简介:目的:研究增殖细胞核抗原(proliferatingcellnuclearanti-gen,PCNA)和胰岛素样生长因子Ⅱ(insulin-likegrowthfactor-Ⅱ,IGF-Ⅱ)在翼状胬肉中表达的关系。方法:应用免疫组织化学SABC法检测40例原发性翼状胬肉组织标本,10例正常结膜组织标本中PCNA和IGF-Ⅱ蛋白的表达情况。结果:翼状胬肉组中PCNA,IGF-Ⅱ表达均高于正常结膜组(P〈0.01),IGF-Ⅱ与PCNA蛋白表达之间的相关系数为0.731(P〈0.01)。结论:翼状胬肉为一种具有肿瘤潜能的增生性眼表疾病。IGF-Ⅱ通过促进细胞增殖参与了翼状胬肉的发生、发展。

简介:目的:通过临床的系统观察研究泪点发生炎症的原因及泪点炎发展转归的临床规律,以及设计实施相应的手术治疗等,显示把泪点炎作为独立疾病列出的必要性。方法:用裂隙灯观察泪点和眼表,并泪道冲洗、探通检查;用微距照相记录泪点典型病变,其中有24眼泪点切除组织进行病理学检查。结果:泪点炎病临床特征:几乎所有泪点炎患者都合并急、慢性结膜炎;多数为泪点单独发炎,少数与后续泪道炎性阻塞疾病合并存在。急性泪点炎少见,溢热泪,泪点局部红肿、痒痛,泪点壁贴合关闭泪点口,以抗炎药物治疗为主。慢性泪点炎多见,溢冷泪,主要有泪点壁软缩,泪点乳头平坦,泪点口向心性缩小;增殖膜覆盖泪点口;泪点壁肿胀、增生贴合关闭泪点口;增生的睑结膜包裹稀薄的积脓包埋泪点口,形成白色隆起的泪点外观四种类型。以手术治疗为主,效果良好。结论:本研究结果显示,泪点炎病多发而常见,有独特的发展转归临床规律,和单独的手术治疗方法,把泪点炎作为独立疾病单独列出,以减少泪道病诊治的疏漏和错误等非常必要。
简介:目的:观察波前像差引导LASIK与波前像差优化LASIK对全眼高阶像差在0.3滋m以下近视散光眼的疗效差异。方法:前瞻性病例系列研究。收集在我院就诊拟行LASIK手术的近视散光患者30例60眼。每位患者随机选取一眼接受波前像差引导的LASIK,对侧眼接受波前像差优化的LASIK。术后6mo观察患者的视力、屈光度、全眼高阶像差及暗光下对比敏感度。采用配对样本t检验和字2检验进行统计学分析。结果:术后6mo,波前像差引导组与波前像差优化组分别有93%及90%的术眼裸眼视力逸5.0,两组术后等效球镜值在±0.50D范围内的比例分别为87%及83%,差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。两组术后均未出现最佳矫正视力丢失2行或以上的情形。两组术后总高阶像差、球差、彗差均较术前增大(P〈0.01),但增幅在两组间无统计学差异(P〉0.05)。两组术后6mo暗光下对比敏感度在各个空间频率均恢复至术前水平,差异无统计学意义(P〉0.05)。结论:对术前全眼高阶像差小于0.3滋m的近视散光眼,波前像差引导LASIK与波前像差优化LASIK对术后视力、屈光度、全眼高阶像差及对比敏感度的影响无明显差异。
