AIM: To observe the outcome of intravitreal balanced salt solution(BSS)injection to increase intraocular pressure(IOP)after extrascleral subretinal fluid drainage, then scleral buckling(SB)to treat superior bullous retinal detachment(SBRD), and compare it with the effect of conventional surgery(without any intravitreal filling)and postoperative air filling.METHODS: Retrospective case-control study. A total of 72 patients(73 eyes)who underwent SB for SBRD from January 2018 to December 2022 in ophthalmology department of Xijing Hospital were included. The extrascleral subretinal fluid drainage was performed in all eyes. According to whether intravitreal injection was performed and different injections, patients were divided into three groups: with 24 cases(24 eyes)in the conventional group(no intravitreal injection), 23 cases(23 eyes)in the air group(sterile air was injected after surgery), and 25 cases(26 eyes)in the BSS group(BSS was injected during extrascleral subretinal fluid drainage). All patients were followed up until subretinal fluid was absorbed completely. The average surgery time, postoperative IOP, retinal reattachment rate, subretinal fluid absorption, visual acuity(LogMAR)and major complications were compared.RESULTS: All surgeries were completed successfully. The average surgery time of the conventional group, air group and BSS group were 63.17±13.22, 61.65±15.55 and 57.30±11.70 min, respectively. There had no significant difference among these groups(F=0.825, P=0.443). On the first post-operative day, the average IOP of the conventional group, air group and BSS group were 13.69±2.69, 16.40±2.86 and 18.35±2.88 mmHg, respectively. The average IOP of the air group and the BSS group were significant higher than that of the conventional group(F=17.18, P<0.001). Primary reattachment rates were 88%, 96%, and 100%, respectively. The postoperative BCVA was 0.71±0.42, 0.59±0.44, and 0.91±0.50, respectively, which were significantly higher than those before operation(all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference among groups(F=3.046, P>0.05). The main complications included subretinal hemorrhage in 1 eye from the conventional group and 1 eye from the air group, and a new retinal tear in 1 eye from the air group, resulting in localized retinal detachment.CONCLUSIONS: For SBRD patients with hypotony during SB surgery, intravitreal injection of BSS to properly increase the IOP and then complete the surgery can improve the reattachment rate and reduce postoperative complications. This method is safe and effective for selected SBRD patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd) in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients with different expression levels of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) and the influencing factors of prognosis.Methods:The retrospective case series analysis and cohort study were conducted. Clinical data of 20 MBC patients with different expression levels of HER2 treated with T-DXd at Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were retrospectively collected to analyze the efficacy and safety of T-DXd. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for multivariate analysis of prognostic factors.Results:All 20 patients were female, with a median age [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of 49 years old (40 years old, 58 years old). Of the 20 cases, 12 had low expression of HER2 [immunohistochemistry HER2+, or immunohistochemistry ++ and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH)-negative], and 8 had overexpression of HER2 (immunohistochemistry HER2+++, or immunohistochemistry ++ and FISH-positive); median number of lines of treatment with T-DXd was 6 lines (3 lines, 7 lines); 14 patients had partial remission, 3 patients had stable disease, and 3 patients had disease progression, with an objective remission rate (ORR) of 70% (14/20) and a disease control rate of 85% (17/20). Eight patients with overexpression of HER2 had objective remission in 6 cases, and 12 patients with low expression of HER2 had objective remission in 8 cases, and the ORR difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( P = 1.000). The main adverse reactions of the patients were nausea (14 cases), vomiting (12 cases), leukopenia (10 cases), elevated aspartate aminotransferase (10 cases), elevated alanine aminotransferase (9 cases), anemia (8 cases), fatigue (8 cases), alopecia (8 cases), neutropenia (6 cases), and thrombocytopenia (5 cases); ≥ grade 3 adverse reactions were bone marrow suppression and gastrointestinal reactions, all with an incidence of ≤10%. The median follow-up time was 7.1 months (1.9 months, 11.5 months). The median progression-free survival (PFS) time was 6.5 months (95% CI: 3.9-9.1 months), and the median PFS time of patients with overexpression of HER2 was longer than that of patients with low expression of HER2 [7.0 months (95% CI: 6.4- 7.6 months) vs. 4.0 months (95% CI: 1.7-6.3 months)], and the difference in PFS between the two groups was statistically significant ( P = 0.025). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that overexpression of HER2 was an independent protective factor for PFS in MBC patients treated with T-DXd ( HR = 0.265, 95% CI: 0.075-0.945, P = 0.041). Conclusions:MBC patients with overexpression or low expression of HER2 have a good therapeutic effect and safety profile when treated with T-DXd. The overexpression of HER2 may predict good PFS in MBC patients treated with T-DXd, and may serve as a biomarker for predicting PFS in such patients, but it may not affect the ORR.
