简介:目的:探讨糖皮质激素的使用是否是中心性浆液性脉络膜视网膜病变(centralserouschoriorelinopathy,CSCR)发病的危险因子。方法:前瞻性病例对照研究。对连续的100例急性CSCR患者就糖皮质激素的使用状况进行问卷调查。从同期就诊的非CSCR的门诊患者中根据年龄和性别选择病例与之匹配,以建立对照组,并进行相同的问卷回答。结果:在100例CSCR患者中,10例(10%)有激素使用史,男4例,女6例。而100例对照患者中仅有3例(3%)有激素使用史,男2例,女1例。两组之间有显著性差异。结论:通过前瞻性的病例对照研究,我们发现使用糖皮质激素是CSCR发病的危险因子。
简介:目的:探讨玻璃棒法按摩睑板腺与常规疗法联合治疗睑板腺功能障碍(MGD)的临床疗效。方法:回顾性分析2016-08/2017-06我院收治的MGD患者130例220眼,根据治疗方式不同进行分组,其中给予常规治疗即1g/L氟米龙滴眼液联合自行热敷的患者设为对照组(65例112眼),给予圆头玻璃棒按摩睑板腺联合常规疗法的患者设为联合组(65例108眼)。比较两组患者治疗前后眼表疾病指数量表(OSDI)评分、泪膜破裂时间(BUT)、基础泪液分泌试验(S|t)、角膜荧光素染色(CFS)评分、睑缘评分、睑板腺分泌物性状评分和眼压情况及临床治疗有效率。结果:治疗前,两组患者OSDI评分、BUT、S|t、CFS评分、睑缘评分、睑板腺分泌物性状评分、眼压情况差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗2wk后,联合组患者OSDI、CFS、睑缘及睑板腺分泌物性状评分均低于对照组,BUT和S|t均大于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.01);两组患者眼压均有所升高,但均≤21mmHg,两组间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。治疗2wk后,联合组总有效率为92.6%(100/108),对照组总有效率为78.6%(88/112),差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)结论:玻璃棒法按摩睑板腺与常规疗法联合治疗MGD能够有效改善眼表症状和睑板腺分泌功能,促进泪液分泌,提高临床治疗有效率。
简介:目的:评价大剂量甲基强的松龙对原田病急性期浆液性视网膜脱离的治疗作用.方法:对2001-12/2003-07就诊本院患者11例(22眼)在临床诊断当天即给予甲基强的松龙静脉滴注,剂量为500mg,1次/d,连续用3d后迅速减量,于7d内减为强的松口服.OCT和间接眼底镜观察炎症渗出吸收情况,检查视功能恢复情况.结果:大剂量甲基强的松龙静脉滴注次日即可观察到22眼视网膜下液均明显减少,静滴3d后浆液性视网膜脱离基本消失,视网膜复位,出院时21眼视网膜下液完全吸收,14眼(64%)视力恢复至0.5以上.结论:甲基强的松龙冲击疗法可促进原田病急性期视网膜下液迅速吸收,恢复视功能,疗效可靠,值得临床推广.
