Purpose To explore the role of scanning laser tomography in the assessment of macular hole surgery. Methods Fifteen eyes of 14 patients with macular holes underwent scanning of their affected macular area using the Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT). The significance of topographic changes postoperatively were determined in eleven eyes which received vitrectomy surgery. The scan field was set at 15°of the retina and the depth was set to 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm. All the measurements were taken for 3 times and the average value of the 3 measurements was used. Results The average hole area was (0.499±0.34) mm 2 and the maximal depth of the hole was (0.284±0.11) mm. Topographic difference analysis of the eleven eyes showed a significant reduction in the height of the retina after vitrectomy. The maximal depth of the hole was (0.063±0.04) mm postoperatively. Conclusion Scanning laser tomography provides an objective evaluation of the anatomic outcome of the macular hole surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2002, 18: 125-127)
Objective To study on the ultrastructural characteristic of segments of photoreceptors from neonatal retinas for supporting donor retina choice of retinal transplantation． Methods Photoreceptors from neonatal calf and adult calf were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy． Results Segments of photoreceptors from neonatal calf appeared the mushroom pattern, in which, distal end of outer segment which was ball-shaped formed the head with mushrooms appearance, and the inner segments along with some of outer segments formed the body with mushrooms appearance． Within the outer segment, plasma membranes of adjacent evaginations form a disk subsequently． The a rray of most disks were vertical to the entire length of segments, but some were parallel and slope to．Owing to the incomplete formation, some rim of disk near distal end of outer segment revealed step-shaped appearance． The distal end of outer segment displays some processes consisted of membranous discs, much vesicular material and mitochondria, much rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and numerous polyso mes．Segments of photoreceptor connected with outer nuclear layer via the external limiting membrane． Conclusion The typical morphol ogical structures of outer segments suggest the immature and b gowth ability of photoreceptors of the retina of neonatal calf, and therefore the competence for donor material of retinal transplantation． (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis, 2001,227-229)
【摘要】 目的 探讨全自动尿沉渣分析仪在尿管型检测中的应用。 方法 收集尿管型患者晨尿标本836份。所有标本均经尿干化学分析仪检测Pro≥1+或尿沉渣分析仪提示有管型。采用UF100全自动尿沉渣分析仪和显微镜检测管型，对比分析两者的检测结果。 结果 836份标本中，UF100全自动尿沉渣分析仪检测阳性者320例，占38.28%；显微镜检测阳性者195例，占23.33%。其中UF100全自动尿沉渣分析仪的假阳性率为26.52%，假阴性率为23.08%。UF100尿沉渣分析仪与显微镜检测管型的阳性结果比较，差异有统计学意义（Plt;0.01）。 结论 UF100全自动尿沉渣仪能快速筛检尿沉渣，但存在一定的假阴性，必须同时将其检测结果与尿干化学结果结合考虑以决定是否再进行显微镜检测，减少假阴性以防止漏检。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the application of UF-100 full-auto urine sediment analyzer in detecting cylindruia. Methods 836 specimens with cylindruia were selected. All the specimens with Pro≥1+ were dectected by chemical dipstick or cylindruia by urine sediment analyzer. The cast were detected by urine sediment analyzer and microscope, and the results were compared. Results Of 836 specimens, 320 positive samples(38.28%) were found by UF-100 while 195 (23.33%) were found by microscope. False positive rate and false negative rate of UF100 were 26.52% and 23.08%. Compared the results of urine sediment analyzer with microscope, the difference was statistically significant (Plt;0.01). Conclusions UF100 can detect urinary cast quickly, but there is a little high false negative rate. So we should consider urine sample whether to be detected by microscope compared with results of UF100 and chemical dipstick.
Objective To observe the dimensions of the capillary blood vessel arch in central fovea of macula and the foveal avascular area (FAZ), and their relationships with age.Methods Retina in macula of 32 cadavers eyes were isolated . Retinal vessels were immunostained by collagen type IV and examined by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The area and diameter of the FAZ were measured, and the relationship between FAZ and age was analysed. Results The parafoveolar capillary network was observed clearly by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The average area of the FAZ was (0.24±0.13) mm2, and the average diameter was (0.54±0.15) mm. The area and diameter of the FAZ did not show any correlation with age.Conclusions The parafoveolar capillary network could be observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. The size of the FAZ does not change with age. The dimensions of the parafoveolar capillary network may not be influenced by age. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：73-75)
ObjectiveTo analyze the diagnostic value of multicolor scanning laser imaging (confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, cSLO) combined with swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) for lacquer cracks (LC) and myopia stretch lines (MSL) of pathological myopia.MethodsA observational study. A total of 83 eyes of 58 patients with pathological myopia were recruited from May 2017 to January 2018 in Department of Ophthalmology of The First People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Among 58 patients, 20 were males (30 eyes) and 38 were females (53 eyes). The mean age was 50.65±12.02 (range from 24 to 70) years old; the average BCVA was 0.37±0.32; the average diopter was −11.38±4.96 D; and the average axial length was 28.91±2.15 mm. All participants underwent FFA and ICGA examination to obtain FFA, ICGA, infrared light reflection (IR) and autofluorescence (AF) images. SS-OCT was applied for scanning macular and optic disc at 9 mm × 9 mm range. cSLO was performed with macular as the center. All images were inspected carefully by three independent observers and the consistency test was detect. LC were diagnosed as hyperreflective line in FFA and hypofluorescent linear lesions in late ICGA. MSL were defined as both hypofluorescent linear lesions in FFA and late ICGA. The accuracy of each inspection item in the diagnosis of LC was detected. The optimal technique was applied with SS-OCT to further explore the detection rate of LC.ResultsThe intra-observer reproducibility was good to excellent for all measurements (Kappa=0.938, P＜0.01). The positive detection rate of LC and MSL was highest in the standard images of cSLO (77.1%), followed by SS-OCT red free (73.1%), fundus photography (72.3%), IR (72.3%) and AF (49.4%). The cSLO was optimal in the test consistency (Kappa=0.520, P＜0.01) and accuracy (the area under the receiver operating characteristic was 0.750). SS-OCT and cSLO were jointly applied to diagnosis of LC and MSL in high myopia. The positive detection rate of LC, MSL and LC+MSL were 91.7%, 91.2% and 93.3% respectively. The characteristics of LC in SS-OCT were irregularities and discontinuous of the RPE-Bruch membrane line, discontinuous inner ellipsoid zone, thinner choroid, an increased light penetrance into deeper tissues, and RPE fracture in severe cases. MSL was mainly manifested as RPE clumps, visible large choroidal vessels protruding and pushing the overlying RPE toward the vitreous.ConclusionsThe diagnosis rate of LC in pathological myopia by cSLO is 77.1%. The standard images of cSLO combined with SS-OCT can diagnose LC, MSL and LC+MSL at rates of 91.7%, 91.2% and 93.3% respectively.
