Extrapolating global visual field indices from local parameters in the nasal region

The local mean and the average difference of four pairs of test locations within the 26° visual field, situated above and below the horizontal nasal meridian, were used to predict the global field indices MD and CLV of the Gl glaucoma program. Out of 539 examinations (194 eyes suspected of having glaucoma), the local indices NDIFF (describing asymmetrical behavior around the nasal horizontal meridian), ND0 (the mean defect in the nasal region), and the global indices MD and CLV were calculated. Seven hundred fifty-five examinations (446 normal eyes) served as a control group. First and second examinations of 146 glaucoma suspect eyes were used to calculate the retest reliability scores for the indices in question. When analyzing the glaucoma suspects, the local index NDIFF, together with the local mean defect, ND0, yielded highly reliable estimates of the global indices MD and CLV, with a retest correlation r = 0.86 for NDIFF, and r = 0.96 for ND0. The covariance of NDIFF with CLV was r = 0.67, while the co-variance of MD with ND0 was r = 0.95.The ranges of the local indices ND0 and NDIFF were each classified into normal range and range of suspected pathology, in analogy to the normal and pathological ranges of the global field indices. Equivalence of the local indices with the corresponding ranges of MD and CLV was investigated and the results are shown. The establishment of local indices may prove to be a powerful tool in early detection of glaucomatous damage.     

白内障伴青光眼患者术后胰岛素抵抗及炎症因子水平与视觉质量的关系

目的分析白内障伴青光眼患者术后胰岛素抵抗及炎症因子水平变化与视觉质量的关系。 方法选取47例(47眼)白内障伴青光眼患者为研究对象,均接受超声乳化+小梁切除术治疗。术前、术后7天、术后3个月检测患者客观散射指数(OSI)、点扩散函数(PSF)、调制传递函数截止频率(MTF cutoff)、胰岛素敏感指数及白细胞介素(IL)-1β、IL-10、IL-2水平。采用Pearson法分析视觉质量参数与胰岛素抵抗情况及炎症因子的相关性。 结果与术前比较,术后7天和术后3个月最佳校正视力、MTF cutoff及胰岛素敏感指数升高,且术后3个月更高(P＜0.05);与术前比较,术后7天和术后3个月眼压、角膜内皮细胞计数、PSF、OSI及血清IL-1β、IL-2、IL-10水平降低,且术后3个月更低(P＜0.05)。Pearson分析显示,术前、术后7天和术后3个月,白内障伴青光眼患者OSI与胰岛素敏感指数呈负相关(P＜0.05),与血清IL-1β、IL-2、IL-10水平呈正相关(P＜0.05);MTF cutoff与胰岛素敏感指数呈正相关(P＜0.05),与血清IL-1β、IL-2、IL-10水平呈负相关(P＜0.05);PSF与血清IL-1β水平呈负相关(P＜0.05)。术后7天和3个月,PSF与胰岛素敏感指数呈正相关(P＜0.05),与血清IL-2、IL-10水平呈负相关(P＜0.05)。 结论超声乳化联合小梁切除术对视觉质量的改善可能与胰岛素抵抗及炎症因子变化密切相关。     

The long-tube single plate Molteno implant for the treatment of recalcitrant glaucoma

One hundred cases of recalcitrant glaucoma were operated with a long tube single-plate Molteno implant (LSMI). At the median follow-up of 15 months an intraocular pressure of 19 mm Hg was obtained in 64 of the 87 eyes (73%) which have a minimum follow-up of 6 months (secondary non-neovascular glaucomas=19; congenital glaucomas=26; secondary neovascular glaucomas=12). The interval probability (percentage±standard error) of obtaining a successful result (IOP19 mmHg) was 79% (±13) at twelve months from surgery, and 53% (±24) at the eighteen month interval. The least favorable results were obtained in the secondary non-neovascular glaucomas. Complications observed included choroidal detachment (24%), tube exposure (4%), tube-endothelium contact (6%), plus band keratopathy, fibrous ingrowth, traction retinal detachment and corneal ulcers.Seventeen cases needed repeate surgery for the management of complications. In order to decrease the post-operative hypotony, we have been using a tourniquet suture around the tube at the time of implantation to occlude it temporarily and limit the outflow.     

高眼压状态下青光眼手术的临床观察

Role of anterior retinal cryoablation in the management of neovascular glaucoma

In a prospective study, the effect of anterior retinal cryoablation (ARC) in the management of neovascular glaucoma (NVG) was evaluated over two years, in 72 patients (74 eyes). The outcome of trabeculectomy/seton surgery preceded by 360° ARC was also analysed in 12 eyes of 12 patients (6 eyes in each group). Following ARC, pain relief with dramatic regression of anterior chamber inflammatory reaction was observed in 95% of the patients (59 eyes). At the end of the follow up, as confirmed by iris fluorescein angiography, regression of neovascularization of the iris was documented in 93.5% (58 eyes) of the cases. Intraocular pressure control (22 mm Hg) was achieved in 82.3% (51 eyes) cases. IOP control of 22 mm Hg was achieved in all the 6 eyes with the seton surgery following ARC. Similarly, control of IOP was successfully achieved in all the 6 eyes of patients with NVG with trabeculectomy with post operative course of 5-fluorouracil following ARC. ARC is strongly recommended in NVG, especially in eyes with media opacities and as a preliminary procedure for filtering surgery or drainage implant surgery.Abbreviations ARC Anterior retinal cryoablation - NVG Neovascular glaucoma - NVI Neovascularization of the iris

MIR204 n.37C>T variant as a cause of chorioretinal dystrophy variably associated with iris coloboma,early-onset cataracts and congenital glaucoma

Four members of a three-generation Czech family with early-onset chorioretinal dystrophy were shown to be heterozygous carriers of the n.37C>T in MIR204. The identification of this previously reported pathogenic variant confirms the existence of a distinct clinical entity caused by a sequence change in MIR204. Chorioretinal dystrophy was variably associated with iris coloboma, congenital glaucoma, and premature cataracts extending the phenotypic range of the condition. In silico analysis of the n.37C>T variant revealed 713 novel targets. Additionally, four family members were shown to be affected by albinism resulting from biallelic pathogenic OCA2 variants. Haplotype analysis excluded relatedness with the original family reported to harbour the n.37C>T variant in MIR204. Identification of a second independent family confirms the existence of a distinct MIR204-associated clinical entity and suggests that the phenotype may also involve congenital glaucoma.
