Results: 18 cases with IVC complications were detected by bedside ultrasound, including 6 cases of stenosis and 12 cases of thrombosis. Conclusion: Bedside ultrasound is important for diagnosing and monitoring IVC thrombosis and stenosis after liver transplantation, especially in the earlier period. It could provide valuable imaging for clinical diagnosis and treatment promptly.
Objective To determine the clinical efficacy of probucol in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) and elevated serum lipids after focal/grid laser photocoagulation. Methods A prospective randomized controlled study included 48 type 2 diabetic patients with DME and dyslipidemia which were randomly divided into three groups. For patients with bilateral disease only the more severe eye was included. All patients were subjected to strict metabolic and blood pressure control during enrollment. All cases received macular laser photocoagulation. Besides, sixteen patients in group A were treated with probucol, 16 members in group B with atorvastatin and 16 members in group C were not treated with any lipid-lowering therapy for about three months. The outcome measurements were status of macular edema and hard exudates, visual acuity, foveal thickness, serum lipids and urine 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) during the three months. Results The study included 20 men and 28 women with noninsulin dependent diabetes mellitus who could achieve good metabolic and blood pressure control within three months of inclusion in the study. Thirteen of 16 patients in group A, twelve of 16 patients in group B and five of 16 patients in group C showed reduction in hard exudates. Regression of macular edema was seen in twelve patients in group A, 11 in group B and eight in group C (χ2=2.368,P＞0.05). The difference of foveal thickness in group A, B and C was statistically significant (t=4.929, 4.669; P=0.000). Nine patients in group A, eight in group B and six in group C showed improving of visual acuity (χ2=1.169,P＞0.05). Three months after treatment, triglycerides (TG) (t=7.954, 6.832; P＜0.05), total cholesterol (TC) (t=6.643, 5.368; P＜0.05) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC) (t=3.279, 3.835; P＜0.05) decreased in group A and group B but not in group C, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol showed no significant difference in the three groups. 8-OHdG decreased gradually during the first and third month in group A and group B but not in group C. In the first month post treatment, 8-OHdG showed no difference between group A and group B. In the third month, the 8-OHdG was lower in group A than group B, and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.947,P＜0.05). ConclusionsIn type 2 diabetes patients with DME and dyslipidemia, oral probucol can reduce the severity of hard exudates and macular edema, improve the visual acuity, and inhibit the levels of TG, TC, LDLC and 5-OHdG. The effect of probucol was similar to atorvastatin. Probucol could be an adjunct treatment of those patients.
Objective To determine the expression of the growth factors and the receptors related to angiogenesis in the intraocular tissues incarcerating in the sclerotomy sites. Methods Ten specimens from prolapsing intraocular tissues in sclerotomy sites during vitrectomy were obtained and serially sectioned in cryostate and were stained with a group of polyclonal antibodies against vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), platelet-derived growth factor-A(PDGF-A) and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) as well as their receptors by using a streptavidin peroxidase system. Results The tissues prolapsed from the sclerotomy sites were identified as retina(3 cases), vitreous tissues(3 cases), degenerated red blood cell components(2 cases), ciliary body(one case) and fibrous tissue(one case). All specimens expressed VEGF and bFGF as well as their receptors. PDGF-A, TGF-β1 and their receptors expressed in the most of specimens. The positive cells included retinal cells, ciliary non-pigmented epithelial cells and pigmented epithelial cells, fibrous cells and the cells in vitreous. Conclusions The intraocular tissues incarcerated in the sclerotomy entries express the growth factors and receptors related to angiogenesis. This might be one of the potential factors of developing anterior proliferative vitreoretinopathy. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 34-37)
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of inverted internal limiting membrane (ILM) flap technique with autologous blood for myopic macular hole.MethodsA retrospective, case-controlled study. Twenty-nine eyes of 29 patients with myopic macular hole who received treatment in Eye Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 2017 to May 2019 were enrolled in this study. There were 5 males (5 eyes) and 24 females (24 eyes), with an average age of 55.28±11.40 years. According to the surgical method, the patients were divided into inverted ILM flap group (12 eyes) and ILM peeling group (17 eyes). All patients underwent BCVA, spectral domain OCT and axial length measurement before surgery. There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, gender, course of disease, hole diameter, BCVA and other baseline data. Follow-up was over 4 months after surgery. The BCVA, macular hole closure and continuity of outer retina after surgery were observed.ResultsIn ILM peeling group, 11 eyes were closed (64.7%) and 6 eyes were not closed at 3 months after surgery. In ILM flap group, 12 eyes were closed (100.0%). The difference of closure rate between two groups was statistically significant (χ2=5.34, P=0.028). The BCVA of inverted ILM flap group was significantly improved at 1, 3 months after surgery compared with preoperative measurements, and the difference was statistically significant (F=3.813, 4.667; P=0.003, 0.001). The BCVA of ILM peeling group was improved at 1 month after surgery, but the difference was not statistically significant (F=1.556, P=0.139). And the BCVA was significantly improved at 3 month after surgery compared with preoperative measurements, and the difference was statistically significant (F=2.453, P=0.026). But there was no significant difference in BCVA between the two groups at 1 and 3 months after surgery (F=0.647, 0.535; P=0.551, 0.612). There was no significant difference in the recovery of outer structure (ELM and EZ continuity) between the two groups at 3 month after surgery (F=0.008, P=0.631).ConclusionsInverted ILM flap technique with autologous blood is a safe and effective method to treat myopic macular hole. The closure rate of the hole can be improved significantly.
The reattachment rate, macular hole (MH) closure rate, visual acuity improvement and re-detachment rate of MH retinal detachment (MHRD) of high myopia are not satisfactory owing to long axis oculi, posterior scleral staphyloma and macular atrophy. At present, minimally invasive vitrectomy surgery combined with the internal limiting membrane flap technique has become popular in the treatment of MHRD, as it can promote MH closure, and significantly improve the outcome of MHRD. However if this method can improve the postoperative visual function is still controversial. The advantage of this technique is that the loosened internal limiting membrane is applied to cover the MH surface to form a scaffold structure similar to the basement membrane. It can stimulate Müller cell gliosis more effectively, and promote tissue filling in the MH which results in MH closure. It can also promote retinal reattachment and reduce the likelihood of retinal re-detachment. This technique is expected to be a standard surgical method for the treatment of MHRD of high myopia in the future. The inserted internal limiting membrane flap technique is relatively easy to perform, induces stable flaps by simple procedures, and can be an essential complement procedure of the inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique. In order to reduce the recurrence rate in the future, it is necessary to further define the indications of different surgical methods and the predictive effects of MH healing mode on the success rate and visual function recovery.
Objective To compare the short-term efficacy and long-term survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated by uniportal or three portal thoracoscopic radical resection. Methods A total of 388 patients who underwent uniportal or three portal thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Anhui Chest Hospital from 2015 to 2016 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups including an uniportal group and a three portal group according to the procedure. The clinicopathological features, perioperative data and long-term survival of the two groups were compared. Results Finally, we included 205 patients with 105 males and 100 females at an average age of 58.73±10.93 years. There were 102 patients in the uniportal group and 103 patients in the three portal group. There was no statistical difference in clinicopathological features between the two groups (P>0.05). But compared with the three portal group, the uniportal group had less postoperative drainage, shorter postoperative catheterization time and postoperative hospital stay (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the number of lymph node dissection stations between the two groups (P=0.058). The pain score at 24 hours after operation in the uniportal group was significantly lower than that in the three portal group (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in the total incidence of complications and the incidence of pulmonary complications between the two groups (P=0.161 and P=0.275). The median survival period and the 1st, 3rd, and 5th year survival rate in the uniportal group was 63.0 months and 95.0%, 75.2%, 51.5%, respectively. The median survival period and the 1st, 3rd, and 5th year survival rate in the three portal group was 61.0 months and 89.3%, 70.9%, 50.5%, respectively. There was no satistical difference in the survival results between the two groups (P=0.440). Conclusion Uniportal thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer is more minimally invasive and safe and effective in the treatment of NSCLC. It can make patients recover faster after operation.
Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of single and bilateral lung transplantation in the treatment of end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Chinese and English databases were searched by computer, including PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, EMbase, CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database and CBM. Case-control studies on single lung transplantation or bilateral lung transplantation for COPD were collected from the inception to July 31, 2022. We evaluated the quality of the literature via Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). All results were analyzed using Review Manager V5.3 and STATA 17.0. Results A total of 8 studies were included covering 14076 patients, including 8326 patients in the single lung transplantation group and 5750 patients in the bilateral lung transplantation group. NOS scores were≥6 points. The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no statistical difference in the postoperative 1-year survival between the two groups (P=0.070). The 2-year survival rate (P=0.002), 3-year survival rate (P<0.001), 5-year survival rate (P<0.001), overall survival rate (P＜0.001), postoperative forced expiratory volume in one second/predicted value (P<0.001), postoperative forced vital capacity (P<0.001), and postoperative 6-minute walking distance (P=0.002) were lower or shorter than those in the bilateral lung transplantation group, the postoperative intubation time (P=0.030) was longer than that in the bilateral lung transplantation group. Bilateral lung transplantation group showed better surgical results. There was no statistical difference in the mortality, obliterative bronchiolitis, length of hospitalization, primary graft dysfunction, or postoperative adverse events (P>0.05). Conclusion Bilateral lung transplantation is associated with better long-term survival and postoperative lung function compared with single lung transplantation. In-hospital mortality and postoperative complications are similar between them.
Objective To observe the clinical characteristics of ocular albinism type 1 (OA1) in China.Methods Sixteen patients with OA1 and eight female carriers (eight OA1 patients and four carriers were from the same family) were enrolled in this study. All subjects were examined for corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp microscopy and GPR143 gene mutation detection. Some subjects also received indirect ophthalmoscopy, photography of anterior segment and ocular fundus, retinoscopy and optical coherence tomography (OCT). Iris pigmentation was divided into type A, B and C according to the above findings. Type A: slight pigmentation; type B: uneven pigmentation; type C: large patch of hypo-pigmentation with hippus. Result The corrected visual acuity of 16 OA1 patients was from 0.1 to 0.3. All the OA1 patients have bilateral horizontal nystagmus without strabismus. All eight subjects received retinoscopy have medium to low hypermetropia and astigmatism. Type A, B and C iris pigmentation were found in eight (50.0%), seven (43.7%) and one (6.3%) patients, respectively. Two (25.0%) carriers have Type A iris pigmentation, and other six carriers (75.0%) were normal. There is no typical albinism retinopathy, however macular foveal structures were never found in these patients. Four carriers have fundus striate or uneven hypo-pigmentation. The macular foveal structure of all the carriers was normal. The macular foveal structure was not found in three subjects who underwent examination of OCT. GPR143 gene mutation was found in all the OA1 patients (100.0%) and all the carriers.Conclusions The major clinical characteristics of Chinese OA1 patients are foveal hypoplasia and GPR143 gene mutation.
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between the posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) and the diabetic macular edema (DME).MethodsA total of 169 eyes with DME which were diagnosed by funduscopy，fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were retrospectively analysed. PVD and partial PVD were detected by OCT and biomicroscopy. The characterizations of OCT images of DME were analysed.ResultsIn 169 eyes, 156 (92.3%) had no PVD with the average thickness of fovea of 297 μm; 11 (6.5%) had complete PVD with the average thickness of fovea of 229 μm; 2 (1.2%) had partial PVD with the average thickness of fovea of 347 μm.ConclusionsOnly a few PVD were found in DME eyes, so traction of PVD may not be the main cause of DME.
