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：研究αB-晶体蛋白对大鼠急性高眼压后视网膜组织中αB-晶体蛋白含量,视网膜神经节细胞（retinalganglioncells,RGCs）中生长相关蛋白-43（growthassociatedprotein-43,GAP-43）表达和全视野视网膜电流图（full-fieldERG,F-ERG）的b波振幅差异,探讨αB-晶体蛋白对急性高眼压后RGCs轴突再生的影响。方法：采用随机分组设计的实验研究。本实验选择120只健康、无眼疾SD大鼠,随机分为以下4组：αB晶体蛋白组（αB）30只,生理盐水组（S）30只,假手术组（P）30只,急性高眼压组（H）30只,均以右眼为实验眼,分别于术后7d和14d各取5只术眼的视网膜,行Western-blot法,观察急性高眼压后视网膜中αB-晶体蛋白的表达;术后7,14,21d各取5只术眼的视网膜,行免疫组织化学法,观察急性高眼压后RGCs的GAP-43表达;术前和术后1mo时应用全视野ERG的b波振幅变化测定视网膜功能。组间数据比较采用单因素方差分析（One-wayANOVA）,组间两两比较采用SNK-q检验。结果：αB组视网膜中αB-晶体蛋白的表达于术后7d较高,14d时表达减弱（P=0.000）,但同一时间点明显高于其他三组（P=0.006,P=0.024,P=0.007;P=0.006,P=0.008,P=0.010）;αB组RGCs的GAP-43表达于术后7d达高峰,14d时表达减弱,21d时仍有少量表达（P=0.000）,但各时间点明显高于其他三组（P=0.001,P=0.002,P=0.001;P=0.015,P=0.002,P=0.006;P=0.005,P=0.003,P=0.005）;ERG-b波振幅于术后1mo较低（P=0.014,P=0.004,P=0.003,P=0.006）,其中术前各组ERG-b波振幅无明显差异（P=0.993）,术后1mo时αB组ERG-b波振幅明显高于其他三组（P=0.000,P=0.004,P=0.002）。结论：外源性αB-晶体蛋白能够提高视网膜αB-晶体蛋白的表达;αB-晶体蛋白通过促进RGCs中GAP-43的表达,从而促进RGCs的轴突再生;αB-晶体蛋白可促进视网膜功能的恢复,对大鼠视网膜无毒性作用。

简介：目的比较急性中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变（CSC）的患侧与对侧眼视网膜频域相干光断层扫描（OCT）的图像特征。方法应用频域OCT对30例（60眼）单眼发病急性CSC患者患侧和对侧眼的黄斑部视网膜显微结构进行检测，比较患侧组与对侧组黄斑中心凹外核层厚度、光感受器层（IS／OS层）、视网膜色素上皮（RPE）形态差异。结果所有30例患者患侧眼均有不同程度黄斑部视网膜浆液性脱离，对侧眼中有4眼（13．3％）存在轻度视网膜浆液性脱离；患侧组黄斑中心凹外核层厚度均值为（95．32±24．87）μm，对侧组为（98．80±14．36）μm，两组差异无统计学意义（t=1．627，P=0．110）。患侧组中IS／OS层厚度均匀一致者12眼（40．0％），对侧组20眼（66．7％）；患侧组IS／OS层厚度均匀一致伴内外节缺损、不均、凸起增厚者共18眼（60．O％），对侧组共10眼（33．3％），差异有统计学意义（X2=4．28，P=0．038）。患侧组中出现RPE异常者有24眼（80．0％），对侧组中有8眼（26．7％），差异有统计学意义（x。=17．143，P=0．000）。结论频域OCT能清晰显示急性CSC患者的细微病理结构改变，单眼发病CSC患者中一部分对侧眼存在IS／OS层和RPE异常，但是其发生率较患侧眼低。（中国眼耳鼻喉科杂志，2013，13：165—167）

简介：目的探讨白内障超声乳化术对小梁切除术后的白内障患者角膜内皮细胞的影响.方法选取30例曾行小梁切除术的白内障患者为研究组,另选取30例年龄相关性白内障患者作为对照组.分别在术前、术后3个月检测两组患者的角膜内皮细胞密度,角膜内皮细胞大小变异系数,六边形细胞百分比.并应用SPSS统计软件进行统计学分析.结果术后3个月研究组的角膜内皮细胞密度减少265.81个/mm2（11.4％）,对照组减少72.88个/mm2（4.3％）,两组之间差异具有统计学意义（P=0.000）,六边形细胞百分比较对照组低,且差异具有统计学意义.两组患者的细胞变异系数之间无差异.结论白内障超声乳化联合人工晶体植入术后3个月,小梁切除术后的白内障患者角膜内皮细胞损失较正常年龄相关性白内障患者严重,且恢复慢.因此术前应行角膜内皮细胞检查,严格掌握手术适应症；术中注意操作技巧,减少对角膜内皮的损伤.
