简介:目的:研究血管紧张素Ⅱ受体拮抗剂坎地沙坦对糖尿病(DM)大鼠视网膜组织VEGF和MCP-1表达的影响.方法:链脲佐菌素(STZ)制备DM大鼠动物模型36只,随机分为DM模型组和坎地沙坦治疗组,另取18只正常SD大鼠作为正常对照组,每组均随机分为4,8,12wk3个亚组.视网膜铺片联合PAS染色观察视网膜微血管形态学变化,应用SABC免疫组织化学法检测坎地沙坦对大鼠视网膜组织VEGF和MCP-1表达的影响.结果:正常对照组视网膜血管网结构清晰,走行规则;DM模型组血管迂曲阻塞,走行不规则;治疗组见血管网迂曲情况较模型组明显改善,走行较规则.在对照组和模型4wk组中大鼠视网膜组织无VEGF和MCP-1阳性表达或只呈弱阳性表达;模型8wk和12wk组两者阳性表达明显增强,且随着病程延长呈递增趋势.治疗组两者的表达则均较同时期模型组明显减弱,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05).结论:研究血管紧张素Ⅱ受体拮抗剂坎地沙坦可降低DM大鼠视网膜VEGF和MCP-1的表达.
简介:目的评价海德堡视网膜断层扫描仪黄斑区视网膜分析系统(macularedemamodule,MEM)的三个技术参数,了解其变异性及可重复性来判断其临床应用价值。方法对78例(78只眼)正常健康志愿者应用海德堡视网膜断层扫描仪黄斑区视网膜分析系统进行检查。分析扫描深度值(Z)、视网膜信号宽度值(W)、水肿指数值(E)三参数的均值及变异系数,并分析黄斑反射图、地形图、信号宽度图、水肿指数图的图像特征。结果黄斑中心0.5mm范围内视网膜扫描深度均值(Z)为1.4430848,变异系数55.6%。W值为795.27±193.53,变异系数17.6%。E值为1.13±0.35,变异系数27.8%。不同个体三参数差异有高度显著性(P<0.01),个体变异较大。不同时间段三参数测量差异无显著性(P>0.05)。结论MEM可对黄斑区视网膜厚度进行量化分析,个体变异较大,但重复性好,HRT-Ⅱ检查适合黄斑疾病的个体随诊观察。

简介:目的方法结果结论对安徽省两地人群盲和低视力及眼病的流行病学情况进行抽样调查。选择阜阳市颍州区和宣城市绩溪县,采用随机整体抽样方法,对所属居民进行眼部及其他情况的调查。两地的受检人数和受检率分别为3336人(91.40%)和3602人(92.10%),达到抽样调查要求;两地双眼盲、单眼盲、双眼低视力和单眼低视力的患病率分别为1.05%和0.69%、1.71%和1.25%、1.02%和0.97%、0.87%和0.89%;两地盲和低视力的主要原因分别为:白内障、弱视、青光眼和白内障、眼球萎缩/缺如、青光眼;两地主要眼病都为:屈光不正、白内障、翼状胬肉和沙眼;两地的白内障手术率分别为600和278。据不完全资料估计我省盲和低视力的患病率远高于全国平均水平,盲和低视力的高发人群为50岁以上老年人,女性,孤寡,文盲,低收入者,白内障仍是最主要致盲原因,屈光不正/弱视已日益成为影响人民特别是青少年视力的最主要因素,广泛宣传正确用眼方式,推广青少年正确验光配镜方法,提高相关人员验光配镜水平对于有效降低弱视致残率至关重要。
