  • Functional MRI for patients with visual pathway diseases

      Objective To observe the results of function MRI and perimetry in patients with visual pathway diseases.Methods Three patients (6 eyes) with pituitary adenoma and craniopharyngioma diagnosed via pathological examination and three healthy volunteers aged from 24 to 30 were collected. The best corrected visual acuity was nonlight perception1.0 in the 6 sick eyes and 1.0 in the healthy eyes; all the involved individuals had no other ocular diseases except myopia and without any contraindications of MRI. Common tests including the best visual acuity, fundus test by direct or indirect ophthalmoscope, center static visual field tested by Octopus 101 perimeter, program 32, tendency oriented perimetry were performed. The visual stimulation subtended a field of view of about 12 degrees,consisted of high contrast and drifting checkerboards. MRI parameters: GE signa VH/i 30T scanner. Functional data: GRE-EPI sequence,20 slices lying perpendicular to the calcarine sulcus. Anatomical data was obtained using 3DSPGR sequence to acquire high resolution. The cortical surface was unfolded and then cut and inflated. Functional data was presented to the inflated surface and subsequently analyzed by AFNI software.Results In six eyes, three had temporal defects, two had upper temporal visual field defects, and the other one did not finish the visual field test. The retinotopic representations of health adults were obtained by using the phaseencoded visual stimulation. The Eccentricity coordinate maps showed that foveal representations lay in the occipital poles and the representations appeared further anterior as eccentricity increased. The polar angle coordinate maps showed that early retinotopically organized areas had a representation of visual field. The visual cortex beneath the calcarine sulcus matched with the upper visual field of the opposite side and which upon the calcarine sulcus matched with the under visual field of the opposite side. Less or no visual cortex response was revealed in the patients′ function MRI or the response in injury side was vanished. The visual cortex response related with the visual field defects could not be induced in function MRI.Conclusion There is a good correlation between function MRI data and the results of perimetric evaluation. The function MRI can show the visual cortex response correlated with the visual field defects of the patients with visual pathway diseases.

  • A study of blue-on-yellow perimetry in the early diagnosis of primary open-angle glaucoma 

    Objective To evaluate the applic ation of blue-on-yellow(B/Y) perimetry in detecting the early visual field loss of glaucoma. Methods The B/Y perimetry of the G2 strategy in the OCTOPUS 101 perimetry was used to examine the visual field of 16 normal persons (32 eyes), 25 cases (35 eyes) of primary open-angle glau coma (POAG) with abnormal white-on-white (W/W) visual fields, 15 cases (15 eye s) of early POAG with normal W/W visual field, and 11 cases (22 eyes) of suspect ed POAG. Results The mean sensitivity (MS) in the normal cases, suspected POAG, early POAG, middle POAG, and late POAG was ( 23.24plusmn;1.22) dB,(20.97plusmn;3.42) dB,(18.44plusmn;3.57) dB,(11.04plusmn;1.85) dB and (8.55plusmn;2.29) dB, respectively. It was demonstrated that B/Y perimetry was more sensitive than W/W perimetry in detecting the glaucomatous visual fi eld defects,and its sensitivity was 92% and specificity was 90.62%. The averag e number of defective points in central visual field with B/Y perimetry was more than that with W/W perimetry in early and middle POAG. Conclusion B/Y perimetry is a relatively sensitive method for detection of the early visual field loss in POAG. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:125-127)

  • The experimental study of glutamate neurotoxicity on inner stratum retinal neurons

    Objective To investigate the glutamate toxicity on inner stratum retinal neurons(ISRN) and the neurotoxicity quantity-efficacy relation. Method Retinal explants obtained from 30 neonatal mices were implanted into two pieces of 24-well culture plates (48 wells). The 48 wells were divided into three groups: control group, glutamate exposure 24 h group, and glutamate exposure with further lasting 6 h group. The retinal explants were sectioned, and then stained with HE after 24 h in vitro. The cells in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) layer and inner nuclear layer (INL) were analyzed by light microscope at 1 000times; magnification , and the number of normal morphological cells was counted under three 1 000times; magnificat ion fields. Results Some cells in ISRN (include RGCs and INL c ells) showed pykno tic nuclei and necrosis after 24 h in control culture. Glutamate exposure 24 h group:at the 2 mmol and 4 mmol concentrations of glutamate, the situation of the normal morphological cells in ISRN had no difference from that of the control group (Pgt;0.05). At the concentration of glutamate more than or equal to 6 mmol, the number of normal morphological cells in ISRN was significantly less than that of the control group (Plt;0.05), and with the increase of glutamate concentration, the number of normal morphological cells was reduced. Glutamate exposure with fur ther lasting 6 h group: at the concentration of glutamate equal to 6 mmol, the n umber of normal morphological cells in INL was significantly less than that of the control group (Plt;0.05), while the number of normal morphological cells in RGCs layer had no difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). At the concentration of glutamate more than or equal to 8 mmol, the number of normal morphological cels in RGC s layer and INL was significantly less than that of the control group (Plt;0.05 ). Conclusion Glutamate has the neurotoxicity for ISRN in vitro, and the effect is dose-dependant. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,17:311-314)

  • A retrospective study of ocular manifestations and aquaporin 4 antibody concentrations in 132 patients with neuromyelitis optica

    ObjectiveTo observe the ocular manifestations and the titer of aquaporin 4 antibody (AQP-4) in NMO patients, and to evaluate the BCVA prognosis in patients with different titers of AQP-4Ab.MethodsA retrospective case study. From September 2009 to March 2014, 132 NMO patients diagnosed in Department of Neurology and Ophthalmology in Huashan Hospital of Fudan University were included in the study. Among the patients, 74 patients (56.06%) were involved in optic nerve for the first time, among which 63 patients (47.72%) were involved in optic nerve alone, and 11 patients (8.33%) were involved in optic nerve and spinal cord at the same time. The recurrence rate was 62.88% (twice or more). All patients underwent BCVA, slit lamp microscope, fundus examination, thyroid function, sex hormones, and serum AQP-4Ab detection. BCVA was recorded at admission and before discharge from hospital, and worse BCVA was recorded in binocular patients. The BCVA of patients with different titers of AQP-4Ab were analyzed comparatively.ResultsAmong the 74 patients with optic nerve involved in the first onset, 50 patients with BCVA<0.1 at the initial diagnosis (67.57%); AQP-4Ab positive was found in 56 patients, which including 13, 9 and 34 patients of AQP-4Ab titer 5 - 60, 61 - 100 and >100 RSRU/ml. After 2 weeks of treatment, BCVA improved in 40 patients (71.42%), including 11 (84.62%), 6 (66.67%) and 23 (67.64%) of AQP-4Ab titer 5 - 60, 61 - 100 and > 100 RSRU/ml. Among 132 patients, 98 patients (74.24%) were AQP-4Ab positive. There were 73 patients (55.30%) with abnormal immune rheumatoid index.ConclusionsThe optic nerve is involved in 56.06% patients with NMO for the first time, and 67.57% of the patients had poor vision with BCVA<0.1. BCVA prognosis is better in patients with serum AQP-4Ab titer of 5 - 60 RSRU/ml.
