Objective To verify the changes of optics and refraction of the eyes after retinal detachment surgery with the tamponade of silicone oil in vitreous cavity. Methods The optical calculation was taken as the following by using the parameter of Gullstrand model eye:(1)The refraction of silicone filled eye in non-accommodative status;(2)The refraction of silicone filled eye in non-accommodative status;(3)The aniseikonia analysis when one eye filled with the silicone oil;(4)The IOL power re-calculation. Results (1) Compa red with the normal eye,the eye filled with silicone oil is moved toward high hyperopia of +9.19 D;(2)When corrected,the accommodation amplitude reduced 1.42 D induced by filling silicone oil. Conclusion When eye filled with silicone oil,the change of refractive power tends to be highly hyperopic,the amplitude of accommodation decreased,and the regular IOL power calculation formula is no longer available.

Objective To observe and analyze the configuration and distribution of vortex veins by indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) combining with widefield contact lens system. Methods A total of 28 patients (32 eyes), including 16 females (19 eyes) and 12 males (13 eyes) with the age of 28-84 (average 71), were examined by ICGA combing with widefield contact lens. The patients were divided into high myopia group (15 eyes with diopter ge;-6.0 D) and non high myopia group (17 eyes with diopter lt;-6.0 D or normal sight). Results A total of 166 vortex veins were detected, including 118 circinate veins (71.1%), 34 thick-stripe-like veins (20.5%), and 14 irregular vein (8.4%). There are 71 vortex veins in the right eyes with average 5.07 vortex veins in each eye; and 95 veins in the left eyes with average 5.28 vortex veins in each eye. The number of vortex veins at in the inferior temporal, inferior-nasal, over-temporal and over-nasal retina was 47, 42, 39, and 38, respectively, with average 1.34 vortex veins in each quadrant (the inferiortemporal was the most: average 1.53). A total of 160 vortex veins came out from the scleral around the equator area 46 disc diameter (DD) away from the optic disc (964%); the other 6 vortex veins came out at the point 3-4 DD away from the optic disc (3.6%). A total of 123 (74.1%) vortex veins had ampullae with different directions. Horizontal and vertical ampullae were most common. There was no difference in numbers and configuration of vortex veins beween the two groups. Conclusion The vortex veins has circinate, thick-stripe-like, and irregular configurations; the distribution of vortex veins in eyes with high myopia or non high myopia is almost accordant. ICGA combining with the wide-field contact lens examination can observe all of the vortex veins within a single visual field.
Objective To investigate the characteristics of indocyanine green angiography(ICGA) in central serous chorioretinopathy(CSC) Methods The simultanous fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) and ICGA were performed on 79 eyes of 70 consecutive patients with Heidelberg Retina Angiography. Results Seventy-nine eyes in FFA revealed RPE leakages.The changes of ICGA showed a small localized delay of filling of choroid vessels during the early phase of angiography in 23 eyes,choroidal capillary congestion in 79 eyes,the choriodal capillary hyperpermeability in the area of RPE leakage in 78 eyes,pigment epithelial detachment in 25 eyes and RPE atrophy in 21 eyes. Conclusion The findings in this research indicate that the choroidal abnormalities are the basic characteristics of ICGA in CSC. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,20000,16:14-16)
Objective To find the new mutations of Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). Methods Two LHON families were enrolled in this study. The probands and all maternal members in this two families were underwent ophthalmologic examinations. The ages of probands were seven and 14 years old respectively. A total of 358 healthy adults were enrolled in this study as control group. The genomic DNA from whole blood of participants were extracted. The entire mitochondrial genome of probands were PCR amplified and sequenced in 24 overlapping fragments using primers as designed. At the same time, the mtDNA of maternal relatives and 358 controls were also detected. Fourteen primate species were selected from GenBank to analyzed the phylogenetics of mitochondrial sequence. Results There was no ND4 G11778A, ND1 G3460A, ND6 T14484C mutational site in all maternal members. Molecular analysis of mtDNA in this two families identified the homoplasmic tRNAGluA14683G mutation and distinct set of variants belonging to the Asian haplogroup F1a1 and G2. The site was at theTpsi;C stem oftRNAGlu and extremely conserved among 14 primate species. It was anticipated that the A14683G increased the highly conserved C-G basepairing. Furthermore, the A14683G was absence in control group. Conclusion The tRNAGluA14683G mutation is likely a new mutation associated with LHON.
Objective To observe the molecular genetic characteristics of seven Chinese families with Leberprime;s hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON). Methods Ophthalmologic examinations were performed on seven probands, maternal members from seven Chinese families and 134 healthy controls. There were two LHON patients in seven Chinese families except probands. The entire mitochondrial genome was amplified using 24 pairs of oligonucleotide primers with overlapping fragments.The mutational site was analyzed through comparison of the Results and Cambridge reference sequence. The penetrance of mutation site was calculated and the haplotype was analyzed. Results Molecular analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in these pedigrees revealed the absence of three common LHON associated with ND4 G11778A, ND1 G3460A and ND6 T14484C mutations. The ND1 T3394C mutation in probands and other matrilineal relatives was present in four out of 134 Chinese healthy controls. Strikingly, these families exhibited very low penetrance of visual impairment. The penetrance was 12.50%, 22.22%, 16.76%, 6.25%, 9.09%, 11.11% and 28.57%. The Results of phylogenetic tree analysis of submitochondrial haplotype showed that these mtDNA polymorphism sites belong to the Asian haplogroups M9, M9, M, D4, M, M9 and M9. Conclusions T3394C mutation exists in seven Chinese LHON pedigrees, and the penetrance was ranged from 6.25% to 28.57%. The patients have different clinical manifestations.
In 2019, the national government issued the document "Implementation Plan for Supporting the Construction of the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Area", which allowed the use of innovative drugs and medical devices in medical institution of Boao Lecheng. These medical products had been designed to meet urgent clinical requirements and had been approved by regulatory authorities overseas. Through the use of these medical products, real-world data were generated in the routine clinical practice, based on which real-world evidence might be produced for regulatory decision-making by using scientific and rigorous methods. In March 2020, the first medical device product using domestic real-world data was approved, suggesting that the real-world data initiative in Boao Lecheng achieved initial success. This work also provided important experience for promoting the practice of medical device regulatory decision-making based on real-world evidence in China. Here, we shared the preliminary experiences from the study on the first approved medical device product and discussed the issues on developing a real-world data research framework in Boao Lecheng in attempt to offer insights for future studies.
