Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
PURPOSE: To produce monoclonal antibodies directed against tumor-associated antigens expressed of retinoblastoma-derived tissue culture cell line SO-RBS0. METHODS:Hybridization was performed and the specificity of the antibody was tested by immunofluorescent and immunohistochemical methods. RESULTS:Two hybridomas secreted specific monoclonal antibody against retinoblastoma cells were produced ,and the isotype of the monoclonal antibody was IgG2a CONCLUION:The monoclonal antibodies were specific and highly active against retinoblastoma cells and might be used as immunoconjugate.
PURPOSE:To evaluate the ability Of retinoic acid(RA) in silicon oil(SiO)to inhibit the proliferation of injected intraocular fibroblast cells. METHODS:Thirty New Zealand white rabbits (58 eyes)were divided into three groups. In control group ,only SiO(10 eyes)or BSS(10 eyes)were injected intravitreally and 5mu;g/ml (18 eyes)or 10mu;g/ml (20 eyes)RA in SiO were injected into other lwo groups respectively. Three days after gas-compression vitrectomy, 2 times;105 fibroblasts and Sio(0.5ml)or BSS(0.5ml)were injected in all eyes sequentially.The morbidity of tractional retinal detachment (TRD) were observed by ophthalmoscope until 4 weeks. RESULTS:After 4 weeks,in control ,5mu;g/ml RA in SiO and 10mu;g/ml RA in SiO group,80. 00%,44.44%,and 30.00% eyes developed TRD respectively. Significant statistical differences were found between the control group and the two treated groups (P＜0.05). CONCLUSIONS:5mu;g/ml or 10mu;g/ml RA in SiO can inhibit the occurrence of TRD effectively. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13:174-176）
Objective To evaluate and compare the prognosis of idiopathic macular holes (IMH) and traumatic macular holes (TMH) treated by pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).Methods The clinical data of 72 IMH eyes and 55 TMH eyes, which were treated by PPV between November 2001 and December 2007, were retrospectively reviewed. The visual outcomes and macular anatomic closure were evaluated, and their relationships with prognostic factors including the size of macular hole (MH), preoperative visual acuity (VA) and duration of disease were analyzed.Results The closure rate of IMH (100.0%) was significant higher than that of TMH (85.5%) (P=0.001). The postoperative VA of IMH and TMH were (0.25plusmn;0.02) and (0.21plusmn;0.21) respectively,both significantly increased compare to their preoperative VA (t=-6.841,-4.093; P=0.000). VAincreased IMH and TMH eyes had same VA （chi;2=3.651，P=0.07）. PrePPV VAge;0.1 IMH eyes had better outcomes than PrePPV VA＜0.1 IMH eyes （chi;2=12.04, P=0.001）, while PrePPV VA had no effects on TMH outcomes （chi;2=0.371，P=0.486）. IMH eyes with small holes had better outcomes （t=2.476，P=0.016）, and TMH eyes with small holes had better closure （t=-4.042, P＜0.001）. The duration of disease had no significant influence on TMH visual （chi;2=0.704, P=0.401） and anatomic （chi;2=0.166, P=0.684） outcomes. Conclusions PPV is an effective treatment for MH. The closure rate of IMH is higher than that of TMH. The diameter of MH and preoperative VA are major factors for IMH outcomes, and the duration of disease and preoperative VA have no effects on postoperative VA in TMH.
Objective To explore an effect of the artificial nerve graft wrapped in the pedicled greater omentum on the early revascularization and an effectof the increased blood supply to the artificial nerve graft on the nerve regeneration. Methods Seventy-five rabbits were randomized into 3 groups, in which there were 2 experimental groups where the rabbits were made to abridge respectively with the artificial nerve grafts wrapped in the pedicled greater omentum (Group A) and with the artificial nerve grafts only (Group B), and the control group where the rabbits were abridged with the autologous nerve (Group C).On the 3rd, 7th and 14th days after operation, the evans blue bound to albumin (EBA) was injected into the vessels in all the grafts to show their revascularization. Twelve weeks after operation the nerve regeneration was evaluated with theelectrophysiological and histological observations on the serial sections, and was evaluated also with the transmission electron microscope. Results The artificial nerve grafts wrapped in the pedicled greater omentum in Group A and the autologous nerve grafts in Group C showed a beginning of revascularization on the3rd day after operation, and the revascularization was increased on the 7th and14th days. Compared with Groups A and C, the artificial nerve grafts in Group Bshowed a delayed revascularization on the7th day after operation. At 12 weeks after operation, there were no significant differences in the motor never conduction velocity, density of the regenerated myelinated nerve fibers, myelin sheath thickness, and diameter between Group A and Group C(Pgt;0.05). However, both Group A and Group C were superior to Group B in the above variables, with significant differences(Plt;0.05). Conclusion Utilization of the pedicled greater omentum to wrapthe artificialnerve grafts can promote an early revascularization of the artificial nerve graft and an early nerve regeneration of the artificial nerve graft because of an enhanced blood supply to the nerve graft.
