简介:目的:探索一种临床实用的前房深度相对定量测量法,初步确定老年人前房深度的正常参考值。方法:裂隙灯光源外转45°,受检眼直视裂隙光,在6点时钟方向测量六个点的前房深度(ABCDEF),以角膜缘处的角膜厚度(CT值)为1计。A:角巩膜缘黑白交界处;B:A点上移1CT;C:B点上移1CT;D:虹膜最高点;E:瞳孔缘;F:晶状体前极。测量了50~75岁的正常老年人,229例229眼,采用双盲法对22例44眼进行了11次重复性检测。结果:女性组ABCDEF点的前房深度均值分别为0.38,0.58,0.89,2.10,2.65和3.26CT;男性组分别为0.71,1.02,1.43,2.37,2.90,3.41CT。女性组每个点的深度均比男性浅(P〈0.05),越近周边部越显著。结论:前房深度六点相对定量测量法可重复性好,实用性强。

简介:目的研究高眼压及其持续时间对大鼠视网膜caspase-3表达的影响。方法通过前房灌注平衡盐液建立大鼠急性高眼压模型:高眼压持续时间均为4h,依据眼内压的不同将sD大鼠60只随机分为正常对照组、40mmHg(1mmHg=0.133kPa)组、60mmHg组、80mmHg组、100mmHg组,每组12只。将眼内压为80mmHg的48只sD大鼠随机分为正常对照组、2h组、4h组、8h组,每组12只。正常对照组不给予前房灌注,其他各组分别给予不同的高眼压或高眼压持续不同时间。各组灌注结束后快速摘除眼球,分别采用Western印迹法和免疫组织化学法检测视网膜caspase-3的表达。结果与对照组相比,40mmHg组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达无增加(P〉0.05);60mmHg组、80mmHg组和100mmHg组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达均强于正常对照组(q值分别为4.87、5.28和6.71;P〈0.01),但各组之间差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。与对照组相比,2h组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05),4h组和8h组大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达均增加(q值分别为2.81和3.67;P〈0.01)。表达caspase-3的视网膜细胞主要位于神经节细胞层、外丛状层和内丛状层。结论采用前房灌注平衡盐液制作急性高眼压模型研究高眼压大鼠视网膜caspase-3的表达时,眼内压为80mmHg、高眼压持续4h即可。
