Objective: To analyze the serum biochemical indexes of different degrees of type 2 diabetic retinopathy, and the correlation between biochemical indexes and the degree of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes admitted to the Fujian Medical University 2nd Affiliate Hospital from May 2018 to October 2020 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to fundus conditions: non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR) group (n=17), diabetes with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) group (n=29),diabetes with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) group (n=34). SPSS 24.0 was used to compare the levels of a complete set of serum biochemical indexes in the three groups. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used for the correlation between the different indexes and DR. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in age between the three groups. The differences in total protein, albumin, white sphere ratio, and calcium concentration of the three groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). The comparison between the groups showed that the total protein, albumin, white sphere ratio, and calcium concentration in the NPDR and PDR groups were lower than those in the NDR group. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that total protein (r=?0.290), albumin (r=?0.304), andcalcium concentration (r=?0.252) were negatively correlated with DR (all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression indicated total protein, albumin and blood calcium concentration were the protective factors of DR (P<0.05).Conclusion: This study found that serum levels of total protein, albumin, and blood calcium levels are negatively correlated with DR. Maintaining a relatively high level of these indexes within the physiological range may provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of using the amount of base-out (BO) recovery point as the surgical target for acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE). Methods: Patients with AACE underwent surgery based on the target angle of the base-out recovery point and were followed up at least 4 months. The deviation, binocular functions before and after the surgery were analyzed and the factors related the post-operative stereopsis were evaluated. Results: Totally 43 patients were included in the study, including 27 males (63%) and 16 females (37%), aged from 9 to 53 years (23.7±11.4 years), duration of preoperative strabismus ranged from 3 months to 11 years (24.8±24.5 months), and postoperative follow-up ranged from 4 to 62 (15.8±14.5 months). Both distant and near pre-operative Base-out recovery point were larger than the angle of esotropia [(9.3±6.9) PD for distant; (11.4±6.7) PD for near, both P<0.001]. The pre-operative esotropia for distant and near viewing were (38.4±13.2) PD and (37.6±13.7) PD respectively and reduced to (0.74±2.4) PD and (0.70±2.4) PD at the last visit time (P<0.001). Thirty-eight cases were orthosia without any phoria and five cases still had some esophoria or minimal esotropia at the last visit. The stereoacuity improved significantly after the surgery. The post-operative stereopsis significantly correlated with the pre-operative stereopsis and the duration from onset of esotropia to the time of surgery. Conclusion: The acute acquired comitant esotropia can be corrected with strabismus surgery based on the target angle of base-out recovery point. The post-operative stereopsis correlated with the pre-operative stereo function and the time of esotropia lasting. It suggested the earlier esotropia was corrected the better the stereopsis recovered.
Objective: To explore the feasibility of developing a deep learning algorithm for detecting coronary heart diseases based on fundus color photography and artificial intelligence (AI). Methods: A total of 2 117 fundus color photographs were taken from 530 patients in Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital from 2013 to 2014,including 909 fundus color photographs from 217 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). According to whether the patient had coronary heart disease or not, the Inception-V3 depth convolution neural network was used to train the deep learning model, and then the validation data were used to judge the accuracy of the model. The accuracy, consistency rate, sensitivity and specificity of the deep convolution network model and the area under the working characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated. Results: Among the 2 117 fundus color photographs, 1 903 were used for model training, and 214 were used to test the accuracy of the model. In the test dataset, the accuracy of the algorithm was 98.1%, the consistency rate was 98.6%, the sensitivity was 100.0%, and the specificity was 96.7%. The AUC was 0.988 (95% CI, 0.974–1.000). Conclusion: The combination of fundus color photography and artificial intelligence can achieve the accurate diagnosis of the coronary heart disease, and the model has high sensitivity and specificity. However, future studies are warranted to validate our model and exclude the possibility of over-fitting.
眉眼位于面部显要位置,是人类面部重要器官与美学标志,双侧的完整对称对容貌影响巨大[1]。眉、眼睑外伤及良性肿物对容貌的影响很大,手术切除后易造成组织缺损,若强行拉拢缝合会导致眉眼严重畸形,如眉下垂、睑内外翻、成角畸形及闭合不全等[2]。因此对术后创面修复要求高,若缺损处理不当,既影响美观及眉眼功能,同时也伤害患者心身健康[3]。为了彻底切除病变,良好地恢复眉眼外观、形态及功能,同时避免发生并发症, 2018 年以来笔者团队根据眉眼皮肤缺损的大小、原因、位置采用风筝皮瓣及旋转皮瓣进行I期修复,取得满意的疗效,现报告如下。
The World Health Organization and Chinese “Healthy China” strategy have elevated visual health management to an unprecedented height. Ensuring people’s visual health multi-directionally in whole period and enhancing people's awareness on visual health care are the strategic focus for us to achieve a healthy China. Talent training is the lifeblood and cornerstone for industrial development, so exploration and construction in optometry talent education is a priority. Taking the optometry department of Tianjin Medical University as an example, this paper discusses how to effectively carry out optometry education and train optometry professionals who keep up with the times under the background of visual health management in today’s society.
With the cataract surgery evolving from visual restoration surgery to refractive surgery, surgical correction of corneal astigmatism becomes more and more important. For Toric intraocular lens implantation, the surgeon should not only pay attention to the values in surface of anterior corneal astigmatism but also that in posterior corneal astigmatism. Otherwise,unwanted postoperative refractive errors may occur. The mean value of posterior corneal astigmatism was around 0.37 D.In most cases, the posterior corneal astigmatism produces against-the-rule effect. Therefore, the above-mentioned feature of posterior corneal astigmatism should be noticed to prevent the under-correction or over-correction effect of toric lens.
At present, the research on adult keratoconus has been extensive, while the research on pediatric keratoconus is few. The diagnosis and treatment of pediatric keratoconus are often based on the study of keratoconus in adults. Pediatric keratoconus is more aggressive than adult keratoconus, resulting in visual impairment that can follow throughout their lives and have a serious negative impact on their quality of life and educational development. In this paper, according to the treatment progress of pediatric keratoconus in recent years, the safety, effectiveness, and treatment timing of different treatment methods were summarized, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the treatment of pediatric keratoconus.
Glaucoma is a major eye disease causing blindness and visual damage worldwide, and it is also one of the irreversible eye diseases causing blindness. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is an important risk factor for the development of glaucoma, and the influence of blood pressure (BP) on the progression of glaucoma also cannot be ignored. Eye perfusion pressure is the difference between blood pressure and intraocular pressure, regulating the blood supply to the optic nerves. IOP, BP and perfusion pressure are related to the occurrence and the progression of glaucoma. Literature review was performed related to the effects of IOP and BP on glaucoma, and the application of 24-hour IOP and BP monitoring in glaucoma, aiming to analyze the significance of simultaneous monitoring of IOP and BP for 24 hours.
The recent researches indicate that the disorder of lipid metabolism is closely related to ophthalmic diseases.In vitro studies and preclinical studies have shown that high density lipoprotein (HDL) and its main structural protein apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) have superior efficacy in blood vessel protection, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic effects on endothelial cells. Prospect of the ApoA1 mimetic peptide is very optimistic as it can mimic the function of apoA1, and its molecular weight is smaller. The safety and efficacy of oral use of mimetic peptide D-4F have been confirmed in both animal experiments and clinic trials. Thus, it had been extensively studied. In this paper, we reviewed the structure of apoA1 and its mimetic peptide, as well as their researches related to ophthalmic diseases, such as optometry, corneal diseases and vitreoretinal diseases, so as to provide reference to further researches in apoA1 and its mimetic peptide in the of ophthalmic diseases.
