OBJECTIVE:To verify the safe dose of cephradine in intravitreal injection.
METHODS:After injecting different doses of cephradine(100mu;g,200mu;g,250mu;g,300mu;g,400mu;g)into vitreous cavity of different group of rabbits the activities of the retinal enzymes (SDH,LDH )on different time (Id,3d, 7d ) were determined respectively, and the histological and ultrastructural changes of retinas were also observed simuhaneously.
RESULTS:The activity of rellnal SDH and LDH was found to be decreased gradually with tbe icreasing of the dosage of intravitreal cephradine. The activities of SDH and LDH were found in the lowest level on tile 3rd and lsl day,but they recover to normal levels on tile 7th day after intravitreal in}eetion in 100mu;g,200mu;g groups,and still lower tban normal in the other groups. Histologically,retinal edema was found both in 100mu;g and 200mu;g groups,but degradation of retinal cells,and loss of cones and rods were round in the 250mu;g, 300mu;g and 400mu;g groups.
CONCLUSION: The safe dose of intravitreal injection of cepbradlnc is 200mu;g.

Objective To observe the efficacy of vitrectomy for vitreous hemorrhage in patients with polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV). Methods Fourteen patients (14 eyes) of PCV with vitreous hemorrhage diagnosed by routine ophthalmologic examination, A and/or B mode ultrasound, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) were enrolled in this study. The patients included eight males (eight eyes) and six females (six eyes), with the mean age of (58.7plusmn;6.0) years. All patients received vitrectomy with silicone oil and C3F8 gas tamponade. There were eight eyes received photodynamic therapy (PDT) after surgery. The retinal reattachment, visual acuity, pathological lesion degree and complications were comparatively analyzed. Results Among 14 eyes, six eyes (42.9%) recovered, seven eyes (50.0%) improved, and one eye (7.1%) aggravated. Ten eyes achieved retinal reattachment after surgery, while four eyes developed retinal detachment after the first surgery. The retina remained attached in these three eyes after silicon oil tamponade, C3F8 gas tamponade and scleral buckling, respectively; but one eye maintained silicon oil without special treatment. Thirteen eyes (92.9%) achieved retinal reattachment finally. Five eyes of them occurred hyphema one to seven days after surgery, but hyphema was absorbed and intraocular pressure was stable after douche of anterior chamber and pharmacotherapy. The vision improved with more than two lines in one eyes, improved with one to two lines in one eye, unchanged in 10 eyes, and decreased in two eyes. Of eight eyes who underwent PDT, abnormal vessels regressed in five eyes, abnormal vessels remained in three eyes. Conclusions Vitrectomy can remove cloudy refracting media for PCV with vitreous hemorrhage. The combined treatment of vitrectomy and PDT can improve or stabilize visual function,is an effective therapy for the PCV with vitreous hemorrhage.
Purpose
To explore the role of scanning laser tomography in the assessment of macular hole surgery.
Methods
Fifteen eyes of 14 patients with macular holes underwent scanning of their affected macular area using the Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT). The significance of topographic changes postoperatively were determined in eleven eyes which received vitrectomy surgery. The scan field was set at 15°of the retina and the depth was set to 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm. All the measurements were taken for 3 times and the average value of the 3 measurements was used.
Results
The average hole area was (0.499±0.34) mm 2 and the maximal depth of the hole was (0.284±0.11) mm. Topographic difference analysis of the eleven eyes showed a significant reduction in the height of the retina after vitrectomy. The maximal depth of the hole was (0.063±0.04) mm postoperatively.
Conclusion
Scanning laser tomography provides an objective evaluation of the anatomic outcome of the macular hole surgery.

ObjectiveTo analyse the effect of vitrectomy in diagnosing and treating endogenous endophthalmitis. MethodsThe effects of treatment, prognosis and the final follow-up visual acuity of 22 patients (30 eyes) with endogenous endophthalmitis diagnosed in our hospital from Jan 2000 to Dec 2003 were retrospectively reviewed.ResultsIn 21 patients who underwent blood or vitreous body smear and culture, 18 (86%) had a positive result, including bacteria in 6, fungi in 11, and mixed infection in 1. In 16 patients who had complete follow-up data, successful vitrectomy were performed on 13 (81.3%) including 6 with functional success.ConclusionVitrectomy may improve the positive rate of culture and vision prognosis in patients with endogenous endophthalmitis.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2005,21:142-144)
Objective To observe the safety and efficacy of posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) induced by combined intravetreal injection of lysineplasminogen and reteplase in rabbits.Methods Fifteen healthy New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups with five rabbits in each. Take the right eyes as experimental eyes，while the left eyes as the control. The experimental eyes of three groups received combined intravetreal injection of 1250 mu;g/ml lysineplasminogen at 0.1 ml dose and 104U，3times;104U，105U reteplase at 0.05 ml dose recpectively, while the control eyes were injected intravetreally with 0.15 ml balanced salt solution. The conjunctiva, anterior chamber, lens, vitreous body, and retina were examined by slit lamp microscope and +120D preset lens. The retinal function was examined by electroretinogram (ERG).Results All the experimental eyes had PVD. The results of optical microscope showed that no change in retinal structure was found in the control group and 104 U reteplase group, clear retinal hierarchical but decreased ganglion cells and kernel layer cells were found in 3times;104 U reteplase group, only retinal pigment epithelium layer but no normal retinal structure was observed in 105U reteplase group. The results of ERG showed that compared the maximum mixed reaction of a and b wave amplitude in control group and reteplase group respectively, the difference was not statistically siginificant between 104U reteplase group and control group(a wave：t=0.881，-1.773，0.809；b-wave：t=-0.223，-0.441，1.400；P＞0.05),the differences were statistically siginificant between 3times;104 U(a wave：t=-3.20，b-wave：t=-4.182，-4.103),105 U reteplase group(a wave：t=-0.737，b wave：t=-15.150，6.597)and control group(P＜0.05). The control eyes didnprime;t had PVD.Conclusion Combined intravetreal injection of lysine-plasminogen and reteplase can induce complete PVD, and no damage to the retinal structure in rabbits.
Objective To observe the effect of medicineinduced posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR). Methods PVR was induced in the left eyes of 24 pigmented rabbits by intravitreal injection with platelet rich plasma. The rabbits were randomly divided into two experimental groups (group A and B) and one control group with 8 eyes in each group. Three hours later, the eyes in group A and B and the control group underwent intravireal injection with 1 U plasmin 0.05 ml+20 U hyaluronidase 0.05 ml, plasmin 0.1 ml, and balance salt solution 0.1 ml, respectively. The grade of PVR was recorded 1, 7, and 28 days after the intravitreal injection, and the eyes were examined by flash electroretinogram (FERG), B-scan, and retinal histopathological examination. Results The PVR models of rabbit eyes were induced successfully. On the 7th day after injection, complete and partial PVD was found in 5 and 3 eyes respectively in group A; partial PVD in 5 eyes and no complete PVD was observed in group B; there was no PVD in the other 3 eyes in group B and also in the eyes in the control group. On the 28th day after intravitreal injection, PVR grade of group A and B were both obviously lower than that of the control group（D=75.6, 98.9；P=0.003，P=0.011）; On the 7th and 28th day after injection, the b-wave amplitude in group A and B was significantly higher than that in the control group; PVR grade of the PVD eyes was lower than that of nonPVD eyes; PVR grade of the complete PVD eyes was only 0～1. Conclusions Three hours after the PVR models of rabbit eyes were induced, complete PVD induced by intravitreal injection of plasmin combined with hyaluronidase could prevent the development of PVR of rabbit eyes in some degree; partial PVD induced by plasmin alone or combined with hyaluronidase could relieve the development of PVR.
Objective To investigate the effect of retinectomy 360° for severe ocular rupture and evaluate the related factors associated w ith prognosis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 28 consecutive patients (28 eyes), 18 men and 10 women, with severe ocular rupture admitted to the Chinese PLA General Hospital between January 1999 and October 2002. The patient′s ages ragned from 16 to 58 years, mean 29 years. According to the internation standardized classification of ocular trauma, the injuries located in zone I in 5 eyes, zone I-II in 8 eyes，zone II in 3 eyes, zone II-IIIⅢ in 5 eyes, zone III in 7 eyes, zone II in 3 eyes, zone II-III in 5 eyes and zone III in 7 eyes. The presenting visual acuity was in grade 4 (0.02 to light perception) in 19 eyes, and grade 5 in 9 eyes. In 28 patients, 13 had the total absence of iris and lens, 10 had iris deletion more than 1/2, and 15 had lens opacity or rupture. Ultrasound biomicroscopy and B-scan revealed ciliochoroidal detachment in 17 eyes. The B-scan revealed vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment in all paitents. The intraocular pressure was from 5 to 11 mm Hg in all patients. The therappeutic operative procedures which were performed by one surgeon in all of the affected eyes included standard 3-port pars plana vitrectomy with scleral encircling buckle, endophotocoagulation and tamponading with silicone oil in all patients; lensectomy in 15 eyes; 360° retinotomy and retinectomy at anterior equator in 16 patients, and posterior equator in 12 eyes.Results During the operation, all patients were confirmed with vitreous hemorrhage and retinal detachment, including hemorrhagic ciliary body detachment in 9 eyes, suprachoroidal hemorrha ge in 12 eyes, retinal twisting like morning glory in 11 eyes, and retinal incarceration in 17 eyes. Postoperative follow-up In 26 eyes who were followed up postoperatively from 6 months to 46 months, retinal reattachment was found in 20 patients (76.9%) in whom the retina of 3 was reattached after revitrectomy and the silicone oil of 8 was removed at the fourth month after operation. In 20 eyes with reattached retina, 14 (70.0%) had corrected visual acuity of 0.02 or more, including 7 (35.0%) had 0.05 or more, 3 had 0.1 or mor e, and 1 had the best visual acuity of 0.3.Conclusion Retine ctomy may improve the prognosis of severe ocular rupture and save the visual fun ction of some patients.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：333-404)
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after minimal vitrectomy without endotamponade for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).MethodsFrom June 2015 to June 2017, 103 eyes of 103 patients with PDR diagnosed and underwent minimalvitrectomy in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in the study. There were 58 males and 45 females, with the average age of 58.37±10.14 years and diabetes duration of 8.7±7.2 years. Baseline systemic parameters including sex, age, diabetes duration, hypertension, HbA1c, creatinine, whether received anticoagulants, ocular parameters including whether combined with vitreous hemorrhage, whether finished panretinal photocoagulation (PRP), whether received treatment of anti-VEGF, whether combined with iris neovascularization (NVI), lens status preoperatively, whether hypotony postoperatively and intraoperative parameters including whether disc neovascularization (NVD) bleeding, whether fibrovascular membrane (FVM) residual, laser points, whether combined with cataract phacoemulsification were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsTwenty-nine of 103 eyes (28.15%) developed PVH in 1 day to 6 months after surgery, with self absorption of 18 eyes and reoperation of 11 eyes. Univariate analysis showed there were significant differences in age (t=2.124, P=0.036), anti-VEGF(χ2=7.105, P=0.008), NVD bleeding (χ2=10.158, P=0.001) and FVM residual(χ2=8.445, P=0.004) between patients with and without postoperative vitreous hemorrhage. Sex (χ2=0.021, P=0.884), diabetes duration (t=0.87, P=0.386), hypertension (χ2=2.004, P=0.157), HbA1c (t=1.211, P=0.229), creatinine (t=0.851, P=0.397), preoperative oral anticoagulants (χ2=0.985, P=0.321), preoperative vitreous hemorrhage (χ2=0.369, P=0.544), PRP (χ2=1.122, P=0.727), NVI (χ2=2.635, P=0.105), lens status (χ2=0.172, P=0.679), hypotony postoperatively (χ2=1.503, P=0.220), laser points (χ2=1.391, P=0.238) and combined phacoemulsification surgery (χ2=0.458, P=0.499) were not associated with PVH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the more PVH appeared in younger (OR=1.065, P=0.009) and NVD bleeding (OR=6.048, P=0.001) patients.ConclusionYounger age and NVD bleeding are the important risk factors for PVH after minimal vitrectomy without endotamponade in PDR.

Objective
To detect the effects of plasmin combined with hyaluronidase or hexafluoride SF6 on inducing posterior vitreous detachment (PVD).
Methods
Eighteen young pigmented rabbits were randomly divided into group A, B, and C with 6 rabbits in each. All of the right eyes were the experimental eyes and the left ones was the control. The right eyes in group A, B, and C were injected with plasmin 1 U, plasmin 1 U and hyaluronidase 20 U, and plasmin 1 U and SF6 0.5 ml, respectively; while all of the left eyes underwent intra-vitreous injection with balanced salt solution 0.1 ml. The eyes were observed by indirect ophthalmoscopy, slit lamp examination, biomicroscopy, B-ultrasonography, and electroretinography (ERG) before and after injection respectively. At last, the retinal sections were examined by light microscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
Results
The results of scanning microscopy showed incomplete PVD in 2 (33.3%) experimental eyes in group A, and complete PVD in 4 (66.7%) experimental eyes in both group B and C, and the positive rate of PVD in both group B and C significantly differed from that in group A (Plt;0.05). The b-wave amplitudes of ERG in the three groups after injection didn’t differ much from that in the control group or before the injection（Pgt;0.05）. The results of transmission electron microscopy and light microscopy indicated unchanged retinal structure.
Conclusions
Compared with the application of only plasmin, plasmin combined with hyaluronidase or hexafluoride SF6 can induce complete PVD more efficiently and do no harm to the retina.
