简介:目的:探索相对稳定性强、一致性好的大鼠角膜碱烧伤动物模型。方法:将87只SD大鼠分为角膜缘碱烧伤20s组(A组。34只),角膜缘碱烧伤40s组(B组,23只),角膜中央碱烧伤40s组(C组,30只),用浸润1mol/L氢氧化钠的滤纸片,分别烧灼大鼠角膜缘和角膜中央,术后7d裂隙灯显微镜观察角膜透明度、角膜溃疡及角膜新生血管情况,并记录上述指标。结果:角膜缘碱烧伤(B组)较角膜中央烧伤(c组)溃疡发生率、角膜穿孔率和角膜上皮荧光素钠染色阳性率高,且有统计学差异(P〈0.05);角膜缘烧灼时间长组(B组)溃疡发生率及角膜穿孔率高于角膜缘烧灼时间短组(A组),且有统计学差异(P〈0.05);烧灼角膜缘和角膜中央(A,B,c组)均能诱导出角膜新生血管。结论:对于研究角膜新生血管的动物模型,以选择3mm圆形滤纸片角膜中央烧伤为佳;对于研究角膜缘干细胞缺乏所致角膜病变的实验,以选择环形滤纸片放置于角膜缘20s为佳。
简介:目的探讨两种不同手术方式治疗翼状胬肉对泪液功能的影响及影响因素。方法选取翼状胬肉患者40例(40只眼)随机分成两组:A组20个病人(20只眼)翼状胬肉切除联合冻干羊膜移植术;B组20+病人(20只眼)翼状胬肉切除联合带自体角膜缘干细胞结膜瓣移植术。术前,术后1mo,术后3mo行泪膜破裂时间(BUT)、泪液分泌试验(SchirmerI)、角膜荧光素染色(CSF),评价翼状胬肉及翼状胬肉切除术后泪膜功能变化对患者生活质量的影响。结果两组病人术后lmoBUT缩短,角膜荧光素染色增多,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05),而术后SchirmerI与术前相比无统计学意义,两组术后3moBUT,SchirmerI,CFS与术前相比无统计学意义,翼状胬肉切除联合带自体角膜缘干细胞结膜瓣移植术组术后早期泪膜稳定性优于翼状胬肉切除联合冻干羊膜移植术,差异具有统计学意义∞〈0.05)。结论翼状胬肉切除术早期对泪膜功能有影响。翼状胬肉切除联合带自体角膜缘干细胞结膜瓣移植术早期对泪膜的影响小于翼状胬肉切除联合冻干羊膜移植术。
简介:目的:探讨机械性眼外伤的临床特征及诊疗结果分析。方法:收集我院收治的机械性眼外伤122例122眼的临床资料,进行记录及回顾性分析。结果:机械性眼外伤122例中,开放性眼外伤116眼(95.1%),闭合性眼外伤6眼(4.9%),男女之比6.18∶1,机械性眼外伤以眼球开放性损伤为最多,致伤多以异物为主,经过及时手术治疗,全部保住了眼球,与入院视力相比,出院视力得到明显提高。结论:工作和生产意外是机械性眼外伤的主要原因,病情复杂,合并症多,后果严重,应加强防范。及时的医院就诊和眼科显微手术技术的提高及玻璃体视网膜手术的开展是挽救伤眼视力、降低机械性眼外伤并发症的有效措施。
简介:目的:通过对比姜黄素与Avastin抑制大鼠碱烧伤后角膜新生血管(cornealneovascularization,CNV)及血管内皮生长因子(vascularendothelialgrowthfactor,VEGF)表达水平的影响,进一步探讨姜黄素抑制CNV形成的机制。方法:选取SD大白鼠共30只,建立碱烧伤模型,随机将大鼠分成A,B两组,各15只,A组中右眼为实验组A1组,左眼为空白对照组A2;B组中右眼为实验组B1,左眼为空白对照组B2。A1组给予40μmol/L姜黄素配置成的滴眼液,A2组滴用生理盐水;B1组给予5g/LAvastin滴眼液,B2组滴用生理盐水。根据不同时间点取角膜组织进行病理切片研究、抽取房水进行ELISA测定,计算出每视野计数微新生血管及房水中VEGF含量。对以上指标进行对比分析研究。结果:两种药物均未发现在角膜水肿、角膜修复等方面的毒副作用。对新生血管的影响,两种药物CNV计数均明显低于空白对照组(P〈0.01),两种药物之间对新生血管影响的对照,平均CNV计数无显著性区别。A1组与A2组对比、B1组与B2组对比,实验组VEGF均明显低于对照组,有高度显著性统计学意义(P〈0.01),A1组与B1组对照,平均VEGF含量A1组高于B1组,有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:姜黄素的VEGF抑制能力可能不如Avastin,但在整体抗CNV的能力上并不输于Avastin,说明姜黄素还参与了干预角膜碱烧伤CNV形成的其他机制。
简介:目的分析剥脱综合征(ES)患者和正常人眼轴及中央前房深度与眼压的相关性。方法2010年1月~2012年1月间来本院就诊的Es患者106例(106眼)、正常人69例(69眼),均为维吾尔族。观察Es眼和非ES眼眼轴长度、中央前房深度及眼压有无差异,分析眼轴及中央前房深度与眼压的相关性。结果ES患者眼轴长度为(22.89±0.91)mm,正常人眼轴长度为(23.12±0.97)mm,差异无统计学意义(P=0.12);ES患者前房深度为(2.84±0.41)mm,正常人前房深度为(2.93±0.39)mm,差异无统计学意义(P=0.14);ES患者眼压为(26.72±15.70)mmHg(1mmHg=0.133kPa),正常人眼压为(14.39±2.19)mmHg,差异有统计学意义(P=0.00)。Es患者眼轴与眼压具有相关性(r=-0.412,P=0.00);正常人眼轴与眼压不具有相关性(r=-0.102,P=0.405)。ES患者中央前房深度与眼压具有相关性(r=-0.33,P=0.001);正常人中央前房深度与眼压不具有相关性(r=-0.102,P=0.406)。结论维吾尔族ES患者的眼压较正常人高,其眼轴及中央前房深度与眼压具有负相关性。(中国眼耳鼻喉科杂志,2013,13:170—172)
简介:目的:比较非球面和球面人工晶状体植入术后波前像差、裸眼远视力、最佳矫正远视力、对比度视力的差异。方法:年龄相关性白内障患者46例50眼,将其随机分成两组,球面人工晶状体组(A组)23例24眼术中植入ACR6DSE球面人工晶状体;非球面人工晶状体组(B组)23例26眼术中植入具有负球面像差Acri.Smart36A非球面人工晶状体。术后3mo,观察两组患者的裸眼视力、最佳矫正视力、暗背景(25cd/m2)和高亮背景(255cd/m2)下的对比度视力、瞳孔直径(6mm)时的球面像差、彗差和高阶像差的均方根是否存在差异。结果:两组患者术后裸眼远视力、最佳矫正远视力比较差异无统计学意义,亮背景下各对比度视力以及暗背景下100%,25%对比度视力两组比较差异无统计学意义,暗背景下5%,10%低对比度时B组视力好于A组。瞳孔直径6mm时,B组高阶像差的均方根(RMS)、球差、彗差和A组比较差异均有统计学意义,B组RMS、球差、彗差低于A组。结论:Acri.Smart36A非球面人工晶状体植入术后与ACR6DSE球面人工晶状体比较可以明显的减少患者的高阶像差,改善患者的术后暗环境下的低对比度视力。
简介:目的:观察翼状胬肉切除联合角膜缘干细胞移植及术后药物治疗翼状胬肉的临床疗效。方法:共行翼状胬肉切除联合角膜缘干细胞移植术治疗的翼状胬肉患者760例980眼。选取亚复发期的162例162眼进行观察,随机分为A,B两组,A组滴1g/L丝裂霉素C+诺氟沙星滴眼液1~3mo;B组交替滴地塞米松滴眼液、双氯芬酸钠滴眼液1~3mo。结果:A组痊愈67眼(81.7%),亚复发12眼(14.6%),复发3眼(3.7%)。B组痊愈35眼(43.8%),亚复发29眼(36.3%),复发16眼(20.0%)。A组复发率明显低于B组(P〈0.01)。结论:翼状胬肉切除联合自体角膜缘干细胞移植术,无排斥反应、安全有效、术后复发率低,术后给予滴眼液后续治疗尤为重要,更能有效地抑制和降低翼状胬肉术后的复发率,能明显提高治疗效果。
