简介:目的:观察长期配戴散光镜对散光的干眼患者的治疗作用。方法:应用电脑验光仪筛查出正常人10例(20眼)及干眼病患者30例(60眼),并将干眼患者随机分成实验A组:给予人工泪液治疗同时联合配戴散光镜;和对照B组:只给予人工泪液进行治疗。A组30眼,B组30眼。分别对其治疗前后进行DR-I泪膜干涉成像仪检查,基础泪液分泌试验(SchirmerI试验)以及泪膜破裂时间测定(tearbreak-uptime,BUT)检查。结果:干眼病患者的泪膜干涉成像仪检查.基础泪液分泌试验以及泪膜破裂时间测定检查结果同健康人相比其差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05);AB两组患者治疗前及治疗后14,30,90d的基础泪液分泌试验值比较其差异无统计学意义;AB两组患者治疗后14d泪膜干涉成像仪检查及泪膜破裂时间测定值比较其差异无统计学意义;AB两组患者在治疗后30d及90d后其DR—I泪膜干涉成像仪检查及泪膜破裂时间测定值比较其差异有统计学意义(P〈0.05)。结论:配戴散光矫正镜对具有散光的干眼患者有提高疗效的作用。
简介:目的:了解我国Leber遗传性视神经病变(Leber'shereditaryopticneuropathy,LHON)线粒体DNA(mtDNA)14484位点突变患者的发病率和临床特征.方法:对来自117个家系的119例临床确诊或疑诊LHON的患者进行mtDNA检测.对3例证实为14484位点突变的家系做深入调查并收集相关病史及临床资料,抽取15例家属的血样进行mtDNA检测.结果:存在线粒体DNA突变的62例(62/119,52.1%)中,14484位点突变仅3例(4.8%).该3例3个家系56例中,28例有眼部症状,外显率50%.发病经过和临床表现类似11778位点突变的LHON,但其中视力恢复者17例(60.7%).15例家属的血样检测再次证实为14484位点突变.结论:我国LHON患者中14484位点突变者少见,其临床表现与11778位点突变者相似,惟视力恢复率高.

简介:目的探讨小梁切除术中连续锁边缝合的两种不同结膜瓣对泪膜稳定性的影响。方法双眼原发性青光眼患者26例,双眼均行小梁切除术,左眼组:以穹窿部为基底的结膜瓣组26例26眼;右眼组:以角膜缘为基底的结膜瓣组26例26眼,两组中结膜瓣均采用连续缝合密闭切口,并检测术前1d、术后1d、7d、14d、30d、60d的泪膜破裂时间(BreakupTime,BUT)、基础泪液分泌试验(SchirmerItest,SIT)、角膜荧光素染色积分(fluorescenceintegral,FI)。结果两组间BUT、SchirmerI试验于术后1d、7d、14d、30d及60d比较差异均有统计学意义(均P0.05)。结论连续锁边缝合的以穹窿为基底结膜瓣的小梁切除术显著降低了泪膜的稳定性,为提高患者的舒适度我们主张以角膜缘为基底作为手术切口。
