METHODS： An interventional, restrospective study of 41 eyes of 41 patients who had completed 12mo of follow-up, divided into group 1 （1.25 mg of bevacizumab, 21 eyes of 21 patients） and group 2 （2.5 mg of bevacizumab, 20 eyes of 21 patients）. Complete ophthalmic examination, fluorescein angiography, enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography and measurement of retinal vessel diameter with IVAN software were performed at baseline and follow-up. RESULTS： The SFChT changed from 279.1 （165-431） μm at baseline to 277.0 （149-413） μm at 12mo in group 1 （P= 0.086）, and from 301.4 （212-483） μm to 300.3 （199-514） μm in group 2 （P=0.076）. The central retinal arteriolar equivalent （CRAE） changed from 128.8 ±11.2 μm at baseline to 134.5±8.4 μm at 12mo in group 1, and from 134.6±9.0 μm to 131.4±12.7 μm in group 2 （P =0.767）. The central retinal venular equivalent （CRVE） changed from 204.1±24.4 μm at baseline to 196.3±28.2 μm at 12mo in group 1, and from 205.8±16.3 μm to 194.8±18.2 μm in group 2 （P=0.019）. The mean central macular thickness （P〈0.05） and average best-corrected visual acuity （BCVA; P〈0.05） improved in both groups CONCLUSION： Changes in the SFChT are not statistically significant and not different according to the doses of bevacizumab. The CRAE did not show significant change, however, the CRVE showed significant decrease regardless of the dose.展开更多

The incidence was 1.43%. The abnormal choroidal vessels showed round- shapet,focal enlargement, abnormal shape and entrance, satellite appearance, and vascularloops. These might be due to congenital abnormality of choroid.Conclusion: ICGA could be used to observe the abnormal choroidal vessels.展开更多

This young lady concurred with aorta ventralis thrombosis and bilateral iliac artery occlusion when presented, and experienced a rapid deterioration of vision. She also has a history of recurrent miscarriage. Corticosteroid,immunosuppression and anticoagulation therapy were administered. Patients with APS associated with SLE are at risk for thrombotic phenomena, which may affect the ocular vessels of all sizes, including choroidal vessel.Our case alerts ophthalmologists and rheumatologists that bilateral choroidal occlusion may indeed be developed in patients with APS associated with SLE, and is a potential cause of visual morbidity.展开更多

Migraine patients were divided into the ≤2 migraine attacks per month group and the ≥5 migraine attacks per month group. All subjects underwent complete ophthalmological and neurological examinations before measurements. Retinal vessel diameters and choroidal thickness were examined with the Spectralis OCT.RESULTS：The mean diameters of the arteries in the eyes on the headache side of control group,≥5 migraine attacks per month and ≤2 migraine attacks per month group at 480 μm from the optic disk（Raster 3）were 119.54±46.69,136.68±25.93 and 119.34±31.75 μm respectively with a steady decline to 105.57±32.15,118.18±31.87 and 108.05±38.77 μm at 1440 μm（Raster 7）,the last measurement point,respectively. The retinal artery diameter measurements were significantly increased in ≥5 migraine attacks per month patients at four out of five measured points compared to control group（P〈0.05）. There were no statistical differences at any of the points of vein measurements. The choroidal thickness measurements were significantly decreased in ≥5 migraine attacks per month patients at all measured points compared to control group（P〈0.05）.CONCLUSION：The retinal artery diameter is found to increase significantly and the choroidal thickness is found to decrease in the eyes on the headache side in ≥5 migraine attacks per month patients compared to control group.展开更多

PCV eyes were subgrouped into group A and unaffected fellow eyes into group B. All patients were diagnosed with PCV by fundus fluorescein angiography.(FFA)and indocyanine green angiography.(ICGA). Sixty age- and gender-matched healthy subjects were enrolled in the control group(group C).Results: No statistical difference was observed among groups in age and gender. Overall, SFCT was correlated with MVD in all subjects(P <0.001; correlation coefficient: 0.759). P values were < 0.001 with a correlation coefficient of 0.686,0.801, and 0.808 in groups A, B, and C, respectively. No statistical significance was noted in SFCT among groups A(266.45±99.51 μm),B(269.57 ± 105.10 μm),and C(243.83±99.68 μm)(P =0.335). However, the MVD in group A was(202.55±72.45 μm), significantly larger than that in group C(166.45 ±56.18 μm,P =0.008), while the MVD in group B(194.75±85.27 μm) was equally significantly greater than that in group C(166.45 ± 56.18 μm)(P=0.038).Conclusion: For both PCV patients and healthy subjects,SFCT was positively correlated with MVD. No statistical significance was noted in SFCT between PCV eyes and unaffected fellow / normal eyes. However, MVD was significantly larger in the PCV affected eyes than in unaffected fellow or normal control eyes, suggesting that MVD could be considered as a sensitive indicator to evaluate choroidal perfusion in PCV patients.展开更多
