Advances in the application of optical coherence tomography angiography in neurodegenerative disorders

:804-809
 
Retinal microcirculation shares similar features with cerebral small blood vessels. Thus, the retina may be considered as an accessible ‘window’ to detect the microvascular damage occurred during the development and progression of neurodegenerative disorders. Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) is a non-invasive imaging modality providing in-depth and high-resolved images of blood flow in the retina, choroid, and optic nerve. In this review, we summarize the current advances in the application of OCT-A in neurological diseases associated with ophthalmology such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and optic nerve degenerative diseases. Future directions for evaluating whether OCTA can be used as an important tool to early diagnose and monitor the neurodegenerative disorders are also discussed.

Application progress of voxel-based morphometry in ophthalmology: a review

:816-824
 
With the increasing requirements for medical imaging technologies in clinical diagnosis, treatment and pathological basis research of ophthalmic diseases, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been broadly used in the diagnosis and prognostic evaluation of ophthalmic diseases. As a novel analytic method of MR images, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) quantitatively analyzes the changes in brain gray, white matter density and volume in each individual voxel in MR images to reflect the differences of anatomical structures in the corresponding areas, and it provides a novel way to reveal the neuronal pathological changes in ophthalmic diseases.

Tuberous sclerosis complex presenting as retinal hamartomas in a preterm infant: A case report

:825-829
 
Tuberous sclerosis complex is a multisystemic disease with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis are common for patients with single manifestation in the early stage. There are few documented neonatal cases with ocular symptoms as primary presentation. Here we report a newborn boy presented with retinal hamartoma, retinal achromic patch, fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma and subependymal nodules. Subsequent genetic tests confirm a diagnosis of TSC.

Application of porcine orbit model in ophthalmic surgery teaching

:830-835
 
Porcine eyes have been used as animal model in ophthalmic surgery training. However, it differs greatly from real surgery and cannot meet the needs of external eye surgery teaching. Porcine orbit model with eyeball, extraocular muscles, orbital tissue, bones and eyelids can be more realistic simulation of real surgeries and cover more needs for ophthalmic surgery teaching. By setting up ophthalmic surgery teaching platforms, designing staged course and creating new assessment methods based on porcine orbit model, the traditional concept about separation of internal and external eye is changed. This helps young doctors to establish a holistic view from the very beginning, that ophthalmic surgeries should not be split because of subspeciality. In this way, ophthalmic surgery training will become more standardized and perfected.

Observational study of a corneal dystrophy family with confocal microscope

:734-738
 
Objective: To observe and study the corneal in patients of family with granular corneal dystrophy by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Methods: The corneas of 4 patients (6 eyes) with granular corneal dystrophy were scanned by laser confocal microscopy, and the results were compared with those observed by slit lamp and ordinary microscope. Results: The image were gray and white bread-crumb-like opacity under the slit-lamp of cornea in patients of family with granular corneal dystrophy, were eosin-stained granules deposited between stroma layers in hematoxylin-eosin (HE) stain under the microscopy, were high reflective masses under the confocal laser scanning microscopy, which fused with each other. Conclusion: The image of the corneal in patients of family with granular corneal dystrophy were clearer and clearer by from Slit Lamp and microscopy to the confocal laser scanning microscopy. The distribution of sediments was consistent with each other. It can be a good understanding of the development of the disease.

Correlation of vasculogenic mimicry in the primary and recurrent pterygium

:727-733
 
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation of vasculogenic mimicry in the primary and recurrent pterygium. Methods: Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1/periodic acid-schiff (CD31/PAS)immunohistochemical double staining method was adopted to detect the expression of VM in 139 cases of pterygium (105 cases of primary pterygium and 34 cases of recurrent pterygium)and 10 cases of normal conjunctival tissues. The correlation between VM and primary pterygium, recurrent pterygium and the factors such as gender and age of patients were analyzed. Human pterygium fibroblasts (HPFs) were primary cultured and identified by immunocytochemical staining. The differences in the number of VM channels between primary HPFs and recurrent HPFs were observed by three-dimensional culture and PAS staining. Results: There was no VM structure in 10 normal conjunctiva and the positive rate of VM was 43.81% in primary pterygium and 82.35% in recurrent pterygium with a significantly difference (P<0.001). Correlation analysis showed a significant positive correlation between VM and recurrent pterygium (r=0.332). There was no significant difference in the expression of VM in pterygium patients with different sex, age and course (all P>0.05). Vimentin was positive in the primary cultured cells, which was consistent with the characteristics of fibroblasts. The results of three-dimensional culture and PAS staining indicated that HPFs had the ability to construct VM model in vitro, and the number of VM channels constituted by recurrent HPFs was significantly higher than that by primary HPFs, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: VM exists in pterygium tissues, and it can be used as one of the blood supply routes, which is closely related to the recurrence of pterygium.

Computed tomography and pathological manifestations of space-occupying lesions of the orbital bone and their relevance

:719-726
 
Objective: To analyze computed tomography (CT) manifestations of space-occupying lesions of the orbital bone and their relationship with histopathology. Methods: The clinical data of 15 patients with orbital bone occupying lesions confirmed by clinical manifestations , imaging features and pathological symptoms features were retrospectively collected, and their CT examination, histopathological sections and other clinical manifestations were analyzed. Results: Among the 15 patients, 4 cases were pathologically diagnosed with osteoma, 3 cases of intraosseous hemangioma, 2 cases of osteoid osteoma and 2 cases of ossifying fibroma, 3 cases of eosinophilic granuloma and 1 case of Ewing’s sarcoma. Osteoma was composed of mature lamellar bones, which corresponded to a high-density osteoid nodular protuberance on CT. The pathological features of intraosseous hemangioma were mainly malformed blood vessels between bone trabeculae and typical “fence” and “honeycomb” features on CT. Osteoid osteoma was mainly composed of bone-like tissue and connective tissue, mainly showing round high-density shadow, typical low-density “tumor nest” shadow in the center, and hypertrophic bone density shadow in the periphery. Ossifying fibroma was composed of proliferative fibrous tissue and bone-like tissue. CT showed that the surface of the tumor was often surrounded by bone shell, and the lesions were mostly round or oval. Eosinophilic granuloma was mainly composed of a large number of Langerhans cells, which corresponded to the soft tissue mass on CT and could be accompanied by osteolytic destruction. Ewing’s sarcoma was mainly composed of poorly differentiated small round cells, and CT manifestations were worm-eaten bone destruction with soft tissue lesions between destroyed bone tissues. Conclusion: Various lesions occurring in the orbital bone have their own special pathological composition. Different pathological components show corresponding imaging features on CT.

Clinical characteristics and therapeutic effect of 46 cases of bilateral retinoblastoma

:704-710
 
Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and therapeutic effect of 46 patients with bilateral retinoblastoma (RB). Methods: The clinical data of 46 patients with bilateral retinoblastoma who received intravenous chemotherapy combined with transpupillary thermotherapy (TTT) or enucleation from December 2008 to December 2019 in our department were analyzed retrospectively. The eye salvage rate, enucleation rate, visual acuity, and chemotherapy side effects were evaluated. Results: The 46 enrolled patients were 27 males and 19 females, at an average age of (13.21±11.13) months at the first visit. Among them, 10 received chemotherapy, 11 received chemotherapy combined with TTT, 17 received chemotherapy combined with TTT and enucleation, and 2 received chemotherapy combined with freezing, 6 received chemotherapy combined with freezing and enucleation. After treatment, 58 eyes were salvaged, with a total salvage rate of 73.1% (57/78), and the eyes that preserved vision account for 64.1% (50/78). The eye salvage rate in each stage were 100.0% for stage A and B, 86.7% for stage C, and 94.1% for stage D, 35.7% for stage E. Twenty-four eyes were enucleated, with a total enucleation rate of 26.1% (24/92), and among 35 eyes at stage E, 21 eyes were enucleated, accounting for 60.0% (21/35). The average time of chemotherapy was 4.1±1.9 and the myelosuppressive effects of chemotherapy include leucopenia, thrombocytopenia and hemoglobinopenia. During the mean follow-up time of (35.4±23.8) months, 7 (15.2%) patients died, and 39 (84.8%) cases survived. The 5-year cumulative survival rate was 80.2%. Conclusion: Intravenous chemotherapy combined with local treatment has a good overall effect and plays an important role in the treatment of bilateral retinoblastoma. Intravenous chemotherapy leads to myelosuppression, and the myelosuppression gradually recovered after stopping intravenous chemotherapy.
