简介：目的:研究巩膜扣带术(scleralbuckling,SB)联合玻璃体注气术治疗孔源性视网膜脱离(rhegmatogenousretinaldetachment,RRD)的临床疗效及对患者血清中氨基酸、血管内皮生长因子(vascularendothelialgrowthfactor,VEGF)的影响。方法:回顾性分析我院收治的RRD患者150例150眼临床资料,将仅接受SB的患者81例81眼纳入未注气组,接受SB+玻璃体注气术的患者69例69眼纳入注气组,比较两组患者手术疗效和术前、术后血清中氨基酸、VEGF水平等情况。结果:两组患者术后各时间点视网膜复位率比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05);注气组术后1d眼压明显高于未注气组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),两组患者术后5d眼压比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);两组患者术后术眼裸眼视力较术前均明显改善,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);术后5d,两组患者血清中组氨酸、谷氨酸、苯丙氨酸、VEGF水平较术前均显著降低,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),但组间比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);两组患者血清中精氨酸、亮氨酸、异亮氨酸、甘氨酸水平与术前比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);术后1mo,两组患者视功能相关生活质量总分和各维目评分均较术前明显升高,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05),但两组间各评分比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);注气组术后并发症总发生率为7.2%(5/69)与未注气组的9.9%(8/81)比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。结论:SB联合玻璃体注气术有助于RRD患者视功能和眼压的早期恢复,降低血清中组氨酸、谷氨酸、苯丙氨酸、VEGF水平,且安全性较高。

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：随着研究生招生观念的转变，招收的医学临床专业学位研究生的比重越来越大，对专业型研究生的培养也越来越注重实用。我们在眼科专业型研究生临床培养中，增加病房临床实践时间，特别注重典型病例的示范作用，每一个专业组都会结合自己专业的特点，将典型病例的特点从各个角度展示给广大研究生们，培养其临床诊治思辨能力，培训其显微手术技巧，从临床病历书写到记录总结，结合文献复习，拓展知识结构，锻炼专业型研究生论文书写能力，并以典型病例为基础，扩展知识覆盖面，引申注意事项及特殊病例的诊治。这套严格的培养体系，使专业型研究生能举一反三，从典型病例、重点病例中获取对该种病情的最直观的全景了解与熟悉，以最少的时间掌握最多的临床知识，丰富临床经验，为将来工作岗位中的考核打下基础。
