Objective To detecte the pathogenetic mechanism of cortical deficit in persons with strabismic amblyopia by blood oxygenation level dependent-functional magnetic resonance imaging(BOLD-fMRI)． Methods The data of BOLD-fMRI of occipital visual cortex in 11 persons with strabismic amblyopia and 8 healthy ones were collected by 1．5T MRI system．The results of binocular pixel exponent in strabismic amblyopia group was compared with that in the normal group and the result of and average activation of cortical neuron in strabismic amblyopia group was analyzed.Results The binocular pixel exponent was lower in the strabismic amblyopia group(14．13％±4．55％)than that in the normal group(47．82％±5．34％)(PConclusions The reduction of cortical binocular cells and the undersampling and coding of higher-spatial-frequency components of visual stimuli may be related to the strabismic amblyopia．BOLD-fMRI may provide a new path to detecte the pathoffenetic mechanism of cortical deficit in people with strabismic amblyopia.

Purpose To identify the expression of alternatively spliced mRNA isoforms of the NMDA-R1 in the visual cortex of strabismic cats. Methods Two pai rs of normal and strabismic cats were used．The amblyopic cats had been made monocularly esotropic (by tenotomy) at the age of weeks，resulting in behavioral am blyopia．Animals were sacrificed about 6 months by intraperitoneal administration of Nembutal．Cryostat sections of fresh，frozen central visual cortex of the ats were cut to 20 micron thickness．A series of digoxygenin-labelled oligonucle otide probes basing on the human gene sequence were used for ISH．Control probes included sense oligonucleotides and short segment probes which were adjacent to ，but did not，span the splice junctions．A computer-assisted systematic morphometric ounting procedure was used to enumerate hybridising cells． Results The number of positive cells expressing NMDA-R1 mRNA in t he strabismic amblyopic cats was decreased，notably in layer IV of visual cortex (P＜0．0001)．The pattern of isoform expression varied between normal and strabismic amblyopic cats with decreased numbers of 1-a，1- b and 1-1 isoforms and apparently increased expression of 1-3 P ＜0．0001)，whereas no significant difference was found for the 1-2 and 1-4 isoforms (P＞0．05)． Conclusion Transcriptional inhibition of NMDA-R1 mRNA and of specifie isoforms may underlie the change in receptor expression．Alternatively，preferentialloss of neurones bearing particular NMDA-R1 isoforms and compensation with a proportional increase in cells expressing other isoforms may occurr during the critical period of visual plasticity． (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2000，16：71-138)
Objective To investigate the efficacy of individualized surgical treatment on congenital superior oblique paralysis. Methods A total of 131 patients (180 eyes) undergoing surgery for congenital superior oblique palsy between October 2015 and January 2018 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were reviewed. The clinical features, surgical methods and efficacy were analyzed. Results Among the 131 cases, 49 cases were bilateral congenital superior oblique palsy, and 82 cases were unilateral congenital superior oblique palsy; 94 cases were combined with horizontal strabismus; 17 cases (26 eyes) underwent inferior oblique recession, 53 cases (93 eyes) underwent superior oblique tuck, 4 cases underwent superior oblique tuck combined with contralateral superior rectus resection, 37 cases underwent superior oblique tuck combined with contralateral inferior rectus recession, 6 cases underwent inferior oblique recession combined with contralateral superior rectus resection, and 14 cases underwent inferior oblique transposition combined with contralateral superior rectus resection; 18 cases underwent horizontal strabismus correction at one stage, and 76 cases underwent horizontal strabismus correction at the second stage. After Surgery, there were 116 cases cured (88.55%), 15 cases improved (11.45%), and 0 case invalid. Conclusions The diagnosis of congenital superior oblique paralysis should be accurate. Individualized surgery should be designed according to the size and maximum orientation of the squint and the limitation or hyperactivity of the muscles in each diagnostic eye position.
