Objective To observe the hemodynamic changes in the retina and choroid after scleral buckling surgery in eyes with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). MethodsA prospective clinical observational study. A total of 25 eyes of 25 patients with RRD who underwent scleral buckling surgery in Tianjin Eye Hospital from February to April 2024 were included in the study. Among them, 10 were male and 15 were female. Age was 17-68 years old. All cases were monocular. The surgical eye and the contralateral healthy eye were divided into the affected eye group and the contralateral healthy eye group respectively. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), scanning source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA), and axial length (AL) measurements were performed 3 months after surgery. SS-OCTA examination of macular area was performed by VG200 of Visual Microimaging (Henan) Technology Co., LTD. Scanning range 21 mm×26 mm. According to the partitioning method of the early treatment group of glycosuria retinopathy, the retina within 21 mm of the macular fovea was divided into concentric circles with the macular fovea as the center and diameters of 1-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-21 mm, respectively. The built-in software of the device was used to record the central area (12 mm×12 mm in the fovea of the macula) and the peripheral area (12-21 mm range) retinal superficial capillary plexus (SCP), deep capillary plexus (DCP), radial peripapillary capillaries (RPC) blood density and choroidal vascular index (CVI), choroidal vascular volume (CVV), and 1-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-21 mm above concentric circles (S), nasal side (N), temporal side (T), and lower side (I) SCP, DCP, and RPC blood flow density. Quantitative data between the two groups were compared by independent sample t test or Wilcoxon signed rank test. The correlation between retinal and choroid blood flow parameters and postoperative BCVA was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsCompared with the opposite healthy eye group, SCP blood density in the central area (Z=−4.372), DCP blood density in the central area (Z=−2.829), and CVI in the peripheral area (Z=−2.138) were decreased in the affected eye group, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). SCP: in the affected eye group, the blood flow density in T3-6 mm, T6-12 mm, N6-12 mm and T12-21 mm regions decreased, while the blood flow density in I6-12 mm regions increased, with statistical significance (P＜0.05). DCP: blood flow density in S6-12 mm, I6-12 mm, S12-21 mm and I12-21 mm regions decreased significantly, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). RPC: blood flow density decreased significantly in T6-12 mm and I12-21 mm, and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). CVI: T6-12 mm, S12-21 mm, T12-21 mm, I12-21 mm significantly decreased, and T1-3 mm, S12-21 mm significantly increased, the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05). Correlation analysis showed that AL growth was positively correlated with CVV in central region (r=0.408, P=0.040) . The number of pad pressure was negatively correlated with the blood density of central DCP (r=−0.422, P=0.030). ConclusionsAfter scleral buckling operation, the blood flow density and choroidal blood flow parameters in RRD affected eyes are lower than those in contralateral healthy eyes in some areas. The increase of AL is positively correlated with CVV in the central region, and the wider the range of pad pressure, the worse the recovery of DCP blood density.
More and more relevant research results show that anatomical segmentectomy has the same effect as traditional lobectomy in the surgical treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (diameter<2.0 cm). Segmentectomy is more difficult than lobotomy. Nowadays, with the promotion of personalization medicine and precision medicine, three-dimensional technique has been widely applied in the medical field. It has advantages such as preoperative simulation, intraoperative positioning, intraoperative navigation, clinical teaching and so on. It plays a key role in the discovery of local anatomical variation of pulmonary segment. This paper reviewed the clinical application of three-dimensional technique and briefly described the clinical application value of this technique in segmentectomy.
Objective To investigate the imaging features of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) on 64 slice spiral computed tomography (64SCT) and the diagnostic value of 64SCT for BCS. Methods Twenty-nine patients diagnosed as BCS by 64SCT were retrospectively included into this study and all the patients were researched by digital substraction angiography (DSA). Two abdominal radiologists analyzed the CT imaging features of BCS, paying attention to the vascular lesion, the morphology abnormality of the liver and the degree of portal hypertension, with review of DSA findings. Results ①The accuracy of 64SCT for BCS was 93.1% (27/29), and there were 2 false positive cases and no false negative case. The accuracy of 64SCT for those patients with thrombosis of inferior vena cava (IVC) and (or) hepatic vein (HV) was high as compared to those with stenosis of IVC and (or) HV. ②The morphology abnormality of the liver included hepatomegaly (24 cases), low attenuation (27 cases) and inhomogeneous pattern of parenchymal contrast enhancement (5 patients in arterial phase and 19 patients in portal vein phase). ③The images of all the patients showed the features of portal hypertension. Conclusion The accuracy of 64SCT for BCS is satisfactory and the false negative is seldom. The 64SCT could accurately display the morphology abnormality of the liver and the compensatory circulation in BCS patients. For those patients with stenosis of IVC and (or) HV, however, the diagnostic power of 64SCT is limited.
Objective To explore the application value of time of flight magnetic resonance angiography (TOF-MRA) in target bypass surgery for moyamoya disease. Methods The data of patients with moyamoya disease in Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital, Medical College, Nanjing University between May 1 and August 30, 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into navigation group and control group according to whether navigation technology was used during operation. All patients completed TOF-MRA evaluation before operation, and all patients completed surgical treatment. One week after operation, TOF-MRA was reviewed to evaluate the patency of anastomotic stoma. The intraoperative and postoperative conditions of the two groups were compared. Results Finally, 48 patients with moyamoya disease were included. 22 patients who used intraoperative navigation were included in the navigation group, and 26 patients with moyamoya disease who did not use intraoperative navigation in the same period were included in the control group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, age, Suzuki stage before operation, proportion of posterior circulation involvement, proportion of bleeding type, proportion of hypertension and proportion of diabetes (P>0.05). The operation duration [(3.3±0.4) vs. (3.6±0.6) h] and postoperative hospital stay [(7.3±1.9) vs. (8.8±2.7) d] in the navigation group were shorter than those in the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the proportion of patients who completed bypass surgery, the proportion of middle meningeal artery retained, the postoperative patency rate, the proportion of temporary dysfunction, and the proportion of serious complications (P>0.05). Conclusion TOF-MRA sequence combined with navigation technology can effectively guide the surgical scheme design and postoperative evaluation of moyamoya disease.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the CT features of coronary artery aneurysm by coronary artery imaging on 128 slice CT and dual source CT (CTCA). MethodsA total of 1 108 cases were prospectively examined using CTCA between March 2011 and April 2014. With volume rendering, maximum intensity projection, multiplanar reconstruction and surface reconstruction, we observed the coronary artery morphology and vascular wall condition. ResultsThree cases of coronary artery aneurysm were found. In case one, the anterior descending branch (LAD) had grape-like prominency segmentally; in case two, LAD and left coronary circumflex branch (LCX) and right coronary artery (RCA) had diffuse dilation with local shuttle expansion; in case three, left main, LAD and LCX and RCA had diffuse expansion. ConclusionCTCA is a noninvasive, simple and effective method for the diagnosis of coronary artery aneurysm, and it can be the first choice for the high risk population with coronary artery aneurysm.
ObjectiveTo observe and analyze the correlation between the changes of macular microvascular structure and the level of intracocular fluid cytokines in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). MethodsA prospective clinical study. From December 2022 to June 2024, 20 patients with 25 eyes of DME diagnosed by Department of Ophthalmology of Linyi People's Hospital were included in the study. Among them, 14 males had 17 eyes and 6 females had 8 eyes. Age was (55.08±10.34) years. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA) were used to scan the macular region at a range of 6 mm×6 mm. Central retinal thickness (CRT), blood flow density of superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) and area of fovea avascular zone (FAZ) were measured. The anterior aqueous humor was extracted before the first intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the concentrations of interleukin (IL-6), IL-8, VEGF, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM), placental growth factor (PLGF) and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) were detected. The correlation between macular microvascular structure and aqueous humor cytokines was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsThe CRT of the affected eyes was (617.40±167.64) μm, the SCP flow density was (39.56±1.55)%, and the FAZ area was (0.46±0.13) mm². The concentrations of IL-6, IL-8, VEGF, VCAM, PLGF and MCP-1 in aqueous humor were (301.36±690.52), (29.15±20.56), (71.37±29.32) and (5 621.22±7 241.06), (72.40±13.43), (464.07±163.26) pg/ml, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between CRT and the concentrations of aqueous cytokines VEGF and PLGF (r=0.460, 0.462, P＜0.05). FAZ area was positively correlated with VEGF and MCP-1 concentrations (r=0.414, 0.465; P＜0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between SCP blood flow density and IL-6 (r=0.401, P＜0.05). ConclusionThere was a significant correlation between the morphological structure of macular area and the damage degree of microvessels around macular area in DME patients and the concentration of aqueous cytokines.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical value of three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography and angiography (3D-CTBA) in robotic lung segmentectomy.MethodsA non-randomized control study was performed and continuously enrolled 122 patients who underwent robotic lung segmentectomy in our hospital from January 2019 to January 2020. 3D-CTBA was performed before operations in 53 patients [a 3D-CTBA group, including 18 males, 35 females, with a median age of 52 (26-69) years] and not performed in the other 69 patients [a traditional group, including 23 males, 46 females, with a median age of 48 (30-76) years]. The clinical data of the patients were compared between the two groups.ResultsAll the patients were successfully completed the surgery and recovered from hospital, with no perioperative death. The baseline characteristics of the patients were not significantly different between the two groups (P>0.05). No significant difference was found in the operative time [120 (70-185) min vs. 120 (45-225) min, P=0.801], blood loss [50 (20-300) mL vs. 30 (20-400) mL, P=0.778], complications rate (17.0% vs. 11.6%, P=0.162), postoperative hospital stay [7 (4-19) d vs. 7 (3-20) d, P=0.388] between the two groups. In the 3D-CTBA group, 5 (9.4%) patients did not find nodules after segmentectomy, and only 1 (1.9%) of them needed lobectomy, but in the traditional group, 8 (11.6%) patients did not find nodules and had to carry out lobectomy, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The follow-up time was 10 (1-26) months, and during this period, there was no recurrence, metastasis or death in the two groups.Conclusion3D-CTBA is helpful for accurate localization of nodules and reasonable surgical planning before operations, and reducing wrong resections in segmentectomy, without increasing the operation time, blood loss and complications. It is safe and effective in anatomical lung segmentectomy.
ObjectiveTo observe and analyze the effect of peripore cavity size on visual function of macular area before and after surgery for idiopathic macular hole (IMH). MethodsA retrospective clinical study. From July 2020 to February 2021, a total of 25 patients with 25 eyes with monocular IMH (operation group) diagnosed by ophthalmology examination in Department of ophthalmology, Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University were included in the study. The control group was contralateral healthy eyes. All subjects were examined by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), microfield of vision, frequency domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and OCT angiography (OCTA). The diameter of macular hole was measured by SD-OCT. The cystic morphology of deep capillary plexus (DCP) was detected by en face OCT, and the cystic area was measured by Image J software. MP-3 microperimeter was used to measure central macular retinal light sensitivity (MS) and mean macular retinal light sensitivity (MMS). Central macular retinal light sensitivity (CMS), MMS and cystic cavity MS were measured in the operation group. MMS was measured in the control group. The microperimetry images were superimposed on the DCP layer of OCTA to identify and calculate the average MS within the lumen and compare it with the control group. Standard three incisions were performed in all affected eyes by vitrectomy of the flat part of the ciliary body + stripping of the inner boundary membrane + intraocular sterile air filling. Three months after the operation, the same equipment and methods were used to perform relevant examinations. Paired sample t test was used to compare MS between operation group and control group. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between capsular area, macular hole diameter before and after operation and MS before and after operation. The correlation between BCVA and capsular area before and after surgery was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. ResultsIn the surgical group, the retinal MS was (4.24±3.07) dB. The MMS of control group was (19.08±6.11) dB. The MS in the surgical group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (t=10.832, P＜0.01). Before operation, the area of cyst was (1.04±0.55) mm2, and the diameter of macular hole was (564.80±166.59) μm. CMS and MMS were (2.27±2.29) dB and (9.08±3.65) dB, respectively. The diameter of macular hole (r=0.50, P=0.010) and BCVA before operation (r=0.57, P＜0.001) were positively correlated with peripore cavity area. Before operation, CMS and MMS were negatively correlated with peripore cavity area (r=－0.53, －0.47; P=0.010, 0.020). At 3 months after surgery, the capsular area was negatively correlated with CMS and MMS (r=－0.65,－0.76; P=0.020, 0.030). There was no correlation with BCVA (r=0.23, P=0.470). ConclusionsRetinal MS is decreased in the peri-capsular area of IMH pore. There is a positive correlation between capsule area, BCVA and macular hole diameter before operation. The capsular area is negatively correlated with CMS and MMS before operation.
