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。
简介:目的:研究αB-晶体蛋白对大鼠急性高眼压后视网膜组织中αB-晶体蛋白含量,视网膜神经节细胞(retinalganglioncells,RGCs)中生长相关蛋白-43(growthassociatedprotein-43,GAP-43)表达和全视野视网膜电流图(full-fieldERG,F-ERG)的b波振幅差异,探讨αB-晶体蛋白对急性高眼压后RGCs轴突再生的影响。方法:采用随机分组设计的实验研究。本实验选择120只健康、无眼疾SD大鼠,随机分为以下4组:αB晶体蛋白组(αB)30只,生理盐水组(S)30只,假手术组(P)30只,急性高眼压组(H)30只,均以右眼为实验眼,分别于术后7d和14d各取5只术眼的视网膜,行Western-blot法,观察急性高眼压后视网膜中αB-晶体蛋白的表达;术后7,14,21d各取5只术眼的视网膜,行免疫组织化学法,观察急性高眼压后RGCs的GAP-43表达;术前和术后1mo时应用全视野ERG的b波振幅变化测定视网膜功能。组间数据比较采用单因素方差分析(One-wayANOVA),组间两两比较采用SNK-q检验。结果:αB组视网膜中αB-晶体蛋白的表达于术后7d较高,14d时表达减弱(P=0.000),但同一时间点明显高于其他三组(P=0.006,P=0.024,P=0.007;P=0.006,P=0.008,P=0.010);αB组RGCs的GAP-43表达于术后7d达高峰,14d时表达减弱,21d时仍有少量表达(P=0.000),但各时间点明显高于其他三组(P=0.001,P=0.002,P=0.001;P=0.015,P=0.002,P=0.006;P=0.005,P=0.003,P=0.005);ERG-b波振幅于术后1mo较低(P=0.014,P=0.004,P=0.003,P=0.006),其中术前各组ERG-b波振幅无明显差异(P=0.993),术后1mo时αB组ERG-b波振幅明显高于其他三组(P=0.000,P=0.004,P=0.002)。结论:外源性αB-晶体蛋白能够提高视网膜αB-晶体蛋白的表达;αB-晶体蛋白通过促进RGCs中GAP-43的表达,从而促进RGCs的轴突再生;αB-晶体蛋白可促进视网膜功能的恢复,对大鼠视网膜无毒性作用。
