterior, digital/anterior, 0.01-0.10, and ≥ 0.10, respectively. FFA examination revealed delayed arm retinal circulation time and filling of the retinal artery trunk to the peak, with changes in the "arterial front" observed in 126 eyes. OCT examination showed extensive edema and unclear structure in the inner layer of the retina in all patients. Out of 140 eyes, 122 were treated with intravenous thrombolysis and 4 with arterial thrombolysis; 14 eyes did not receive thrombolytic therapy. After treatment, 38 eyes (27.1 %) showed an improvement of BCVA ≥ 1; 67 eyes (47.9%) did not show an improvement in BCVA, and the affected eye had a BCVA of approximately 0.6 without light perception; 17 eyes (12.1 %) showed improvement in peripheral vision, and the peripheral vision of the affected eyes ranged from 0.01 to 0.1, all of whom were patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis, and prior to treatment, this group of patients had complete blindness in the coarse side visual field of the Amsler grid, and their out of center visual acuity could not be measured. Among the 33 eyes treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 24 eyes (72.7%) showed an increase in BCVA after treatment; 9 eyes did not improve, among which 4 eyes (12.1%) showed improvement in out of center visual acuity. Among the 107 eyes that did not receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy, 49 eyes (45.8%) showed an increase in BCVA after treatment. There was no improvement in 58 eyes (54.2%), among which 13 eyes (12.1%) showed an improvement in out of center visual acuity. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that intravenous thrombolysis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy were independent predictive factors for the improvement of central and extra central visual acuity ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Hyperbaric oxygen therapy within 24 hours of seeking medical attention for patients with NA-CRAO disease course ≤ 1 month has a significant effect on the recovery of central and extra central vision. Intravenous thrombolysis and hyperbaric oxygen therapy are independent predictive factors for the improvement of central and extra central vision.

Objective:To observe the clinical and imaging features of patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) complicated with retinal artery occlusion (RAO).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. Fifteen patients with 15 eyes with RVO combined with RAO and macular edema diagnosed by ophthalmology examination in the Department of Ophthalmology, First People's Hospital of Xianyang City during 2 years from February 1, 2022 to January 31, 2024 were included in the study. Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) combined with branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) occurred in 3 cases and 3 eyes. Central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) complicated with central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) in 12 eyes. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure, scanning laser ophthalmoscope, optical coherence tomography (OCT), fluorescein fundus angiography (FFA) and serum homocysteine were all performed. OCT angiography (OCTA) was performed in 6 eyes. All eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor drugs. After the initial 1 treatment, dosage was assessed as needed. Follow-up was performed every month for 12 months after treatment. FFA inspection was performed at 3 months. During follow-up, it was found that there were no perfusion areas of capillaries, and retinal laser photocoagulation therapy was given in time. Fundus manifestations, FFA, OCT, OCTA characteristics and causes of disease were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There were 15 eyes in 15 cases, 9 eyes in 9 males; 6 women with 6 eyes. Age was (61.0±9.7) years. All complained of painless vision loss in one eye. All eyes were positive for relative afferent pupillary disorder. Contralateral congenital optic disc defect was in 1 case; hypertension was in 6 cases; hyperhomocysteinemia was in 2 cases; cerebral infarction was in 3 cases; coronary heart disease was in 1 case. CRVO combined with CRAO was in 12 eyes BCVA light sensitivity-0.25. The BCVA of BRVO combined with BRAO were 0.1, 0.4 and 0.25, respectively. All the patients had retinal edema in the posterior pole of the eye, venous sinuous, dilated, thin arteries and stiff shape. The retina presents with flaky or flame-like bleeding. Posterior polar retinal lint patch was in 13 eyes. In 12 eyes with CRVO combined with CRAO, optic disc edema was observed and the boundary was not clear. In 3 eyes with BRVO combined with BRAO, no obvious abnormality was found in the optic disc, and the boundary was clear. FFA examination showed no or prolonged arterial filling, delayed retinal vein laminar flow, relatively slow or even no capillary filling, macular arteriole atretosis to varying degrees, arch ring structure destruction, optic disc telangiectasia and fluorescein leakage. OCT examination showed that the middle and inner layers of the retina were thickened to varying degrees, the diffuse reflex was enhanced, the interlayer structure was unclear, and the reflex of the lower retinal tissue was weakened. The blood flow density of superficial capillary plexus and deep capillary plexus (DCP) decreased in 6 eyes undergoing OCTA examination. Decreased or interrupted blood flow in the vascular bed of DCP. During the follow-up period, there were 13 eyes with no perfusion area of retinal capillary. The time of occurrence was (1.14±0.95) (0-2) months, and the area was 10-75 disc area. Optic nerve atrophy occurred in 5 eyes. At the last follow-up, visual acuity increased, unchanged and decreased in 12, 2 and 1 eyes, respectively.Conclusions:The pathogenesis of RVO-RAO is complicated. Most RVO and RAO occurred simultaneously, and a few RVO occurred several days after RAO. Although the RAO manifestations are not typical, the radiographic features are both RVO and RAO. Compared with BVRO combined with BRAO, the prognosis of visual acuity in CRAO patients with CRVO is worse.

Angiogenic factor with G and FHA domain 1 (AGGF1) is an identified angiogenic factor in recent years,which is highly expressed in vascular endothelial cells and exhibits the same function as vascular endothelial growth factor,and can promote angiogenesis.Recently,it has been found that AGGF1 is highly expressed in various tumors such as liver cancer,leukemia,glioma and gastric cancer.Based on its participation in the regulation of tumor angiogenesis,DNA repair and autophagy,tumors with high expression of AGGF1 are prone to drug resistance and metastasis,and the survival and prognosis of patients are worse.Deep understanding of the roles of AGGF1 in tumor angiogenesis and its specific molecular mechanisms will provide new strategies for anti-tumor angiogenesis therapy in the future.
