Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
ObjectiveTo evaluate the factors that may influence the possibility of early hemorrhage after vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).MethodsSixty-seven eyes of 60 patients of PDR who received vitrectomy and silicon oil filled in Department of Ophthalmology, China-Japan Friendship Hospital during January 2014 and May 2017 were included in this study. There were 34 males and 26 females, with the mean age of 51.3±12.5 years. Groups were divided depending on the degree of postoperative hemorrhage in 3 days: non-hemorrhage group (NH group) and hemorrhage Group (H group) composed of two sub-group that were called slight hemorrhage (SH) and massive hemorrhage (MH) group. The treatment was conventional 25G or 27G pars plana vitrectomy combined with silicon oil tamponade. Forty eyes received phacoemulsification. The follow-up ranged from 8 to 16 months, with the mean follow-up of 11.2±5.6 months. The possible related factors of early hemorrhage after vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade were analyzed. Independent t test, χ2 test and Fisher test were used in this study.Results55 eyes of 48 patients were in the NH group, while 12 eyes of 12 patients were in the H Group. There were statistical significances on the difference of age (t=−3.552, P=0.001), gender (P=0.052), hypertension (P=0.021), HbA1c (t=2.187, P=0.033) and presence of neovascularization of iris (χ2= 6.414, P=0.011), but there was no difference on diabetes duration (t=−0.451, P=0.654). Of the 12 patients in the H group, 7 were in the SH group and 5 were in the MH group. The MH group had a significantly higher HbA1c level (7.8±1.1)% compared with the SH Group (9.7±0.7)%, the difference was statistical significant (t=−3.256, P=0.009). Higher systolic blood pressure of MH group 186±7 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) acquired during operation was observed compared with SH Group 153±18 mmHg, the difference was statistical significant (t=−3.894, P=0.003). There was no statistical significances on the difference of age (t=1.954), gender, hypertension duration (t=−1.787), diabetes duration (t=−1.079), fasting blood-glucose (t=−0.361), diastolic blood pressure during operation (t=−0.811) between the two groups (P＞0.05).ConclusionsYounger age, history of hypertension, presence of neovascularization of iris, higher level of HbA1c may predict greater possibility to cause early hemorrhage after vitrectomy with silicon oil tamponade for PDR. The patients with high level of HbA1c and high systolic pressure during the operation are more likely to undergo massive hemorrhage and secondary glaucoma.
Objective To investigate the efficacy and prognostic factors of pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) in the treatment of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) with chronic renal failure (CRF). MethodsA retrospective study. From January 2016 to June 2021, a total of 82 eyes of 58 patients diagnosed with PDR combined with CRF and treated with PPV in Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University were included in the study. There were 32 cases in males and 26 cases in females. The mean age was (48.45±10.41) years. The course of renal failure was (4.15±3.23) years, and the course of diabetes was (14.45±6.71) years. All patients undergo best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA). The BCVA examination was performed using the international standard Snellen visual acuity chart, which was converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity for recording. The mean number of logMAR BCVA was 2.04±0.82 (0.7-2.8). The duration of vitreous hemorrhage averaged (2.65±1.55) months. There were 38 eyes (46.3%, 38/82) with traction retinal detachment; 32 eyes had a history of panretinal photocoagulation (PRP) treatment (39.0%, 32/82). All eyes were treated with 25G PPV. Patients with traction retinal detachment were treated with intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) 3 days before surgery. Opacification of the lens affected the operation operator combined with phacoemulsification. Biochemical indexes such as hemoglobin, glycosylated hemoglobin, albumin, creatinine, uric acid, and alternative treatment (non-dialysis/hemodialysis/peritoneal dialysis) were collected. Postoperative follow-up time was ≥6 months. χ2 test or Fisher's exact test were used for comparison between groups. A logistic regression model was used for multivariate analysis, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlations between variables. ResultsAt 6 months after surgery, the mean logMAR BCVA was 1.16±0.57. Compared with logMAR BCVA before surgery, the difference was statistically significant (t=－0.837, P＜0.001); 44 eyes had BCVA ≥0.1 and 38 eyes had BCVA ＜0.1. Postoperative vitreous hemorrhage (PVH) was observed in 17 eyes after surgery (20.7%, 17/82). PVH occurred in 15 (46.9%, 15/32), 1 (2.3%, 1/44), and 1 (16.7%, 1/6) eyes in patients without dialysis, hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, respectively. There was significant difference between those without dialysis and those on hemodialysis (χ2=26.506, P＜0.05). There was no significant difference between peritoneal dialysis patients and those without dialysis and hemodialysis patients (χ2=2.694, 2.849; P＞0.05). PVH occurred in 3 (10.0%, 3/30) and 14 (27.0%, 14/52) eyes of vitreous cavity filled with silicone oil and perfusion fluid, respectively. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=3.315, P＜0.05); 1 (33.3%, 1/3) and 10 (71.4%, 10/14) eyes were treated with PPV again, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05). Neovascular glaucoma (NVG) occurred in 12 eyes (14.6%, 12/82). Logistic regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR) =0.911, P＜0.05], diabetic retinopathy (DR) stage (OR=7.229, P＜0.05), renal failure duration (OR=0.850, P＜0.05), operation time (OR=1.135, P＜0.05) was an independent risk factor for poor vision prognosis. Diabetes duration (OR=1.158, P＜0.05), renal failure duration (OR=1.172, P＜0.05) and alternative therapy were independent factors affecting the occurrence of PVH. Diabetes duration (OR=1.138, P＜0.05) and renal failure duration (OR=1.157, P＜0.05) were independent risk factors for postoperative NVG. Spearman correlation analysis showed that PVH was strongly correlated with post-operative NVG (r=0.469, P＜0.01). There was no significant correlation between blood glucose, hemoglobin, creatinine and blood urea nitrogen and prognosis of postoperative vision, PVH and NVG occurrence (P＞0.05). ConclusionsIn PDR patients with CRF, DR Stage, age, renal failure course and operation duration are correlated with vision prognosis. Compared with those who do not receive alternative therapy, hemodialysis treatment can reduce the occurrence of PVH and NVG after surgery.
Objective To test the effects of large amount of blood in the vitreous on electrophysiological examination. Methods The reductions of transmission of flash light through a serial dilution and depth of whole blood were measured.An experimental model of vitreous hemorrhage in rabbits was established by injecting 0.5ml autologous uncoagulated whole blood into the vitreous cavities after compression with an expanding perfluoropropane gas bubble.Pars plana vitrectomy was performed to clear the blood clots 2 weeks after blood injection.Ganzfeld and bright-flash electroretinography were performed through six-week observation period. Results Blood reduced remarkably the transmission of reduced remarkably the transmission of bright-flash light.Massive vitreous hemorrhage had a dense filtering effect and extinguished the Ganzfeld but not the bright-flash electrotetinogram.About 3.5log units higher of the intensities of bright- flash light than that of conventional method could stimulate the responses of ERG-B waves in blood injected eyes.Slow recovery of Ganzfeld ERG-b waves after vitrectomy were noted within 2 weeks (Plt;0.05),AND ERG-b wave reached at 80-90% of normal level during the third week. Conclusion The ERG-b waves,which become undetectable because of absorption of the dense opacities of the absorption of the dense opacities of the vitreous in eyes with a large amount of vitreous hemorrhage,can be recorded in bright-flash light conditions with nearly nearly normal amplitudes.This result indicates that functions of retina were not severely damaged by the large amount of vitreous hemorrhage. The injection of large amount of blood into vitreous cavities may cause a transient reduction of the amplitudes of ERG-b waves. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1998,14:104-107)
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors of postoperative vitreous hemorrhage after minimal vitrectomy without endotamponade for proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).MethodsFrom June 2015 to June 2017, 103 eyes of 103 patients with PDR diagnosed and underwent minimalvitrectomy in Henan Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled in the study. There were 58 males and 45 females, with the average age of 58.37±10.14 years and diabetes duration of 8.7±7.2 years. Baseline systemic parameters including sex, age, diabetes duration, hypertension, HbA1c, creatinine, whether received anticoagulants, ocular parameters including whether combined with vitreous hemorrhage, whether finished panretinal photocoagulation (PRP), whether received treatment of anti-VEGF, whether combined with iris neovascularization (NVI), lens status preoperatively, whether hypotony postoperatively and intraoperative parameters including whether disc neovascularization (NVD) bleeding, whether fibrovascular membrane (FVM) residual, laser points, whether combined with cataract phacoemulsification were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis.ResultsTwenty-nine of 103 eyes (28.15%) developed PVH in 1 day to 6 months after surgery, with self absorption of 18 eyes and reoperation of 11 eyes. Univariate analysis showed there were significant differences in age (t=2.124, P=0.036), anti-VEGF(χ2=7.105, P=0.008), NVD bleeding (χ2=10.158, P=0.001) and FVM residual(χ2=8.445, P=0.004) between patients with and without postoperative vitreous hemorrhage. Sex (χ2=0.021, P=0.884), diabetes duration (t=0.87, P=0.386), hypertension (χ2=2.004, P=0.157), HbA1c (t=1.211, P=0.229), creatinine (t=0.851, P=0.397), preoperative oral anticoagulants (χ2=0.985, P=0.321), preoperative vitreous hemorrhage (χ2=0.369, P=0.544), PRP (χ2=1.122, P=0.727), NVI (χ2=2.635, P=0.105), lens status (χ2=0.172, P=0.679), hypotony postoperatively (χ2=1.503, P=0.220), laser points (χ2=1.391, P=0.238) and combined phacoemulsification surgery (χ2=0.458, P=0.499) were not associated with PVH. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the more PVH appeared in younger (OR=1.065, P=0.009) and NVD bleeding (OR=6.048, P=0.001) patients.ConclusionYounger age and NVD bleeding are the important risk factors for PVH after minimal vitrectomy without endotamponade in PDR.
