AIM:To observe the expression of tumor necrosis factor- alpha(TNF-α)and its receptor I(P55)in different pterygium and discuss the role of TNF-α and receptor I(P55)in pterygium.METHODS: Immunohistochemistical staining method(PV)was adopted to detect the expression of TNF-α and receptor I in pterygium(72 eyes)and para-pterygium conjunctival tissue(30 eyes). The relationship between the expression and clinical-pathological parameters was also analyzed. RESULTS: The positive rates of TNF-α were 65.3%(47/72), 26.7%(8/30)in pterygium and para-pterygium conjunctival tissue. The positive expression of TNF-α had statistic difference between the two groups(χ2=12.706, P<0.01). The positive rates of TNF-α receptor I were 56.9%(41/72), 16.7%(5/30)in pterygium and para-pterygium conjunctival tissue. The positive expression of P55 had statistic difference between the two groups(χ2=13.875, P<0.01). The positive rate of TNF-α in recurrent pterygium group was higher than primary pterygium group(χ2=6.547, P=0.011). There had no statistically significance of the expression intensity between the two groups(F=1.288, P=0.393); the positive rate in advanced pterygium group was higher than quiescent pterygium group(χ2=4.082, P=0.043). The expression intensity had no statistically significance between the two groups(F=0.489, P=0.708). The positive rate of P55 in recurrent pterygium group was higher than primary pterygium group(χ2=9.907, P=0.002). There had no statistically significance of the two group's expression intensity(F=1.175, P=0.424); the positive rate in advanced pterygium group was higher than in quiescent pterygium group(χ2=11.140, P=0.001). The expression intensity had no statistically significance between the two groups(F=0.665, P=0.621). CONCLUSION:The expression of TNF-α and P55 are changing according to the development of clinical staging and onset. The expression of TNF-α and P55 may be related to clinical classification, staging and patient's working conditions of pterygium. There has no significant difference expression intensity of TNF-α and P55 in clinical staging and onset of pterygium.

AIM:To understand the relation between the penetrating keratoplasty rejection and the methods of cornea preservation. METHODS: The 30 Wistar rats as donator and 60 SD rats as receptor were used to establish the animal models of penetrating keratoplasty rejection. And 60 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. Donor cornea of Wistar rats preserved in different methods were used separately in 3 groups. The penetrating keratoplasty rejection index(RI), means survival time(MST)of corneal grafts and pathological changes in post-operation were analyzed. RESULTS: The MST was(10.4±1.70)d in moist-chamber-preserved group(Ⅰ),(12.9±1.81)d in medium-term-preserved group(Ⅱ)and(16.1±2.57)d in cryopreserved group(Ⅲ). The MST in the cryopreserved group was evidently prolonged, showing a significant correlation compared with other two groups(P<0.01). The sections with HE staining revealed that the severity of inflammation in Ⅲ group was reduced compared with that of Ⅰ,Ⅱ group after 10d of keratoplasty. CONCLUSION: The postoperative rejection of penetrating keratoplasty in rats is decreased and rejection time is delayed in cryopreserved cornea.

AIM: To observe the pathological changes of the lower segment of nasolacrimal duct mucosa in rabbits at different stages after retrograde lachrymal dilated drainage tube implantation. METHODS: Totally 14 New Zealand rabbits were used in the present study. One side of nasolacrimal duct was obstructed to produce an experimental model and operated the reverse implantation of nasolacrimal duct intubation. Histological changes of the lower segment of nasolacrimal duct mucosa were observed by routine light microscope at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14wk after the operation. RESULTS: Compared with the control side, the group of 2 and 4wk after surgery presented the inflammatory cytokine. The group of 12wk after the operation presented isolated granuloma. Group 12 and 14wk presented scattered granuloma. The size of the granulomas was smaller and the density of epithelioid cell and fibroblast were lower in group 12wk than those in group 14wk by HE and Masson trichrome stain.CONCLUSION: Recurrent Silicone Tube is used to treat nasolacrymal duct obstruction. Nasolacrimal duct can be narrowed and blocked again by granuloma, progressive fibrosis and adhesion of surrounding tissues when tube is in the duct more than 12wk.

AIM: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravitreal bevacizumab(avastin)injection in patients with exudative age related macular degeneration(AMD). METHODS: The records of patients treated with intravitreal injection of 1.75mg bevacizumab for AMD were retrospectively reviewed. All patients were evaluated by complete ophthalmic examination, optical coherence tomography and fundus fluorescein and/or indocyanine green angiography. Observation was made on the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure, and the changes of lens, vitreous, central retinal thickness(CFT)and total macular volume(TMV), at 1d, 3d, 7d, 1mo and 6mo after the treatment and then compared with those of pre-operation. Repeated treatment with intravitreous bevacizumab occurred if there were signs of persistent or recurrent exudation. And all cases were followed up at least 6mo. An intravitreal injection of bevacizumab(1.75mg)was given once every 6wk.RESULTS: All 50 eyes of 48 patients with the average of 58±20.46 years old were included. The mean baseline of BCVA and CFT were 0.82±0.53, and 364.97±151.83μm respectively. Although there was no significant decrease in mean CFT and TMV one week after the injection, the mean BCVA had significant improvement. At the last visit of 9.7mo follow-up, BCVA, CRT and TMV showed significant improvements over baseline values. BCVA was improved by at least two lines in 32 eyes(64%),remained stabilization in 18 eyes(36%)at the last visit. A total of 98 injections were performed and the average number of injections was 1.98 for each eye in the group. About 50% of re-injections gained at least two lines of vision improvement one week postoperatively. There were no serious adverse events during the treatment. CONCLUSION: Intravitreal bevacizumab(avastin)injection for managing CNV due to age-related macular degeneration is safe and few side effects. Intravitreal avastin associated with improvement in visual acuity(VA), which can reduce macular edema and choroidal neovascularization leakage.But a prolonged treatment effect needs further observation.

At 6mo after treatment, best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and retinal thickness changes of two groups were compared, the changes of intraocular pressure in two groups was analyzed. RESULTS:After treatment, two groups were followed up for 6mo, compared with before treatment, the expression of BCVA in control group was reduced, and rise in the study group, with significant difference between the two groups(P<0.05), and during the follow-up period, IOP change was in the normal range for the two groups, with no the difference(P>0.05), the study group had foveal thickness reduction of 9.6μm, the control group was increased by 31.9μm, with significant difference(P<0.05), parafoveal thickness in the study group decreased 5μm, significantly increased 22.1μm in the study group, centre concave surrounding thickness increased 0.4μm in study group and 19.4μm for the control group, with no significant difference(P>0.05). CONCLUSION:TA injection in patients with diffuse DME before PRP is safe and effective, and it is superior to simple PRP therapy, and it can be applied in primary hospital.

AIM:To observe the changes of macular thickness in patients after cataract operation.METHODS: A total of 126 patients(133 eyes)were divided into two groups that were included in this study. The group(68 eyes of 64 case)with phacoemulsification combined intraocular lens implantation and(65 eyes of 62 cases)with manual small incision cataract surgery(MSICS). There was no complication before and during the surgery. Optical coherence tomography(OCT)was examined 1, 3mo before and after surgery. The visual acuity and macular thickness were compared after surgery. The SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The paired t-test was used before and after surgery. Independent-samples t test was used in two groups before and after surgery, α=0.05. RESULTS: The cataract phacoemulsification group: preoperative and 1mo after surgery, the mean macular thickness was 241.3±10.9μm and 279.7±16.5μm,with significant difference(P<0.01). The mean macular thickness was 245.6±12.6μm 3mo after surgery without statistical difference compared with preoperative(P>0.05). The mean macular thickness was 279.7±16.5μm 1mo after surgery and 245.6±12.6μm 3mo after surgery with statistical difference(P<0.05). Three eyes displayed cystoid macular edema at 1mo after surgery and 2 eyes of them was resolved 3mo after surgery. The group of MSICS: preoperative and 1mo after surgery, the mean macular thickness was 240.5±11.9μm and 280.7±16.8μm,with significant difference(P<0.01).The mean macular thickness was 246.6±13.2μm 3mo after surgery without statistical difference compared with preoperative(P>0.05). One month after surgery and 3mo after surgery, the mean macular thickness were 280.7±16.8μm and 246.6±13.2μm, with statistical difference(P<0.05). Two eyes displayed cystoid macular edema at 1mo after surgery and 2 eyes were resolved 3mo after surgery. Between the two groups pre-operation or after operation for 1, 3mo respectively P values were without statistical difference(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: The macular thickness and macular edema can be found 1mo after cataract phacoemulsification and MSICS. Three months post-operatively, macular edema disappears and does not show statistical difference compared with preoperative. The increase of macular thickness has no obvious relationship with the choice of surgery.

AIM: To observe the therapy effect of standard prescription on ametrop amblyopia in hyperopic children. METHODS: This study included 270 cases(54 eyes)with complete data, and followed up 24mo. All the amblyopic children were given standard prescription and were divided into progressive addition glass group, under corrected group and full corrected group. And all were observed for their therapy effect and the average healing time in low hyperopic, moderate hyperopic and high hyperopic children with ametropic amblyopia respectively. RESULTS: In low hyperopic children, the difference of the therapy effect of the three corrected methods were insignificant in two years. The meam cure time of the three corrected methods were(7.33±2.11)mo in progressive addition glass group;(9.0±3.71)mo in under corrected grope;(12.5±5.17)mo in full corrected group.

In moderate hyperopic chileren, the differences of the therapy effect of the three corrected methods were significant in two years(χ2=6.75; P<0.05). The difference between progressive addition glass group and under corrected grope(χ2=6.3; P<0.01)was statistically significant; the difference between progressive addition glass group and full corrected grope(χ2=8.1; P<0.005)was statistically significant. The mean cure time of the three corrected methods were(14.0±4.87)mo in progressive addition glass group;(16.93±4.58)mo in under corrected grope;(17.93±4.42)mo in full corrected group. Three groups of independent samples by paired t-test showed: the difference between progressive addition glass group and under corrected grope(t=2.88, P<0.01)was statistically significant; the difference between progressive addition glass group and full corrected grope(t=3.9, P<0.01)was statistically significant; the difference between under corrected grope and full corrected grope(t=1.01, P>0.05)was statistically insignificant. In high hyperopic amblyopic children, the difference of the therapy effect and the healing time of the three corrected methods were insignificant in two years.(χ2=2.43, P>0.05. t=1.49, P>0.05; t=1.46,P>0.05; t=1.11, P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Under standard prescription, application of progressive multifocal glasses provides a new effective treatment for ametropic amblyopia in hyperopic children, and makes up the deficiency of the whole straightening and under correction in clinical treatment.

AIM: To systematic review the effectiveness of refractive multifocal intraocular lens(MIOL)ReZOOM vs diffractive MIOL ReSTOR in the treatment of cataract.METHODS: Randomized controlled trials comparing refractive MIOL ReZOOM with diffractive MIOL ReSTOR were identified by searching CENTRAL, MEDLINE, EMbase, WANFANG MED ONLINE, CMJD, SinoMed, and CNKI. Related journals also were hand-searched. Methodological quality of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)was evaluated by simple evaluate method that recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. Data extracted by two reviewers with designed extraction form. RevMan software(release 5.2)was used for data management and analysis.RESULTS:A total of 7 trials(846 eyes)were included for systematic review. Subgroup analyses were used according to different model comparison of ReSTOR MIOL. The results showed a significant difference in the mean of the best distance corrected intermediate visual acuity(BDCIVA)in the ReZOOM MIOL group with WMD= -0.11, 95% CI(-0.16, -0.06)(P<0.0001). It showed a significantly difference in the mean of the uncorrected near visual acuity(UCNVA), complete spectacle independent rate, halo rate and glare rate in the ReSTOR MIOL group with WMD= 0.09, 95% CI(0.05, 0.14)(P<0.00001), WMD= 2.62, 95%CI(1.76, 3.91)(P<0.00001), WMD=1.35, 95% CI(1.15, 1.60)(P=0.0004)and WMD= 1.29, 95% CI(1.09, 1.53)(P=0.003). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean of the uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA), the uncorrected intermediate visual acuity(UCIVA), the best corrected distance visual acuity(BCDVA)and the best distance corrected near visual acuity(BDCNVA)with WMD -0.03, 95% CI(-0.06, 0.01)(P=0.15), WMD= -0.04, 95% CI(-0.09, 0.01)(P=0.10), WMD= -0.01, 95%CI(-0.04, 0.02)(P=0.55)and WMD= 0.06, 95% CI(-0.06, 0.17)(P=0.32). CONCLUSION: Patients implanted with ReZOOM MIOL can provide better BDCIVA; patients implanted with ReSTOR MIOL show better UCNVA, are less likely to appear light halo, glare and other visual adverse reactions; correction in spectacles cases, patients implanted with ReZOOM or ReSTOR MIOL have considerable performances in the far and near visual acuity.

Neovascular glaucoma(NVG)is a kind of intractable eye disease with complex etiology, strong destruction and poor effect on treatment. Extensive retinal ischemia and hypoxia is the main etiology, and the key of treatment is early diagnosis, active prevention and taking effective measures to prevent the production of vascular endothelial growth factor. According to the related literature over recent years, the authors will discuss pros and cons for medical, surgical and combined treatment in this review.

Secondary glaucoma is a kind of complications after vitrectomy, its etiologies are various and complex. Ineffective therapies might cause irreversible damage on optic nerves and visual field defect, even the loss in visual function. Nowadays, this project has been paid great attention by various researches both in China and abroad. Both the pathogens and therapies of secondary glaucoma after vitrectomy are analyzed as follows.

At present, filtration surgery remains an important treatment of glaucoma, and filtering bleb fibrosis is the main cause for treatment failure. Filtering bleb fibrosis is a common fiber hyperplastic disease, and it relates to the activation and proliferation of fibroblasts and the excessive production of extracellular matrix(ECM)such as collagen protein. The most frequently-used drugs for filtering bleb fibrosis in clinic are 5-fluoro-2,4(1h, 3h)pyrimidinedione(5-Fu)and mitomycin(MMC). Although they are effective in some degree, they also have some serious side effects which restrict their clinical use. Triptolide(TPL)is a major active component of the medicinal plant, tripterygium wilfordii hook.f.(TWHF). TPL has multiple pharmacological activities including immunosuppressive, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-fertility activity. Reviewing related literatures published in recent ten years, we confirmed that TPL seemed to possess a pharmacological activity in treating filtering bleb fibrosis. Since it has three major functions: 1. inhibit the activation and proliferation of fibroblasts and the excessive production of collagen protein; 2. alleviate the inflammatory reaction after surgical wound to suppress fibrous scar formation; 3.TPL has a protective effect on retinal ganglion cells(RGCs). We further find that TPL's anti-fibrosis activity mainly results from that it inhibits TGF-β/Smad,NF-κB and PI3K/AKT signal transduction pathway. This comprehensive analysis about the feasibility of Triptolide's role in treating filtering bleb fibrosis after the filtration surgery of glaucoma can help us develop new drugs for filtering bleb fibrosis and exploit TPL's clinical value on some level.

AIM: To contrast the effect of small incision phacoemulsification and non-phacoemulsification to treat cataract. METHODS: Totally 172 patients with cataract were divided into 2 groups(n=86)randomly. Patients in Group Phaco were treated with phacoemulsification and, while those in Group Siecs were treated with small incision extracapsular cataract surgery and intraocular lens implantation. They were all followed up for 1-3y. Functional examinations were made at 3d; 1,6mo and last follow-up. The visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber depth, average corneal power(ACP), cylinder(CYL), surface asymmetry index(SAI)and complications were contrasted between groups. RESULTS: At 3d after operation, the visual acuity of Group Phaco was better than that of Group Siecs(P<0.05), and CYL, SAI and intraocular pressure of Group Phaco were all significantly lower than those of Group Siecs(P<0.05). At 1mo after operation, the visual acuity of Group Phaco was better than that of Group Siecs(P<0.05), and CYL, SAI and intraocular pressure of Group Phaco were slightly lower than those of Group Siecs(P<0.05); there was no difference between the two group. At 6mo after operation, the visual acuity of Group Phaco was still better than that of Group Siecs(P<0.05), and CYL, SAI and intraocular pressure of Group Phaco were flat as those of Group Siecs(P<0.05); there was no difference between groups in those indexes above(P>0.05). Furthermore, the APC and anterior chamber depth of each point-in-time had no significant difference between groups(P>0.05). The incidences of complication were similar in two groups(P>0.05); but with individual differences, patients of GradeⅡ and Ⅲ in Group Phaco got lower complication rate(P<0.05), while those of Grade Ⅳ higher(P<0.05)than those of Group Siecs. CONCLUSION: Our research shows that phacoemulsification has high effect in the treatment of patients with GradeⅡ and Ⅲ nuclear hardness, while small incision extracapsular cataract surgery has high effect in the treatment of patients with Grade Ⅳ nuclear hardness.

AIM: To compare the effect of treating cataract by sodium hyaluronate injection and lens-loop nucleus extraction of small incision cataract excision and explore more suitable method to promote the use of surgery in primary hospital. METHODS: All 146 cataract patients(166 eyes)were allocated to two groups in random: the control group 78 patients(84 eyes)received conventional lens loop for extracapsular cataract extraction; the experiment group 68 patients(82 eyes)underwent nucleus extraction in small incision with sodium hyaluronate injection for extracapsular cataract extraction. Postoperative visual acuity and intraoperative and postoperative complications were compared between two groups. RESULTS: Incidence of posterior capsule rupture difference was statistically significant(P<0.05)in small incision nucleus extraction with sodium hyaluronate injection compared with conventional lens loop for extracapsular cataract extraction. And there was no significant difference(P> 0.05)in postoperative visual acuity, astigmatism degree and postoperative complications compared with those of pre-operation. CONCLUSION: Compared with the lens loop nucleus extraction, sodium hyaluronate injection for extracapsular cataract extraction can effectively protect the posterior lens capsule and can be promoted in small incision cataract surgery.

Glaucoma is the first leading cause of irreversible blindness and the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that elevated intraocular pressure(IOP)is one of the major risk factors for the development and progression of glaucomatous optic nerve damage. However, there have been 50% of primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG)patients with typical glaucomatous optic neuropathy in whom the IOP measurements have always been in the normal range, and some patients develop typical glaucomatous optic neuropathy with the well controlled IOP. These phenomena cannot be explained by the theory of high intraocular pressure. The pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic nerve damage in these patients with normal IOP needs to be further discussed. Numerous studies at home and abroad have shown that: 1. the surrounding anatomy of the optic nerve including the IOP, the anatomy and biomechanics of the lamina cribrosa and retrobulbar orbital cerebrospinal fluid pressure may be of importance for the pathogenesis of the POAG; 2. patients with normal tension glaucoma had significantly lower cerebrospinal fluid pressure and a higher trans-lamina cribrosa pressure difference compared with normal subjects; 3. patients with ocular hypertension had significantly higher cerebrospinal fluid pressure, however, there is no difference in trans-lamina cribrosa pressure compared with normal subjects. Based on the above research, now we make a review about the research advance of the relation between intracranial pressure and glaucoma optic nerve damage and the available measurements about noninvasive intracranial pressure in clinical in this paper.

Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is one of a leading worldwide cause of blindness. AMD is a multifactorial disease, and major risk factors include increasing age, current smoking, previous cataract surgery, environmental factors, nutritional factors, genetic markers through genetic regulate complement, lipid, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix. In addition to treatment, epidemiology, risk factors and genetics research of AMD have been significantly progressed. This article will review risk factors of AMD.

AIM: To observe the clinical efficacy of adjunctive intravitreous injection with Lucentis for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma(NVG). METHODS: The retrospective case series study included 25 eyes of 25 patients who underwentintravitreous injection with Lucentis. Patients firstly received an intravitreous injection with Lucentis(0.5mg/0.05mL), after the regression of neovascularization of the iris, patients accepted different surgical treatments according to different etiopathogenesis condition. Iris, chamber angle neovascularization condition, intraocular pressure, and visual acuity were observed postoperatively. The follow-up duration was 3mo.RESULTS: After 3-7d of intravitreous Lucentis injecting, iris and chamber angle neovascularization was totally faded in 20 cases(20 eyes)and was not completely faded in 5 cases(5 eyes). Additional treatments were compound trabeculectomy(14 cases, 14 eyes), vitrectomy(4 cases, 4 eyes). The patients' mean intraocular pressure was 43.42±10.99mmHg before treatment, which decreased rapidly when they came out of the hospital(14.26±7.64mmHg, P<0.05)and stabilized during the follow-up 3mo(18.76±5.96mmHg, P<0.05). Follow-up at 3mo, visual acuity improved or remained in 20 cases(20 eyes)and decreased in 5 cases(5 eyes). The complete success, qualified success and failure were 21 eyes, 3 eyes and 1 eye, respectively.CONCLUSION:Intravitreous injection with Lucentis can be used as an assisted treatment of NVG. According to different etiopathogenesis condition, it is an effective treatment to combine with other treatment methods for NVG.

AIM: To investigate the effect and safety of laser peripheral iridoplasty combined with iridectomy in the unmanageable acute angle-closure glaucoma by medication. METHODS: Totally 19 cases(21 eyes)with acute angle-closure glaucoma, including 15 cases(17 eyes)with primary glaucoma and 4 cases(4 eyes)with intumescent cataract-induced glaucoma, were recruited into the study. The intraocular pressure(IOP)of all cases were still >21mmHg after 24h drug treatment, and then were treated by laser peripheral iridoplasty combined with iridectomy. The visual accurity, IOP, cornea, peripheral anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber angle and complications were observed at 24h after the surgery. RESULTS: The mean IOP of all cases was reduced from 53.09±11.01mmHg before the surgery to 14.98±4.21mmHg at 24h after the treatment, with significant statistical difference(P<0.01). The visual acurity of all cases increased in different degrees from handle move to 0.3 to 0.1-1.0 at 24h after the treatment.

AIM: To observe the efficacy, complications and ocular surface tear dynamics of the treatment for pterygium combined with conjunctivochalasis by inferior limbal-stem-cell transplantation. METHODS: All 30 patients(46 eyes)diagnosed as pterygium combined with conjunctivochalasis in our hospital from December, 2010 to December, 2012 with a mean age of 61.2y(SD 7.2, range 49-75)were subjected to observation. After excision of nasal pterygium, an equivalent size of conjunctival flap linked with corneal limbal stem cell from inferior limbus was transplanted to the exposed sclera. Afterwards, the inferior bulbar conjunctiva was trimmed and fixed onto surface of sclera and inferior corneal limbus. After one-year follow-up, the comparisons regarding vision acuity between pre-operation and post-operation(1mo later)as well as ocular-surface tear dynamics changes including several indexes like altitude and integrity of tear meniscus, break-up time(BUT), corneal fluorescein staining and chloramphenicol gestation test before and 3mo after surgery were made. The operative complications and the recurrence rates 1y after operations were recorded. RESULTS: Median visual acuity was 0.2(0.04-0.6)before the operation and median visual acuity was 0.4(0.04-1.0)1mo after the operation. Of total 46 eyes in 21 eyes(45.7%), visual acuity improved. No vision changes were found in other 25 eyes(54.3%). Significant difference(P<0.01)of vision acuity before and after surgery was found. In addition, break-up time(BUT), corneal fluorescein staining and chloramphenicol gestation test and altitude and integrity of tear meniscus show better results 3mo after surgery than that of pre-operation, which showed statistically significant(P<0.05). After 1y follow-up, 33 eyes(71.7%)healed while problems in 11 eyes(23%)were relieved. The total efficacy rate was 95.6%. Nonetheless, invalid surgeries were noticed in two eyes(4.4%)that affected by recurrence of pterygium. The 33 eyes(71.7%)affected by conjunctivochalasis was cured in terms of subjective evaluation and improved in 9 eyes(19.6%), but 4 eyes(8.7%)exhibited no evident improvement in terms of subjective complains. Total efficacy was 91.3%. The 41 eyes(89.1%)were reported to be normal while 5 eyes(10.9%)were revealed to be abnormal in terms of objective therapeutic evaluation. And this condition was so-call conjunctivochalasis recurrence with a recurrence rate of 10.9%. No proliferation of granulation, narrowing inferior fornix and malfunction of eye movements was found. CONCLUSION: Inferior-limbal-stem-cell transplantation to treat pterygium combined with conjunctivochalasis obtains better results. It proves to eradicate or relieve symptoms of patients effectively and ameliorate ocular-surface tear dynamics.

Before and after 8wk treatment, the light reflex, diopter case, eye fissure width, and eye movement to improve the overall efficiency of the situation were observed between the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment of 8wk, light reflex,diopter case, eye fissure width, and eye movement therapy total effective rate of the treatment group were all better than the control group(P<0.05); The eye movement improved in the treatment were 47 cases which accounting for 85.5%, in the control group there were 36 cases which accounting for 65.5%, the treatment group had a higher improvement(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture therapy combined with rehabilitation training method significantly reduces the oculomotor nerve palsy in patients with clinical symptoms and improves the patient's quality of life.

AIM: To study the effectiveness of hyaluronidase periocular injection combined with α-lipoic acid and Chinese medicine in the treatment of diabetic vitreous hemorrhage.METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 67 patientswith proliferative diabetic retinophathy(PDR)and vitreous hemorrhage, were divided into two groups: treatment group and control group. There were 32 cases in every group, the treatment group were giving hyaluronidase periocular injection combined with α-lipoic acid intravenously and with traditional Chinese medicine in promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, control group were only given Chinese medicine treatment in promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis. RESULTS: Followed up 2-3mo, the total efficiency of treatment group(78%)was better than control group(57%), there was statistically significant difference(P<0.05). The efficiency of the two groups' patients with vitreous hemorrhage more than 2wk time was 22% and 25% respectively, there was no statistically significant difference in the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Hyaluronidase periocular injection combined with α-lipoic acid and Chinese medicine in the treatment of PDR combined with vitreous hemorrhageis more effective than only use Chinese medicine. But it only has effect for the early, over 2wk, it has no significant effect.

AIM: To compare the clinical results of suture method and partial eyelash resection treating for pediatric eyelid trichiasis, and screen an effective method for the treatment of pediatric lower eyelid trichiasis. METHODS: Fifty-six cases of pediatric patients with lower eyelid trichiasis were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group in accordance with the method of drawing lots, and each group was 28 cases. The control group was treated with suture method, and the observation group was treated with partial eyelash resection. The clinical efficacy, patient satisfaction before and after treatment, and the incidence of complications were compared. RESULTS:(1)The clinically total effective rate was 74% of the control group, which was 89% of the observation group, and there were statistical differences of the clinical efficacy between the two groups(P<0.05);(2)the satisfaction scores were(3.89±1.22)points and(6.27±1.86)points of the the control group before and after treatment, which were(4.00±1.34)points and(8.95±2.34)points of the observation group, and there were statistical differences of the two groups before and after treatment(P<0.05), and the scores of the observation group were higher than that of the control group(P<0.05);(3)complications such as swelling and stitches off appeared in both groups, and the rate was 21% in the control group, which was 11% in the observation group, and there were statistical differences between the two groups(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The treatment of children with lower eyelid trichiasis, suture method is simple and can be performed under local anesthesia in collaboration with children, but with a higher relapse rate, some patients required reoperation; partial resection of eyelashes can be more thoroughly solve the problem of pediatric eyelid trichiasis with low recurrence rate, but children need to be under general anesthesia with some of big risk. So partial resection of eyelashes is unsuitable for using in clinical practice widely and can be used in special cases.

AIM: To observe the clinical effects of 23-gauge(23G)transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole.METHODS: In this retrospective study, 28 eyes of 28 consecutive patients who underwent 23-gauge transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy for idiopathic macular hole between January 2013 and October 2013 in our hospital were evaluated. The follow-up time was 3-12mo. The operation effects were analyzed.RESULTS: The macular hole was closed in 27 eyes of 28 eyes which underwent 23G transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy and not closed in 1 eye after surgery. Best-corrected visual acuity at postoperative 1, 3mo was significantly improved compared to pre-operation(χ2=8.65, P=0.003; χ2=10.33, P=0.001). The macular hole was closed as shown by OCT. Intraoperative incision was sutured in 5 cases(18%). There was no statistically significant difference in intraocular pressure between pre-operation and post-operation. No post-operative complications such as endophthalmitis, retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage came up. CONCLUSION: 23G transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy is observed to be safe and effective technique in the treatment of macular hole. It is therefore our preferred system for straightforward macular surgery.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide(TA)for the treatment of macular edema caused by pre-retinal membrane of the macular. METHODS: Totally 23 patients(24 eyes)with macular edema caused by pre-retinal membrane of the macular were treated withintravitreal injection of 4mg TA. Best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA), intraocular pressure(IOP),slit-lamp examination, fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA)and optical coherence tomography(OCT)were performed before and after treatment. The SPSS 12.0 software was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: After 10, 30, 90d of treatment of TA, as compared with before treatment, visual acuity improved significantly(P<0.05), and central macular thickness(CMT)was significantly thinner(P<0.01). The average central macular thickness decreased from 522±126μm before treatment to 264±115μm, 245±128μm, 286±131μm at 10, 30, 90d after treatment. Macular edema reduced. IOP increased in 7 eyes(29%), one cataract case, no other complications associated with vitreous injection. CONCLUSION:Intravitreal injection of TA in the treatment of macular edema caused by pre-retinal membrane of the macular is simple, safe and easy to operate. It can quickly reduce macular edema, and improve the visual acuity in the short term. Part of patients may recur after injection in the first half of the year.

Glaucoma is the first leading cause of irreversible blindness and the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that elevated intraocular pressure(IOP)is one of the major risk factors for the development and progression of glaucomatous optic nerve damage. However, there have been 50% of primary open-angle glaucoma(POAG)patients with typical glaucomatous optic neuropathy in whom the IOP measurements have always been in the normal range, and some patients develop typical glaucomatous optic neuropathy with the well controlled IOP. These phenomena cannot be explained by the theory of high intraocular pressure. The pathogenesis of glaucomatous optic nerve damage in these patients with normal IOP needs to be further discussed. Numerous studies at home and abroad have shown that: 1. the surrounding anatomy of the optic nerve including the IOP, the anatomy and biomechanics of the lamina cribrosa and retrobulbar orbital cerebrospinal fluid pressure may be of importance for the pathogenesis of the POAG; 2. patients with normal tension glaucoma had significantly lower cerebrospinal fluid pressure and a higher trans-lamina cribrosa pressure difference compared with normal subjects; 3. patients with ocular hypertension had significantly higher cerebrospinal fluid pressure, however, there is no difference in trans-lamina cribrosa pressure compared with normal subjects. Based on the above research, now we make a review about the research advance of the relation between intracranial pressure and glaucoma optic nerve damage and the available measurements about noninvasive intracranial pressure in clinical in this paper.

Age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is one of a leading worldwide cause of blindness. AMD is a multifactorial disease, and major risk factors include increasing age, current smoking, previous cataract surgery, environmental factors, nutritional factors, genetic markers through genetic regulate complement, lipid, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix. In addition to treatment, epidemiology, risk factors and genetics research of AMD have been significantly progressed. This article will review risk factors of AMD.

AIM: To better reveal the changing process of macula area after photodynamic therapy(PDT), the changes of tomographic imaging on macular fovea optical coherence tomography(OCT)scan at different follow-up time points after treating age-related macular degeneration(AMD)by PDT were investigated.METHODS: This cohort study included 30 eyes of 26 patients diagnosed as AMD. The dosage of verteporfin was calculated according to manufacturer's instruction. All participants got FFA, ICG, OCT scan and best corrected visual acuity before and followed up for 2wk, 1, 2, 3mo after PDT. The standard five lines combined with 6 lines OCT scan covered key parts of lesion and the scan locations before and after were kept the same. The bilaminar foveal thickness(BFT), outer high reflectivity band thickness(OHRBT), and the total area of intraretinal fluid(IRF)and subretinal fluid(SRF)were measured at different time points. The relationship between the changes and follow up time was analyzed. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using SPSS for windows version 13.0.RESULTS:There months after treatment, an improvement of 2 lines or better on the Snellen chart was achieved on 22 eyes, visual acuity of 3 eyes without significant change, 3 eyes got decreased, 2 cases lost follow up. The average macular thickness of improved 22 eyes before treatment was 722.5±55.6μm, 2wk after treatment, 708.3±45.3μm, 1mo, 584.4±49.3μm, 2mo, 430.7±50.2μm and 180.6 ±36.3μm at 3mo.The OHRBT before and after treatment respectively were 302.3±50.2μm, 277.5±42.3μm, 202.7±40.1μm, 180.6±35.7μm, 100.8±22.9μm. The total area of both IRF and SRF was estimated as 0.34±0.12mm2, 0.25±0.07mm2, 0.10±0.05mm2, 0.08±0.04mm2, 0.05±0.01mm2. CONCLUSION: SRF and retinal edema of patients with AMD were absorbed 1mo after PDT, and the BFT, OHRBT were significantly tend to be thin.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of the chosen incision on corneal astigmatism after implantable collamer lens(ICL)surgery.METHODS: The study included 195 eyes of 102 patients, and all eyes were randomly divided into two groups: the chosen incision group(Group A, 97 eyes)and temporal corneal incision(Group B, 98 eyes). Before the operation, and 1wk,1mo and 3mo after the operation, each patient was examined with corneal topography to observe the changes of corneal astigmatism. RESULTS: Preoperative corneal astigmatisms were(1.26±0.35)D in group A and(1.28±0.38)D in group B, thus there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). One week postoperatively, the astigmatism were(0.93±0.29)D in group A and(1.32±0.33)D in group B. One month postoperatively, the astigmatism were(0.85±0.16)D in group A and(1.27±0.18)D in group B. Three months postoperatively, the astigmatism were(0.80±0.13)D in group A and(1.25±0.20)D in group B. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The chosen incision can reduce postoperative astigmatism to a certain extent after ICL surgery.

AIM: To observe the efficacy of ondansetron by intravenous injection at different time in preventing nausea and vomiting after pediatric strabismus surgery. METHODS: Totally 90 children aged 3-11y were randomly selected for pediatric strabismus surgery from June 2013 to August 2013 in our hospital. The ASA grade of all children were Ⅰ-Ⅱ. Children were randomly divided into three groups with 30 cases each. Group A received intravenous drip of ondansetron 0.1mg/kg before surgery. Group B received intravenous drip of ondansetron 0.1mg/kg after surgery. Group C as control group was not given ondansetron. The number and severity of nausea and vomiting were observed within 24h after surgery. RESULTS: There were no statistical significance in patients' gender, weight, age, duration of anesthesia, ketamine dosage and vital signs intraoperative between the three groups(P>0.05). The incidence rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)of group A and B were significantly lower than group C(P<0.05). The incidence rate of PONV of group A and group B have no significant difference(P>0.05). CONCLUSION: Using ondansetron is effective and safe in preventing PONV before and at the end of the pediatric strabismus surgery, which can also improve safety and be lower cost. It is a worthy promoting antiemetic approach for eye surgery.

AIM: To explore the feasibility of culturing human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)on acellular corneal stroma and performing the posterior lamellar endothelial keratoplasty(PLEK)treating corneal endothelial decompensation.METHODS: Thirty New-Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups randomly, 10 rabbits for experimental group, 10 for stroma group and 10 for control group. Corneal endothelial cells were removed to establish animal model of corneal endothelial failure. PLEK was performed on the rabbits of experimental group and stroma group, and nothing was transplantated onto the rabbits of control group with the deep layer excised only. Postoperative observation was taken for 3mo. The degree of corneal edema and central corneal thickness were recorded for statistical analysis.RESULTS: Corneas in experimental group were relieved in edema obviously compared with that in stroma group and the control group, and showed increased transparency 7d after the operation. The average density of endothelial cells was 2 026.4±129.3cells/mm2, and average central corneal thickness was 505.2±25.4μm in experimental group, while 1 535.6±114.5μm in stroma group and 1 493.5±70.2μm in control group 3mo after operation.CONCLUSION:We achieved preliminary success in our study that culturing HUVEC on acellular corneal stroma and performing PLEK for corneal endothelial decompensation. HUVEC transplanted could survive in vivo, and have normal biological function of keeping cornea transparent. This study provides a new idea and a new way clinically for the treatment of corneal endothelial diseases.
