Objective To observe whether the animal model of optic nerve injury in rats can be set up by fluid percussion brain injury device (FPI) or not.Methods Seventyone healthy female Wister rats were randomly divided into 2 groups, inlcuding model group with 66 rats and control group with 5 rats.The rats in model group were randomly divided into 3 groups. Eight rats in group 1 were examined by flashvisual evoked potential (F-VEP) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examines before and 1, 3 days,1,2,4,6,and 8 weeks after injury; 56 rats in group 2 were randomly divided into 7 subgroups with 8 rats in each subgroup，and were detected by histopathological and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) apoptosis examines 1, 3 days, 1,2,4,6,8 weeks after injury；2 rats in group 3 were examined by electron microscopy 4 and 8 weeks after injury.According to the degree of injury, the injured eyes were divided into 2 groups including severe injury group with the beat pressure of （699.14plusmn;60.79） kPa and mild injury group with the beat pressure of （243.18plusmn;20.26） kPa.The right and left eyes in rats in each group were in severe and mild injury group, respectively.Results One day after injury, the latency duration of FVEP prolonged in severe injury group，wich differed much form which in the normal control group (P＜0.05)；the amplitude was gradually reduced during the first 2 weeks after injury and kept steady after that (P＞0.05). The latency duration prolonged in mild injury group,and its difference with the normal control group was statistically significant (P＜0.05)；the amplitude was gradually reduced during the first 4 weeks after injury and kept steady after that (P＞0.05). The abnormal high signal could be seen on optic nerve 1 day after injury, and was still obvious 8 weeks later. The results of histopathological examination showed ruptured capillary in ganglion cell layer 1 day after injury;retinal ganglion cells without nucleus could be seen 4 weeks after injury. The apoptosis of positive cells was found in each layer of the retina 3 days after injury.TUNEL results indicated that the number of apoptotic positive cells increased significantly 1-2 weeks after injury.Conclusion An animal model of optic nerve injury can be successfully set up using FPI in rats.

Ojective
To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of surgical and nonsurgical treatment and the clinical factors affecting the efficacy in traumatic optic neuropathy.
Methods
To analyse retr ospectively the efficacy of recovery of visual acuity in 40 cases of traumatic optic neuropathy after treatment with transnasal endoscopic sphenoethmoidal optic canal decompression (28 cases) and drug therapy (12 cases).
Results
No significant difference existed between the therapeutic efficacy of surgery and that of drug therapy in patients with the visual acuity of LP～ 0.02. In surgery group,the therapeutic efficacy of the patients with visual acuity of LP～0.02 was better than that of the patients with no LP.The therapeu tic efficacy of patients with duration shorter than seven days before sutgery is better than that of patients with duration longer than seven days.
Conclusions
The patients with serious traumatic comperssive optic neuropathy should not be treated with decompressive surgery and should not delay to at most seven days after injury.With or without the visual acuity of light perception of the affected eye surgery is usually an important factor affecting the therapeutic efficacy.
